They thought Xinghe would punch herself from the failure of her plan .
To their bitter disappointment, Xinghe merely turned around and walked away wordlessly .
However, she didn't leave . She stopped in front of a long bench and planted herself there .
It appeared like she was waiting for the surgery to finish…
Witnessing her shamelessness, the group of people started to say unsavory things about her .
Thankfully, Xinghe was far away from them so she didn't hear anything . Then again, she probably wouldn't have reacted even if she did .
The same couldn't be said for Xia Zhi .
He was incensed by the condescending looks the crowd kept tossing their way .
"Sis, these people are really too much . How can they not believe you and choose to believe that wily thief? Bunch of blind idiots!" Xia Zhi who stood in front of her groused .
Advertisement"Miss Xia, do you have any other plan? Is there no proof you can produce to show your innocence?" Luo Jun was also fuming with indignation .
In contrast, Xinghe was as calm as ever .
"Don't fret, I'd predicted as much," she comforted them .
Xia Zhi was startled . "Sis, you predicted this? Then, why are we here to suffer? We should find ourselves a lawyer and sue that Yun Ruobing!"
Xinghe smiled good-naturedly . "But they were right . I can't produce any proof . Ee Chen will definitely not sell her out . "
Technically speaking, Ee Chen was Ruobing's accomplice in helping her steal the design . Selling her out would only implicate him .
That was probably why Ruobing was so confident that her plan would not fall apart .
"Then what can we do? Sit here quietly and see that Yun Ruobing take all the credit that is rightfully yours? I can't stand that smug face of hers!"
"Don't worry," Xinghe said calmly, "The proof will show itself soon enough . "
Xia Zhi and Luo Jun were pleasantly surprised .
"Sis, what do you mean by that? What proof?"
"The faulty product itself is the proof . "
The answer came not from Xinghe but Mubai who was walking towards them .
Xia Zhi and Luo Jun looked at each other in confusion over his sudden arrival and answer . They had a hard time understanding what he meant .
Mubai didn't explain, instead he stared deeply at Xinghe before adding, "I want to have a private conversation with Xinghe . "
Before waiting for the two of them to respond, he sat down beside Xinghe and asked under his breath, "Am I right?"
Xinghe turned to look at him before nodding, "You're right . "
"What will be the consequences?"
"Nothing life-threatening, a little pain of the flesh . "
"You have no intention of stopping it?"
"I could ask you the same thing . "
Mubai's lips curved into a smile . "Certain people need a sound slap to the face before they can see reality more clearly . Other than that, not stopping this will give them the chance to see the real you and cure their prejudice . "
"I'm not doing this to change their impression of me . " I'm doing this just for my son .
Mubai understood the words that were left unsaid . His dark eyes glowed slightly before continuing, "Indeed, you shouldn't jump through hoops to purposely endear yourself to others . Living with a constant mask is a pain . Use your talent to impress them all and they will love you for who you are and not how you act . "
At least that is why I fell in love with you .
I love how real you are and the confident way you carry yourself; the majestic presence that speaks of the fact that you have control of your own fate .
The self-assurance and the talent behind it, they are dazzlingly beautiful .
But most of all, I love you because, Xia Xinghe, you are uniquely your own . You are one of a kind and irreplaceable .
Mubai confessed in his heart because he knew Xinghe was not one for lovey-dovey proclamation and the timing was not right .
