“Looks like this calligraphy piece was indeed written by Qiao Xi, but Yi Cang said it was his? Does he think Qiao Xi is easy to bully just because she’s a university teacher?”
“Yi Cang wanted to snatch Qiao Xi’s work and pass it off as his. He didn’t expect Qiao Xi to know Mr. Liang and that the writing process was recorded.”
Everyone did not expect the outcome of the cheating incident to be like this. They all looked at Yi Cang in disbelief. Who would believe that a dignified master of the calligraphy world would maliciously snatch the work of an amateur?
Liang Pingchuan looked up at Yi Cang coldly. “The truth is right in front of you. What else do you have to say?”
Yi Cang’s face was ashen, and his body swayed. He hurriedly held onto the chair to steady himself. His vision was slightly blurry, and he looked at Liang Pingchuan while trembling with fear before turning to look at Qiao Xi.
“What? You have nothing to say? Apologize to Xi Xi!” Liang Pingchuan berated, “As a senior in the calligraphy world, you tried to snatch the work of a junior and even slandered her for cheating. If I hadn’t come to clear her name today, Xi Xi would have been scolded for cheating! She clearly didn’t do anything wrong, but she was wronged by you because she’s too talented and capable. Is this fair to her?”
Liang Pingchuan had a gentle temper and had always been gentle and elegant. However, at this moment, he reprimanded Yi Cang sternly. It could be seen how angry he was.
The students of Class 3 below the stage were equally angry. The sports representative shouted at Yi Cang, “Mr. Liang is right! Just because Teacher Qiao is too outstanding, you got jealous and wanted to malign her. You did something wrong, so shouldn’t you apologize?”
“Do you know that once Qiao Xi is thought to have cheated, she’ll be fired from the university? Moreover, she’ll have to bear the infamy and be mocked by everyone in the future. Not only will you not suffer any losses, but you’ll also be able to obtain a perfect piece of work without spending a single cent. You’ve planned it well, but you never expected that your evil deeds would be exposed one day, huh?!”
“Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because of your identity and status. We’ve been studying for so many years, so don’t think we’ll be stepping stones for people like you! We also want to display our works and stand out!”
The students below the stage roared angrily. It was not only for Qiao Xi but also for themselves. They were unwilling for their achievements to be stolen by others.
The students stood up and shouted one after another. The chancellor at the side also said with a gloomy expression, “Mr. Yi, you passed off Teacher Qiao’s work as yours and even slandered her reputation. Our university can sue you according to the law. And Mr. Shang, you’re also involved in this matter. What else do you have to say for yourselves?”
Yi Cang and Shang Jing’s faces were ashen. Their throats were dry, and they could not say a word.
Below the stage, Lu Muxue’s heart trembled. Cold sweat gradually seeped out of her forehead as her heart thumped violently.
She kept comforting herself in her heart. This had nothing to do with her. She had just raised a question. She did not say that the calligraphy piece belonged to Mr. Yi. Yi Cang admitted it himself.
Yi Cang gritted his teeth. He knew that he could not explain himself anymore, but he was still unwilling to give up. “She’s just an amateur. It’s her honor that I liked her work. Anyway, she won’t be entering the calligraphy world. Since she was just keeping this work, she might as well give it to me. I’ll compensate her accordingly after this. Mr. Liang, we’re both seniors in the calligraphy world. Why are we going against each other?”
These words were heard through the microphone at the side. The students widened their eyes when they heard that.
Was it Qiao Xi’s honor that he stole her work? This person was too shameless!
Not only did Yi Cang pretend to be the creator of Qiao Xi’s work, but he even played the blame game with Qiao Xi. He was not even willing to apologize and even shamelessly said that this was Qiao Xi’s honor!
The corners of Liang Pingchuan’s mouth twitched. He slowly walked forward, and the powerful pressure made Yi Cang unable to raise his head. The atmosphere instantly fell into a deadlock. After a long silence, he slowly said, “Do you think that just because the other party is an amateur with no background, they can be easily manipulated? I helped Xi Xi clear her name this time. If it were someone else, you would’ve ruined that young person’s life. However, you don’t regret it at all and are instead very unconvinced?”
Yi Cang lowered his head, but he was still unwilling to give up. “As long as she admitted that the work she submitted was changed, neither party would’ve lost out. I had already given her a way out, but she, a junior, insisted on going against me…”
“Why?” Liang Pingchuan’s eyes were filled with anger, and his voice suddenly turned cold. “Why should she admit it? This is clearly her work. Why should she go against her own wishes? Moreover, with her identity, she doesn’t have to suffer at all!”
