Chapter 294: Chapter 299: The Designated Future Daughter-in-law
Qin Cuifen stood among the crowd, transfixed. Unconsciously, she had even moved to the front. The appearance of Hai Lan seemed like a door to a whole new world in her life.
That was real dazzle, riding in the best cars, with the most handsome men by her side.
Wasn’t this the life she always wanted?
Why was there such a huge difference among women? Why couldn’t she have influential and powerful parents?
Qin Cuifen watched in a daze, the jealousy in her eyes growing wildly, while also igniting a stronger fighting spirit.
Sheng Ning, who had been blocked on her way and was chatting with Liu Yilan about food, felt Liu nudge her with her elbow, signaling, “Look quickly, there’s a good show.”
Sheng Ning turned her head, meeting the gaze of Hai Lan and Meng Ping. She frowned slightly in disgust, then turned her gaze onto Hai Lan.
“This is the Hai Family’s precious daughter, a top graduate from the Dance College, said to be the predestined wife of the Meng Family,” Liu Yilan gossiped.
“You hear a lot, don’t you?” Sheng Ning shifted her gaze from Hai Lan, said irritably. In her brief eye contact with Hai Lan, she clearly sensed hostility.
She didn’t understand why such an outstanding, dazzling girl with an amazing family background would feel hostility towards her, a country girl.
“She doesn’t like the look of you.” Liu Yilan gloated, “I’ve noticed that all women have a problem with you!”
“Then you must be a man.”
“…” Did she just shoot herself in the foot?
Meng Ping spotted Sheng Ning standing in the crowd at a glance. Despite her plain clothes, she still deeply captured his attention.
“Sheng Ning…” he called out hastily, completely unaware that Hai Lan’s expression had darkened instantly.
Hmph! An old love is just an old love, of no value at all. This new love has potential, looks just like a vixen. But low is low, no matter how pretty, you’re nothing more than a plaything for men!
“Let’s go quickly, what a madman.” Sheng Ning took Liu Yilan and left the crowd.
She must have been bad in her past life to be plagued with debt in this one. Meng Ping, that bastard, seemed to lock horns with her. Has he gone mad? It wasn’t in her previous life, probably a butterfly effect from her rebirth.
Meng Ping pushed Hai Lan aside, wanting to chase after her, but Hai Lan was quick to react. Pushed back, she lunged forward to firmly grasp Meng Ping’s arm, still wearing the perfect smile on her face. Her words, however, were harsh, “Meng Ping, do you really want to slap my face in front of all these people?”
“You…” Meng Ping was about to snap, but Teacher Qiu Bai arrived, and Sheng Ning had already vanished, so he let it go.
“Teacher Qiu Bai, I’m sorry for being late. My grandfather went missing recently, so I couldn’t report in,” Hai Lan explained carefully.
“It’s okay, understandable.” Teacher Qiu Bai knew full well that Elder Hai had indeed gone missing, but he had returned half a month ago. This excuse was just too clumsy.
If you’re going to lie, at least come up with a better story.
“Thank you, Teacher Qiu Bai.” Hai Lan held on to Teacher Qiu Bai’s hand joyously, smiling like an innocent child.
Teacher Qiu Bai nodded gently, “Alright, don’t block the door here, go change your clothes now.” As he said this, he spotted Qin Cuifen standing at the front, calling out, “Qin Cuifen, take Hai Lan to get the clothes and show her the dormitory.”
When her name was called, Qin Cuifen burst with excitement, replying loudly, “Yes, Teacher Qiu Bai.”
