“Ridiculous!” Ye Ling started war one-sidedly without any warning. “I have quite a good understanding with regards to Miss Shen’s works. I like your Garden of Eden the most. Those who know me well will know that my cufflinks are all Garden of Eden. What is different is that opal is used for my Garden of Eden, which conforms to the original material of this piece of work the most. But yours is not. Three years ago, you became famous overnight in Paris, and the name of your work was called Enemy. It was an amethyst lapel. In December the same year, during the design competition in Berlin, your work which was called the Back Garden was a very exquisite necklace. The Garden of Eden, Eve’s Heart, Forever Lovers, and The Encounter were works which were very well done by you. With regards to your works, I love and understand them very well. Hence, I know naturally that your performance is not very stable. There are some works which are like the entry level designers and some works which are of mediocre quality.”
Every time Ye Ling said a sentence, the audience was quiet for a minute. Nobody knew what he wanted to do.
“Every field has its master, and as a designer, there are low periods as well as peak periods. The tracks are traceable, but not for you. In every competition, you are able to perform well. The only objective for me to come and participate in this round of jewelry design competition is to ask you this.”
“Miss Shen Lin, do your works all come from you?”
Complete silence among all the audience!
Shen Lin was practically looking at Ye Ling in horror. Shen Xiong, Fang Xia, and Shen Qianshu, who knew the details very well, were all shocked.
This was a secret deal. Shen Qianshu had made a vow, and it would rot in her stomach in her lifetime. Tong Hua heard it as he was in the hospital at that time, and it was unavoidable. She had not even told Lin Xiaojuan at this moment in time.
Shen Xiong and Fang Xia would not be foolish enough to tell other people.
Shen Lin’s heartbeat was practically coming out of her chest. It was the first time she had encountered such a sharp accusation.
Yun An gave a deep smile, and the tone of his voice made it seem like he was venting out. “Finally someone has asked the question which has bothered me for many years.”
Shen Qianshu raised an eyebrow. It was said that Yun An usually did not concern himself with matters and did not care about fame and fortune. Why did it sound like there was some resentment in his tone of voice? He was not a designer, and Shen Lin and he were in two branches.
The emcee realized that the matter had gotten out of hand and hurriedly resolved it. “Master Ye, this… this question I’m afraid it is not appropriate. There is no evidence for the accusation. This is defamation.”
“Have you studied law? Do you know what defamation is? As a judge, this is a reasonable question.” Ye Ling’s looked at Shen Lin coldly. “Miss Shen Lin, you have not answered me!”
“Yes, of course, they come from me!”
Ye Ling gave a cold laugh. “Seven years ago, I had a gifted good student. She had a book of design collections, but the designs were childish and weak. After giving my advice, there was a complete change. When she was studying in university, she joined the various big and small jewelry design competitions in Paris 11 times—two times in Morocco jewelry association competitions, one round of TTF diamond concept competition, and six times in colored jewelry concept competitions. She had received awards 13 times. As the competition’s regulation was for newcomers, she had changed her identity each time she joined the competition. Her objective was to win the attractive prizes to pay for her fees for studying abroad and her silly son’s medical fees. On the other hand, Miss Shen Lin had joined a few jewelry competitions during her university. Her works were unbearable to look at, and she had never gotten any consolation prize. Four years ago, my student suddenly had a career change, and in the same year, Miss Shen became famous overnight in the Paris jewelry competition. Your work was very familiar to me. You became famous, but the small number of works which had made people mesmerized had carried the style of my student in some ways. I have reasons to suspect whether you have plagiarized!”
