Chapter 171 Formal Declaration of War



Shen Shuyuan!

These three words stood at the top of the pyramid, highlighted, and below them were individual photos of all the contestants, each wearing a golden crown with colorful flowers scrolling across the screen, giving the winners a grand display.

With her delicate features and graceful demeanor, Shen Shuyuan became the top performer in this semi-final.

The audience erupted in applause.

Shen Jiarui excitedly stood on the chair, opened his suit jacket, and frantically poked at his T-shirt towards Shen Shuyuan on the stage.

He tried to get Shen Shuyuan to praise him for dressing well today and not embarrassing her.

"Get down." Shen Jinmo covered his face and pulled the humiliated Shen Jiarui off the chair: "We're live now, there will be cameras filming you. You have no shame, but the Shen family still does."

Shen Jiarui then sat down obediently: "Brother, you don't know, I prayed all around outside the venue, and sure enough, you still have to believe in metaphysics."

"..." Shen Jinmo.

Shen Shuyuan stood on the stage, looking down at the admiring glances cast from the audience, her vanity greatly satisfied.

And Shen Jinmo's gaze seemed to be looking at him as well.

She won so convincingly this time.

His gaze swept toward Luo Wuyan, who was in second place.

She calmly put her hands in her pockets, showing no sadness at losing. Instead, she happily said to her, "Congratulations, Miss Shen."

Shen Shuyuan glanced at Luo Wuyan with disdain, then stood up straight, as proud as a white swan.

"You beat me last time because my older brother wanted to please my sister-in-law; he had ulterior motives. Today's match is fair and just. You should accept your defeat wholeheartedly, right?"

“Of course, of course. Miss Shen’s painting ‘Beloved’ is unmatched. No wonder you’re in love. I, who am single, can’t paint an engagement ring. It’s only natural that I lost.” Luo Wuyan said frankly and generously.

Ten minutes later, Lu Zhiwei personally went on stage to present awards to the winners.

The emcee followed behind Lu Zhiwei, holding the certificate and award gifts.

Lu Zhiwei was the first to approach Shen Shuyuan and present her with the award certificate: "Congratulations, Shuyuan."

"Thank you, sister-in-law," Shen Shuyuan said, nodding as she accepted the award certificate.

"This is a gift for the champion." Lu Zhiwei handed a red brocade box to Shen Shuyuan with both hands.

Shen Shuyuan bent down to accept the gift and thanked her repeatedly.

At this moment, Shen Shuyuan was enjoying standing at the peak, receiving an award from Lu Zhiwei, and being watched by Shen Jinmo with eyes full of admiration.

This is unprecedented treatment.

Her joy and delight were palpable, making her feel somewhat euphoric.

After presenting the award to Shen Shuyuan, Lu Zhiwei then presented the award to Luo Wuyan, who came in second place.

When Lu Zhiwei presented the gift to Luo Wuyan, she whispered in Luo Wuyan's ear, "You went easy on me?"

Luo Wuyan gently patted her back: "It's because I'm not as good as others, after all, I have no experience in dating."

Lu Zhiwei looked at Luo Wuyan meaningfully and smiled, then continued to present the award to the third place winner.

After the awards ceremony, Lu Zhiwei stepped off the stage and sat down in the first row of the audience.

The host, holding the microphone, looked at Lu Zhiwei and, at her prompting, said, "To increase the excitement of the competition, our league committee has prepared some mini-games, which will be played by drawing lots. We would like to invite today's semi-final champion to draw a slip of paper from the lottery box and complete this mini-game that interacts with the audience."

Shen Shuyuan placed the certificate and prize in the emcee's hands and walked towards the draw box with a big smile.

He pulled out a slip of paper and handed it to the host.

The host took the slip of paper, unfolded it, and showed it to the live camera and the audience at the same time: "The game that Ms. Shen drew is to put an engagement ring on the finger of one of the male guests in the audience."

Seeing this game content.

Shen Shuyuan's expression immediately changed, her rosy face turning deathly pale.

The host called over the emcee to bring out the game rings: "Since the first game of our league is a jewelry design competition, and most of the games are related to jewelry, we have also prepared matching men's rings to match the prizes of all the winners. Qixi Festival is just around the corner, and we hope that all lovers in the world will be united in marriage. I heard that Ms. Shen has a boyfriend, is that right? I think he's here today."

When Shen Jiarui was called on, he was so happy he almost jumped up from his seat. He was practically ready to introduce himself to the host as the champion Shen Shuyuan's boyfriend.

Shen Shuyuan gripped her skirt tightly, her cold gaze fixed on Lu Zhiwei sitting in the first row below the stage.

She seemed to have a gut feeling.

She came in first place today.

She will be drawn into this game.

Everything was within Lu Zhiwei's plan.

She officially declared war on her!

"Ms. Shen, please come in." The host asked the emcee to open the ring box and present it to Shen Shuyuan.

Shen Shuyuan was like a duck on a barbecue grill, being repeatedly scorched.

The match is being broadcast live nationwide.

If she chooses not to play the game, it will bring negative publicity to herself and the entire Shen family, making people say that she, the young lady of the Shen family, is acting like a diva at the competition.

But if you play...

This means she has to take the men's ring to the audience and put it on a man's finger.

Besides, Shen Jiarui.

She had no other choice.

Taking the diamond-encrusted men's ring from the brocade box, Shen Shuyuan gracefully walked off the stage, her skirt trailing behind her.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

Everyone is eagerly anticipating who this talented eldest daughter of the Shen family will marry and who her boyfriend will be.

I walked straight to the last row.

Every step Shen Shuyuan took was like being slowly tortured to death.

Shen Jinmo leaned back lazily in his chair, glancing at Shen Shuyuan casually.
