Chapter 55
Qi Xenjin arrived a bit late, wanting all the attention for herself as she entered the grand ballroom of Grand Riviera Hotel. She was wearing a flowy lavender gown which made her look young and fresh. She specifically told Hui Ruo to pick a dress that would make her look like a princess. She was satisfied with the result.
She wore an innocent smile on her face as she spotted the reporters at the door.
When the reporters saw her, they immediately called her.
"Qi Xenjin, give me a smile!"
"Xenjin! Here! Smile!"
"This side, please! Tell us who made your dress? You look stunning!"
"Look here, Xenjin! You look pretty!"
As the press tried to get her pictures, she smiled and obligingly turned their way. The shutter of each camera and the flicker of each light gave Qi Xenjin a boost. It uplifted her spirit as she showed a triumphant smile.
A particular comment from the press made her giddy. "You're red carpet ready, Xenjin! You're the best dress here tonight. Tell us your thought."
Thinking that Xu Jia Li was already inside, she answered, "Thank you but this night isn't for me but for Senior Xu. She will always be the best dress as she's been in the industry for a long time."
"You really are a darling, Xenjin. You are even more beautiful because of your spotless character." The reporter wearing a blue long sleeve said. "Isn't she adorable?"
All the other reporters agreed as they took more photos of her.
"But tell us, who designed your gown?"
" I'm proud of our artists and I support our local designers so this one was made by a local designer from Huan s.h.i.+ang."
"She's really a princess. She even supports our local designer. What a lovely young lady!"
Acting all shy, she bowed her head and thanked them. She slowly made her way inside and dialled Hui Ruo's number.
"Manager Hui, I think I outs.h.i.+ned Xu Jia Li tonight. In her own Welcome Party! Ha ha ha!"
"I told you, didn't I? You're better than Xu Jia Li." Hui Ruo answered, afraid to inform Qi Xenjin that Xu Jia Li wasn't in the venue yet. She knew that she would have to endure her anger later when she found out.
"Poor b.i.t.c.h! Ha ha ha! Now, Hui Ruo, find Yun-ge. " Without even waiting for Hui Ruo's answer, she ended the call and proceeded inside. Thinking all so high, she walked confidently and smiled at the people she saw.
Upon arriving inside, Qi Xenjin was in awe when she saw how beautiful the venue was. The place was huge yet it was filled with beautiful flowers she couldn't even name – white, pink, lilac, yellow and blue. The place looked like it was from a fairy tale.
She turned her head around and saw that many celebrities from Sun and Star were present including all the famous directors in the industry. The sight made her heart ached with bitterness.
In the left side corner was a long table where colourful balloons and different cakes could be seen. This was probably the gifts of her fans as she saw one balloon with the words written, We love you, our queen! She wanted to throw all the cakes on the floor. She wanted to yelling as she stomped her feet on those balloons. She was beginning to hate everything inside.
She looked ahead and saw a huge glittering banner with congratulations hanging on stage. Lanterns with the shape of a ball were hanging on the ceiling as if magic made them float.

A sudden strike of jealousy made Qi Xenjin clenched her fists. 'How can she have parties like this when I never even have a celebration as grand as this?!' She was fuming with anger as she found a table near the stage. She sat as she dialled Hui Ruo's number again.
"Have you found Yun-ge?"
"Yes, Xenjin. He's with me now."
"Good. I can't stand being here. I need Yun-ge by my side."
"Don't worry. We'll be there now."
"Why haven't I seen Xu b.i.t.c.h? I wanna see her ugly old face as she stares at my beauty. I know how hard it would be being outs.h.i.+ned by – "
Qi Xenjin didn't finish her words when the host announced Xu Jia Li's arrival. "Our dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, let us all welcome the star of this night. She's no other than Asia's Multi-Talented Queen herself, Xu Jia Li!"
She stiffened as if cold water was poured on her whole body. Her mouth agaped, no words came out as she stared at the beautiful lady walking towards the stage. Xu Jia Li was wearing a deep emerald color gown, encrusted with diamond which hugged her whole body. The lower part was mermaid-style with a two-meter train which looked like it was covered by snow. She looked like a G.o.ddess who descended from heaven.
Qi Xenjin didn't know what to feel. She clenched her fists as she dropped her phone on the carpeted floor. As Xu Jia Li pa.s.sed by her, she heard people say, "I never see someone more beautiful than Xu Jia Li."
She looked bitterly at her and cursed through her breath, "You f.u.c.king b.i.t.c.h!"
