Anqi rushed in from outside, holding her phone up for Xia Pengpeng to see.
"Pengpeng, you've made it to the second round! You've made it to the second round!"
"Hmm, I know," Xia Pengpeng responded in a nonchalant tone.
"You don't even seem excited—I'm so happy for you!"
Before Xia Pengpeng could speak, Xia Wei walked over, arms crossed over her chest, and looked down her nose at Xia Pengpeng with an air of arrogance.
"Xia Pengpeng, I suggest you confess honestly."
"Confess what?" Xia Pengpeng asked with a smile.
"Who prepared the artwork you submitted for the contest? This is serious cheating, you know. Better to clarify things now—it'll just be condemnation from everyone at worst. But once the second round officially starts, you could face legal consequences!"
Xia Wei had already decided that the work Xia Pengpeng had entered in the second round wasn't her own.
