She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 541: Chapter 563: No Apology

”If you had the ability, the President would guarantee the same treatment for you!”

”Well, I’d rather not!”

”Haven’t you seen that our administrative director is keeping silent? Besides, I also think what Living Yama did was hugely satisfying.”

”Exactly, that bunch of scumbags deserved a beating.”

When Liang Ximing walked in, he heard everyone’s discussion and his face darkened instantly, ”What are you all trying to do? Got nothing better to do after a full meal?”

”Hello, Director Liang.”

”Enough! Enough...” Liang Ximing waved his hand and continued to lecture, ”It’s one thing for a superior to comment, but how can you, as part of the administration, be unreasonable and not stay calm?”

”Director Liang, we were wrong, we truly were!”

Everyone quickly apologized, afraid that Liang Ximing would keep nagging on. Although Director Liang was not one to curse, his ability to nag was so strong that it could make one contemplate suicide.

Everything at the Song and Dance Troupe went on as usual, even the training at Hope Field was non-stop. Everyone sympathized with Sheng Ning, worrying that she would lose her lead dance position, which made Lu Dabao and Wu Youli very anxious.

The happiest about this matter was Hai Lan. She thought she had no chance, but now, to her delight, that little bitch Sheng Ning had her day.

Why doesn’t she just die and be done with it?

”Hai Lan, congratulations!” Zheng Meilin smiled with profound meaning, ”Sometimes you have to leave it to fate, and if it’s not in your destiny, don’t force it, right?”

”Not bad, that makes sense,” Hai Lan said with a happy smile. ”Some people just love to overdo it. If they say it’s appendicitis, only a ghost would believe it! My advice to everyone is to mind your own business. Don’t hang around with shady characters all day.”

Hai Lan vaguely heard that Sheng Ning didn’t have appendicitis at all, but had an accident of some sort. As for what exactly it was, she asked her cousin many times, but he didn’t utter a word.

Lu Dabao and Wu Youli sat together on the floor, unable to bear listening to Hai Lan’s smug laughter.

Now, with Chen Huaying transferred, Liu Yilan gone, Sheng Ning recovering from injury, and Zhang Hongmei distancing herself from them, it was just the two of them alone, having to endure Hai Lan’s annoying demeanor and getting angry every day.

”Too much.” Lu Dabao suddenly stood up, and Wu Youli was half a beat too slow in trying to stop her.

Lu Dabao was always known for her quick reflexes, and in one swift move, she went straight up and slapped Hai Lan across the face.

”I’ll teach you to talk nonsense; see if you dare do it again!”

Hai Lan was stunned, clutching her face as tears streamed down.

”How could you hit someone, Lu Dabao? Apologize to Hai Lan right now,” the instructor ordered, having seen what happened.

”I won’t! She deserved it,” Dabao stood her ground, refusing to apologize.

”If you won’t apologize, then stand outside as punishment.”

”If I have to stand, I’ll stand,” Dabao said, rushing outside without even putting on her clothes.

The temperature outside must have been below zero degrees. Lu Dabao was thinly dressed and soon started shivering violently, her lips turning purple. The instructor, worried, went out and said, ”Are you ready to apologize? If you apologize, I’ll let you in right away.”

”You can forget about me apologizing!” Dabao retorted.

”You... ungrateful. Then continue standing as punishment until the training is over,” the instructor, frustrated, walked away.

Inside Training Room One, training continued. Wu Youli, seeing Lu Dabao standing outside shivering, felt terrible, and Yang Xiaoman sneaked peeks at her from time to time. Near the end of the training session, Hai Lan raised her hand to plead with the instructor, ”Instructor, it’s really too cold outside, I can’t bear to see Dabao standing in the cold as punishment. I’ve forgiven her already, please let her in!”

”Pah! So pretentious,” Yang Xiaoman said indignantly, ”There are only ten minutes left until the session ends, she’s feigning benevolence at this moment, always playing the good person.”

”Shh!” Wu Youli quickly motioned for her to lower her voice.
