Chapter 213 The paparazzi snapped photos of Shen Mei.
"The match... Waaah... The match."
Shen Mei cried, slowly curled up, and touched her feet.
Seeing that she could still move, Shen Yao knew that there was nothing seriously wrong.
"You've brought this upon yourself. If it happens again, I won't let you off so easily."
Shen Yao stomped on the broken Walkman a few more times before going upstairs back to Shen Wancheng's side.
Shen Wancheng then said to Wang Qiang.
"If you and your newspaper report on this matter in the future, you should think carefully about the consequences."
Wang Qiang had already stood up from the ground. Hearing that Shen Wancheng meant she wouldn't pursue the matter, he quickly bowed deeply.
"Miss Shen, please rest assured, not a single word of this will be leaked."
Wang Qiang is not like Shen Mei; he is ignorant and fearless.
He's from the Gu and He families, top-tier wealthy families in Hong Kong. Their influence in Hong Kong is immense; killing him would be easier than crushing an ant.
He had previously heard from Shen Mei that she had exclusive scoops about Shen Wancheng. He agreed to it for two reasons: first, he was blinded by greed; second, because the media was full of reports about Shen Wancheng's wedding, he mistakenly thought that Shen Wancheng didn't care about these gossip reports.
Now that Wang Qiang knows Shen Wancheng's attitude towards this matter, he certainly doesn't dare to report it recklessly.
Shen Wancheng glanced again at Shen Mei, who was still lying on the ground sobbing.
Then say it to Wang Qiang.
"Forget everything you heard today. Shen Mei has nothing to do with me. Whether she can participate in the competition or why she can't continue to participate is none of my business."
Wang Qiang nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood.
"I want you to know that her inability to participate has nothing to do with me, and I want everyone else to know that too, understand?"
Wang Qiang's eyes lit up instantly.
How can we prevent others from knowing about Shen Wancheng, but still make sure everyone knows why Shen Mei can't participate in the competition?
Of course, I made it all up using my own brain!
If it's something good about the Miss Hong Kong contestants, it's usually not worth reporting.
But as for why someone withdrew from the competition, even a ridiculous and gossipy reason could be very appealing.
I got beaten up today, it would be a waste not to get some information back with me.
"Understood, Miss Shen."
Shen Wancheng glanced at Wang Qiang, who was immediately distracted, and left without saying anything more, taking Shen Yao and Ke La with her.
Wang Qiang glanced at Shen Mei, who was still sobbing, and reached behind him to touch his camera, only to realize that it had been smashed.
Wang Qiang then made a face.
The camera belonged to the magazine, and since it was smashed while in his possession, he definitely had to pay for it.
It's all Shen Mei's fault.
Wang Qiang glared fiercely at Shen Mei on the ground.
He quickly left the building; he had a colleague downstairs at the TV station, and he needed to hurry to borrow his colleague's camera.
Seeing that she was now alone in the hallway, Shen Mei felt a surge of grievances, and tears streamed down her face.
She had overcome numerous obstacles and endured immense hardship to reach the finals.
She was confident that she would win an award today.
Now it's all over... there's nothing left.
Shen Mei thought of Wang Qiang, who had turned against her, Shen Yao, who had spoken ill of her, and Shen Wancheng, who was high and mighty.
I felt extremely wronged and pitiful.
My feet hurt so much.
Am I going to become lame?
Shen Mei slowly sat up from the ground, shrank to the wall, and hugged her legs.
I was momentarily lost and didn't know what to do.
Wang Qiang returned quickly.
He held a new camera in his hand and started snapping pictures of Shen Mei.
Shen Mei looked terrified and instinctively covered her face with her hands to block the camera.
"Why are you filming me? I'm already like this! Why are you still filming me?"
Wang Qiang sneered, "Didn't you say you'd give me an exclusive? Well, I'm filming an exclusive!"
At that moment, another man led a woman into the stairwell.
Shen Mei thought it was a staff member and immediately shouted.
"Help! Help!" Shen Mei shouted, pointing at Wang Qiang. "Grab him! He's a paparazzi who's infiltrated the area."
Wang Qiang turned around, smiled at the man, and then said to the woman.
"You walk past, I'll only take a picture of your back."
The person who came in was actually in cahoots with Wang Qiang!
Shen Mei was terrified.
This sudden shift from hope to despair nearly caused Shen Mei to break down emotionally.
Shen Mei didn't know what the woman wanted to do as she approached her, so she shuffled backward on the ground.
What are you going to do?
The woman laughed and countered, "What do you think I'm going to do?"
Shen Mei was terrified and huddled in the corner, too scared to move.
The woman looked down at her.
Wang Qiang snapped photos from behind.
After taking the photos, he looked through them again and seemed satisfied.
"Alright, let's go."
Then Wang Qiang left with the man and woman who had come in later.
Shen Mei was somewhat surprised that they left without doing anything to her, and also somewhat afraid of this unknown feeling.
Because Shen Mei knew that Wang Qiang would definitely not let it go so easily.
But she couldn't guess what Wang Qiang was going to do.
Shen Mei curled up and started crying again.
She was afraid, terrified, regretful, and resentful.
She had too many emotions inside and needed to vent.
"Ring ring..."
A bell rang outside the stairwell.
This is a reminder that the match has started.
Shen Mei suddenly woke up and tried to stand up, supporting herself against the wall.
"Sigh~"
A sharp pain shot through her ankle, and Shen Mei gasped in pain.
Shen Mei tried taking a step forward.
My feet felt like they were stepping on sharp cones, unable to bear any weight.
The tears that had just stopped started flowing again.
How can she compete when she's like this?
It's all over.
Shen Mei, supporting herself against the wall, hopped on one foot toward the athletes' rest area.
*
The Miss Hong Kong Island pageant lasted from afternoon to evening, culminating in the crowning of the final winner.
Ye Ningshuang not only won the Miss Hong Kong Island title, but also received the Miss Photogenic award and the special award of "Top 100 Goddess of Wisdom".
After the competition, the winners were naturally surrounded by reporters who eagerly sought interviews.
Shen Wancheng greeted Ye Ningshuang from afar and then left.
Given Ye Ningshuang's condition today, it's uncertain how long we'll have to wait for her to finish and have the celebration banquet.
However, when Shen Wancheng left, she saw Shen Mei again. She was sitting in a wheelchair and surrounded by many reporters.
Shen Mei was injured an hour before the match and had to withdraw from it. No one would believe that this was a simple accident.
So, unable to get to the front to interview Ye Ningshuang and the other award-winning contestants, the reporters simply went to interview Shen Mei instead. After all, the public loves to read gossip.
Shen Mei burst into tears in front of the camera, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.
He kept apologizing.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
"I'm sorry to all my fans, I didn't mean to withdraw from the competition."
"I really wanted to participate in the competition and give everyone a wonderful performance, but I accidentally injured someone and had to withdraw. I'm sorry."
The reporters were all seasoned veterans of the entertainment industry. Although Shen Mei only said two words before changing her tune, they still managed to glean the key point from her statement.
"Shen Mei, so what if you said it was an accident? Was your injury caused by someone?"
"Is there someone who sees you as a formidable rival and is willing to hurt you?"
"It's such a pity that you had to withdraw from the finals due to injury, Shen Mei. Will you retaliate against the player who injured you?"
"Shen Mei, may I ask who the competitor was who injured you?"
