Tang Beibei frowned at Madam Wu when she tried to persuade her into getting a divorce.
Madam Wu was not young. How could her worldview be so warped?
âItâs fate that we met, but my husband and I wonât get a divorce. Madam Wu, focus on your recuperation. I still have homework to finish, so Iâll take my leave now.â
Madam Wu held her hand and was reluctant to let go. But the young lady was also busy and couldnât spend all her time accompanying an old lady.
As soon as Tang Beibei walked out of the ward, the man put his arm around her shoulders and kissed her.
âAt least youâre sensible enough not to be snatched away.â
Tang Beibei was stunned for a few seconds. She recalled what Madam Wu said and glared at him with a frown. âDo I look like the kind of person who could be lured away? You donât trust me!â
Jiang Jingchen pinched her cheek. âYou make it sound like youâre so smart.â
Tang Beibei was depressed at his implication that she was stupid.
âWho has homework to finish?â
Jiang Jingchen asked when he saw the little woman ignore him with her head lowered.
âSigh. Me. Thereâs definitely homework in the two days Iâve been away.â
Tang Beibei instantly snapped out of her depression and held his arm. âLetâs go home now.â
The two of them got into the car. Since she wanted to do her homework, she naturally had to ask someone from school what homework had been given in the last two days.
She took out her phone and called Fu Jin.
Jiang Jingchen saw that she was video calling Fu Jin and got so angry that he felt himself choking from stale blood in his throat.
Ruan Qi couldnât attend school yet as she was still recuperating from her near miscarriage. Tang Beibei asked Fu Jin help Ruan Qi apply for leave.
Fu Jin was stunned when he heard that Ruan Qi was pregnant. He found it unbelievable.
âSheâs only twenty and sheâs already pregnant. Isnât that too soon?â
Tang Beibei, however, felt that it was alright. âSheâs married and since the baby came, sheâll just give birth to the baby when itâs time. She can take a year off from school after she does that.â
Fu Jin massaged his brows. âBut she signed a contract to earn money for me.â
Tang Beibei scratched her head helplessly. Ruan Qiâs pregnancy was an accident and unplanned.
âAbout that, whatâs the penalty if she breaks her contract? You can contact Song Zhou about it. Iâm sure he will think of a way to compensate you.â Fu Jin waved his hand. âIt isnât so much about the money. I just feel that Ruan Qi is still so young. If she has a baby now, she will neglect her training. It will be hard for her to pick it up again in the future.â
Tang Beibei sighed. âThere are many things we want to do in life. If she feels that something is more important than dancing, itâs her choice. We donât have to feel sorry for her.â
Fu Jin chuckled. âWhen did you become so philosophical?â
Tang Beibei was embarrassed. She giggled and said, âCaptain, although Qiqi canât train now, Iâll work doubly hard to make her share of the money back for you!â
Fu Jin said, âThereâs a show. If you can win, Iâll put you in the center spot for our dance troupe.â
âWhat show?â
Fu Jin took out a document from his bag and showed it to Tang Beibei.
âAsian Golden Age Dance Competition?â
âAlthough you won the championship in âDancing Youthâ, itâs a competition organized by the local television station, hence not too popular and didnât give you enough visibility.â
âThis Golden Age competition is organized at the country level. The show, when aired, will definitely get more eyeballs. But at the same time, the requirements for professionalism would be higher.â
Tang Beibei felt a little conflicted. âWill I qualify?â
âWeâll only know after you try. Beibei, help me earn money.â
â⦠Okay, Iâll sign up.â
Tang Beibei sighed. Her boss had given her an assignment. She was just a little trainee, so she couldnât turn it down.
I will give you girls a few training sessions before the competition. As for whether you will succeed, it will depend on your individual performance.â
âUs girls?â
âYou, Ye Lan, Xi Tong, and Chen Xixi.â
Fu Jinâs tone became serious as he continued, âYouâre not close with them but it shouldnât affect your dance training. Theyâre also quite capable. My main concern as the boss is making money, not personal relationships.â
âI understand. I donât mean it any other way. Iâll train hard. Competition is the only way to improve.â
In any case, all the trainees compete secretly during dance training and assessments at the dance studio.
Ye Lan always had the best results.
She suffered from abnormal emotions at the last competition, which led to her mistakes. Otherwise, Tang Beibei was not sure if she could have won the championship.
After getting Ruan Qiâs leave slip from Fu Jin, Tang Beibei went to the library to borrow a few books.
Fu Jin saw that her school bag was stuffed and took it from her.
âSo many books. Youâre already so tired from dance training every day, but you can still read?â
âQiqi is nourishing her pregnancy and Iâm borrowing some books for her to read. Iâve also borrowed some for myself. Since I havenât decided on my future career yet, I canât neglect my studies.â
âThen, letâs work hard together.â
Fu Jinâs family was in the healthcare business. His parents had hoped that he would study medicine. He didnât hate it, but compared to dancing, it wasnât his favorite.
Therefore, he was also taking care of his studies as well as his dance career.
After school, when the two of them walked out of the school gate, they heard someone calling out to Tang Beibei.
Tang Beibei turned her head in confusion, only to find herself being grabbed by an aggressive middle-aged man who shouted angrily, âTang Beibei, where are you hiding my daughter, Ruan Qi?â
Tang Beibei frowned. She knew this woman. She was Ruan Qiâs mother.
Excuse me, Auntie, why are you looking for Ruan Qi?â
â âWhy? Youâre so young yet youâve gone astray living a messy private life. You shamelessly married a rich second-generation heir and even led my daughter astray. Hurry up and tell me where my Ruan Qi is. I want to take her home!â
Tang Beibei felt unhappy when she was suddenly scolded by an elder.
But she didnât want to argue with Ruan Qiâs mother. So, she turned to leave.
However, Ruan Qiâs mother grabbed her arm tightly. âDonât go. Donât even think about leaving if you donât tell me where my daughter is. Believe it or not, Iâll call the police now!â
She even berated her indignantly, âYouâve led my daughter astray. Iâm going to destroy your reputationandpunish you!â
Fu Jin saw her grabbing Tang Beibeiâs arm and Tang Beibei frowning as she failed to shake her off.
He went forward, pulled Tang Beibei away and stood between her and Ruan Qiâs mother.
âAuntie, Ruan Qi is fine now, but Tang Beibei is only Ruan Qiâs classmate, not her guardian. Besides, Ruan Qi is an adult. She can distinguish right from wrong.â
âAs her mother, you can be unsupportive, but please donât hurt others!â
âWho are you?â Ruan Qiâs mother frowned at him.
âIâm Fu Jin, Ruan Qiâs class monitor.â
Ruan Qiâs mother immediately scolded, âI know you. Youâre the class monitor
who takes Ruan Qi away after school every day. Class monitor is a nice-sounding title but who knows what dirty things youâre doing behind the scenes.â
âSince you know that my daughter is fine, take me to her. My daughter must have been deceived by both of you.â
Ruan Qiâs mother cursed angrily as she pointed at Fu Jin. The students around them started watching the commotion.
âI sent her to university to study. But she met unruly classmates like you who
led her astray. Give me back my daughter!â
Tang Beibei saw that more onlookers were gathering around them. Everyone was looking at them strangely as if she and Fu Jin were human traffickers.
She suppressed her anger and patiently persuaded Ruan Qiâs mother.
âAuntie, please calm down. I didnât ask Ruan Qi to do anything. Ruan Qiâs phone
is spoiled. Sheâll call you when she gets a new phone.â
Ruan Qiâs mother retorted, âIf she didnât do anything, why is she living with a man as his mistress?â
âShe has been led astray by you all. You are still trying to fool me and not let me see my daughter. Youâre a bad person, a b*tch!â
Tang Beibei took a deep breath. As a mother, was it really okay to call her own daughter someoneâs mistress in public?
It was no wonder Ruan Qi was unwilling to share her troubles with her family, choosing instead to start a family with Song Zhou.
With such an unreasonable mother, she would suffocate every day!
Ruan Qiâs mother thought that she had exposed Tang Beibei evil deeds and Tang Beibei was feeling guilty when she kept quiet.
She became more aggressive and spat, âI didnât let her dance because thatâs something that only indecent girls do.â
âIf she wants to study medicine, then she should study hard and become a doctor. But she just doesnât listen. She must have been led astray by you guys. She used to be very obedient.â
Tang Beibei and Fu Jin looked at each other and finally understood why Ruan
Qi didnât want to tell her family about her dancing.
It turned out that her mother thought that dancing was indecent.
What era did they live in now? Dancing and singing was freedom and a hobby. How did it become something indecent?
Tang Beibei gritted her teeth as she failed to reason with Ruan Qiâs mother while being gawked at.
Fu Jin asked her softly, âAre you bringing her to see Ruan Qi?â
Tang Beibei shook her head firmly. âRuan Qi is nourishing her pregnancy now. If she quarrels with her mother and gets agitated. If serious, it can lead to miscarriage.â
Fu Jin frowned.. What a dilemma!
