Chapter 562: Best supporting actress

"And now, let us look at the nominees for the Best Supporting Actress Award," Shi Huan said. "Please look at the screen."

On the screen, a short introduction for Jiang Xun, and four other actresses who had played the supporting roles in different dramas appeared, respectively. Finally, pictures of the five were shown on the screen.

The spotlight also shone on the five of them below the stage. All five supporting actresses were personally told by the organizing team about their nominations. So, everyone smiled properly in the shot, not showing a hint of surprise.

People in the audience had their own speculations on who would win the award. However, most people thought that Jiang Xun had the most chances of winning as her role in ’Garden of Youth’ surpassed the popularity of even the male and the female leads.

Back in her apartment, Qin Muran thought that Jiang Xun had the least chances to win an award. This was because she did not believe in Jiang Xun’s acting skills. She thought that the character of Yu Qianjiang was something that gave Jiang Xun her popularity. And the results of the award ceremonies have nothing to do with the actor’s character.

She also thought, ’There are many better actors than Jiang Xun. Also, they are senior and more experienced than Jiang Xun. If Jiang Xun got the award, what would the more hardworking actors think then? Wouldn’t it be unfair?’

However, Qin Muran’s thinking did not match with that of the judges of the award ceremony. If the award was to be given based on seniority, then what was the point of the award?

If all the awards were supposed to be based on the length of experience, then what was the point of choosing winners? One deserved to win just because they had entered the showbiz early and had put in lots of effort? As if everyone else did not work hard.

However, Qin Muran did not think about all this. She just felt that Jiang Xun winning this award was too far-fetched.

Just then, Shi Huan took out his card, "And the Best Supporting Actress Award goes to...

"Jiang Xun!" Shi Huan announced loudly with a smile.

After she heard the announced name, Qin Muran’s face twisted into an ugly grimace of anger and surprise. How could they really award it to Jiang Xun? There must have been some real bias there! Why did Jiang Xun deserve to win?

She’d just thought that Jiang Xun winning was impossible, and in the blink of an eye, the award was given to Jiang Xun! Qin Muran felt her whole body stiffen.

The four other actresses were calm as, after the nomination, they both knew in their hearts that the award was likely to be Jiang Xun’s. The awards given in this award ceremony were judged based on either experience, popularity, or acting skills.

Jiang Xun’s acting skills were indeed great, and all of them admitted it. There’s nothing worth getting upset over when the award was given to Jiang Xun.

Meanwhile, all the cameras were on Jiang Xun, and all around her were sounds of congratulations.

When Jiang Xun stood, Xu Lei and Gong Tianhao followed as well, giving Jiang Xun a hug.

"Congrats, Jiang Jiang!" Xu Lei said happily. She felt that Jiang Xun really deserved the award.

"You deserve it!" Gong Tianhao gave Jiang Xun a thumbs-up.

The guests around Jiang Xun also shook her hands in felicitations. When Jiang Xun was done shaking hands with the people near her, Xu Dong also stood up. Jiang Xun turned around and looked at him, surprised.

In a bid to protect her, Xu Dong and Jiang Xun had not gone public even after coming into a relationship.

Jiang Xun did not mind going public with their relationship, unafraid of any positive or negative impact that it might bring to her in the future. She could endure any good and bad, as long as she was with him.

It was just that she always understood his rationale for doing this. It was for her own good, and she could not bear to disappoint him. On one hand, trying to do as he wished; on the other hand, trying to find an opportunity to go public.

Both parties had to contribute when in a relationship. Jiang Xun could not bear it if he was the only one giving while she always took.

Yet now, Xu Dong actually stood up. Everyone at the venue saw Xu Dong stand. Xu Dong was seated in the front row as everyone knew that beside from the owner of Starlight entertainment, Xu Dong was the one who was in-charge of the whole company while the owner of the company always remained mysterious.

Some people also said that the owner of the company was just in name and Xu Dong was responsible for everything. Each and every decision of the company was made by him and just conveyed to the owner. Thus, Xu Dong’s position in the entertainment industry was not low.

And him now standing for an artist was a big deal. If the artist was Xu Lei, it would have been a different matter as she was his biological sister. However, since it was Jiang Xun, gasps echoed in the crowd.

On the other hand, Xu Dong knew that if they went public with their relationship, people would gossip, and Jiang Xun would be put in a disadvantageous position. People would constantly observe both of them and even if Jiang Xun earned the resources by herself, it would be assumed by everyone that the company is being biased towards her because of her relationship with Xu Dong.

But then, this had both advantages and disadvantages. The good would obviously be that Jiang Xun’s efforts could be seen by everyone. But the bad side would be that some people would think Jiang Xun was an easy target and anyone could bully her.

Because he cared, he was in a dilemma. A man who was always so decisive was now hesitating about making their relationship known. Because he wanted the best for Jiang Xun and not let her suffer any harm. Yet no matter what he chose, it would never be perfect.

When she saw Xu Dong standing up for her, Jiang Xun had already decided what she wanted to do in her heart. Xu Dong looked at her tenderly, having the barest hint of a hunch.

Jiang Xun had already stepped forward and hugged him. Both arms around his neck, this was an action she was very used to, an action repeated countless times before.

Everyone was stunned. What was going on? Why was Jiang Xun hugging Xu Dong like this?

Some people thought that Jiang Xun had gone overboard and Xu Dong would definitely teach her a lesson. After all, she was dragging him in the headlines by doing this.

But what happened next caused everyone to disbelieve their eyes. Not only did Xu Dong not push away Jiang Xun, he actually hugged her waist naturally. His movements were so smooth, as if it had been done a thousand times over, not a hint of awkwardness anywhere. What’s more, he smiled down at Jiang Xun, not a trace of anger in his face.

"You’ve thought about it?" Xu Dong asked softly, his pair of dark eyes looking at her, overflowing with warmth.

"Yes," Jiang Xun nodded. "I don’t want to be so secretive. I want to let everyone know that you’re my boyfriend and I’m your girlfriend. I’m not afraid of rumors, I don’t care what they say about me, be it good or bad. I only care about you, and for any other important events just like this, I want to hold your hand as we walk the red carpet. I want to sit with you, and I want to be photographed with you publicly."

Each and every one of her words struck him on the heart. She knew all about his considerations for her. And she was always being considerate of him as well. Both of them were always thinking about the other party.

"How can I let you take the initiative for this type of matter?" Xu Dong said.

Jiang Xun did not understand, and while still in her confusion, Xu Dong already slanted his head. Xu Dong smiled lightly and, in full view of everyone, kissed Jiang Xun on the lips.

The cameramen aimed their respective cameras over at the couple and their kiss along with the declaration of their relationship was captured in their cameras.

Xu Lei started clapping as soon as this happened. Hearing one clap, the whole audience burst into a thunderous applause. Tears fell from Xu Lei’s eyes as she watched her brother finally admitting to his relationship. She was the one who had seen the ups and downs in Xu Dong and Jiang Xun’s life and knew what they had suffered to be here. And now that they were at this stage, Xu Lei could not conceal her happiness.
