Chapter 413: Dragging Old Master Qiao Out to Step On, The Qiao Family Is Furious
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
All of Song Fengwan’s drawings were in the Qiao family style. Naturally, there were many creative elements that had never been publicized. But she didn’t expect that someone would shamelessly register patents and even play the accusing game.
If this matter only involved Song Fengwan, no one would dig deeper.
She hadn’t taken out her design drawing to participate in the competition, nor had she profited from it. It was not a big deal to say that it was an imitation. But once it involved the Jade Hall of Spring, people would get to the bottom of the entire Qiao family.
Most importantly, many people dragged Old Master Qiao out to step on him.
“The Qiao family is really f*cking declining. Blatantly plagiarizing really loses the face of Old Master Qiao.”
“Didn’t the Jade Hall of Spring get accused of selling fake products last year? All the main products have always been touted as originals. Unexpectedly, this was fake. They probably didn’t expect this designer to become famous.”
“The thing about fake products has already been clarified, okay? The quality of the Jade Hall of Spring’s products has always been top-notch.”
“Ever since Old Master Qiao passed away, has there been anyone talented in the Qiao family? Has anyone won the Yuming Cup? They’ve been gnawing on old books, and when they can’t chew through them, they start plagiarizing?”
…
All kinds of comments were spreading online.
The scariest thing was that someone openly stepped on Old Master Qiao.
“I think Gao Xue’s designs are even more advanced than Old Master Qiao’s.”
“Old Master Qiao’s designs are already outdated. They’re all in the style of the last century and long outdated.”
“That’s why the Jade Hall of Spring hasn’t improved after so many years.”
…
These people directly placed Gao Xue in front of Old Master Qiao and publicly used Old Master Qiao’s reputation to hype up Gao Xue.
When Song Fengwan saw this, she was so angry that her heart hurt. After all, the whole thing had started because of her. She never expected that she would implicate her grandfather…
There were some malicious comments online that made her eyes turn red.

Actually, on the other side, Gao Xue didn’t expect that the entire matter would involve the Qiao family.
She was dumbfounded.
She had been busy with her design exhibition recently and had not gone to class. She rushed straight to the organizer’s office. “President Qi, what’s with this lawyer’s letter online?”
“We found out about this before, so we specially registered patents for your designs in advance. Your designs are original, so what are you afraid of?”
“This is the Qiao family…” Gao Xue originally wanted to use the incident at school to pressure Song Fengwan and scare her, making this little girl quiet like a chicken.
Why was even the Qiao family involved now?
This would really cause an uproar in the entire industry.
This time, she was completely famous in the industry.
She was a plagiarist to begin with, and this thing couldn’t be dug into too deeply.
“I know that this is the Qiao family, so I chose to expose the entire matter on the eve of your exhibition. You have to know how much effort we’ve put into your exhibition. This is the best way to hype it.
“I guarantee that your exhibition this time will absolutely be explosive. There will definitely be many people buying your artworks, and we will also make a killing.”
“The Jade Hall of Spring really plagiarized my…” Gao Xue was dumbfounded.
“If there’s no concrete evidence, how could we talk nonsense? We’ve already investigated it. Actually, we noticed this in July and were waiting for this moment.” The man smiled smugly.
In any industry, everyone wanted to ride on the popularity of the big shots. In this industry, the Qiao family was the cream of the crop, and Old Master Qiao was even more unreachable. To be able to take advantage of this…
It would be difficult for Gao Xue not to become famous.
“Speaking of which, the Qiao family is really in decline. They actually plagiarized. Did they think that others wouldn’t find out? How laughable. They can be your stepping stone.”
Gao Xue smiled bitterly. She returned home in a daze, her mind full of Song Fengwan and the Qiao family…
She won this award in May, and she heard that the award-winning works were mailed to the Qiao family. Is it possible…
I plagiarized Song Fengwan’s drawings, and then the Qiao family plagiarized mine?
Her mind was confused. After returning home, she entered Beijing University’s administrative system and found Song Fengwan’s personal information, planning to take a closer look.
Family: [Mother: Qiao Aiyun]
Qiao Aiyun? Qiao…
Her fingers trembled as she searched this name online.
Other than the Nanjiang Yan family, the only other related term was the Jade Hall of Spring…
Her face instantly paled, and her legs became so weak that she couldn’t stand.
Song Fengwan is…
Old Master Qiao’s granddaughter.
At this moment, she recalled the dean’s reminders to her, as well as Song Fengwan’s experienced and exquisite drawing style that resembled Old Master Qiao’s. Her mind was blank, and her consciousness was chaotic. She had only plagiarized a few works, so how could she have expected…
The organizer had actually pulled the Qiao family, who had been high in the industry, into the water.
At this moment, her entire body froze. She felt as if she was in a quagmire, and a pair of invisible hands were pulling her down. As she breathed, there was a cold chill.
Song Fengwan’s stepfather is Yan Wangchuan. He is…
Old Master Qiao’s disciple? He married his junior sister, and then…
At this moment, Gao Xue finally figured out the relationship between all the characters. She remembered that when Song Fengwan had an accident in the tutoring center, the man who had appeared had called her cousin…
Old Master Qiao only had one grandson, and he was the current young master of the Qiao family—
Qiao Xiyan.
After thinking about it carefully, she almost broke down.
What should she do? But the arrow that was her solo design exhibition was already on the bowstring, and it was already impossible to stop. She couldn’t say that she had plagiarized in front of everyone either, so she could only brace herself.
She could only hope that they couldn’t prove that all their designs were before hers. Moreover, she had the patents in hand, so they couldn’t do anything about her.
… Unless there was solid evidence.
After thinking of this, she calmed down.

Because this matter involved the Jade Hall of Spring, even Old Master Qiao was dragged out to be stepped on. Soon, the news spread to the Fu and Jing families.
Old Master Fu and Old Master Qiao were confidants and old friends. When he saw that people were stepping on him, he was furious and hurriedly got someone to get a few invitation cards for the design exhibition. He wanted to go and see who this person who boasted that her talent was better than Old Master Qiao’s was.
In an instant, the invitation cards to Gao Xue’s design exhibition became exceptionally popular.

Meanwhile, in the Chuanbei Jing residence…
Jing Hanchuan was sitting in the backyard, basking in the sun and fishing. There was a pot of tea beside him, and white steam was rising from it. He turned his head to look at the person beside him. “Such a thing happened to the Qiao family, and Miss Song was even slandered for plagiarizing. How can you still sit still?”
Fu Chen had his bracelet in hand and was reading a Buddhist scripture with a relaxed expression.
“This matter isn’t easy to deal with. They registered the patents first, and they released everything involved a long time ago. The Qiao family has already lost in public opinion.
“Do you think the Qiao family and Wanwan would plagiarize her?” Fu Chen flipped through the Buddhist scripture.
“No, the Qiao family doesn’t care about fame or fortune. They only care about their craftsmanship. Imitating products is all about making money. The Qiao family doesn’t care about these things, so there’s no reason for them to plagiarize,” Jing Hanchuan analyzed.
“The most likely possibility is that Miss Song imitated the Qiao family and was plagiarized by her. As a result, when the Qiao family released their new summer and autumn designs, she scored a direct hit on them. Because she released them beforehand, there are already preconceived notions, so people naturally think that the Qiao family copied her designs.
“Furthermore…
“Nowadays, many people feel that those seniors in the past have been held too high and can’t wait to see them fall from their pedestals.”
Fu Chen’s lips curled up.
At this moment, a Jing family member ran over with an envelope in his hand. “Sixth Master, I got an invitation.”
Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. “You’re going too?”
The two of them looked at each other. “This tone… You’re going too?”
“My parents are going. Shouldn’t I accompany them?” Fu Chen directly used his parents as a cover. Even if the two elders of the Fu family didn’t go, he would still go and check it out.
He also wanted to see how shameless this person could be.
“I’m going to join in the fun. Our family has an old friendship with the Qiao family. If someone becomes desperate, I can help.”
“Help how? Directly erase her?” Fu Chen chuckled.
Jing Hanchuan smiled meaningfully. In his territory, there were thousands of ways to make her beg for death…
“By the way, are you bringing Linbai to join in the fun?” Jing Hanchuan opened the invitation card.
“He’s doing demolition in the new district, so he probably won’t be free.”
At this moment, Duan Linbai was wearing a suit and a yellow hard hat while inspecting the demolition site.
“Achoo—” F*ck, there’s too much f*cking dust. Duan Linbai sniffed. Does my dad take me for a husky? Does he think I’m a professional at dismantling things?!

Northwestern China…
At this moment, the Qiao father and son were still purchasing chicken blood stones at a farmhouse in the mountains. They only received the news after leaving the mountains.
Qiao Wangbei didn’t like to use cell phones, and he thought that they were useless. At this moment, he was holding a knife in his hand and carving a few lines on a piece of chicken blood stone. “This material is average.”
Qiao Xiyan was reading the message Yan Wangchuan had sent with a cigarette in his hand.
“Qiao Xiyan?” Qiao Wangbei frowned. Am I talking to air?
Qiao Xiyan passed the phone over…
Qiao Wangbei looked at the message and passed the phone back to him. He lowered his head and continued carving the chicken blood stone.. His fingers suddenly exerted force, and the carving knife pierced through the stone.
