At this moment, a sharp voice under the stage sounded harsh, "Who knows if that"s true. They appear to be so in love in front of us, but G.o.d knows whether they still are back home!"
The voice was not particularly loud but it was enough for the people on stage to hear it clearly.
Gong Yu"s eyes suddenly went stone-cold, sharply directed at the source of the sound. It turned out to be that woman again, who was like a fly that annoyed people everywhere.
And the people under stage turned over curiously, but Hailian pretended to be cool as if nothing happened when she met their eyes.
Murong Ye, who was already off the stage, looked a thousand times colder. His fearful breaths were like that of the Death, quickly spreading through the entire stadium.
The freezing voice of Murong Ye pa.s.sed through slowly. "Say that again!"
At one moment, Hailian felt as if she were in a frozen h.e.l.l. She could clearly sense the tingling from her scalp, and the hair on her entire body was standing on end. A wave of piercing cold went straight to her bones, and then immediately to her heart.
Hailian had to whisper, "I"m being honest! Yun Muxi"s dress is obviously so expensive that Gong Yu can"t afford it. It must be from some moneybag, or they definitely won"t be able to buy that dress. If Gong Yu does not care about his woman having an affair, who knows whether they are still actually in love!"
"I gave her that dress! Do you have a problem?" Murong Ye squinted angrily, who was utterly p.i.s.sed off by Hailian"s words.
But those words from Murong Ye stunned not only Hailian but also everybody present. "Murong Ye should admit he gave her the dress! Then it is a sure thing that Murong Ye can afford that. But what actually happened to the relationship between Murong Ye and Murong Yundi?"
Everyone was suspicious in their hearts, and they speculated about the relationship between Murong Yunxi and Murong Ye. But when they looked at Murong Ye, they didn"t dare to speak out, and it was so hard for them to hold it inside.
Right now Hailian had no alternative but to continue, for she knew that she already made Murong Ye infuriated. She might as well keep on shooting straight from the lip. "Murong Yunxi is Gong Yu"s wife, but she is now fraternizing with you. What a s.l.u.tty woman! She is so good at playing tricks."
Murong Ye faintly smiled. But that smile was as cold as the call of the Death, so scary and intimidating.
"What if Xiao Xi is my little sister?"
Hailian had a strong sense of uneasiness. In fact, many people had already had this kind of speculation, since that person inadvertently said that the two people were very similar.
It"s just that at this moment Hailian was not willing to admit this possibility. She was still making a scene."How could it be? Yun Muxi"s family name is Yun, and yours is Murong, how could you two be siblings?"
looking at Hailian, Murong Ye was almost speechless. "How can there be such a stupid person in the world, still holding on after all the implications." The people around her looked at Hailian as if she were an idiot. Even a male star who had cooperated with Hailian even pulled her arm gently, suggesting she should quit it right now and apologize to Murong Ye and Murong Yunxi immediately.
But Hailian was a loose cannon, still insisting on her own theory. But n.o.body knew what"s that for.
"What if I tell you, her real name is Murong Yunxi?"
Hailian was not sure how to insist on it at this moment. She tried to find reasons for herself, but she was admittedly too outrageous. It would be impossible for her to explain it all away even if she wanted to.
Yun Muxi was probably the stage name Murong Yunxi gave herself. She inserted her family in the middle, and the two names were quite similar.
In fact, all people believed that was the truth. They felt it was normal that Murong Yunxi chose that name because Murong Yunxi was keeping a low profile and didn"t want to expose her ident.i.ty as a daughter of the Murong Family.
But n.o.body knew that Yun was the family name of Murong Yunxi"s foster father, and she was a child who had just returned to the Murong Family.
But it was this misunderstanding that let everyone thought Murong Yunxiao was such a low-key person, which made them appreciate and like her more, and despised Hailian for getting suspicious over nothing.
Hailian couldn"t believe her ears. She was left standing rigidly, having no idea what to do.
The host was shocked by the whole thing. And it was the director of the ceremony who reminded her to stop everything from going worse.
The host quickly sent Gong Yu off the stage, and made the whole ceremony resume. She invited Murong Ye on the stage once again, and asked him to announce the winner of the best leading actress.
After all, Murong Ye was a seasoned man, who had regained his good manners after this incident. But the restored peace didn"t mean that he had let go. Hailian must answer to her reckless behaviors tonight.
But it didn"t mean that all the others could be cool again like Murong Ye. They couldn"t process that in a time in the face of this exploding news.
This was the Murong Family. And what did it mean? Some said that the Murong Family was as wealthy as a king, and their decision could affect the global economy; that they were doing all kinds of business; that they reached almost every corner of the world, and they had business in nearly every big country; and that they were affiliated with both the government and the gangsters.
Murong Yunxi didn"t expect that Murong Ye would reveal her ident.i.ty on this occasion. For many years many people still called her Yun Muxi. She didn"t correct them because of one thing, she was indeed a low-key person and didn"t want to stand in the spotlight all of a sudden; for another, Murong Ye didn"t disclose her ident.i.ty. So, this whole thing was kept a secret between some major family members.
When Murng Ye spit it all out on this occasion, she was a bit surprised, but didn"t act like it. She was still cool and calm. Watching Gong Yu going off the stage and back to her side, she smiled softly and held his hands. The things were just as sweet as before.
Murong Ye took the envelope from the host, opened it and took out the card. He looked around the audience, and said slowly, "The best leading actress of this year goes to…"
Murong Ye looked at the crowd, and his eyes stopped at Murong Yunxi.
The calm and cold voice of Murong Ye finally dragged Hailian back from staring at Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu. She looked at Murong Ye on the stage, and forgot everything that just happened. She was tense and expectant.
It should be her moment now. She would win the prize, shake off all the troubles, and stomp on Murong Yunxi, even though she was the Young Miss of the Murong Family, but so what?!
Thinking of that, Hailian smiled. She had prepared for everything.
Murong Ye continued slowly. "The best actress goes to Yun Muxi from Where Does Love Belong?."
After announcing the winner, Murong Ye smiled softly. His cold expression was gone, and that smile made him look all the more handsome.
Some female stars had been totally overwhelmed, and even started to fantasize how happy they would be if they could marry such a man. They had forgotten his death-like coldness, and believed that this smiling man was his true self.
Half the crowd was swept off their feet by Murong Ye, making only men pay attention to the winner of the best leading actress. The women left who had not yet surrendered to his charms were Murong Yunxi and Hailian.
Hearing the result, Hailian was completely astonished. "How could it be?"
Hailian shook her head several times before she realized that it was indeed the result announced by Murong Ye. She started to remember what happened a few days ago.
She was in that old man"s arms. His pungent odor was revolting, his fat body was insufferable, and his black and yellow teeth were disgusting.
He swore, touched her with his rough hands like a pervert, and spoke dirty words to her that was so repelling.
She didn"t even know how could she stand such a disgusting man and do disgusting things with him. He even had creepy interests in bed, asking her to do things n.o.body could understand. But she endured them all for today. She couldn"t get out of bed for three days.
However, Murong Ye did not say her name. "Why?!"
Hailian suddenly stood up, and saw Gong Yu kiss Murong Yunxi on the forehead and watch her walk slowly onto the stage. When stepping onto that stage again, she seemed to have a much more powerful vibe. No one knew whether it was because of her family name Murong, or it was simply because she was more confident at this moment.
All in all, she was like a real angel, glowing all over her body, so shiny that it hurt people" eyes, but too beautiful for them to look away.
Murong Yunxi stood beside Murong Ye, who gave her a hug. They standing together made people convinced that they were truly brother and sister. Many started to wonder why they didn"t find out their relations when the two people looked so alike.
Even the cold voice of Murong Ye became soft at this moment. "Congratulations! You are the best!"
Murong Yunxi smiled brightly like the sun, beaming out warmth and light, which shocked the entire audience once more. Murong Yunxi was indeed very beautiful. She really outshined the whole stadium.
"Thank you!" Murong Yunxi smiled and looked at Murong Ye.
Murong Ye took the trophy and gently put it in Murong Yunxi"s hands. It was obvious that his gentleness belonged to Murong Yunxi only, not even Gong Yu whom he just presented the award.
Hailian suddenly could not control herself anymore. She burst out saying, "No way! The best leading actress can"t be her! She must have cheated. There must be some backdoor dealings."
