"Great! Today, without you, there are no performance tasks—we will return after attending the last presentation at the Research Institute. Everyone has worked hard for a month, and after returning, each of you will take two days off."
"Thank you, General Union!"
"Before disbanding, I want to caution you, do not cause trouble. The Research Institute has already allocated a place for us for the upcoming presentation; everyone act honestly."
Yang Wenying’s usual threats directly threw a wet blanket on everyone.
"With the Fifty-six Association and Qianjin around, we really have to keep a low profile!" Everyone murmured softly.
In the large square of the Research Institute, thousands of people gathered, resembling a green sea, stirring everyone’s blood.
Led by their leaders, the General Union Dance Troupe arrived at the pre-arranged spot. Upon reaching their destination, one couldn’t help but exclaim, "Ah, enemies on a narrow road!"
Chen Huaying’s words, always sharp.
"To our left is Qianjin, to our right is the Fifty-six Association. does the Research Institute enjoy the spectacle without worrying about making matters worse?"
The arrangement of these spots is indeed dubious!
As the three groups converged, the atmosphere immediately escalated to a tense state.
Zhou Kemeng of the Fifty-six Association looked at the empty space left in the middle for the General Union and made a contemptuous expression.
Standing on the left, Bai Oulan remained straight and poised, her pale skin shimmering in the sunlight, easily making everyone else look like ugly ducklings.
Of course, this excludes Sheng Ning.
Equally fair-skinned, one pallid, the other rosy and radiant. One twenty-two, the other an eighteen-year-old vibrant rose.
Sheng Ning’s beauty, even Bai Oulan couldn’t help but feel jealous.
Since Sheng Ning was tall and slender, she and Chen Huaying stood at the back, quite a distance from the leading figure at the front.
From there, she could see Su Yun’s haughty chin!
She squinted her eyes, thinking about this woman being her biological mother made her uncomfortable. Whether in her past life or this one, she did not like Su Yun.
Setting aside their complex conflicts, the aura of these two was inherently incompatible.
"Nice to see you again!" Bai Oulan, also standing at the back, turned her head and greeted Sheng Ning politely but distantly.
Sheng Ning scoffed, "Not nice at all! Thank you!"
Her words, completely disregarding Bai Oulan’s face, made everyone look at Sheng Ning with fiery eyes.
"Exactly! How can you treat Oulan ? Do you know who she is?"
Sheng Ning blinked innocently and shook her head, "Who is she?"
Zhou Kemeng couldn’t resist mocking, "She is Meng Fan’s fiancée. You surely know who Meng Fan is, right?"
"I know!" Sheng Ning stopped her light laughter and answered solemnly, "Meng Fan is a rescue hero, a national hero!" After speaking, she mockingly retorted to Bai Oulan: "But does she deserve him?"
Just thinking about Bai Tian’e exploiting her status as Meng Fan’s fiancée to garner sympathy, while secretly meeting other men, made her feel sick.
And it seemed, this wasn’t her first or last time doing so with that man.
Such behavior, desecrating the memory of the deceased, was simply detestable.
"Y-you. You’re crazy! How dare you speak of Oulan like that!"
Everyone looked at Sheng Ning in disbelief, even doubting if their ears were deceiving them.
"Oulan, come here!" Su Yun, standing at the forefront, turned back and warmly waved at Bai Oulan, "Come sit by Auntie!"
