Chapter 40: Not of the Same World

This turn of events had indeed been unexpected for Lin Zhiyi.

Song Wanqiu really stooped to any level to suppress her.

Who plagiarized whom? Song Wanqiu was clearer about that than anyone, and now she actually wanted to frame Lin Zhiyi for plagiarism.

The word "draw inspiration" was really well chosen.

Plus, the reporters reminded everyone that Lin Zhiyi had seen Song Wanqiu's design draft in advance.

By admitting to drawing inspiration, she would essentially be admitting that Song Wanqiu was better than her, and so her competition entry also had to draw on Song Wanqiu's work.

By not admitting to drawing inspiration, she would look like a stubborn dead duck, and her second place would seem dishonorable.

Song Wanqiu, on the side, played mediator, "Everyone, please don't say such things. It's an honor for me that Zhiyi drew inspiration from my work."
