The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 125: Stealing the Spotlight Again
Gu Yuan’s eyes were filled with brilliance, her smile baffling Sheng Yi: "Hmm, no shortcuts. We, Sheng Yi, rely on our strength."
Only then did Sheng Yi breathe a sigh of relief.
Since entering the entertainment circle, the status Sheng Yi has today was all earned through her own efforts. It’s not that she disdained Yuanyuan’s help, but reaching the destination directly would leave her without any motivation to strive.
On stage.
When the host announced Ji Xinyi’s name, the whole place erupted in applause.
It was expected that Ji Xinyi would win this award. She was about to lift her skirt and stand up when the host read another name—
"Next, please welcome Sheng Yi to come on stage to present the Annual Goddess Award."
The smile on Ji Xinyi’s face suddenly froze, her eyes widened. It was likely that no one expected Sheng Yi would be the one to present the award to Ji Xinyi!!!
Traditionally, the award presenters are usually seniors, such as screenwriters, directors, or producers. Why is Sheng Yi presenting the award to Ji Xinyi?
Although everyone was curious, they still applauded enthusiastically.
Sheng Yi hadn’t reacted yet when Gu Yuan beside her reminded her: "Be a good girl, go present the award."
The camera focused on Sheng Yi’s face, her image appearing on the large screen. Her expression was evidently a bit dumbfounded, but upon seeing herself on the big screen, she quickly sat up straight.
On the big screen, Sheng Yi’s face remained as photogenic as ever. Her styling was the best of the night. When she appeared on the screen, all those who hadn’t seen her tonight were caught by surprise—
"Sheng Yi is wearing that Green Gables dress, it’s a limited edition from ESSRB’s spring-summer haute couture collection this year."
"I noticed. No other stars could borrow it. Sheng Yi is incredible."
"Of course, the person backing Sheng Yi is President Gu."
"Is it the President Gu from Yingcan??"
"Yeah, keep it down, otherwise, it looks like we’re not worldly, haha."
"I must say, Sheng Yi knows how to handle things. I can already imagine how all the online buzz after tonight will be praising her. Her status is going to rise again, oh, so envious."
"It’s unattainable envy."
When Ji Xinyi saw Sheng Yi’s image appear on the big screen, she bit her cheek in anger and felt aggrieved inside. She had already lost enough face tonight, hoping to turn the tables by winning the award, but now Sheng Yi was presenting her the award.
Isn’t this deliberately going against her!
At that moment, the camera shifted to Ji Xinyi’s face.
Ji Xinyi was still fuming, her expression management not yet in check, and she suddenly appeared on the big screen like that.
Ji Xinyi: "..."
Why so sudden!!!!
She immediately restrained her grim expression, forcing an awkward smile.
Everyone knew that tonight, Sheng Yi’s styling had already outshone everyone, and if Sheng Yi went up on stage and showed herself, tomorrow’s buzz would be all about Sheng Yi alone!
There were good-natured chuckles from the audience, but everyone held back, afraid that if they laughed too hard, the camera might swing to them as well.
Ji Xinyi clutched her skirt as she walked down the aisle, Sheng Yi waiting for her ahead.
"What an honor to be able to present this award to you tonight." Sheng Yi confidently extended her hand.
Even though Ji Xinyi was very displeased inside, she still had to smile slightly in front of Sheng Yi, pretending to be open and placing her hand in Sheng Yi’s.
The two of them went on stage together.
The etiquette lady brought up the trophy on a tray, the five-pointed star trophy shimmering with golden light. After handing it to Sheng Yi, Sheng Yi then presented it to Ji Xinyi: "Congratulations, Ji Xinyi."
The two young actresses stood on stage comparing beauty, and Ji Xinyi undoubtedly lost miserably.
Sheng Yi stole all the spotlight.
Ji Xinyi maintained a slightly stiff smile, accepted the trophy, and absentmindedly began her award acceptance speech with the microphone.
