Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband Chapter 2348 Twins

2348 Twins
Mrs. Chen then said to Old Madam Qiao, “That must be because you taught her well, Old Madam. She has the air of a big shot and has managed to keep a clean reputation in the entertainment industry all this while. Speaking of which, who doesn’t envy you and Jierou?”
Old Madam Qiao picked up her teacup and took a sip. “It’s not certain that Jierou will win the award tonight. Please stay and watch. Anyway, it’s just a child’s play. Everyone, join in the fun.”
“Old Madam, you’re too humble. It’s already very good that she could be nominated for an award like the Golden Crown Film Awards. Since Jierou was nominated, she’ll be a role model for all our children.”
“That’s right, that’s right. If she really wins the award, it’ll be amazing.”
“Old Madam is really amazing.”
Old Master Qiao sat at the side in silence.
No one dared to disturb him. Their attention was focused on Old Madam Qiao.
Old Madam Qiao drank her tea slowly with a relaxed and proud expression. Everyone looked at her and guessed that Qiao Jierou would definitely win the award tonight.
As for Qiao Weiyang?
Everyone knew very well that Old Madam Qiao didn’t like Qiao Weiyang. They knew that there was no need to mention it, lest it caused unhappiness.
Everyone was thinking of flattering Old Madam Qiao in their hearts. When the award was announced later, they would be able to praise Old Madam Qiao directly.
Turning their gazes back to the live broadcast, everyone watched as the emcee started the announcement.
“Now, let’s invite the former Best Actor, Zhu Xu, who has won the Golden Crown Film Awards three times, to announce today’s Best Actress and present her with an award.”
Following the emcee’s words, Zhu Xu appeared with a sealed envelope in his hand. He opened it and saw the name on it. He smiled and said, “Congratulations… Miss Qiao.”
Hearing the words ‘Miss Qiao’, Qiao Jierou almost stood up.
The camera immediately moved toward her. There was a slight mistake in the management of her expression, and everyone saw her anxious mentality.
However, this was unavoidable, so no one mocked her. They only laughed kindly.
“Congratulations, Qiao Weiyang, for winning the Best Actress award at the 12th Golden Crown Film Awards. Please come on stage to receive the award,” Zhu Xu said loudly.
The lights and cameras immediately focused on Qiao Weiyang, leaving only a few on Qiao Jierou’s side.
Hearing that it was Qiao Weiyang who won the award, the audience began to applaud. Everyone had seen White Fox, and they acknowledged her performance in it.
Qiao Weiyang herself was a little surprised. After all, she had already heard about the contact between Qiao Jierou and Huang Shitao.
She did not expect this outcome.
Qiao Jierou was even more surprised. The smile on her face suddenly froze, and she could not believe the truth in front of her.
Lin Heng’s confident expression was also frozen, looking very unnatural.
He received Qiao Jierou’s gaze and turned to look at her, indicating with his eyes that he was not aware of the current situation.
Qiao Jierou’s palms were covered in sweat, but she felt as though she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She had already bought many marketing accounts, predicting that she would win the award. She had even reserved interviews with reporters and the cover of magazines.
How was she going to face this?
This was no longer just a matter of losing her dignity!
The scene at the Qiao family’s side also froze. Old Madam Qiao’s smile froze on her face.
Huang Shumin’s eyes widened, and her mouth opened slightly. She suspected that she had heard wrongly, but she did see Qiao Weiyang standing up. Qiao Weiyang’s name was also on the screen.
All the guests sitting in the Qiao family did not dare to speak for a moment. They looked at each other.
If the person who won the award was someone else, it would’ve been fine. Everyone could just tease the family for a while.
However, the winner was Qiao Weiyang… This made everyone speechless.
“Old Madam Qiao, I just remembered that there’s something urgent at home, so I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll go back first.”
“Yes, I still have something to do. I’ll come again next time.”
After one or two people stood up, everyone else stood up and left.
Old Madam Qiao was in no mood to care about them.
At this moment, only Old Master Qiao was staring at the screen. His expression was not as heavy as before.
Qiao Weiyang walked onto the stage in disbelief. Everyone could see that she was not mentally prepared at all.
“Weiyang, congratulations.” Zhu Xu was a senior, and his tone was very tolerant.
“Thank you, Senior.” Qiao Weiyang reached out to take the trophy, held the microphone, and said, “And thank you, everyone. The success of a movie has never been the work of only one person. I wouldn’t have been able to stand here without the joint efforts and struggles of the entire team. I’m standing here not only because I was recognized, but also because the entire team was. Thank you again.”
She held the trophy and let everyone take photos of her.
Her beautiful and magnificent facial features, coupled with the bright red color of her dress, gave her a natural sense of nobility.
The diamond necklace on her neck glowed, accentuating her nobility.
She looked up at the VIP room and paused for a moment, revealing a gentle smile.
In the private room, Su Zhuoqian held a glass of red wine and raised it in her direction.
They couldn’t see each other, but they both knew that the other party was here.
After Qiao Weiyang got the trophy and got off the stage, Director Cao said happily, “Congratulations, Weiyang.”
“Congratulations, Weiyang. You really deserve it.” Her colleagues in the production team were very happy for her, especially when Qiao Weiyang mentioned their hard work. It made everyone acknowledge her even more.
“Congratulations.”
Qiao Weiyang sat down, and endless words of congratulations came from beside her.
Only Qiao Jierou sat still. She recalled Qiao Weiyang’s diamond necklace in a daze. Looking at the gorgeous necklace, she seemed to understand something.
Lin Heng grabbed her hand, and only then did she react. She said to Qiao Weiyang, “Sister, congratulations.”
“Weiyang, congratulations,” Lin Heng said in a low voice.
Qiao Weiyang smiled and did not respond.
When the award ceremony ended, the reporters gathered around, wanting to interview Qiao Weiyang.
Some of the reporters who had been invited by Qiao Jierou were at a loss. How were they going to interview her at this time?
Should they go up to Qiao Jierou directly and ask her how she felt about not having won the award?
How were they going to publish such articles?
They had no choice but to immediately adjust their work thinking. They decided to interview Qiao Weiyang directly. This way, they could obtain first-hand information and not be left behind by the other media.
Qiao Weiyang said to everyone, “I’ll answer only five questions. Sorry, I’m in a hurry tonight.”
