William ignored the two kids’ reasoning because Jane was on the stage.
Jane was dressed in a big red wedding dress, flowing with colors, and a phoenix embroidered with golden threads, shining brightly at the brightly lit scene.
She looked indifferent as she walked forward. William thought that his wife really had a temperament. If it was in ancient times, she would be the queen.
Seeing her walk a few steps, William worried. Even though Jane was restraining herself, he found out that her leg was injured!
“Daddy, it’s Mommy! It’s Mommy!”
The sleepy twins rubbed their eyes, woke up, and cheered. They didn’t know why Mommy was on TV, but they were happy to see Mommy.
They did everything, but some people certainly had planned more than everything. Just now, a car suddenly lost control and crashed into Jane’s car.
Jane responded well. When she found out it was too late to jump off the car, she pushed the driver in front of her away, held the steering wheel with both hands and displayed her driving skills. However, Jessica wasn’t that good. After the car stopped, Jane was tripped over by Jessica and her ankle was injured.
Jessica blamed herself, but it was really not. No one could imagine a planned accident.
It was Jane’s turn. To not disappoint those people, Jane endured the pain and went on stage. It was not that she pretended to be cold, but it was so painful that her whole body was covered in a cold sweat and she could not laugh.
However, watching so many stiff smiles, she was attracted by the media. In an instant, all the cameras were aimed at Jane who walked down the red carpet calmly and quietly. As soon as she got to her seat, Jessica came over. They sat together. Jessica did not know how badly injured Jane was. She kept talking about the scene at that time.
People screamed at the scene, and then it became quiet. Almost everyone was convinced by the wedding dress on Jane. The bright red in their mind was even brighter than the red clouds. The phoenix on her chest looked like spreading its wings and flying.
“Ms. Jane, are you alright?”
Getting no response, Jessica sensed that something was wrong. She turned around and saw that Jane’s face was covered in sweat. Her face was abnormally pale, and her long eyelashes trembled. She looked very fragile.
“My ankle was dislocated.”
Jane wiped her sweat with a handkerchief. She couldn’t leave. The next thing was the award ceremony. No matter what, she couldn’t give anyone an opportunity. Even if she fainted from the pain, she would not leave.
“We should leave now, Ms. Jane. We should look for a doctor.”
Jessica felt very guilty. It was her. She thought it was fine if Jane did not participate in the award ceremony. In any case, according to the previous experience, the chances of a newcomer getting an award were zero.
“No. I can handle it. If I leave now, I’ll lose.”
Jane gritted her teeth. She would take those back to them. But not now.
Daisy received the news and brought over some medicine to Jane quickly.
“I didn’t hurt my bones. It’s fine, just dislocated.”
Time was pressing, they must be calm and not let those villains get what they want.
Jane wouldn’t play like this. She didn’t like playing any dirty tricks at any time.
“I can handle it.”
As the red carpet ceremony continued, Jane straightened her back. William was so distressed that he hurriedly coaxed the twins to sleep. Unfortunately, none of them could sleep. In the end, he could only take the twins out.
There was a medicine box in the car, including all kinds of medicines, hemostasis, painkillers, and anti-inflammatory drugs. He knew Jane. She just looked weak. He felt distressed, but he could not decide for her.
After almost two hours, the red carpet was coming to an end, and the jewelry award ceremony began.
Jane was distracted. With the massages from Daisy, it was not as painful as before. She silently looked at the podium. The award design was indeed good. It was quite fair.
“Next is the best design of the year, the focus of attention…”
The host opened the sealed envelope and was surprised, then relaxed again.
“Ms. Jane, we won!”
When Jessica heard the name, it took a few seconds for her to react. She simply could not believe that Jane had won the award, and it was the most valuable grand prize!
Jessica kept her distance, following behind Jane.
The two walked very slowly. They were proud and confident.
Jessica could see that Jane’s performance was not as relaxed as she said. It was clearly painful.
Before Jane went on stage, Jessica slaps herself, to make her cheeks blush.
“Ms. Jane, are you alright?”
Jessica blamed herself and worried. She was afraid that something would happen at the award ceremony. Who knew the media would write about what.
“Don’t worry.”
Jane said lightly, but powerful. At this moment, she had no choice.
The host had just received a notice to make things difficult for the newcomer. This was the usual practice, but someone promised to give him a million dollars after the matter was done. This was a big unexpected fortune, and it didn’t take much effort!
“Jane, I’m very happy to be able to stand on the world stage with you.”
The people who won the award came from all over the world, so the host knew several languages, but it did not include Chinese.
At this moment, he was speaking in French, not in English. He did it on purpose for his bonus, and he did it right. Jane did not understand what he was saying. After all, French was not that universal.
“What do you think about winning the award?”
The host talked alone for a long time. Jessica was worried so much. She could not understand a single word. If Jane didn’t understand the question, it would be awkward. But she could not help Ms. Jane!
The cameras were at them, so they were unable to communicate, even a little eye contact. Jane pinched Jessica’s hand, indicating that she should calm down.
“I am very honored to be able to stand here. As everyone knows, the value of this award is extremely high, and it has been carefully selected by the judges. It can be seen that it is also very difficult. It is precise because of this that I am happier and feel that my design has been confirmed.”
Jane answered in Chinese, making the host surprised and bewildered. The host was thinking, ‘Did she understand questions? If she did not understand, how could she answer questions? If she understood, why did she not use English?’
The host was very depressed. He could not understand Chinese, but fortunately, someone translated it in the headphones in time.
“Who do you want to thank the most?”
The host continued to probe, but it felt difficult to make things difficult.
“There are a lot of people I want to thank. The one I want to thank the most is my husband, William.”
Jane had wanted to thank her husband for a long time, but when she mentioned her husband in the domestic news, people would say that she was showing off.
Some people always could not understand the point. They cared about the gossip news about her and her husband but showed no interest in their career.
“Ms. Jane, I spoke in French was to, you know, it was one of our tradition, to make difficult to the newcomer. But it seemed like you understand?”
The host could not hold it in and finally asked. As long as Jane was successfully made a fool of herself, the million would go home with him.
Jane smiled and nodded. She understood it. But she felt lucky. If it was Arabic or Portuguese, she could only stand there dumbly.
“Then why not use English or French to answer?”
The host popped out another question. A nice shot. Most spectators and media did not speak Chinese, but she answered in Chinese. It wasn’t good for herself, and it seemed a little arrogant.
Jane smiled again. She knew it. She nodded and became serious. She answered frankly, “No matter where I am, I am Chinese. I could speak English and French, but I want to speak my native language.”
“And I only want to thank my husband. He heard it, then that’s it.” Jane continued.
The media from China below the stage were excited. They didn’t hear their mother language for so many years on the international jewelry show. Finally!
This was what they dreamed of! To be able to hear Chinese. They felt elated!
