Chapter 1605: Chapter 930: Grant Her Dignity, Let Her Die Magnificently [Mass Update, Comment]

The autumn rain was cold, accompanied by doubts, denunciations, and curses... Amidst all these voices, Tang Wan’s solo exhibition proceeded as scheduled.

This exhibition seemed to be a dilemma.

Animal rights activists resisted, and it was rumored that Third Master of the Fu Family would bring his young wife to fight against it.

It was completely detrimental without any benefits, and no one understood why Tang Wan was so determined to hold it.

Normal people know to seek benefits and avoid harm; Tang Wan should be even more aware of weighing the pros and cons.

"If it doesn’t happen as scheduled, it would only mean all the doubts are true, and she’s backing down."

"Yes, that would be tacit admission. She’s scared, and it’s not just her; the Jiang Family’s face can’t be saved. They can only grit their teeth and proceed, taking it one step at a time."

"I’m really curious about what will happen at the exhibition."

...

The exhibition hadn’t started yet, but after the promotional posters were spread out, the Exhibition Center had become a popular spot for taking photos. Many people had already come to take pictures and leave their marks.

The news of Yu Zhen’s participation also sparked a heated discussion among the animal rights activists.

Among so many activists, she was relatively well-known. If she went to support Tang Wan, could it prove that Tang Wan had nothing to do with the kingfisher incident?

"Yu Zhen went to help her. After so many days, the police haven’t taken any action. Maybe the kingfisher incident really has nothing to do with Tang Wan."

"Did she get paid? It seems like she’s eating any food, disregarding her own reputation."

"Let’s wait for the police investigation results."

The internet was filled with all kinds of voices, but Yu Zhen was still thinking about what clothes to wear that day.

On the day of the solo exhibition

The sky was clear and sunny, a rare bright autumn day. Entry to the exhibition began at nine, and it officially started at ten.

Even when the sun was just rising, many people had come to line up and secure a spot. Entry didn’t require an invitation, and anyone could enter, but space was limited. Once the specified number was reached, no more would be allowed in.

Some media reporters even stayed at the entrance from the night before.

Even though it was autumn, mosquitos were still rampant, and being in the suburbs, these people hadn’t escaped being bitten by bugs.

Except for the security staff who patrolled 24 hours, other staff and employees of Tang Wan’s studio arrived at the venue around six to start preparations for the exhibition.

Soon, journalists photographed Tang Wan arriving, followed closely by Yu Zhen’s car. They couldn’t get too close but managed to take a few pictures from a distance.

Outside, more and more people began to flock in from various directions.

Some came specifically to see the Cyan Feather, some were animal rights activists, but the majority were just bystanders.

The security guard on duty, seeing the situation, glanced at his watch:

"It’s only a little after seven. These people are fighting to be the first to eat the melon. The Exhibition Center is in the suburbs. They must have come out when it was still dark."

"The reporters are even more desperate. They didn’t leave at all last night."

"We better keep our wits about today. If anything happens, we’ll all be in trouble."

...

Tang Wan had already finished discussing the final procedures with the person in charge at the Exhibition Center.

"And on Miss Yu’s side..." Yu Zhen was the host and master of ceremonies for this exhibition, and the person in charge wanted to communicate with her.

"She should be in makeup preparing. I’ll go talk to her," Tang Wan smiled.

"That works." The person in charge looked at Yu Zhen coming over, her entourage seemed significant, and he didn’t want to deal directly with her.

Tang Wan knocked on the dressing room door. Yu Zhen was familiarizing herself with the script, while the makeup artist was beside her, applying makeup.

"Ms. Tang, you’re here. Please sit down." Yu Zhen couldn’t move around freely and asked her assistant to attend to her.

"Don’t bother with me. I’m just here to see if you need anything," Tang Wan smiled.

"Everything’s fine."

Tang Wan’s gaze fell on a long dress hanging to the side. If she remembered correctly, it might be a custom piece from a brand several years ago. Si Qingxiao, who was quite versed in fashion, found the dress impressive and had shown it to her.

Nowadays, many celebrities borrow clothes from brands for events, and those wearing this season’s new designs were rare, with most getting last year’s styles.

Certain brands care a lot about who wears their clothes. Brand positioning is important, and not everyone can wear pieces, even from a few years ago.

If she got this dress, it probably took quite some effort.

"Ms. Tang, what are you looking at..." Yu Zhen saw her staring at her dress in a daze and was somewhat pleased.

"The dress is pretty," Tang Wan smiled.

She just didn’t understand how some people could be so self-satisfied, thinking nobody knew what they were truly like behind the scenes.

Even if heading toward "doom," must they still dress gorgeously?

Tang Wan felt that if she didn’t let her "die" spectacularly, it wouldn’t do justice to that dress.

"Thank you." Yu Zhen knew that many people she usually couldn’t reach were coming to the event today. Naturally, she had to be fully prepared to make an appearance, "Ms. Tang, aren’t you going to put on some makeup?"

"No, I have other things to do. I’ll be going now."

After Tang Wan left, Yu Zhen’s assistant muttered softly:

"The heavens are unfair. Born well, married well, and still beautiful. I thought the pictures online might be retouched, but her skin in person is even better, nothing like someone who’s had a child."

"Even with casual clothes, she carries such grace. It’s all built with money, I guess."

"And her husband is good. The last time I saw her son, he was so well-behaved. I can’t help but be envious."

Yu Zhen continued to review the script, and saying she wasn’t envious would be a lie.

Every day she put on a facade, acting cute for the fans, maintaining traffic, hoping they would reward her more. Sometimes comparing oneself to others could truly infuriate a person.

Hopefully, she could meet a few people today.

"Zhenzhen, do you think there’s actually anything going on between Si Family’s member and Tang Wan..." The assistant was still worried.

The moment Yu Zhen heard the word "Si," she seemed to have a physiological reaction, a faint blue tint on her face.

...

After leaving the makeup room, Tang Wan directly coordinated with Chen Zhi on various details of the exhibition.

"Wanwan, are you really ready? Outside the Exhibition Center, it’s crowded with people, especially the animal rights activists. They wish they could rush in and devour you."

Even though Tang Wan had shared her plan with him to set his mind at ease, the complex exterior situation still made him worry about any extremists causing trouble on the spot.

"Things have gotten so big, and if I don’t make it even bigger, I can’t clear my name."

Many people simply hurled insults at Tang Wan; even the statements from her studio were ignored.

She might as well make a bigger splash so everyone pays attention, and then clarify things face to face.

"I’m of an age now where following you day by day keeps me on edge." Chen Zhi sighed helplessly, "Hurry up and get ready. It’s already eight-thirty, getting close to the opening time. Today is bound to be a hard battle."

Tang Wan nodded.

As time drew near...

A long line had already formed outside the exhibition. Everyone was whispering, wondering just how many people would turn up today.

Some even imagined a scene where Song Fengwan would tear into Tang Wan.

Now, Song Fengwan wasn’t very old. Back then, the scene where she publicly confronted her teacher over plagiarism made her famous. Later, she married Fu Third Master and had a son with him before graduating from college. This matter still fascinated people.

As Mr. Yan’s stepdaughter, she’s now working for the Yan family, surely to seek justice.

The onlooking bystanders relished the drama, gathering to discuss which of the two would have the upper hand.

"I think it’s the Third Master’s young wife. After all, Tang Wan has done wrong. The overlap of the online images is so high; how could the design concepts clash? Surely it’s a case of shared sensing?"

"But this is Tang Wan’s venue, and she’s quite formidable too. It’s really hard to say. Causing trouble on someone’s turf requires some deliberation because if it blows up, it’s no longer just between the two of them."

"The Jiang Family, Fu Family, it’s like they’ve never faced off before. Who do you think is stronger? It feels like they each have their strengths. Unless they have a direct confrontation, we won’t know what cards they’re hiding. I’m looking forward to it."

"Let’s make a bet. Anyone interested in placing stakes?"

...

Queuing up alone gave these bystanders some fun ways to pass the time.

Meanwhile, at Beijing Airport, a plane had already landed, from which came two people, a large and a small one, under the blazing sunshine.

"I really don’t like Beijing’s climate; it’s too dry."

"It’s not as comfortable as the humid southern climate, which is pleasant for living and retirement. Suddenly coming to such a dry place is quite an adjustment."

"The climate has improved over the past couple of years, the environment’s gotten better. In previous years, those were really something else..."

The little one walking beside him didn’t speak but quietly took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on.
