She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 302: Chapter 308: Someone Needs a Beating

“Huaying, your mouth is still as sharp as ever,” Hai Lan smiled gently, but her words cut deep, “Look at you, failing in your studies, and even your dancing isn’t good. Now you’ve relied on connections to get into Hope Field. I really didn’t expect you to be this kind of person.”

The audience around them, who had been eavesdropping, couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

Hope Field being such a big deal, could there actually be an inside story?

Sure enough, having connections and backing really does mean you can take shortcuts.

Chen Huaying, waving her fists, was about to strike, but Sheng Ning and Zhu Yu held her back, one on each side.

Sheng Ning hadn’t expected Zhu Yu to intervene and was somewhat surprised as she glanced at her. If it weren’t for Zhu Yu, with her strength alone she wouldn’t have been able to hold her back.

If Chen Huaying had hit Hai Lan on her first day, things would have blown up. Moreover, the Hai Family was not easy to deal with, and as far as she knew, the Chen Family’s influence was much weaker in comparison.

Zhu Yu snorted coldly and turned away with pride.

Sheng Ning smiled and quickly tried to pacify Chen Huaying. “Don’t get angry, is this worth getting upset over?”

“Some people are asking for a beating, and if I don’t teach her a lesson, I’d be letting her off easy!”

Compared to Chen Huaying’s frantic anger, Hai Lan maintained a demeanor of a genteel and virtuous lady, a term like ‘goddess’ did not yet exist.

If it did, countless would be shouting ‘goddess’.

“Huaying, why are you still so hotheaded? It’s not good for a girl to have such a bad temper. I’ll forgive you this time, but don’t do this again, okay?” she said, playfully blinking an eye, immediately earning admiring glances from many.

“Shut your damn mouth!” Chen Huaying cursed directly.

Liu Yilan was sitting on the other side of Sheng Ning, a bit far from Chen Huaying and couldn’t reach her, signaled to Lu Dabao beside her to step in.

Lu Dabao, agile like a monkey, swiftly jumped in front of Chen Huaying and covered her mouth, smugly saying, “I think you better not talk, you can’t win against her anyway.”

“Dabao, how come it’s you?” Hai Lan greeted Lu Dabao warmly.

Unappreciative, Lu Dabao retorted, “Why are you so annoying? Happy to see Chen Huaying pissed off?”

“You… you’ve misunderstood me!” Hai Lan tried to hold back her tears, pitifully, “Dabao, how could you say that about me?”

She could casually trample over Chen Huaying and keep her under her feet, but she couldn’t treat Lu Dabao the same way. Although this girl came from a humble background, she had always been treasured in the large courtyard where she grew up, liked by everyone.

Even Meng Ping was especially fond of her.

Besides, she was straightforward, or to put it bluntly, foolish. If she confronted Lu Dabao, wouldn’t that mean she was calling herself foolish?

“Dabao, how come you’re so close with Chen Huaying now?” Hai Lan had always wanted to recruit Lu Dabao as her follower, but this stubborn girl was always unsuccessful.

Afterward, when she went to Dance College, they grew even more distant. She hadn’t expected they would now be so close.

“Annoying!” Dabao said impatiently.

Qin Cuifen had been enjoying the drama, delighted to see Chen Huaying embarrassed. But she was more eager to see Sheng Ning lose face. Now that Lu Dabao had jumped in, she couldn’t miss this chance.

She had to stir the pot.

“Hai Lan!” Qin Cuifen tugged at Hai Lan’s sleeve and soothed her with a smile, “Don’t be angry, it’s probably because of Sheng Ning! She has good relationships with both Dabao and Meng Ping.” She particularly emphasized her relationship with Meng Ping with a meaningful tone.
