In that moment, the internet couldn't help but let their imagination run wild — could it be that Professor Qiao would suddenly show up in person? Surely not just to slap them in the face?
Ha! No way, right?
Professor Brute noticed that Qiao Yun was indeed speechless for a second. He cleared his throat to ease the awkwardness and voiced the curiosity of countless netizens: "I trust everyone is curious about why you've chosen to accept the award in person. As far as I know, this is your first public appearance, isn't it? Could you share with us — why did you attend this conference?"
Without much thought, Qiao Yun turned her clear black-and-white eyes toward the camera and spoke in a serious tone, word by word: "I don't need to live off anyone."

"..."
Qiao Yun paused briefly, then added, "I'm very rich."
As soon as Qiao Yun finished speaking, a faint chuckle seemed to come from beside her. But perhaps her words were so unconventional that no one paid attention to it.
