Chapter 90 - Very Weird (1/2)

Susu continuously stirred her Strawberry Pink drink while Lily, Chen Mu and Lin Que stared at her silently. Lily whispered to Chen Mu, ”Do you know what's wrong with her?”

He shook his head and decided to wave his hands in her face to get her attention. ”Susu! Susu!”

”Huh? What's wrong?” she moved backwards instinctively.

”This should be the question that we ask you. What were you thinking about just now? You looked so out of earth just now. Are you feeling alright?” Chen Mu asked.

”Huh? Yeah... I'm alright. I was just thinking about the whole invitation card to the design event thing. It doesn't add up anymore.” Susu sipped her drink.

”What doesn't add up?” Lily asked.

”So like when he had Zhi Hei deliver the invitation card to me, he used the rose stamp on purpose to catch my attention and lure me to the event, right? But before that, nobody had ever seen my sketches or design. Therefore, with just his attentive nature, he could only have suspected Karen for plagiarizing and stealing. No matter how I think about it, it still wouldn't link to me.”

”Weren't your initials on it?” Lin Que replied.

”Yes, but anyone could have had the same initials or purposely added these designs as their company logo. How did he trace back to me? And let's just say that he may have known about Karen being my stepsister, but who would go in depth to help me prove my design? And how did he know that I didn't give it to Karen so that she could get into the school?”

The more they talked, the more questions filled their heads. At first, only Susu had questions. Now, all four of them were thinking about the endless possibilities of how Professor Luo Xia figured things out in his own way.

”It's a wonder, but could it be a designer's instinct? Besides, he's been in this field for so long that he probably had plentiful experience with copycats like that woman.” Lily stabbed her salad a few times when she mentioned Karen.

”Okay, so I'll even give the hypothetical situation where he actually knew all those. Then how would we explain the fact that he knew I had another method to proving my work? I mean, the initials were right there, right? How could he have known that I had another trick up my sleeves for that rose stamp?”

”Maybe he took an educative patterned guess? Since you proved your designed dresses in such a unique way, he probably expected it from the stamp as well.” Chen Mu thought about it logically before responding to her question.

”It's impossible for him to have guessed that. There are two reasons. One, this could be a regular stamp with initials on it. Meaning, it is just a piece of paper with a rose print on top. Who would have thought that I would fold up the corners, poke a few holes and manage to craft it to a blossoming rose?”
