RPAGF Chapter 140 Starlight Banquet
Chapter 140 Starlight Banquet
Qiu Nian arrived in Haicheng on the morning of the banquet, and after the banquet, she had to take a flight back to Ningcheng in the middle of the night.
Qiu Nian felt it wasn't appropriate to take leave during the filming of the TV series, so she wanted to try to make a round trip on the same day to avoid delaying the filming.
In fact, several actors in their crew, including the male lead Gu Chenming, had to take leave to attend this event. To be honest, Qiu Nian didn't need to be so cautious, but she felt that as a newcomer, it was better to be more careful.
Red carpet events like these can very directly reflect a celebrity's status or their recent popularity; the higher the status, the later they appear.
Given An Ling and An Yun's status, although they weren't at the level to be the final performers, their appearance order was still quite far back.
An Ling and An Luo were scheduled to appear before An Yun and Qiu Nian.
Anlu wore a black haute couture suit today. Although black is an understated color, the designer added some small black sequins to it. As she moved, these sequins reflected different levels of luster, making her look both calm and sophisticated while also being eye-catching.
An Ling also wore a haute couture black velvet off-the-shoulder dress. The dress itself was simple and elegant, and she was paired with a set of jewelry made of jade, which made her look noble and elegant.
After being reminded by staff to make their way out, An Ling took An Luo's arm, and the two slowly stepped onto the red carpet.
Photographers on both sides snapped photos rapidly, flashes went off one after another, and the live stream chat instantly filled the entire screen.
[A real-life wealthy sibling duo has arrived! They're so eye-catching!]
[Seriously, Anling and Anluo aren't related by blood, right? Can we ship them?!]
Even a gluttonous girl can't eat everything, right?
[Who cares! I'll eat a little of everything for a balanced diet!]
[Even without blood ties, this is still considered orthopedics on the same household registration, no sabotage allowed!]
[I didn't expect the two of them to leave together. It seems the An family really treats An Ling like a daughter.]
So they've really given up on Anrui?
Walking the red carpet was already a familiar routine for An Ling. She maintained a steady pace, flashed a standardized smile, and waved to both sides from time to time. With this assembly-line operation, An Ling could still spare a thought for the original plot.
In the original storyline, An Ling walked the red carpet with An Rui. Qiu Nian and Gu Chenming appeared before them. However, when An Ling walked the red carpet, she couldn't control herself and glanced at Qiu Nian's back with a jealous look from a distance. This glance was captured by the media and made a big fuss about it.
Thinking about this, An Ling couldn't help but wonder what An Rui was doing. She hadn't paid attention to An Rui for a long time and wondered if he had gotten out of that situation of drinking to escape reality.
[Maybe we should check it out. Knowing An Rui's personality, he might be watching the live stream while stabbing me in the back, hahaha.]
An Luo was slightly taken aback when he first heard An Rui's name, but after hearing the whole sentence, he smiled helplessly.
They had almost finished walking the entire red carpet, and ahead lay the steps leading to the banquet hall. The annual Starlight Gala Dinner was held in the banquet hall on the first floor of the Starlight Building.
After going up the steps and entering the hall, they signed their names on the signature board at the entrance of the lobby and completed a brief interview. That was how they finished the red carpet part of the star-studded gala.
Anluo's left foot had already stepped onto the first step, but she felt a slight resistance coming from the part of her right arm that Anling was holding.
Anluo turned her head in confusion and found that Anling had stopped in place and seemed to have no intention of moving forward.
Although she didn't know why Anling suddenly stopped, Anluo still pulled her foot back first.
He was about to ask why when he saw an extremely terrified expression on An Ling's face. Then she slowly raised her head and looked up at the sky.
"What's wrong?" Anluo asked with concern, subconsciously raising her head to see what Anling was looking at.
But as soon as he raised his head, he felt An Ling push him hard from the side.
Anluo staggered a few steps to the side. He could have regained his balance, but Anling lunged at him again.
He wasn't fully on his feet to begin with, and after being pounced on like that, he completely lost his balance and fell backward, becoming An Ling's human cushion as she pinned him down.
Throughout this entire process, Anluo was in a daze, completely unable to understand what Anling was doing.
He fell heavily to the ground, a dull pain shooting through his back.
Almost simultaneously with the pain, Anluo heard a loud bang, seemingly coming from not far from her feet, as if something heavy had hit the ground.
Then came screams and gasps from countless people, and the scene instantly became chaotic.
All of this happened in just a few seconds. Anluo lay on the ground, half of his vision filled with the pitch-black night sky and the other half with the Starlight Building. In a daze, he seemed to see a dark shadow shrink back on a certain floor of the building, but his brain was not yet able to analyze what had happened.
At this moment, An Ling pushed herself up and rolled to the side, but instead of getting up, she sat down on the ground.
The weight that had been pressing down on her body was finally gone, and Anluo was able to sit up.
He was about to ask An Ling what had happened, but the scene before him completely stunned him the moment he sat up.
Anluo's pupils contracted as he stared in disbelief at the several pieces of "wood" lying before him, their original form unrecognizable. He could only vaguely deduce from the shapes of these fragments that they must have formed a piece of furniture like a cabinet or drawer in life.
And they were lying right where he and Anling had just been standing!
The loud noise that Anluo just heard was the sound of this wooden furniture falling from the high-rise building and breaking into pieces!
If it weren't for An Ling's actions, there wouldn't just be a few pieces of furniture lying there now, but also his and An Ling's corpses!
Anluo suddenly turned her head to look at Anling sitting to the side. Anling was breathing rapidly, her eyes were wide open, and the look of fear on her face had not completely faded. She was obviously frightened and had not yet recovered.
"Xiao Ling!"
"Xiao Luo!"
Two extremely urgent and worried voices came from afar, and it was An Yun and Qiu Nian running over.
Their turn was originally after Anling and Anluo. When Anling and Anluo were almost finished walking the red carpet, they had already appeared. Because they were on the same red carpet, they could clearly see everything that was happening in front of them.
An Yun and Qiu Nian's minds went blank, leaving only their bodies' instinctive reaction. They took off their high heels after a few steps and continued running.
When the two saw that Anling and Anluo were sitting properly on the ground, they realized that they were already covered in cold sweat and their legs were trembling.
