Gu Lan's ugly face had darkened completely, and Hu Fei remained frozen, not coming back to her senses until after the winning entry was announced as the Heart of Atlantis.

It was as if at the first sight of it, the superiority had been finalized in the minds of the crowd.

What stung Gu Lan even more was still Su Qinglan and Sun Xi, who were now enjoying the crowd's bragging rights.

This honor, it should have been hers.

These bitches, one by two, are going against her.

Her lungs exploded with anger, but that wasn't all.

Before the designer's speech, Su Qinglan pulled Sun Xi over and gently held on to her hand, "Cheer up, you can do it. We've paid so much, and now is your chance to wipe the slate clean."

"Uh-huh!" Sun Xi nodded vigorously, this was the first time in so many years that she was able to take the stage with her own design winning the title.

If it wasn't for Su Qinglan, she would have to continue to live under the shadow of that evil man and never get back what belonged to her.

"Thank you." She moved her lips, turned her head and walked onto the stage with her head held high.

Under the gaze of the crowd, she adjusted the angle of the microphone and smiled slightly, "I'm very happy to be favored by all the judges, and I'm also very grateful to my team for allowing me to stand on this stage, behind this work, there are many untold, or even can be said to be unseen stories."

With her highly suggestive words, those who had done something wrong had naturally messed up.

But Gu Lan is still betting.

She looked gloomy and kept warning Sun Xi on the stage with her eyes, and even the organizer was a bit surprised when he watched the eye contact between them.

But for this, Sun Xi just drifted away.

Her design goods could not tolerate being tarnished any longer, and when she finished speaking about her design philosophy, thunderous applause broke out.

Until the applause ended, she didn't have the intention to get off the stage, instead, she bent her eyes and gave Gu Lan a meaningful look, "In fact, for me to be able to have today, I also have to thank one person in particular, and that's Ms. Gu Lan Gu."

Although the crowd's eyes were gathered over, Gu Lan did not enjoy it, she did not understand what Sun Xi was up to.

Sun Xi stood on the stage with the spotlight all over her, now she was in the light while Gu Lan sat in the darkness.

"There was a time when I was a flash in the pan, but after that I had to turn down all sorts of good and capable companies, and all of this is still thanks to Ms. Gu Lan for hiding me in the dark."

"She especially admired my work, admired it enough to want to possess it, even putting her name on it to keep it for herself until graduation three years later. I had thought I had finally honed in enough to see the light of day, but I didn't realize that she was still blackmailing me with her dirty tricks, yet had the good heart to use what was taken from me for charity, fame and fortune."

Every word of her words was like a needle, stabbing Gu Lan to the edge of his seat, and his face had grimaced to the point of distortion, his veins vaguely about to burst.

The big screen had begun to loop those released under Gu Lan's name, the original drafts of Sun Xi's designs.

Sun Xi looked down at her with a mixture of mockery and contempt in his eyes.

Five years hadn't kept her path dark, but now was the end of the road that made Gu Lan worse than dead.

"Even so, I'm very grateful to Ms. Gu, if it wasn't for her grinding, I wouldn't have been able to achieve what I have now. I hope you all can I send her a round of applause for taking my work and selling it at a high price, and letting me know that I'm getting better all the time."

With the facts in front of us, who wouldn't want to see a joke, especially one from a woman who is so high up that she is actually a thief.

Applause once again, so what if she was a Gu, everyone applauded, the law was not against it.

The evil anger in Sun Xi's heart had already come out when she saw Gu Lan on the verge of crying out, but that look of readiness to sell her misery still caused her a wave of nausea.

Before she stepped off the stage, she also threw down a sentence, "Gu Lan, I won't bother with you, who told you to have the protection of a mental patient as an . umbrella."

That's déjà vu all over again.

It left both Gu Jinchi and Gu Lan stunned.

These were words that Su Qinglan had once said out with red eyes.

Sun Xi returned to Su Qinglan's side, like a newborn, she tightly gave Su Qinglan a hug and even kept saying thank you in her ear.

"I really thank you, without you, I wouldn't be where I am today, maybe I wouldn't have dared to defy her for the rest of my life, maybe I'd still be in her shadow now."

Su Qinglan just tenderly stroked her back and softly replied back; "We are friends, this is what should be done, in a moment when we face the media, there will be times when she will look even worse."

"You did good."

The last sentence was something she purposely asked Sun Xi to say that way, in order to evoke the shadows in Gu Lan and Gu Jin Chi's hearts.

After all, not many people knew that Gu Lan had mental illness as a cover.

"Well, there's no place for me anymore, Mr. Ren has already booked a private room, we must celebrate tonight." Ji Qing Yue looked at the two of them and skimmed her mouth a bit jealously, pulling Su Qing Lan and Sun Xi and left.

By the time Gu Jinchi tried to look for them again, there was no trace of them.

Gu Lan's violent forcing of the fruits of other people's labor had already caused a media sensation, with shutters and flashes flashing frequently, threatening to blind her.

"Ms. Gu Lan, what she said just now is all true right, in the face of those evidences may I ask if you have anything else to say?"

"We've just received the source files of all the designs, I wonder how you plan to explain it, Ms. Gu Lan?"

"May I ask if you will consider apologizing to Ms. Sun for acting in such a bad manner?"

The aggressive questions made Gu Lan feel the despair of the sky collapsing, she frantically pushed and shoved the people and the camera that was filming, and her eyes searched for Gu Jin Chi's figure but she didn't find anything either.

She fumed and hissed at the crowd, "Get out! Get out of here, all of you!"

But with Sun Xi's words of flirting with her nerves in the first place, it created a new topic for the media.

"May I ask if your neurosis is real, or was it disguised by early foresight to evade the law?"

The malicious question was asked until the end, and even Su Qinglan, who had already stepped out of the arena, seemed to have heard Gu Lan's vaguely miserable screams.

"I suppose it's right to say she's mentally ill, where would a normal person be able to move so much."

Ji Qing Yue watched Su Qing Lan take off her disguise to reveal a smile, and couldn't help but add to the fire by teasing.

"But if you're sick, you should be brought up in a hospital, why come out and embarrass yourself."

Sun Xi did not have any knowledge about their previous affairs, so she looked a bit confused at the moment, "Miss Su, may I ask what kind of friction there was between you and Gu Lan?"

"Have you heard that Gu Jinchi has a son?" Since she had told her the real name, there was no need to hide some things.

This matter is already well known, Sun Xi nodded, "I've heard of it, it seems to be called Su something ... you, you should not?"

Sun Xi's eyes widened as if he had dug up some shocking news.

"Uh-huh." Su Qinglan answered.

Sun Xi was heard to lament incredulously, "So you're that person's sister or younger sister? I heard that Gu Jinchi's ex-wife died in an accident."

These words immediately caused Ji Qing Yue and Su Qing Lan to choke and dry cough several times.

Su Qinglan helplessly glanced at Ji Qingyue, signaling to let her explain.

She compared an OK gesture and turned back to look sympathetic, "It's okay to drink more six nukes to replenish your brain, she is Su Qinglan, Gu Jinchi's ex-wife, alive and well. But this matter is a secret, I hope you can keep it a secret."

"Or else ...," she threatened, gesturing with her hand to her neck.

Sun Xi nodded repeatedly and quickly digested the news, "Then in that case I understand why you, Miss Su, have such deep animosity towards Gu Jin Chi."

"Yes?" Su Qinglan was puzzled.

"Yes." Sun Xi and Ji Qingyue responded almost in unison.

That, she hadn't really felt.

But no one else should be able to let it go.

Leaving the venue they drove directly to the place where Ren Lord had booked, and as soon as they saw Ren Lord, he came to question her in a huff, "Why didn't you solve it when I just called you?"

"Rushed coincidence, plot needs." Su Qinglan innocently shrugged her shoulders, if she had picked it up at that time, I'm afraid the organizer's side would have had a heart attack.

"And what about that one hundred and twenty million dollar remittance the company just made?" He continued to pursue the question.

"This is a long story." Su Qinglan explained today's plan to him as he walked.

This bureau was set up from the time the spy was captured, first letting the other party let their guard down, and then making Gu Lan think she was fooled when she attended, and in a desperate attempt letting someone steal the flawed item she purposely allowed Ji Qing Yue to bring over to destroy it, she wouldn't have taken the risk without doing so.

Taking this opportunity, she could also blackmail the other party for 120 million dollars with a design that wasn't marketed at a very high market price for a tryout, and at the end of the day, let Gu Lan feel the feeling of having her hopes dashed over and over again.

The organizers, who lost 120 million dollars, will naturally pursue the matter of the destruction of the work for them without any effort.

Heavy charges were pressed on Gu Lan, and this dismount could only be considered a small gift from her to Gu Lan.

But Ji Qingyue, who heard her repeat the plan on the way, froze, "You'll go to jail for extorting so much."

"Don't worry, the real thing, there is no problem on top of the quality. After all, it's something that was destroyed, a little problem is all considered a thief's crime." Su Qinglan shrugged her shoulders in disbelief.

"This money, I guess they'll also ask for it back on Gu Lan's or the Spirit Movement Group's side, if the Spirit Movement Group still has money now."

"What do you mean?" Ji Qingyue wondered.

"There's nothing to be gained by Spiritual Movement working with Gu, and since Gu has already opened another subsidiary, it's obvious that he wants to take advantage of Spiritual Movement. Hu Fei is also desperate, so he would be stupid enough to work with Gu Lan." She snorted in explanation, raising an eyebrow in the process and breaking her fingers to count for her.

"Add to that the whole playing commercial espionage thing, and guess how much they're going to have to compensate us."

Tough or she's tough.
