Capítulo 696: Chapter 696: There Is Always a Worse Villain; Disfigured in Tragedy
Ethan sensed from Tang Li’s words that Lai Shengxia was probably afraid he would tell the truth to Tang Li, so after the truth came out, she didn’t want Tang Li to contact him anymore. Once he was dealt with by the people she found, she could continue being good sisters with Tang Li.
For Ethan, it was his first time encountering such a malicious woman.
For a moment, Ethan’s facial expressions changed rapidly.
Suddenly, Tang Li’s cellphone rang.
She glanced at the screen and then looked at Ethan: “It’s a call from my elder sister, Ethan, I have to go. Take care of yourself.”
After speaking, Tang Li answered the call and walked outside: “Yes, I’ll be home soon, you told me not to associate with him, and I definitely won’t…”
As the apartment door closed, Tang Li’s voice was also cut off.
Ethan swung his cane and smashed it onto the ground.
His eyes reddened, and from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the fruit knife next to the bag of apples.
After Tang Li entered the elevator, she turned off the alarm setting on her cellphone, looked at her reflection on the elevator wall, her expression calm, no trace of the previous delicacy and difficulty.
University exams are unlike middle and elementary schools; only specific foundation courses are arranged for unified exams.
The next day early in the morning, Tang Li finished an exam, and Feng Qi came to the school to take her to the production company for “The Brightest Star.”
Today they were going to the company to shoot the character’s costume posters.
After getting into the car, the first thing Feng Qi told her was that she could no longer live at the school next semester.
As a public figure, with increasing fame, her privacy would also come under scrutiny.
Lately, Tang Li hasn’t released any works and isn’t a top-tier artist, so the paparazzi are too lazy to chase her, but once her new drama starts airing, the situation will be very different.
Tang Li nodded: “After the final exams, I will move my stuff to Huafu No.1.”
Upon arriving at the production company, Tang Li met Guan Xiao.
As a weekly drama, the cast of “The Brightest Star” was not very strong; apart from Guan Xiao, the TV King, the lead actress was not a popular Xiao Hua, and other young actors were also newcomers in the industry. Feng Qi chose this drama for Tang Li not only because of its innovative subject but also because of the production team’s solid foundation, ensuring it wouldn’t turn out to be a bad film.
Unlike previous dramas that focused on the male lead’s struggles, “The Brightest Star” tells the story of a girl named Jing Xiu with mild symptoms of autism, who became the country’s first female professional esports player, reached the pinnacle, and was healed.
The male lead played by Guan Xiao was the team coach, also the closest to a perfect ADC during the peak period of esports history, and had to retire due to an injury, having a subtle romantic subplot with the female lead in the drama.
Just after Tang Li finished her makeup photoshoot, Feng Qi came over with his cellphone, showing her a news article from a local forum.
[A female employee of Tianyi was attacked in the parking lot and has been rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, her life and death unknown.]
The news was posted at around 11 AM.
Tang Li scrolled down the screen, the identity of the victim was revealed, not just any female employee, but the elder daughter of the chairman of Tianyi.
The perpetrator was a foreign national and had been detained by the police.
By two or three in the afternoon, Lai Shengxia being stabbed became a hot topic online.
She is the sister of Lai Yuaner and a well-known socialite; naturally, the media rushed to report her incident.
An insider revealed that Lai Shengxia was stabbed multiple times and had her face severely disfigured.
Soon after, an official media outlet posted a scene photo.
Lai Shengxia was lying on a stretcher, her waist soaked red with blood, even though medical staff were blocking, her head and face smeared with blood were faintly visible.
