Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Crowning You 1
Muying’s title of Goddess can only belong to her!
The crowd surrounded Dong Yingluo like stars around the moon, generously praising her and belittling Ning Xixi—
"Yingluo, I knew you would be first!"
"Yes, it’s truly deserved. Unlike some people who just piggyback on the heartthrob’s popularity..."
"What does it matter if she piggybacked? In the end, isn’t it our Yingluo who won with genuine ability?"
Cheng Youran listened with indignation, "Have you people had enough..."
Ning Xixi held her back, shaking her head at her, signaling her not to mind these people.
They were merely petty people who lifted themselves by putting others down; the more she dealt with them, the more vigorous they became.
Her disdain, in Dong Yingluo’s eyes, turned into a timid retreat.
After fully enjoying everyone’s compliments, she smiled gracefully, "Thank you everyone, I’m going to receive my award on stage now."
"Go ahead!"
Holding up her white ancient-style dress, she walked onto the stage.
The host chuckled awkwardly, "Congratulations to our student Dong Yingluo, let’s give her a warm round of applause!"
There were only a sparse few claps at the venue, which was quite awkward.
Dong Yingluo couldn’t understand why this was happening.
She wanted the admiration of everyone at school and compliments that treated her like a goddess.
Are these people blind? Why are they so indifferent?
She anxiously searched the crowd below, and when she locked eyes with Ji Yebai’s deep and cold gaze, her heart skipped a beat.
Ji Yebai...I am now a goddess, I am worthy of you... she silently repeated in her heart.
The Principal walked onto the stage, and a pageant girl presented a tray with a glittering crown.
"Congratulations."
"Thank you, Principal," Dong Yingluo smiled innocently and charmingly.
Just as the Principal was about to place the crown on her head, a loud shout came from the entrance of the auditorium, "Wait a moment!"
Startled, the Principal almost dropped the crown.
Everyone was puzzled, what was this person doing?
A middle-aged, slightly overweight man rushed onto the stage, grabbed a microphone, and said breathlessly, "We received a report from a student, and upon technical investigation, we found evidence in the data of this Goddess competition. It has been verified that student Dong Yingluo is suspected of rigging votes. Therefore, her qualification is revoked!"
Boom—
Like a thunderclap on a clear day, Dong Yingluo turned deathly pale.
She couldn’t help but look at Ji Yebai, who coldly curled the corners of his lips, appearing as if he had expected this all along.
The scene erupted like a boiling pot, reaching a fever pitch!
"What the heck? Vote rigging? She has no shame at all!"
"Manipulative woman! Step down! You’re not fit to be a goddess!"
"Step down! Step down!"
The chants gradually merged into a powerful, overwhelming sea of voices, forcing the Principal to try to calm everyone down, "Students, please, let’s stay calm..."
Dong Yingluo was only flustered for a moment before tears began to surge outwards, giving a pitiful plea into the microphone, "I did not rig any votes, if I did, may lightning strike me down!"
After all, she didn’t believe in these curses; to her, it was just casually said.
Such a harsh curse stunned many people.
Dong Yingluo took the opportunity to say, "Maybe, it was my competitors who rigged the votes in my name and then reported me, so I would be disqualified..."
"Stop making excuses." Ning Xixi walked out from backstage holding a phone that Dong Yingluo had carelessly left behind, "Someone just called you, asking when you will pay him the final payment for the vote rigging!"
