The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 437 - Chapter 437 0435 Strength Do you have it

Chapter 437: 0435 Strength? Do you have it? Chapter 437: 0435 Strength? Do you have it? Su Xinyan, you’ve delivered the handle right into my hands.

–

When Su Ran returned to the competition venue, it was break time.

At that moment, groups of people were discussing the competition; no one approached Su Ran, and she enjoyed some quiet time.

She found a corner to stay in, waiting for the scoring to begin.

Meanwhile, Su Xinyan approached her with the posture of a victor.

“If I were you, I’d take advantage of the break to leave now, to save yourself the embarrassment when the results are announced.”

Su Ran glanced at her, her expression laden with meaning.

“It seems you’re very confident in your design.”

Su Xinyan smiled, a mysterious smile hanging on her beautiful face.

“Naturally, you’ve already experienced my strength, haven’t you?”

“Strength? Don’t insult that word, do you even have it?”

Su Xinyan’s face changed slightly, glowering at Su Ran with venom.

How dare this bitch mock her for lacking strength.

Today, Su Xinyan was the center of attention wherever she went. Seeing many eyes on her, she quickly softened her expression to a smile.

“Then let’s wait and see, Su Ran. I will make sure you witness how I become the champion of this year’s World Designer Competition.”

Su Ran curled her lips into a smile, “Having confidence is good, but don’t slap your own face in the process.”

Su Xinyan glanced at her disdainfully, “We’ll see.”

As soon as the words were spoken, a commotion suddenly started at the entrance.

“Look, it’s President Gu.”

Gu Heng, dressed in a sharp suit, handsome with an elegant composure that bespoke his high status, eliciting screams from the women at the scene.

After the excitement, everyone instinctively sought out Su Xinyan, sending envious glances her way.

Su Xinyan’s face brightened, and she quickly went towards Gu Heng.

“Brother Heng, you’re here.”

Gu Heng smiled gently, naturally pulling her into his embrace, his broad hand circling her waist firmly, his face full of tenderness.

“Yes, how’s the competition going? Confident?”

Su Xinyan nodded shyly.

“Yes, with you here, even if I weren’t confident before, I’m confident now. Brother Heng, did you come specially to cheer me on?”

Gu Heng smiled tenderly, looking at her with deep affection.

“Someone confessed to me in front of the whole internet, how could I let her down?”

Su Xinyan modestly lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, while Gu Heng indulgently adjusted the stray hairs on her face. The two stuck close together without any inhibition, exuding deep affection, like a Golden Boy and Jade Girl.

Su Ran raised her eyebrows slightly, showing little expression on her face.

But while she did not want to cause trouble, others might not have the intention of leaving her in peace.

After all, in this age driven by interests, hanging onto the coattails of the future champion was harmless and beneficial.

“Xinyan is so lucky, President Gu left his work just to come and cheer for her, he’s really gentle and considerate!”

“That’s someone’s boyfriend for you, President Gu truly loves Xinyan through and through.”

“It’s also because Xinyan is so capable; whether in the entertainment industry or the design circle, she has made a name for herself. If I had such a beautiful and talented girlfriend, I would definitely want to stick by her side every day.”

“Unlike some people…”

The surrounding crowd was abuzz with conversation when Gu Heng noticed Su Ran not far away.

At that moment, Su Ran was sitting quietly in a corner, dressed in the most ordinary casual attire.

Yet she had such charisma; even in her simple and unadorned appearance, the unique aura about her was dazzling enough to make it impossible to look away.

Gu Heng’s gaze lingered on her, unable to be retracted for a long time.

Su Xinyan saw this and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

“Wasn’t there an ID called ‘Su Ran’s boyfriend’ that spent five hundred million for her on the internet a few days ago? How come she’s all alone today?”

“Maybe someone was just orchestrating it themselves, now it’s all laid bare, isn’t it?”

“She wants to compete with Xinyan in everything, but unfortunately, some things are incomparable.”

“Exactly, Xinyan has a loving, doting, handsome, and wealthy boyfriend. Does she have one? Who would be interested in someone like her?”

People were chattering nonstop, praising Su Xinyan while also belittling Su Ran.

Su Xinyan smiled and looked up at Gu Heng.

“Brother Heng, let’s go over there first, the judging should be starting soon.”

Gu Heng nodded, “Okay, Xinyan, you will definitely make it to the finals.”

The smile on Su Xinyan’s face was sweet and blissful as she walked away intimately, arm in arm with Gu Heng.

Soon, the judging began.

Gu Heng and Su Xinyan sat in the front row; the originally slightly nervous heart relaxed upon seeing her full of confidence.

Su Xinyan and Su Ran were assigned numbers towards the end, so it wasn’t their turn yet.

The first one to be scored was a relatively famous designer from Yong City, with decent shape and clear outlines.

The other eight judges each gave scores of 7, 7, 8, 8, 7, 7, 7, and 8.

Song Guan and Hu Jialiang gave 4 points each.

The first contestant scored 67 points.

Seeing this, the other contestants became even more nervous, knowing that Song Guan and Hu Jialiang were famously strict, but they didn’t expect them to be this harsh.

The judging continued, and the following scores didn’t exceed 60 points for anyone.

The scores given by Song Guan and Hu Jialiang did not include a single one over 5 points.

The atmosphere at the venue grew increasingly heavy.

Next up was Abby, who had been among the top ten in an international competition. In Hua Country’s fashion industry, her fame was second only to that of Su Xinyan and Lydia.

There was a special rule from the organizers in Country Y that allowed the winner, runner-up, and second runner-up from the previous year to skip the preliminary round and directly enter the finals as special contestants if they participated again the following year.

Therefore, Lydia didn’t come to compete today, and for Su Xinyan, Abby was her biggest competitor.

The first judge gave a score, 8 points.

The second, 9 points.

Su Xinyan’s breath caught subconsciously, as it was the only 9 points so far.

The third, 8 points.

Then, 8 points, 8 points, 7 points, 7 points, 8 points.

Very high scores.

Now it was Song Guan and Hu Jialiang’s turn.

All eyes fell on the two, wondering what scores they would give.

Song Guan: 5 points.

Hu Jialiang: 6 points.

Abby ended up with a total of 74 points.

Everyone drew in a sharp breath, and Abby turned pale.

“Can’t be, right? Even Abby, who is so talented, scored so low?”

“Yeah, what hope do we have? I wonder whose design will catch the eyes of these two.”

“Sister Xinyan, it’s all down to you now!”

Su Xinyan smiled modestly; her turn was coming up quickly!

The host paused slightly upon seeing Su Xinyan’s name on the envelope, then withdrew the design draft inside.
