Seconds later, she saw the face on the screen. It wasnât Xiaolin, but the girl named Lin Shuya.
Then... Then she heard the hosts announce Lin Shuya was the founder of Angelâs Shelter.
She had completely comprehended the entire situation.
Angelâs Shelterâs founder... Why would that be Lin Shuya? She had no idea who she was.
Amid the applause, the female host passed the microphone to Cheng Jingqiu. âPresident Cheng, do you have anything to say to our newly-crowned charity angel?â
Although Cheng Jingqiu hadnât been paying attention to the outside world, she had been through storms in the past few decades. She had experienced so much that she comprehended parts of the story swiftly.
Cheng Jingqiu stroked the black cat in her arms and turned to Cheng Min. Unhurriedly, she asked, âXiaomin, is Miss Lin Shuya the founder of Angelâs Shelter?â
Cheng Min nodded. âYes.â
Cheng Jingqiu glanced at Lin Shuya and questioned her sharply. âMiss Lin Shuya, I heard from the host that you founded Angelâs Shelter all by yourself?â
Cheng Jingqiu revisited this topic, which puzzled everyone. However, Lin Shuya was too blissful at the thought of her award and Han Yixuanâs proposal to notice that anything was amiss. Her cheeks were warm and crimson as she nodded. âYeah, I founded Angelâs Shelter when I was still a student. It didnât attract much attention at that point in time, so it was rather arduous at the beginning. I was literally fighting alone. Thankfully, Iâve overcome all these hurdles. I want to thank everyone for their support.â
Cheng Jingqiuâs expression turned icy when she heard her answer, especially when she mentioned that she had done everything alone.
The female host decided to draw attention to Lin Shuyaâs hard work. She sighed dramatically and spoke passionately. âShuya had a tough journey. She had to put up with her older sister, who was incompetent, and also had a hard time when her parents divorced. She had to scrimp and save every penny she earned from her part-time jobs and allowance to donate her savings to charity. She has worked so hard...â
The female host continued to look overwhelmed with emotion. âAfter she became famous, Shuya was maligned by her sister...â
Lin Yan had accused Lin Shuya of being a third party and even claimed that she was the one who had founded Angelâs Shelter.
The hostâs speech once again drew a wave of backlash that was directed at Lin Yan.
Lin Shuyaâs eyes had turned red at the perfect time. With tears glistening in her eyes, she said, âAlthough it was tough, Iâve never regretted founding Angelâs Shelter by myself...â
Cheng Jingqiu, who had always been polite and courteous, interrupted Lin Shuya for the first time in public. âMiss Lin, may I interrupt?â
Lin Shuya stopped speaking after being interrupted abruptly. âPresident Cheng, I will listen to any advice you can give me.â
Cheng Jingqiuâs expression was stony and cold, and she did not wish to conceal her mood. Even Lin Shuya could tell.
Lin Shuya had an uneasy feeling for no apparent reason...
Cheng Jingqiu patted the black cat and replied coldly, âIâm not worthy of giving advice. I just donât understand something. Miss Lin Shuya, you claim to have established Angelâs Shelter by yourself...â
She paused and appraised Lin Shuya. âSix years ago, on May 18th, Angelâs Shelter was established. Iâve watched and witnessed it grow from a seed into a mature tree. As one of Angelâs Shelterâs observers and founders, no one can be clearer than me about its history.
Angelâs Shelter was founded by two people. Iâm one of them, and the other party is my young friend. Miss Lin Shuya, why havenât I heard that you set up Angelâs Shelter?â
