Chapter 507

Li Lu stood on the stage. She didn’t know whether to leave or not.

Nian Wei was sandwiched between Jiang Yu and Li Lu. She didn’t know what to say.

After a long while, she asked Jiang Yu in a low voice, “What should we do? Are we just going to stand here? Until Li Lu speaks?”

Jiang Yu looked at her and then at Li Lu. “I don’t know. I guess so.”

Nian Wei sighed and continued in a low voice, “My legs are going numb from standing up.”

Li Lu was already embarrassed and angry. The knuckles of the hand that was holding the trophy had already turned white. It seemed that she had used all her strength to hold the trophy so that it did not fall to the ground.

Looking at her expression, Jiang Yu could not tell whether it was because she could not bear to or simply felt pity for her. She picked up the microphone and spoke, trying to help her out.

“This matter might really be a misunderstanding,” Jiang Yu said. “No matter what the truth is, there will be someone who will verify it. They will definitely give everyone an explanation.”

However, even if Jiang Yu said so, it would be useless because everyone had already decided in their hearts that there was no way to change this matter.

Moreover, this was also the truth. No matter how much Li Lu said, it would be impossible to change the truth. There was no way to change the truth.

When the host heard what Jiang Yu said, she quickly added, “Alright, the competition is over. Let us congratulate Jiang Yu for winning the first place!”

There was a sparse round of applause below the stage. It seemed that not many people were sincerely cheering for her.

With the help of the host, the award ceremony ended very quickly. Li Lu ran back to the lounge as if she was running away.

When her manager saw her like this, the words that she wanted to say were stuck in her throat. She couldn’t say a word.

How should she say it? She was already like this, yet she still wanted to say to her, “You’re on the hot searches, and now many television stations are banning you”?

Wouldn’t that make her even more devastated?

Li Lu carefully placed the trophy on the table and panted heavily. Her tears were also falling down.

The manager looked at her and couldn’t bear it, so she comforted her, “Don’t cry. I’m also at fault for this. I should have stopped you.”

Li Lu cried and shook her head, but she couldn’t say a word.

There was a knock on the door. The manager went to open the door and found that it was Jiang Yu.

“What are you doing here?” The manager asked.

“I’m here to see Li Lu,” Jiang Yu said.

“She’s fine. Thank you for your concern.” Her manager didn’t want Jiang Yu to see Li Lu like that, so she stopped her from entering.

Sister Xia said, “We’re just being kind. Isn’t it a little unreasonable for you to stop us from entering?”

“You...” The manager wanted to retort, but after thinking about it, she felt that Sister Xia’s words made sense, so she could only make way for Jiang Yu and Sister Xia to enter.

Li Lu was still crying on the sofa, but when she saw Jiang Yu enter, she instantly stopped her tears.

However, her voice still carried a thick sobbing tone as she said, “What are you doing here?! Are you here to watch me make a fool of myself?”

Jiang Yu said helplessly, “I’m just here to care about you. Is that not enough? Why do you have to treat me like an enemy every time you see me?”

Li Lu said, “Aren’t we enemies? Don’t think that I’ll thank you just because you said a few words on stage to help me out. Jiang Yu, you’re dreaming.”

Jiang Yu shrugged, she said, “I’m not helping you out. I just heard Nian Wei say that her legs are numb from standing, so I plan to end this award ceremony as soon as possible. However, you can also think that I decided to speak up to help you out because I felt sorry for you.”

“You!” Li Lu was choked. After a long while, she finally said, “Jiang Yu, you really have no manners!”
