Chapter 288 Losing Face



The comrades pushed open the bathroom door, and a cool breeze blew in their faces.

It seems Jiang Pei opened the windows for a long time to ventilate the room and dispel the smell, but it was a bit too cold and biting in the middle of winter.

"Finished? Jiang Pei, you're really something! I've never helped my parents with their bodily functions before, but this is the first time I've done it for you!"

Do you know what your comrades call you outside? They call you "Jet Plane"!

The young girl, covered in sweat from cleaning, was carrying a bucket of mop when the cold bathroom sent a shiver down her spine.

She was already annoyed that the cool guys had taken so long to clean up, so seeing Jiang Pei naturally made her feel bad, and she couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.

Seeing this, her other comrades tugged at her arm, signaling her to stop talking.

But the fire had flared up and wouldn't go out anytime soon.

"What are you afraid of? If you dare to do it, why are you afraid of what others will say? I've really opened my eyes today since I joined the army. This is the first time I've seen anything like this."

It's ridiculous! If she actually pulled a poop on stage, the whole country's performing arts troupes would probably know about this joke within a week!

The little girl emptied the water, and the mop bucket clattered loudly as it was thrown down.

Jiang Pei stood barefoot in the cold wind, rinsing her pants. Her lips were frozen purple, and the beads of sweat on her hair had long since frozen into ice.

Each strand of hair stood upright, as if it had crawled out of an ice hole in the dead of winter.

She turned around and retorted angrily, but her voice was extremely hoarse.

"It's all that bitch Xia Enruo's fault! It's her! It was the pastries she gave me that were the problem! Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state."

Xia Enruo truly deserves to die! How dare she torture me like this! I will never forgive her!

Jiang Pei's voice was trembling, her purple lips were shaking, and her hands were frozen and purplish-red as she rubbed her filthy pants.

His comrades immediately felt disgusted upon hearing this.

Everyone knows that after Chief of Staff Gu got married, she was so angry she wanted to bite everyone she saw; she was practically a madwoman.

Seeing how outstanding the chief of staff's wife was, he became even more furious and spoke ill of her behind her back.

Sometimes, someone would be on the phone in the duty room, cursing Xia Enruo to others.

Judging by their posture, it was as if they wanted to tear someone to pieces and suck out their marrow and break their bones.

Even in such a disheveled state today, he still had the audacity to curse at the whole family. It's a good thing that the Chief of Staff's wife brought him pastries and black tea before he went on stage.

Everyone felt warm all over after eating and drinking, and had more energy to dance. But she repaid kindness with enmity.

It's like a dog biting Lü Dongbin – they don't appreciate a kind heart!

"Hey Jiang Pei, watch your mouth! What did Xia Enruo do to offend you? We give her food and drink, and you don't appreciate it!"

"We all ate the same thing and nothing happened, you're just making a fuss! You're not feeling well and you're blaming others, you've really wasted the Chief of Staff's family's sincere feelings for the cultural troupe."

"Pah! She's not that kind of person!"

Jiang Pei spat out a hoarse spit.

After hearing this, the girls exchanged glances and showed expressions of disgust.

"Everyone knows you like someone else's husband, but has the chief of staff ever given you a second glance? Don't waste your energy, Jiang Pei, look at yourself in this pathetic state."

If Chief of Staff Gu knew you were a jet plane, he'd probably avoid you for miles around!

"Hahaha!!! That's hilarious. You're right, you're famous now. Your comrades all say you were pulling and running at the same time."

This skill probably requires eight or ten years of practice to master!

"Jiang Pei, if you're incompetent and your stomach can't keep up with your appetite, don't blame other people's pastries for not pleasing to your taste. We've eaten all those pastries, and we're still perfectly fine."

The more you jump, the more energetic you get. It's your own fault for being so useless! Other people's bellies can give birth to two giant sticks, but yours can only hold a pile of poop!

"Alright, stop playing the victim. Where's that arrogant, bullying attitude you used to have? Why aren't you here today?"

Hao Tuan told us to tell you that all your performances today have been canceled, and you won't be leading the dance in "Youth" anymore. I think the job of cleaning toilets in the art troupe is more suitable for you.

So that when you're in a rush and can't pull up your pockets! Hahahaha!!!

"I'm dying of laughter! Girls, let's go! It'll be our turn soon. We won't be as relaxed as her, washing our pants with our butts naked!!! Hahaha!"

The cold wind inside the bathroom made the wooden door sway back and forth, after his comrades finished their sarcastic remarks and left.

Jiang Pei almost fainted. She threw her pants into the pool and bit her lip so hard it bled.

Feeling both cold and angry, I suddenly experienced waves of twisting pain in my stomach.

Jiang Pei clutched her stomach, her face contorted with pain as she gaped, too afraid to utter a sound.

He was afraid that his comrades would hear the noise and come back to laugh at him.

She was already dehydrated and had no strength left.

She was suffering from unbearable abdominal pain, but she had no evidence to prove that Xia Enruo was involved, so she could only suffer in silence.

Could it really be as my comrade said, that my body is failing me and I'm letting the ball down at the crucial moment?

The pain returned, and she no longer had the strength to think about anything else.

The moment Xia Enruo saw Jiang Pei run off the stage, she knew the attack had started.

Gu Shaoying excitedly whispered in her sister-in-law's ear:

"Sister-in-law, look! Jiang Pei ran downstairs, she must have a stomachache!"

Xia Enruo made a quiet gesture, signaling her younger sister not to get carried away and give herself away.

Gu Shaoying understood her sister-in-law's meaning and suppressed her emotions, returning to her original seat.

Jiang Pei was never seen in the following programs.

If Xia Enruo knew, she definitely wouldn't be able to get out of bed.

"Serves her right! She brought this on herself. Not only has she made things difficult for herself at every turn, but now she's even plotting against her own child. This is unacceptable!"

Now I understand what it means to be a mother's strength! She's willing to risk her life to protect her children. It's more than just embarrassing Jiang Pei.

Even if it were Jiang Pei, she could make them regret it.

Only now could she understand how Ge Qiuqin felt when she learned that her child had been lost.

That kind of despair and helplessness, even if you gave her ten million from the sky, she would probably be indifferent and treat it like dirt.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhicheng has recovered and been discharged from the hospital without any major problems. He will be able to return to school after the Chinese New Year.

Although there is still no news about Zhang Yanni, Xia Enruo's intuition tells her that she is still alive, just in some corner of the country, waiting to be discovered!

After the performance, it was too late, so everyone had to spend the night at the guesthouse.

To ensure Gu Shaoying could get a good night's rest, they made sure she didn't sleep with the child and booked her a separate room.

She was terrified by what happened these past two days, and it will take her a while to process it all.

After putting the child to sleep, Xia Enruo felt quite tired today.

Gu Shaoxuan had drunk quite a bit of alcohol. After helping to put the child to sleep, he started getting restless...
