The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 645 - Chapter 645 0635 Congratulations

Chapter 645: 0635 Congratulations Chapter 645: 0635 Congratulations “There are so many talented people, it’s not surprising she got second place!”

“Yeah, but Heart getting second place in the world on her second competition shows that she’s really got something!”

“She and her sister just accused each other of copying their designs, and now that Heart has won the runner-up prize, I wonder about her sister’s ranking…”

“It would be quite embarrassing for the sister if she’s outshone by the younger one, especially since both of their teachers are present!”

Hearing this, Su Xinyan’s tightly clenched hands suddenly relaxed, and a hint of relief tinged her pale face.

Even though it’s only runner-up… it’s still second in the world.

Still very dazzling!

Her main goal today was to completely crush Su Ran!

After all, what’s done is done!

There’s no turning back!

She took a deep breath, lifted her smiling face, and happily embraced the man by her side.

“Brother Heng, I really did it!”

Gu Heng’s slender arms gently wrapped around her, his face wearing a slight smile.

“Congratulations!”

Second in the world…

No matter what, the Gu Family’s investment was saved!

“Thank you, Brother Heng, I told you I wouldn’t let you and Mom and Dad down!”

That sentence highlighted the future development for the Su and Gu Families.

Afterward, Wen Peipei also excitedly embraced Su Xinyan.

“Congratulations, Xinxin, you might not have won the championship, but second place is also great. I saw your effort, and I see the future of the Su Family. You’ve made me confident in my choice! The Su Family is blessed to have you!”

“Thank you, Grandmother, if it weren’t for your constant encouragement and support, I wouldn’t have made it this far today!”

After a brief celebration, Su Xinyan went up to the stage at the host’s reminder.

Before ascending, she passed by Su Ran and secretly gave her a provocative and triumphant look.

Su Ran raised an eyebrow and silently sneered, watching her with a detached expression throughout.

Once Su Xinyan was on stage, Gael passed her the trophy expressionlessly and then quietly offered a “Congratulations”.

She lifted her smiling face to accept the trophy and then delivered a passionate acceptance speech.

With the awards for runner-up and third place concluded, next up was the most anticipated moment: the championship.

Clutching the trophy, Su Xinyan stepped aside, gritting her teeth as she ceded the spotlight that should have been hers.

The host, holding the microphone and wearing an excited, mysterious look, announced:

“And now, we come to the moment we’ve all been waiting for: the championship award ceremony. Please join me in welcoming Princess Avril to announce and present the winner of the 57th World Designer Competition.”

“Oh my God, it’s actually Princess Avril presenting the award to the champion!”

“That’s an honor you can’t even beg for, this year’s champion is so lucky!”

“I remember the host saying earlier that the ceremony could be held in this castle was all thanks to Princess Avril personally proposing it to Queen Nefertiti on behalf of some contestant. Could it be that person is today’s champion?”

“That’s not possible, how could Princess Avril be sure that person would win the championship?”

“True, which means today’s champion is one lucky individual, to be personally awarded by Princess Avril!”

The audience erupted in a fiery round of applause!

In the midst of this applause, Princess Avril gracefully ascended the stage.

With a smile, she nodded at Gael and others, then took the respectfully offered microphone from the host and softly declared:

“I announce that the winner of the 57th World Designer Competition is–”

Princess Avril deliberately paused there, smiling as she looked at everyone below, causing all to hold their breath in curiosity and anticipation.

By this time, most people already knew who the champion was.

It was undoubtedly No. 10.

Yet, despite this, everyone’s hearts were still lifted with suspense.

Standing on the stage, Su Xinyan’s complexion turned somewhat greenish.

She observed the excited and thrilled expressions of the crowd below, a touch of jealousy and resentment crossing her heart.

Such a halo should have been hers, yet now it was being snatched away from her halfway!

But…

A smirk spread across her lips, filled with undisguised malice and satisfaction as she looked towards Su Ran.

Since she hadn’t secured the third or second place, it was even less likely for Princess Avril to announce her as the champion next.

She had never imagined that Su Ran would have anything to do with the championship!

Now here she was, securing the world’s second place, standing on the high podium, while Su Ran, the original creator, could only silently watch her climb to the peak from below.

Nothing could please her more than this!

Su Ran lifted her eyes, only to see Su Xinyan standing on the stage, looking at her provocatively, her red lips moving silently, saying,

“You lost!”

At this moment, the curiosity of everyone below the stage had been piqued, and Princess Avril didn’t waste any more time, she announced directly–

“Number 10, ‘The Beauty of Incompleteness’, congratulations to Miss Ran for securing the championship of this World Design Competition!”

“…”

“…”

“…”

The entire venue fell into dead silence!

Not even breathing could be heard!

This was an answer completely unexpected by everyone.

They knew number 10 was the champion!

But they didn’t know that the designer behind number 10 was Su Ran.

This…

Meanwhile, the smug arrogant smile on Su Xinyan’s face instantly solidified.

She jerked her head up in disbelief!

Who was the champion?

Su Ran?

After a long while, someone finally snapped back to reality.

“Did I… Did I just hear an illusion?”

“Who did Princess Avril just say is the champion of this competition?”

At this moment, Wen Peipei and Gu Heng’s complexions below the stage had already turned completely pale.

“Su Ran? Xinxin’s sister? She is actually the champion?”

“Wasn’t it said that she plagiarized her own sister’s work? Can a plagiarist win the championship?”

“Who copied whom is still uncertain, right? Su Ran is a disciple of Elder Zhou, do you think a disciple of Elder Zhou would plagiarize?”

“Xinxin is also a disciple of Master Weng, surely a disciple of Master Weng wouldn’t plagiarize either, right?”

“So who exactly plagiarized who?”

Just then, Princess Avril spoke again, her voice gentle, “Please welcome Miss Ran onto the stage to receive the award!”

All the lights in the venue were focused on Su Ran, with everyone’s gaze following her figure as she moved.

In a red figure-hugging long dress, her entire tall and slender figure was set off by it, her bright color matching her cool and aloof temperament, enchantingly attractive to the point where one couldn’t look away.

Su Xinyan, with a pale face, watched Su Ran approaching slowly, her eyes widened in shock, and she stumbled two steps backward.

The champion was Su Ran?

It was actually Su Ran?

Damn it!

How could this happen!

How could this possibly happen?!

Her heart was filled with shock and jealousy!

Seeing the calm and noble Su Ran, Su Xinyan felt such a loathing that she nearly went mad.

Glancing at Princess Avril beside her, a cunning flash went through her eyes.

A figure passed by her vision, and Princess Avril, holding the champion’s trophy, walked over to Su Ran.

She smiled and handed the trophy to her, “Congratulations to you!”

The sincere and kind smile made Su Ran’s face light up with a genuine smile of her own.

“Thank you!”

Just as she was about to reach out for the trophy in Princess Avril’s hands, a figure suddenly burst out from behind her.

“This trophy cannot be awarded to her!!”
