The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage - Chapter 994

Chapter 994: Was He Here To Accompany Her?

Yang Ling looked at Nan Gongyu beside her. “Director Nan Gongyu, it’s truly an honor to have the chance to meet you here this time.”

She had never met Nan Gongyu before as they were in different circles. No one had ever introduced them to each other, either. Nan Gongyu was famous for being picky and eccentric. He liked to produce art films, so the actors and actresses he selected were basically of that type too. Yang Ling had always had a sexy image, so naturally, there was a mismatch between them.

However, right now, after the movie he had filmed this time, Nan Gongyu’s status had skyrocketed quickly. He was definitely no longer an art film director but had immediately risen in rank to become one of the best directors. Since he had entered the billion-dollar movie club, he would definitely have even greater resources in the future.

If she could rub shoulders with such a director, her status would change entirely if she could act in one of his movies in the future.

However, Nan Gongyu glanced at Yang Ling and simply turned around coldly, letting out a snort through his nose.

“I didn’t expect to see you at the Golden Name Awards either.”

He glanced at her condescendingly. Nan Gongyu’s intentions were undeniable. He felt that she was utterly undeserving of attending the Golden Name Awards.

Yang Ling’s face darkened.

Everyone could hear him since he had said it in front of so many people.

They had also seen how Nan Gongyu was obviously disdainful of her.

Immediately, Yang Ling was completely humiliated. Her complexion darkened quickly as well. She could not bear the embarrassment and stood there for a moment. Her face alternated between dark and light shades as if it was a color palette.

It was a long time before she glared in Lin Che’s direction and huffed forcefully.

She walked past the two of them haughtily as if not seeing the mocking expressions of the people around them.

However, she had already exploded internally from anger.

This Nan Gongyu had humiliated her too much.

Lin Che glanced askance in Yang Ling’s direction and said to Nan Gongyu, “You did that in front of so many people. You will offend her very easily.”

Nan Gongyu asked, “Do you think I’m afraid of offending such a person?”

Lin Che looked at him. She felt that the way he abhorred Yang Ling as if she was his personal enemy was quite amusing.

She liked being friends with such people.

Yang Ling did not stop glaring at Lin Che from behind her.

The distance between the two of them was not small. As Lin Che’s movie was way too well-known, the organizers had allocated her a seat that was closer to the front so that it would be easier for the cameras to capture her facial expressions as and when.

As for Yang Ling, she was seated closer to the back since her movie had indeed not sold as well as Lin Che’s.

Yang Ling watched Nan Gongyu chatter happily away with Lin Che over there. He was behaving in a completely different manner from how he had treated her with disdain earlier. Yang Ling felt even more incensed for a moment.

Why did each and every one of these men treat Lin Che so well?

And just then, the award ceremony began in front of them amidst everyone’s cheers.

The grand award ceremony was broadcast live on television and online.

The reactions of the netizens were enthusiastic. They had instinctively started discussing the red carpet looks of the celebrities earlier.

Everyone had different views on Yang Ling’s red carpet look. However, Yang Ling had indeed attained her objective. She had garnered a lot of attention instantly, leaving so many women in the dust. Although they cursed at her on the surface, they were envious deep inside.

As for Lin Che, her outfit was extremely grand. It made everyone feel that she had the aura of a young lady from an influential family. She was different from someone like Yang Ling, who had to rely on clothing to stand out.

At the venue, Lin Che had already kept her phone away a long time ago. She was totally not in the mood to look at her phone.

The winner for each category was announced one by one. Their movie had won awards in several categories, such as musical accompaniment, scriptwriting, and scene transitions.

Subsequently, when it was time to announce the winner for Best Supporting Actress, Yang Ling went on stage to receive her award, as expected. It made everyone sigh repeatedly.

Yang Ling could not stop crying, and she looked very pretentious. She gave a long-winded speech thanking everyone. It made Lin Che feel as if she was watching the television.

After walking down from the stage, Yang Ling even deliberately shook the little gold man in front of Lin Che.

Lin Che pretended that she had not seen it. However, when she cast her gaze on the stage, she herself indeed harbored some expectations.

After all, this was already her second time getting nominated.

The last time she had attended the ceremony, she had not won obviously because Mu Feiran was at the peak of her popularity and no one could possibly match up to her.

But it was different this time. Those who had been nominated were well-matched in strength. It could be any one of them.

As a result, the atmosphere at the venue became even more heated. Everyone became more and more nervous as they got to the grand prize at the end because every one of the people who had gotten nominated had a genuine possibility of winning the award.

Nan Gongyu watched Lin Che fiddle with her hands nervously beside him. Then, he smiled and said, “Don’t be nervous. Why are you nervous?”

Lin Che glared at him in a sour mood. “Of course, you’re not nervous. You’re not involved.”

“I didn’t get the award for Best Director earlier, but I just let it be.”

“Hehe. It’s because every one of those directors is as precious as national treasures. How could you possibly win the award? Tough it out for a few more years if you want to win the award.” In her moment of anxiety, Lin Che’s tongue was venomous as well.

It was also because she was familiar with Nan Gongyu. She knew that he would not be angry at all because of this, so she did not need to think when she said it.

Just as she had expected, Nan Gongyu laughed out loud and said, “In that case, why are you nervous? Let it be if it’s not your turn. Hey, look. Isn’t that person over there your husband?”

Lin Che froze immediately. She lifted her head and instinctively looked into the distance.

She looked around but did not see him.

It was Nan Gongyu who tugged impatiently at her for her to look upwards.

“Silly girl. He’s up there.”

Lin Che froze once again before lifting her head to take a look.

Only then did she remember that this circular venue had two levels. However, the upper level was blocked off and no one was allowed up there.

This was because the lower level was big enough. For the scene to look nice on camera, the organizers did not want the upper level to look sparse.

There weren’t many audience members here. This was basically an award ceremony for and by people in the movie industry.

As there was an unusually large number of fans, they were all stopped outside. Inside the venue, there were only a few political leaders and other people with connections.

However, Gu Jingze had actually managed to get up there.

Lin Che looked at him closely, deeply afraid that she had seen wrongly. However, she was right. That was indeed her husband.

He was wearing a dark gray casual suit with his arms crossed in front of him. He stood there with a hint of a smile in his wicked and alluring gaze. Despite the great distance between them, he seemed to be looking over here.

He was looking at her.

In no time, his pitch-black gaze seemed to attract all of Lin Che’s attention. Immediately, all thoughts escaped Lin Che, except the thought that he was actually here.

He had come here without even informing her. Seriously…

Had he come here on the sly because he wanted to accompany her?

Nan Gongyu instinctively turned to take a look when he saw that her complexion had improved immensely in the blink of an eye.

It seemed that it was really her husband.

Nan Gongyu asked, “What exactly is your husband’s identity?”

“Huh? “What?” Lin Che asked in confusion.

Nan Gongyu asked, “How did he manage to get up there?”

Was that a place where someone without an invitation or a prominent status or position could go to?

To begin with, this was the most significant movie award ceremony in the country, so security was extremely tight. Armed police officers were surrounding the venue outside and the special forces were on duty. Everyone was afraid that problems would crop up.

But this man was standing up there so naturally with no one around him.
