“What’s with your makeup?” Xia Lan was furious. How was Su Ran going to outshine Luo Ying, when the latter was dressed like this?

Therefore, she could not allow Luo Ying to walk the red carpet tonight, not looking like this.

Xia Lan, who had already made up her mind, pressed the attack. “The company has already gone through the trouble of selecting a dress and a makeup team for you. You are dismissing all their hard work by coming to the red carpet dressed like this!” The moment she opened her mouth, she immediately worked on habitually suppressing her.

Just as Luo Ying was about to speak, her sharp eyes spotted a girl who was doing a live stream. She was walking towards them. The girl was wearing the logo of the organizer’s platform. She suddenly remembered the contents of the original novel. In order to gain publicity, the organizer of this red carpet event had specially arranged for multiple staff to carry out live streams in front of the red carpet to warm up the event.

Luo Ying’s eyes flashed. “I’m sorry, Xia. I couldn’t make it to the company at the last minute, so I gave you trouble.” She paused for a moment and asked, “Is my makeup ugly? It’s embarrassing for the company. Should I change it before it starts?”

“How is it not good?” The girl in charge of the livestream had just walked over, when she heard the conversation between the two. She quickly said, “Your makeup is amazing! It’s such a pity to change it!”

Xia Lan was in a foul mood. When a third party interrupted her, she turned her head and was about to throw a tantrum when she spotted the camera. She was stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized that this was one of the many official live streams of the event. She could only suppress her anger with an ugly expression.

Luo Ying paid no heed to Xia Lan’s reaction. When she heard the girl’s praise, she happily clasped her hand. “Are you serious? Do I really look good dressed like this?” She looked like a child who was trying hard to please others.

Luo Ying’s actions struck a chord within the live streamer’s heart, as well as the hearts of the viewers. They had overheard the entire conversation of her appearance being shot down by her manager.

Just now, the manager had turned her head and glanced at the camera. That brief glimpse of her expression had been terrifying. Most people who had witnessed this scene automatically imagined a poor little artiste trembling in the hands of the manager, and then automatically placed that image on Luo Ying.

A beauty was always eye-catching, but a pitiful beauty was heart-wrenching.

The girl held Luo Ying’s hands. “It’s true. We happened to catch you on camera, and the comment section is already going wild. They all want to see the pretty lady.”

“Really?” Luo Ying showed a surprised smile, and a burst of tears flashed in her eyes. She performed tears of joy to the point.

The girl was touched and said, “You’re Luo Ying, right? During the talent show, I even voted for you, just because you’re so pretty.”

[Oh my God, she’s that Luo Ying!]

[Is Luo Ying that good-looking?]

A bunch of question marks floated through the bullet screen. They couldn’t believe that the beauty in front of them was actually Luo Ying.

“That’s right.” the staff agreed. “You’re especially beautiful today, so be more confident.”

With the live broadcast camera on, Xia Lan didn’t dare to pull Luo Ying away, even while being as disgruntled as she was. She could only watch on as Luo Ying followed the staff into the waiting area.

Luo Ying’s ranking wasn’t high, and Su Ran was a newcomer, so the two of them were arranged to be in the front. Luo Ying came in from the back door and walked forward. When she passed by other artistes, she clearly heard a few gasps.

“Luo Ying?” Compared to the others’ surprise, Su Ran’s expression was more complex. There was a hint of disgust, disdain, and a faint anger layered in her disbelief.

It was impossible for Su Ran not to know about the company’s arrangements. However, the moment she saw Luo Ying, she knew that she was going to lose on the red carpet today!

Su Ran gritted her teeth. She was about to negotiate with the company staff to see if they could be separated, but she did not expect the emcee to call out their names the next second.

Xia Lan was about to call the company to report this, but the company’s call came in first. “Su Ran is the star of the show today. Why is Luo Ying trending? What’s with her makeup?”

Xia Lan was dumbfounded. “What?”

As soon as she turned on her phone, she realized that Luo Ying had only appeared for a short while in the live broadcast. In just a few minutes, she was already trending!

It just confirmed her worse fears. Luo Ying was a person who could become famous with her face!

In a corner that she had not noticed yet, the term “Luo Ying’s manager suppressing her artistes” slowly climbed up the trending list.
