Random Marriage II

Soon came the climax of the ceremony: the best actor/actress award... This time, because Tiffany wasn't around, the remaining four nominees actually felt like they stood a chance...

Especially Feng Jing!

The host introduced the guest presenter as Seohyun turned to look at Feng Jing. Seohyun noticed that her hands were clenched tightly together. From the looks of it, she was extremely anxious.

However, Seohyun peacefully turned around and sneered.

Soon, samples of the nominees' works appeared on the big screen. When footage of Tiffany in 'Survivor' started playing, everyone erupted in a loud applause.

Because, everyone understood that even if Tiffany was no longer acting, her creations still lasted forever and no one would be able to replace her.

It was clear to see that 'Survivor' was impressive and Tiffany's character was full of life.

So, even though the spotlight alternated between the nominees, the winner of the award was eventually the absent Tiffany.

As soon as her photo appeared on the big screen, everyone screamed excitedly before the guest presenter asked for the recipient to come to the stage.

Everyone was confused. Was Tiffany present at the ceremony? But when Seohyun stood up from her seat, everyone immediately understood what was happening: she had sent her assistant to represent her.

How reckless to not appear at such an important event...

Feng Jing watched as Seohyun approached the stage to accept the award she wanted on behalf of someone else.

Seohyun knew that Feng Jing would be upset, but this was exactly what she wanted.

Of course, as a mere representative, Seohyun wasn't there to replace Tiffany. She simply took the trophy from the host, walked over to the microphone and bowed before she explained, 

"I am Tiffany's assistant and I am here to receive this award on behalf of Tiffany. The reason she is absent today is because she is currently expecting and it is a little inconvenient for her to attend. That's right, she's pregnant!"

"Tiffany announced a while ago that she'd be retreating from acting indefinitely, but she is still very thankful that the committee has given her this award. At the moment, she has no intention to return to acting, but she is thankful for everyone's support and concern.

"Lastly, I would like to borrow this stage to express a few thoughts of my own. Initially, I never considered myself as someone within the inner circles of the industry, but a recent piece of news has pulled me into the spotlight and messed up my peaceful life."

"I am referring to news about my relationship with Ms. Feng Jing. Since she's also present here today, I would like to take the opportunity to clarify everything."

"We have nothing to do with each other. Whether we are blood related or come from the same strand of genetics, in my heart, I am an orphan and will always be an orphan."

"Besides, I am simply someone that works behind-the-scenes. I have no intention to create hype nor debut myself as an artist. I am a part of Superstar Media and Crown Empire and will forever follow Tiffany. So, I hope that all the rumors can now come to an end. Thank you."

Seohyun's words were clearly telling everyone that she would never acknowledge her mother-daughter relationship with Feng Jing.

If she had simply said these words to Feng Jing one-on-one, she wouldn't have taken it to heart, but the fact that Seohyun announced it in front of everyone meant that there was no chance that she would return to her side.
