The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 493:
CHAPTER 493: CHAPTER 493:
Under the watchful eyes of many, Jiang Moxi unfolded the sample garment and then pointed to the four corners of the garment.
"Any official purchase of my newly designed clothes, whether it is off-the-rack or custom-made, you can see these animal and plant totem patterns on the two shoulders, and the hem of the dress or the clothing."
"I have this pattern."
"So do I!"
Under Jiang Moxi’s guidance, several socialites still dressed in Designer X’s custom outfits hurriedly checked their shoulders and hems and found the totem patterns exactly as Jiang Moxi described.
But even then, Jiang Weiwei couldn’t help but sneer while watching the live broadcast, "Anyone can use such a pattern; it’s not exclusive to you. I thought there was something special, but this is it?"
However, as Jiang Moxi brought together the patterns from the corners of the sample garment during the live stream, Jiang Weiwei’s face instantly turned pale.
Because once those four corner patterns were pieced together, they formed an "X."
Jiang Moxi held up the pieced-together pattern towards the live camera, her lips slightly curled.
"Because my name contains the character ’Xi,’ so I often casually used ’X’ as a nickname for many accounts, including my designer name."
"Just that I don’t know if Miss Jiang Weiwei, the chief designer of Weifeng Studio, also has an ’X’ at the beginning of her name, otherwise how would she also use such a signature?"
Apart from Jiang Weiwei, whether it was the audience on site or those lurking in the live stream, they were all shocked at that moment.
Because neither Jiang Weiwei nor Weifeng had anything to do with the letter "X!"
At this moment, quite a few socialites and high-class ladies wearing clothes previously released by Weifeng were also on site, prepared to seek justice for Jiang Weiwei and Weifeng.
However, out of fear of being retaliated against by the Feng Family upon finding out that Designer X was Jiang Moxi, they simply chose to keep their mouths shut.
Now, as Jiang Moxi mentioned her design and the totems on the four corners of the garments, they couldn’t help but check their own attire.
Then they found that the clothes produced by Weifeng also bore the exclusive signature of Designer X, and they could be pieced together to form a marker identical to the "X" in Jiang Moxi’s hands.
Besides the audience on site, there were also numerous people in the live stream who had recently purchased off-the-rack clothes from Weifeng.
Upon seeing the totem "X" displayed by Jiang Moxi, they couldn’t help but dig out their Weifeng garments and found that they too had the signature of Designer X on them.
"Oh my god, I found Designer X’s mark on the Weifeng off-the-rack dress I bought."
"Same here."
"So did we all misunderstand Designer X?"
"Damn it, I’ve been sending messages cheering on Jiang Weiwei on Weibo every day, even taking a group of sisters to buy Weifeng clothes, lurking under Yunshang’s official Weibo, constantly trying to seek justice for her! Turns out Jiang Weiwei has been playing us all along?"
"I’ll kneel in front of Yunshang’s brick-and-mortar store tomorrow and beg for Designer X’s forgiveness!"
"Jiang Weiwei, you bitch! You think you can fool us, you’re doomed."
"I thought Weifeng’s off-the-rack clothes looked pretty good, so I commissioned Jiang Weiwei to make a gown. Do you know what I received yesterday? It was ugly and highlighted all my flaws! I was wondering if there was more to the plagiarism scandal. Now it seems that’s exactly the case!"
"Sisters, hurry up and cancel your custom orders from Weifeng, and remember to demand compensation, got it? Don’t let this damn plagiarist take advantage and act cocky!"
A wave of barrage against Jiang Weiwei almost drowned out the live stream.
Jiang Weiwei, watching those angry voices, had only two words left in her mind - It’s over!
Actually, her exposure to clothing design hasn’t been long, she just vaguely knew that some fashion designers would make small marks on their designs, to avoid being plagiarized.
Previously, when she saw designer X’s drafts, she also found the totems in the four corners a bit novel.
She had thought about deleting this part, but then she felt that the design was more harmonious and looked better with these patterns, so she ultimately couldn’t bear to remove them.
But she never imagined that this would become a fatal blow.
Jiang Weiwei couldn’t bear to imagine what kind of domino effect the upcoming wave of returns would trigger.
She just hurriedly packed up her things, and hastily left from behind the scenes of the launch event.
On the other hand, the Jiang Family watching Yunshang’s new product launch were initially filled with righteous indignation.
Especially when Jiang Moxi mentioned she had two older brothers, the Jiang Family thought she was spouting nonsense.
"Two older brothers? Doesn’t she just have Weiwei as an older sister?" Du Yuke muttered.
"Perhaps she’s referring to her foster family. But that’s not right either; wasn’t it said that that family only had one son?" Jiang Guosheng pondered.
Yu Man, however, bluntly criticized: "She’s becoming more and more insane, even making up stories about having two older brothers, and acting like she comes from a wealthy family! Does she think by crafting the persona of a rich heiress, unburdened by money, she can clear herself of plagiarism?"
Jiang Tairan’s expression darkened as he listened to their discussion.
He had been hoping that Jiang Moxi would amount to something and be able to support the Jiang Family in the future.
But now, hearing her continually make "false" statements, Jiang Tairan felt he had been overly hopeful.
How could Jiang Moxi, just a girl from a poor mountainous area, have become a famous designer in her teens?
In the end, his days were numbered, and he was excessively eager for someone to lead the Jiang Family out of adversity so that he could also connect with the young miracle doctor from the Feng Family and cure his damned illness.
The more Jiang Tairan thought, the more he found his previous thoughts laughable; shaking his head, he decided to go back to his room to rest.
Yu Man also planned on turning off the TV, not wanting to waste more time on some trash.
But at that moment, Jiang Moxi assembled the four corners of the garments together, and the direction of the online comments began to change.
"My God, is she really designer X?"
Amidst Yu Man’s exclamation, Jiang Tairan, who had been heading to the bedroom, couldn’t help but turn back.
Jiang Guosheng and Du Yuke also instantly turned their heads, refocusing their attention on the TV.
Upon seeing the online community start to denounce Jiang Weiwei, they too realized the ins and outs of the situation.
"Was it Weiwei who plagiarized?" Disbelief covered Du Yuke’s face.
Jiang Guosheng’s complexion also turned sour: "It’s over, everything’s over."
Weifeng Studio was finally showing some promise, allowing Jiang Guosheng to see hope; now, being torn apart online, not only might the studio go under, Jiang Weiwei would also end up burdened with countless debts.
Yu Man’s face didn’t look much better, but she did remember one thing.
"So she’s designer X? No wonder Yunshang turned me and Weiwei away at the door; it’s all this damn girl’s doing!"
The only person in the family happy about this was Jiang Tairan.
"Moxi is designer X, that’s great! With this, she might be able to use her designer status to help me get an introduction to Miss Xi, the young miracle doctor from the Feng Family!"
