Chapter 638: 0628 Owes an apology   Chapter 638: 0628 Owes an apology                                   Now the attention of everyone in the venue was focused on Su Ran, and she was the one everyone immediately thought of!


    “What? giarism? Is this beautiful Eastern Lady the giarist?”


    “You can’t tell by looking, I thought she was strong!”


    “So this is called knowing a person by their face, but not their heart. However, a giarist managing to make it into the finals really makes one doubt!”


    “Could it be she used some means to pull strings?!”


    In no time, questioning voices came from all directions.


    The grudge between Zhao Yiyi and Su Ran had a long history, be it for Su Xinyan or for herself, she had countless reasons to dislike Su Ran.


    Now seeing her pointed at by thousands, Yiyi felt extremely delighted, casting a provocative look at Su Ran.


    However, Su Ran merely gave her a cursory nce, facing the questioning and sarcastic voices with an always calm andposed demeanor.


    Clearly, she was unaffected by the gossip and idle chatter.


    Seeing Su Ran ignore her provocation, Zhao Yiyi’s face turned extremely ugly, a nameless anger welling up in her chest immediately.


    She failed to anger her enemy, but nearly choked on her own fury!


    Su Xinyan was also burning with anger. This shameless woman really has some nerve!


    She clenched her teeth in secret, then reached out to tug at Zhao Yiyi’s clothes and whispered:


    “Yiyi, don’t say that. There must be some misunderstanding. My sister would never do such a thing…”


    Zhao Yiyi, looking at Su Xinyan with righteous indignation said:


    “Why can’t I say it? Xinyan, you’re still speaking up for her at this time. You’re her younger sister, she giarized your design. Since she has no shame, why should you save face for her!”


    Su Xinyan gave a bitter smile, “After all, she is my sister…”


    A seemingly helpless remark that nheless firmly established the fact that Su Ran had giarized.


    “That woman really giarized? And she copied her own younger sister’s work?”


    “My God, how could there be someone so shameless, how did she make it into the finals?”


    “What were the judges thinking? To let such a person in, isn’t that pping their own faces?”


    “Yes, the World Designers Competition is known for being fair and impartial, with no nepotism whatsoever, but it seems now… there’s a lot of water!”


    As the crowd discussed, they looked at the judges with odd expressions.


    Some of the judges who could at first ignore the rumors now could not, as the questioning touched on fairness, naturally they couldn’t just let it go!


    One of them, looking at Su Xinyan’s affected, pitiable act, scoffed and said:


    “Since Miss Heart is so doubtful of our judging, you can apply to invalidate the scores of thispetition.”


    “We don’t mind applying to Queen Nefertiti for a rematch, if all the contestants doubt our impartiality, we can also go for an open mode, with public online scoring.”


    Seeing the judges were angry, everyone felt a bit wilted and embarrassed, at a loss for words.


    The fairness of the panel of judges at the World Designers Competition was internationally renowned.


    Furthermore, these judges came from all over the world, ying favoritism for a single contestant was simply not realistic.


    They were just parroting someone else’s words and hadn’t expected that it would provoke a proposal for a rematch.


    Each person has different tastes in appreciating things, it’s possible that online scoring might not even match the current scores.


    After all, judges are professionals, aren’t they?


    This was purely making trouble for themselves!


    Suddenly, everyone fell silent!


    Upon hearing thepetition was to be restarted, Su Xinyan panicked.


    She had used up all of her design drafts and had none left for reentering the contest.


    But why were these judges favouring Su Ran?


    “Respected judges, I am not questioning the fairness of your judgment, but…”


    “Heh, since you aren’t, what’s the meaning behind the rhythm of your words, Heart? Isn’t it just wanting to pin a hat of giarism onto Miss Su, and that we judges are blindly favouring her?”


    Su Xinyan’s face subtly changed, then she put on a greatly injured, aggrieved, and forbearing look.


    “Are you saying that what I just said was intentionally setting a tone? I don’t know what I’ve said to make you hold such strong opinions against me, but I’d like to ask all the teachers, is it also wrong for me to seek the truth for myself?”


    With an expression on the verge of tears, her face pallid and eyes red with innocence and pity, Su Xinyan looked as if she had suffered the greatest injustice.


    “Seeking the truth for yourself isn’t wrong, but having impure motives and an improper mindset is a serious issue.”


    Su Xinyan’s face stiffened again, she clenched her teeth in fury, but still responded with a gentle and weak voice:


    “I know the judges haveints against me, and that whatever I say is wrong.”


    Upon hearing this, the judge who was confronting Su Xinyan was also sincerely angered.


    This woman, truly knows how to disguise!


    Havingints against her?


    Wasn’t this an open usation of their unfairness?


    Su Ran patted his shoulder with a smile, herposed expression instantly calming his agitated mood.


    As she slowly stepped out from behind, her face wore a smile that somehow conveyed an eerie chill.


    She slowly walked to Su Xinyan and stopped, looking down at her from above, an overwhelming sense of pressure washing over her, immobilising her instantly.


    Even the onlookers fell silent unconsciously, silently observing the standoff between the two.


    “What do you want to do?”


    Wen Peipei, worried that Su Ran might suddenly attack Su Xinyan, stepped forward to shield her, watching her with a wary and disgusted face.


    Su Ran swept her eyes lightly over Wen Peipei before resting her gaze upon Su Xinyan’s face, her cool voice steadily filling the air.


    “What truth is it that you seek for yourself?”


    Su Xinyan’s face stiffened for a moment, then she sighed lightly, looking at Su Ran with a helpless expression.


    “Sister, I wouldn’t have brought it up again after so much time, but on such an international stage, I really don’t want to deceive everyone any longer. Don’t you think you owe an exnation about the matter from five years ago?”


    Su Ran curled her lips, “Oh? Exin what?”


    Su Xinyan raised her eyebrows, looking towards Su Ran with deep disdain, then gave her a knowing look.


    Su Ran nodded knowingly, “Are you referring to the incident five years ago, where I giarised your design?”


    “You admit it?!” Su Xinyan eximed loudly.


    Su Ran arched an eyebrow, “Admit? When did I admit that? And, are you sure you’re not just hoping that I’ll admit it?!”


    Su Xinyan forced a smile on her face, “I have no idea what you’re talking about, sister…”


    Su Ran didn’t care, taking another two steps closer, and leaned down.


    “So, you’re certain that I giarised your design five years ago?”


    Su Xinyan felt a shiver in her heart but resisted the urge to step back.


    She wouldn’t allow herself to show weakness in front of Su Ran.


    “Although I’d like to cover up for my sister, what you did was wrong, and you owe both me and the public an apology!”
