Destined with You

Gu Qingxin glanced disdainfully at Gu Yunci, then walked over to the principal’s desk, “Hello, Principal.”

“You are Gu Qingxin.” The principal scrutinized her.

“I am.” Gu Qingxin, having seen Gu Yunci, knew that this summons was not going to bode well.

“Did you design the fashion sketches for the design competition that the school held last semester yourself?” The principal questioned sharply.

“Of course, it was!” Gu Qingxin confidently replied, her face not showing the slightest guilt.

“Why are you doing this to yourself, younger sister? You just have to admit that you stole my work, and I won’t hold it against you. After all, you are my sister.” Gu Yunci stood up, feigning a compassionate demeanor.

“I stole your work? That’s a joke, those design sketches were all completed with my own creativity!” Gu Qingxin contemptuously dismissed the woman in front of her.

“If you say they are yours, then where are your draft sketches?”

The principal’s tone had become rather displeased. Gu Qingxin’s impression had soured considerably. To think that even after being exposed, she would still persist in her audacious defense. Did she assume that the principal did not have concrete evidence when summoning her?

“My draft sketches are at home.” Gu Qingxin stated truthfully. All of her design drafts were stored at home.

“Still making excuses? Gu Yunci has already brought your draft sketches. I would never have imagined a student like you in our school! You’ve made a mistake, and there’s not a trace of remorse in you!” The principal appeared to have already come to the conclusion that Gu Qingxin’s work was stolen from Gu Yunci.

“I’m not making excuses. That design is mine! It’s my hard work! Gu Yunci, can you stop it? Is it fun for you to frame people?”

“Sister…don’t be angry. I’m doing this for your own good. I don’t want you to head down the wrong path…Principal, please don’t take it to heart. She’s still young, those designs can be hers…I withdraw what 1 said earlier.”

Gu Yunci put on a wounded face, her tears rolling down as she restrained herself, acting as though she had suffered greatly for her sister.

“Wait, how did you get my draft sketches!” Gu Qingxin looked at Gu Yunci in anger.

“Why are you doing this to yourself, sister?” Gu Yunci looked at her with teary eyes, as though she truly cared about Gu Qingxin, pretending to be well-intentioned.

“You broke into my house to take my stuff!” Gu Qingxin quickly picked up the draft sketches from the principal’s desk, which were indeed her drawings.

“Nonsense, you made mistakes and refuse to repent! Your sister spoiling you can’t become an excuse. If all students acted like you, our school ethos would be ruined!”

“I didn’t do it! These are all my efforts!” Gu Qingxin firmly gripped the drafts in her hand, which she had worked on for the competition, staying up night after night designing them!

“Just apologize to the principal, Gu. At worst, your eligibility to participate in the competition will be cancelled. There will be opportunities in the future.”

The professor standing on the side couldn’t stand it anymore and had to interject, trying to persuade the stubborn young girl. If she truly angered the principal, getting her expelled wouldn’t be impossible.

“Yes, just admit you stole my designs, and the principal will be magnanimous and his anger would fade!” Gu Yunci reached out to touch her arm.

“Why should I admit to something I didn’t do? If I admit to stealing today, can I still work in this industry in the future? I won’t admit to things 1 haven’t done! Get away, don’t touch me!” Gu Qingxin angrily shook off Gu Yunci and left the principal’s office in large strides..
