Chapter 37 A mistake
The host looks at Jenny, following the spotlight with a smile on his face.
He feels surprised to see Jenny who looks embarrassed and he looks down subconsciously on the
script.
He’s righ. The first one to get onto stage should be Jessica.
With the spotlight on herself, Jenny gets stuck in a dilemma under people’s discussion.
“Shouldn’t it be Jessica?”
“Isn’t that Jenny? What’s going on?”
Under the stage, Shawn casts a re at the assistant beside her, “What is it? Didn’t you tell him?”
The assistant trembles with fear, “Shawn, I didn’t have the time. It would be Jessica’s turn but he’s
been up there all the time. And Jenny suddenly showed up. So I didn’t have the time.”
“Jessica is the n but Jenny isn’t.”
“There must be an inside story. Jenny has got good exposuretely.”

“She must have support.”
Jenny knits her brows more and more tightly as she listens to the whispers.
At this moment, the host should have told some jokes to ease the awkward atmosphere; but he is a
new hand without any experience to tackle the emergency situation, so he just stands there,
speechless.
Jenny clenches her fingers, walks to the center on her high heels, and nods to the host.
He passes the microphone to her hesitantly.
“Hello everyone, in case you don’t know me, I’m Jenny. This program features me and Jessica, my
senior. She is the mainstay of ourpany, so she should of course be in the grand finale. I guess the
host skipped my name for he mistook me as a staff here, after all I’m not famous.”
The audience burst intoughter.
Jenny wags her tongue and smiles at the host, bowing herself slightly. She eases the embarrassment
under people’s kindugh.
The host felt surprised at her. Her quick reaction ability surpasses that of her age when she eased the
embarrassment with her logical joke; what’s more impressive is that she remained calm without
appearing unhappy or upset when she was called the wrong name.
He lowers his head to read the script to find out more about Jenny who he knows little about for her
name was addedst night. He is shocked when hees across that she was esteemed as Golden
Bear movie queen for the movie “I Want to Fly” at the age of 17.
The movie had pretty good word of mouth. It was a long story about the educated youth who went to
poor areas to study and stood up to the unfair treatment. The previous one third of it featured Jenny
who was picked up by Director Zhang from high school students, and the rest featured older actors.
The movie won the best international movie award, and to people’s surprise, the new actress who
acted as the 15-year-old educated youth defeated the old ones and won the Golden Bear movie queen.
Back then, Jenny looked sweet with two dimples on her tender, fat face at the age of 17.
So the host finds it somewhat unbelievable that she turns out to be an elegantdy.
She is no longer a young girl after all, and new actors keep making their debut in the entertainment
circle, so most audience members might have already forgotten her splendid achievement. The award
doesn’t seem to give her much help in the career.
“Jessica is truly splendid, so are you. You won the Golden Bear at 17. What an achievement for a
young girl! You’re being modest.”
The host follows her joke.
She smiles bashfully, and her eyes sh with sadness the moment she lowers her head.
“Just curious, why have you been inactive these four years after the award in the best moment for you
to develop?”
To that one, she’s got the standard answer from thepany.
“I was too young to take such a great honor, and I had to finish school, so I chose school as normal
people do.”
She was designed to be an educated young girl by thepany, and she does live up to the educated
part for she got the Bachelor of Business Management of The University of Melbourne.
The host asks questions from the script while reporters under the stage do not ask nice questions.
“Jenny, you were taken pictures when buying a pregnancy tester at the pharmacy. What’s the truth?
Did you get married without telling the public?”
The question provokes the crowds.
“I’ve always looked forward to exining it. I bought the tester for my friend not myself. I covered
myself totally but I still got recognized, so I’d better not do such a kind of favor again.”
Her answer is frank and calm, and makes the reporters speechless.
“What about your boyfriend outside this circle?”
Jenny is surprised to hear that. The previous scandal was between her and Frankie. Now that they
broke up, it wouldn’t be a lie if she denies it.
“I have male friends. Or else, who wouldpany me in my spare time?”
Rolling her eyes, she gives a tricky answer.
She was demanded not to give details about her boyfriend by thepany, so she follows it even
though she doesn’t know the reason.
All the reporters still look curious and keep raising questions sessively.
“Are you really dating Mr. Lu of Luke Up Group?”
“Did you really get in Mr. Lu’s car outside the pharmacy?”
No one dared to expose the license te number of Luke’s car, so such rumors aroused. In fact, the
reporters already confirmed that with no difficulty.
“Interesting, well, we’re just friends.”
Jenny criticizes them to herself: why do they ask these questions? The questions should have been
chosen.
“I’m sure you’ve got lots of questions, but we’ve got to save time for movie queen Jessica, who you’ve
been expecting to meet. It’s time for her now, I’m sure you wouldn’t like to miss this chance.”
The host interrupts the reporters as he casts a nce at the door and finds Jessica ready.
“Let’s wee our true movie queen, Jessica.”
Everyone casts the eyes on the door and finds Jessica looking vigorous in a white shirt and a demin
skirt as she walks to the stage leisurely.
Jenny breathes a relief and steps back to the shadow carefully.
The sound from her belly covers the host’s voice and she sneakily pets her own belly.
So hungry.
