Chapter 1812: Unlucky Heiress (80)

For example, back when she was in the orphanage, she had wished for loving parents and a life of abundance.

In the end, she really was adopted by the Tang couple. At the same time, she learned that they had only recently lost their beloved daughter before coming to adopt her.

Viewed separately, none of these events seemed unusual.

But once they were linked together, the implications became terrifying.

The first time she learned that the lucky charm needed energy, it had told her to approach people with good fortune.

She had approached Zhao Wen and Chen Xian. Their snack shop had operated smoothly for two years, but not long afterward, troublemakers appeared.

Of course, they had escaped disaster in the end, and her lucky charm had failed to gain any energy.

There was another matter.

Two years ago, during her second college entrance examination, she had wished to become the top student in the liberal arts stream, and she had succeeded.

As for the girl who should originally have become the top student that year, it seemed she had even failed to get admitted.

Thinking of this, Tang Yi hurried to investigate.

Xu Nini.

She would never forget those three characters.

And when she found out what had happened to Xu Nini, she froze on the spot.

During the first college entrance examination, Xu Nini had not failed because of poor grades.

She had been struck on the head by something that fell from above.

After recovering, Xu Nini repeated a year and took the examination again. Her results were even more outstanding, and she became the top liberal arts student.

To stay with her mother and because of the excellent conditions offered by the university, Xu Nini chose to attend this school.

But no one knew that there was another reason why she had chosen this university.

Tang Guo was here.

One coincidence after another had now been connected in Tang Yi's mind.

She could no longer deceive herself into believing that making wishes came without harming others.

Holding the lucky charm in her hands, she asked softly, “Is it true? Every time my wishes come true, someone else has to pay the price?”

Lucky Charm: There is no such thing as a free lunch. To gain something, one must inevitably lose something.

Looking at those words, Tang Yi was momentarily dazed.

Before long, another line appeared on the lucky charm:

Energy insufficient.

As if frightened, she hurriedly stuffed the lucky charm into a box, locked it away in the cabinet, and hid it.

This thing wasn't something good.

Did she really want to continue?

Not long afterward, she took the lucky charm out again and asked, “Then why did my wish to obtain Tang Kui's sincere love fail?”

Lucky Charm: Energy insufficient.

In the end, Tang Yi hid the lucky charm away once more.

At this moment, she didn't know what to do.

Did she really have to give up on Tang Kui?

Why couldn't they be together? Why did being with Tang Kui require the Tang couple to pay with their lives?

She had forgotten that it was she herself who had implied that as long as she could obtain Tang Kui's sincerity, she was willing to give up everything else.

In the end, wasn't the Tang couple's near-death entirely because of her?

For the time being, Tang Yi stopped approaching people with good fortune.

She spent her days in a daze.

She participated in Tang Technology's annual internship examination. Looking at the strange questions on the test paper, she didn't even know where to begin.

Naturally, she failed.

After the results came out, people comforted her, but she couldn't help feeling that they weren't comforting her at all.

She even felt that behind her back they must be saying things like—

An adopted daughter was still just an adopted daughter.

How could she possibly compare to the biological daughter?

After all, the real daughter had effortlessly passed the company's internship examination.
