Complete silence fell in the hall with the announcement of Su Yuchen that Zhou Mingyu was the winner of the best actress award. No one expected this decision, literally no one.

Her career was over, no one liked her acting then how could she win the best actress award?

The hosts presented on the stage were also shocked. They walked towards the centre of the stage and s.n.a.t.c.hed the card from the hand of Su Yuchen, to check that what he said was true or not.

They were also shocked to see the name of Zhou Mingyu written below the best actress.

Xin Mei froze upon her seat when she heard the name of Zhou Mingyu. She looked at Su Yuchen and then looked down with pain. Her dream had yet again come true. But how?

Xin Mei had tried so hard to end the career of Zhou Mingyu then how could she get a chance to rise again?

"Xiao Mei, I am sure there is some mistake." Su Zixin held on the hand of Xin Mei and looked in the direction of Zhou Mingyu.

Zhou Mingyu stood up from her seat and started to waive her hand. She acted as if everyone was praising her where the hall was pin-drop silent. She forcefully hugged director Zhang who was more than in shock. 

Waiving her hand around like a famous star, Zhou Mingyu climbed on the stage. She tucked her hairs behind her ears and smiled brightly. She forwarded her hand to accept the trophy from the hands of Su Yuchen.

"Miss Zhou, before giving you this trophy, I will like to hear your award-winning speech."

Zhou Mingyu smiled brightly and took the microphone. "I will like to thank all my fans for showering their love on me. I know I am still the most liked actress here and I promise to keep entertaining my fans with my superb acting."

Zhou Mingyu was self praising herself. Many actress covered their lips and started to chuckle at the foolishness of Zhou Mingyu. With the way she was smiling, they could say she had already gone mad.

"Now my trophy," Zhou Mingyu again forwarded her hand for Su Yuchen but he smirked. His smirk was what made Xin Mei calm and relief flooded in her heart.

At that moment, she realised that something was cooking in the mind of Su Yuchen. Zhou Mingyu won this award only because of him.

"Why so much hurry miss Zhou? I have received a video in the morning and I wanted to show it to you and every guest present here."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words of Su Yuchen. They started to look at the large screen with curiosity to know what more drama was going to be unfolded.

Huang Chu had ready signalled to the projector manager and soon, a video started to play on the screen. Zhou Mingyu froze when she saw the video.

"Mister Kong, I don"t know anything. I want to win this award at all the cost." 

Zhou Mingyu was sitting in a café opposite to mister Kong, one of the judge jury members. The video was of high quality so everyone could easily recognize them. Their voices were also clear.

"Any cost?" Mister Kong chuckled. "Will you sale yourself to me for a night?"

"Yes, I will."

"So desperate! You are married and pregnant, still ready to lay on my bed. I like it."

Then the video showed the clips where Zhou Mingyu entered the room of Mister Kong and sold herself to him for one night in the exchange to win this award.

On the stage, Zhou Mingyu became all pale and fear appeared on her face. Qian Fan also became pale. He thought she was mad. He never thought she would go so low as to sleep with a stranger, even when she was married to him.

"Lie…this…this is a lie…" Zhou Mingyu stuttered and her breathing became heavy. "This video is a lie. It is fabricated. I did nothing like this and even if I did, so what?" she yelled like crazy.

"I deserve this award. No one else. I deserve the crown of best actress." She s.n.a.t.c.hed the trophy from the hand of Su Yuchen and started to laugh like a manic.

Gasps filled in the hall. Xin Mei and Su Yuchen were looking at her with satisfaction in their eyes. They love it how they were able to kill the soul of Zhou Mingyu, making her insane and this was what she deserved.

Zhou Mingyu started to laugh and act like a manic. Soon she was thrown out of the award hall by the guards. The organizers were also shocked by the realization and they apologized profoundly. 

"We are very sorry for the misconduct of one of our judges. We promise to take strict action regarding him." The management bowed. 

The judging panel was organized on the stage and on the spot, they announced that the winner was Xin Mei.

Xin Mei did not want to receive this reward. She lost the importance of this award the moment the name of Zhou Mingyu was announced. She did not need any trophy to announce that she was the best actress.

She was conflicting if she should receive the award or not when she heard the voice of Su Yuchen. "Miss Xin, please climb upon the stage and take your trophy. You deserve it."

Hearing him, Xin Mei smiled and made her way towards the stage. She smiled at Su Yuchen who gave the trophy to her. The guards who were among the guests clicked many photos of Su Yuchen and Xin Mei at that iconic moment.

Xin Mei smiled and took the trophy and microphone from his hand. 

"I don"t know what to say," Xin Mei shrugged her shoulders. "Like you all, I am not feeling quite satisfied with this award but still I am accepting it for my fans who have showered their love to me."

"I would like to dedicate this award to my parents who had always let me do whatever I wanted. They have always supported my all decisions. Next, I will thank Ye gege, thank you gege for always trusting me. Thank you for recommending this good script of Revenge to me."

Xin Mei gave her thanking speech and thanked everyone.

"Last but not the least, I will thank Mister Su for trusting me, for giving his support to me."

Xin Mei bowed to the guests and made her way down the stage. The organizers again asked forgiveness from everyone and promised to change their judging panel.

A party was organized after the award show, for the winners. Su Zixin and Xin Mei stayed at the party for some time. They met some directors and producers before quickly leaving the party.

They then made their way towards the hotel where another party was organized by Su Yuchen for team revenge which won the most awards today.

Su Zixin, Xin Mei and Su Yuchen stayed at the party for sometime before leaving for home. In the closed wall of their home, they celebrated their victory.

Su Zixin was also excited for the fall of Zhou Mingyu. They knew Zhou Mingyu would never be able to rise in the film industry. Also, she would now lose the support of the Qian family. She would have no one beside her.

The next day, news channels were full of breaking news which shock the film industry as well as the business world.
