The entire ceremony lasted about two hours.
For most of that time, Jiang Qingli stood ramrod straight, her gaze fixed forward.
Because if she looked to her left, Qin Muye was watching her like a hawk, terrified she'd be snatched away.
And to her right, she would meet Qin Yu's fake, overly-friendly smile, who looked like she couldn't wait to whisk her away.
Jiang Qingli: "..."
When it was finally over, Jiang Qingli walked off the stage, took out her terminal, and snapped a few pictures from a good angle. She sent them to Jiang Yi, followed by a "waiting" sticker, anticipating her mother's praise.
The official photos from today's award ceremony had already been posted on the Empire's official website. Jiang Qingli knew that no matter how busy Jiang Yi was, she would definitely make time to see them.
Sure enough, a moment later, a message arrived from Jiang Yi: [Are you free to talk with Mom?]
Of course she was.
