Chapter 161: Rob your grandpa
Sun Ling hugged the iPad to her chest as if she had received a very difficult task.
Tang Ze looked at her bitter face, smiled, and then glanced at the time, reminding Shi Lan, “It’s about time, let’s go out and wait backstage.”
Shi Lan nodded, got up from the sofa, with Tang Ze and Huo Zhao following behind her.
It had to be said, though it was the same body, following the soul of An Lan was completely different from following the soul of Shi Lan.
An Lan was fragile; the bigger the event, the more restrained she became.
Not like Shi Lan, who could always exude the aura of a female mogul regardless of the situation. Moreover, walking behind her, you too would exude the universe’s most swaggering confidence.
By this time, the crowd outside was mostly passers-by, interspersed with some of An Lan’s fans, a few fans of the National Couple, and die-hard fans of Gu Chengyu mixed among them, with media present as well.
The host had all the key persons of Glory come out, and finally called out An Lan’s name.
Shi Lan walked down the red carpet, was invited to the side of the host, and distantly heard the excited screams from below, with those of the passers-by being the most obvious, because Shi Lan at this moment was exceptionally eye-catching.
“This Miss is so cool!”
“Hard to believe that An Lan has changed so much in such a short time; she’s become so cold and classy, right?”
The host asked Shi Lan several routine questions, and Shi Lan answered them in a very official and satisfactory manner. However, at this moment, a few fans in the crowd, dressed very conservatively, suddenly raised placards with only one sentence: “An Lan, how sweet is the resource you’ve snatched?”
Shi Lan glanced at the sign and figured it out; these people were pretending to be Chen Beini’s fans and were putting on an act.
Seeing this, the event organizers of Glory immediately asked security to handle it, nearly causing an argument, until those few were driven away from the area, retreating under a big tree, still holding that sign.
The mogul Shi Lan acted as if she hadn’t seen the sign at all, her demeanor very steady.
Seeing this, the host finally relaxed his tense nerves and started cueing Shi Lan for the ribbon-cutting.
At this point, passers-by began sharing photos of the fans’ provocation towards An Lan online, igniting a flame war, which inadvertently dragged Chen Beini’s fans into it.
But Chen Beini’s fans, having just suffered a heavy blow and rallying behind the Annie Couple, had no intention of dealing with Shi Lan and thus felt wronged.
Chen Beini had been paying close attention to this matter and, seeing that some fans were actually causing trouble, immediately went online with excitement.
@Chen Beini’s small account: “I don’t care which idiot fan is making a scene, this resource was fought for by my cp themselves, to hell with snatching, she’s the Asia Pacific spokesperson, and I’m the image ambassador. Can’t you see who’s more prestigious?”
The netizens who had just been cursing Chen Beini: “…”
@I Really Want a Cat: “Um, Chen Beini, have you forgotten that you’re a first-tier young actress? There’s no need to stoop to this!”
@I’m Not Short, I’m Very Long: “Hahaha, I ship the Annie Couple, Chen Beini is online defending her baby, why am I feeling some love for this?”
@Where There’s Sugar, I’ll Be There: “I’m dying of laughter at Chen Beini; does it feel like she suddenly let loose? An Lan’s revengeful elegance and Chen Beini’s passion and cuteness make investing in Annie Couple worthwhile. Whatever National Couple, be gone, it’s over.”
@An Lan Fans Trembling Online: “Been touched by Chen Beini.”
@No Mole Inside: “So, the love triangle between the National Couple and An Lan has finally come to a grand finale, with Gu Chengyu being out of the picture?”
Shi Lan, standing on stage for the ribbon cutting, was completely unaware of the small explosion caused by the sign incident; she wasn’t reacting much, since she would settle this account with the entertainment reporters soon.
