Chapter 391: Once Could But Not Twice-I

The words she said was not taken lightly by the guests. Xiao Yun knew what would happened thus she knows well what to do too. Wang Shi Ning, Qingge, and Wang Elders frowned. Wang Yongyi and Wang Yan Zhi had just began to learn and trust the little girl only now to find out how the girl seemed to be holding not a very good secret.

Xiao Yun then continued, "I was certainly the one who had spoken in the recording. It was my voice and genuinely mine." The people's whisperings now turned into a racket. For a company to steal designs and took plagiarism, no one in the hall could accept her words lightly. It was the worse crime Xiao Yun could ever do in a fashion competition.

Lin Chang Lu's smile was wide, twisting to a grin. Her beautiful face was wrapped with envy she had for Xiao Yun and now proudness came to rest on her lips as she was able to overthrow Xiao Yun to the deepest pit of failure. It was surprising for Xiao Yun to confess but now she was in the tip of a sword, where not confessing will only be taken far worse by the guests and judges who wouldn't accept her dishonesty lightly. When Lin Chang Lu closed her eyes, she could imagine to see how tomorrow, the news about Azure would rioted and Golden Tree will once again raise into the highest fame.

"However the conversation doesn't goes the way it sounded from Mr. Zhu's recording." Xiao Yun looked at Zhu Yi Nian who had taken a step away and snorted.

Xiao Yun was correct, the conversation didn't sounded that way, but they had tampered with the recording. But she didn't have the proof of how it goes. Zhu Yi Nan crowned at her, "It didn't goes that way? I could still remember what happened clearly that day." He sounded hurt and turned at the judges before to the people present in the wide hall. "Ladies and gentleman, I know that all of you must have a heart of gold. Please help me to stop this injustice, I suffered under." he brought his hand to his chest making a bitter expression. "I could still take it when it was me who have to suffer from the unfairness but there are still many other designers and I don't want them to suffer the way I did now."

"What do I want? Money of course." came a sudden loud voice that startled many people. They turn to see how another recording have been played. The entire time Zhu Yi Nan playing his drama, Xiao Yun requested people to play the recording. This time around it was the truth. The recording was about Zhu Yi Nan asking for money he didn't deserve, sounds of his snobbish tone was an utter opposite than the pitiful one he use previously. From the beginning to the the end of the recording, Zhu Yi Nan's face and Lin Chang Lu broke to pieces.

Lin Chang Lu shot a glare at Xiao Yun. How did she know Zhu Yi Nan have recorded her voice at that conversation to use it against her?! Now it became the opposite!

Zhu Yi Nan frowned and yelled, "This is a lie!!" He pointed his finger to Xiao Yun, "You must have tampered with the recording!" Lin Chang Lu pulled Zhu Yi Nan, sending him an angry glare. He wasn't suppose to speak!

Xiao Yun chuckled and shook her head, "There is a way to proof who was lying. I hope we could use a professional help for this matter." said Xiao Yun to the judges who quickly agreed to this.

Lin Chang Lu glared at Zhu Yi Nan, calling him idiot many time in her mind. What now? Her plan is ruined! Before about ninety nine percent of people believe in her now it had divided into half! Moreover, Xiao Yun didn't seem to be afraid of anything now, making the anxiousness that her plan would fall eating her alive.

"Also, if you may look at this." Xiao Yun said and ask someone to help her bring the dress toward her. The one which she pointed was the brown dress, Taking the fabric, she then say, "Can I assume that the judges also have notice that the fabric of this dress had a completely same texture of Mr. Zhu's dress?"

"Yes." The judges reply.

"This is a swatch of fabric my company brought." Xiao Yun said and from behind Zi Gong came with a roll of fabric. "Please feel the texture." she said and the judges went to feel the smooth texture.

"What's wrong with the fabric?" Zhu Yi Nan snapped and Lin Chang Lu cursed him for continuing to pour oil into the flame.

"This fabric is made with a technique like no others, Mr. Zhu." Xiao Yun then explained, "Since the beginning when I have opened my store, I work with a fabric company that offered the one and only technique use in Hangzhou. This technique of weaving was well known by people in Hangzhou once but after the great war, the technique disappear, leaving only one place who could still weave the fabric in the right way such as it was done in the past." said Xiao Yun and she smiled, "I'm sure there is no one who could imitate the weaving technique."

The female judge frown at this and say, "Ms. Yu you claimed no one would be able to imitate the technique but I see no different from this two dresses."

"Yes of course." Xiao Yun turned her face and flicked her finger. "Because my designer have to made this dress twice after it was stolen."

At the same time Xiao Yun flicked her finger, the screen behind her flickered and a short video played out. Inside the video, a man who was none other than Zhu Yi Nan entered the private room of Chuan Huan Jing. He then moved to the table where there was a stack of papers which was the designs Chuan Huan Jing had created. When he had looted all the designs paper, he then pulled a curtain and saw the brown dress to grin widely and sneakily took the dress.

When the video ended all eyes fell on Zhu Yi Nan. The thief who had called other a thief.

Lin Chang Lu stayed rooted on her place, the color of her face switched to pale white, not an impressive scene to be watch. She couldn't believe her eyes but what she couldn't believe? The truth was out now in the open! She felt her body grew numb and her feet took steps behind. Fan Gang who had been standing bellow the stage panicked and ran over to help Lin Chang Lu. But when his hand touched, Lin Chang Lu harshly slapped his hand away in anger. She didn't want to be pitied!

"T-This is not what it seems!" Zhu Yi Nan yelled, his body turned to the judges and all the guests. "I must have been trapped. That day I only came to take my belonging!" he defended.

"Belonging." Xiao Yun repeated. "If you are taking your belonging mind if I ask why do you have to sneak and went to Huan Jing's office?"

"Because he stole the designs from me!" he shouted.

"Mr. Zhu, do you mean you created your designs in Huan Jing's private officeand even make the dress in his office. I am far more capable to have two separate office." Xiao Yun confronted. Each time she spoke, people sided to her.

"That one was also stolen!" Zhu Yi Nan than walk to the dress and shouted, "This is mine and all this designs are mine!"

Xiao Yun gave a sigh, "Do you still have to insist, Mr. Zhu?" Xiao Yun asked and she walked away from the place to bring the last dress. "For example this two dress. I believe the judges also know how different these two are." The judges look at each other with a nod. The two have similar designs but it was clear which was better.

"And this video is enough proof, Mr. Zhu, if you claim the dress is your design, you could see that in the back of the dress there is a symbol. It is a trademark created by Huan Jing to his pieces." The judges nodded this was enough to show who was right and who had been lying with deceptions the entire time. The female judge went to check the rest of the outfits and to see there was indeed a small symbol created that match with Chuan Huan Jing's design while other dresses in Zhu Yi Nian bears no similar symbol.
