Chapter 131 Crushed
All eyes turned towards the stage.
Seeing this, Wu Yuqing quickly turned her head, and her face immediately turned ashen.
She saw the stunning woman on stage slowly walking to the center. This woman had long, beautiful legs and a captivating face – it was Su Ya.
Wu Yuqing hadn't expected Su Ya to attend Qingzhou University's centennial celebration.
She couldn't understand why Su Ya, who had been working for many years and held a noble position in the Su family, would come to Qingzhou City for the university's centennial celebration. What's more, she was on stage during the bonfire party.
Wu Yuqing gritted her teeth in hatred. She knew that Su Ya's beauty, talent, and family background were enough to crush her. However, she had invited many famous alumni and the principal to support her, so she thought Su Ya wouldn't be able to compete.
At this moment, Su Ya on stage waved at the crowd. She smiled and said, "Distinguished seniors, juniors, we are all alumni. Let me introduce myself. I am Su Ya, once hailed as the campus belle. But I'm not here today because I want to perform; rather, I want to grandly introduce a friend to everyone, who is none other than junior Liu Ran, who once displaced me from my campus belle position the moment she entered the university."
As she spoke, Su Ya looked towards Liu Ran's seat. She smiled and said, "Junior Liu Ran, stop hiding. Come on, let all the alumni get to know you."
"Furthermore, I must formally introduce junior Liu Ran because she is not only beautiful but, more importantly, she is a genius in the School of Design. To this day, the walls of Qingzhou University's School of Design still display the astonishing works Liu Ran created in her sophomore year. During her time at university, she won over 10 design awards of various kinds."
Su Ya's voice fell, and the crowd erupted in a murmur.
"What's going on? The Su Ya on stage is my absolute goddess! How can she say Liu Ran is even prettier?"
"I don't know, Su Ya is acting really strange today. She came on stage not to garner votes for herself, but to play a supporting role for someone else."
"Su Ya is incredibly beautiful, much more so than Wu Yuqing, who claimed to be the campus belle!"
"I'm curious, which year was this Liu Ran from? How beautiful is she?"
At this moment, Gao Juan and others had already pulled Liu Ran towards the stage.
Although Liu Ran extremely disliked being on stage, with so many classmates surrounding her and Su Ya calling her, she had no choice but to walk towards the stage.
Liu Ran's attire was not overly flashy, but even in a simple long dress, as she stood on stage next to Su Ya, her beauty still surpassed Su Ya's by a fraction.
The entire venue gasped in unison.
Then, some people cheered, and everyone began to wave their arms. Many men started shouting excitedly.
"This is incredible! Our Qingzhou University has so many campus belles! Each one is more beautiful than the last!"
"Alas, it's a pity. When I was in college, I wasn't capable enough to even get close to goddesses of this caliber!"
"I thought Wu Yuqing was beautiful enough just now, but compared to Liu Ran, she's utterly incomparable."
Sitting in the crowd, Wu Yuqing heard the discussions and was so angry her face turned black. She thought Liu Ran wouldn't come on stage and that she had already secured the Bonfire Star of the Night.
But then Su Ya appeared, and these two women were so cunning! They came on stage together, leaving her with absolutely no chance.
Liu Ran stood on stage, her face flushed with nervousness at first, but she quickly calmed down. She said to Su Ya helplessly, "Senior Su Ya, did you really have to drag me onto the stage? I can't sing or dance."
Su Ya smiled triumphantly and said to Liu Ran, "You don't have to worry about not being able to sing or dance, because someone will guide you through it today."
The next moment.
Lin Yueyu, accompanied by several dancers, walked onto the stage.
The moment Lin Yueyu stepped onto the stage, the entire venue erupted in cheers. No one expected the famous celebrity Lin Yueyu to appear at the bonfire party, and what's more, Lin Yueyu was not an alumnus of Qingzhou University!
They hadn't expected Qingzhou University's centennial celebration to be so extravagant as to invite a major celebrity!
Li Chenghui and several other minor leaders in the audience were bewildered. They hadn't spent any money to invite a big star like Lin Yueyu. How did she suddenly appear?
Lin Yueyu gently waved to the cheering crowd and then said, "I'm here today to play a supporting role for Miss Liu Ran. Miss Liu Ran is a good friend and has helped me a lot. In the future, if Miss Liu Ran encounters any difficulties after leaving school, I ask all alumni to lend a helping hand. Now, Liu Ran, Su Ya, and I will perform a chorus of 'The Light of Orthodoxy' for all our beloved alumni and for the hundred-year-old Qingzhou University."
At this moment, the entire bonfire party was filled with cheers, reaching its climax. Many people rushed to the edge of the stage, jumping and cheering excitedly.
There was no longer any suspense. The undisputed stars of the night were these three women, and the only candidate for the Bonfire Star was Liu Ran. No one else could compare.
Sitting in the audience, Wu Yuqing's face was dark and filled with rage. She had planned for so long, wanting to make a statement!
She had donated over two million yuan on the spot, invited so many celebrity friends, and had the principal come to support her, but in the end, she had still lost.
She had been trampled underfoot once again by that wretched woman, Liu Ran.
Wu Yuqing's hands were trembling. She couldn't understand why Liu Ran, who came from a common background, that lowly commoner, could be above her.
Wu Yuqing suddenly turned to look at Liao Meili behind her.
Wu Yuqing gritted her teeth and said, "Liao Meili, it's your turn now. The fireworks will be set off soon. Go find Liu Ran and remember to switch the fireworks with Liu Ran."
Liao Meili nodded. She didn't refuse. For her brother, for her family, she would do anything.
She was a typical older sister in a Northern Chinese family, obligated to ensure her entire family lived well, her younger brother lived well, and to have the money for a betrothal gift, to buy a house, and to get married.
Liao Meili held a firework and walked towards where Liu Ran was sitting.
This bonfire area was filled with people from the School of Design, so no one found it unusual for Liao Meili to join them.
Liao Meili secretly sat down next to Liu Ran's seat. Her hands were trembling, but she eventually sat down, calmed herself, and waited for her moment.
