Chapter 449: Ghost Claw, Borrowing Luck

As Zhou Manqing spoke on the matter of borrowing luck, Chi Shuyan’s eyes were fixed on her the entire time. Seeing her calmly talk about something which happened three years ago, Chi Shuyan continued to ask, “What happened three years ago, Miss Zhou? Who borrowed your luck?”

Zhou Manqing’s expression stiffened for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. She said calmly, “Three years ago, I got quite close to a ‘friend.’ She was also in this line of work. Miss Chi, you should know that our line of work is rather messy. There are all sorts of people and we have very few true friends. The other party appeared very close with me on the surface, but in reality, it was for the sake of benefits. Back then, I was younger and had too little experience. I fell for her tricks, and she borrowed my luck. During that period of time, I ran into bad luck again and again, and my career wasn’t going well either. In the beginning, I didn’t think much about it. Later on, I accidentally ran into a Master, who gave me some pointers. Only then did I discover that she was the one behind it. Although that Master later helped me to resolve this matter, the borrowed luck couldn’t be recovered, and I could only drop this matter.”

After pausing for a moment, Zhou Manqing continued, “After my luck was borrowed, it got worse and worse. From the moment I left the house, I would always be unlucky. There were a few times while filming that issues would crop up here and there. When I did wire work on period costume productions, it would be confirmed at the beginning that there were no problems with the wires. Whenever I was pulled up, however, it was common for the wire to break.”

After Zhou Manqing finished speaking, Yu Rong quickly added, “That’s right, Master Chi. Manqing is telling the truth. I can testify to it. If you don’t believe me, there are still many people who know about it.”

Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and curled her lip. “Miss Zhou’s luck was borrowed by someone, and she hasn’t revealed who it is yet. I wonder if you can tell me?”

Yu Rong was just about to speak, when Zhou Manqing interrupted her. “I’m sorry, Miss Chi. Although that friend of mine was unkind to me, I cannot be unjust. Furthermore, I don’t want to have anything to do with that person any longer.”

Yu Rong sighed. “Manqing, why are you still so soft-hearted? She even slandered you back then!”

Zhou Manqing interrupted Yu Rong’s words. “Sister Yu, that’s enough. I don’t want to talk about that woman anymore!” After saying that, Zhou Manqing looked at Chi Shuyan and said, “Miss Chi, do you have any more questions? I’ve already answered most of the questions that should be answered. I just don’t know how this topic has anything to do with me being possessed by evil.”

Chi Shuyan vaguely sensed that this ‘friend’ was the key. However, Zhou Manqing suddenly said, “Miss Chi, do you think that I’m deliberately hiding the identity of the woman who borrowed my luck? The truth is that I’m really not hiding anything. It’s just that my friend suddenly went crazy!”

Yu Rong quickly said, “It’s that woman’s retribution. She did too many shameful things!”

“Sister Yu, let’s forget about this matter. Let’s not talk about this anymore!” Zhou Manqing said.

Chi Shuyan glanced at Zhou Manqing a few times and curled her lip as she said, “I’m sorry, Miss Zhou. Although I’m not sure if this matter of borrowing luck has anything to do with you being possessed, I’m very curious about it. Your physiognomy and fate have all changed. I’ve really never seen anything like it before, so I’m just a little curious! If not for the fact that your appearance is the same as when you first debuted, I would have thought it was two different people!”

When Chi Shuyan said this, her gaze was still fixed on Zhou Manqing’s face, and she saw the woman’s expression suddenly stiffen; she was no longer as serene as before, and her originally calm gaze also held a trace of fear.

Chi Shuyan was even more certain that there was a slight problem with Zhou Manqing. No, it was a very big problem.

Chi Shuyan wanted to ask more, but Zhou Manqing was mentally exhausted, and sent her away.

Chi Shuyan didn’t stay in the hospital for long. She left a Safety Talisman behind. In any case, they paid for it. Before she left, she said, “Miss Zhou, if you can think of anything next time, you can let me know! Who knows, it might help with your run-in with evil!”
