Chapter 690: Chapter 719 What Are You Looking At?
Sheng Ning sized her up internally, while Bai Oulan also watched her surreptitiously. Every glance felt like a stab to the eye. Sheng Ningâs beauty was different from hersâbefore her arrival, she was the type men favored most, the type they wanted to conquer the most.
She was a passionate rose, the kind to make men dream and yearn.
The hands Bai Oulan held by her side clenched slightly. She thought she was being secretive, but every little movement was caught by Sheng Ning. Some people dared not act openly, but she did.
âWhat are you looking at? Whatâs so interesting?â A female comrade by Bai Oulanâs side asked with an aggressive tone.
âLooking at a beauty!â Sheng Ning raised her eyebrows, âWhy? Canât I look?â
âYou⊠youâre simply insulting!â The female comrade fumed, âHow can there be someone as shameless as you? Saying that is outright insulting.â
Who in the troupe didnât know that the title of Union Flower had been snatched by Sheng Ning from Sister Oulan? And she was outright staring at Sister Oulanâthis was clearly a show of bravado.
âOh! Are you suggesting that our Sheng Ning is better looking than Bai Tianâe, so thereâs no need to look?â Lu Xiaoshuang spoke up defiantly.
âHow impudent! Who said you could talk to a leader like that?â The female comrade lunged forward to slap Lu Xiaoshuang, but Sheng Ning grabbed her hand in time.
âWhat are you doing? Do you want to rebel? A newbie like you, speaking to a veteran comrade like that?â
Sheng Ning flung away her hand and pointed her slender fingers first at the womanâs epaulettes and then at her own. âOpen your eyes wide and see clearly. Also, it was the former Union Flower who was staring at me first. Canât I take a couple more glances?â Sheng Ning did not mince her words, emphasizing the word âformerâ with added pressure in her voice.
The entire backstage crowd stared at Sheng Ning in horror, as if they had seen some kind of monster.
âDonât get stage fright; we canât play dumb today. Is Qianjin so great that they can hit people at will?â Lu Xiaoshuang moved close to Sheng Ning and whispered, âWe all support you!â
âThank you!â Sheng Ning playfully raised her eyebrows at her.
âYou all are going too far. Youâll have bad luck sooner or later.â Qianjinâs people were livid with anger. Although they secretly envied Bai Tianâe and never spoke well of her, they needed to present a united front when it was time to show solidarity.
âSister Oulan is your senior, your leader, and is a widow. How can you humiliate her like this? Do you think this is fair to the deceased Captain Meng Fan?â The female comradeâs questioning made everyone glare at the General Union indignantly.
âApologize, do it quickly.â
âHow can you insult a war hero?â
âApologize, right now.â
Hearing Meng Fanâs name made Lu Xiaoshuang and the others bow their heads in guilt. Meng Fan was their hero, and even if they disliked Bai Tianâe, they should not disrespect Meng Fan.
Sheng Ning trembled with anger she could hardly containâshe had truly experienced Bai Tianâeâs shamelessness. What an actor she was! If she hadnât seen it with her own eyes, she would have been fooled like the rest. How could she shamelessly use the flag of Meng Fan, who had been sacrificed over two years ago, time and time again?
Didnât she have even a hint of guilt?
Wu Youli squeezed through to the front looking utterly confused, âHow did I insult her? Where did we insult her? Can you make yourselves clear?â
The other members of the Song and Dance Troupe looked at each other, somewhat bewildered. Right! There didnât seem to be any insult! To be called a former was not wrongâthis title changed every few years, which was very normal.
