The host, beaming with excitement, warmed up the atmosphere before announcing, “And now, the winner in this round of compet.i.tion is—”

Li Ying lifted her head high, envisioning the spotlight on her as she delivered her victory speech, with everyone else looking on in envy.

With a confident smirk, she awaited her name.

Wei Jia, meanwhile, remained calm and composed, showing no signs of emotion.

Li Ying, glancing at Wei Jia, found her unaffected demeanor increasingly pretentious.

The host declared, “The winner is—Wei Jia!”

The announcement was met with thunderous applause. Li Ying’s smug expression froze in disbelief as she stared at Wei Jia.

Wei Jia’s tension eased into a smile.

Li Ying, seeing Wei Jia’s smile, felt a sting of annoyance and protested, “I don’t accept this result!”

The room fell silent, all eyes turning to Li Ying.

Gu Dai, arms crossed and with a sly smile, inquired, “And why don’t you accept it?”

Li Ying accused, “You were clearly satisfied with my work. Why choose Wei Jia? Did she bribe you?”

Pausing, she added venomously, “No, Wei Jia is too poor. She must have used underhanded means, perhaps seducing someone influential!”

Gu Dai, with anger bubbling beneath the surface, slammed her hand on the table and spoke, struggling to suppress her fury. “Li Ying, you’re a girl too. Why would you make such malicious speculations about other girls?”

Li Ying, showing no signs of remorse, continued to speak. “You’re so protective of Wei Jia. Is it because you also became a special guest through backdoor dealings?”

Song Ling, arriving in the city and learning of the Suzhou embroidery contest, heard Li Ying’s accusation as he approached.

His expression darkened, glaring coldly at Li Ying.

Upon witnessing the scene, Zhao Xuan spoke up, “President Song, we should go down and help Miss Gu Dai.”

Song Ling declined, “No need.”

Zhao Xuan scratched his head in confusion, asking, “Why not?”

Song Ling looked down, “Let’s wait and see. I believe in Gu Dai’s ability to handle the situation on her own. She doesn’t need my help.”

Zhao Xuan was momentarily stunned by this response, but Song Ling had already made up his mind, and he could only nod in agreement.

Gu Dai sat back down and smiled, “Miss Li Ying, spreading rumors is against the law. If you apologize to me now, I might let this go for the time being. But if you insist on this path, don’t blame me for taking legal action.”

Li Ying panicked immediately.

Though she considered her family background to be superior compared to others from small cities, her experience with lawyers was limited to television dramas.

The reality of legal proceedings terrified her, turning her face pale with fear.

Lowering her head, Li Ying hurriedly apologized, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have slandered you for getting in through backdoor dealings.”

Gu Dai had thought Li Ying, with her brazen demeanor, would be difficult to deal with. It turned out she was only strong on the surface.

Gu Dai looked down again and spoke, “You also called me an ugly woman. I hope you can apologize for that as well.”

Li Ying, caught off guard that Gu Dai knew about this, wondered who had told her.

Could it be Wei Jia? It must be Wei Jia!

Her gaze turned coldly towards Wei Jia, and she asked through gritted teeth, “Was it you? Did you tell on me?”

Gu Dai answered, “No.”

Li Ying was stunned, then turned to look at Mao Ni.

She had only spoken ill of Gu Dai in front of these two, so it had to be one of them!

Gu Dai, antic.i.p.ating Li Ying’s thoughts, spoke again, “No one told me anything. I know about this because… I heard it myself.”

Heard it herself…

Li Ying looked at Gu Dai in disbelief.

Before Li Ying could say anything, the contestants erupted in discussion.

“What kind of eyes does this Li Ying have? The beautiful sister is so pretty, and she called her ugly?”

“I think she’s just jealous of someone prettier than herself. She can’t admit she’s inferior, so she constantly belittles others in her mind to feel better.”

“How disgusting, there are such people in the world..”
