Chapter 7: No Regrets

The lights at the top of the stage went out.

The other places were lit, the stage could be seen.

But the people on the stage couldn’t see their feet.

Zhu Miaomiao frowned, her face was filled with confusion, she didn’t remember this part.

Zhu Miaomiao, standing on the stage, didn’t move for a long time, and there were already whispers from the audience.

She took a deep breath, telling herself not to drop the ball at a crucial moment, her eyes immediately became firm.

Zhu Miaomiao raised her slender arms, her soft waist, accompanied by the music, she moved gracefully and slowly.

Dunhuang dance.

This kind of dance, without Dunhuang costumes, would feel less.

But –

Zhu Miaomiao’s dance moves didn’t seem out of place.

Unexpectedly, it matched.

Her otherworldly temperament, her hair flying in the wind, like a delicate moon, attracted everyone’s attention.

Zhu Miaomiao’s beauty and figure were a great visual shock to people.

But –

When Zhu Miaomiao danced to the next beat, she noticed something was wrong.

A sharp piece of glass, pierced into the bottom of her shoe, like a scorpion drilling into the bottom of her foot, it hurt so much that sweat broke out on her forehead.

Dunhuang dance is not like street dance, expression management is very important, she can’t show pain on her face, she has to smile all the time.

Blood began to seep out from the bottom of her foot.

No one noticed.

The stage was already set, she couldn’t stop this performance.

The glass shards were deliberately placed there by someone, if she stopped, if she shouted, it would play right into that person’s hands.

Maybe, she would be thrown out in a humiliating way, making a fool of herself.

So, she wouldn’t give up easily.

She wouldn’t let the other party get away with it easily.

The girl’s face was already pale.

Her expression still had a smile, beautiful like a painting, dazzling and bright.

Everyone thought, finally, there was a show worth watching tonight.

Duan Siyu swirled the wine in his clear glass, quietly watching the girl on stage, his eyes narrowed slightly.

“What’s going on? Did they really put glass shards on the stage!”

Suddenly, the voice of the spoiled young lady appeared.

“She’s been spoiled since she was a child, even when she does something wrong, she doesn’t know how to keep it quiet and hide it.”

“Or maybe Huo Yuan doesn’t take Zhu Miaomiao seriously.”

“She doesn’t think it’s worth being sneaky.”

The club waiter whispered, “It’s full of… let alone she can’t see the road under her feet, even if she could see, she couldn’t have avoided stepping on the glass, it shouldn’t be like this.”

Huo Yuan gritted her teeth, she wanted to make Zhu Miaomiao look bad, but she didn’t!

The music stopped.

Zhu Miaomiao, surprisingly, completed the dance perfectly, without a single mistake.

She attracted everyone’s attention.

The stage lights came back on.

The applause was thunderous.

But after a while, someone noticed something was wrong.

There were many pieces of glass reflecting light on the stage, it was dazzling, and every piece of glass showed bright red blood.

“What’s going on?”

“Why are there so many glasses on the stage?”

“So much blood, that little girl lost so much blood…”

What’s going on?

Huo Chen, who had watched the whole dance, came back to his senses, he was as smart as he was, he immediately noticed something was wrong, he glanced in the direction of his sister.

Huo Yuan’s expression seemed to be a little happy.

Huo Yuan thought, although Zhu Miaomiao didn’t make a fool of herself in public as she had planned, but she was injured, so it wasn’t a loss.

Those glasses were sharper than blades, they pierced into the bottom of her feet, they wouldn’t kill her!

——

After the performance, Zhu Miaomiao bowed deeply to everyone, then walked off the stage.

But when she went down the stairs, she couldn’t hold on, she stumbled.

Not only did it hurt, but her strength also felt like it was drained, a feeling of weightlessness came over her, her knees almost touched the ground.

Fortunately, her arms were supported by two steady and strong hands.

The smell of male hormones and the not unpleasant smell of cigarettes lingered in her nose.

Zhu Miaomiao raised her eyes, she saw who it was, she fell into his arms softly, without any defense.

“Mr. Duan,” she said weakly, “How was my dance, are you satisfied?”

Duan Siyu lowered his eyelashes, the girl was soft and fragrant, her skin was smooth, it made him feel restless.

He asked, “Why are you always so miserable every time I see you?”

Hearing this, Zhu Miaomiao stepped out of his embrace, she gave a wry smile, turned around, and wanted to leave.

But the next second, her feet were off the ground.

She was picked up by the man.

Zhu Miaomiao was startled, she instinctively hugged his neck.

She stared at his cold and flamboyant features, pretending to be shy.

–

Huo Chen had people clean up the stage, leaving no evidence.

“Brother.” Huo Yuan saw Duan Siyu carrying Zhu Miaomiao away, “That Zhu Miaomiao is not a person! She’s a demon! She’s going to steal Brother Siyu’s soul.”

Huo Chen took off his glasses and wiped them gently with a cloth, “This is the Huo Group’s annual gala, you have to choose the right place to teach someone a lesson, Zhu Miaomiao was invited by the company to perform, if something really happened, it would affect the stock price.”

Huo Yuan choked, she whispered, “I know, I just can’t stand her.”

Then she shrugged, looking indifferent, “Besides, even if she’s crippled tonight, what does it matter? Just do some public relations to suppress it, right?”

“She’s so stupid, she knew there was glass under her feet and she still kept dancing.”

Stupid?

Huo Chen thought she was smarter than anyone else.

Not only that, she was also cruel to herself.

She used her beauty, vulnerability, and methods, she targeted all resources, and tried to cross classes.

But –

She’s smart, but she chose the wrong ladder.

Who is Duan Siyu?

She wants to play with him, she thinks too highly of herself.

–

The VIP room on the top floor of the club.

Zhu Miaomiao took off her shoes, under her white and tender jade feet –

Blood seeped through, it didn’t lose its beauty, it actually had a different kind of charm.

Duan Siyu sat beside her, lit a cigarette.

He didn’t know what brand he was smoking.

It was surprisingly pleasant.

“There’s no medical kit here for you.” Duan Siyu said casually.

Zhu Miaomiao hummed, she tore off the hem of her skirt in front of the man.

The floral long skirt instantly became shorter.

She used this rough fabric to bandage her legs.

Duan Siyu lazily nestled on the sofa, he squinted and looked at her.

The girl’s neck was long and slender, it was dazzlingly white, even though her face was bloodless, she was still beautiful, it made people feel sorry for her.

Actually, she could completely rely on her face to make money.

She didn’t need to go to the Huo family.

The Huo family is a big family, the internal structure of the family is not as simple as she thought.

“The glass on the stage was placed there by Huo Yuan.” Duan Siyu said lazily.

“I know.” Zhu Miaomiao curled her lips, her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, “So, Mr. Duan, will you help me?”

“Help you?” Duan Siyu narrowed his eyes, like a businessman negotiating, “What’s the benefit?”

Zhu Miaomiao looked at him, her lively deer eyes were sparkling, “I know myself, you have no reason to fall out with the Huo family for me.”

“I know I can’t fight the Huo family’s daughter, let alone now I’m just injured, even if I died in her hands, she wouldn’t lose a piece of meat, but fortunately, I’ve learned a lesson growing up.”

“Oh? What lesson?”

“No regrets.”

No regrets?

Duan Siyu flicked the ash off his cigarette, he chuckled lightly, his voice was mellow and magnetic, “What do you mean?”
