Zhao Xueman had a performance accident in front of the military district chief, which was equivalent to falling from the "altar".
At least for a long time, she will become the laughing stock of the entire military region.
After the accident, she sat backstage with her face covered and burst into tears. The director of the art troupe had just been scolded in front of Cheng Guoan, and he turned around and directly criticized and educated her.
As a veteran of the art troupe, such an incident brought disgrace upon the entire troupe. Therefore, her lead dancer qualification was immediately revoked, along with her title as dance team captain, and she was ordered to submit a 2,000-word written self-criticism and reflect deeply on her actions.
Because her personal mistake had led to the entire dance team being criticized by the leader, no one came forward to comfort her. Even her two closest sisters were afraid to step forward, fearing they would become the target of public criticism.
She wanted to leave this place of trouble first, but her feet hurt so much that she couldn't move.
Soon the others returned to the stage, and when she was the only one left backstage, Si Yang and Qiu Xia arrived.
Zhao Xueman didn't recognize Qiu Xia, but her eyes were fixed on Si Yang vigilantly. For some reason, she always felt that Si Yang's eyes were full of aggression.
Si Yang's eyes were sharp and he had already seen through all her little thoughts.
She curled her red lips and smiled, then pulled a stool over and sat opposite Zhao Xueman before she slowly spoke:
"I heard Comrade Zhao sprained his ankle? I figured since he was attending my wedding banquet, I should come and offer my condolences. Is the injury serious?"
"It's not serious. Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Captain."
Si Yang sneered: "It's good that it's not serious. After all, you gave me and Captain Pei such a big show at my wedding. Did you just hear those heartfelt laughter outside? Everyone is very happy, me too. Thank you, Comrade Zhao." Si Yang rubbed salt into Zhao Xueman's wounds without mercy.
Sure enough, Zhao Xueman's pretended calm expression almost got out of control. Her hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched into fists, and her teeth were gritting.
However, facing Si Yang's pressure, she cursed secretly in her heart and did not dare to show it on her face.
Si Yang pretended to be oblivious and continued to stab her. "Everyone knows that the art troupe relies on age. When it comes to dancing, as you get older, your body becomes stronger. But in my opinion, although Comrade Zhao's dancing is average, her performance is still good. I heard that just two days ago you performed a big play called "Twisted Ankle" in front of Captain Qu and his wife. I didn't expect that you would actually twist your ankle today."
When Zhao Xueman heard Si Yang mention this, her face turned even paler and uglier. She finally understood why Si Yang was so aggressive towards her.
She came to stand up for Qu Mingjun's country wife. After knowing the reason, she became much calmer.
Zhao Xueman looked at Si Yang and said calmly, "The commander's wife might have misunderstood me. I don't know what you mean. Captain Qu and I are just comrades-in-arms. As for the fact that the captain's wife can't win Captain Qu's heart, it has nothing to do with me."
Si Yang smiled coldly after hearing this. She turned her head and looked at Qiu Xia standing behind her. "Mrs. Battalion Commander, Comrade Zhao said that I misunderstood her. As the person involved, do you want to say something?"
"What? The battalion commander's wife?"
Zhao Xueman looked at the intellectual and generous woman with fashionable curly hair behind Si Yang with shocked eyes. If she hadn't confirmed her facial features repeatedly, Zhao Xueman would never have thought that this was the rustic country girl from before.
Facing Zhao Xueman's scrutiny, Qiu Xia took a deep breath and stood up. "Do you dare to say that you didn't grab my hand and frame me for pushing you that day? Do you dare to say that you didn't pretend to have Qu Mingjun send you off when you sprained your ankle that day?"
