Chapter 302: Chapter 308: Someone Needs a Beating
âHuaying, your mouth is still as sharp as ever,â Hai Lan smiled gently, but her words cut deep, âLook at you, failing in your studies, and even your dancing isnât good. Now youâve relied on connections to get into Hope Field. I really didnât expect you to be this kind of person.â
The audience around them, who had been eavesdropping, couldnât help but gasp in shock.
Hope Field being such a big deal, could there actually be an inside story?
Sure enough, having connections and backing really does mean you can take shortcuts.
Chen Huaying, waving her fists, was about to strike, but Sheng Ning and Zhu Yu held her back, one on each side.
Sheng Ning hadnât expected Zhu Yu to intervene and was somewhat surprised as she glanced at her. If it werenât for Zhu Yu, with her strength alone she wouldnât have been able to hold her back.
If Chen Huaying had hit Hai Lan on her first day, things would have blown up. Moreover, the Hai Family was not easy to deal with, and as far as she knew, the Chen Familyâs influence was much weaker in comparison.
Zhu Yu snorted coldly and turned away with pride.
Sheng Ning smiled and quickly tried to pacify Chen Huaying. âDonât get angry, is this worth getting upset over?â
âSome people are asking for a beating, and if I donât teach her a lesson, Iâd be letting her off easy!â
Compared to Chen Huayingâs frantic anger, Hai Lan maintained a demeanor of a genteel and virtuous lady, a term like âgoddessâ did not yet exist.
If it did, countless would be shouting âgoddessâ.
âHuaying, why are you still so hotheaded? Itâs not good for a girl to have such a bad temper. Iâll forgive you this time, but donât do this again, okay?â she said, playfully blinking an eye, immediately earning admiring glances from many.
âShut your damn mouth!â Chen Huaying cursed directly.
Liu Yilan was sitting on the other side of Sheng Ning, a bit far from Chen Huaying and couldnât reach her, signaled to Lu Dabao beside her to step in.
Lu Dabao, agile like a monkey, swiftly jumped in front of Chen Huaying and covered her mouth, smugly saying, âI think you better not talk, you canât win against her anyway.â
âDabao, how come itâs you?â Hai Lan greeted Lu Dabao warmly.
Unappreciative, Lu Dabao retorted, âWhy are you so annoying? Happy to see Chen Huaying pissed off?â
âYou⊠youâve misunderstood me!â Hai Lan tried to hold back her tears, pitifully, âDabao, how could you say that about me?â
She could casually trample over Chen Huaying and keep her under her feet, but she couldnât treat Lu Dabao the same way. Although this girl came from a humble background, she had always been treasured in the large courtyard where she grew up, liked by everyone.
Even Meng Ping was especially fond of her.
Besides, she was straightforward, or to put it bluntly, foolish. If she confronted Lu Dabao, wouldnât that mean she was calling herself foolish?
âDabao, how come youâre so close with Chen Huaying now?â Hai Lan had always wanted to recruit Lu Dabao as her follower, but this stubborn girl was always unsuccessful.
Afterward, when she went to Dance College, they grew even more distant. She hadnât expected they would now be so close.
âAnnoying!â Dabao said impatiently.
Qin Cuifen had been enjoying the drama, delighted to see Chen Huaying embarrassed. But she was more eager to see Sheng Ning lose face. Now that Lu Dabao had jumped in, she couldnât miss this chance.
She had to stir the pot.
âHai Lan!â Qin Cuifen tugged at Hai Lanâs sleeve and soothed her with a smile, âDonât be angry, itâs probably because of Sheng Ning! She has good relationships with both Dabao and Meng Ping.â She particularly emphasized her relationship with Meng Ping with a meaningful tone.
