Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

After thinking it over, she took a step forward, approached Yu Ru, and whispered in her ear: "Madam, I don't think this shoe horn is capable. How could someone with such bad intentions like her win the gold medal? Although I don't understand designing those things, I think beautiful things can only be created by the purest and kindest people with supreme creativity. There must be an inside story. You should be the gold medal winner. Can you appeal this title?"

Yu Ru tilted her head slightly and shook her head gently.

"Oh..." Sister Shan let out a sigh of regret.

At the front desk, two hosts began to introduce the winning information of the contest's winners.

"There are a total of 16 winners of this competition. They are Mr. Meng Feifan from Baicheng, Ms. Chen Miao from Jiangcheng, and Ms. Ikara from Ukraine..."

After introducing the winning awards, we moved on to the gold, silver and bronze awards.

"The bronze medal winner of this competition is Ms. Park Ya-yeon from Han Guo, and the silver medal winner is Ms. Yu Ru from Hwaseong. At the same time, Ms. Yu Ru's design is also the most popular work in this competition, and she won the Super Popular Star Award of our competition." This was the speech of the female host. She stopped talking when she introduced Yu Ru, and it was the turn of the male host next to her to speak.

"Next, let me reveal to you the gold medal winner of our urban innovation design competition. The gold medal winner of our competition is..." In order to create an atmosphere, the male host deliberately paused here for a while.

"Who is it? It's Miss Deng Huairou from Hecheng! Congratulations!"

Hearing this name, Yu Ru suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the host on the other side of the stage, her hands tightly grasping the clothes on both sides of her thighs. Her breathing suddenly became a little rapid, her heart was beating wildly, her mind was more chaotic than before, and the scene in front of her began to distort and become a little blurry.

Everything around her became narrow in her eyes, as if the space was constantly compressing, and the sky and the earth were merging together, shattering the present and taking her back to the world that existed in the past. She did not look forward to the past, and the fragmented scenes flashing through her mind gave her a headache. She slowly raised one hand, pressed it on her heart, and took a deep breath seriously.

Sister Shan had been paying attention to her the whole time. When she saw her put her hand on her heart, she immediately felt something was wrong and hurried forward to support her. "Boss, what's wrong?"

Yu Ru hung her head weakly and shook her head. She turned back with difficulty, wanting to talk to Sister Shan and take a look at the gold medal winner, but the gold medal winner spoke first, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she knocked her down to a position lower than the ground.

"Yu Ru, is that you?" Deng Huairou asked Yu Ru with a displeased look.

Yu Ru's heart suddenly trembled, and she looked up at the gold medal winner. This time, she finally saw her face clearly, but this was not what she wanted to see. It was the person she guessed, her high school classmate, Deng Huairou.

Deng Huairou tilted her mouth, looked Yu Ru up and down, smiled and said: "Yu Ru, it's you, isn't it? I didn't expect that after so long, you haven't changed at all. I really felt familiar with you at first glance. Now that I see your face, it is indeed you. Do you remember me? I'm Deng Huairou. We were classmates in Luoluo Middle School when we were in high school."

The winners of the grand prize began to go on stage, like a string of small fish, slowly moving out one after another. Yu Ru glanced in the direction they left, then turned back to look at Deng Huairou and nodded.

Her nod made Deng Huairou's smile deepen.

Deng Huairou took a few steps forward and reached out to hold her hand, "Yu Ru, it's been a long time since we last met. What a coincidence..."

Her tone was familiar and her movements were enthusiastic, with a sense of surprise as if she and Yu Ru had once been good friends but had not seen each other for many years.

Yu Ru pulled Shan Jie back half a step, showing resistance on her face. Deng Huairou looked unhappy at her action, she withdrew her hands, clasped them in front of her chest, showing an aggressive attitude, the sarcasm on her face almost seeped out of her skin and flowed towards Yu Ru.

"Yu Ru, you still can't talk. Are you not used to interacting with people?" Deng Huairou looked around, as if to confirm whether anyone was paying attention to them. "It's okay. People who can't talk to others have some problems in their hearts. I understand. By the way, is the ugly scar on your face healed? Don't you need to wear a mask now?"

Sister Shan moved her position to completely block Yu Ru behind her. She stared at Deng Huairou, swallowed her saliva, and was about to scold her when Yu Ru grabbed her hand. She looked back and saw Yu Ru calmly shaking his head at her.

"Boss..." Sister Shan's eyes were filled with anger.

Yu Ru still shook her head, [A little later, I will be on stage soon.]

"Okay." Sister Shan tried her best to suppress her anger, turned around and stopped looking at Deng Huairou.

Deng Huairou looked at them, sneered, and said, "Yu Ru, did I make you uncomfortable just now? I'm sorry, I'm a straightforward person, don't take it to heart, I don't mean any harm. By the way, you look pretty good today, like a concubine in the Republic of China period."

Yu Ru's outfit today is a short jacket with golden inverted sleeves and a rose-grey embroidered long vest, which is a style of cheongsam. Her hair is tied up in a bun, and decorated with two silver-gilt and kingfisher-patterned butterfly-flower combs. With this outfit, coupled with her own temperament, she looks very graceful and elegant. Normal people will definitely praise her beauty. Deng Huairou's way of praising this "concubine" is clearly to stir up trouble.

Sister Shan couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately said in a stern voice: "Madam, I understand you. Is it because you are so annoying that no one wants to communicate with you that you keep rushing up to talk to my boss? I can see that you want to show off your self-righteous excellence and beauty, but don't waste your time, no one cares about you. If you continue to be so mediocre, others will not say anything, but if you are so uneducated and vicious, others will want to scold you once they come into contact with you. Isn't what you said the same as calling someone a mistress? If you have the guts, say you are a mistress in front of everyone. Otherwise, I tell you, either apologize to my boss or don't blame me for being rude."

"Hey~ what did I say?" Deng Huairou raised his eyebrows, "I have a vicious mind? It's you who are dark-minded and misinterpreted what I said, right? Then..."

She tilted her head back, as if she was a swan, but in fact her neck was not long, and it looked like she had a stiff neck. Before she could finish her next sentence, Yu Ru flashed in front of Sister Shan and slapped Deng Huairou in the face.

"what!"

The slap was so strong that Deng Huairou screamed. Her right cheek turned red and left a faint mark. She suddenly looked up at Yu Ru, full of disbelief, "Yu Ru, you bitch, cousin! Are you sick?"

Yu Ru looked at her expressionlessly, and raised his hand to slap her again. This time she was prepared and tried to block it with her hand, but Yu Ru pulled her hand away in time, and the slap still landed smoothly on her face.
