Chapter 41 -41: You Can’t Afford It!
“Xiao Meng won’t change, let Lin Xue change,” Jiang Zhe finally spoke up.
Her tone was calm, but it immediately infuriated Lin Xue. Dissatisfied, Lin Xue said, “Shouldn’t it be you who change? I’m wearing the genuine article!”
Xun Liya was also very dissatisfied with Jiang Zhe’s attitude, “Classmate, it’s no problem that you wear imitations, after all, you’re students, I can understand that. But wearing imitations and still being so arrogant about it, that’s your fault!”
The reporters had not yet dispersed and gathered around when they heard something happening on Lin Xue’s side.
Tan Lu immediately described the incident in vivid detail, “We provided our own clothes and asked the student wearing the imitation to change; this request isn’t too much, right?”
“It’s not too much; the excessive ones are the people wearing the imitations!”

“Exactly. How could they do this?”
“It’s no big deal to wear imitations normally, but on this occasion, deliberately wearing an imitation to match Lin Xue’s outfit, isn’t that just trying to ride on Lin Xue’s popularity?”
“That’s too scheming, they just have to cling on to Lin Xue’s popularity, don’t they?”
The murmurs among the crowd grew louder and louder.
Jiang Fanyue and Lin Xue didn’t need to speak up themselves; others naturally began criticizing Xiao Meng and Jiang Zhe on their behalf.
Fen Ye whispered, “Jingchen, I’ll go handle this.”
“No need,” Qin Jingchen stopped him.
Since Jiang Zhe spoke up, he believed she had her reasons.
Even if by any chance Jiang Zhe didn’t have a reason, he could end this farce at any moment, if he wished.
Xiao Meng, seeing the situation escalate, said, “Xiaozhe, maybe I should just go and change…”
“That’s more like it!” Xun Liya folded her arms.
This incident today was perfect for promoting her new line of clothes.
That little bit of guilt she felt earlier quickly dissipated.
“You don’t need to change,” Jiang Zhe told her, then stepped forward and spoke indifferently, “It was you who said it, right? The person wearing the imitation should change, correct?”
As she spoke, the previously noisy reporters stopped their discussions and looked towards her.
The reporters replied, “Of course, the person wearing the imitation has no grounds.”
Tan Lu followed, “Exactly, and it’s not even certain if they are imitations. Maybe Jiang Zhe and Xiao Meng stole designer Xun’s work and had these clothes imitated outside.”
When she said that, Jiang Fanyue remembered that Jiang Yunxuan had privately met with Jiang Zhe.
Jiang Yunxuan has always been close to Jiang Zhe; it wasn’t guaranteed that he wouldn’t do such a thing for her.
Just last time, she saw Jiang Zhe go to Jiang Yunxuan, and Jiang Yunxuan gave her something.
Perhaps it was then that Jiang Zhe took the opportunity to get her hands on this design and deliberately dressed Xiao Meng in it today.
She was a bit angry, “Jiang Zhe, why did you steal sister Xun’s design to have this outfit made for Xiao Meng? Now, you owe everyone an explanation, and Xiao Meng should immediately change out of this outfit!”
After Jiang Fanyue said this, Lin Xue’s attitude towards Jiang Zhe worsened — so it was Jiang Zhe doing it on purpose!
She had heard long ago that Jiang Zhe had a bad reputation, but it was only after meeting her personally that she realized things were this bad!
Jiang Zhe was still nonchalant, chewing gum, her attitude causing the people around her to have an even worse impression of her.
She had thought that a good-looking person would at least have a better temperament, but she hadn’t expected this!
Finally, Jiang Zhe spoke slowly, “The piece on Xiao Meng is from the domestic major brand Joy’s new collection. It was released before yours. Are you suggesting that Joy plagiarized you, your design drafts?”
Lin Xue immediately retorted, “Impossible! Joy is a well-known domestic brand, and I haven’t seen this model released at all.”
“Because this is an unreleased new model,” Jiang Zhe replied indifferently.
Lin Xue laughed incredulously, “What kind of joke is this? I couldn’t even borrow Joy’s unreleased designs, only top domestic celebrities can. Who do you think you are to be able to borrow them?”
Xun Liya also found it amusing, “I thought you were going to make some reasonable arguments. This kind of talk, are you trying to fool a three-year-old?”
The journalists also laughed along.
“Is that so, let Chi Feng tell you then,” she said.
At the mention of Jiang Zhe’s words, everyone laughed even more. Chi Feng was both the president and the PR director of Joy. He was very protective of his clothing brand, and why would he lend out clothes for no reason to some unknown high school students?
Could it be that Jiang Zhe saw Chi Feng’s name in some magazine and was just showing off?
Lin Xue’s manager, who had been silent up till now, stepped forward, “Alright then, I’ll just call President Chi directly and ask him, since I have his number.”
Qin Jingchen glanced at Jiang Zhe. Her gaze was indifferent, and her expression remained unchanged, calm as if she were an unfeeling machine.
Lin Xue’s manager’s words did not cause her any ripple of emotion.
Jiang Zhang and Liang Jinlan noticed that Jiang Fanyue hadn’t gone in yet, and they went out with Gu Jiaheng to look for her.
When Gu Jiaheng came out, his eyes fell on Jiang Zhe and the man beside her, sizing them up.
Caught by Qin Jingchen’s inadvertent look, Gu Jiaheng subconsciously avoided his gaze, feeling an inexplicable sense of dread.
Liang Jinlan felt somewhat troubled by the scene before her, “Why is it Jiang Zhe again? Jiang Zhe, I suggest you quickly get your friend to change clothes. If you delay the piano competition, you can’t afford it!”
Gu Jiaheng already had someone bring a set of clothing over. He handed it to Jiang Zhe, “Take it.”
Jiang Zhang was also somewhat speechless about his eldest daughter. What an occasion was tonight for her to be causing such a fuss?
“Jiang Zhe!” Jiang Zhang could not help but lose his temper, “Aren’t you going to apologize to Fanyue right away?”
Lin Xue’s manager said indifferently, “Maybe this classmate Jiang wants Chi Feng to come and slap her face in person. After all, there aren’t many people who have made President Chi this angry!”
Thinking of the rage that came over the phone when Chi Feng heard about the counterfeit clothing, Lin Xue’s manager felt somewhat sorry for Jiang Zhe. High school students simply don’t understand the consequences!
“Jiang Zhe!” Jiang Zhang saw Jiang Zhe chewing gum, her face indifferent, and he was truly getting angry.
He was about to step forward to scold Jiang Zhe when he saw a tall and handsome man with a prominent nose and deep eyes step in front of her, shielding her with his frame, the meaning couldn’t be clearer—whoever it was, he wouldn’t let them touch Jiang Zhe!
Thinking that this might be the boyfriend Jiang Zhe had found, Jiang Zhang got even angrier. She was so young, and right at the critical moment of her senior year, what was she doing getting involved in all these things!
But faced with this man, all the discontent that filled Jiang Zhang’s belly was somehow stuck, and he found himself unable to voice it.
The man stood calmly and silently confronting Jiang Zhang, without a sound, yet bearing down like Mount Tai.
