Chapter 240: Chapter 244 A Good Play Chapter 240: Chapter 244 A Good Play “Ha ha ha… Let’s go together then, Liu Yilan!”
The little stove five-person group expanded to a six-person team.
The compound wasn’t far from the General Union, only a half-hour walk. Everyone was in good physical shape, so after leaving the General Union, they headed straight for the compound.
Walking along the road, Liu Yilan and Sheng Ning lagged a bit behind, walking shoulder to shoulder.
“You were also selected, weren’t you?” Liu Yilan asked.
“Yeah,” Sheng Ning, preoccupied and not in high spirits, replied. “You were selected too, right? With your singing, no one could be better than you.”
In the past life, Liu Yilan and Yang Xiaoman were the lead singers.
“You know?” Liu Yilan said earnestly, “I really like your attitude of speaking the truth and being straightforward.”
Sheng Ning rolled her eyes. Why were Chen Huaying and Liu Yilan all different from how they were described in the legends of her past life?
What happened to the promised aloofness, the wildness, the fiery nature?
Was she not approaching them correctly?
“Are you in a bad mood?” Liu Yilan asked.
“Not at all!” Sheng Ning stubbornly denied it, having developed a habit in this lifetime of keeping her thoughts to herself since she had been duped by Qin Cuifen in her past life.
“Stubborn as a dead duck. Are you going to let Qin Cuifen off that easily?”
“What else can I do?” Sheng Ning retorted. She had Su Yun and Su Hai as her backup—how could she twist the arm of a giant?
“Useless! She’s been ruining your reputation everywhere, and on stage, she caused you to fall and break your leg. You nearly lost the ability to dance for life, and you can endure all that?” Liu Yilan, frustrated and clenching her teeth, said, “Before, we weren’t friends, and I could enjoy it as a dramatic show. But now that we are friends, we naturally can’t let her off easy.”
Originally, if Qin Cuifen had decided to back off, Liu Yilan wouldn’t have meddled. However, today she heard the news—Qin Cuifen had played the martyr for sympathy, not only receiving Yang Wenying’s forgiveness but also getting selected for Hope Field.
Although she came from the countryside, her tactics were anything but simple.
“Don’t do anything rash; making a scene won’t be good,” Sheng Ning warned. In her past life, she too had cried and made a fuss, only to end up in such a predicament. This life, she wanted to stay calmer.
“Don’t worry, it won’t be a scene. We’re just going to help you get your bracelet back. It’s only silver, but it’s worth some money,” Liu Yilan said, smiling mysteriously. “Just wait and see! There’s going to be a good show tonight.”
“You guys aren’t planning on doing something behind my back, are you?” Sheng Ning suddenly had a bad feeling. “I’m telling you, don’t do anything foolish.”
“Don’t worry, we won’t do anything foolish.”
Ahead, the others had been waiting for a long time and still didn’t see the two catch up. Lu Dabao, quick on his feet, ran back like the wind and called out loudly, “Hurry up, what are you dragging your feet for? Sheng Ning, are you trying to dodge community service?”
The two quickly caught up.
The compound was a tranquil place amidst the hustle, with wide asphalt roads lined by tall French plane trees. In winter, the trees were bare, but their thick branches conveyed a simple and ancient sense of vicissitude.
Following the plane tree boulevard inward led to a grand entrance, with guards posted around the clock.
Especially dignified and majestic, in no way inferior to the General Union.
Wu Youli was timid and unconsciously hid behind Chen Huaying from a distance. “Your family lives here?” It looked quite intimidating.
“Yeah,” Chen Huaying responded indifferently, her demeanor indeed as casual as if she were returning to her own home. She greeted the standing guards.
The guards recognized her too and returned the greeting.
