Hearing the host announce her name, Tangning stood up from her chair. Holding the list of receivers in her hands, she approached the stage elegantly as everyone watched. He deliberately avoided Li Yu as they walked behind the microphone and stood in front of the screen.
Under the stage, there was a sea of stars; beijing's hottest models had gathered. As she had the opportunity to stand in such a high position, Tangning realized, as a model, she still had a long way to go.
Nearby, Mo Yurou's gaze was sharp and proud, containing a sense of disdain and ridicule. He had been waiting for this day for too long. He was going to take the trophy from Tangning's hands; the hands of a woman who always seemed to be fighting over everything with him. Once he had this trophy in his hands, it would signify the beginning of the path to glory.
"Miss Tang is very well known in Europe and the US these days due to Oriental Trends. She is also a model with a very promising future, I am very impressed with your professionalism," Li Yu said before starting to give the award. "I hope you can keep working hard."
"Thank you, Mr. Li," Tangning replied in a calm and polite tone; she stood guard around Li Yu.
"You are a miracle. Believe me, luck is on your side .." said Li Yu, hiding a deeper meaning as he gestured for her to announce the list of receivers. By allowing her to make an announcement, she complied with Mo Yurou's request as well as showing her respect for Tangning.
Tangning smiled as she opened the envelope in her hand. She issued a list of recipients and announced, "The 7th Annual Model Award of Top Ten Model Recipients is..."
One after another photos of models and their names appear on the big screen showcasing some of their best work. Mo Yurou was the last. From the looks of it, it was obvious he had been forced in. She crawled up and among her works on display was the cover of Oriental Trends magazine.
Under the stage, everyone giggled. On seeing the cover, she once again became a joke as everyone was reminded of how she did not accept the mention.
Tangning looked very lively, while she became a human background.
Under the spotlight, the Top Ten Models took to the stage in the order their names were announced. Meanwhile, ten beautiful female assistants came out carrying ten trophies and flowers. Tangning followed orders and handed the trophies one by one, from left to right. Mo Yurou was last and her heart felt like it was going to stop.
He'll make it...
He'll make it soon...
Seeing Tangning step closer and closer and hearing the applause of the audience, Mo Yurou felt a little nauseous as her mind went blank. An overwhelming feeling of joy struck him like a storm that destroyed everything he went through...
Finally, Tangning stood in front of Mo Yurou. After smiling gently at him, he extended his hand, "Congratulations."
Afterwards, Tangning handed him a bunch of flowers before handing the trophy to him. However, as Mo Yurou stretched out her hand and touched the trophy, a young man immediately ran onto the stage and whispered something into Tangning's ear. Tangning immediately pulled the trophy from Mo Yurou.
Seeing this scene unfold, the audience was stunned ...
What the hell's going on? Why didn't he give me an award? Why would Tangning take back the award? Wasn't Mo Yurou supposed to receive the award?
Could Tangning be jealous of Mo Yurou for accepting the award and signing a contract with a new company?
He can't be that stupid, right?
"Do you really not understand what this means? This award ... won't be given to you," Tangning smirked as she replied gently in a sure-fire way.
Will not be presented...
Will not be presented to you ...
Everyone watched, confused by what was happening. Most people just watch both of them do the show.
What the hell is going on?
While everyone was questioning the situation and Mo Yurou looked on in frustration, the man who whispered something to Tangning, once again approached the stage while holding some documents. Instead of presenting the information first, he turned to the audience and announced, "Mo Yurou is disqualified from receiving the award!"
Mo Yurou was dumbfounded, what is this?
The trophy was already in his hands, why was he disqualified?
Unknowingly, Mo Yurou focused her hatred on Tangning as she charged in a loud voice, "Tangning, is that you? Did you do something behind the scenes? What kind of garbage award is this? How could you disqualify me like that? Where are the judges?"
Mo Yurou let go of her emotions on stage in front of everyone because she did not believe the award she wanted for so long; the award she had sacrificed so much; the award that was almost in her hands, just disappear. He didn't want to accept it, he couldn't believe it! She reached out her hand and shook Tangning's arm, "Tangning, are you doing this to me? Is that you?"
Tangning let him shake her without retaliation; her arms began to bruise, yet she did not fight back. Mo Yurou finally tripped on her own dress and fell to the ground, but no one helped her because she was too emotional, "What this Annual Model Award is, it has no authority at all, she said, how could they disqualify someone like this? ?"
"I want to sue you, I want you to apologize to me!"
Apologizing? Most of the people below the stage looked at him amusedly; he was too arrogant.
"I'll sue you!" Mo Yurou's sharp voice echoed throughout the hall.
"Before Miss Mo sues us, I would like to make an announcement on behalf of the Annual Model Awards. On the screen behind me is the rule for award selection: pregnant models are not allowed to compete. However, I want everyone to do it. look at the pregnancy report on my hands. It is clearly stated here that Miss Mo Yurou has been pregnant since July. That is, she put forward consideration even though she knew she was pregnant; this is what you call lying!"
"So, after discussing with the organizing committee, we have decided to disqualify Miss Mo Yurou and will resolutely deal with this shocking behavior," the man announced loudly. "She will be the first blacklisted model of the Annual Model Awards. After all this, we will release an official statement ... In other words, Miss Mo Yurou should no longer dream of becoming a model. This lousy artist did not uphold his responsibilities to the public."
Just a few short words like a rain of grenades; there was no way to avoid its power.
Everyone quickly realized what had happened...Mo Yurou was pregnant...
Stealing someone else's man and getting pregnant before marriage was bad enough, yet she even tried to lie to receive an award!
