Ye Nanshen didn’t respond. Neither did Mr. and Mrs. Gu.

However, Gu Yuyan stepped forward with a gracious smile and said, “Designers who work with Qiyan Studio are all talented individuals. I have high regard for Mr. Ding, and I believe there will be opportunities for collaboration in the future.”

Gu Yuyan gave Ding Ziqiu a way to gracefully exit the situation, and he was grateful. He looked at her with newfound admiration and said, “Miss Gu, you are truly talented and beautiful. You have my utmost respect.”

Gu Yuyan smiled, choosing to remain silent.

After Ding Ziqiu had introduced himself, Zheng Zhihuan finally spoke, “Mr. Ding, you probably heard our conversation just now. I believe you must have something you’d like to say to everyone here.”

Ding Ziqiu nodded, turned to face the crowd, and spoke with a slight lift in his voice, “Indeed, there are a few things I’d like to clarify. Regarding the gown that Miss Rong is wearing, the final product has already been created. However, our boss didn’t loan this piece out. Instead, he had it sent to the capital city to participate in a fashion design competition scheduled for two months from now.”

“So, are you saying that the gown Miss Rong is wearing is indeed a counterfeit?” someone immediately chimed in.

Ding Ziqiu remained enigmatic, choosing not to answer. But his silence only fueled the crowd’s suspicions, making them even more convinced that the gown was a fake.

Suddenly, the hall was abuzz with whispers and debates, each more heated than the last.

“Look, that Miss Rong seems to have some connection with Jingsheng Corporation. Didn’t Jingsheng Corporation just venture into the design industry? Are they trying to sabotage their own reputation?”

“Probably Jingsheng Corporation isn’t capable of producing this design yet, and she just liked this dress. So, she took it upon herself to make a knockoff without getting permission?”

“My God! Isn’t that brazen? Is this copyright infringement?”

“Obviously, what do you think?”

“That woman is shameless! She’s wearing a fake just to steal the limelight. Could it be because she knew Miss Gu would be wearing Qiyan Studio’s latest design today and wanted to compete?”

“That’s likely! But such a tactic is so clumsy. I initially thought she looked good, but beauty means nothing when you’re stealing someone’s design. Ugh! I take back my earlier compliment.”

The crowd’s remarks were incessant, each one more insulting than the last.

Ye Nanshen’s eyes narrowed, the pupils turning a shade darker, flickering with a hint of red.

Gu Yuyan’s smile broadened, almost gleefully.

Zheng Zhihuan looked defiantly at Rong Qi.

Gu Yuyan quickly reined in her expression, adopting a distressed look, and said, “It’s all a misunderstanding. Miss Rong just loved Qiyan Studio’s design so much that she unknowingly had a fake made. Let’s not take it to heart. I’ll personally apologize to Qiyan Studio’s people on her behalf tomorrow. Let’s not discuss this any further.”

Then, Gu Yuyan turned to Rong Qi and said, “Miss Rong, if there’s anything you’d like to wear in the future, just let me know. Even if I have to embarrass myself, I’ll get it for you. We’re besties, after all; there’s no need to stand on ceremony.”

Gu Yuyan’s words seemed supportive, but each sentence further solidified the claim that Rong Qi was wearing a counterfeit.

Rong Qi chuckled lightly, “Are you done? May I speak now?”

Gu Yuyan frowned, her face showing disapproval, “Miss Rong, there’s no need for explanations. Nanshen and I will handle this, don’t worry.”

Rong Qi smiled lightly, looking at Gu Yuyan, and said, “Sorry, I don’t know you well enough. This matter concerns my reputation, and I believe I have the right to speak.”

Gu Yuyan was taken aback, her face turning a shade darker..
