The enormous sound of applause drilled deep into Gu Weiwei’s heart. With every clap she felt a tremendous amount of pain.
She gazed at Ling Yan and Gu Siting who walked onto the stage arm in arm under the spotlight.
After the host invited the two of them up onto the stage, she did not let them do the revealing of the Movie Queen and King straightaway.
“Movie Queen Ling, what would you like to say for when you are back on the stage again?”
Standing in front of the microphone, Ling Yan showed a strong smile.
“I believe that everyone present here understands that I used to be a girl with a serious heart disease. My doctor told me last year that I only had two years left to live.”
“I had always dreamt about living healthily, like every other girl, so that I could pursue my own dreams, experience the most desirable love, and discover everything pleasant in the world.”
“However, I could not do so back then. My blood type made sure that I was not able to get a heart transplant, so that I was only allowed to wait for death every single day.”
“Maybe God had pity on me, so that when I was fully ready to welcome death, I was given another opportunity to live on.” Ling Yan felt her heart and said, with tears in her eyes, “I am very thankful to the girl who gave me her heart, so that I am able to live on and to have the chance of having my dreams, and everything that I never dared to dream about, come true…”
She got stuck between sobs and glanced at Gu Siting who was standing next to her.
On the big screen, the couple looked at each other with deep affection and their hands were tightly held together.
Dressed in a white suit that had black lapels, Gu Siting was elegantly standing on the stage like a complete gentleman.
He was better-looking than any other male star seated below, and he had an even better sense of grace.
Staring at the woman who had dug out her heart and was expressing words of gratitude in such a pretentious way, Gu Weiwei sneered.
Just wait and see, Ling Yan.
You will lose everything you have gained because of me in an even worse way.
Your dream as an actress, your love and your life…
Everything will be destroyed.
The host had tears in her eyes as she heard the speech, so she said after wiping the tears at the corner of her eyes.
“Thank God that our legendary Movie Queen is still here. I truly believe that soon in the future, she will bring us even more legendary tales.”
Numerous filmmakers kept clapping constantly down in the seating area.
The host asked everyone to finish clapping whilst saying, “That’s all for the speech, let’s welcome Ling Yan and Mr. Gu to reveal the winners of the Movie Queen and King.”
Fu Shiyi said with clenched teeth as he held the trophy and looked at the couple on the stage.
“Ah, damn it, I’m really itching to hit that Gu person with my trophy…”
Gu Weiwei felt helpless at his words, even though she was also in a very bad mood.
“Don’t be silly, alright?”
“I never feel good seeing him.”
Fu Shiyi said as he brought out his phone and took some selfies.
“What are you doing?”
Gu Weiwei just could not understand how someone can be so obsessed with his own pictures.
“I am trying to cure my mood by admiring my own looks.”
Fu Shiyi said as he took another selfie.
“…” Gu Weiwei was speechless.
She did not think that there was anyone who was more self-obsessed, than this man.
Gu Weiwei and Fu Shiyi did not pay attention to the award ceremony anymore, for they were so busy squabbling with each other.
When the ceremony finished, Yi An introduced her to a director friend.
As the two of them walked out of the venue, she walked downstairs with the hem of her dress in her hands and heard Fu Shiyi calling out to her.
“Here, Weiwei!”
Gu Siting was just leaving with Ling Yan in the rest of the crowd when he heard the voice. He turned around and glanced about amongst the crowd.
He seemed to be looking something.
