Xia Yanran’s reaction was larger than Nan Zhi’s when she heard that Mu Sihan was going to get engaged with that woman called Xue’er.
How could this happen?
Would Mu Sihan really marry a woman he did not like to fulfill the Old Madam’s final wishes?
What about Zhizhi and Xiaojie then?
Xia Yanran turned to look at Nan Zhi, but Nan Zhi was a lot calmer about it than she had expected.
It was because Nan Zhi knew that such a day would happen eventually.
He was filial and responsible. He naturally would not go back on his words since he had already promised the Old Madam.
She could not force herself to blame him, because she knew very clearly that he was unwilling and unhappy about the whole situation.
The difficulty in being helpless and stuck in the middle was something she could understand.
Lin Wanyue had already chosen her evening gown, and turned towards the entrance with Xue’er. It was then that they saw Nan Zhi and Xia Yanran, who were standing not too far away from them.
The four pairs of eyes met each other’s.
Xue’er was the first one to speak up. She took out an invite from her bag with a smile. “Miss Nan, if you’re free at the end of the month, feel free to attend Ah Han and my engagement party.”
Nan Zhi took the invite and opened it to take a look.
Xue’er and Mu Sihan’s photo was printed on the top of the invite. They were hugging each other tightly, with Xue’er smiling bright like a blooming flower while Mu Sihan looked handsome and cold.
Nan Zhi’s eyes hurt from the sight. However, she threw the invite into the rubbish bin in the next second. She looked up with a respectful smile directed at Xue’er, “I’m sorry, I’m not free.”
She had pitied Xue’er slightly at first, since she must have suffered a lot after being locked up at the mental hospital for several years. However, she lost any positive impression she had for Xue’er after that night at H City when Xue’er used Mu Sihan’s phone to make that call.
No one would like their love rivals. Xue’er was not an exception, and neither was she.
There really was no point to even pretend to be courteous to each other.
Lin Wanyue growled angrily after she saw Nan Zhi throw the invite into the rubbish bin straight away. “Nan Zhi, you were the one who did wrong to Xue’er, yet you’re still treating her like this. You definitely lack manners and education.”
Nan Zhi smiled coldly. “I have the right to do whatever I want, since she gave it to me.” Nan Zhi paused before she glanced at Xue’er. “Miss Mu, do you really want me to go? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll make a ruckus at your engagement party?”
Xue’er’s pupils constricted when she heard Nan Zhi’s words. She blinked, acting pitifully, “Miss Nan, you really make me see you in a different light.”
“Thank you.”
...
The stars were sparkling brightly on the night of the awards show.
The Golden Broadcasting Awards Show was held every two years, and this was already the tenth anniversary. It had a strong influence amongst the broadcasting industry, and it could be said that the ‘Golden Broadcasting’ award was one that everyone in the broadcasting industry strived towards.
Those who received the ‘Golden Broadcasting’ award at the show were usually the top and most popular amongst the broadcasting industry.
Nan Zhi’s potential could be seen from having been nominated for the ‘Best Host’ category despite being a rookie. Many hosts were not able to get nominated for this award category even though they had been in the industry for at least a decade.
Nan Zhi walked the red carpet with Zhang Yijun, Xia Xi and the producer of ‘Delicacy’.
Facing the unending flashes from the plethora of cameras, Nan Zhi was still slightly nervous since it was her first time walking the red carpet.
She was wearing a bare-shoulder satin dress with a fishtail skirt. Fishtail skirts usually required the wearer to have very nice figure, especially at the hips and legs. The weaknesses of the wearer’s figure would be blown up if there was a small weakness. However, Nan Zhi was tall, slender and curvy. The fishtail skirt looked pretty yet sexy and elegant in a way that was not too flamboyant on her.
Ever since ‘Delicacy’ had been aired, she had gotten a group of fans. Although she would get into scandals from time to time, they did not affect her popularity.
Several fans were screaming her name when she walked the red carpet.
Nan Zhi was incredibly touched when she saw the fans that came all the way to support her. She told herself that she had to work harder in the future, so that she would not let down the adoration and support that everyone gave her.
...
Nan Zhi and the group with her returned to the resting room backstage after they finished signing their names on the board and finished giving their interviews.
The organizer arranged an individual room for every nominated host this time.
Nan Zhi dragged Xia Xi to the resting room with her name pasted outside.
Xiaojie, Gu Sheng and Qiao Yanze had all came tonight. Nan Zhi did not what to say when she saw the two men sitting by Xiaojie’s sides when she video-called him.
Qiao Yanze was even more thick-skinned than Mu Sihan. He still continued to look for Xiaojie and her even after she rejected him several times.
As for Brother Gu Sheng, Nan Zhi treated him as a friend and an older brother. He was definitely incomparable to Qiao Yanze.
“Pretty Zhizhi, you’re really gorgeous tonight. Brother Jie is honored to be able to have a goddess as perfect as Pretty Zhizhi.”
“Goddess, I’m here, did you see me?” Qiao Yanze pushed Xiaojie out of the camera and occupied the entire camera shot himself.
Qiao Yanze was very close to the camera, which made his pretty face even more enchanting. If a person with poor self-restraint saw this, they would definitely lick the screen.
However, Nan Zhi had been used to looking at Mu Sihan and Gu Sheng. The type Qiao Yanze belonged to was really not the type she liked.
The two of them chatted quickly before Xiaojie snatched the phone back and turned the camera towards the gentle Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng smiled at Nan Zhi. His smile was as refreshing as the spring wind, “Good luck, Little Flower.”
Nan Zhi nodded with a smile.
...
“Xiao Xi, I’m going to go the washroom.” Nan Zhi got up with a small pouch.
“Alright, there’s still 40 minutes left before the show starts.” Xia Xi said.
Nan Zhi walked out of the resting room and into another corridor after passing a corridor and a turn.
Just as she was about to walk forward, she suddenly heard a seductive moan.
“Teacher Du, will I get the ‘Best Host’ award and the ‘Golden Broadcasting’ award this time?”
Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows.
This voice... belonged to Lin Wanyue?
Nan Zhi tightened her hold on her purse. She pushed open the door slightly to glance inside.
All she saw was Lin Wanyue being held against the wall by a man wearing a pair of spectacles, who looked to be polite and cultured. The man pulled her skirt down, stretching his hand to the most inner part between her legs.
Or not, based on what she was seeing.
“Wanyue, I noticed that there’s a new host from your broadcasting company. She’s called Nan Zhi, right? The other judges seem to have high ratings for her.”
Lin Wanyue wrapped her arms around Du Xiwen’s neck as she pouted, “Teacher Du, now I know that you like the new and abandon the old. Do you like Nan Zhi now? I’m quite close to her actually, do you want me to introduce you to her?”
Du Xiwen smiled meaningfully. “I heard that she’s a single mother as well. I have never played a woman from this category before.”
Nan Zhi’s breathing tightened.
She did not think that Lin Wanyue was so despicable and shameless.
She was about to close the door and leave, when the voices of Lin Wanyue’s assistant and An Xiaolin appeared in front.
If she were to turn around and leave now, Lin Wanyue’s assistant and An Xiaolin would definitely discover her.
Just when Nan Zhi did not know where to go, a strong arm approached her and was pulled to the corner by the man before she could react. The man blocked her from sight under his tall and large figure.
