3302: Sudden Changes (43)

Sudden Changes (43)

Celebrities who were not as established would pay exorbitant prices to rent gowns for such events. These celebrities would have spent significant amounts of money and resources in fighting to earn a place on the invite list. It would simply be a waste to appear too early.2

Many celebrities dreamed of being the finale act because the viewership ratings would reach a peak before the awards ceremony began. However, most of the celebrities who made their appearances at the finale had top-notch resources or backgrounds.

Most of them were first-tier rising starlets.

As a result, Yun Shishi noticed that the celebrities she spotted as she looked across the venue, were all veteran actors. These veteran artistes, who had been acting for most of their lives, did not care about appearing on stage earlier or later. They also did not bother to compete with these young celebrities for these flashy things. They arrived very early.

Out of courtesy, she greeted them one by one.

Some of the older actors were the seniors she liked and respected from the bottom of her heart.

After exchanging pleasantries, she returned to her seat only to find that the name tag on the seat beside her read "Yang Mi", and beside Mu Yazhe, was "Jun Mo".

Her row was filled with Huanyu's artistes.

Soon, Yang Mi and Li Jiuxian arrived.

Li Jiuxian was Yang Mi's male companion. Yun Shishi noticed that the two of them were acting very intimate even after they entered the venue. Li Jiuxian had his arm around her waist, and his gaze was gentle. He did not look like a casual friend at all.

Yang Mi was shocked to see Yun Shishi. She did not expect to see her at such an occasion.

Previously, she had heard that some unforeseen events had happened, so Yun Shishi was semi-retired and had retreated from the scene. She did not expect to see her and it was a big surprise!

"Shishi, you're here as well?"

"I've been nominated for Best Supporting Actress, so the organizers invited me to attend the award ceremony."

Yang Mi then glanced at the person next to her and recognized Mu Yazhe. She became respectful and cautious immediately.

Yun Shishi knew that she was in awe of Mu Yazhe. With a slight smile, she extended an invitation, "Come, take a seat!"

"Uh huh."

Yang Mi and Li Jiuxian sat down cautiously, feeling somewhat uneasy. Clearly, they did not know that Mu Yazhe would be here as a guest, so they were a little nervous.

Yun Shishi said, "The organizers are very considerate to arrange for you and Jun Mo to be by my side. They know that we're on good terms."

When Yang Mi heard this heartwarming remark, her nervousness eased a little and she smiled.

She was getting on in years. Hence, she was different from when she had just debuted. After years of experience in the entertainment industry, her personality had been tempered.

She said, "Shishi, I'm so envious of you! Look at how happy you are now. Even a kind person will be blessed! God really cares about you."

Yun Shishi glanced at her, then at Li Jiuxian, who was sitting beside her, and suddenly asked, "Are you two dating?"

Yang Mi was taken aback and immediately felt awkward. Li Jiuxian, who was next to her, also felt uneasy, but he did not deny it immediately. Instead, he looked at Yang Mi as if he was taking cue from her.

"Shishi… how… how did you know?"

She was indeed dating Li Jiuxian.

The rumors back then were true. She and Li Jiuxian had fallen in love while working on the same drama, but without clearly being in a relationship, they were seeing each other. To put it bluntly, treating the other party as a partner in bed was just a matter of physical needs, unrelated to romance.
