Yun Qiao seemed to understand what Cui Xuezhi meant.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at Yan Jingwan.
Yan Jingwan acted as if she hadn't noticed anything, even looking worried as she asked Cui Xuezhi for her opinion: "The best of both worlds solution you mentioned isn't bad, but who can we find to replace it? Xuezhi, how about you give me some advice?"
But Yun Qiao didn't quite believe that Yan Jingwan didn't notice Cui Xuezhi's plan.
A girl who could raise herself into a beautiful rose under the nose of her black-hearted stepmother must be very meticulous. How could she not notice Cui Xuezhi's simple little plan?
Yun Qiao was more inclined to let her take advantage of the situation, so he withdrew his gaze from her and waited to see what would happen.
As expected, as soon as Yan Jingwan finished speaking, Cui Xuezhi jumped out eagerly: "Sister Jingwan, I don't really mind, but I have practiced the piece "Golden Phoenix Blossoms" before, and I dance it quite well. If you need me, I am very willing to help you."
"You?" Yan Jingwan glanced at her with a half-smile, then shook her head at Cui Xuezhi's expectant gaze. "Forget it. Xuezhi, your wedding is in a week. All you have to do now is happily prepare for your wedding and wait to be Comrade Dingbang's bride. Keep all these worries to yourself. The bride is the most important person in the world. Don't let these worries affect your mood while preparing for your wedding."
"Sister Jingwan, you are being distant with me by saying these things. You are in trouble right now. I want to help you and I am willing to share your worries." Cui Xuezhi was anxious. Ever since Yan Jingwan came to the Military Region Art Troupe, she had not been able to perform on stage for a long time. It was not easy to wait for an opportunity, and she was unwilling to give up just like that no matter what.
Cui Xuezhi quickly said, "The performance is just a matter of a few days. It will be over after the performance. It won't affect me."
Yan Jingwan still shook her head. "Forget it. The dance moves for 'Golden Phoenix's Crown' are quite difficult and require a very high level of basic skills. You're still a little short of your current level. If I force you, and if something goes wrong and affects the marriage, your comrade Dingbang will definitely not forgive me."
"No, Sister Jingwan, I'm really familiar with this piece, there won't be any problems."
Seeing she couldn't be persuaded, Cui Xuezhi leaned forward again and tugged at Liang's arm through the gap between the front and back rows. "Auntie, please try to persuade Sister Jingwan again. She injured her foot and can't go on, and she won't let me go. You can't just cross the program off the schedule like that, right? If you do that, what will become of all the hard work everyone's put into rehearsals over the past month or two?"
Cui Xuezhi shook Liang's arm and pleaded softly, "Auntie, you can't bear to see so many people's hard work go to waste, right?"
Cui Xuezhi's expression was so obvious that Commander Liang naturally understood what she meant.
Jingwan sprained her ankle and couldn't go on stage, so Xuezhi wanted to take her place and perform as a dancer.
But Jingwan was unwilling to do so, as she felt that her basic skills were not good enough and she did not have the ability to become a dancer.
Although Commander Liang was Cui Xuezhi's aunt, he was a fair and impartial person. He wouldn't blindly favor her like her other relatives did. However, he also didn't want to hurt Cui Xuezhi's reputation in front of others, so he coughed lightly to cover up and said, "Xuezhi, Jingwan didn't mean to cross the program off the list. She's still trying to find a solution! Don't worry, talk to Jingwan slowly. I believe she will seriously consider your proposal."
As he spoke, Commander Liang looked at Yan Jingwan.
Yan Jingwan nodded slightly.
Of course she would seriously consider it.
She is not a person with a weak temper. If Cui Xuezhi dares to deliberately cause her to sprain her ankle, she must have the courage to bear her anger.
Cui Xuezhi was a little unhappy because she failed to put pressure on Yan Jingwan through Commander Liang.
She wasn't one to hide her anger. She was angry, and it showed on her face naturally: "Think of a solution? What else can I think of? Today is the 17th, and the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. It's just two days. Sister Jingwan, if you don't let me go, you can't go yourself with an injured ankle, right?"
"You said my basic skills weren't strong enough, that I wasn't quite up to par. But no matter how weak my skills are, they're still better than you dragging your injured leg up on stage." Cui Xuezhi's lips curled up in a mocking arc. "Sister Jingwan, you can't even walk right now. Are you sure you'll be able to perform on stage in two days? Also, 'Golden Phoenix Crescent' has several 360-degree spins. Are you sure you can do them? Don't let yourself fail to spin and then fall to the ground in front of the 1,500 people in the auditorium. That would be a laughing stock. When that happens, where will your dignity as the principal dancer be?"
Seeing that Cui Xuezhi's words were becoming more and more sarcastic, Commander Liang frowned.
Why didn't he realize before that Xuezhi was such a reckless person?
Can you say such words in front of Yan Jingwan?
"Xuezhi! Shut up!" Commander Liang glared at her angrily. "How dare you curse people before you even get on stage? Apologize to Jingwan!"
"I'm sorry." Cui Xuezhi was afraid of Master Liang, and under his authority, she reluctantly lowered her head and argued, "Auntie, you know me. I'm quick-witted and not very good with words, but I really don't have any bad intentions. I'm doing this for Sister Jingwan. After all, Sister Jingwan has an injured foot, and I'm afraid she'll insist on going on stage. A dancer's feet are so precious. If forcing her to perform with an injury worsens it, it would be a disaster."
