The shackles of her status bound her to be docile and obedient for life, and she could not do anything contrary to her status.
Shen Shuyuan tried her best to suppress the restless energy within her body that wanted to break free of its restraints.
Hold your breath and steel your resolve.
He fastened the ring and slipped it into Shen Jiarui's palm.
The audience erupted in applause.
It was cheers, it was blessings.
Shen Jinmo, along with the audience, applauded enthusiastically.
They were laughing.
She forced herself to mechanically relax her facial muscles and squeezed out a smile.
Shen Jiarui stared at the ring on her ring finger, then excitedly picked her up and spun her around: "Shuyuan, thank you for loving me so much too."
Shen Shuyuan was picked up in front of so many people and frantically patted his back, "Put me down right now, this is so embarrassing."
To outsiders, these actions are nothing more than playful banter between lovers.
Shen Jiarui finally put her down.
Shen Shuyuan pressed Shen Jiarui back into his seat, preparing to return to the competition area.
Lu Zhiwei seized the opportunity and sent a message to the staff in the back office.
A few seconds later.
Suddenly, the giant billboard in the last row unexpectedly collapsed onto the audience seats.
The audience members facing the stage were unaware of the impending accident.
Only Shen Shuyuan, who was walking towards the stage, noticed the problem with the billboard immediately.
The billboard frame was welded from steel pipes and was about ten meters long, which shows that it was heavy enough to kill a person.
Shen Shuyuan stopped in her tracks.
He quickly turned around and took another step.
The billboard looked like it was about to crash down.
When danger strikes, there's no time to think.
Sober restraint ultimately failed to overcome inner bias.
Shen Shuyuan shouted, "Brother, be careful!"
She rushed towards the audience seats, bypassing Shen Jiarui, grabbed Shen Jinmo's arm, and dragged him to his feet to escape.
Finally, someone noticed the fallen billboard, and the audience members in the stands stood up in shock.
"Run!"
Sitting in his seat, still immersed in the joy he had just experienced, Shen Jiarui stared blankly as Shen Shuyuan's figure rushed past him.
She then took her elder brother Shen Jinmo's hand.
Then I looked up at the billboard that was slowly falling down.
His passionate and fiery heart felt as if it had been doused with cold water, and his smile vanished abruptly.
The billboard only collapsed halfway before it stopped.
It is pulled by a special steel cable.
Then—
Bang, bang, bang! The sound of gunfire echoed throughout the stadium hall.
Fireworks burst forth from behind the billboard, dazzling and spectacular.
Fragments of fireworks drifted down and landed on everyone's heads.
Shen Shuyuan stood frozen in place.
Shen Jinmo coldly withdrew his hand from hers, looking at her as if she were a fool.
Seeing the panicked audience scattering, Lu Zhiwei quickly went on stage, holding a microphone, and explained to everyone present: "Please don't panic, everyone. The venue has undergone countless safety checks; it's impossible for such a basic safety incident to occur. We designed a small celebration segment after the event, but unfortunately, the advertising board was too high, blocking the effect needed for the fireworks to suddenly explode from behind. So, we designed a mechanism to lower the advertising board halfway to allow the fireworks to explode smoothly. I'm very sorry for the fright caused. As the president of Lu's Group, I sincerely apologize to everyone and promise that everyone present will receive a pure gold bracelet as compensation..."
Lu Zhiwei's public relations skills were decisive and swift, and the incident did not cause any dissatisfaction.
"President Lu is truly magnanimous."
"Mr. Lu, you deserve to be rich!"
Some people turned around and started discussing the shocking scene that had just unfolded.
"Did you see that? Just now, our champion Miss Shen was holding the hand of the eldest son of the Shen family in that critical moment."
"Her boyfriend is like a clown."
"Is she trying to have her cake and eat it too?"
"The storyline of a wealthy family is truly explosive."
...
Rumors spread like wildfire from all directions.
Shen Shuyuan had been cautious and prudent for over twenty years, but she never expected to stumble on such a occasion today.
She was as proud as she was when she won the championship, and now she is just as embarrassed.
Shen Shuyuan stood there, stunned, her icy gaze fixed on Lu Zhiwei.
Lu Zhiwei!
It was her doing again!
What a clever scheme!
She was caught off guard and fell into each of her carefully designed traps.
Shen Shuyuan is not the only one who has been attacked by rumors.
More often than not, it's Shen Jiarui.
The departing audience members approached him one by one, offering feigned comfort: "Young Master Shen, it's alright, this was just an accident. Miss Shen might have made a mistake in her haste and misjudged him."
"Miss Shen won't hold the wrong hand every time."
They called it comforting, but in reality, they were just taking the opportunity to stab him in the back.
He wishes he could disappear into a hole in the ground.
Or perhaps, how wonderful it would have been if the billboard had just fallen and killed him.
It's not like he, the second young master of the prestigious Shen family, is being ridiculed by everyone.
Shen Jinmo gave Shen Shuyuan a cold look.
From the moment he received Lu Zhiwei's invitation, he knew what Lu Zhiwei wanted to do on the field.
She is a woman with a very strong sense of purpose.
Sure enough, everything today is her doing.
In fact, even if she hadn't tested Shen Shuyuan, he would have still made a move, but he wouldn't have acted as hastily as Lu Zhiwei.
He would consider Shen Jiarui's feelings and the Shen family's reputation, and how to better deal with Shen Shuyuan.
Shen Jinmo straightened his suit and strode away.
