Chapter 328: Chapter 335 Privately Informed
They all got along so well that they had essentially become the core of the Song and Dance Troupe. Others who had opinions dared not express them like they used to or directly point at Sheng Ning and curse.
The jealous ones only dared to bitch about her behind her back. Or they would huddle with Qin Cuifen, and now Hai Lan had joined them too.
The previous balance was going to be broken.
Yet Hai Lan was a contradictory person herself, using others while looking down on them in her heart.
She was the precious daughter of the Hai Family, and if she hung out, it was with those from major compounds or others as exceptional as herself.
Getting too close to a bunch of country bumpkins would only lower her standards.
âHai Lan, look at them, theyâre just annoying, always forming their little cliques,â Qin Cuifen said, pretending it slipped out casually.
Sheng Ning used to be trampled under her feet, scorned by everyone she encountered. Now, she had become someone around whom the most powerful and well-connected in the entire Song and Dance Troupe revolved, which made Qin Cuifenâs blood boil with jealousy.
If it werenât for this situation, that idiot Sheng Ning would have been kicked out of the Song and Dance Troupe by her long ago.
âEnough! Hold your tongue,â Hai Lan said, feigning generosity, though inside she was screaming, âGo on, say it! Attack her viciously!â
Qin Cuifen was relying on Hai Lanâs backing, so hearing this, she didnât say much more. Originally, her intent was to provoke Hai Lan, but she didnât take the bait.
Such a spineless reaction, not even pursuing it after being slapped.
If she had Hai Lanâs background, she would have crushed Sheng Ning into the dust.
Disappointed, Hai Lan took Qin Cuifenâs hand and said, âCome, go make a phone call with me.â
âOkay!â
They didnât have the privilege to make phone calls daily, but Hai Lan did.
In the communication room, Hai Lan dialed Hai Shenâs number.
âBrother!â she called out, her voice delicate and filled with apparent grievance.
âWhatâs wrong? Faced some trouble at the General Union just shortly after arriving?â Hai Shen asked with a laugh.
He knew all about this girlâs antics at the union, including how Meng Ping drove her there in the Presidentâs car, making a grand entrance, and getting slapped by Sheng Ning.
The Hai Family had always kept a low profile, and he, as the eldest grandchild, had started from the grassroots and worked his way up.
And yet this cousin always aimed to stand above the rest.
Thinking this, Hai Shenâs eyes narrowed slightly as he suppressed his dissatisfaction. If not for his real sister being lost, would they need this fake cousin to flaunt power?
âBrother, someone bullied your sister, you have to stand up for me.â
âOh! Who dared to bully you, then?â Hai Shen asked, his tone lightly mocking.
âSomeone hit me. Brother, you all loved and protected me so much since I was little, afraid to even touch me. Now someone actually hit me, thatâs blatantly a slap to the Hai Familyâs face,â Hai Lan knew just how to stir up her cousinâs anger.
It wasnât a big deal for her personally, but the dignity of the Hai Family was not something anyone could challenge.
Hai Shen chuckled coldly, yet his voice remained light, âHai Lan, who is so bold to hit you? Or did you do something to give them a reason?â
Hearing this, Hai Lan immediately started crying on the phone, âBrother, youâre my brother, how can you not believe me? What could I have possibly done? Chen Huaying bullied me so much, and Iâve always just endured it.â
Ha! Chen Huaying had fought with her since childhood and never won once.
âAlright, stop crying, you need to toughen up. As an outstanding comrade, you canât just start crying like that.â
