"This girl, so shameless and impudent," Zhou Yuan pretended to be angry as she scolded, "How daring!"
"I just like Brother Meng Ping!" Hai Lan playfully stuck out her tongue.
Su Yun patted Hai Lan’s back, helping her to lean on the pillow, and praised, "I really like Hai Lan’s straightforwardness."
"Now, don’t forget to thank your aunt!"
"Thank you!" Hai Lan sweetly clung to Su Yun’s arm, unwilling to let go. Every time she thought about the fact that Sheng Ning’s own mother was now being monopolized by her, she was thrilled.
"How’s the injury? With your dance talent, it would be a loss to the entire dance community if you really couldn’t dance."
This comment made mother and daughter beam with joy.
"Aunt, I don’t know!" Hai Lan’s mood fell as she looked at her leg in a cast, her face pitiful. "If I really can’t dance, I might as well be dead!"
"Don’t talk nonsense," Zhou Yuan scolded.
"That’s too cruel," Su Yun said furiously, "I can’t believe she is such a person."
"She’s still acting wildly! Up to now, no one has heard even an apology, and she hasn’t shown up either."
"That’s just outrageous!"
The three of them chatted inside. Although they didn’t name names, everyone knew they were talking about Yang Wenying.
Su Yun stayed for nearly two hours before leaving. As soon as she left, the General Union erupted. Sheng Ning received countless sympathetic, pitiful, or skeptical looks wherever he went.
The night ended early, and after handing over Lu Dabao to Yang Xiaoman’s care and promising to bring her some food, he went out with Wu Youli.
There were many shops on the snack street, busier than a rural town. The two wandered from place to place, finally settling on a clean and tidy restaurant.
Sheng Ning had gotten quite a manuscript fee from Su Hai for writing scripts, waving his hand to let Wu Youli order whatever she wanted—as he could afford it.
"Where did you get the money?" Wu Youli had intended to treat him, but she couldn’t bear to let him spend his money.
"I got married! My husband supports me," Sheng Ning said with a playful smile.
Wu Youli snorted, completely amused by her. "My mom says a woman should also be independent and strong and not totally dependent on a man." She had been raised with modern ideas, which was why she chose to join the union.
"Yes, that’s why I let my husband support me! Otherwise, he would feel useless and insecure," Sheng Ning joked, trying to put Wu Youli at ease.
"Ha ha ha...interesting, really interesting!" The man’s hearty laughter came from the next table. "Even if you let your man pay, I bet he wouldn’t feel secure." Such a beautiful wife, truly a stunner, no less beautiful than a Hong Kong star. The source of thɪs content is ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt
"You’re being unreasonable!" Wu Youli angrily turned her head, only to see that the man was also a comrade. A table sat four or five big men, all in rescue uniforms, and their ranks...seemed higher than theirs?
"What rank are Sheng Ning and the others?" Wu Youli had been in the union for almost a year now and still hadn’t learned to recognize ranks.
Sheng Ning widened his eyes in shock, seeing that these people were not much older than him yet held such high positions. They either had exceptional abilities or a significant background.
"Is this the Union Flower?" The man who had spoken was rugged-looking, with a hearty personality and a bold nature. He stood up and only then realized that the woman sitting behind him, who was itching his heart, was none other than the recently famous Union Flower.
