Chapter 170: Chapter 171: Fight Together

She pretended not to hear and kept revising her script.

What she was like had nothing to do with others; an upright person didn’t fear a crooked shadow. But now that Qin Cuifen was coming to cause trouble, she didn’t want to endure it anymore.

Once and again, no one could bear it.

“What causing trouble?” The word ‘causing’ made Qin Cuifen flush with embarrassment. In the countryside, it was an extremely negative term, typically used behind someone’s back to describe affairs between men and women.

“Ha ha ha…” A burst of laughter erupted in the dormitory.

Chen Huaying shouted with a hoarse voice, “Qin Cuifen, so you really like causing trouble, huh?”

“You… You are simply shameless!” Qin Cuifen was so angry she almost fainted, her eyes filled with spiteful venom as she said, “We’re all civilized people; I never expected you all to be so crass and vulgar.”

“It’s you who are vulgar, your whole family is vulgar.” When it came to quarreling, Chen Huaying had never lost since she was a child. She was someone who got excited by arguments and wouldn’t stop until she won.

“Chen Huaying, don’t think you can bully others just because you’ve got connections.” Qin Cuifen slammed the accusation down, secretly pleased with herself.

Humph! There was already prejudice within the union against those from the countryside towards city dwellers, and now this would surely stir up everyone’s discontent. With this in mind, she added fuel to the fire, “We come from the countryside, without any connections, not as eloquent as you. Therefore, you always feel superior to us, look down on us, and even enjoy putting us down.”

“Right!” Her words struck a chord with many, and even while knowing it wasn’t appropriate, some still boldly echoed her sentiment.

Even Zhang Hongmei stared at Qin Cuifen in a daze, likely agreeing in her heart.

“If you’re self-deprecating and brown-nosing everywhere, can anyone stop you?” Chen Huaying lifted her foot from the basin, grabbed a towel to wipe it off casually, and then tossed the towel on the floor, ready to stand up and continue the dispute.

Qin Cuifen caught the gesture of Huaying throwing down the towel and exclaimed, “Chen Huaying, such a good towel, and you casually use it to wipe your feet and throw it away. But do you know? A towel like this, we’d have to save a month’s worth of eggs to take to the market and sell to afford it.”

“Is this person playing the pity card?” Liu Yilan was shocked by Qin Cuifen’s bizarre logic—their money wasn’t real money?

The connections she boasted of were earned through the blood of their grandfathers and fathers. Moreover, they trained just the same, lived and ate together—where was any special treatment?

If they wanted to get ahead, they had to fight for it even harder.

This woman was simply detestably refreshing in her own way.

“She’s not playing the pity card; I told you, she’s causing trouble,” Sheng Ning shrugged at Liu Yilan, making her burst into laughter.

“Indeed, the term ‘causing trouble’ really fits her perfectly,” Liu Yilan gave a thumbs up for the first time to someone.

“Ha ha ha… Causing trouble!” Chen Huaying clapped hands, completely unabashed.

Others provoked by Qin Cuifen glared at them, eyes ablaze with anger. If it weren’t for the fear of offending, a fight would have already broken out.

Sheng Ning felt the incident started because of her, and it was necessary for her to stand up. Just now, Chen Huaying had backed her up. So, she moved from behind to in front of the desk, standing in the dormitory center aisle. The fluorescent light overhead illuminated her face, making her skin appear flawless and white, like a piece of exquisite jade. Her fan-like eyelashes cast a small shadow under the lights.

Chen Huaying and Liu Yilan watched in admiration; it was hard to imagine Sheng Ning came from the countryside. Even Jiang Lanxin, hailed as the number one beauty in their compound, wasn’t a tenth as beautiful as her.
