A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 194 The Result of the Preliminary Contest

“Sorry.” Su Yicheng smiled very gently to Candy. “I had something to do with Xiaoxi just now.”

Luo Xiaoxi in the room almost got mad. “Didn’t these words he said would deepen the misunderstanding?”

Candy looked awkward and laughed. “It doesn’t matter. I’m not in a hurry to find Xiaoxi. But, are you going to leave?”

“Yes,” Su Yicheng said.

Candy, who stuck in front of the door, made way for him immediately and said, “Sorry, I don’t know.”

“That’s all right.” Su Yicheng smiled and walked with his long legs.

Candy looked at his back and shook her head with a plaint. Then she entered the room and said, “Xiaoxi, now I know why you like him so much. Just now, he almost enchanted me.”

Luo Xiaoxi felt a little embarrassed and asked, “Haven’t you said that you’d already immune to the handsome guys?”

“I do immunize all kinds of handsome young boys in the circle.” Candy kept her hands over the heart and said exaggeratedly, “But as for this kind of mature and dignified man, whose face is more perfect than these young boys’, I probably never have any way to reject him.”

Luo Xiaoxi said nothing. Her rival in love was so easy to appear. Wherever Su Yicheng went, there would be her rivals.

“If you are impossible one day, I will chase Su Yicheng just like you!” Candy’s face read “I’m not kidding”.

Luo Xiaoxi took advantage of her height and stood up, and then knocked on Candy’s head. “You’d better give up now! Well, why were you so eager to find me? What happened?”

“Oh! I almost forgot!” Candy returned to work at this point. “The show is almost finished. It is time for the results and interviews. Prepare for it now!”

Luo Xiaoxi was speechless to her agent. She began to prepare with making up and changing shoes for the most stressful moments.

At this time, Su Yicheng had returned to the auditorium.

As soon as he sat down, Su Jianan asked, “Brother, how about Xiaoxi?”

“She didn’t injure,” Su Yicheng said. “Don’t worry.”

Su Jianan breathed a sigh of relief. “But the shoes were obviously new. How could they break? And the quality of this brand is not bad...”

Su Yicheng said nothing, and he just clasped his hands in front of the body with eyes gradually becoming graver...

He was also confused about this issue, so he just asked Luo Xiaoxi. But she said it was just an accident.

But this kind of accident was so strange.

Soon, the advertising time ended. And it’s time to announce the result.

Before the announcement, the two hosts needed to interview the contestants one-to-one. When the twenty tall girls came out, the stage was so dazzling that the audience couldn’t move their eyes.

The time of the program was limited, so each girl had one and a half minutes for the interview. The seasoned host controlled the time and questions well. However, when it was Luo Xiaoxi’s turn, he obviously relaxed a lot and gave her more time.

“Xiaoxi,” the host asked with a smile. “Can you tell me what happened at that time? If your shoes were not broken, I must suspect that it was just an action you designed before.”

Luo Xiaoxi took the microphone and looked at the crowds and light sticks under the stage. It was completely false to say that she was not nervous at all.

She had been trained in professional steps and had rehearsed several times, also walked on the catwalk. But it was the first time for her to speak in the live program.

She took a deep breath and tried to make every word clear. “The shoes’ breaking was indeed an accident. And I couldn’t expect that before.

“If I am right, I remember that it was your second show,” The host asked. “It is reasonable to say that your stage experience is still not enough. How could you react like that? I also worried for you and thought that it must be terrible. But after seeing what you had done, I really want to embrace you.”

Luo Xiaoxi was relaxed gradually and shrugged with a smile. “I have no sufficient stage experience, but enough emergency experience.”

The host laughed when he heard what she said. Then he chatted with Luo Xiaoxi for a few more minutes, which lasted longer than other contestants’ interview time by around three minutes.

It was the premier. There was no doubt that the person who got the longest camera time was the most likely to be remembered by the audience.

Luo Xiaoxi was also blessed because of the misfortune.

After the interview of the contestants, the judges also had results, and then the host would announce the points, which made everyone nervous.

The judges evaluated the contestants from their performances, stage styles and so on. The score would be superimposed, and then the score of the same item of each contestant would be announced at the same time. The total score of each one on the big screen kept changing, and the rankings continued to change, too. Besides Luo Xiaoxi who was on the stage, even Su Jianan’s heart seemed to be suspended.

Fortunately, from the current point of view, Luo Xiaoxi’s score was not low.

The last item was the performance of the catwalk.

Luo Xiaoxi was really dangerous in this item.

She had an accident on the catwalk. Although she made the emergency response and the audience appreciated it, no one knew the attitude of the judges.

Maybe they would admire Luo Xiaoxi’s performance, but... maybe they would give her a zero directly.

Su Jianan unconsciously seized Lu Boyan’s hand. “If I had known it, I would let my brother pull some strings for Xiaoxi.” If Luo Xiaoxi was appointed as the champion directly, she would not be so nervous now.

Lu Boyan only said, “I am afraid that Xiaoxi would not agree.”

Su Jianan thought about it and agreed with him. In other people’s eyes, Luo Xiaoxi knew nothing but how to spend money. But what she didn’t lack most were arrogance and stubbornness. If she was appointed as the champion directly, she would get mad.

Thinking of this, Su Jianan sighed and stared at the big screen to wait for the results.

In any case, the judges had already decided the scores. And her tension couldn’t change anything.

At this time, the big screen flipped, and a “+” sign appeared next to each contestant’s name. Then the scores of the catwalk performance slowly emerged.

There were five items totally, and each of them valued 20 points. Someone’s score of the stage performance was as high as 17 or 18. But someone got zero.

And Luo Xiaoxi... got 20 points.

The emergency response she made in time was appreciated by judges.

And her total score ranking jumped to the first place.

“Congratulations to Xiaoxi!” The host sent a crystal trophy to Luo Xiaoxi’s hands. “Congratulations, you can enter our third competition directly!”

The audience burst into thunderous applause. Luo Xiaoxi held the crystal trophy for a long time before she reacted. She grasped it excitedly and showed her gratitude to the hosts and judges conventionally.

“Well, Xiaoxi,” the male host smiled and asked, “It is not easy to get the weekly championship. What do you want to say?”

It was generally known that the award-winning speech had a template, from thanking parents to companies, from thanking TV stations to thanking fans for their support.

People did not know whether Luo Xiaoxi wanted to take an unusual path or was too excited to forget the template of the award-winning testimonials, she said directly,

“The reason I want to become a model is to prove that it also can be a profession, a job. And I hope to prove that I can do it very well,” Luo Xiaoxi firmly held the crystal trophy in her hands and said with a smile. “I have got an initiate success!”

“This speech is... very special.” The host was also the first time to hear such an unofficial acceptance speech, and asked with interest, “Who do you want to prove it to ?”

“My family,” Luo Xiaoxi paused and said, “and some... others.”

The host wisely did not ask more and instead asked Luo Xiaoxi some other questions, which she answered very well.

People who knew here were well aware that Luo Xiaoxi’s so-called “some others” was Su Yicheng.

Su Jianan deliberately asked her brother, “If Xiaoxi became famous and would have a lot of male fans who chase her every day for photos, will you regret?”

Su Yicheng smiled coldly. “You should ask me after she becomes famous.” In other words, it was not easy for Luo Xiaoxi to become famous.

But this was indeed a fact. Su Jianan didn’t know how to reply. While Su Jianan was thinking about how to answer, Lu Boyan, who sat next to her, said easily, “Are you doubting the ability of our company to create stars?”

Su Jianan then responded that Luo Xiaoxi was an artist of Lu Enterprise Media! With her ability and the support of Lu Enterprises, Luo Xiaoxi had no way but become famous.

There was no need to think about how to answer. Su Jianan smiled a little proudly. “Brother, you can think about the answer now.”

“...” Su Yicheng became more regretful in letting Su Jianan marry Lu Boyan. It was said that the girl was by her husband’s side. His younger sister had only been married for less than a year, and she had almost forgotten that he was her brother.

While he was thinking, the show ended. The hosts and models returned to the backstage and the audience left the studio one after another.

Su Jianan also stood up and looked at Lu Boyan with a little expectation. “The backstage is not so messy now. Is it? I want to go there to find Xiaoxi.”

When she saw that Luo Xiaoxi scored top of the list, her excitement was not less than that of Luo Xiaoxi. Now she just wanted to hug Luo Xiaoxi.

“Now it must be more chaotic than just now,” Lu Boyan said. “It is not convenient to find her now. Let’s go home first. You can find Xiaoxi at any time tomorrow.”

“... Well.” Su Jianan had to text Luo Xiaoxi and then left with Lu Boyan.

What they didn’t expect was that there were reporters and several cameras waiting for them outside the door. They were surrounded although protected by security guards.

“Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, are you here to watch the Top Model ?” The reporter asked, “Mr. Lu, you have never appeared on such occasion before. Is this because of the sudden interest or because of Mrs. Lu?”

Lu Boyan said, “Because of my wife.”

“Wow—” The reporters heckled with intended ambiguity and asked, “We know that the championship tonight is an artist from your company’s. Is that true? It is said that she and Mrs. Lu’s are good friends.”

This question was still not convenient to answer now. At this time, several security guards came over and cleared the way for them. Lu Boyan took Su Jianan on the car and quickly got out of the reporter’s encirclement.

Su Jianan asked, “The reporter asked the relationship between Xiaoxi and me. Did you deliberately not answer?”

“Xiaoxi won the championship tonight. If you acknowledge that you are good friends, it is difficult to ensure that they will not write some false news.” Lu Boyan said, “Special relationship is disgusted by most people. So the relationship between you and Xiaoxi should be hidden.”

Su Jianan faintly understood the reason why Su Yicheng didn’t find Luo Xiaoxi.

She said, “You decide.”

And what she could do was to believe Lu Boyan.
