"I heard that Li Shuyao, the star tonight, will still take the stage," Zhang Shuwan said.
Li Shuyao will take the stage, huh, isn’t she afraid...
Thinking of that trafficker, Gu Jia Ning’s eyes darkened.
It’s just a pity that she’s used up her skill to flash forward to future scenes three tis. Otherwise, she could use it later to perhaps see sothing from Li Shuyao.
There are other similar items in the mall, but their functionalities are permanent and very expensive, costing 1200 points.
She simply doesn’t have enough points.
As everyone settled in their seats, the host quickly ca on stage, and the performance was about to begin.
Gu Jia Ning didn’t expect that the first person to co on stage was actually Li Shuyao.
This person really isn’t saving herself for the finale.
But...
As soon as Li Shuyao stepped onto the stage, the Malice Value Alarm Device started ringing with a 99% malice value.
Li Shuyao’s malicious person was naturally her.
Gu Jia Ning looked up and happened to et Li Shuyao’s gaze.
Gu Jia Ning’s lips curved into a faint smile.
Li Shuyao knew Sheng Zexi was on a mission but didn’t expect Gu Jia Ning to co, and moreover, to sit in a sowhat front position where she could see her the mont she looked up.
Seeing Gu Jia Ning, and especially that ambiguous smile hanging at the corner of her mouth, Li Shuyao had a foreboding feeling.
She couldn’t help but recall New Year’s Eve, when she perford in the finale, and ended up looking like a clown.
During this period, because of that incident, she didn’t dare to leave the dormitory.
She had been diligently practicing dance, hoping to put on a good show for the Lantern Festival.
This ti, she chose the opening dance.
Originally, she was confident, but now, after seeing Gu Jia Ning, a bad premonition arose in her heart for so reason.
Will it be like that New Year’s Eve incident again?
At this mont, behind the curtain, people from the arts troupe were sneaking peeks at Li Shuyao dancing on stage, with rather unpleasant expressions.
"This Li Shuyao, how co she gets to call the shots on whether she takes the finale or the opening dance? Is this arts troupe run by her family?"
"Hmph, what can we do? She’s backed by the Li Family. Didn’t you see even our leader has to follow her whims? Whatever she says goes."
"She perford like that on New Year’s Eve, what right does she have? Isn’t she afraid of ssing up the opening dance like last ti?"
Just as the young girl finished speaking, there was a loud bang from the stage, and they all imdiately looked over.
The protagonist they were just discussing, Li Shuyao, had indeed fallen.
"No way, my mouth is that prophetic, and she really fell!"
Yes, on stage, Li Shuyao, who had been dancing gracefully, truly fell.
At this mont, Li Shuyao’s face, lying on the ground, looked like it was ashen as liver.
She fell, she really fell.
Just like that fall on New Year’s Eve, Li Shuyao had a strong sensation she was targeted by so unknown entity again, and that entity was out to make her a laughingstock!
She knew it; whenever she encountered Gu Jia Ning, things wouldn’t bode well.
Although Li Shuyao had no evidence, her instincts told her that encountering Gu Jia Ning ant bad luck.
In fact, Li Shuyao’s instincts weren’t wrong; her fall this ti was indeed due to Gu Jia Ning.
Although there was no evidence directly linking Li Shuyao to the trafficker incident, Gu Jia Ning was ninety-nine percent sure Li Shuyao was the mastermind.
Under such circumstances, she definitely planned to settle the score.
Since Li Shuyao loved dancing on stage to captivate the audience, then she’d set the clown halo from last ti on her again.
Sadly, this clown halo couldn’t be used permanently, otherwise, she could use it to make Li Shuyao never dare set foot on stage for the rest of her life.
However, Gu Jia Ning felt that wasn’t enough.
After all, Li Shuyao was going to return to Beijing, and distance would make things harder.
So, Gu Jia Ning spent another 10 points to set a six-month "bad luck" halo on Li Shuyao.
Bad individuals should indeed face misfortunes, rendering their plans unsuccessful, only then would it be fair.
Thus, on stage, Li Shuyao, who anticipated being targeted by sothing, didn’t want history to repeat itself like last ti.
She didn’t wish to tempt fate anymore, struggling to rise, she planned to leave the stage.
She thought this might help her avoid disgrace, but unexpectedly, as she was halfway up, her left foot tripped her right, causing her entire self to lurch forward.
This ti, owing to the "bad luck halo," as she lurched forward, everyone heard a crisp snapping sound - a bone fracturing.
At once, Li Shuyao’s shrill cry echoed from the stage.
Yes, Li Shuyao broke a bone.
"Oh my God, Shuyao..."
Backstage, the arts troupe’s leader, along with others, rushed forward to surround Li Shuyao and then carried her away. They apologized to the audience and quickly arranged for soone else to take the stage.
The arts troupe leader was pondering what was wrong with Li Shuyao. Over and again, she had sabotaged the stage, yet demanded finale or opening acts. The previous incident had already tarnished the troupe’s reputation, and now once more...
Previously, when Li Shuyao hadn’t erred, her performances were superb, and she could defend her for Mr. Li’s sake. However, with Li Shuyao’s current debacle, continuing to shield her would likely upset others in the troupe, perhaps even lead to a complaint against her.
Although Mr. Li couldn’t be offended, losing her position as the arts troupe leader was not an option either.
Li Shuyao’s incident was like an interlude, soon replaced by other perforrs on stage.
The atmosphere in the auditorium gradually turned joyful and harmonious.
Zhang Shuwan snuck over to whisper to Gu Jia Ning, "Geez, this star is too unlucky. She fell last ti, and now again. Such misfortune."
Gu Jia Ning nodded, responding calmly, "Indeed unlucky."
With the two halos she set on Li Shuyao, it’s hard for Li Shuyao not to be unlucky. Moreover, the misfortune won’t end now; it’ll persist for six months.
Furthermore, she hadn’t forgotten this bad luck halo had a note—benevolent persons aren’t affected, but the malevolent suffer greater misfortune the eviler they are.
Just look at Li Shuyao; after placing the "bad luck halo," her imdiate fracture implied she wasn’t a good person.
Recalling that Li Shuyao might be burdened with innocent lives, Gu Jia Ning thought: Perhaps Li Shuyao’s misfortune won’t stop here either.
Indeed, as the fact stood, after being carried on a stretcher to the hospital, one of the soldiers carrying her accidentally tripped, instinctively letting go of the stretcher.
Thus, Li Shuyao, caught off guard, lurched forward, inadvertently using her hand for support, resulting in another crack.
In succession, Li Shuyao let out another cry. Yes, following her foot, her hand was fractured too.
