Yeah, acting, which one of them isn't acting? Some people might be moved by true love, but who didn't need to show their gratitude? The feeling of receiving a prize a thousand times was indescribable.

Lu Qingzhou sat in silence for an hour. The atmosphere in the venue was so lively that everyone who came up cheered. Every time the host spoke, it was just right to make people laugh until it was Ding Lei's turn.

Lu Qingzhou did not recognize him, but upon seeing him on stage, her face instantly lost all color. The merriment had made her forget for a moment what she had heard Tinley talk, and now that he was on stage, the words were still in her ears.

[I was invited to present the award to Director Feng today. In the four years since our debut, we have won countless awards, and now the shadow media has become even more amazing. I wonder if Boss Feng will come today? This was such an important occasion, why couldn't he explain it? I'm not a reporter, so you have to believe what you say. After all, there's still the boss up there. I, am the boss, do you think I would believe your lies?]

When Ding Lei was speaking to her, Lu Qingzhou was not there. At that time, his face was so close to her nose that it was as though he wanted to grab her breath. Su Ying's whole body broke out in a cold sweat after hearing what he said. That man usually looked carefree and carefree, but he was also a ruthless character in the shopping mall. She knew from this that he was the current financial backer of Yue Ling. This time, he was in big trouble.

Su Ying hastily sent a message to Feng Ziyan, but that bastard only pretended to be dead or not on his phone, so he didn't even know if he had charged her. Two minutes before the meeting, she was greeted by people everywhere. She didn't even have a chance to make a phone call.

Su Ying clenched her fists. Even when Lu Qingzhou was sitting beside her, he could feel her nervousness. She couldn't help but ask her in concern, but Suo Ying forced out a smile and said she was fine. Then she fixed her gaze on Ding Lei, her heart beating like a drum. Ever since she started dealing with the Feng brothers, she had been dealing with a lot of troublesome matters, so she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to pass the test today. If Ding Lei went on stage and shouted at Feng Ziyan to receive the award, even if the host could use his humorous words to ridicule him, who could guarantee that the media reporters wouldn't make a fuss out of it?

Feng Ziyan had done everything he could to this day, but he hadn't given up on the ceremony. Unless they were dead, who would not have their heads cut off and drilled in, and who would not go if they received the notice that Hollywood was going to hit the red carpet?

Su Ying felt her hand was full of sweat and was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out.

[I'm sure everyone is looking forward to this award.]

After Ding Lei said this, he intentionally kept everyone in suspense for a while. The crowd once again burst into laughter. After the laughter ended, there was dead silence. Everyone was holding their breath as they listened to what he was going to say.

[Every year, we look forward to the birth of our annual film empress. They didn't disappoint us.] I believe that the people chosen every year are very much in line with what we believe to be the positions of the film empress. Therefore, today I am very excited to be invited to present the annual film empress award. This year, the winner of the annual film empress award is —]

Everyone kept quiet. Ding Lei tightly held the trophy in his hand, smiled and bent over to look at the microphone in all directions. The music backstage played a fast paced beat. Lu Qingzhou also perked up her ears, wanting to know who the award would be given to.

[Miss Shao Yulu.]

Applause filled the air. Lu Qingzhou concealed the unhappiness in his heart as he stood up and applauded with everyone. Shao Yulu turned around and bowed behind her. From the corner of her eyes, she did not even leave Lu Qingzhou with a single hint of a bow. It was probably as everyone had said. Shao Yulu carried her long skirt and wore a red evening dress as she slowly walked up on stage.

Her eyes were filled with enchantment, and the flow of her gaze was filled with surprise. Soon, her watery eyes were filled with tears, but they never spilled out. They kept rolling between her eyes, never falling down. This made her eyes seem even more beautiful and charming.

Ding Lei saw the rain and dew that was slowly approaching him. His heart jumped.

When he was invited to participate in the company's annual meeting, he had already noticed her. Since he didn't want to chat with Yue Ling, he could only watch as the beauty walked further and further away.

At the moment her hand touched the trophy, it was unknown if she intentionally or unintentionally used her fingertip to stroke Ding Lei's thumb. In that instant, a numb feeling passed through his entire body from the tip of her finger, and his pupils constricted.

Especially when she let her body sway in front of him by the light of the lamp, he found it hard to control his emotions. He swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva as his Adam's apple slid up and down.

[Thank you!]

Yu Yu Lu's unspoken tears flowed first. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes as if she didn't need money, and a tear line appeared on her face. She held the trophy in one hand and her chest with the other. She was choked with sobs and could not speak. The audience immediately burst into applause.

[Miss Shao Yulu is probably too excited, it doesn't matter, the trophy is still in your hand, let's take it home slowly.]

The host continued his humour. Laughter rose and fell from the audience, and Ding Lei took the lead to clap. After three claps, Shao Yu Lu forcefully held back her tears.

"I was really excited today. I didn't expect such a precious prize to be given to me."

Tears flickered on Shao Yu Lu's face as her chest rose and fell. The hosts closest to her couldn't help but raise their hands to support their noses, fearing that there would be red liquid spewing out. After that, they began to pull on their pants without leaving a trace …

[First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Dink. He was the one who handed the trophy to me, thank you!]

Shao Yu Lu deeply bowed towards Ding Lei, the two lumps on her chest could no longer hide, and Ding Lei's wish was fulfilled as he saw two dark red dots. He couldn't help but tighten his legs and nod at her with a smile.

[Next up, thank you for giving me the chance...]

Her acceptance speech lasted for at least twenty minutes. Lu Qingzhou examined her every expression, every action, and the big screen where Shao Yulu's face was clearly reflected in everyone's eyes. She could not say that she was acting, she could only describe her with the words of Soo Ying.

Lu Qingzhou thought that even if she worked hard for another ten years, she would not be able to achieve anything. She treated acting as a part of herself, and it was always a part of the show wherever she went.

But unfortunately, she, Lu Qingzhou, also wanted to be him. She wanted others to see her true self, the world had too many false and superficial things, and she thought she would not express what the world wanted.
