She looked up at Song Guan’s darkening face with some hesitation and said:

“Director Song, my sister is also a designer. Can she participate in this design contest as well?”

The nearby reporters were shocked, somewhat unable to grasp Su Xinyan’s maneuver.

“Miss Xinyan, this woman plagiarized your work, and you’re still pleading with Director Song on her behalf. Aren’t you being too kind?”

Others around echoed in agreement.

“That’s right, Xinyan, a plagiarist like this should be banned from the industry!”

“Who knows what she might do next? If she plagiarizes and takes it abroad, wouldn’t that disgrace our country?”

Su Xinyan gave a bitter smile, her voice tinged with helplessness.

“But after all, she is my sister…”

Upon hearing this.

Song Guan’s gaze fell on Su Ran, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes. He always despised those who didn’t make an effort and stole others’ accomplishments.

“I’m sorry, Miss Xinyan, but not just anyone is eligible to participate in our competition, least of all plagiarists.”

His indifferent gaze swept over Su Ran’s face before he continued:

“This lady probably has no chance of participating in the World Designer Contest in this lifetime!”

The crowd was astonished. Was Song Guan speaking of banning Su Ran from the design industry?

But then again, they thought it seemed only fair.

Hu Jialiang glared fiercely at Song Guan, as if he wished he could charge forward and tear him apart.

And Su Ran on the stage kept her lips curved, her beautiful brows slightly raised, radiant and willful.

“I need your permission to compete in the contest? Who do you think you are?”

Su Ran’s tone was unhurried, and on hearing her words, Song Guan’s face turned steel blue with an angry but amused smile.

“Good, very good. It seems this lady is quite confident. You’ll soon find out who I am.”

Su Ran didn’t spare Song Guan an additional glance and said leisurely:

“I’m not interested in knowing what you count for. What I want to know is, by personally inviting a plagiarist as a special guest, is Director Song trying to slap someone’s face?”

Su Ran’s words turned Su Xinyan’s face pale, while Song Guan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his look one of displeasure.

“What do you mean?”

Su Ran scoffed lightly and glanced at him disdainfully.

“Are you deaf?”

“You…”

Su Ran turned around just in time to see Su Xinyan looking at her angrily, her beautiful face filled with sadness and grievance.

“Sister, I’ve been thinking of you all along, how can you wrong me like this?”

As the words fell.

Her beautiful eyes reddened slightly, shining tears swirling in them, looking restrained and fragile.

Su Ran almost wanted to applaud her acting skills.

“You usually like to suppress and bully me, and I could tolerate that, but today is Enrich’s new product show. Do you realize the severe consequences your words could bring to the Su Family? You cannot wish to destroy the Su Family just because you don’t like me.”

With the last word spoken, the tears in Su Xinyan’s eyes also fell, her appearance like pear blossoms bathed in rain, arousing sympathy.

Wen Peipei’s face darkened, the furrowed brows highlighting her anger at the moment.

“Fine, since you say I plagiarized, then bring out the evidence. If there’s no evidence, even if you are my sister, I won’t accept it.”

Her face showed indignation, fragile yet feigning strength as she spoke.

At this point.

Gu Heng had already come to Su Xinyan’s side, embracing her tenderly, his gaze at Su Ran filled with estranged reproach.

And Su Xinyan’s delicate and weak words instantly aroused righteous indignation among the people.
