Chen Yu was straightforward, “You seem off today, Xia Yangyang, what exactly are you up to?”
Xia Yangyang just smiled, “You’ll know soon enough, but I would like to ask for a small favor.”
Chen Yu saw Xia Yangyang’s cryptic behavior and couldn’t help but frown.
The grand hall was a large auditorium.
Everyone’s seating was already established.
Xia Yangyang and Chen Yu’s seats were in the first row.
Shen Manbing’s seat was two seats away from Xia Yangyang.
Currently, it remained unoccupied.
Celebrities started to pour in steadily on the red carpet.
Xia Yangyang was almost able to see all the stars in the industry.
Of course, there were also famous directors and producers.
Xia Yangyang also spotted Shen Shichuan.
He was currently engaged in conversation with Director Feng.
Xia Yangyang and Chen Yu went over to say hello.
Everyone chatted for a while and then returned to their seats.
However, nobody mentioned the red carpet dress tripping incident.
There was a large stage at the front of the venue.
The opening show was just getting started.
When most of the attendees were present, the host appeared on stage.
Shen Manbing’s seat was still vacant.
Xia Yangyang even heard some female celebrities whispering around her.
“The Heavenly Queen probably won’t show up. In all her years in showbiz, no one has dared to embarrass her. This Xia Yangyang has really offended her now.”
“She has the backing of the Gu Family, who wouldn’t be afraid of the Heavenly Queen with such strong support?”
“Are you sure this ace up her sleeve will stand firm? Today, Mr. Gu came with the Heavenly Queen, what does that say?”
“Anyway, we’ll find out tonight. One of the two will have to leave the entertainment circle, which might not necessarily be a bad thing for us.”
Xia Yangyang purposely glance in that direction.
The group of brightly dressed girls instantly went quiet, even flashing Xia Yangyang very friendly smiles.
Soon, the banquet officially began and the host began his opening speech.
Halfway through the host’s speech,
The doors of the venue suddenly swung open.
The flashing spotlights burst in.
And at that moment, Shen Manbing appeared amidst those dazzling lights, moving slowly.
She wore a new flame-red dress. Her waterfall-like curly hair cascaded down. There was a noble coldness in her eyes, she approached, each step as though she was treading on clouds, as if she was naturally above everyone else, breathtakingly beautiful.
There was not a trace of her previous embarrassment on the red carpet.
Standing by her side was still the CEO of Shengyuan, Gu Qichen.
Gu Qichen was also dressed in a suit and tie, looking noble and dignified, naturally elegant.
At first glance, they indeed looked like a pair of distinguished talents, a match made in heaven.
All eyes were drawn to the duo.
Even the host on stage paused for a few minutes.
Then openly remarked, “The Heavenly Queen indeed dazzles today, murdering countless rolls of film.”
Shen Manbing finally took her seat.
As she passed by Xia Yangyang, she gave her a contemptuous look.
The Film and Television Grand Ceremony officially began.
The opening performance was the comeback single of Guo Xuehua, the King of Singers, after a decade-long hiatus.
As expected of the King of Singers, the entire venue went silent as soon as he sang.
Then came some advertisements, followed by the award presentation.
The SH Film and Television Grand Ceremony had more than twenty awards.
The Best Actress and Best Actor were the last two awards.
In between, there were numerous performances and thank you ceremonies.
In a blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
To everyone’s surprise, both Shen Manbing and Xia Yangyang were nowhere to be seen from their seats at this moment.
