Nothing eventful happened after that.

There was an award ceremony after the few acts on stage.

Lin Xiaowan was a little confused as she looked at the variety of awards that were given out. She leaned over and said to Gu Yuwu, “There are so many awards…”

Lin Xiaowan knew that there were many awards in the entertainment industry. She had seen the news about it, which was always a hot topic, on her phone.

“The awards given by different organizations have different values. Winning an award is also an affirmation of one’s abilities. Apart from that, their status will also rise. They’ll be able to attract sponsors.”

“Oh…”

Lin Xiaowan looked at the three young actors who were receiving awards whom she did not know. After a while, she asked curiously, “What do you mean by sponsors?”

Gu Yuwu explained patiently, “Sponsors are companies that choose celebrities to represent them and promote their brands. For example, Sang Xiyue is the spokesperson of the Swan Collection that you’re wearing…”

Gu Yuwu rolled her eyes as she continued to say, “However, I think there’s something wrong with Sang Xiyue. Her brain seems a little underdeveloped.” Lin Xiaowan knew Sang Xiyue. Sang Xiyue was of mixed race, and she was very beautiful. However, her acting left a lot to be desired. Lin Xiaowan had watched an idol drama that Sang Xiyue acted in, Although the reviews were very good, Lin Xiaowan did not really like it.

Coincidentally, just after the duo spoke about Sang Xiyue, Sang Xiyue walked onto the stage when the Most Popular Actress award was given out.

Lin Xiaowan took a closer look and found that they seemed to be wearing the same dress. However, there were quite a few details that were different. She was not very sure so she asked Gu Yuwu about it.

Gu Yuwu replied without even the need to think about it, “It’s the same. However, yours was custom-tailored so the details are different. Hers is likely the original. She’s the spokesperson for the collection so it’s only natural for her to wear one of the dresses from the collection.”

Lin Xiaowan said, “Her figure is really good. Our dresses are almost the same, but there’s a huge difference between me and her.”

That was the last conversation the two women had about Sang Xiyue during the award show. However, unexpectedly, after the end of the show when the duo was about to leave, Sang Xiyue came over and politely greeted Gu Yuwu.

Gu Yuwu did not have a good impression of Sang Xiyue so she only nodded perfunctorily. After that, she no longer paid attention to the latter. She whispered to Lin Xiaowan, telling Lin Xiaowan to wait for everyone to leave before leaving themselves.

Lin Xiaowan was not sure if there was any conflict between Gu Yuwu and Sang Xiyue. However, seeing Gu Yuwu’s attitude and considering her relationship with Gu Yuwu, she naturally stood behind Gu Yuwu and looked around, not paying attention to Sang Xiyue.

Nonetheless, Sang Xiyue still maintained the smile on her face. When she was on stage, she had already noticed that Ling Xiaowan was wearing the same white dress as her. She took a step forward and stood next to Lin Xiaowan before she said, “What a coincidence! We’re wearing the same dress from the same collection. Do you want to take a photo to commemorate this?”

In fact, Sang Xiyue was not in a very good mood. In her opinion, there was nothing positive about tonight except for the award she received earlier. However, even that award was overshadowed by a new female celebrity famous for being aloof. She had yet to leave, but many people had already begun to compare them, saying that she was inferior to the other party in terms of temperament and makeup. They even commented on her age, saying that she was already beginning to decline. With all these things, how could she not be furious?

Earlier, Sang Xiyue had seen Lin Xiaowan, who was sitting next to Gu Yuwu. She did not recognize Lin Xiaowan; it was obvious that the latter was not famous and had no fans. Unexpectedly, the latter also wore the same dress as her. Initially, she was only a little unhappy, but when she saw the comments about her, an idea appeared in her mind.

In Sang Xiyue’s opinion, Lin Xiaowan’s height, figure, and appearance were inferior to hers. She felt that she looked much better than Lin Xiaowan. As such, she planned to approach Lin Xiaowan, hoping that the press would pick up the news of her wearing the same dress as Lin Xiaowan. This was not only a way to keep herself in the news, but also a way for her to vent her anger, which was caused by the new female celebrity.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaowan, who did not expect Sang Xiyue to approach her, was stunned. Then, she instinctively looked at Gu Yuwu.

Gu Yuwu stood protectively in front of Lin Xiaowan and said unhappily to Sang Xiyue, “I don’t think there’s a need for that.”

“It seems like you have some misunderstanding about me. I just feel really happy that someone is wearing the same dress as me,” Sang Xiyue said, reaching out to touch the feathers on Lin Xiaowan’s skirt.

Lin Xiaowan was very resistant to being touched by strangers. However, she could not avoid Sang Xiyue in time. Fortunately, Sang Xiyue quickly withdrew her hand.

Sang Xiyue continued to say, seemingly sincere, “The fact that we’re wearing the same dress means that we have the same taste. That’s a good thing, isn’t it?”

Gu Yuwu crossed her arms and said with a sneer, “It seems like it’s true that there’s something wrong with your brain. Do we know you? You just approached us as though we were very close and even wanted to take a photo. Your thoughts are written all over your face!”

Gu Yuwu continued to say, “If it’s not clear, let me make it clear to you now that I don’t like you. If you have any sense, you should get lost, understand? Let me tell you, Sang Xiyue, if you use this to stay in the news, it’ll be over for you.”

Gu Yuwu really hated celebrities with no talent who wanted to climb up using means like that. After she finished speaking, she held Lin Xiaowan’s hand and walked away without another word.

As Lin Xiaowan walked, she deliberately raised her chin and straightened her back, ensuring that her aura matched that of Gu Yuwu.

Meanwhile, Sang Xiyue did not seem upset that she was exposed. It did not matter that she failed to take a photo. After all, before approaching the two women, she had already made arrangements. The moment she had reached out to touch the feathers on Lin Xiaowan’s skirt, the photos had already been taken.

Although Sang Xiyue knew of Gu Yuwu’s reputation, she was not afraid of Gu Yuwu. This was because she had never worked with Gu Yuwu before. What she knew of Gu Yuwu was from other people or the media. Moreover, she knew that everything in the entertainment industry was 30% true and 70% falsehood. As such, she was very certain that Gu Yuwu’s reputation was exaggerated.

When Sang Xiyue returned to her assistant, she told her assistant to sort out the photos that were taken. Then, she contacted a few members of the media she was familiar with to post the photos while they were hot.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuwu was giving Lin Xiaowan advice.

“Did you see what I did earlier? I personally demonstrated it to you. When you meet unreasonable people like her, it’s fine to speak to them the way I did earlier. Don’t be afraid to fight back, understand?”

Lin Xiaowan did not know if she could act the way Gu Yuwu did, but she still nodded seriously and said, “Yes, I understand.”

Then, Lin Xiaowan added, filled with praise, “You look so cool earlier!”

Gu Yuwu did not even need to think before she spoke her mind.. It was indeed quite cool!
