It has been five years and just when many people thought that the grand prize was only a joke or a gimmick made by Zhang Gua, someone actually got it?

1224? Can this number be predicted?

No. Each time, it depends on Zhang Gua’s mood. He would randomly call a number.

Zhang Gua dispensed the usual lottery methods that might be fraudulent and pick a number by himself. The variables each time were very large and there was no faking it.

When someone actually won the grand prize this year, Zhang Gua was also surprised. But afterwards, he immediately said in delight, “Please come on stage little girl.”

Rong Xuan blinked while Gu Ye asked from the side, “Do you need me to accompany you?”

Rong Xuan couldn’t speak so it’s inconvenient to communicate with others. Gu Ye was afraid that she would be wronged, so he thought it might be better if he accompanied her.

Zhang Gua added a sentence from the stage at this time, “Little Girl, come up alone.”

After Rong Xuan came on stage, Zhang Gua asked her gently, “What’s your name?”

Zhang Gua handed the microphone to Rong Xuan, but before she could react, someone in the audience already answered for her.

Someone shouted loudly, “Her name is Rong Xuan! The radical of grass!”

The speaker was a new friend of Rong Yi’s, male, not too old, and likes to do things, so he couldn’t help making a noise and join in on the fun.

When Gu Ye heard this voice, he turned sideways and narrowed his eyes at the boy.

He looks ordinary and left little impression on people. However, good, he would remember his face.

During today’s charity dinner, Rong Yi had remained eerily quiet. She didn’t eat anything or say much. She had also forgotten her mother’s instructions to make more friends.

She was always distracted and spacing out.

Until Rong Xuan came on stage.

At this moment, Rong Xuan was the most beautiful girl in the whole place. Countless people’s eyes on and off the stage were focused on her, some amazed and some admiring.

In order to match her dazzling appearance, the lighting engineer deliberately left only one light on the stage. It fell on her body, illuminating her clearly.

True snow-white skin and red lips, an elegant and pure beauty.

Even a single strand of hair on her head looked like an art work.

Rong Yi’s eyes were filled with hatred down the stage.

What kind of sh*tty luck was this?!

The award that no one had been able to win for five years actually fell squarely on Rong Xuan’s lap!

Rong Yi felt jealous and resentful at the same time. And at this moment, she lost her sanity. She didn’t know where the impulse came from, just after the male voice fell, she gritted her teeth and spoke loudly, “She can’t speak! She’s a mute that can’t speak!”

When she finished her sentence, various voices immediately sounded on the scene.

There were sighs, gasps, exclamations, and all kinds of inexplicable sounds with indiscernible sentiments.

When she shouted, Rong Yi felt a great sense of relief, as if she had finally let out a breath she had been holding in for a long time. It was probably the so-called elation. But as soon as the words were spoken, Rong Yi realized what she had done.

She turned pale. She had no clue what she was thinking!

She…… she really thought so in her heart, but why did she actually say it out?!

A plastic friend next to Rong Yi exclaimed, “Isn’t she your sister? Why—”

Rong Yi hurriedly explained incoherently, “That…… It’s a fact that she can’t speak. I’m afraid she can’t answer and feel awkward so I helped explain the situation first!”

This explanation was so lame and unconvincing that the gazes of Rong Yi’s newly made plastic friends clearly changed and their attitudes also became detached. When Rong Yi spoke just now, she said that her biological sister was mute with a hint of gnashing of teeth, her words hurtful.

Even if there’s a little conflict between the sisters— no— Rong Yi and her sister obviously didn’t seem to have a small conflict. But no matter how big it was and she wants to flare up, she also have to look at the situation. On this occasion, in front of so many people, what does it mean to expose your own sister’s shortcoming? Even if they’re only half-sisters, they’re still biologically related, weren’t they?

Besides, even if the sisters were at odds, don’t use such a stupid method.

Wasn’t this hurting the enemy a thousand times while hurting oneself eight hundred times?

Rong Yi was instantly labeled as ‘stupid’, ‘low EQ’ and ‘low IQ’ in everyone’s minds.

Rong Yi was so anxious that she wanted to explain more, but the others obviously didn’t want to listen to her anymore. They were all staring at the stage, not even bothering to look at Rong Yi.

Rong Yi was so aggrieved that she was on the verge of crying.

How did things developed like this?

Didn’t she want to be the brightest person in the room? How come she became the one despised right now?

Ji Ning looked at Rong Yi in frustration, but things had already come to this point, so what else could she do?

She could only fix everything later.

On the stage, Zhang Gua was stunned for a moment after hearing Rong Yi’s words. “Little Girl…… you can’t speak?”

Rong Xuan hesitated for a moment before slowly writing on her hand, ‘For, the, time, being, I, can’t’. Actually, she had been working hard on her vocalization in private and she had made some progress in the past few days. She could already speak a few words slowly. It’s just that it’s been a long time since she’d spoken so her voice was hoarse and sounded awful. But things have been moving in a good direction.

She believed that in a while, she would be able to speak fully.

Zhang Gua stared at Rong Xuan’s hand and carefully thought about what she had written in his mind several times before he understood what she was saying.

It wasn’t clear why she said it’s only for the time being, but the matter could wait until later. Now was clearly not a good time to talk about it.

Zhang Gua said while facing all the guests in the audience, “First of all, congratulations to this little girl for winning the grand prize. I know everyone has been curious as to what it is, and now, I can finally announce it.”

Zhang Gua intentionally paused.

The audience burst into applause and cheers.

Zhang Gua smiled, and after the applause from the audience passed, he slowly said, “I’m getting older. In fact, as early as five years ago, I wanted to find a successor to run my future charity dinners. Speaking of which, I’ve never had any children in my life, no adopted ones, and certainly no grandchildren. That’s why I thought of finding someone who is destined.”

It was only after Zhang Gua said these words that Rong Xuan was sure that her previous guess wasn’t wrong.

She was curious how the female protagonists succeeded Zhang Gua and became the organizer of the dinner party, ending up achieving both fame and fortune.

This should be it. It was purely through luck that she got such an opportunity that everyone was eyeing.

But in the novel, the one who took over from Zhang Gua was obviously the female protagonist, so how did it become her?

Rong Xuan had read a lot of novels so she knew the term butterfly effect. However, she didn’t expect that it could be so powerful.

As long as there’s a slight deviation from the original plot, the subsequent development would be completely different.

As soon as Zhang Gua said this, the audience gasped aloud.

A lot of people did not expect such a development.

This super grand prize was indeed a super grand prize! Why? Although the specific prize couldn’t be seen, its benefits were actually real.

Although Zhang Gua was old, he’s still very strong. He said that he would hand over the position of organizer to a destined person, which would be equivalent to handing over part of his network to said person. Even if the person has average abilities, he would definitely support, assist, and help him/her to successfully hold this meaningful and valuable charity dinner.

This was no longer a pie falling from the sky, but ‘countless’ pies falling from the sky.

With so many pies, an average person would probably be knocked unconscious.

But the question arises. The destined person was a mute and wouldn’t be able to communicate with others easily. Can she really be qualified for the position? No matter how one look at it, it didn’t seem plausible.

Zhang Gua might also know what some people were thinking. He explained, “I’ve been waiting for five years to find a fated person. I believe this is heavens will. This little girl doesn’t look very old, but age doesn’t really matter.”

In any case, this was the opinion of Zhang Gua, the organizer, and no one else could influence him. If he thinks Rong Xuan could do it, then that’s fine.

Even if some people have ideas in their minds, it was of no use.

It could be said that Rong Xuan was the biggest winner of the night.

Even if there were well-known entrepreneurs who have spent a lot of money and made great contributions tonight, no one would be able to compete with Rong Xuan for glory.

Tonight, Rong Xuan truly attracted all attention.

Everyone was asking information about her.

How old was she or which family was she from? Such luck was really excellent.

Rich people were mostly superstitious. They all believe that luck was an important part of life.

In fact, the probability of being chosen by Zhang Gua was almost the same as winning the lottery.

And what Rong Xuan could get was far more tangible than money.

After the event, Zhang Gua still had a lot of things to do. There’s still a year before the next charity dinner, so he was not in a hurry. He and Rong Xuan exchanged contact information, and then he went to get busy first.

To understand her situation, there would be plenty of time after the winter vacation in a few days.

———

After getting in the car, Gu Ye’s tongue slowly swept across the roof of his mouth, and his eyes fell squarely on Rong Xuan beside him.

Today, when the bright lights on the stage were shining only on Rong Xuan and the background music was playing only for her, he felt his heart stopped beating for a moment.

The feeling that the entire world had dimmed and only she was like a beam of light, illuminating everything, was so strong that he couldn’t calm down for a moment.

It turned out that there were really people in this world who could attract people’s full attention by just simply standing still.

Gu Ye slightly pressed closer to Rong Xuan and chuckled softly, “Little Bride, did you have a good time?”

Rong Xuan tilted her head and thought about it carefully. She was actually quite happy.

Tonight’s experience was so special, as there were many firsts in her life.

Seeing Rong Xuan nodding, Gu Ye paused for a moment and slowly said, “I’m also very happy tonight.”

For the first time in his eighteen years of life, he felt his heart beating violently, a sensation that was both novel and exciting.

So this was how it feels like to have ones heart beat insanely fast for someone.

It’s really…… quite interesting.
