"Now you’re acting like a loyal dog, did you take the wrong medicine or something?" Even in my past life, when I acknowledged Qin Cuifen, I never saw Su Huai’an give anyone an extra smile.
"Professor Su, may I ask if you’re not busy? There must be plenty of courses at National Security University, right?" If you really are not busy, I’m very busy. Please don’t show up in front of me, forcing me to make choices I’m reluctant to make." Taking this ride today was essentially a compromise with the Su Family. I’m afraid once is enough. It took me a long time to learn to be strong, and I can’t go back to being the despised, insecure Sheng Ning who constantly needed others.
I had made up my mind, I won’t let myself live in the shadows of the past anymore. Nor could I let hatred cloud my vision—I wanted to proudly earn everything I desired.
Just like the vows I made when I was reborn.
To be a filial daughter, a competent sister, a fine comrade, and the loyal wife of the Living Yama. To lead my family to wealth in the rush of the reform and opening-up era.
My ambitions were simple, so why wouldn’t they even let me fulfill these modest dreams?
Su Huai’an’s expression turned uglier than the fathomless sea. "I’m sorry, Ningning, it’s okay if you don’t recognize us. We won’t force you."
"You’re still forcing me, aren’t you?"
Faced with his actions today, Su Huai’an ultimately remained silent.
He just wanted to be her rock, to ensure no one else dared to pressure her or look down on her.
Back at the General Union Dance Troupe, Sheng Ning first went to Yang Wenying’s office to report back from leave.
"Come in!" Yang Wenying’s face was stern, but it softened when she saw Sheng Ning enter.
"How are you doing? How’s your condition?" Yang Wenying circled from behind her desk to inspect Sheng Ning, jokingly saying, "Everything’s turned upside-down overnight! Should I just hand over the talent I personally cultivated?"
"Head of the Troupe, I won’t go anywhere but our General Union." Sheng Ning couldn’t help but smile.
"Really shameless, do you even qualify as a talent? You really know how to toot your own horn."
Yang Wenying’s sharp style helped Sheng Ning relax; she was really worried everyone was influenced by the Su Family.
"I am a talent, and you’ll realize later that I am a treasure to our General Union Dance Troupe." She believed she would prove in the future that she was the pride of the Dance Troupe.
"You really are thick-skinned!" Yang Wenying couldn’t help but laugh too. She really feared Sheng Ning would suddenly change her identity and become like Hai Lan.
"What are your plans for the future? Everyone who’s a bit informed already knows!"
"How I was before is how I’ll continue to be. I am Sheng Ning, and nobody else."
"Very good!" Yang Wenying’s eyes showed approval, appreciating her resistance to the allure of the Su family’s power. "Su Yun has no right to be your mother; you’re better off not acknowledging her. We never got along anyway."
"Head of the Troupe, I will definitely help you defeat Qianjin in the future, what do you think?" Sheng Ning’s eyes sparkled brightly.
"Good!" Yang Wenying nodded in satisfaction, "With so many problems, finally there’s something that makes me happy."
Sheng Ning smiled, "Head of the Troupe, I wanted to ask, how will the organization handle the matter with Liu Yilan?"
"The Inspection Department has already intervened in the investigation! It’s no longer up to me to decide."
Two female comrades openly fighting and even disfiguring each other had created an extremely bad impact, elevating it to a very serious level.
