My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 433: Chapter 433 – Li Wenjun’s Suicide Performance (Second Update)

The next afternoon.

Yin Qin accompanied Ji Baixin to the actors’ training base.

Because the performance was tomorrow, they asked all the actors to relax their emotions after a week of tension. The way to relax was to try on their costumes.

Trying on costumes was truly exciting for them.

Who wouldn’t want to look beautiful on stage?

Yin Qin watched as Ji Baixin and her team helped everyone try on their clothes, diligently documenting every minor detail that needed to be adjusted. He looked very serious.

He also found himself getting lost in the scene.

In his life, he had never seen Ji Baixin so calm in his presence.

Whenever he was around before, she would repel him as if possessed.

He just stayed quietly by her side.

After such a long period of busyness, all he needed to do was wait for the live broadcast tomorrow night.

He had pretty much done everything that was needed.

This included promoting the event. Now, in Beixia Country, the only people who didn’t know about the “Hall of Heaven” talent show were either too old or too young!

With such high attention, even if everyone was just curious, the ratings would undoubtedly double.

The promotion had reached this level, now it was down to whether this episode could truly attract the audience.

If it failed, no amount of hype would help boost viewership in the future.

He was lost in thought again.

Ji Baixin turned her head and saw that Yin Qin was lost in his thoughts.

A sense of uncontrollable loss welled up in her heart.

In her memory, whenever Yin Qin was with her, he would never zone out. His gaze would always be fixed on her. But now, although he was looking in her direction, his eyes were not on her.

She pursed her lips and continued her work.

Meanwhile.

The temporary workshop at the training base was abruptly pushed open.

A designer from Ji Baixin’s studio, Zhang Wan, ran excitedly towards Ji Baixin and whispered something into her ear.

Her face turned pale.

Yin Qin snapped back to reality, seeing Ji Baixin’s expression, he sensed that something had happened.

He hurried over, “What happened?”

Ji Baixin gritted her teeth, not hiding her anger.

“What’s wrong?” Yin Qin asked impatiently.

Ji Baixin put down her work and walked out of the room.

Yin Qin quickly followed.

Ji Baixin started to jog out.

Yin Qin caught up with big strides.

Ji Baixin got into her car and was about to drive off.

Yin Qin directly opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

Yin Qin grabbed Ji Baixin’s hand, “What on earth is wrong with you!”

His tone was serious, you could tell he was upset, his voice a bit too loud, he was clearly emotional.

JI Baixin looked at Yin Qin with wide eyes.

Her eyes instantly turned red, really red.

She bit her lip until it turned white, trying her best not to cry.

When had Yin Qin ever seen Ji Baixin looking so aggrieved in front of him? Wasn’t she always strong and regal in front of him? He regretted acting so rash and so angry earlier and softened his voice, “What’s wrong with you? You have me worried.”

Ji Baixin’s throat bobbed.

She watched as Yin Qin released her hand.

He said, “If you have things to attend to, you should go first.”

With that, he opened the door to get out of the car.

“Li Wenjun stole my design sketches.” Ji Baixin suddenly spoke up.

Yin Qin froze.

“Just now my colleague told me that Li Wenjun is hosting his personal exhibition show in Jin City’s World Trade Tower. All the clothes on the show are similar to my design this time, even the theme is ‘friendship’.”

Yin Qin’s face turned ugly instantly.

“I want to go take a look.” Ji Baixin was frank.

“Do you need me to accompany you?” Yin Qin asked.

Ji Baixin hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily.

“I’ll drive.” Yin Qin decided instantly.

Ji Baixin moved to the passenger’s seat.

Yin Qin climbed into the driver’s seat.

He said, “Buckle up.”

Ji Baixin nodded.

At that moment, she watched Yin Qin step on the gas and quickly merge onto the highway.

Ji Baixin had always regarded Yin Qin’s flamboyant behaviours with disdain and thought speeding was just showing off. However, at this moment, she suddenly felt that Yin Qin was very manly.

He looked serious as he drove, the car sped along.

What should have been a twenty-minute drive, he had them at the entrance to the World Trade Tower in less than ten minutes.

It was a no parking zone in front of the entrance.

Despite the security staff’s objections, Yin Qin ignored them, got out of the car, and quickly entered a high-end private exhibition hall in the World Trade Tower with Ji Baixin.

As they pushed open the main door of the venue.

The inside was dark, except for the dazzling lights on the runway.

The models were moving back and forth to the rhythm of the music on the runway, the sound of camera shutters filled the venue. It was filled with many big names from the fashion industry and some popular stars. Everyone appeared to be satisfied with the show, continually nodding their heads.

Yin Qin held Ji Baixin’s hand.

Because it was dark inside, he was afraid Ji Baixin might trip.

Ji Baixin could feel the warmth of Yin Qin’s palm, it was warm, very warm.

Her heart was fluttering slightly. But at this moment, all her emotions and anger were directed at the stage. Her designs!

Those were all her designs.

They had reached the runway.

At that moment, the music stopped.

All the models left after taking a bow.

Simultaneously, dressed in a high-end blue suit and a red tie, Li Wenjun appeared at the end of the runway and quickly walked towards the front.

Applause echoed throughout the venue.

At the moment, Li Wenjun, holding the microphone and was about to speak, he saw Yin Qin and Ji Baixin standing there.

He paused for a second.

Astonishingly, he saw Yin Qin vault onto the stage with a nimbleness, standing next to him.

The auditorium suddenly fell into complete silence, everyone watching the unexpectedly appeared Yin Qin.

Li Wenjun looked straight at Yin Qin.

Yin Qin smiled, “What, not welcoming me to watch your show?”

“You jest, Mr. Yin,” said, Li Wenjun, acting courteous. He seemed rather refined through his scholarly glasses. He responded, “Of course I am happy to see you. I had just heard that you have been busy with the ‘Heaven’s Hall’ program. Handling countless affairs daily, how would you find the time to watch my show?”

“But your allure was strong enough to attract me here. Who knew, the theme of your fashion show matches so perfectly with the one in my program tomorrow evening!” Yin Qin said, “Such coincidences do exist in the world, so I thought I would come and see.”

Upon hearing him saying this, there were whispers among the audience.

Of course, they knew what Yin Qin was implying.

Was it a coincidence or plagiarism?!

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the people on the stage.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about?” Li Wenjun even chuckled, “What do you mean your program fashion matches my show? Didn’t you unjustifiably dismiss me from my role as a designer?”

“So you’re using someone else’s designs to enhance your image?!”

“I truly do not understand what you’re talking about!”

“Whether you claim to know it or not, you’re very well aware,” Yin Qin stared at Li Wenjun, “I’m just here to remind you, deceit doesn’t get you far. Consider this fashion show as a courtesy from my dear Baixin, something for parting ways after all these years of companionship! Now, carry on your performance!”

With these words, Yin Qin abruptly jumped off the stage.

He called Ji Baixin and said, “Let’s go.”

Ji Baixin gritted her teeth.

“Let’s go.” Yin Qin’s voice became stern.

Ji Baixin couldn’t bear to leave.

She was dragged away by Yin Qin.

They had come unapologetically and now they left in the same manner.

Li Wenjun’s face immediately darkened.

In front of many people, he would naturally not quarrel with Yin Qin. Yin Qin was famously unafraid of causing a scene, but he was different, he had a reputation to uphold.

However, Yin Qin’s speech from before could easily incite misunderstanding.

No matter what, people would discuss him.

Even if there was no evidence.

He narrowed his eyes; of course, he would not simply accept being framed. He had already prepared the press. He had long known that Yin Qin would come to confront him for Ji Baixin. But he didn’t expect that all Yin Qin would do was utter a few words. He had imagined Yin Qin causing a ruckus, which would lead the media towards sympathizing towards him!

No matter what, he would discredit Yin Qin, no doubt about it!

Yin Qin left with Ji Baixin.

They left the meeting venue.

Ji Baixin suddenly broke free from Yin Qin, anger displayed on her face.

Ji Baixin spoke, “Yin Qin, is this how it is? Just surrendering my designs like that. It happened last time and now again! Have you ever considered me? Every design for every designer is as important as their child! Would you give your child to someone else?!”

“I won’t! But can you prove that the design is yours?” Yin Qin’s expression was very stern, “Ranting and raving on the stage only tarnishes your own identity! What if Li Wenjun accuses you of being jealous of his success? How can you prove that the design is yours!”

“Everyone in my studio team knows!”

“Would people believe the words of your studio team?!”

Ji Baixin stared coldly at Yin Qin.

“I’ll call the police, I’ll get the police involved in the investigation. ”

“Can the police really investigate it clearly? If he dares to steal your design, he must be prepared! Do you really think justice prevails in everyone’s hearts?!” Yin Qin said with gritted teeth, “Ji Baixin, this is reality, sometimes you just have to endure grievances.”

“What if I don’t!”

“Then you would face a worse outcome!” Yin Qin emphasised each word!

Ji Baixin’s eyes were red.

In the end, Yin Qin couldn’t bear to see her pain, he told her, “Trust me, I will not let Li Wenjun remain arrogant like this.”

Ji Baixin pursed her lips.

“Let’s leave now and deal with the problem we are going to face tomorrow night.” Yin Qin’s voice softened significantly.

Ji Baixin said, “I have no confidence that I can redesign in such a short time, it’s hard for me to calm my mind to do this.”

“I will accompany you,” said Yin Qin, “even if it’s an all-nighter, I will stay with you.”

Ji Baixin looked at him.

“Today I saw your designs, and they gave me some thoughts. Don’t be surprised, but I’ve also secretly studied design for a while because you were studying it. I was once ridiculed by my older brother, but thankfully, now it seems to have some practical use.” Yin Qin laughed.

Ji Baixin did not believe him.

“It’s true,” Yin Qin affirmed again.

Ji Baixin hesitated and then nodded.

The two of them went back to their car.

Yin Qin started driving towards Ji Baixin’s studio.

Ji Baixin made a call to her team who were mostly still at the training base.

Yin Qin suggested, “Let’s keep things to just the two of us tonight, we should exclude the others.”

Ji Baixin, holding her phone, hesitated.

“Have you ever wondered how your design fell into Li Wenjun’s hands?” Yin Qin asked.

Ji Baixin hesitated, “You mean there’s a mole?”

“What else could it be?”

Ji Baixin hadn’t thought about it that much.

She hadn’t thought about it at all, Yin Qin had considered so many things in such a short span.

She always thought that Yin Qin was carefree and couldn’t handle anything.

In the past… it was her who was foolish.

“But now is not the time for us to inquire about these things, let’s get through this program, then deal with exposing the traitor!” Yin Qin said, keeping it simple.

“I know, I was too emotional just now.” Being repeatedly subjected to such by Li Wenjun, she was not calm.

Everything Yin Qin just said, every word, was correct.

Ji Baixin informed her co-workers over the phone that they can head home.

In Ji Baixin’s studio, there were only Yin Qin and Ji Baixin.

The two of them promptly started working without wasting a minute.

Ji Baixin started sketching designs.

Yin Qin sat next to her, watching her sketch.

Yin Qin voiced out, “Friendship, in reality, can’t be interpreted by a single color. To you, friendship might be blue, but to me, it’s multicolored. Friendship and familial love aren’t the same, friendship has much more choice, unlike familial love which remains fixed and exclusive. I think you can try, rainbow colors!”
