She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 440: Chapter 450: Street Rat

”I advise you to pray for your own fortune!” said Chen Huaying, not wanting to stay a minute longer after stirring up such trouble. ”We came from the same compound, and that’s all I can say.” She hurried out.

Downstairs, Mr. Hai had finished his dinner and was watching TV in the living room.

”Why did Yingzi leave so soon?” Mr. Hai greeted warmly. ”You haven’t visited us for a long time, have you? Stay a bit longer!” When she was a little girl, she loved playing with Bao’er the most.

Back then, Bao’er was tiny and soft, and never cried. She always greeted everyone with a smile and was the treasure of the entire compound.

All the children loved playing with her.

”No need, thank you!” Chen Huaying put on her cotton coat and left. Her visit wasn’t to see Hai Lan, but to carry out Sheng Ning’s plan.

So, she felt a bit ashamed to face Elder Hai.

Her task was completed. As for what Hai Lan would do and the result that would come of it, that would be up to her.

At the Song and Dance Troupe, Qin Cuifen was released from the Detention Room and snuck back to her dormitory alone. She thought she was being covert, but as soon as she left the Detention Room, the news had already spread.

The formal notice of punishment hadn’t come down yet, but Qin Cuifen knew in her heart that the outcome would be unbearable for her.

She racked her brains and thought of all the people she could plead to, and in the end, only two names came up.

One was Shen Jianguo, the man she had set her heart on marrying. But since her relationship with Sheng Ning had soured, Shen Jianguo hadn’t been to the General Union for a long time.

He hadn’t come, and she couldn’t conveniently visit him at the Research Institute, which meant their relationship hadn’t gone the way she had planned.

If she hadn’t fallen out with Sheng Ning, she would have taken advantage of Shen Jianguo’s feelings for Sheng Ning and climbed her way up to success with him.

The reason she had set her sights on Shen Jianguo in the first place was because of his character. If she manufactured an incident involving drunken indiscretion, he would definitely marry her.

Unfortunately, the opportunity was missed.

The only other person capable of pleading for her was Sheng Ning. In this struggle, she had lost miserably, while Sheng Ning had effortlessly gained everything she had ever dreamed of.

As long as Sheng Ning was willing to speak up for her, she wouldn’t be dismissed.

Thinking of the scorn she’d face if she returned to her hometown made her want to die. The grander her departure had been, the more miserable her return would be.

Qin Cuifen rarely left herself a way out. When she had left her village, she had mocked all the girls of her age. Now, she would have to face everyone’s mockery.

No, she couldn’t be dismissed and sent back.

She had to seek Sheng Ning’s help before the formal notice of punishment was issued. As long as Sheng Ning spoke to Su Hai on her behalf, Su Hai would certainly listen.

Qin Cuifen pulled her sleeves tight and, shivering with cold, sneaked inward. Arriving at the window of Sheng Ning’s dorm, she heard the laughter inside and felt her eyes turning blood red.

She was now like a rat crossing the street, no, not even that. She didn’t dare to show her face, and yet they were all laughing and chatting inside.

Why?

Why could Sheng Ning, that little bitch, have everything, while she had to lose it all? Everything should have been hers, rightfully hers.

God was so unfair, just too unfair to her.

”Eh? Qin Cuifen?” Lu Dabao came over to visit and from afar spotted someone skulking beneath the window of Sheng Ning’s dorm, eavesdropping.
