After saying these words, she took off her earrings and threw everything related to the company into the car. Then, with a graceful turn, she walked towards the red carpet.
Ironically, her agent had known all along that she couldn’t attend the Starlight Awards tonight and hadn’t prepared a formal dress. The outfit she wore was self-prepared.
It was a pity that she realized it too late, but she wouldn’t let the company off easily!
With a straight posture, Shen Qiaoyu walked towards the spotlight.
Given that she would be sidelined in the future, tonight she would just be herself!
…
The frustrated agent, who was left speechless by Shen Qiaoyu’s act of smashing her purse and earrings, kicked the car door in anger.
Encountering an artist like Shen Qiaoyu was simply unlucky for him. On the surface, she appeared calm, refined, and reasonable, making it easy to control her. However, deep down, she had a rebellious streak and acted like she owned the world. Whenever something displeased her, there was no way to placate her.
Now, let’s talk about the suggestion of having her accompany someone for a drink or spending a night together. As long as she accompanies them, she gains connections. Once she has connections, then she will have the opportunity to become popular. In the entertainment industry, besides those who already have powerful backgrounds, who didn’t rise to fame through similar means?
Damn, she’s so fake and pretentious!
When they signed her two years ago, she was more beautiful than any other female artist in the company. Who knew that after two years, she would rely solely on her face to gain popularity? Her acting skills are terrible. How can she expect to enter the entertainment industry without trading her body for resources? Without exposure, how can she gain followers?
She refuses to compromise?
Let’s see how she ends up!
With a grim expression, he ushered the assistant into the car and drove away confidently.
As the car drove away, a top-class business car approached from the opposite direction. The car window was slightly opened, and the woman inside lazily leaned against it. Her face was simply as if it was bestowed by the heavens, captivating the hearts of anyone who looked at her.
The agent’s face was filled with fascination. It was Yan Shiqing, the multi-talented and versatile actress in film, television, and music, the darling of the entertainment industry.
Who could have imagined that such a person would be Shen Qiaoyu’s childhood friend? They should have buttered her up long ago. After all, she doesn’t discriminate between genders. If she were to take an interest, wouldn’t it be a rapid rise to fame?
But Shen Qiaoyu was extremely afraid of encountering her and tried to avoid her at all costs. Several times, their rivalry was fueled by online influencers who compared their looks and acting skills, leading to heated arguments. They became opponents with a significant gap in ability. Even the matter of their previous relationship, them being, a childhood friend and such was revealed by Yan Shiqing herself.
The agent slapped his thigh in frustration.
Shen Qiaoyu, who was unreliable and couldn’t make a solid stand, must be terminated early if she continues to refuse the company’s conditions. This will incur a hefty breach of contract fee!
…
In the live broadcast room of the Starlight Awards at this moment, Xu Bing is dressed in a black suit, suavely walking down the red carpet. As he reaches the end of the carpet, the host kindly stops him and asks a few questions.
“May I ask if the recent online rumors are true? Did Mr. Xu really have an extramarital affair?”
“Is it true that Shen Qiaoyu developed feelings for you despite knowing that you are married?”
As soon as this question was asked, Xu Bing’s face immediately changed. After a momentary pause, he awkwardly responded, “I’m sorry, but it’s not convenient for me to answer these matters here.”
“What’s the inconvenience?” the host pressed on.
It is well-known that the Starlight Awards is notorious for stirring up controversies. As this scene unfolded, the live broadcast room quickly became more intense, and the screen was filled with a flurry of barrage comments.
[Wow, I really didn’t expect him to have the audacity to show up, what a despicable man!]
[Look at his reaction, something must be up!]
[If he dares to come, it proves that Brother Xu has nothing to be ashamed of. Maybe it was Shen Qiaoyu who seduced him?]
[Will Shen Qiaoyu come? Does she dare to come out?]
[If she doesn’t come, it just shows her guilt and confirms the rumors about her involvement!]
“I can only say that I truly love my wife and I hope everyone will not believe the rumors that are circulating.”
Xu Bing’s gaze became much more determined as he stared directly into the camera.
However, just as the host was about to move on, a sudden cry came from the photography area, instantly capturing their attention towards the red carpet behind them.
The camera in the live broadcast room also shifted accordingly.
Through the lens, countless flashes of lights were seen flickering on both sides of the red carpet. Photographers either exclaimed or got excited, continuously pressing the shutter.
In the center of the red carpet, Yan Shiqing was wearing a black high-slit gown with a deep V-neck design. Despite its extremely simple style, it paradoxically gave her an enigmatic and mysterious sense of restraint.
With her numerous strands tied up, and only a few stray hairs remaining near her ears, she had a cold and pure appearance. At the corner of her eyes, there was a tear mole, resembling a black swan that had fallen from the mortal world, or perhaps a fallen angel breaking through the darkness to step into the mortal realm. Her pupils were pitch-black, as she gracefully approached the camera.
The live-streaming room instantly erupted.
[She’s really here! She’s really here!]
[Ah! Yan Shiqing, I love you!!!]
[My dear Shiqing! Mom loves you!!!]
…
“Yan Shiqing has arrived.”
“It is Yan Shiqing.”
Upon hearing the photographers’ voices, Shen Qiaoyu turned around abruptly.
Under the dazzling lights and amidst the enthusiastic cheers, Yan Shiqing stood not far away.
Her hazel eyes were slightly curved, framed by soft, long eyelashes that hung low, giving her a harmless and gentle appearance. She smiled and nodded at her excited entourage and photographers nearby.
But when those eyes looked directly at you, they seemed to carry an electric charge, both lazy and enticing, truly captivating.
With a mixed-race beauty, she had light brown hair adorned with small curls, which shimmered like a layer of golden light under the flashing lights.
Especially when she wore a white diamond-studded chiffon gown, it almost blinded Shen Qiaoyu’s eyes.
“Damn this blinding brightness, is she here to get married?”
Shen Qiaoyu gritted her teeth and raised her hand to shield the light in front of her eyes, silently complaining in her mind.
Every time she saw this woman, nothing good ever happened.
From the transition to middle school to high school, and even the college entrance exam, no matter how well she performed, someone always suppressed her, keeping her firmly in second place and gaining the attention of everyone.
What a nemesis she was, no matter the circumstances!
Shen Qiaoyu put her hand down and prepared to walk away.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, a voice called out from behind.
“Shen Qiaoyu.”
