A Billion Stars Can't Amount to You

Chapter 513



To make sure their evening look was on point, Ji Yi and Zhuang Yi first had a full body SPA treatment then called a professional to do their make-up.

After their makeup was done and they changed into their dresses, it was already seven. It was about time to leave for Beiyang Hall.

As Zhuang Yi left to get the car from the underground parking lot of the salon, Ji Yi carefully checked herself all around in the mirror. After confirming that everything looked perfect, she picked up her handbag and leisurely walked out of the beauty salon.

After standing at the door for half a minute, Zhuang Yi’s car arrived.

The car stopped steadily. Zhuang Yi didn’t get out to help her open the door, so Ji Yi opened the car door herself. After she got into the car, she realized Zhuang Yi was in the middle of a call.

Ji Yi didn’t say anything and shut the car door.

Zhuang Yi raised her phone with one hand and maneuvered the steering wheel with the other as she drove out onto the main road.

They drove for about forty-five minutes as Zhuang Yi lowered the phone from her ear and put it down. As she drove, she said, “I have a good girlfriend who used to be a manager just like me. However, she jumped ship to Su Yihan’s company. She’s the main planner for this BL Charity Gala, and I just called her to ask for a program for tonight. I just sent it to your phone. Take a look.”

As Zhuang Yi finished speaking, Ji Yi’s phone went off – “Ding dong!”

She gave Zhuang Yi a soft “Mhm” then reached for her phone and opened the program Zhuang Yi sent to her.

Ji Yi skimmed through it once and realized that it was basically the same program from previous years. But then Ji Yi’s brows couldn’t help but gently furrow as her eyes swept across Qian Ge’s name.

Qian Ge was actually going to sing a duet with Cheng Ke tonight...

Cheng Ke had been famous for eight years, and he was still a respected elder in showbiz. There was a mind-blowing number of female celebrities who wanted to collaborate with him.

Four years ago, after she made it big, Ji Yi was lucky enough to work with him once, so she was somewhat familiar with him. She knew Cheng Ke was an upstanding person who especially hated people who stirred up trouble.

Three months ago, when she was shooting “Three Thousand Lunatics,” she heard rumors that Qian Ge’s new drama series was looking to cast Cheng Ke to boost her popularity.

After three months had passed, Qian Ge’s new drama hadn’t been finalized, yet she was going to be together with Cheng Ke at the BL Charity Gala...

As Zhuang Yi drove, she noticed that Ji Yi didn’t make a peep. She couldn’t resist checking the rear view mirror to glance at Ji Yi. “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

Ji Yi snapped back to reality and shook her head at Zhuang Yi. Then she replied “nothing” as her mind wandered again.

If she remembered correctly, when she and Cheng Ke worked together back then, Qian Ge was also there. She asked for a picture together with Cheng Ke but was tactfully rejected by him. However, Qian Ge secretly took a selfie with Cheng Ke at the dinner table. Though Cheng Ke’s face wasn’t in the picture, his unique arm tattoo could clearly be seen...

At that thought, Ji Yi hurriedly opened Qian Ge’s Weibo page and started to scroll down.

She scrolled till her fingers hurt. At last, Ji Yi found a photo Qian Ge had posted on Weibo.

Ji Yi took a screenshot, saved it to her phone and put her phone away.

...

People had to first walk down the red carpet to enter the main hall of the BL Charity Gala.

At the end of the red carpet were the interview and photo area.

When Ji Yi got out of the car, the minivan behind them happened to also open their doors. She instinctively glanced over to see...

Chapter 514: From Here on Out, You Are the Only One in My Heart (14)

When Ji Yi got out of the car, the minivan behind them happened to also open its doors. She instinctively glanced over to see a graceful, lilac silhouette elegantly emerge from the car.

Even though Ji Yi didn’t catch the face, she could still recognize that it was Qian Ge.

After Qian Ge found her footing, she sensed someone watching and turned her head in Ji Yi’s direction. Her eyes only vaguely glanced over Ji Yi’s face like she and Ji Yi didn’t know each other at all. Then she headed towards the security area by the reporters beyond the red line while revealing a perfectly well-trained smile practiced over the years.

Qian Ge wore a long, magical dress today and had her long hair in an updo with fine strands of hair falling around her fair neck. Her every expression seemed polished and honest. She looked a lot more majestic and dainty than ever before.

Ji Yi didn’t waste too much energy on Qian Ge as she quickly withdrew her gaze and walked down the red carpet with Zhuang Yi towards the entrance to the BL Charity Gala.

Each celebrity who entered had to leave their signature at the signing area in front of the interview and photo area.

Ji Yi picked up a pen from the lady MC and signed “Ji” onto the red board. Qian Ge, who originally stepped onto the red carpet after her, actually caught up to her. She stood next to her and signed her name at the same time.

Side by side with Qian Ge, Qian Ge’s popularity was far greater than Ji Yi’s. As they stood shoulder-to-shoulder together, practically all the reporters and attention were on Qian Ge.

In contrast to Qian Ge’s glow, after Ji Yi signed her name, she held her pen and shot a faint smile at the reporters in front of her. Only one or two lights flashed over her face.

Because Ji Yi and Qian Ge finished signing at the same time, the two of them also walked over to the interview area together.

Just like at the photo area, the eyes of the presenter in charge of the interview immediately lit up when she saw Qian Ge. “Our nation’s first love, Qian Ge, has arrived...”

Qian Ge and the presenter knew each other, so when she heard the presenter, she immediately plastered on a bright smile, made her way over and hugged her.

There were far too many celebrities at the BL Charity Gala today, so every celebrity had less than five minutes for their interviews. Qian Ge smiled brightly and shared two words then the presenter appropriately suggested, “Please go on in, Qian Ge, and get some rest.”

Qian Ge replied with a slight smile: “Alright.”

After Qian Ge left the interview area, Ji Yi was meant to be introduced next. However, after Qian Ge spoke, she glanced behind Ji Yi as though she saw a new fascinating world. Qian Ge cried in excitement: “Wow, our King of the Silver Screen, Shi Yang, is here.”

Ji Yi already blended into the crowd, but with Qian Ge now mentioning the renowned Shi Yang, the presenter’s full attention was naturally drawn towards him, ignoring Ji Yi. “Coming up next to our interview area is Shi Yang, who just received the title of ‘King of the Silver Screen’ last month...” the presenter said to Shi Yang after he finished signing.

Next to the interview area was the entrance to the BL Charity Gala. The lady in charge of clearing the door area and maintaining the flow of the red carpet immediately came forward and politely said to Ji Yi and Zhuang Yi, “I’m sorry, the two of you can’t stay here for long. Could you both please go on in?”

Ji Yi and Zhuang Yi couldn’t just leave because they didn’t get introduced, so the two of them first smiled apologetically at the lady MC. They entered the hall one after the other.
