Chapter 124: The Championship's Destination

The people at the scene were astonished and surprised; while they found it hard to believe, Gu Mianmian could no longer force a smile.

Gu Mianmian felt as if her heart had been deeply pierced; it was impossible... how could Gu Wenyan have possibly cultivated such an endangered and rare species?

Just how much capability did Gu Wenyan actually have to be able to reach this level??

How on earth did Gu Wenyan manage it?!

Gu Mianmian simply could not wrap her head around this point; no matter how she thought about it, she felt there was no such possibility!

Yet everything before her eyes was laid out in living reality... even if she had further doubts, she could not say a word.

Gu Mianmian suppressed the anger and jealousy in her heart, and she also saw those around her revealing expressions different from before.

They were no longer angry, nor were they clamoring anymore, and they looked at Gu Wenyan with extraordinary enthusiasm: "Oh my, you should have said so earlier! We wouldn't have had such a misunderstanding..."

"That's right, Eldest Miss Gu, you are truly amazing to be able to cultivate such precious endangered plants! This is a huge contribution to the growth of the entire wild plant population!"

"Exactly, I think so too. It was us who were too shallow; Miss Gu is truly impressive!"

"Miss Gu is just too wonderful, it makes one very admiring!"

Now, the tone and manner of these people had undergone a complete transformation, while Gu Wenyan remained calm throughout: "Alright everyone, since you have all seen it, do you have any objections to my work entering the second round?"

The others immediately denied it loudly: "No, no, I have no objections at all!"

"I think it is very reasonable for this work to enter the second round!"

"That's right, if a work like this doesn't enter the second round, who could?"

"I understand now; the organizers did have serious considerations in this regard... It was us who were too narrow-minded just now; we are ashamed of our inferiority!"

"I will absolutely never do this again... It is very fitting that you came to participate in this event today, Miss Gu!"

"Miss Gu, you are also the most important contestant at our event today; with you here, we can consider ourselves very honored!"

Everyone marveled at being able to attend such a magnificent International Flower Expo, and even some foreigners were praising Gu Wenyan.

Everyone was in awe of the efforts she had made.

Gu Wenyan walked back to her brothers, and the look in their eyes as they watched her was full of emotion.

Gu Yechen's emotions fluctuated: "Wen Yan, you were actually doing such things in secret... Why did you never tell us before?"

"There was nothing to say. If it weren't for the fact that there were no other works participating in the Exhibition this time, I might not have brought them out."

After all, the remaining plants were to be transplanted into the wild in a while.

"Having a younger sister like Wen Yan... I'm the one basking in the glory." For a rare moment, the usually cold and arrogant Gu Yefeng actually revealed such a smile.

And Gu Yeting also rubbed his nose and said: "I apologize once again for the prejudices I held against you before. Wen Yan, I do not ask for your forgiveness now, but I hope you can feel my regret."

Gu Wenyan only smiled and said nothing; instead, while everyone was gathered around her discussing things in a hubbub, she cast her gaze toward the man not far away.

From just a moment ago, Bao Sihan had been quietly watching her from the corner.

His eyes were filled with love and doting, as if most of the time... he was just watching her silently like this, accompanying her by her side.

Gu Wenyan immediately abandoned her brothers and rushed toward Bao Sihan, throwing herself into his arms in full view of everyone: "When did you get here?"

"I've been here for a while, and I saw the expression you gave just now that was so surprising and admirable."

"... Oh, stop trying to make me happy; I'm not as good as you say."

"You are." The man gently stroked Gu Wenyan's head, "I also never knew that you had made such a contribution."

"I just wanted to do what I could."

Gu Wenyan rubbed against his chest: "Alright, I'll take you around to look; the judging for the competition doesn't start for a while anyway."

In fact, regardless of whether there was judging or not today, everyone already knew the result; whether from the rarity of the flowers and plants themselves or the practical significance of Gu Wenyan transplanting these plants, it all represented that today...

No one could surpass her entry, so everyone could actually already guess the final result.

There was no suspense as to who would win, and the others only wanted to compete for second and third place.

As for Gu Mianmian, if she wanted to win an award, at most it would be an excellence award, but even if she got it, it would be of no use.

After all, who the champion of the day was had already been set in stone; there was almost no suspense.

Many people did not know that there was someone live-streaming this Exhibition today, and the person live-streaming...

was actually secretly arranged by Gu Mianmian, for the purpose of putting the footage of her winning an award on the internet so that many people would know that she, in fact, possessed the same talent as Gu Wenyan.

She was not the least bit weaker than Gu Wenyan!

However, a wild card had appeared halfway through.

Gu Mianmian had never imagined that Gu Wenyan would have such a performance, and that she would bring out such precious plants...

The internet had already exploded.

"Holy crap!! The Gu Family Eldest Miss is just too awesome!"

"I thought Gu Wenyan was just good at growing flowers, but she's not just growing them casually! This is a level completely comparable to a planting expert; who else has this ability?"

"Incredible, I'm convinced! I will never doubt her again!"

"Compared to the Gu Family Eldest Miss, that Second Miss of the Gu Family is just a useless socialite who only knows how to eat, drink, and play..."

"That's for sure, what ability does Gu Mianmian have to compare with Gu Wenyan? Compared to her, Gu Mianmian's merits don't count for anything at all!"

"Sigh, I admire Gu Wenyan very much now... I want to treat her as my own life idol!"

If Gu Mianmian saw these comments now, she would definitely be furious.

But this was also her own doing; she purely deserved it.

Gu Wenyan and Bao Sihan walked around the Exhibition site, and when they returned, it was time for the final judging.

As everyone expected, Gu Wenyan indeed took home the final championship.

She was very calm when receiving the award, as if whether or not she had won this prize was not that important to her; the more she was like this... the more jealous it made Gu Mianmian.

But what made Gu Mianmian break down even more was yet to come.

As the Exhibition was coming to an end, Gu Yeting suddenly took Gu Mianmian aside and said sternly: "Mianmian, were you a bit too deliberate today?"

Gu Mianmian was stunned and played dumb: "Brother, what are you talking about?"

Gu Yeting's expression was cold: "Those things you said at the Exhibition... were all intentionally leading everyone to question Wen Yan."
