Chapter 226: Finale (2)
Two minutes later, the screen went back to its original image. The host continuously apologized and said, “Mr. Huang, please announce the actress who obtained the Best Female Lead Award!”
Huang Chu’s face remained unmoved and calm. He stood on stage and announced, “This year’s Best Female Lead Award goes to 《Pomengerate Tree》’s Miss. Qiao Moyu. Let us congratulate her!”
The light shone on Qiao Moyu and the screen exposed her expression.
She wore a champagne color diamond cheongsam. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail. She was fresh and pure but revealing a tint of n.o.bleness. She displayed her s.e.xy figure to its utmost wearing a long dress. Compared to her normal fresh look, she attracted everyone’s attention today.
Outside the banquet, by a certain mall’s LED screen, Qiao Rouhuan stared at Qiao Moyu and her eyes were filled with jealousy.
She always knew how beautiful Qiao Moyu was. She could handle any style and still manage to look beautiful.
But she never knew how shaking to the core Qiao Moyu was when she purposefully dressed herself up.
Qiao Rouhuan’s nails dug deeply into her skin. The pain took away her sorrow and made her happy again.
So what if Qiao Moyu was beautiful? So what if she was the Film Empress? Her reputation had gone down the drains!
She had a child but still seduced Ye Peicheng. Just based on this, it was enough for her reputation to hit rock bottom and for Ye Peicheng’s fans to bury her alive with their spit!
Because of this, she found it worth her money to hire internet water armies and a spot on the hot search. She even bribed the staff of the committee to put Qiao Moyu’s pictures on the screen. She ruthlessly threw shade at Qiao Moyu!
The early spring evening was still very cold. Qiao Rouhuan stood on street and continued to watch this.
Right now, Qiao Moyu was under the limelight and she elegantly walked to the stage.
Huang Chu placed the crystal trophy in Qiao Moyu’s hands and excitedly reached over to hug her. Then, he left the stage even though he wished to stay longer.
In Ye Residence, when Father Ye saw this scene, he called Huang Chu an old b.a.s.t.a.r.d. But momentarily later, he placed his attention on the screen again.
He didn’t know what his son had planned. Why hasn’t he done anything yet? But since Ye Peicheng told him not to worry, he would patiently wait.
Qiao Moyu stood in front of the microphone and faintly smiled. “To speak the truth, I have been looking forward to this award but I didn’t dare to think about it…”
She had a calm expression as though she wasn’t influenced by what just happened. In the end, she smiled and humorously said, “Does everyone believe that I am able to stand here because I conducted an eye-opening ceremony for myself? I actually thought of this before but I didn’t have enough powers. Just like how doctors don’t save themselves. I really can’t do that for myself…”
“《Pomengerate Tree》will be in the theaters in about a week. Hopefully, we can talk about the plot and acting after everyone watches the drama. Can we do that?”
“In the end, I want to thank everyone who has helped me since I entered the entertainment circle! A special thanks to Director Zhang, Director Cheng, and Mr. Ye Peicheng. They helped me improve my acting skills! Thank you everyone!”
She bowed towards the audience.
When everyone heard her mention Ye Peicheng, they had different expressions. In such an awkward moment like this, she didn’t avoid his name. What did this mean?
Was it possible that Ye Peicheng knew that she had a child and even accepted the kid?!
While everyone was guessing, by the side of the stage, there was a man wearing a black suit holding a bouquet of red roses. He slowly walked over.
The light shone on him. When everyone saw the man’s handsome face, they all gasped.
Ye Peicheng!
Ye Peicheng carried a bouquet of flowers and stood in front of Qiao Moyu. He gave her the flowers and said, “Moyu, congratulations!”
Qiao Moyu took it from him. In that moment, everyone saw Qiao Moyu and Ye Peicheng’s rings on their ring fingers. They had the same style!
At this point, the host walked over and asked, “Mr. Ye, are you giving Moyu flowers as her male friend or her boyfriend?”
Ye Peicheng took the microphone over. Although he was answering the host’s question, his gaze never left Qiao Moyu. There was a smile on his face and he looked deeply at her. “I am not her male friend or her boyfriend. Today, I am giving Moyu flowers as her husband!”
The a.s.sembly hall was silent after he said this. One could hear a needle dropping.
Outside, Qiao Rouhuan couldn’t believe her ears. She was stunned and stared at Ye Peicheng through the screen. She wanted to see if he was fake or a subst.i.tute. But she failed!
In the hall, Ye Peicheng continued, “At the same time, being Moyu’s child’s father, I am giving flowers to my son’s mother!”
The silent a.s.sembly hall exploded right then.
