Suspected of Creating Hype

Translator: Yunyi

Lila smiled as she gave a nod before lifting up her dress slightly and running towards the back of the stage. With her mask on, if one was to point out a distinguishing feature between her and Rainy Mo, it would have to be her legs. Lila's legs were once known as one of the most beautiful pairs of legs in the world.

Just as everyone thought the show had reached its climax, Lila descended gracefully to the stage on a chair. All the spotlights immediately focused on her...

But...

...the Crown's Star was nowhere to be seen...

What had happened?

Everyone ran around frantically looking for the Crown's Star. They even searched Lila all over. But because of this, many people couldn't help notice her lovely, long, fair-skinned legs...

Legs so beautiful, they were unforgettable...

Just as everyone was about to give up, a smile appeared from behind the mysterious golden mask. Lila elegantly raised her arm, tilted her head backwards, lifted her left leg which was facing the audience, and struck a beautiful dance pose. At that moment, out from under the white dress and down her smooth legs, the Crown's Star appeared around Lila's ankle, sparkling magnificently.

Wow...

The crowd froze in amazement at the scene in front of them. The sight of Lila lying on the chair seamlessly moving from one pose to the next was unforgettable. Most impressive of all, every single pose she pulled presented the Crown's Star in a different light; showing off its beauty over and over again...

The audience rose to their feet and gave Lila a standing ovation...

Amongst the crowd, in a high but hidden position, Mason Mo's gaze was focused on Lila. His new wife, once Beijing's top model, was here standing in on behalf of a B-Grade model.

There was no denying it, no matter if it was 3 years ago or 3 years later, she was still the same model who was born for the runway...

After Lila's final pose, the show came to a satisfying end. hf's founder was extremely impressed with her performance. Of course, he wasn't aware that the model on stage was Lila Tang; he still believed it was Rainy Mo.

He appeared from behind the stage and approached Lila. Like a gentleman, he offered his hand, helping her off the chair and leading her to the front of the runway where they bowed thankfully to the audience.

"Thank you, everyone. And of course, thank you, Miss Mo, for a spectacular performance. It was certainly impressive."

Lila stayed silent. She just simply responded with a bow. All of a sudden, from the front of the runway came a high-pitched voice, "She isn't Rainy Mo, I've seen Rainy Mo in real life and she does not have such long legs!"

At that moment, everyone was stunned as they looked up and down Lila's legs with doubt, "If you are indeed Rainy Mo, then remove your mask. If you are not, then Heaven Entertainment are a bunch of liars!"

Sounds of doubt multiplied and grew louder. Even the designers of hf were beginning to question whether the woman in front of them was Rainy Mo.

"Miss Mo, please remove your mask..." The designers were curious. Was she really Rainy Mo? If she really wasn't then their collaboration with Heaven Entertainment would have to come to an end.

Lila hesitated, but she was already surrounded. With no other choice, she slowly removed her mask. At that moment, everyone held their breaths. As her face came into view, some immediately recognized her as the once infamous model...

"It's Lila Tang!"

It was rumored that after Lila Tang was blacklisted, her status had completely deteriorated; she was even worse off than unsigned models. Who would have thought that she would stoop so low as to act as a substitute? Was she deliberately creating hype or was she forced due to her current situation?

"Lila Tang, it's actually Lila Tang." The reporters quickly surrounded Lila, giving her no room to escape.

"Miss Tang, could you please explain the current situation? Rainy Mo was the one who was invited to appear in today's show, but how did it turn out to be you?"

"From what we know, you were blacklisted 3 years ago. Are you trying to take this opportunity to announce a comeback?"

"As a once-famous model, are you trying to take Rainy Mo's jobs? Are you taking advantage of her being injured and stealing her opportunity to be a spokesperson?"

"It's obvious you are just trying to create hype. I knew it. Rainy Mo was already injured, how could she possibly attend this show. Famous supermodel my a**! More like famous superCHEAPmodel!"

The reporter's questions got more and more intense. In fact, some were already spouting insults.

"Outdated cheap model..."

"Rainy should be the spokesperson, give it back to her!"

Lila was slowly forced to retreat as the reporters surrounded her. Some even pushed her. At this moment, hf added to the insults, "I am going to sue Heaven Entertainment. What you are doing here is blatantly lying! I asked for Rainy Mo, instead, you gave me a 3rd-rate model." The designer had no idea how famous Lila was 3 years ago. All he knew was that he had not seen this model appear anywhere in recent years.

"As for you, I'll see you in court! But for now, get lost! You do not deserve to be standing on my runway!" he yelled.

The sharp voice echoed through the building. Even the reporters were surprised. No model would just stand there and let someone yell at them like that.

"Why are you still here? Get lost!"

Lila already prepared herself for this moment but still struggled to hold back the humiliation. It was at that moment, a deep, attractive voice resounded from the end of the stage, "Yes, someone should get lost indeed..."

In surprise, the reporters turned to where the voice was coming from. There, standing at the end of the stage was Mason Mo. Everyone's eyes opened wide in shock...

Isn't this the CEO of Oceans Entertainment? Why is he here? Most importantly, why is he standing on the stage?

It was a well-known fact that Mason Mo despised celebrities who played mind games. Lila Tang is digging her own grave. This time even Oceans Entertainment can't help but step out from behind the sidelines.

Everyone held their breaths, certain that Lila was out of luck. But to their surprise, Mason walked over to her and stood by her side. With the intimidating tone of a king, he turned to the designer and continued, "...but, she is not the one who should get lost... You are!"

"I could make hf disappear from Beijing if I want to. Your manners appear to be on a different level to your jewelry."

Lila's heartbeat stopped for a moment. Who would have thought...her new husband, who she had only met for the third time, would stand up for her.

All the reporters were stunned as they began to worry. Had they known earlier that Lila Tang had ties with Oceans Entertainment, they wouldn't have been so rude.

hf's designer was not impressed, but he knew he could not offend Oceans Entertainment. After a few moments of silence, he reluctantly apologized, "Sorry, President Mo. I didn't know about your relationship with..."

"You are wrong, I have no relations with her. I'm just simply...questioning your character!" Mason denied his relation to Lila and began to walk away. But before he left, he turned around and announced to the reporters, "There is, however, one thing I cannot deny. She will definitely become a rising star in the modeling industry!"

It was so sweet of Mason to stick up for Lila. Does he see something in her that others don't? They've only met for the third time, yet he is not doubting her like everyone else. Can't wait for their relationship to develop.
