The host, beaming with excitement, warmed up the atmosphere before announcing, "And now, the winner in this round of competition is—"
Li Ying lifted her head high, envisioning the spotlight on her as she delivered her victory speech, with everyone else looking on in envy.
With a confident smirk, she awaited her name.
Wei Jia, meanwhile, remained calm and composed, showing no signs of emotion.
Li Ying, glancing at Wei Jia, found her unaffected demeanor increasingly pretentious.
The host declared, "The winner is—Wei Jia!"
The announcement was met with thunderous applause. Li Ying's smug expression froze in disbelief as she stared at Wei Jia.
Wei Jia's tension eased into a smile.
Li Ying, seeing Wei Jia's smile, felt a sting of annoyance and protested, "I don't accept this result!"
The room fell silent, all eyes turning to Li Ying.
Gu Dai, arms crossed and with a sly smile, inquired, "And why don't you accept it?"
