BXBX NOVEL Chapter 188 - 189: Something Happened
Gu Zhaohan suddenly looked up and asked, “Did Xia Yangyang complain to you that I can’t stand her?”
Gu Qichen replied, “She didn’t say anything. Your actions are too obvious.”
His distaste for Xia Yangyang was evident the whole night.
He even stooped to the level of taking her food, something childish.
According to Gu Qichen’s understanding of Gu Zhaohan, he has never liked or disliked anyone from his childhood.
This was the first time he had so strongly disliked someone.
Gu Zhaohan coldly asked, “Uncle, I don’t understand why it’s her. Haven’t you always liked Shen Manbing? Xia Yangyang cannot compare to Shen Manbing in any way. Why did you marry her?”
Gu Qichen replied, “Because she moved my heart, Xiao Han. If you ever meet a girl and feel a jolt of electricity at first sight, maybe even a racing heart, or trembling, then that girl is your soulmate. That’s an advice from your uncle.”
Gu Zhaohan’s eyes dimmed, “So, you truly like her, don’t you?”
Gu Qichen responded, “Yes, I love her.”
Gu Zhaohan lowered his gaze, his emotions concealed, “I understand now, Uncle.”
Gu Qichen patted Gu Zhaohan’s shoulder, “Even if you don’t like her, you shouldn’t be too hard on her, understood?”
Gu Zhaohan just murmured a low acknowledgment.
The following day.
After having breakfast, Gu Qichen took Xia Yangyang to school.
Gu Zhaohan didn’t ride in the same car as they did. He got up very early and didn’t even have breakfast with them.
The rehearsal carried on at a steady pace, and it seemed to be going smoothly.
It’s just that Kim Fei’er kept coming over to cause trouble.
Xia Yangyang didn’t care about the usual fussing and fighting.
Until the day before the public selection.
During Xia Yangyang’s final rehearsal in the evening.
As soon as she entered Dongli Hall, everyone gathered around and said, “Yangyang, there’s a problem.”
Xia Yangyang asked, “What’s wrong?”
Wen Xiaochu said, “The props and costumes have been tampered with.”
Xia Yangyang went to the backstage to check.
All the props and costumes were splashed with paint.
Xia Yangyang asked, “What exactly happened?”
Wen Xiaochu said, “Who else could it be but Kim Fei’er? She has sabotaged our props and costumes. Tomorrow is the selection day; this move of hers is cruel.”
Li Jiashu said, “She has the advantage of time, place, and people. She is quite confident about tomorrow’s selection, so why would she do such a despicable thing?”
Wen Xiaochu in anger, “So she could be a hundred percent sure.”
Xia Yangyang’s brows furrowed.
The other members were like ants on a hot pan, “What should we do, Yangyang? Without props and costumes, how can we perform the play? The theatrical costumes were borrowed from other schools because of the PK, there was only one set. And now it’s ruined.”
Wen Xiaochu said, “I’m going to confront them.”
Xia Yangyang grabbed Wen Xiaochu’s hand, “When were the clothes ruined?”
Wen Xiaochu said, “Everything was fine after our rehearsal last night. But when we came early this morning, we found it in this state. It must have been Kim Fei’er who sent someone to do this last night.”
Xia Yangyang asked, “Do we have any evidence?”
“Do we still need evidence? Who else could it be but her?”
Xia Yangyang said, “We have no evidence. If we confront her rashly, she will not admit to it; better still, she may turn the tables and say we are slandering her because we don’t think we can win. After all, as Jiashu just said, they have a ninety percent chance of winning the performance tomorrow. In the eyes of the outsiders, it’s really not worth it.”
Wen Xiaochu frowned, “What should we do now? We can’t just let it go.. Plus we don’t have props and clothes, what are we going to do tomorrow? Do we just give up?”
