The seats in the contestant waiting area were slightly higher than the judges' seats. Shen Suihuan sat there, watching the farce being staged by the Shen brothers below with a cold eye. Her gaze was calm, as if she were watching a play that had nothing to do with her.

Shen was flustered by Shen Si's words again, and looked up at Shen Suihuan.

He was not rushing to find her as Shen Si said, he just wanted to come and watch his sister's game.

But Shen Suihuan didn't show any emotion at all, which made Shen You feel relieved, but also filled with an indescribable sadness.

Shen Si noticed his second brother's gaze and looked up at Shen Suihuan.

His eyes were filled with anger, and he pointed at her with trembling fingers: "Get down here! Are you deliberately slandering Xixi?"

When Song Yanxi heard this, her body trembled and she shrank into Shen Wu's arms.

Her tears welled up and her sobs grew more intense. She whispered in a hoarse voice, "Fourth Brother, please don't talk to me like that. My second brother is already speechless because of me. Getting angry at me like this will only make him even more upset."

As she said this, tears fell down her face, making her look pitiful. But in her tear-soaked eyes, a glimmer of pride flashed.

I don't know how the news of her using Shen Suihuan's manuscript was exposed, but Shen Suihuan must bear the blame! She doesn't want her reputation to be ruined!

Jiang Zhou stepped forward, stood sideways in front of Shen Suihuan, and raised his eyebrows slightly, which made people feel an invisible sense of oppression.

Shen Suihuan reached out and gently pressed on Jiang Zhou's arm.

"Brother, I can handle it."

She is different from Song Yanxi. She is not a dodder that relies on others to grow.

Shen Suihuan walked down the stairs slowly, each step carrying a calm and unhurried aura. She stood in front of the Shen brothers and turned to Song Yanxi, a faint smile on her lips, a hint of coldness and mockery.

"Feeling wronged? Feeling wronged?"

Shen Wu and Shen Si's expressions were extremely ugly.

Shen Wu stared at Shen Suihuan, as if he wanted to tear her apart with his eyes. Shen Si clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white.

"Xixi couldn't possibly plagiarize!" Shen Wu stood in front of Song Yanxi, "She certainly couldn't possibly plagiarize your work! You don't even know your level!"

Shen Suihuan chuckled: "Who said she plagiarized my work?"

Song Yanxi looked up suddenly, her eyes wide open.

She clearly got the manuscripts from Shen Suihuan's room, and after checking, she found that those manuscripts had never been registered.

Shen Wu and Shen Si also looked at Shen Suihuan warily.

Shen Suihuan looked at Song Yanxi with a smile, casually took out some design works and projected them onto the big screen.

Several similar works that were different from Song Yeon-hee's but simplified were immediately projected on the big screen.

"Those drafts were designs that Master Tina created when she was raising funds for children in mountainous areas," Shen Suihuan said slowly. "Because they weren't used for commercial purposes, they weren't registered. But many people in the industry should have seen them, and the originals are sealed in the project book for that event."

Song Yanxi's face turned pale in an instant.

"Moreover, this activity has been reported in newspapers and magazines and can be found there," Shen Suihuan added.

Song Yanxi was trembling all over.

She has never cared about the dynamics of the design circle. With Shen Suihuan as her free labor, she doesn't need to bother learning or accumulating knowledge.

When she saw the manuscript in Shen Suihuan's room, she naturally thought that it was Shen Suihuan's work.

Song Yanxi immediately realized that the manuscripts she had secretly taken were Shen Suihuan's imitations!

Even though the Shen brothers didn't understand the design world and didn't know who Tina was, they understood that these works had nothing to do with Shen Suihuan, and it wasn't Shen Suihuan who framed her.

Song Yanxi can't clear her name anymore!

But they still didn't want to believe that Song Yanxi would plagiarize, and they subconsciously looked at Song Yanxi.

"I didn't... I didn't mean to..." Song Yanxi's voice trembled, tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string, her hands tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, "I thought it was your work..."

Shen Suihuan's eyes were like ice, piercing Song Yanxi directly. Her voice was calm and sharp, "So you admit that you deliberately took my design draft?"

Song Yanxi's head shot up, her pupils constricting. She realized she'd let something slip, and her blood drained from her cheeks.

Her eyes frantically glanced back and forth between Shen Wu and Shen Si, her eyes full of pleading.

In the past, as long as she threw herself into their arms like this, they would stand by her without hesitation.

Shen Si clenched and unclenched his fists, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. Shen Wu leaned slightly to the side, as if wanting to step forward to defend Song Yanxi.

At this moment, Shen suddenly stretched out his arms and stood in front of them.

His movement was not big, but it made the two people who were about to make a move stop in their tracks.

Shen You's expression gradually became complicated. He recalled that Sui Huan's efforts over the years were ignored by them, and instead they praised Song Yanxi to the sky.

Combined with the information Song Yanxi had just inadvertently revealed, a terrible idea arose in Shen's mind: Song Yanxi had been stealing Sui Huan's work.

So, was the incident that had driven Sui Huan to leave home in despair over a month earlier also due to Song Yanxi stealing the manuscript? Song Yanxi, full of lies, tearfully accused Sui Huan of ruining her design out of jealousy...

He even punished Sui Huan for this!

Shen You felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his face turned pale in an instant. He covered his heart tightly, not daring to think any further. It was as if the air around him seemed to solidify, making it impossible for him to breathe!

Shen covered his chest again and staggered backward unsteadily.

But he struggled forward and walked towards Shen Suihuan.

He was wrong. He shouldn't have punished Sui Huan. Sui Huan was not wrong at all. It was him, it was they who were wrong!

He was in so much pain that he couldn't make a sound. His vision was blurry and he staggered a few steps before falling towards Shen Suihuan.

Shen Suihuan subconsciously reached out to help him, but due to the height difference, he was unable to steady his shaking body.

"Second brother!" Shen Si and Shen Wu finally came to their senses and hurried forward to support him.

Shen's face was pale, his breathing was rapid, and he was completely unconscious.

"Call an ambulance!" Shen Suihuan said calmly. She turned and dialed the emergency number, giving the address in a steady voice.

Shen was rushed to the hospital again.

Song Yanxi was standing by and took advantage of his fainting to leave the competition venue together.

In the hospital corridor, Song Yanxi squatted outside the emergency room, her face buried in her hands, her shoulders twitching slightly. Passing nurses cast sympathetic glances. Shen Si sat on a bench, his legs shaking anxiously. Shen Wu leaned against the wall, his expression gloomy.

Song Yanxi thought she had escaped danger, but she resented Shen You in her heart. He promised to protect her for the rest of her life, but in the end he sided with Shen Suihuan!

He fainted, which was a relief for her. If he could die, it would be better. She didn't need a treacherous brother. If he died, she could still blame it all on Shen Suihuan, saying that Shen Suihuan had angered him to death.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated. She swiped the screen and saw a lawyer's letter from Tina Studio.

"Ms. Song, regarding the work you used in the international fashion design competition, it has been verified to be a charity work by Master Tina. This is a serious infringement of our intellectual property rights..."

Song Yanxi felt like she was falling into an icy cave!
