Jia Hao sat down slowly while Ruo Lan stretched out her hand and used her sweetest voice to greet Wei Ning.
“Hi, President Wei, I am Ruo Lan.”
Her fair hands were well-maintained, and there were several rings on her fingers.
Wei Ning laughed. “I know you. You’re the plagiarist.”
Ruo Lan’s expression immediately changed and her heart sank. She slowly pulled her hand back. “President Wei, what do you mean by this? Why don’t I understand?”
Her heart raced as she looked at Jia Hao in a panic.
F*ck!
Jia Hao cursed on the inside. Just by looking at him, it was clear that his relationship with Ruo Lan wasn’t normal.
What an idiot!
“It’s fine, let me remind you.”
Wei Ning smiled, leaned back in his chair, and clapped his hands.
A figure stepped in from next door. Her temperament was soft and docile, and she had a babyface.
When she looked into Ruo Lan’s eyes, there was a trace of anger.
“Yun Shuihan?!”
Ruo Lan screamed in surprise and disbelief. “What are you doing here?!”
She had done her research. After Yun Shuihan stopped writing, she had gone back to focus on her work. All these years, she had just been a small-time employee. How did she get to know someone like President Wei?
By using her face?
As soon as she thought this, Ruo Lan shook her head in denial.
She suddenly realized a frightening possibility.
If Yun Shuihan was here, where were the other three girls?
“It seems like you remember now.”
Wei Ning nodded his head casually. “I don’t care how the website operated before, but I am the CEO now. I will never allow plagiarism to occur, nor will I tolerate it!”
“President Wei, I didn’t!”
Ruo Lan gritted her teeth and pinched her thigh. Tears immediately started rolling from her eyes.
She cried pitifully. “This woman is framing me. She hasn’t written for so long and her latest novel was ten years ago. How could I have read it? Besides, I’m a top author, why would I plagiarize her?”
“Save it!” Yun Shuihan took a deep breath and clenched her fists. “You’re still so persistent. Not only are you not apologizing for plagiarizing, you’re even blaming the victim. So what if it’s been ten years? Even if it’s been 20-30 years, I will still remember what I’ve written! If you’re so sure that you didn’t plagiarize, are you brave enough to compare our work?”
Inside the resting room, Tang Xinrou smiled and raised her thumb.
She was finally toughening up.
Yaoyao was amazing!
“I...”
Ruo Lan went weak at the knees. Yun Shuihan was suddenly so fierce that it made her feel guilty. Her voice grew quieter and quieter. “Why wouldn’t I be brave enough?”
Jia Hao took a deep breath and rubbed his cheeks.
This idiot!
These words were completely exposing her guilt!
Wei Ning’s lips curved. “Oh? Let’s get started then. I will believe the person who makes more sense.”
“Me! Let me speak first!” Ruo Lan glanced at Yun Shuihan and fought to speak first. “Before I wrote this novel, I discussed the plot with my editor. My friends were also aware of the direction I was headed. They can be my witnesses!”
Yun Shuihan didn’t say anything.
Wei Ning immediately called for Ruo Lan’s editor as well as the friend she mentioned to substantiate her claims.
Ruo Lan immediately relaxed.
She looked at Wei Ning, teary-eyed, and said pitifully, “President Wei, you must believe me now. They can all vouch for me! Novels are all similar in some way. You’re not part of the operations team so you have no idea that overlaps happen all the time. I didn’t do it on purpose!”
