Chapter 127 Little Fans
The villa was a bit far from the award ceremony venue, and there was some traffic today, so when Mu Xiaoyu arrived it was almost 10 o'clock. By then, most of the other people who came to attend the award ceremony had already arrived.
The club president had called Mu Xiaoyu several times on the way to urge her to come. Now that he saw Mu Xiaoyu coming, he quickly pulled her in front of the other contestants and introduced them: "These two are the runner-up and third place winners of this competition. They are both fans of your book. They specifically asked me to let you meet and take a group photo in private today. We still have a little time. You can talk to them first. I'll go check things out up front."
There were quite a few media outlets present today, and the editor-in-chief was so busy he barely had time to breathe. After saying that, he disappeared without giving Mu Xiaoyu a chance to reply.
Fortunately, Mu Xiaoyu was used to big events, and although the situation was somewhat sudden, she was able to handle it calmly. She smiled at the two little girls in front of her, extended her hand to them, and said softly, "Nice to meet you. I am Mu Xiaoyu, the author of 'Door Sounds.' I'm so glad you like my comics."
The two girls in front of her looked to be in their early twenties at most, with pretty and delicate features, and they also looked quite young. Mu Xiaoyu was several years older than them, but when she faced them, she didn't put any pressure on them or act superior. She was like a friendly older sister next door, which made it easy for people to feel good about her.
"Hello... I... I'm called Bai Luo, and I'm a longtime fan of yours!"
The first person to shake hands with Mu Xiaoyu was a girl named Bai Luo. She seemed to be a long-time fan of Mu Xiaoyu. Her hand was trembling as she shook hands with Mu Xiaoyu, and her eyes were shining brightly when she looked at Mu Xiaoyu. Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel happy.
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but gently pat Bai Luo's head twice, and said with a smile, "Don't be so nervous, I'm not going to eat you. If you're my book fans, then... how about I treat you to dinner after the awards ceremony? You can eat whatever you want, it's on me."
"Really?"
Bai Luo seemed incredulous, her eyes widening in surprise. If there weren't other people present, she probably would have jumped up with joy.
Although she had just met Bai Luo, Mu Xiaoyu liked him a lot and couldn't help but want to get closer to him. Hearing this, she nodded, winked at Bai Luo, and said, "But this has to be kept a secret; only the three of us can know, okay?"
Bai Luo nodded eagerly upon hearing this, her suppressed excitement making her look incredibly adorable.
The other girl was also a fan of Mu Xiaoyu, but she was much quieter than Bai Luo. Even when she heard that Mu Xiaoyu was going to treat them to a meal, she looked very calm.
The awards ceremony began quickly. Besides some major mainstream media outlets, some lucky book fans were also present. Looking around, the vast space was packed with people, even larger than Mu Xiaoyu had anticipated.
Worried that Bai Luo and the others might be nervous in such a situation due to their young age, Mu Xiaoyu held Bai Luo's hand and whispered before they went on stage, "Don't be nervous later, I'm here with you."
To avoid putting pressure on Bai Luo, Mu Xiaoyu didn't look at Bai Luo when she said this. Therefore, she didn't know that Bai Luo showed no sign of nervousness at all; in fact, she displayed a composure beyond her years, even in such a significant situation. She only showed slight surprise upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's reassuring words.
However, her surprise was fleeting, and when she looked at Mu Xiaoyu again, the affection in her eyes was even stronger than before.
Before today's awards ceremony, the president and others had explained the process to Mu Xiaoyu, and even though it was Mu Xiaoyu's first time participating in such an event, it went very smoothly. The initial part included the awards ceremony, sharing her thoughts, giving media interviews, and then interacting with book fans.
The first few went smoothly until the very end, when suddenly the main door burst open. A few dozen thugs rushed in and began smashing everything in the hall.
As they smashed things, they shouted, "Where's Mu Xiaoyu! Where is that bitch Mu Xiaoyu?!"
In an instant, the hall was in complete chaos.
"Who are you! What do you want? Where are the security guards! Where are the security guards?!"
The event was organized by the magazine, and representatives from other sponsors were also present. They didn't know what was going on, but judging from the situation, they knew these people were there for Mu Xiaoyu!
A perfectly good awards ceremony has been ruined; anyone would be angry. The president yelled at the thugs, then went to find his bodyguards.
However, the thugs were clearly prepared. Seeing that the club president seemed to be the main person in charge, they immediately blocked his way.
From the moment those thugs entered, Mu Xiaoyu pulled Bai Luo and the others to hide in a corner. Upon seeing this, she immediately called the bodyguards that Li Chenxu had arranged for her.
At the same time, he said to Bai Luo, who had been silent beside him, "Bai Luo, do me a favor now. Take a phone and record everything that happened today on video."
Many people dislike Mu Xiaoyu, and right now, besides Xu Sulin, Mu Xiaoyu can't think of anyone else with the strongest motive to harm her. However, whether or not it was Xu Sulin who made the move is no longer important to Mu Xiaoyu.
What she needs to do now is to collect as much evidence as possible and protect the innocent book fans in the hall from harm.
Bai Luo was stunned by Mu Xiaoyu's words. Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu was about to walk towards the thugs, she quickly grabbed Mu Xiaoyu's hand and said anxiously, "Sister Xiaoyu, what are you doing? It's dangerous over there!"
They had no idea what those thugs wanted to do. If it was just ordinary vandalism, they could just smash things up and that would be fine. But what if they tried to harm Mu Xiaoyu? What if Mu Xiaoyu got hurt?
Seeing that Bai Luo genuinely cared about her, Mu Xiaoyu felt a warmth in her heart. As if to soothe Bai Luo's emotions, Mu Xiaoyu gently patted the back of Bai Luo's hand and said softly, "Those people won't do anything to me. If they wanted to harm me, they wouldn't do it in such a high-profile way. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
