She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Harm Others Without Benefiting Oneself

Thinking that the Captain was the strictest in leading the team and would never shield or indulge anyone, Sheng Ning gritted her teeth and said, “Since you’re not convinced, then see for yourselves. I’ve given you the chance. If you can’t prove you were framed, the punishment will be doubled.”

“Double it then,” Liu Yilan snorted coldly, looking at Sheng Ning with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

“Let’s go!”

The group arrived at Sheng Ning’s dormitory and were almost knocked off their feet by the strange smell even before entering.

“This Sheng Ning really doesn’t care about hygiene, letting dirty socks pile up for so many days without washing,” Zhou Xuelian’s voice came from inside.

Sheng Ning’s face, as white as jade, turned ashen, almost grinding her silver teeth to dust.

...

Qin Cuifen feigned a sigh, “It’s all because they were too playful. If they hadn’t gone out this afternoon, they surely would have cleaned up well.”

Chen Huaying couldn’t stand it any longer, and under Dai Bin’s glare, she kicked the door open. The two people inside who were in the midst of talking looked over provocatively, Qin Cuifen even gave Sheng Ning a smug, crooked smile.

Sheng Ning’s eyes narrowed dangerously as she looked at Qin Cuifen. Heaven’s wrath is to be forgiven; self-inflicted evils deserve death. Qin Cuifen, just wait for your unlucky day.

The dormitory for eight was in complete disarray, with bedding from several beds heaped together haphazardly. Toothbrush cups, face towels, and washbasins were messily thrown together.

What was unbearable was the stench of dirty socks lingering in the room.

The situation inside was even worse than what Dai Bin had described.

“How can this be? It was clean and tidy when we left,” Zhang Hongmei said, standing awkwardly in front of her bed, nearly fainting.

She was so particular about cleanliness, always the first to get up to clean and tidy up, wiping tables and mopping floors. How could it end up like this?

From the Trade Union Dance Troupe Dormitory to the War Wolf Rescue Team Dormitory, she was always the first to clean the collective dormitory hygiene. Who could be so cruel as to frame her?

Thinking that failing the internal affairs could seriously affect the training scores, even affecting whether one could remain in the General Union Dance Troupe, Zhang Hongmei’s usually timorous character became utterly fearless as she confronted Qin Cuifen.

“It was you, wasn’t it? You did this on purpose to frame Sheng Ning, didn’t you?”

“Are you crazy? Why would I do something like this?” Qin Cuifen protested as if she had been wronged, saying excitedly, “It’s clear you were all slacking off and are trying to blame me. We live in the same dorm, we should be helping each other. I can’t believe you’d maliciously slander me.”

After she finished speaking, Qin Cuifen felt her heart still wasn’t content. Turning around, she smiled at Sheng Ning, “Ningning, we grew up together, closer than sisters. I would only help you, why would I frame you?”

“Don’t even. My sister is An’an, not you.” Sheng Ning was already tired of such insincerity.

Qin Cuifen’s expression froze, a flash of embarrassment crossing her face, but she had thick skin, accustomed to finding her own way out. Smiling, she said, “It’s not that I want to speak ill of you, Ningning, but everyone knows what kind of person you have been since childhood, and what kind of reputation you have. It’s not surprising at all that you don’t focus on hygiene!”

“Exactly!” Zhou Xuelian chimed in, “Who in the Song and Dance Troupe doesn’t know that Sheng Ning has been spoiled and lazy from childhood, selfish, shallow, and deceitful…”

“Shut your mouth!” Chen Yingjie, who had been standing outside without coming in, suddenly exploded in anger.

Qin Cuifen and Zhou Xuelian shuddered at his outburst, feeling the tangible murderous intent.

Chen Yingjie stepped inside, his gaze sharp as a knife falling on Sheng Ning. It held a mix of scrutiny and dissatisfaction. Clearly, he believed such a woman was not good enough for their heroic Captain.

The Captain had ended up with such a wife; it must have been a mistake of arranged marriage by the family patriarch. No, he had to help the Captain out of this misery. Even the President’s daughter was willing to marry the Captain, but the Captain wouldn’t agree. How could he marry such a poor-quality woman?

With these thoughts, Chen Yingjie’s gaze towards Sheng Ning grew increasingly dissatisfied. He also glanced at Chen Huaying, silently resenting her for not being more assertive.

“Since we’re all in the same dormitory, if there’s a mistake, we’ll punish everyone together. Everyone get out and run. If you don’t complete twenty laps, you’re not allowed to sleep tonight,” Chen Yingjie issued the final ultimatum, “Training scores will be docked five points each.”
