If it weren't for the marriage with the Gu family, Chen Niannian would not have left so resolutely.
A blind marriage, and with a poor countryman, only the old hag could do such a thing. Back then, she used a trick to push the marriage to Su Zhaodi. She knew that Su Zhaodi had someone she liked, but she still did something that was beneficial to herself. The old hag knew it all, so from then on, her attitude towards her became worse.
At this juncture, it was impossible for her to return to Xiangyang Village again.
"Mom, I'm your biological daughter, you..." Chen Niannian was about to continue to play the victim when the phone was hung up with a bang.
The emaciated father Chen was waiting outside with a dung bucket on his shoulder. Seeing his wife's serious expression, he asked worriedly, "Is there something wrong every year?!"
Chen's mother burst into tears and pounded her chest, "You ungrateful bastard! You've spoiled him like this!"
She regretted it.
I shouldn’t have sent Su Niannian back to her hometown in the first place!
…
The provincial capitals in the northwest are metropolises.
What was going on was the annual routine provincial capital tour. In addition to the local art troupe, there were also many teams from other provinces participating. As soon as they got off the train, Su Niannian and others met the art troupe from Hai City. Those fashionable girls were all very beautiful, and even their heights were similar. They were like rows of iconic poplars, attracting the attention of people around them.
Jiang Xiaofei changed her arrogant attitude on the train and stood in front of the team to warn everyone: "We all come from Ning County. If anyone does something that harms the collective, don't blame me for being rude to her! The person in charge this time is Su Niannian from Team 2. You should be familiar with her. From now on, all of you will follow her command--!"
After saying this, she trotted into the team.
Su Niannian, who was standing in the back row, strode forward. She had led teams on tour countless times and was already very familiar with the process. Even the smallest details did not attract criticism. Jiang Xiaofei, who wanted to find fault, gave up. Apart from occasionally glaring at her and Liu Tao, the other party did not do anything out of line.
All art troupes coming to the provincial capital have fixed quotas.
The provincial government vacated the guesthouse early in the morning and let all the female comrades stay there. There were twenty of them in their group, and except for going to the toilet, they practiced and rehearsed together. The art troupe in the provincial capital was much larger than the county one, and there were even three practice rooms for them to choose from.
In order to get everyone into the mood earlier, Su Niannian took them to the art troupe to familiarize themselves with the venue after lunch. What she didn't expect was that she would meet an acquaintance in this place.
As the leader of the team, Jiang Xiaofei's basic skills are unquestionable. She can master many moves after learning them once. While others were practicing hard to achieve their best, she had already slipped away through the back door to check the performances of other teams. It was not until her energetic scolding came from the corridor that Su Niannian, who was immersed in dancing, noticed that there was someone missing from the practice room.
She frowned slightly, subconsciously put on her soft-soled training shoes and walked out, appearing silently behind the two of them.
"That's because I don't want to go. Otherwise, how could there be a place for you?!"
"Jiang Xiaofei, you will probably be so stubborn even after you die. Is it that hard for you to say you are not as good as me? If you say a few nice words, I can give you the DVD of the performance of the Imperial Capital Art Troupe last year. You people from this poor and remote area probably don't understand what it means to keep up with the international standards..."
The girl facing Jiang Xiaofei was wearing a white shirt and had short hair that reached her ears, revealing a fair neck. She had long legs and was wearing a pair of black leather shoes. She could smell the perfume in the air even before she got close to her.
Very fashionable.
"No matter how remote the place is, you still came here eagerly. It's hard to say who will win or lose."
"Captain Jiang!" Su Niannian stopped the other party from speaking next in time. They came to the tour to communicate and cooperate, so there was no need to put the win or loss on the table. After hearing Su Niannian's voice, the girl in the white shirt stiffened almost invisibly. All the strength around her faded away, and she turned to look at Su Niannian in panic.
The word "cousin" got stuck in my throat.
Chen Ye blinked her eyes, her nose felt sore. She didn't refute even when Jiang Xiaofei mocked her for staring straight at her. It was not until they avoided others and came to the backyard that Su Niannian breathed a sigh of relief. She said softly, "Captain Jiang is a person with a hard mouth but a soft heart. Don't take it to heart. Let's learn together and make progress together."
Chen Ye rushed forward to hug her, his voice low: "Sister! Why are you here?! Second aunt and the others said that you went abroad. The art troupe in the imperial capital is simply boring without you. Chen Niannian is that ugly thing. She can't even walk on the stage. Second aunt wanted to give her the recommendation letter at the beginning. I..."
"Stop talking, she is your cousin."
"..."
All the rumors seemed to be confirmed. Chen Ye's face darkened. After a while, she managed to say, "Anyway, I only recognize you."
Among the younger generations of the Chen family, Su Niannian had always been the most outstanding one and the benchmark for their progress. Suddenly, she was replaced by the wild boar Chen Niannian. Everyone was speechless. What was worse was that Chen's father and mother acted too quickly. Before all the relatives could recover from the joy of Su Niannian's return, they found out that she had disappeared.
Chen Ye cried a lot because of this incident. She wanted to pull Su Niannian aside to reminisce about the past, but she told her that the relationship was confidential and that Chen Niannian in the imperial capital was a thing of the past and there was no need to mention her.
Chen Ye was extremely reluctant, but he had no choice but to respect his cousin's wishes.
When the two returned from the backyard of the art troupe, they unexpectedly saw Jiang Xiaofei half leaning against the wall. The smile on Chen Ye's face froze slightly, and he quickly let go of Su Niannian's hand.
"Comrade Su, then...see you tomorrow night. I look forward to your performance." Chen Ye curled his lips and left happily.
Su Niannian walked towards the practice room calmly. Halfway through, a pair of hands blocked her way. Jiang Xiaofei raised her eyebrows: "Su Niannian, are you here to participate in the tour or to make friends? Why didn't I see before that your ambition is bigger than your face? You can even get in touch with people from the Imperial Capital Art Troupe. You are not a simple character!
No wonder you treat me, the squad leader, as you please. Don't forget which unit you belong to! As for the dance we practiced, you'd better keep your mouth shut, or you'll be chewed to pieces!"
"Do I need you to remind me of the dance I choreographed?!" Su Niannian actually didn't want to deal with these interpersonal relationships. She just wanted to simply dance, perform, and go further and further.
This kind of cold and arrogant attitude is comparable to Jiang Xiaofei's. She relies on the confidence given by her biological father, but what does Su Niannian rely on? !
The other party raised her foot and walked away. Jiang Xiaofei grabbed her arm and swung her back: "What's your attitude? Don't think you can go to heaven just because Deputy Captain Zhang is on your side!"
"Hiss!" The sudden pull broke the taut string in Su Niannian's mind. Her face turned pale instantly, and a sharp pain came from her abdomen, making her unstable.
All the changes happened in an instant.
Jiang Xiaofei saw her lips that were so white that they looked almost bloodless, and felt a little guilty: "What are you doing?! Are you trying to scam me? I didn't use any strength, are you really that weak? Su Niannian, I'm telling you, don't even think about touching me..."
Before he could finish his words, the other person's eyes went dark and he fainted.
