She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1666: Chapter 1743: Held in Contempt

”Why would I be mad at you?” Yang Wenying’s expression was truly displeased, and she sternly criticized, ”When you were kidnapped and we couldn’t help at all, yet you still decided to give us such an expensive gift. Keep it! I won’t accept it.”

”Teacher Qiu Bai, what about you?” Sheng Ning desperately looked at Qiu Bai for help. ”Aren’t you going to accept it either?” To be honest, Sheng Ning’s expression was pitiful, which softened Qiu Bai’s heart.

”Sheng Ning, how can you afford such an expensive gift?”

”Uh...” Sheng Ning racked her brain for a long time, yet couldn’t come up with a suitable reason. She then blurted out, ”Actually, I’m very rich, really!”

”How rich are you? You, a prisoner kidnapped by bad guys, have money?” Yang Wenying was clearly skeptical. ”You better confess honestly and give an explanation to the organization.”

Oh right, that’s the main reason for Qiu Bai and Yang Wenying’s official visit today. Sheng Ning is not dead, so she is still a comrade, a member of the General Union Dance Troupe.

The organization is waiting for her return and a detailed report on the events that transpired during this time.

Sheng Ning understood; since Su Hai and Su Jiang gradually returned to their respective posts, she guessed that her free time was also limited.

”Sheng Ning, you’d better not do anything illegal abroad.” Yang Wenying, sensing something, gave her a sharp look, ”You must remember your identity.”

”I remember, I keep it in mind all the time!” Sheng Ning quickly reassured, ”Do I look like a bad person to you?”

Yang Wenying did genuinely stare at her for a while and nodded seriously, ”You do seem a bit like one.”

”You...”

”Enough, stop teasing her.” Qiu Bai couldn’t stand it anymore, glared at Yang Wenying, then turned to Sheng Ning and gently said, ”Don’t be scared by her. Take your time explaining, so when you return to the troupe, we can speak on your behalf.”

”Thank you, Teacher Qiu Bai.” In the few minutes before, Sheng Ning had already thought of a perfect reason. She recounted in detail how she was kidnapped, how she escaped, how she was saved by a little boy named Lin En, and all the events leading up to the Victoria Theater.

These events actually happened, so there was no room for error, nor was she deceiving anyone. She even briefly mentioned matters related to the Feng Family, though she didn’t disclose her current role in the Feng Family.

Apart from that, she explained everything clearly, leaving the two of them wide-eyed and speechless for a while.

This was especially true for Qiu Bai and Yang Wenying; if it were anyone else, she wouldn’t recount the matter so comprehensively.

”You... you suffered.”

Sheng Ning never expected someone as tough as Yang Wenying to have such a sensitive heart. After listening to her story, Yang Wenying’s eyes turned red, and she remained silent for a while. In reality, for Sheng Ning, the events were already in the past; reminiscing now only made her feel reflective, not painful.

Maybe experiencing many events matured her mindset.

”So did you sell your own daughter?”

”Cough cough cough... wait... General, what did you say?” Just as someone praised her good mindset, Yang Wenying’s next words completely shattered it, almost choking her on her own saliva.

”If this isn’t selling your daughter, then what is?” Yang Wenying disapprovingly rolled her eyes at her, ”You sold your daughter for a theater? And to far-off Europe, hey, you’ve really got skills. Never heard of such a capable mother like you. What age are we in now? Arranged marriage isn’t in vogue anymore.”
