Nothing proves the truth better than genuine strength.
All the audience, judges, and people in front of the TV were shocked when they saw the final masterpiece. They understood, and there was no suspense about who the true designer of the original manuscript was.
“This is the true perfection of this work,” the judges couldn’t help but exclaim.
If Lu Jinwen’s work had been stunning and praiseworthy before, the completed piece by the young man was the true perfection, attracting people not only with amazement but also from the depths of their hearts with the dazzling rings in front of them.
No wonder, no wonder everyone felt that something was missing from Lu Jinwen’s finished product earlier; this was the key to the rings.
Inside the rings was not a diamond, nor did it represent a love ingrained in the bones. It was the everlasting starlight, the true expression of enduring love.
Lu Jinwen shook her head in excitement, and in a last-ditch effort, she cried on stage. Her hoarse voice accused, and her posture as the wronged victim was more powerful than that of a top-notch actor.
Even with the facts right in front of them, it was still difficult not to sympathize.
“He can design such an excellent work!”
At this moment, Yan Junfeng finally walked up from below the stage. He held a stack of drawings and placed them in front of the judges.
“Although Jiang Zichen is my younger brother, I can vouch for every word I’m about to say with my integrity and the reputation of the Yan Group.
“Mr. Yan, he’s your brother, of course, you’d speak up for him!” Lu Jinwen was a bit panicked, losing her composure. She didn’t know what Yan Junfeng had shown the judges, but her keen senses felt it wasn’t favorable for her.
“Lu Jinwen, I shouldn’t have agreed to let you stay at the Yan family back then. Xiao Chen doesn’t need your bone marrow, and you… don’t deserve it.”
Yan Junfeng stared at Lu Jinwen with eyes gleaming like sharp blades, pointing at the drawings the judges were examining.
“Xiao Chen possesses unparalleled talent. No one can surpass him. Not only can he design outstanding works like ‘Starlight,’ but he also has many amazing masterpieces.”
“These are the jewelry series released by the Yan family in the past year, each a masterpiece comparable to a master’s work. I believe the judges here should know that those are all the work of our Yan family’s designer, CHEN.”
Yan Junfeng’s final words carried a slight choked-up tone. He looked at the young man protected in the arms of another man, feeling as if his heart had been crushed into mud.
He never expected the truth to be like this.
No wonder he always felt familiar with CHEN…
No wonder CHEN didn’t want any reward and wholeheartedly helped him…
No wonder CHEN would get upset when Xiao Chen was unhappy…
No wonder… CHEN would speak up for Xiao Chen and refuse to see him. His indifference toward Xiao Chen would make CHEN disappear.
Everything from his previous life resurfaced. Yan Junfeng felt an unspeakable pain in his heart. His mistrust and coldness were like a sword that had harmed Xiao Chen deeply.
Xiao Chen’s obedience, Xiao Chen’s compliance, Xiao Chen’s talent—all wiped away by them.
He had pushed everything into the abyss with his own hands. He had no right to regret; he was too foolish…
Yan Junfeng’s words were like a massive bomb dropped into the sea, causing layer upon layer of huge waves. Everyone was boiling.
“He said what? Jiang Zichen is CHEN from Yan’s ‘Smile Series’? Hailed as the brightest new star in the jewelry industry!”
“Oh my God, is this true? Jiang Zichen is actually CHEN? Ah ah ah, CHEN is my idol!”
“Oh, Jiang Zichen, are you really CHEN?”
The judges on the judging panel couldn’t help but stand up, casting eager eyes towards Su Jingxuan. A seventeen-year-old genius, a seventeen-year-old design master—he wasn’t just a new star in the jewelry industry; he was the future king of the jewelry world!
“No, it’s impossible, you’re lying. How could this be, how could this be…” Lu Jinwen shook her head in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that such a genius could exist in the world. It couldn’t be possible.
“Nothing is impossible.”
Mo Chen gently pulled Su Jingxuan into his arms, staring at Lu Jinwen with a cold gaze, and gestured to the people in the control room.
In an instant, the screen on the stage changed, and a video recording of a villa program immediately appeared. In the footage, Lu Jinwen was caught sneaking into Su Jingxuan’s room at night, taking advantage of the dead angle and spare time of the camera to steal the shirt with the sketch.
The entire venue erupted in astonishment, and the barrage once again dominated the online screens.
“I can’t believe it, it’s really her! So, Jiang Zichen is the real victim. I almost got fooled by her!”
“Is she the snake-hearted woman they mentioned? I actually pitied her just now, talking about participating in the competition to earn money for her father’s treatment, and her dreams and hard work, making it sound so real…”
“What the heck, can things turn out like this?”
“Guess I’m too ignorant. The purer the beauty, the more terrifying when they turn ruthless…”
“Let’s correct it—innocence isn’t to blame!”
“Beautiful women aren’t to blame either… Quickly, someone take away this hypocritical woman. It’s disgusting!”
Just a moment ago, everyone felt sorry for Lu Jinwen, and now everyone was disgusted by her.
If Lu Jinwen had succeeded today, can you imagine how Xiao Chen, facing the condemnation and anger of the entire nation, or even the world, could endure it with his current health?
Lu Jinwen was a murderer, a murderer using someone else’s knife!
People who knew the truth, whether at the venue, online, or in front of the TV, angrily shouted. The female contestant who had spoken up for Lu Jinwen just a moment ago was eager to slap Lu Jinwen in the face, then left in embarrassment and anger.
Pale-faced Lu Jinwen was eventually taken away by the police, and no one believed or sympathized with her, regardless of how she shook her head, cried, or defended herself.
“Spit! Disgusting!” “What a piece of trash!” When passing by the audience, angry spectators scolded her, threw garbage, it was too despicable, treating everyone like monkeys!
Yan Junfeng had already called the police and officially filed a lawsuit. What awaited her wasn’t just the angry scolding from all the audience fans.
The scene was chaotic, with emotional fans and spectators, but fortunately, there were enough security personnel to maintain order.
Under such circumstances, the competition could not continue. The contestants voluntarily left the stage and went back to the backstage lounge, while the judges, escorted by staff, left first. The mess was left for the organizers to handle.
Yan Junfeng had no mood to deal with it himself. He handed the matter over to his assistant and walked up to Su Jingxuan.
Looking at the familiar face that had occupied his heart for two lifetimes, the usually gentle and elegant Yan Junfeng turned into a burning and regretful emotion. “Xiao Chen… I’m sorry.”
Sorry was something he realized too late. He didn’t believe. How could he not believe in the person he loved the most? No, not loved, but loves. He loves Xiao Chen, and he only realizes it now…
Yan Junfeng’s gaze was too intense.
Although he didn’t know what Yan Junfeng meant by the apology, Su Jingxuan didn’t allow anyone to peep at his treasure. This was his lover, the treasure he had chosen at first sight.
Yan Junfeng’s powerful movements due to his possessiveness made his eyes almost turn red, and there was a sudden flicker of golden light.
No, Xiao Chen is his! Xiao Chen is his! No one can take him away!
Yan Junfeng stared at Su Jingxuan, and Su Jingxuan stared back at him.
Neither of the two men backed down, emitting a powerful aura that kept others at a distance.
He is mine!
The air around them twisted with the force of two strong powers. Yan Junfeng’s eyes became almost red, with a sudden glint of gold.
No, Xiao Chen is his! Xiao Chen is his! No one can take him away!
Yan Junfeng looked at Su Jingxuan, and Su Jingxuan looked back at him.
The two men didn’t yield, emitting a powerful aura that made people dare not approach.
He is mine!
The surrounding air twisted with the strong forces, Yan Junfeng’s eyes shone even more brightly, but blood slowly oozed from the corners of his mouth. Su Jingxuan, apart from a colder gaze, showed no signs of discomfort, evidently having the upper hand.
He didn’t speak, nor could he speak because he felt the power of the original owner surging again in his body.
Brother, Brother… The voice echoed in his mind again and again, and the power of the original owner in his body was about to burst out, making it difficult for him to control his body.
It’s the original owner! The soul of the original owner is still inside his body!
Su Jingxuan was shocked because he couldn’t control his body and couldn’t stand properly. He leaned against Su Mohan, breathing heavily, struggling to regain control of his body and pleading for help with his eyes.
Hold on!
He didn’t know the current situation, but he felt that if the soul was squeezed out of the body, he might not be able to return to the hall. If he couldn’t go back, he couldn’t see Jiang He again, and he might never meet again…
Su Mohan seemed to sense something. The overwhelming dominance immediately disappeared from his body. He lowered his head and saw Su Jingxuan’s pale face and pleading expression, instantly feeling furious.
“Grrr…”
An angry dragon roar distorted space, and the pedestrians around seemed to freeze as if prohibited from moving. A black dragon flew out of Su Mohan’s body.
“Emperor of Demons, calm down. This one has no intention of harming His Highness.”
Dressed like an immortal, Yan Junfeng hovered in the air, looking anxious and bowing respectfully to the black dragon.
