Chapter 96 - 96: Just Looking At His Face Tells You That He’s Not a Good Person

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Sunday afternoon…

Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi went to their commercial performance. It was a store opening and they hired dancers to warm up the scene.

Because it was a publicity event held at an open-air venue, Tang Beibei wore an appropriate costume and even put on heavy makeup.

She was extremely nervous when she went on stage but when the music started, she focused all her attention on the dance and slowly relaxed.

More and more people gathered around to watch the show. Jiang Jingchen, who was sitting not far away and having coffee, looked at his wife’s revealing midriff costume. His beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, and he lost his appetite for coffee.

Song Zhou turned his head to watch Tang Beibei’s dance on stage. He was a little surprised as she was usually reserved, an introvert who occasionally showed mischief when she was lively. This was the first time he had seen her with such heavy makeup.

Suddenly, he heard a sinister question, “Is my wife pretty?”

H 11

Song Zhou quickly retracted his gaze and complained in his heart that Jiang Jingchen had double standards.

There were so many people watching, yet he was not allowed to watch. Ruthless!

There were performing three dances in total. When night fell and the lights came on, more people turned up for the event and the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

Jiang Jingchen looked at his wife, who was covered in sweat. The shop owner didn’t even offer her a bottle of water, so he asked Song Zhou to do something.

Song Zhou quickly went to find someone to bring Tang Beibei some water.

He also felt helpless. His prodigal young master had left a meeting that was worth tens of millions of yuan to come watch his wife earn a few hundred yuan.

Sigh, it’s really tragic!

After the second dance, Tang Beibei was so tired that she wiped her sweat with a tissue the moment they were off stage. Ruan Qi told her to be gentle and not ruin her makeup.

Tang Beibei didn’t dare to wipe her sweat and fanned herself with her hands. Suddenly, a shop assistant handed them two canned drinks and even found them seats. They felt really flattered.

The store manager had actually hired another group who could sing and dance. There were seven or eight beautiful women in that group, and they were taking turns on stage with Ruan Qi and Tang Beibei.

However, the manager’s attitude towards them was completely different. He flattered and fawned over the girl group, but he was very unfriendly toward Ruan Qi and Tang Beibei.

The two of them looked at each other. Could it be that their performance was better?

Tang Beibei took the drinks and thanked the shop assistant. Ruan Qi took out some cosmetics to touch up their makeup and talked to Tang Beibei about Fu Jin.

“Fu Jin’s dance troupe is legit. They can go on many platforms. I heard that they can even participate in talent shows. If we could join them, we wouldn’t have to run around for commercial performances like this.”

Tang Beibei murmured an acknowledgment. She couldn’t reject Ruan Qi, so she said, “His dance troupe has high expectations too. Let’s try out best.”

However, she had no confidence in joining Fu Jin’s dance troupe.

Ruan Qi nodded with a smile and hoped that both of them would pass their auditions and join Fu Jin’s dance troupe.

The two of them changed their hairstyles and costumes. When the emcee invited them to go on stage, Tang Beibei quickly got up and went on stage with Ruan Qi.

When the music ended, the two of them concluded their last move, and the audience applauded.

Tang Beibei got off the stage and was talking to Ruan Qi about what to eat after they received their pay when a man called out to her.

“Tang Beibei, nice to see you again!”

Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi were surprised to see Song Hai appear out of nowhere. However, they felt more guilty than surprise because of how they had tricked him last time.

“Hello. Please excuse us because we have to go do something.”

“Hey, Tang Beibei, your dance today was very exciting. This bouquet of flowers is for you.” Song Hai smiled and gave her a big bouquet of roses.

Tang Beibei frowned. “Mr. Song, are you mistaken? Rong Chan’er is your girlfriend. You’ve given these to the wrong person.”

Song Hai shrugged helplessly. His decent suit made him look very tall and spirited. Coupled with his fashionable hairstyle, he looked quite handsome.

He explained, “Rong Chan’er and 1 broke up a long time ago. She’s the one who let me down. Tang Beibei, I really admire your dancing. You deserve this bouquet of flowers.”

Tang Beibei’s eyes flashed with annoyance. “Thank you for your compliment but I won’t accept the flowers. I’m married and can’t just accept anyone’s flowers.”

Song Hai smiled calmly and said with the modesty of a rich young master, “That doesn’t matter. I admire you very much and wanted to give you flowers.”

Tang Beibei took a deep breath and explained again, “I’m sorry, Mr. Song. I don’t like roses.”

“In that case, 1 made a mistake. What flowers does Miss Tang like then?”

The corners of Tang Beibei’s mouth twitched. Why should she tell him what flowers she liked? It had nothing to do with him.

She pulled Ruan Qi, turned and walked away. Ruan Qi covered her mouth as she chuckled after watching the scene.

“This Song Hai looks like a decent person. He was with Rong Chan’er just a few days ago and when Rong Chan’er had a scandal, he came to find you. I wonder what he’s up to.”

Tang Beibei smiled bitterly. “I don’t know who I’ve offended.”

Ruan Qi smiled and asked, “Rong Chan’er finally managed to hook up with Song Hai. Would she mess around with other men and make Song Hai despise her?”

Tang Beibei was stunned and turned to look at Ruan Qi. “You mean Rong Chan’er was set up?”

“I think very likely. Although Rong Chan’er is cheap, she still has a brain. It wasn’t easy for her to cozy up to the Song family, so why would she fool around with other men and even make it known?”

“Besides, when Song Hai talked about Rong Chan’er just now, he didn’t feel betrayed or angry at all. Instead, he seemed to be mocking her. I feel that this matter isn’t as simple as it seems.”

Tang Beibei let out a low laugh. Ruan Qi was puzzled. “What are you laughing about?”

“Qiqi, when did you become a psychoanalyst?”

Ruan Qi laughed as well. “When you’ve heard enough gossip, you can figure out certain things. However, I feel that Song Hai is seeking you out with ill intentions. You should be more careful.”

“Yes, just looking at his face tells you that he’s not a good person.”

“His face?”

“Yeah. He has dark circles under his eyes and a few pimples below his lips. He must have overindulged in sex and suffer from indigestion. The teacher mentioned in class that some good Chinese medicine physicians can diagnose a person’s illness based on their facial features and help the patient take preventive measures.”

“… Oh.”

Ruan Qi, who slept in class often, was impressed.

The two of them went to the store manager to get their salaries. The store manager said that they had performed well and gave them an extra 1,000 yuan.

The two of them were surprised. This store manager was quite generous to actually give them an extra 1,000 yuan!

It seemed that they had really performed well. Both of them were very excited.

After the two of them left, the leader of the girl group came to get their money. When she heard that they were getting an extra 1,000 yuan, she also asked for a bonus.

The store manager pulled a long face. “They have strong backers, do you? Besides, I don’t know what the hell your dance is about! It’s completely unwatchable. I’m already being kind by not lowering your wages!”

“…” The group leader who was scolded was furious.

As soon as they walked out of the square, Tang Beibei received a call from Jiang Jingchen asking if they were done. He said that he was already at the square and was about to invite them to dinner.

Tang Beibei asked for Ruan Qi’s opinion, but Ruan Qi quickly waved her hand and declined.

Jiang Jingchen’s face was unbearable. Ruan Qi was really afraid that she would have nightmares if she saw it too much.

“You and your husband eat. I still have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”

“Okay, see you next week.”

Tang Beibei parted ways with Ruan Qi and turned to look for Jiang Jingchen, only to see Song Hai again.

She covered her face partially with her hand to make a detour but Song Hai walked up to her with a smile.

“Tang Beibei, what a coincidence. We meet again. You’re done, right? Let me treat you to dinner.”

Tang Beibei was a little annoyed. It was as if she had heard an ear-piercing noise in her calmness and it was giving her a headache.

“Sorry, I have an appointment.”

She tried to leave again, but Song Hai held out his arm to stop her. “Beibei, you don’t have to resist me. I’m just trying to make friends with you. 1 really admire your dancing.”

Tang Beibei took two steps back. She felt that Song Hai was like a fly that had flown out of a sh*t hole and was now buzzing in front of her. She would dirty her hands if she smacked it, but it would be very annoying if she didn’t.

Especially when he called her “Beibei”. It made her skin crawl.

“Thank you for your admiration, but I don’t want to be friends with you. Young Master Song, I’m not worthy of you. Please move aside.”

Song Hai saw that she was resisting and sneered.

This woman was pretending to be a virtuous woman.. If she didn’t like money and power, why would she marry Jiang Jingchen?
