"When I went up on stage to accept the award earlier, I saw the face of Shang Ling, the 'Most Charismatic Actress of the Year'. I never expected that her glamorous photos plastered all over the trending searches were all photoshopped. Up close, there were three thick layers of makeup on her face, and she even had crow's feet and laugh lines, huh..."
He shuddered as if the image had suddenly come back to him.
On stage, the host read the last page of his cue card and grandly announced the male and female stars of the nightโthe showstoppersโJiang Wanze and Cheng Jingshu.
At the mention of Cheng Jingshu's name, Ye Xian's attention divided, and she looked straight up at the stage.
Today, Cheng Jingshu was wearing an off-the-shoulder, lake blue fairy dress and had her hair done up in an elegant and poised style. As she picked up her dress and walked step by step onto the stage, she carried an air of grace and ease, her smile as gentle and warm as the blooming of spring flowersโtruly a gentle goddess.
It was just really hard to associate such an image with the vicious woman who had been seen cornering a young assistant with a twisted face behind the toilets.
What a 'good actor' she was.
Offstage or onstage, she was fully committed to her role.
After Cary shared the gossip with great interest, he realized that Ye Xian wasn't listening but was looking at Cheng Jingshu on stage with disgust.
"Hey, what are you doing? You're not listening to me, are you?"
He slapped her dissatisfiedly.
Only then did Ye Xian come back to her senses, "Huh? Say that again."
"Bullshit, Ye Xian, are you jealous that Sister Jingshu gets to stand on the stage next to the captain to receive the award? Let me tell you, don't even dream about such things. I thought you'd turned over a new leaf and stopped pestering the captain, but it turns out a leopard can't change its spots."
Ye Xian looked at him with amusement, thinking how rich his imagination was.
