Chapter 749 True Strength

Xu Yi opened his eyes. The final had just ended and there was a fifteen-minute commercial on the live broadcast.

Xu Yi opened her eyes and found herself in the hospital. There was a tablet next to her, playing a commercial.

xx sponsor exclusively sponsors the Xidi competition.

"The child is fine, this won't happen again."

Song Yanming held the tablet and asked, "Do you want to go to the scene?"

Xu Yi nodded, "I didn't miss it, did I?"

"No."

She handed in her manuscript very early, and during her break, the others had just finished, "You're fast, I can take you back now."

"I want to go back."

"Get in the wheelchair, I'll push you."

Xu Yi's heart skipped a beat. "It has come to this. I can't accept the award and..."

Her face was pale and looked pitiful. Song Yanming smiled and said, "At worst, I can carry you up."

At this point, Xu Yi had no other choice. Song Yanming carried him into the car. When they got to the backstage, he would have to sit in a wheelchair.

The sky was about to get dark, and the day was about to end unknowingly. Xu Yi recalled the experience of this day, which was really rich and colorful.

After the commercial break in the middle of the Xidi game, the host came on stage to give a speech.

Many people were staring at Xu Yi and Huo Tingyu, and some contestants even made private bets on which of them would win the championship.

The two half-siblings have competed against each other in the Milan competition. Judging from their qualifications and experience, both of them have the potential to win the championship.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the final, Xu Yi handed in his manuscript and left.

There is still no sign of her backstage.

The host was speaking on the stage, and the contestants backstage started discussing.

Two of the people who did not make it to the finals could not bear the stress and committed suicide, which became a hot topic in the Xidi competition.

"Why hasn't Xu Yi come back yet? Could it be that he couldn't stand the pressure and committed suicide?"

Zhou Minglan didn't participate in these people's discussions at all. She didn't make it to the finals and was just listening to people talking backstage.

Someone asked her what she thought about her own sister's ability.

Zhou Minglan was quite unfamiliar with the term "biological sister".

But it's also true that people outside don't know that she is not the Zhou family's biological daughter. In everyone's eyes, she is still Zhou Mingxin's sister.

Zhou Minglan said, "Let's see the result. I can't say much about her strength."

"You really don't want to offend anyone. One is your biological sister, and the other is your half-sister. Which one do you prefer?"

Zhou Minglan smiled but said nothing. "Let's see the result. I don't know either."

Huo Tingyu is a moody person. Logically, she should regard Xu Yi as her rival. The Zhou family and the Huo family are irreconcilable.

But Zhou Minglan felt that Huo Tingyu's actions did not seem to indicate that she disliked Xu Yi. On the contrary, she even seemed to be protecting Xu Yi.

When Xu Yi got into trouble, she thought it was Huo Tingyu who did it, but Huo Tingyu angrily blamed her.

It was not until she saw Qi Zhenzhen’s car accident on the news that Zhou Minglan realized that the Qi family was also a possibility, and it was not entirely Huo Tingyu.

Throughout the entire competition, Huo Tingyu paid special attention to Xu Yi, and his concerned look didn't seem fake.

This left Zhou Minglan at a loss.

"I'm afraid Xu Yi won't be able to come back. She submitted her manuscript in less than half an hour. I guess she has no chance of winning the championship!"

"Xu Yi's ability is inferior to Miss Hei Jin. How can she compare with Miss Hei Jin? When Miss Hei Jin won the award, she was still an unknown little character!"

"That's right. Miss Hei Jin is young, but she has a lot of experience. She has been exposed to design since she was a child and has participated in hundreds of competitions, big and small."

Everyone was talking about it backstage, but Huo Tingyu was secretly worried. This time, Xu Yi's hands were injured by the Qi family and her body was not in good shape. Even if she won the championship, it would be a bit unfair, as if she had won by luck.

It was the first time that Huo Tingyu had this feeling.

The people from the Qi family are so troublesome... If it weren't for Qi Yu's sake, she would have wanted to kill all of them.

"I definitely can't come back. Even if I come back, I can only see how I lost..."

"It's a work that took less than half an hour, and she still wants to defeat Miss Kurokin. If she really wins, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of all of us?"

"She can't win. Her hands are broken. Then what are we? How can she beat us when both her hands are broken? Is this the limit of our level?"

Just then, Xu Yi came in from outside.

Huo Yunhua asked the organizer to restrict Song Yanming from entering the backstage, and Song Yuqian and Qin Moyu went to the door to greet him.

Xu Yi couldn't even straighten his back, so he could only sit in a wheelchair and be pushed over by Song Yuqian.

Song Yuqian teased her, "You are so weak. You were fine just now, but now you have to sit in a wheelchair."

Not only that, Song Yanming was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he covered her with a thin blanket.

She doesn't look like a contestant at all, she looks more like someone who is here to retire.

As soon as Xu Yi appeared, many people laughed at her silently, but some people also looked at her with jealousy.

I'm jealous that she can still make it to the finals of the Xidi competition even in this condition.

Huo Tingyu, who had always been aloof, saw her coming and asked her, "Are you feeling better?"

"much better."

"Watch your body, your hands..."

"My hand is fine."

Huo Tingyu whispered, "Since you are pregnant, you must take good care of the child."

Xu Yi glanced at Huo Tingyu, who smiled at her, "I don't mean anything else. You know, I don't have any hostility towards you."

"Human nature is complicated, who knows?"

Before she finished speaking, Song Yuqian pushed Xu Yi to the side, and Qin Moyu said to Huo Tingyu in a warning tone, "The Huo family has already taken advantage, so don't try to show off your presence and make people feel upset."

Huo Tingyu remained silent, but at this moment, he heard the host announce the rankings.

Huo Tingyu looked up suddenly, and the others quickly followed suit, concentrating their attention, afraid of missing every word the host read.

"Third place, Miss Kurokin!"

When this name was read out, the whole audience was in an uproar, and Huo Yunhua almost couldn't hold it in in the VIP viewing area.

Huo Tingyu himself felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

Over the years, she had come in third place before, and had performed poorly in some major competitions, but it was rare, and no third place was so difficult for her to accept.

Winning third place in this competition is equivalent to losing face for the Huo family...

"What's going on, Miss Kurokin Third?"

"How could she be third? Miss Kurokin should be first this time!"

When Xu Yi heard that Huo Tingyu was third, his mind went blank.

There was no excitement at all.

If Huo Tingyu was third, then wouldn't that mean she wasn't among the top three?

She admitted that she was not in good physical condition during the competition, and her mental state was also not good. Under multiple pressures, she could only manage to complete the competition.
