Yang Xin left the dance studio angrily with the two Zhou sisters. Xia He remained calm. She had already expected this outcome and was not surprised by what happened today."My goodness, Xia He, you actually dissed Yang Xin! You won't have an easy time in the future!" her colleague said.
"Why? Can she eat me up? I didn't do anything. As if she can kick up a fuss," Xia He was unfazed as she replied.
She actually had some knowledge of Yang Xin's secrets and it was all thanks to Xia Wen. Otherwise, she would never know. It was not really Yang Xin's secrets, but rather those of her husband, Bian Zhuo.
Bian Zhuo worked in administration and Xia Wen's friend happened to be Bian Zhuo's colleague. In the past few years, he found out that Bian Zhuo often played cheap tricks behind everyone's back and told Xia Wen all about it.
As long as Xia He had this information in her hands, Yang Xin would not dare to bully her. Her stand was that she would not attack unless provoked. As long as Yang Xin knew her place, everyone would coexist just fine. Otherwise, she would make sure Yang Xin did not have an easy time!
"What have you been doing all these years? We all miss you very much, but we don't dare to go to your house to look for you. Your mother is really too fierce!" the colleague said aggrievedly.
Although everyone respected Xu Lan very much, they were also afraid of Xu Lan's training methods. She was really the devil!
In the past, they used to sympathize with Xia He for having suffered through Xu Lan's devilish torture since she was young. However, the training was indeed effective. Xia He's basic skills had always been better than any of them.
"My mother is just unsmiling. Actually, she's a very gentle person," Xia He said.
"Gentle! How is that possible! I've never seen Professor Xu smile!" her colleague said.
Xia He remained silent. She had gone home once recently and had seen Xi Lan beaming with joy. She was always smiling and even hummed a tune at times.
It was probably because she was in a good mood after doing all those things for Qiao Mei. It had nothing to do with her own children at all.
"You'll know in the future," Xia He said mysteriously.
Life in the art troupe could be described as simple and tiring at the same time. Every day, they would practice their basic skills, prepare for their performance items as well as audition for roles.
For the past few days, everyone had been practicing non-stop in order to compete for the female lead role. Xia He also seized every minute and every second, unwilling to waste any time at all.
Whether she was chosen or not was secondary. The key thing was that the main judge for the female lead audition this time round was her mother!
If she embarrassed Xu Lan, she would not be able to go home!
During this period of time, Qian'e had been living with a relative of the Xia family in a small house in the countryside. It was quiet and warm there and her days were carefree and happy.
Without Old Madam Qian's scoldings, Zhao Ni's weak pleas for mercy and Qian Wang's relentless accusations, everything was so beautiful.
However, she was about to leave this place soon. Xia Wen had sent someone to inform her that there was already an outcome regarding the matter with He Mei.
No one would be able to threaten her personal safety by now. At the thought of returning to the Qian family house, she wanted time to pass slower so that her happy days could last longer.
"Sigh… Why can't such a good life continue…" Qian'e said, feeling distressed.
Auntie Xia laughed and said, "Don't tell me you want to stay with me for the rest of your life! Well, my son is not married yet! Why don't you just marry into our family!"
Qian'e lowered her head, feeling a sense of low self-esteem. Auntie Xia was a nice person and her son had also taken good care of Qian'e these past two days, but a person like her had no right to hold back someone's future.
Putting aside the fact that these were relatives of the Xia family, she was a divorcee and she could not have children. How could she carry on the family line for Auntie Xia's family? She could not even handle those annoying matters related to the Qian family, so how could she have the cheek to trouble Auntie Xia's family.
She would just live like this for the rest of her life. She could not affect the future of such a good person.
"It's alright if you want to take me in as your goddaughter! I dare not go beyond my social standing and marry your son. It will benefit you more to take me in as your daughter rather than taking me in as your daughter-in-law!" Qian'e said with a smile.
Auntie Xia already knew everything about Qian'e. Xia Wen had been very upfront with her. Otherwise, would they take in a stranger so casually?
They were supporters of the Xia family and had also received honors in the military in the past. However, they were all tired of living in the city and wanted to return to the countryside to farm and live and work in peace. That was why they settled down here.
