"Come on, let's give a round of applause to Lin Yiyun."
Thunderous applause erupted.
But Lin Yiyun was very apprehensive with every step she took.
Ever since she clashed with Tang Li, she has suffered setbacks in everything she does and has lost every step of the way.
So when she attended this authors' conference today, her agent, Nanxing, had repeatedly told her to keep a low profile in every aspect, and never show her face if she could remain silent.
Moreover, tonight is Tang Li's home turf, and also her moment to shine.
The more this is the case, the more we should avoid its sharp edge.
"Welcome, welcome Lin Yiyun. Okay, we have a lucky draw today, and Ms. Lin Yiyun will be giving away prizes to everyone."
lottery?
Giving away freebies?
Lin Yiyun's smile immediately vanished.
What kind of lucky draw would require her to personally go on stage to give out prizes?
However, given that it was a live broadcast and there were so many eyes watching, Lin Yiyun quickly put on a smile, took the flashlight handed to her by the host, and looked quite puzzled.
The host explained:
"Today, we will count down from the last five digits. Ms. Lin Yiyun will wave her flashlight to find three lucky people who will be illuminated by the light and come up on stage one by one to receive the grand prize and benefits."
Many loyal readers of the website came today, and they were all very excited to hear this.
"Our prize is a signed copy of the author, Tangli Banyu's, book."
The audience erupted in cheers as soon as the host finished speaking.
"I heard that the author has never held a book signing event, so very few people are able to get a signed copy. Don't get excited, tonight's lucky winners will also have the opportunity to take a photo with Ms. Lin Yiyun. Good luck to everyone. Come on, let's count to five."
"Five, four, three, two, one, stop!"
As the countdown ended, a long-haired girl screamed:
"It's me, it's me."
The host gestured, "Come on, let's invite our lucky winner to come up on stage."
Down in the audience, Song Beiyu, who had shouted himself hoarse, hung his head, feeling both envious and regretful.
Song Beiye patted him on the back:
"Don't rush. You even acknowledged your godbrother last night, so getting a signed copy from your sister-in-law won't be difficult. As for Lin Yiyun, I promised you I'd treat her to dinner so you can get up close and personal with your idol."
"She's my godmother-in-law."
Since she couldn't shut them up from their daydreaming, correcting their way of addressing her was Huo Sitang's last act of defiance as the sister-in-law.
Song Beiye lowered his head and smiled faintly:
"Alright, alright, if you say you're my god-sister-in-law, then you're my god-sister-in-law. Little girl, I think you're too young, how about I adopt you as my god-sister?"
I'll fuck you!
Huo Sitang made another move, and Song Beiye gasped, holding his breath as he said:
"My god-sister is quite skilled."
This guy, in a different setting, I could take him down in a minute.
Now she's at least the sister-in-law of the famous writer Tangli Banyu, well, image is more important than lecturing people.
After the first lucky reader was selected, the second lucky winner went up on stage.
Song Beiyu looked on with envy.
When it was finally the third person's turn, after the host counted down from five, a faint light shone on Song Beiyu.
Before he could even react, Song Beiye had already pushed him.
"Wow, the first two lucky winners were girls. Finally, a boy has arrived. Come on, let's invite this lucky winner to the stage."
Song Beiyu felt as if his body was floating, his feet were off the ground, and his whole body was floating.
He walked onto the stage with uneven steps.
The three lucky winners have been chosen, and the flashlight in Lin Yiyun's hand was taken back by the hostess.
Song Beiye glanced sideways to see Tang Li's reaction, when he suddenly noticed that the faint light on Song Beiyu's seat, which had disappeared, suddenly flickered again. Following the light, he saw Jing Jiu hurriedly turning off his flashlight and then nodding slightly to Tang Li.
Tang Li made an OK sign.
I see.
Song Beiye stared at Tang Li with great interest, feeling something was amiss, given the level of dislike Tang Li was currently showing towards him.
She had absolutely no reason to help her younger brother fulfill his dream.
Unless, she has looked up information about the two brothers.
Even so, Song Beiye still appreciated the gesture.
It seems he's definitely indebted to this person.
On stage, the host noticed that Song Beiyu looked a little pale, so he jokingly said:
"You're very excited, aren't you? Would you like an autographed book first, or would you like to hug Ms. Lin Yiyun first?"
Song Beiyu never expected that such incredible luck would fall on his head.
This surprised him even more than when he was diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer.
It's unbelievable that someone as unlucky as him, seemingly abandoned by God, would have such a shining moment.
Seeing that he was still unable to calm down, the host kindly said:
"Then let's hug first."
Lin Yiyun frowned slightly. Her patience had run out. Although she still maintained her signature smile, her expression showed a hint of resistance.
Yes, that's resistance.
Tang Li could see it very clearly.
Didn't they just meet?
Why did Lin Yiyun seem not to recognize him when they met in this setting?
After observing carefully several times, Tang Li was certain that Lin Yiyun seemed to have no impression of Song Beiyu at all.
She was not surprised at all when someone she had met late at night and who followed her on social media appeared in front of her.
His eyes were filled with unfamiliarity and alienation.
Either she genuinely didn't recognize Song Beiyu.
Either she has exceptional acting skills.
Tang Li picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to Jiang Mian: "Are you sure Song Beiyu went to Weiran Waterfront that night and met Lin Yiyun?"
