The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 442 - Chapter 442 440 is indeed quite proud

Chapter 442: 440 is indeed quite proud. Chapter 442: 440 is indeed quite proud. Su Xinyan was so angry she was gnashing her teeth, her facial expression stiff with tension.

These damn bitches had all been flattering her before the contest and now they were all here to watch her become a laughingstock.

Down below, many of Su Xinyan’s friends and those currying favor with her stepped forward to congratulate her.

“Xinyan, congratulations on successfully advancing to the international contest in Y Country.”

“That’s right, second place doesn’t matter, it’s just a small preliminary match now; the finals are when you will truly showcase your strength.”

“Exactly, let those people be smug for now, they won’t have a chance to shine later on.”

Upon hearing this, Su Xinyan’s complexion finally improved slightly, and the pallor of her face gradually returned to normal.

And at this moment, many reporters also surrounded Su Xinyan, aiming their cameras at her.

“First of all, congratulations to Miss Xinyan for advancing to the international competition, but Miss Xinyan has always been the one with the highest voice on the internet to win the championship. Now, however, she’s been upstaged by her own sister, and lost to someone who once plagiarized her. Does Miss Xinyan have anything to say?”

Just as Su Xinyan had been cheered up by everyone’s compliments, the reporter’s question made her face pale again, but she quickly composed herself.

“I didn’t expect my sister’s design to improve so quickly. Originally… Anyway, congratulations to my sister, congratulations on her winning the championship, and I hope she continues to excel and achieves a good result at the international competition in Y Country.”

Her beautiful face had a faint smile as she spoke gracefully and modestly. Her voice, gentle and soft, was very pleasing to the ear.

“Miss Su really is a person with a broad mind.”

“Indeed, that’s the kind of demeanor a truly outstanding talent should have.”

“However, listening to Miss Su’s words just now, it seems there was more to them. Are you questioning Su Ran’s designs for this competition?”

Su Xinyan shook her head and smiled wistfully and helplessly.

The reporter’s eyes flickered and their gaze couldn’t help but turn towards Su Ran’s direction.

“So, regarding the designs for the competition in Y Country, do you have any ideas? I heard that you previously purchased materials that combine flame retardant fibers and aluminum vacuum-plated film. May I ask if you are planning to use them in the international competition?”

Su Xinyan smiled mysteriously, “Sorry, that’s confidential for now. The theme for the international competition hasn’t been announced yet, everything is unknown, if everyone is interested, you can pay more attention to our contest at that time.”

Hearing Su Xinyan’s answer, the reporter glanced at Su Ran not far away.

“Being cautious is right, after all, you’ve experienced plagiarism before. We will follow the competition and also look forward to better works from Miss Xinyan.”

“Thank you, I will.”

At this time, Gu Heng, polite and courteous, came to Su Xinyan’s side.

“Brother Heng.”

Su Xinyan called out happily, looking at him with a shy face.

Gu Heng smiled at her tenderly, his eyes filled with endless gentleness and affection.

The two of them stood together intimately, a perfect match, their affection for each other creating a warm atmosphere, eliciting teasing from the people around.

“Oh my, they’re making us feel single again!”

“These two together, I feel like I can smell the scent of love.”

“President Gu, Xinyan’s design has successfully advanced to the international competition, aren’t you going to do something to mark the occasion?”

“Yeah, I wonder if President Gu has prepared any surprises for our Xinyan?”

Su Xinyan’s face was flushed with excitement and anticipation as she looked at the man beside her, while Gu Heng smiled gently, his voice warm and soft.

“Of course, there are surprises, but they are a secret for now.”

At these words, a wave of excitement ran through the crowd.

“Wow, could it be a marriage proposal? How romantic!”

“Proposal! Proposal! Proposal!”

Gu Heng chuckled, “If there is good news, we will definitely inform everyone. Today’s focus is the design competition, let’s not waste public resources here!”

“President Gu didn’t deny it, so does that mean the two of you are really going to have happy news soon?”

Gu Heng just smiled faintly, tacitly confirming it.

Su Xinyan was also full of surprise and joy, the tacit confirmation from Gu Heng made her even more excited.

“Congratulations to both of you for finally entering the palace of marriage!”

–

As the champion among the top twenty in Hua Country, Su Ran naturally faced a lot of journalists swarming around her.

But she was expressionless, her powerful and sharp aura made people wary, and the journalists, going through the motions, only dared to ask a few simple questions.

After the interviews had finished, everyone stood in place, looking at each other, and at that moment–

A commotion suddenly arose from the crowd, “Propose! Propose! Propose!”

The journalists exchanged glances, gave Su Ran a brief greeting, and hurriedly left!

Su Ran raised her eyebrows, a proposal, huh?

Her prepared gift could finally be given away!

With that, the domestic design preliminary contest came to an end!

–

Leaving the competition venue, it was too crowded, with too many cars and people gathered at the entrance.

Su Ran stood in a corner, in no rush at the moment.

Before long, Su Xinyan came to her side.

“You’re very pleased with yourself today, aren’t you?” She glared coldly at Su Ran, grumbling in a low voice.

Su Ran glanced at her indifferently, and suddenly, the corners of her lips curled into a radiant smile.

“Having snatched the championship you’ve been longing for, I am indeed rather pleased.”

“You…”

Su Xinyan felt a surge of fury but seeing the people coming and going around, she still rationally suppressed the anger in her chest.

“Su Ran, how long can you gloat? This is just a small preliminary contest. Wait until the international competition in Country Y, and see how I deal with you then.”

Su Ran nodded nonchalantly, “Sure, I’m curious to see how you, the famous ‘heart’, are going to deal with me, but…”

Su Ran paused for a moment, looking at her with a teasing expression.

“Instead of thinking about these unrealistic things, you might as well consider if you still have any leverage in my hands.”

Su Xinyan’s mind tensed, and she looked at Su Ran warily.

“What do you mean?”

Su Ran stood up and began to approach her.

“Do you remember the plagiarism incident five years ago? And how you got this ‘heart’ nickname, I’m sure the memory is still fresh. Su Xinyan, with me in the competition, do you think I’d give you the opportunity to win the championship you’ve been dreaming of?”

Su Xinyan’s beautiful eyes widened in astonishment, looking at her in shock.

“You know? Then why didn’t you expose me?”

“Why should I expose you?”

“…” Su Xinyan glared at her viciously, yet her face showed confusion.

Su Ran curled her lips, her exquisite and aloof face filled with a playful, shallow smile.

“It’s been a long time since something has made me this happy. The things you strive for with all your might, that are effortlessly within my reach, isn’t it amusing to watch you climb to the peak, then fall hard?”

Su Xinyan’s teeth were nearly clenched to breaking, “You played me?”
