It was ten minutes to three when Wen Ying rushed back to the hotel.
Chen Ru stayed in the room without even putting on makeup, obviously not wanting to attend the award ceremony.
Wen Ying kept pulling and tugging, "Mom, let's go take a look. It's so boring to stay in the room. We're already here."
Chen Ru gets angry when talking about this.
If Wen Ying hadn't been so stubborn, she would have had a seat at the awards ceremony. If Wen Ying had won the first prize, Chen Ru would have applauded from the audience. She wouldn't have needed anyone to urge her, as she would have dressed up to attend.
But Wen Ying couldn't win any award, so Chen Ru lost interest.
Maybe, Wen Ying is lucky and can get a second prize... What's the use of the second prize? It can't add points when filling out the application form. It's useless to Chen Ru!
Wen Ying coaxed people shamelessly.
"Mom, I'm actually very happy. I'm not going to lie to you, I'm really happy."
Wen Ying was talking to herself and Chen Ru rolled her eyes at her.
Are you happy if you don’t get the award?
Wen Ying's eyes sparkled, her face full of smiles: "I think you've changed a lot. We're closer than before, right? I didn't want Aunt Wu to help me. Although you were unhappy and angry, you didn't call Aunt Wu behind my back, and you didn't make the decision on my behalf. I know Aunt Wu has been waiting for your call. As long as you ask, Aunt Wu will definitely help, but you never made this call."
Since when did her mother change?
Strong and strong.
Stubborn remains stubborn.
The powder keg's temper hasn't changed at all.
What changed was the attitude towards Wen Ying.
Chen Ru did not agree with Wen Ying's approach, but she did not act on her own behind Wen Ying's back, nor did she make decisions without Wen Ying. Wen Ying regarded this as Chen Ru's "respect" for her.
How rare!
What Wen Ying spent 31 years in her previous life trying to do but still couldn't do has now come true.
Wen Ying didn't know whether other parents would respect their children's choices, but her own parents never knew how to write the word "respect." No matter how successful Wen Ying was, as long as she didn't do what Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong asked, it wouldn't work.
This time, things have changed.
Wen Ying rejected Wu Chunqin, and Chen Ru exploded like a volcano, angry from last night to today.
But Chen Ru did not look for Wu Chunqin in private again, nor did she do something that would make Wen Ying unhappy under the banner of doing good for Wen Ying.
Wen Ying was really happy.
Even though Chen Ru wanted to pack her luggage and return to Chengdu soon, and even though Wen Ying couldn't even get the second prize, it couldn't stop Wen Ying's joy.
The biggest gain from this trip to Shanghai was not winning the award or helping Xie Qian buy a house, but confirming Chen Ru’s change!
Chen Ru felt uncomfortable when Wen Ying looked at her.
Regardless of whether something has changed or not, Chen Ru felt that she didn't call Wu Chunqin because she couldn't afford to lose face.
In Wen Ying's mouth, it seemed to be more meaningful than winning an award.
Chen Ru looked uneasy. She pushed away her shameless daughter who was clinging to her arm, stood up and straightened her hair.
"I don't want to waste time talking to you about this. You're going to the awards ceremony, so go ahead. I wonder if you'll regret it after seeing others win awards!"
Chen Ru changed her mind and decided to attend the award ceremony again.
Wen Ying followed behind with a playful smile.
"If I didn't win the award, then I didn't win the award. I'll just consider it as experience and try again next year."
You wish.
It’s not certain whether we can qualify for the semi-finals next year.
If I fail to make the cut, I won’t be able to ask Wu Chunqin for help.
The mother and daughter arrived at the venue one after another.
They were late and the venue was already full.
Chen Ru was not the only parent who accompanied the contestants to the semi-finals. Wen Ying had met Song Chan with other contestants in the hotel, and only saw Song Chan's parents at the award ceremony today.
He looks like Song Chan's father.
She has the same temperament as Song Chan, with shoulder-length hair and a thin figure, the type whose gender is easily misunderstood when viewed from behind.
Wen Ying recalled some rumors in school.
Some people like Song Chan, and naturally some people don’t like Song Chan.
People who like Song Chan praise her as a talented woman, while people who don't like Song Chan try their best to dig up negative information about her.
Those people said that Song Chan was able to publish books and join the Sichuan Writers Association because she had a good father.
When Song's father was young, he was a famous local poet in Chengdu and had published several poetry collections.
Such people will naturally be absorbed by the Writers Association.
Later, Song's father became the editor-in-chief of a magazine in Chengdu.
These were all revealed by Song Chan herself, but were seized upon by the haters, who used them as negative information to attack her. Later, Song Chan learned her lesson and never mentioned her family background again. Wen Ying didn't know whether Song's father was still the editor-in-chief.
——No wonder her manager Chen is so anxious.
Looking around the whole audience, there are countless contestants like Song Chan who have a family background in literature. The literary circle is not very big, and most of the people active in it know each other.
Song's father may or may not know one of the judges. Chen Ru was afraid that Wen Ying did not lose to others in the article, but was suppressed by someone using connections, so she went to find Wu Chunqin.
