Chapter 93 - 093: You Really Have an Eye for It

:i>Dsipgex #51<[hapter 093: You Really Have an Eye for It

The families suddenly disliked it, and one woman wearing a navy coat rolled up her sleeves, ready to slap someone. She was pulled back by the person beside her, “Xing Fang, don’t stir up trouble; it could ruin your husband.”

Xing Fang snorted coldly, “Humph! They got off easy.”

When Sheng Ning finished bathing quickly and came out, she saw exactly this scene. She stood at the door, her long, luscious black hair dripping wet on her shoulders. Her fair, tender skin was like a dominant peony or a summer lotus, a simple presence that was breathtakingly beautiful.

The noisy crowd stopped instantly.

Xing Fang put her hands on her hips and laughed, “This young girl is simply prettier than you; your jealousy is futile. Everyone, am I right?”

“Xing Fang, speak less, don’t cause trouble for Captain Li.” The person beside her tugged at her sleeve, which she pretended not to see.

...

The women looked at Sheng Ning with eyes as sharp as knives. Qin Cuifen too was there, glaring at Sheng Ning as if she wanted to hack her to pieces with a thousand cuts.

Sheng Ning smiled bitterly; she already had poor rapport, now she was offending the entire Song and Dance Troupe. Luckily, she didn’t care; the caliber of rapport was always proven by one’s strength.

Trying to please everyone isn’t truly pleasing.

“You are right, elder sister!” Sheng Ning gave Xing Fang an approving look, then calmly found a spot and started washing clothes.

Everyone was surprised by her reaction, and Xing Fang’s look towards Sheng Ning suddenly became much warmer.

Beautiful, sociable, and interesting to talk to, she was naturally likable.

“Humph! Sheng Ning, just you wait.”

“Exactly, too arrogant.” A group of women were driven away in irritation, and gradually more came who were unaware and didn’t pay much attention.

“Comrade, are you Sheng Ning?” Xing Fang approached with a smile and asked.

“Yes!” Sheng Ning nodded, not stopping her laundry. From the earlier conversation, she guessed Xing Fang was the wife of the captain of Squad Three. If she really wanted to marry Xu Qigang, she couldn’t afford to offend his brother’s wife.

Thinking this, Sheng Ning’s lips curved into a slight, upward arch.

“Do you have a partner?” Xing Fang looked more and more pleased; such a beautiful girl would be more than a match for their chief captain.

Living Yama was famous far and wide, many secretly worried about his marital issues. Of course, these concerns were only spoken in private; nobody dared let him hear for fear Living Yama might make a couple live apart for a year, without meeting even once.

Remembering Xu Qigang’s rejection, Sheng Ning shook her head very clearly, “Not yet!”

“That’s great, I can introduce you to someone.”

“…” Sheng Ning didn’t know what to say; she didn’t want others setting her up, so she had to make an excuse: “Actually, in my hometown, my parents have arranged a marriage for me.” Sadly, no one was interested.

Xing Fang was somewhat disappointed, “I just knew, someone as pretty as you! If you were in our hometown, any boy within ten miles and eight villages would be yours to choose from.”

“Hehe…” She giggled foolishly; in fact, no one in her hometown dared to marry her.

As she returned after washing clothes, she bumped into Wu Youli halfway, “Sheng Ning, did you cause trouble again?”

“What incident are you talking about?”

“The one where you offended everyone in the Song and Dance Troupe.” Wu Youli’s face turned red with urgency. There wasn’t much friendship between her and Sheng Ning initially, but as time went on, she grew to appreciate Sheng Ning’s composure and truly wished her well, hoping everyone around could like her.
