Lin Qingqian and Ming Xiao stood under the stage and watched as the two of

them walked over with their own brilliance.

Ming Xiao glanced at Lin Qingqian coldly from the corner of his eye, unable to hide the jealousy in her eyes.

Lin Qingqian did not even look at her. She focused on Luo Tianxue on the runway, her eyes filled with praise.

The cheongsam could only be displayed better with Luo Tianxue’s temperament.

The two of them walked to the designated spot on the catwalk and stopped. They turned around so that the judges could see them better.

The seven judges at the judges’ table revealed looks of approval when they saw the two clothes. They lowered their heads and whispered something to the people around them.

More than ten seconds later, Luo Tianxue and Zhou Jinran walked back.

Just as she was about to leave the stage, Luo Tianxue’s high heels stepped on Zhou Jinran’s skirt.

With a hiss, more than half of her skirt was torn open, like a brilliant lotus petal that had suddenly been torn apart.

Zhou Jinran’s expression suddenly turned ugly as she glared at Luo Tianxue angrily.

Luo Tianxue’s exquisite face was filled with innocence and fear. “I’m… I’m sorry, Senior… I didn’t do it on purpose…”

“I ruined such a beautiful design. What should I do?” She looked even more anxious than Zhou Jinran and blamed herself until her eyes turned red.

When she reached out to touch Zhou Jinran’s dress, Zhou Jinran pushed her away and warned sternly, “Don’t touch me.”

Lin Qingqian and Ming Xiao came over from the front and wanted to go on stage with them. Before they got close, they heard their argument and hurriedly walked over.

“What’s going on?” Lin Qingqian walked to Luo Tianxue’s side and asked.

Luo Tianxue’s eyes were filled with tears as she blamed herself. “Qingqian, when I came down, I accidentally stepped on Senior’s dress and tore it. What should I do?”

She shook Lin Qingqian’s arm as if she was the one being bullied.

Lin Qingqian: “.. ‘

When Ming Xiao saw that her hard work had been destroyed, her eyes were immediately filled with killing intent as she shot it at Luo Tianxue.

Luo Tianxue seemed to be frightened by her and hid behind Lin Qingqian while trembling.

“It’s just the semi-finals. Is it worth you using such despicable methods?” Ming Xiao mocked coldly.

Lin Qingqian’s expression was calm as she replied unhurriedly, “She said it was an accident. ”

“You know very well if it’s an accident,” Ming Xiao sneered.

“You’re going on stage in less than two minutes. You should think about how to remedy the situation!” Lin Qingqian said indifferently.

Ming Xiao’s lips curled into a cold and charming smile. “That’s simple…’

She walked in front of Luo Tianxue and raised a pair of scissors in her hand, about to stab Luo Tianxue.

Luo Tianxue’s expression suddenly changed. Before she could react, Lin Qingqian grabbed her wrist, her expression as cold as ice.

Ming Xiao wanted to shake off Lin Qingqian’s hand, but she didn’t have as much strength.

“You can destroy my clothes, but if you hurt her—” Lin Qingqian paused and looked at Luo Tianxue, whose face was slightly pale. “Are you sure you want to offend Lu Dongcheng?”

Ming Xiao had never suffered such humiliation before. Right now, she only wanted to cut Lin Qingqian’s clothes. As for the life and death of Luo Tianxue, that b*tch, it was not important.

If she hurt Luo Tianxue, she would offend Lu Dongcheng. Now that Lu Dongcheng was developing rapidly in Lan City, he might be able to become another big shot next to the Jiang Family very soon.

Her father was thinking of a way to annex the Jiang Family. The Ming Corporation should not make more enemies now.

Ming Xiao looked at her coldly and snorted before leaving.

Zhou Jinran frowned. “What should we do now?”

Ming Xiao stopped in her tracks when he passed by her. Her gaze landed on her torn dress and she said in a cold voice, “The trash should be in the trash can.” As soon as she finished speaking, she left without looking back.

Zhou Jinran understood the meaning behind her words and did not say anything else. She looked meaningfully at Luo Tianxue and turned to leave.

Luo Tianxue, who was trembling in fear a second ago, was furious. “This Ming Xiao actually dared to hurt me!”

Lin Qingqian turned her head and her expression darkened slightly. “If not for

Lu Dongcheng supporting you, she would have already killed you!”

Luo Tianxue’s delicate face was filled with dark emotions. “Who asked Zhou Jinran to mock me!”

She had never been one to hold grudges. But if she had a grudge, she would vent it out on the spot.

“You don’t have to worry about Ming Xiao dealing with you. I’m here too.” Luo Tianxue thought that she was worried that Ming Xiao would take revenge on her and comforted her.

“The old enmity between Ming Xiao and me doesn’t matter much, but Ming Xiao this woman…” Lin Qingqian paused and reminded her kindly, “You’ve offended her. You have to be careful in the future.”

Ming Xiao would never let Luo Tianxue off just like that.

Luo Tianxue snorted disapprovingly. “Ask her to bring it on. Who’s afraid?”

Lin Qingqian smiled helplessly. “That’s right. One of you is a green tea b*tch, and the other is a black lotus. I was worried for nothing.”

Luo Tianxue:

Ming Xiao had withdrawn from the competition, and the cheongsam designed by Lin Qingqian had won the favor of the five judges at the event location. The other two judges were mean and tricky in their questions for Lin Qingqian, but Lin Qingqian’s answers were watertight, and she still entered the finals with the good result of first place.

In addition, Xu Zhao’s designs incorporating the distinctive characteristics of a minority ethnic group also made it to the finals, while the other eight designers come from eight different countries.

The finals would be held in half a month with the champions battle. In other words, the ten contestants had to design and make two sets of clothes to participate in the finals and finals within half a month.

Among them, three of them had the risk of not being able to enter the champions round.

Because of the time constraints, some designers stayed in Milan and didn’t go back. However, Lin Qingqian had decided from the beginning that she wanted to return to Lan City after the semi-finals.

She had asked Su Ying to book the tickets in advance.

However, before she returned, there was already a wave of public opinion on the domestic internet.

The reason was that Ming Xiao had withdrawn from the competition while Lin Qingqian had obtained a high score of first place with her design of the cheongsam.

On Weibo, someone immediately posted a suggestive post, insinuating that someone sabotaged another designer’s work in order to secure the first place

Before Lin Qingqian’s company could publish a clarification, and before the fans could be happy, they were caught off guard and scolded by the entire

Internet.

Lin Qingqian’s fans: ?

Lin Qingqian was not surprised to receive Su Ying’s call.

Luo Tianxue had made Ming Xiao suffer such a huge loss. Since Ming Xiao could not touch Luo Tianxue, she naturally had to vent her anger on her.

“It doesn’t matter. The prepared documents will continue to be published. The rest will be resolved by someone,” Lin Qingqian said indifferently.

This matter was caused by Luo Tianxue himself, so she naturally had to clean up the mess herself.

The little girl couldn’t be spoiled, or she would easily grow up crooked.

When Lin Qingqian packed her luggage and called Jiang Yanshen, no one picked up.

Presumably, he was busy with work, so she did not call again and walked out of the room with her luggage.

Han Liubai happened to come out of the room next door and his gaze landed on her luggage. “You’re done packing so quickly?”

Lin Qingqian nodded. “I’m going to the airport early so that I won’t be delayed by the traffic jam.”

“Then wait for me. I still have something to pack.” Han Liubai revealed an apologetic expression.

Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. “There’s no hurry. Take your time to pack. I’ll go and settle the procedures first.”

Han Liubai nodded, his eyes following her back. The gentleness in his eyes disappeared bit by bit, leaving only a complicated and obscure expression.

At the airport.

Lin Qingqian and Han Liubai brought the makeup artist and Chen Mu into the VIP waiting room and saw Ming Xiao sitting in front of the bar.

For a moment, the air was filled with invisible smoke. Ming Xiao looked at her as if the words “enemies on a narrow road” were written in her eyes.

Chen Mu didn’t care much and asked respectfully, “Madam, what do you want to drink?”

“Juice,” Lin Qingqian replied softly and asked Han Liubai and the makeup artist.

The two of them asked for coffee.

Chen Mu went to order and Ming Xiao happened to walk over with a coffee cup.

Han Liubai slowly frowned and subconsciously blocked in front of Lin Qingqian. His eyes were slightly cold, and there was a hint of warning in them.

Ming Xiao stopped in her tracks and smiled with her red lips. “You’re really lucky to have an escort wherever you go.”

Lin Qingqian stood sideways beside Han Liubai and said unhurriedly, “Senior’s sidekicks are all gone.”

Ming Xiao did not get angry when she heard the sarcasm in her words. She stared at her meaningfully and said, “I haven’t congratulated you for taking first place and entering the finals, but…”

She paused and the smile on her face deepened. She said slowly, “I’ve prepared a big gift for you in Lan City. I hope you like it.”

A trace of doubt flashed across Lin Qingqian’s eyes. Before she could ask further, she heard Han Liubai’s low voice say, “Editor-in-chief Ming, please respect yourself.”

Ming Xiao glanced at him and took a sip of coffee before handing the coffee cup to the makeup artist.

The makeup artist was stunned. She seemed to have instinctively reached out to catch it.

She was on the brink of tears and wanted to explain. “President Lin, I didn’t…” “Send it back to the bar.” Lin Qingqian didn’t blame her.

Only then did the makeup artist heave a sigh of relief and hurriedly place the cup on the bar.

Lin Qingqian turned her head to look in the direction that Ming Xiao had left in, her clear eyes filled with a layer of fog.

“What’s wrong?” Han Liubai asked gently.

Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and shook her head. “Nothing.”

She felt a little strange.

With Ming Xiao’s vengeful personality, Luo Tianxue had ruined her design. She should hate her to the core, but why…

She did not look angry at all. In fact, she looked a little… happy?

What was the big gift she was talking about?

“She’s a lunatic. Don’t take her words seriously. She might have said it on purpose to make you uneasy and affect your subsequent competition.”

Han Liubai’s words pulled her out of her chaotic thoughts.

Lin Qingqian looked up at him and moved her lips. “Perhaps.”

Lan City, International Airport.

Lin Qingqian and the others walked out of the international exit. Many people were holding signs at the exit to welcome them.

She casually glanced around but did not see a familiar figure.

Han Liubai pushed his luggage and asked, “Do you need a lift?”

“There’s no need. Chen Mu’s car is parked at the airport.” Lin Qingqian rejected with a smile. “Go back and rest well. You don’t have to come to the company tomorrow.”

The makeup artist was very happy to hear that she did not have to go to work tomorrow, but Han Liubai did not react. He pushed his luggage and boarded a taxi.

Chen Mu went to the parking lot to drive the car over. Lin Qingqian stood by the roadside and waited. She opened her cell phone and saw that Jiang Yanshen had yet to reply to the WeChat message she had sent to him before boarding the plane.

“If he doesn’t have time to pick me up, don’t he even have time to reply to my

message?”
