Shocking! A Hong Kong socialite gave birth to three heirs to a wealthy family.

Chapter 121 International Cultural Costume Design Competition (6)

Li Gang looked at Zhou Yunqing, who had stepped forward, and said...

"Yunqing, it was wrong of me to break up with you back then, but several years have passed. Why are you still holding a grudge and kicking me when I'm down?"

Li Gang knew all too well how to provoke Zhou Yunqing.

Li Gang thought that as long as Zhou Yunqing got angry at this moment, everyone's attention would shift to the gossip between him and Zhou Yunqing.

Just as Li Gang had predicted, Zhou Yunqing had only one thought in her mind after hearing Li Gang's words.

She went up and tore Li Gang's mouth apart.

Zhou Yunqing strode to the edge of the catwalk and was about to pull the bodyguard standing next to her onto the stage.

Shen Yao, who was standing next to Lan Qin and Zhou Yunqing, grabbed Zhou Yunqing's hand.

"Aunt Qing, he's deliberately trying to provoke you."

Lan Qin also realized what was happening and said in a cold voice.

"Yun Qing, calm down! This is not the time for you to settle scores with him!"

Zhou Yunqing has been impulsive and easily angered since childhood, but she listens to Lan Qin the most.

She glared at Li Gang on the stage, but didn't intend to go back up. Instead, she stepped back and stood next to Lan Qin.

Their movements naturally attracted the attention of everyone present.

Faced with this situation, Liang Muchao didn't know how to transition between scenes.

The main reason was that he knew Lan Qin and Zhou Yunqing were both Shen Wancheng's people, and he was afraid of saying the wrong thing and embarrassing Lan Qin and Zhou Yunqing.

Lan Qin had had enough of this farce.

Lan Qin believes that the current situation is entirely due to Li Gang, and that Li Gang is someone she taught.

Although she had already expelled Li Gang from her school, he still made a mistake in this competition because he used Suzhou embroidery techniques he had learned from her.

Lan Qin walked up to Liang Muchao.

"Can I use your microphone?"

Liang Muchao quickly handed the microphone to Lan Qin.

Lan Qin took the microphone and spoke directly to the audience.

"Hello everyone, I am Lan Qin, the former teacher of Li Gang on stage. I taught him Suzhou embroidery. For this, as a Chinese, I feel a deep sense of guilt and remorse."

"Although I published a notice in the newspaper five years ago expelling Li Gang from his school, I still believe I bear an inescapable responsibility for his traitorous behavior today. Here, I apologize for having taught Suzhou embroidery techniques to this beast."

After Lan Qin finished speaking, she bowed deeply to the audience and the live camera.

The mood of everyone present immediately turned heavy, as if they all felt Lan Qin's heartache.

Professor Zhou walked to Lan Qin's side and helped her up with both hands.

“Ms. Lan, you don’t need to blame yourself. There’s nothing wrong with passing on knowledge and skills. Traditional culture needs to be passed down, and that requires artisans from all walks of life to teach their disciples everything they know.”

"Li Gang's wrongdoing is a matter of his character, and has nothing to do with you."

Tears welled up in Lan Qin's eyes.

"Thank you."

Professor Zhou's words made Lan Qin feel much better.

Professor Zhou looked at Li Gang on the stage again and questioned him.

"Li Gang, what else do you have to say?"

Li Gang secretly resented these people for not letting him go.

The rogue said, "I was also deceived by the people from Japan. I've never seen a burial shroud before, and I didn't know that this pattern actually comes from Chinese funeral culture. As for winning first place in this competition, I didn't bribe the organizers to give it to me. I'm also innocent!"

"You're blaming me for nothing!" Liang Muchao blurted out.

"Your participation as a representative of Japan is already an act of treason, and you even used Suzhou embroidery from China in your design!"

"I'll use it if I know how. So what if I represent Japan? If I remember correctly, Hong Kong Island is now part of the UK. Everyone standing here, ask yourselves, are you still Chinese?"

"Doesn't Hong Kong claim to be tolerant? Is this kind of hostility towards Japan your form of tolerance?"

Is Hong Kong going to sever diplomatic ties and become hostile to Japan?

Li Gang suddenly steered the conversation toward politics, leaving everyone present speechless.

During this period, Hong Kong Island championed freedom of speech, but in reality, it wasn't that free.

Many celebrities do not openly express their stance in public.

Although Hong Kong Island is currently under British jurisdiction, no one can guarantee that it will not return to the embrace of China.

Moreover, if you completely side with Britain, not to mention what will happen in the future, even the patriots in Hong Kong right now will silently destroy you.

Conversely, if you loudly proclaim yourself Chinese in public, where does that leave the British government?

If you can't say it in either direction, then it's best not to discuss this topic in public.

Therefore, when Li Gang explicitly mentioned politics, no one responded.

Liang Muchao looked around, and in the end, he took on the responsibility and continued speaking.

"What hostility? Don't label us. Are we talking about the attitude of the Hong Kong public towards Japan? What we are criticizing now is your misattribution of the two cultures."

"Forget it, you're not even human, you can't understand human language anyway, so just get off the stage."

"However, I must kindly remind you to be careful when walking at night. There are too many people who don't like you, both at the scene and watching on TV. You might get stabbed to death in the street by some chivalrous hero tomorrow."

The bodyguards around the stage withdrew, and the overseas Chinese and the judge immediately slunk off the stage.

Only Li Gang didn't forget to say something, attempting to ensure his own safety.

"Liang Muchao, if I kill you, you'll be the one who gets the blame."

"If I want to touch you, do I need to do it myself? I'd rather you get my hands dirty!"

After Li Gang stepped down, the catwalk was immediately empty.

Liang Muchao tossed the microphone to the staff member in charge of the equipment, thinking that the event was over.

Unexpectedly, someone in the audience shouted.

"The winner of the competition hasn't even gone on stage to explain the design concept of their work yet, we can't stop here!"

"That's right, it doesn't matter that the imposter won first place. In this competition, we only recognize the winner in that traditional Chinese wedding dress!"

"Yes, I've taken a liking to that traditional Chinese wedding dress. How can I purchase it?"

Liang Muchao was stunned for a moment. He had almost forgotten that the highlight of this competition was that unbelievably beautiful wedding dress.

The focus of the competition was not only to ruin Li Gang's reputation, but also to provide a good opportunity for Shen Wancheng's company to gain fame.

Shen Wancheng had been watching Liang Muchao's intelligence all afternoon, but now he was lost in thought.

But she couldn't show her face, so she secretly kicked Liang Muchao to keep him as the host.

Liang Muchao snapped out of his daze and was about to take the microphone back to speak when Professor Zhou spoke first.

"Everyone is right. The dress Ms. Lan designed today was truly outstanding, perfectly blending Chinese culture with modern fashion. It's a design that possesses both the essence of ancient China and meets contemporary aesthetic standards."

"Please welcome Ms. Lan to talk to everyone about her design concept."
