Chapter 1292 - 1217: Music Awards Ceremony
After the last lesson, Ye Qingfeng was too lazy to deal with those bothersome reporters. With a sweep of Divine Sense, he found Yun Xi wasn’t home at all, nor were Piao Xue and Little Yue.
Fortunately, Ye Qingfeng had Piao Xue and Little Yue’s phone numbers, no need to reach out to Yun Yu. Ye Qingfeng took out his phone and called Little Yue directly.
"Master." As soon as the call was connected, Little Yue’s slightly surprised voice came from the other end.
"Are you with Yun Xi now? Where are you all?" Ye Qingfeng asked directly.
"Yes, Miss Yun Xi attended an awards ceremony. My sister and I came along to protect her. We’re now at the Blue Rain Hotel in Hai City."
"Alright, I’ll be right over!"
Ye Qingfeng hung up the phone and flew directly to the Blue Rain Hotel.
At Blue Rain Hotel, there was a grand music awards ceremony today, impressive in scale, with live streaming on site, making it very lively.
The security at the entrance was also quite strict; no ticket, no entry. Ye Qingfeng stealthily made his way inside the hotel.
The Blue Rain Hotel was like a large park; the actual awards ceremony was inside. Outside, apart from celebrities, there were also many fans of the stars.
The special boulevard was covered in a red carpet, with various lights shining. On both sides, security guards blocked passionate fans, who would erupt into a frenzy of screams when a celebrity passed by.
Yun Xi wore a light yellow long dress today, her face still exquisite, though slightly weary.
Without a male companion, she walked the red carpet alone. Even without meticulous grooming, Yun Xi’s appearance amongst a group of stars was still top-notch.
However, when Yun Xi walked past the red carpet, she did not elicit cheers like the other artists, but instead provoked a series of mocking voices.
"Yun Xi, get out of the entertainment industry!"
"Murderer, a life for a life!"
"Yun Xi, don’t you feel guilty?"
Suddenly, the surrounding fans started shouting. Ma Ling’s death had caused a big stir, and even Yun Xi’s fans found it hard to believe.
Moreover, news of Yun Xi being kept by a wealthy patron emerged, deeply disappointing fans. Yun Xi was no longer their innocent goddess, becoming vulgar and money-driven, and they naturally stopped supporting Yun Xi.
Although security continued to block excited fans on both sides, as long as the fans only verbally abused and did not charge forward, they weren’t dealt with.
"Haha, is this once-famed Yun Xi, with numerous fans and titled as the little diva of the music world? Now it has come to this?"
"She is seeking her own doom, thinking she’s remarkable after latching onto a powerful leg. Now she’s caused national outrage; even the most influential wealthy patron couldn’t protect her."
Behind Yun Xi was also a pair of stars, a man and a woman, walking together. The woman wore a silver long dress with a slit in the back, revealing her bare skin.
Yun Xi slightly remembered these two; they were from the same company, but just minor celebrities who used to follow Yun Xi warmly calling her Sister Yun Xi.
Yun Xi smiled gently, not getting angry. She understood the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and the pretenses since her first day in the entertainment industry.
Now she became everyone’s target; she couldn’t even find a male partner willing to accompany her. In the past, no matter how dazzling the male celebrity was, they longed to walk the red carpet with Yun Xi.
"Yun Xi really came. She has the gall to show up after causing Sister Ling’s death. Does she think that money and power allow her to do what she wants?"
"The entertainment industry is so dark. Sister Ling is dead now, yet Yun Xi can still attend the awards ceremony unharmed. Isn’t anyone going to intervene?"
Since this was live-streamed online, as soon as Yun Xi appeared, the live broadcast exploded, and the viewership numbers surged rapidly.
No matter Yun Xi’s current reputation, her fame remained intact. The death of Sister Ling attracted public attention, and nearly everyone in the live stream was waiting for Yun Xi’s appearance.
But they weren’t there to support Yun Xi, rather to curse. "Yun Xi, get out of the entertainment industry" dominated the entire barrage.
An entertainment news company’s office.
"Boss, our live broadcast’s viewership is increasing crazily; it’s broken through fifty thousand!" A tech staff reported.
The number he reported was real, not the inflated multiple times count from ordinary broadcasts, so thirty thousand was a lot.
"And it’s still rising, about to break sixty thousand!" The technician continued excitedly.
"Good, good! Give all the camera shots to Yun Xi; let’s hope she takes her time on the red carpet!" The boss waved his hand excitedly.
He didn’t care about Yun Xi’s reputation; as long as more viewers entered the live broadcast, it was good. And now with high barrage numbers, it showed that the focus was very high.
This was just one entertainment news outlet; this scene simultaneously appeared in various live broadcast rooms, with ten thousand, twenty thousand views surging crazily after Yun Xi’s appearance.
"Focus all cameras on Yun Xi; if they want to curse, let them curse to their heart’s content!"
For a moment, all reporters present aimed their cameras at Yun Xi, flashing non-stop, capturing shots for tomorrow’s news.
Du Jing was also one of the reporters today because she covered Yun Xi’s previous press conference, so she came to interview again.
Listening to the angry curses from surrounding fans, she sighed slightly in her heart, watching a once-promising little diva of the music world fall to a state where everyone shouted to beat.
Moreover, she knew the mysterious wealthy patron was Ye Qingfeng. Whether Ye Qingfeng was a wealthy patron, she wasn’t sure, but she knew Ye Qingfeng did have the ability to kill Ma Ling.
At Yanglong, she personally witnessed Ye Qingfeng easily killing those robbers with a raise of his hand.
Yun Xi walked to the steps, where stars signed and took photos. At this time, a meticulously-made-up female star had just signed and was being photographed by the media.
This female star wore a gorgeous evening dress that showcased her figure perfectly, with a warm smile and friendly hand wave toward the camera.
"Yun Xi, I didn’t expect you would come too," said the female star with a slight smile.
Yun Xi glanced at her without speaking. She was from the same company named Mu Feilin; however, unlike the two female stars behind, Mu Feilin was a popular figure in the entertainment industry.
Mu Feilin entered the scene a bit earlier, was well-received, and became the company’s favored candidate. However, when Yun Xi debuted, she caused a huge sensation.
