She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 644: Chapter 669: Loot a Burning House

”What do you know? Just don’t offend the Living Yama in the future.” Some things were not very convenient to discuss with her daughter. Living Yama held a significant rank among the top leaders, a key nurtured General Star, certainly not someone a mere leader of the Song and Dance Troupe could compare with.

”We’ll be discharged this afternoon and return to the compound for good recuperation, and let your grandfather decide for you.”

After these few incidents, Hai Lan was somewhat afraid of Mr. Hai and subconsciously wanted to refuse. ”Mom, can we not go back?”

”No!” Zhou Yuan refused outright, ”You think I want to go back to the compound? If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t return.”

Knowing she couldn’t refuse, Hai Lan could only agree.

”Lanlan, how come during the time you were in the hospital, none of your friends came to visit you?” Zhou Yuan was puzzled, her daughter should have countless people trying to curry favor with her.

Hai Lan’s face turned pale white, her hand clutching the frozen pear tightly, wishing she could squash it into a mush. No more being the star of the Dance College, no more flattering and ingratiation. Even in the General Union Dance Troupe, her position wasn’t as good as that of the stupid, gluttonous Lu Dabao.

This all made her feel embarrassed and humiliated!

Zhou Yuan saw that her daughter’s complexion was clearly wrong and also sensed the anomaly. Lanlan, being obedient and sensible, as well as smart and kind-hearted, yet these people dared to bully her like this! It was truly despicable!

”It’s all because of Yang Wenyin and Sheng Ning, they’ve joined hands to bully me, to ostracize me. I always tried to be tolerant, and yet they still won’t let me be.”

”Sheng Ning, is she that granddaughter from the Su Family?” Zhou Yuan snorted coldly.

”Yes! She thinks with the Su Family backing her, she can act arrogantly and despotic.”

”I heard Su Yun doesn’t acknowledge her?”

”Yes!” Hai Lan nodded, feeling a bit more relieved at heart, ”Aunt Su Yun doesn’t recognize her at all, and really dislikes her.”

”Good, good, good... such a person deserves retribution. If her own mother doesn’t like her, what’s the use of anyone else’s approval?” Zhou Yuan patted Hai Lan’s hand to comfort her, ”Lanlan, focus on healing. Get yourself well. You are the daughter of Zhou Yuan, carrying the Hai surname. Your future is something that illegitimate daughter from the countryside could never compare to.”

Zhou Yuan’s words were like a shot of adrenaline for Hai Lan, a promise that allowed her to be more unguarded in the future.

It seemed that this suffering strategy had been the right move; she had to thank Lu Dabao and Yang Wenyin for bringing such a good opportunity to her doorstep.

**********

Su Yun had sent Meng Ping to her father-in-law just the day before last, and upon returning, she heard about Hai Lan’s incident and Yang Wenyin being suspended. The irritations of many days vanished, clearing her mind and refreshing her spirit.

”General team, now that the General Union Dance Troupe is short a leader, many tasks can’t be carried out,” the office President hinted subtly.

”Indeed! Although Qiu Bai is outstanding, she cannot take on the functioning of the entire Song and Dance Troupe,” Su Yun said, propping her slightly pointed chin with her hand, worriedly, ”Shen Feihu has a domineering personality and hates it when others meddle in their union’s business.”

Her implication was that she wanted someone to replace Yang Wenyin’s position, but it was simply impossible to make a move. Moreover, she had been troubled lately and couldn’t spare the effort. With the Spring Festival Gala just ten days away, this was a major performance of the year for female comrades. If performed well, the upcoming year would be glorious, but a poor performance meant not being able to hold one’s head up high wherever you went.

Valuing honor the most, Su Yun was no exception.

”General team, besides being the leader of the Qianjin Dance Troupe, you are also the President’s wife,” the office President added, barely stopping short of pointing it out directly.
