Chapter 473 On the Red Carpet
On the dazzling red carpet, Jiang Ning was like a goddess walking out of a classical painting, and her every gesture exuded irresistible charm.
Her dress was custom-made by a famous designer.
The blue fabric was dotted with star-like crystals, which sparkled with her steps, like the brightest stars in the night sky.
Her high heels stepped on the soft red carpet, and every step seemed so firm and elegant, as if silently telling a story about growth and transformation.
At the press conference, the spotlights shone like stars, and all the focus was on Jiang Ning.
Her eyes inadvertently swept across the crowd, and suddenly, her gaze froze, because she saw the figure that once kept her awake at night.
——Meng Ze.
Memories from many years ago came flooding back like a tide, and those days of ridicule, humiliation and helplessness seemed like just yesterday.
But now, Jiang Ning is no longer the weak and bullied girl. A hint of determination and indifference flashed in her eyes.
Meng Ze, a former school bully and now a rising star in the entertainment industry, did not attract much attention when she appeared.
She wore an overly bright pink gown and tried to hide her inner insecurity with exaggerated makeup and accessories.
She noticed Jiang Ning's gaze, and the smile on her face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. She tried to pretend nothing had happened, but the panic in her eyes betrayed her.
The press conference began, and the host introduced the guests enthusiastically. When Jiang Ning was mentioned, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Jiang Ning walked onto the stage. Her speech was brief and powerful, with every word filled with confidence and strength.
Meng Ze sat in the corner, her face becoming more and more ugly, and she felt an unprecedented pressure.
During the halftime break, Jiang Ning deliberately walked towards Meng Ze. Her steps were unhurried, as if every step was calculated.
When Meng Ze saw Jiang Ning walking towards her, her heart beat faster, but she still pretended to be calm and forced a smile.
"Meng Ze, it seems that our destinies are always intertwined."
Jiang Ning's voice was calm and powerful, as if every word came from the depths of his heart.
Her eyes were firm and clear, like a lake in winter, cold yet powerful.
Then he looked straight at Meng Ze without any fear, without any sign of retreat in his eyes.
Meng Ze felt a little embarrassed. She laughed dryly and tried to ease the tense atmosphere with words:
"Yes, Jiang Ning, we have all grown up. We are no longer the carefree children we were back then."
However, Jiang Ning just smiled faintly, and there seemed to be an imperceptible coldness hidden in this smile.
She said softly:
"Yes, we have all changed a lot. But I always believe that it is difficult for a person's essence to change."
Jiang Ning deliberately paused for a moment in order to lower Meng Ze's psychological defenses again and again. Meng Ze's reaction made Jiang Ning certain that she had now completely fallen into her trap.
Hearing this, Meng Ze's expression changed slightly.
Because she did indeed keenly capture the deep meaning of Jiang Ning's words.
Despite this, Meng Ze still tried to turn the tide:
"Jiang Ning, don't talk about the past anymore. We should always look forward!"
But at this moment, Jiang Ning's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, like a sword piercing people's hearts.
Her tone became more determined:
"The past? Do you really think those painful experiences can be easily erased? Many nights, I would wake up from nightmares, and my mind was filled with the fear and hurt you brought to me. But now, everything will be different. I want you to understand clearly that I am no longer the Jiang Ning who allowed others to bully me!"
Faced with Jiang Ning's questioning, Meng Ze opened his mouth, but found himself speechless.
She felt an unprecedented fear, because everything before her showed that Jiang Ning came completely prepared this time.
