Hunting for Love for 101 Times

Chapter 91 We are both substitutes

The judges, the juries and the staff members were all puzzled for what Ye Sichen said.

Ye Sichen continued with a smile, “May I ask the plaintiff’s defense lawyer to present me Chen Qiqi’s original design work?”

Chen Qiqi’s lawyer frowned and was unwilling to cooperate with him. In the meantime, Chen Qiqi was with a guilty conscience beside her lawyer.

“Mr. Justice, I am a witness. Am I qualified to look at the original work for confirming?”

The judge expressed his approval to Ye Sichen’s words. Chen Qiqi’s defense lawyer had to present Chen Qiqi’s design draft to the prosecutor. Then the prosecutor handed it to Ye Sichen.

Holding the draft, Ye Sichen carefully observed it. Then he tore Xia Nuan’s design draft into pieces. After that, he shredded Chen Qiqi’s draft as well. In an instant, the two drafts were no longer in existence.

Everyone was shocked.

The judges and jurors were confused by Ye Sichen’s behavior. In their views, Ye Sichen was weird.

Chen Qiqi and her defense lawyer began to protest against Ye Sichen’s behavior.

The judges were also annoyed. They felt that Ye Sichen broke the trial rules and were about to ask him to get out of the court.

“Mr. Justice, I have a suggestion for you. You can ask Chen Qiqi and Xia Nuan to design the exact same costume at the same time. Then you can make a comparison between their works. It will be clear that who copied the other’s work and who created it by then. I have their original manuscript designs and I am willing to cooperate in the comparison process. Of course, I damaged the two designers’ drafts just now. I’ll pay for their losses.”

The judges and jurors were suddenly enlightened by Ye Sichen’s suggestion. They thought that although his method was strange, it was also the most effective method for identification.

After they negotiated it for fifteen minutes, they finally decided to distinguish their works according to Ye Sichen’s method, which was a precedent in the court. Chen Qiqi and her defense lawyer continued to protest against his suggestion. They said that Ye Sichen’s proposal was a foul in the court, so it could not be adopted. However, it was invalid.

The staff members felt that Ye Sichen’s suggestion was both reasonable and interesting. What’s more, they also wanted to know who was cheating.

Immediately, the court adjourned. They prepared the design drawing sheets and pencils for Xia Nuan and Chen Qiqi. After that, the two designers began to draw the original manuscripts torn by Ye Sichen.

“Every design detail should not be missed. If you created it, you must have a good impression of that design. You will not make any mistakes.” Ye Sichen reminded them slowly.

Xia Nuan had no facial expression. She drew the design with a well-regulated mind.

Chen Qiqi also drew the design confidently. However, she was a little bit worried. She had seen the design more than a dozen times and had already remembered it roughly, so, naturally, it was inked into her mind. However, as for details, she did not pay too much attention.

Thinking of this, she got cold sweaty palms. It was beyond her estimation that Ye Sichen would use this effective means to help Xia Nuan.

Chen Qiqi squinted at Xia Nuan. She wanted to see how her drawing was going, while Xia Nuan almost finished it at this time and was about to modify the details.

At the opening of the court, Chen Qiqi and Xia Nuan finished their designs completely. The works were put on a big screen simultaneously for comparison.

The styles and models of the two designs were almost exactly the same, but they were quite different in details. For example, there was a small sleeve emblem on Xia Nuan’s design, but none on Chen Qiqi’s design. It was a symbol of peace in the middle of the small sleeve emblem.

Xia Nuan’s design with the sleeve emblem and the peace sign was exactly the same as the previous one. The same clothing was released by Chen Qiqi, but she did not draw it at the court. Apart from this, there were a lot of details that were different from the previous design style.

Such a comparison was simply a public sentence to Chen Qiqi. She bowed her head embarrassedly and explained that she forgot to draw it because of nervousness.

“So, Mr. Judge, the truth is obvious.” Ye Sichen despised Chen Qiqi’s dishonest behaviors, “Chen Qiqi copied Xia Nuan’s design. Otherwise, she could remember her own inspirations. Xia Nuan’s work is the original piece. I hope all the judges can give a fair and just trial.”

After Ye Sichen finished, he left the court.

In the end, Chen Qiqi lost the lawsuit and was convicted of a false accusation. Her face turned pale at once. She asked for an out-of-court settlement immediately.

At this time, Xia Nuan suddenly came up with an idea. She asked Chen Qiqi to compensate her for the corresponding loss of sixty million yuan in total and apologize to her in public. If Chen Qiqi refused to compensate her, she shall go to jail.

As a well-known designer, of course, Chen Qiqi was not willing to be sent into prison, so she promised Xia Nuan without hesitation.

The falsely accused plagiarism case finally ended. Chen Qiqi was ashamed with guilty. After paying Xia Nuan’s loss, she secretly told Xia Nuan that it was Luo Dai’er who ordered her to do that.

Xia Nuan was shocked. She remembered that last time Luo Dai’er and Madam Ye went to the private room inside the Feicheng Arena. As Madam Ye asked her to leave, Luo Dai’er helped her to pack her luggage...

On that night, she lost her design draft, which was turned out to be taken by Luo Dai’er.

“Luo Dai’er gave me your design draft. She bought off me and asked me to do what she said... After that, there was this plagiarism affair against you. Designer Xia, I’m sorry. Please do not tell Luo Dai’er what I said to you. Luo’s family are superior and powerful in Modu City. I can’t afford to offend her. In short, I apologize to you.” After she finished, she bowed to Xia Nuan.

Hearing this, Xia Nuan said bitterly, “Okay, I will not spread the truth. I will conclude it with a conclusion.”

Luo Dai’er wanted to make her the target of public criticism and force her to leave in this way.

Luo Dai’er was Ye Sichen’s wife. What’s wrong for her to save her marriage?

Xia Nuan did not want to go behind it any more.

Getting the money, she could just make up for the fifty million in debts...

“Publicize your shameless video with Roger or divorce me peacefully? If the former occurs, you will not get a penny. If you divorce me, I will give you part of the music rights.” Ye Sichen said to her directly in the recording room.

“No, I will not divorce you!” Luo Dai’er shook her head stubbornly.

“Is it interesting to have a meaningless marriage? If you really insist on this, I have no choice but to expose the video.” Ye Sichen held something in his hand and said to her firmly.

Luo Dai’er burst into laughter suddenly, “Then expose my affair with Roger. I am not afraid of it. Even if you do that, I will not divorce you. Even if you don’t touch me for a lifetime, I will not divorce you as well. You can’t get rid of me. Do you know why? Your family needs help from my family. Your brother is still in hospital, waiting for my mother’s medicine. If you dare to divorce me, Ye Linshen will die undoubtedly.” She said it with a grim sneer.

“But your mother is unwilling to see you in jail.” Ye Sichen forced a cruel smile.

“What do you mean?” Luo Dai’er was confused. She never knew what Ye Sichen would do next.

Ye Sichen pressed the button of that thing in his hand. Then a voice came from it. It was a voice recorder.

“Luo Dai’er gave me your design draft. She bought off me and asked me to do what she said... After that, there was this plagiarism affair against you. Designer Xia, I’m sorry. Please do not tell Luo Dai’er what I said to you. Luo’s family are superior and powerful in Modu City. I can’t afford to offend her...”

It was Chen Qiqi’s voice.

Ye Sichen installed a monitor on Xia Nuan’s body. He not only had already heard their dialogue clearly, but also had recorded it secretly.

Outside, Xia Nuan stopped and covered her chest.

She came here to pay off the debts. She learned from Uncle Xiang that Ye Sichen was in the recording room. As she walked in, she heard the conversation between Luo Dai’er and Ye Sichen.

Ye Sichen must have installed a monitor on her body, otherwise why her dialogue with Chen Qiqi was recorded?

Xia Nuan suddenly felt that she was an open book to Ye Sichen. Everything she did was monitored by him.

She felt like a prisoner being monitored. Since Ye Sichen did not believe her, he monitored her.

Thinking of this, she felt sad.

Inside the recording room, Luo Dai’er burst into tears.

While Ye Sichen was as cold as ice and frost. He didn’t show any sympathy to her at all.

“You copied Xia Nuan’s design and bought-off Chen Qiqi to frame Xia Nuan. What you have done is illegal, so I can directly send you into jail. It’s just your mother would be very sad and she will definitely come over and beg me to let you go. At that time, will she not provide drugs to Linshen? Am I right?” Ye Sichen smiled faintly and his eyes were sharp like a knife.

“Ye Sichen, I hate you! I hate you the most!” Luo Dai’er shouted at him.

“Then divorce me.” Ye Sichen turned sideways with his body and put the headset on his head.

Luo Dai’er ran to him all of a sudden. She cried humbly and said that she was wrong. She promised she would never do bad things again in the future.

As Luo Dai’er was tired of crying, Ye Sichen wiped away the tears for her gently and said sharply, “Don’t hesitate to end up this marriage. It’s kind of a relief for you. Dai’er. I don’t love you.”

“You love Luo Lan. You still love her, right? I know it. You married me just because I look like her. Now, Xia Nuan is more like her than me, so you keep an intimate relationship with her!”

“Stop. It has nothing to do with Luo Lan.”

“I poke your pain, right? Ye Sichen, you are hypocritical. You have never forgotten her!”

Luo Lan, who was Luo Lan?

Xia Nuan was confused.

She was aware that Ye Sichen approached her just because she looked like a woman called Luo Lan...

Thinking of this, Xia Nuan was disappointed extremely.

She closed the door slowly and walked out of the recording room silently.

Outside Ye Sichen’s villa, Xia Nuan was talking to Uncle Xiang.

“Uncle Xiang, please do me a fever and give this card to Mr. Ye. Here is fifty-five million yuan. Fifty million yuan for the hospital Song Kuncheng established under his support, and the rest for what I owed him before. From now on, I don’t owe him any longer.”

As Wuyou and Nianci were young, she took advantage of his reputation to earn that five million yuan. She lied to him that she collected donations. In fact, she paid debts for Xia Yan.

“Why don’t you give it to him by yourself...” Before Uncle Xiang finished, Xia Nuan turned and left.

Then she saw Luo Dai’er walking out of the villa distractedly.

Seeing her desperate complexion, Xia Nuan could not help frowning.

“Hah-hah, Xia Nuan, you are just like me. We are both substitutes.” Luo Dai’er said to her scornfully. Then she got on the car and galloped away in a flash.
