Chapter 1762: Chapter 1762: The Higher You Climb, the Harder You Fall

As Jian Dan and Qin Rou were still on the red carpet, another car slowly drove up.

At the moment the car door opened, Jian Dan nearly tripped.

Liang Jingjing and He Qi stepped out from the car, wearing standard official smiles and exquisite makeup.

The reason Jian Dan almost fell was because of their outfits.

They might as well have been half-dressed; it was like two pieces of fabric wrapped around them, and even those seemed to be leftovers.

"Rou, we better hurry inside! If I keep looking, I’m really going to get an eye infection!" Jian Dan reached out to Qin Rou beside her and said.

"I brought eye drops, we’ll both use some when we’re inside, just as a precaution!" Qin Rou held Jian Dan’s hand, and the two quickly turned and entered the venue.

Before the film festival began, there was a small cocktail party for those who arrived early to rest.

"Rou, I’m going to the restroom!"

Jian Dan never expected that just a restroom visit could lead to trouble.

When Jian Dan returned to the cocktail party, many people were gathered at the spot where she and Qin Rou had parted.

Jian Dan sensed trouble and walked over quickly...

"This woman looks glamorous, but she’s actually been to prison." He Qi announced Qin Rou’s past for everyone to hear, without sparing her any dignity.

As the head of the artist department at New E Media, many people knew Qin Rou, and after hearing He Qi’s words, they began whispering amongst themselves.

He Qi looked at Qin Rou with a mocking expression.

Jian Dan picked up a glass of red wine from a nearby table, pushed through the crowd to Qin Rou’s side, and held Qin Rou’s tightly clenched hand. A moment later, she splashed the glass of red wine directly on He Qi’s face.

"Ah—how dare you splash me?" He Qi looked at Jian Dan with a distorted face.

"I’m just teaching you how to behave," Jian Dan retorted coldly.

Liang Jingjing, witnessing the scene, smiled slightly and signaled to her manager.

The manager took out a phone and started recording Jian Dan and the others.

"Stop arguing, it’s really unbecoming to make such a scene in front of so many people!" Liang Jingjing feigned persuasion.

"She splashed me with wine first! If we want to call it even, let me splash her back." He Qi said, grabbing another glass from the table to throw at Jian Dan, but Jian Dan swiftly dodged, then picked up another glass of wine and splashed it at He Qi again.

Liang Jingjing smiled as if this was the effect she wanted. She pretended to protect He Qi, stepping in front of her, only to have the entire glass of red wine pour over her face...

"It’s time to enter the venue," at that moment the staff announced the entrance.

"Let’s head in, let’s just leave it at that," Liang Jingjing said, seeming pitiful and fragile, yet showing generosity and kindness.

Everyone headed into the venue, momentarily setting aside the conflict.

Jian Dan originally came to represent New E Media, just for a quick appearance, but she never expected an unexpected surprise; she walked away with the most prestigious Best Actress award of the night.

This award was something Liang Jingjing was certain to win, but it was snatched by an unexpected rival.

"Jingjing, don’t feel bad, you didn’t get it this time, but you definitely will next time!" the manager comforted.

"Ha! You like winning awards, huh? Sure, enjoy it! I’m upset? No, I’m not upset at all! Haven’t you heard? The higher you climb, the harder you fall.

Let’s see if Jian Dan can still smile like that after tomorrow!" Liang Jingjing’s eyes were filled with malice...
