Chapter 470: Chapter 470
Ling Momo, although knowing it was improper, also understood that nothing could stop Chen Wanru from doing what she wanted. She accepted the trophy from Chen Wanru’s hands with a smile. Chen Wanru opened her arms wide, and Ling Momo briefly hugged her.
After the hug, Ling Momo certainly did not forget to say, "Thank you!"
The host originally intended to interject a reminder, but realizing it would only make the three of them extremely embarrassed, she could only stand aside with a smile on her face.
Then Chen Wanru turned around, picked up the second trophy, and handed it to Jian Chenxi. Jian Chenxi received it with both hands, and was about to embrace Chen Wanru, but Chen Wanru indifferently withdrew her hands, her posture distant. Jian Chenxi’s expression briefly showed an awkwardness as a flash of malice darted through her eyes, yet swiftly a flawless, perfect smile blossomed on her face for Chen Wanru.
As Chen Wanru observed Jian Chenxi’s blooming smile, she thought to herself that if she hadn’t been so perceptive to catch that flash of malice in her eyes, she might have been deceived by her as well...
To be honest, she did indeed want to embarrass Jian Chenxi!
Jian Chenxi, sweetly kissing the trophy, paid no mind to Chen Wanru’s coldness and spoke in a friendly tone, "Thank you, Sister Chen!"
She displayed her bold and unabashed aura utterly and completely.
Chen Wanru always despised Jian Chenxi’s insincere front, and now, seeing how despite her underlying hatred, Jian Chenxi still pretended to be generous, Chen Wanru couldn’t help but sneer. She turned off her microphone and, in a tone neither light nor heavy, spat out the words, "Cheap bitch, so pretentious!"
Naturally, the audience below couldn’t hear Chen Wanru’s insult, but Ling Momo, the host, and Jian Chenxi on stage heard it very clearly!
Seeing this, the host, although unsure how Jian Chenxi had offended Chen Wanru, immediately stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over, "Alright, our award ceremony has now wound up, I invite our three esteemed female singers to go down and rest."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wanru turned around and, in her high heels, walked away with an air of haughty pride.
Ling Momo followed behind her, her demeanor calm and indifferent.
Jian Chenxi’s eyes flickered unpredictably, and she forced a smile to remain on her face.
Several more awards were given out in succession, and the real banquet began. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel·fıre·net
As a top celebrity, Chen Wanru was toasted by everyone at the banquet, from the ES vice presidents to the small-time singers fortunate enough to attend.
When Chen Wanru first entered the entertainment circle, she couldn’t hold her liquor well, but having been in the industry for some time, she learned to drink like water and thus built up a good tolerance. Despite this, she couldn’t withstand the steady stream of toasts, so at the first opportunity, she slipped out of the banquet hall quietly to get some fresh air.
Because ES held its annual celebratory banquet at the Imperial Palace today, the entire venue was in a closed state, exceptionally quiet, with hardly anyone around and the corridors eerily empty.
Chen Wanru wasn’t sure where to go, so she just walked aimlessly forward in her sharp high heels, almost reaching the end of the hallway when she was about to turn back, and suddenly she heard a voice call out, "Qingshen."
