Chapter 644: 0634 Forever third ce   Chapter 644: 0634 Forever third ce                                   She couldn’t help but let a victorious smile bloom on the corner of her mouth.


    She knew it would be no problem at all!


    As long as she stood on the award podium, as long as she imed the championship, fully proving her strength, who would dare to question her?


    Who would believe she was a copycat?


    Everything depended on tonight!


    Sess was the only option, not failure!


    Her heart was pounding wildly, “thump, thump, thump,” nonstop!


    After the disy of number 9 finished, it wasn’t long before it was number 10’s turn.


    The audience below had lost much of their interest after watching nine serial disys, as aesthetic fatigue had set in.


    Besides, in their minds, the champion could be none other than number 9. Thest participant was simply making up the numbers.


    But when the final work of number 10 appeared on stage, everyone was stunned into silence, at a loss for words.


    How should it be described?


    Pretty?


    Too vulgar!


    Beautiful?


    Not perfect enough!


    Each piece worn by the model was breathtaking, and the fluttering hemline seemed to touch their hearts.


    What followed was an itching envy!


    “My God… so… so beautiful…”


    “Ah ah ah… so beautiful, so pretty!”


    “That’s precisely what’s missing from my wardrobe. It’s truly gorgeous!”


    “And this color, thebination is just too stunning!”


    “I’ve changed my mind, I’m for number 10.”


    “Me too, definitely number 10, it must be number 10.”


    Hearing this, Su Xinyan’s proud smile gradually faded a bit, as she hadn’t expected number 10’s work to be so astonishing.


    Even she couldn’t help but be moved.


    But who was the designer of number 10?


    Lydia?


    She turned and nced at Lydia not far away, clenching her hands tightly together.


    The most vocal support was for numbers 9 and 10, and without a doubt, the champion of the evening would be one of these two.


    After all the disys had ended, the host returned to the stage.


    “Thank you to each of our models for their disy. Now, we will announce the winners of the top three positions in this World Designer Competition. Please wee the globally renowned designer Benny Novy to announce and bestow the third-ce prize winner of the 57th World Designer Competition.”


    In the midst of apuse, Benny Novy slowly walked on stage, and after a brief speech, he began the official announcement:


    “The third-ce winner of the 57th World Designer Competition is–


    Number 6 ‘Eternal ssic,’ congrattions, Miss Lydia!”


    Thunderous apuse erupted below, yet Lydia’s face turned increasingly pale.


    Third ce?


    Third again?


    The spotlight was on Lydia, forcing her to pretend calmness and to put on a smile.


    At that moment, Su Xinyan, not too far away, stepped forward with a congrattory smile, hugged Lydia lightly, and whispered in her ear:


    “Congrattions, Lydia, forever third ce.”


    Lydia’s face darkened instantly, her beautiful eyes coldly ring at her.


    “You think tonight’s championship is already in your pocket? The final results haven’t been officially announced yet.”


    Su Xinyan arched an eyebrow with a proud and scornful smile.


    “No matter what the final result is, it seems to have nothing to do with you. I’ve received good rankings both times I’vepeted, but what about you? How many times have you participated? Still third ce? Seems like talent is indeed very important!”


    Because of the “giarism” incident, Su Xinyan had never taken Su Ran seriously, considering Lydia her biggestpetition!


    So, when she found out that she was the winner of the third ce, her heart also let out a sigh of relief.


    Even though No. 10 had a higher im to the championship than her, her prestige and status were there to see. Compared to an unknown little designer, wasn’t her chance much greater?


    Lydia’s face turned even darker as she watched Su Xinyan’s fake and nauseating smile. She sneered:


    “In terms of talent, who can surpass R? Do you think you canpletely suppress R this time, so you start to get smug in front of me, don’t you? Heart, don’t forget, even if my ranking is below yours this time, in terms of seniority, I am still your predecessor.”


    Su Xinyanughed softly, “Predecessor? It must be hard for you, a predecessor, to be far behind someone who is only participating in thepetition for the second time, isn’t it?”


    “You…”


    Su Xinyan hooked her lips, at the same time innocently saying:


    “Am I wrong? Lydia, you were supposed to be behind me this time, weren’t you?”


    Lydia had never seen such shameless people before. She was now certain that none of the things exposed online in her home country were false usations against her.


    An angel’s face, a devil’s heart!


    A person who can’t even conceal her emotions, she didn’t believe she could go far!


    “Su Xinyan, when doing things, you should think about leaving yourself some leeway, don’t let your arrogance take away even the chance to regret,” Lydia warned.


    Su Xinyan sneered, “We shall see.”


    After tonight, she would be the one many people looked up to.


    Arrogance requires capital.


    She had that capital, so what was there to fear?


    Heh! Regret?


    Impossible in this lifetime!


    “Now, please invite Miss Lydia to the stage to ept her award and give her eptance speech!” the host’s voice came from the stage.


    Lydia took a deep breath to steady her emotions and put on a smile again. She gracefully walked up to the stage with her skirt in hand.


    After the eptance speech, it was time for the award of the runner-up!


    “Next, we invite the president of the International Fashion Association, Mr. Ravani, and Mr. Gael to announce and present the runner-up of the 57th World Designer Competition.”


    Simrly, under a round of apuse, Gael went up on stage. He skipped the speech and simply announced:


    “I dere that the runner-up of the 57th World Designer Competition is–


    No. 9, ‘Gentleman in Flowers,’ congrattions to Miss Heart!”


    “…”


    “…”


    “…”


    When Gael’s words fell, the whole venue became terrifyingly quiet.


    Dead silence, without even a round of apuse!


    Because of what had just happened, everyone thought that Heart was the champion of this year’s designerpetition.


    And many people felt she would make a hugeeback to surpass R, but now she suddenly became the runner-up.


    For a moment, no one reacted, and they also forgot to apud!


    The world’s runner-up…


    It looked like a joke.


    Su Xinyan’s face turned pale, and she clenched her hands tightly together.


    “Heh!”


    Su Ran, standing by her side, suddenly let out a lightugh, taking the lead in a round of sparse apuse.


    Then one after another!


    Eventually, scattered pping filled the hall.


    Yet these rounds of apuse sounded like resounding ps, harshly striking Su Xinyan’s face.


    Su Ran’s lightugh seemed like a sharp knife, stabbing deeply into her heart.


    Lydia, watching from the stage, chuckled as if she had anticipated this.


    Su Xinyan stood frozen, biting her lip, her face a picture of disbelief.


    Wen Peipei and Gu Heng also had extremely ugly expressions. The guaranteed champion had suddenly be the runner-up!


    “Wasn’t it said that Heart would be the champion? How… did she be second ce?”
