Chapter 401
Shi Jin took a few steps back, as if she was walking away from a pile of rubbish.
Ramos stepped forward and said, "Shi Jin, it''s time to present the award to you. I believe you
deserve the trophy of the originalpositionpetition."
He held up the trophy. The four judges below the stage stood up and expressed their agreement.
He passed the trophy to Shi Jin.
Shi Jin took it from him and said to everyone, "Although the results of tonight''s award ceremony is
different from what you expected, everyone, I still want to say this. Although Country S has thieves
who use other people''s things as their own to make themselves look good, just like how a big tree
has a withered branch, there are very few people like them in Country S. She can''t represent the
general standard of Country S nor can she represent Country S or any of its people."
Everyone apuded in understanding.
Shi Jin''s words also reminded them not to rank Shi Xuexin and Country S on the same level. It
would also stop the reporters from gossiping, lest they use this matter to extend to the entire
country.
"1 hope that everyone will focus more on the piano piece. Music has no boundaries. Everyone,
thank you again." Shi Jin raised the trophy and waved at the crowd casually.
Everyone thought of her more valuable Chopin trophy and couldn''t help, but stand up and apud.
Shi Jin didn''t stay on stage for long. She went down the stage and went backstage.
Shi Xuexin was dragged off the stage by the security guards. Her legs were too weak to walk.
Back in Country S, because of therge-scale live broadcast thanks to Xiuli Entertainment, this
exciting performance was showcased in front of everyone. Hu Lai didn''t even have time for public
rtions.
Before the live broadcast ended, a few trending topics were already uploaded.
The contents were all discussing this matter.
Shi Jin''s fans had already heaved a sigh of relief. However, when they saw the name ''Jade'', they
were shocked.
"I cracked open.jpg, Shi Jin is actually Jade."
"Actually, I should have thought of it when I saw Shi Jin ying the piano."
"Wuwuwu, I''m a fan of some godly artist."
"Daughter, I don''t deserve to be your mother. I can only kneel down and watch your live stream."
The passersby also saw Shi Jin winning the award.
"Shi Jin won the Chopin Award? Can the fans not make things up? Do you know what award that
is? Can you not..." Then, they saw the joint Weibo posts of the Warsaw Philharmonic Music Hall
and the National Piano Association. "The Chopin Award, which should have been awarded a month
ago, has been dyed until now because of the death of a member of the organizingmittee.
We would like to congratte Shi Jin ?Little Stone for winning the internationalpetition finals.
Sheng Tian @Sheng Tian has won fifth ce in the internationalpetition."
"Ah... Shi Jin really won the championship..." The passerby stopped talking.
The value of this award was enough to shut anyone up.
It had been fifteen years since thest winner of the Chopin Award appeared.
After fifteen years, another champion was born. Furthermore, she was from Country S. The value of
this award was naturally iparable.
At the same time, the Ivy League match was also officially brought into the list of important
competitions - everything had been a blessing in disguise.
Among the people watching the live broadcast, there were many who were dumbfounded.
Wei Zai was one of the most confused ones.
"How could this be? How could this be?" He stood up and muttered to himself.
The others looked at him sympathetically. Speaking of which, although everyone had liked Shi Jin
and disliked Shi Xuexin previously, they had never imagined that Shi Xuexin would do such a thing
and be pped so ruthlessly on the spot.
Facing the desperate Wei Zai, no one dared to say anything.
Gu Jingyuan wanted to invite everyone to a meal to celebrate, but he swallowed his words after
ncing at Wei Zai.
sses Boy, on the other hand, heaved a huge sigh of relief. It was good that Shi Jin was fine.
At the Philharmonic Music Hall, after Shi Jin got off the stage, she walked towards the back of the
stage.
She did not need to remove her makeup or change her clothes. Hence, she walked past the
backstage and headed out.
She held the trophy in her hand and avoided the countless reporters that followed behind her.
The ck dress made her look like a ghost in the dark night. She walked backstage, leaving behind
only a shadow before disappearing without a trace.
Many contestants witnessed her arrival and departure. They were still immersed in the shock she
brought, but she had already disappeared.
Outside the door, things were not calm.
Xiuli Entertainment and Chu Ling had prepared a grand celebration for Shi Xuexin. After going
through all sorts of rehearsals, they were already prepared.
When Chu Ling went out, the waiting staff lit up hundreds ofnterns outside the venue and opened
the gift box in their hands.
With several bangs, the confetti floated in the air andnded on Chu Ling''s head.
The colorful lights shone on him.
"Congrattions!" the staff shouted excitedly.
They were preparing outside and didn''t dare to make any mistakes. Hence, they didn''t watch the
live broadcast nor did they leave. They didn''t know what was happening inside.

They only knew that after Chu Ling came out, they had to light all the lights and release the confetti.
Just as they rehearsed, they would deliver a huge bouquet of roses to Chu Ling.
These staff members were all Poles. Although they didn''t know what Chu Ling wanted to do, they
could imagine that Chu Ling would definitely confess to his girlfriend in such a romantic scene.
Furthermore, they had heard that his girlfriend was a very popr contestant.
Being able to witness and participate in such a romantic scene, the staff members were also filled
with anticipation.
The lights were shining brightly, and none of them noticed the exceptionally dark expression on Chu
Ling''s face.
At the same time, Chu Ling held the roses. A mocking and regretful smile appeared on his face.
He thought back to the time when he found out about his engagement with Shi Jin. He had thought
that the heavens were really kind to him to be able to marry such a cute and loving girl, butter on,
Shi Xuexin intervened.
She would look at him gently every time, and her words were sweet and touching. She would speak
ill of Shi Jin carefully and pretend that nothing had happened after saying that. She would even
advise him not to take Shi Jin''s willfulness and insensibility to heart.
In her words, Shi Jin was always insensible. She would disturb her while she was ying piano,
she would deliberately ruin her violin and destroy the things she liked.
And when Shi Jin''s face was scratched and she cried and said that it was Shi Xuexin''s doing, Chu
Ling''s disgust towards her reached its peak. He even felt ufortable when he looked at her, but
was that really the case?
Shi Xuexin''s words had been proven to be lies one after another in the past... This time, it was
focused in a one-time outburst.
The ovey of lies made him wonder at that moment if all her gentleness and generosity were
nothing more than masks.
He admitted that he had his own selfish reasons for choosing Shi Xuexin. He wanted to make use
of her to change his career. He wanted to get poprity from announcing their rtionship and gain
fans who liked them as a couple. However, the current Shi Xuexin... probably could not bring him
anything else. However, Shi Jin had everything that Shi Xuexin could not give.
Every time Shi Jin achieved something, Shi Xuexin would not be able to achieve it even if she spent
a few more years.
As for Shi Jin,pared to Shi Xuexin, her looks were like a rich flower walking on earth. She was
bright, resplendent, and dazzling...
Chu Ling clenched his fists until a staff member pushed him. "Sir, your girlfriend is out!"
Chu Ling instinctively wanted to throw the roses away. He raised his lifeless eyes and looked
backstage. His eyes were filled with thoughts.
