Qin Cuifen had always cared about her looks and dressed better than Sheng Ning. She was also more smooth-tongued and got along much better with everyone else. But Qin Cuifen couldn’t see these things. She only cared about Sheng Ning’s looks.

When Qin Cuifen thought of Shen Jianguo, who was watching in the audience, the hatred in her heart became even more scorching. Shen Jianguo was the son of an official. He came from a noble family and didn’t have any bad habits. He worked hard at the Research Institute and excelled at his job. When Qin Cuifen first saw him, her heart fluttered. But despite all the “coincidental encounters” that she designed, his gaze never fell on her.

What was even worse was that this b*tch Sheng Ning also liked him. What kind of woman wouldn’t like an outstanding man like Shen Jianguo? But Qin Cuifen blamed Sheng Ning for everything anyway, adding to her hatred for her.

As she thought about this, Qin Cuifen became possessed with rage. When the song neared its end, she tossed the soybeans that she had prepared earlier under Sheng Ning’s feet.

During her dance, Sheng Ning suddenly slipped. Memories of her tragic past life poured into her mind. She recalled how she had made a fool of herself in the previous life and broke her ankle, how she had shamelessly fought against Qin Cuifen in front of the entire audience.

No… this time she couldn’t make the same mistake again.

Sheng Ning’s body fell forward uncontrollably. As she fell, she tried to steady herself with the agile techniques she had learned in jail, but she was suddenly pushed from behind. If she hadn’t been pushed, she could have steadied herself and taken a perfect ending bow.

When Sheng Ning fell off the stage, everyone gasped in shock, except for Qin Cuifen. The moment she fell off the stage, Sheng Ning saw a strange smile on the corner of Qin Cuifen’s lips.

Sheng Ning wasn’t willing to reconcile. As she lost control of her body, she put all her weight on her toes, then grabbed Qin Cuifen’s skirt. A “RRRRIP” accompanied the thump of her fall.

Yang Wenying was both angry and anxious in her seat. When she saw Sheng Ning fall, she was about to call her assistant to go save her, but then she saw several officials suddenly stand up. Before she could get a clear look, a tall figure made it to the stage in a few strides. But the accident happened too suddenly, and he had been sitting too far away, so in the end he wasn’t able to catch the falling girl.

The moment Sheng Ning hit the ground, she felt a stabbing pain in her ankle and wanted to cry.

The music in the assembly hall stopped. If not for the fact that all the officials of the General Union were there, there would have been a huge commotion. This was the first time there had ever been such a great slip-up at such an important evening party. The Song and Dance Ensemble had really embarrassed itself.

There was no way Qin Cuifen could have fooled anyone with that push, but luckily the lighting in the assembly hall was dim, so she could just deny it.

Qin Cuifen acted very anxious. “Sheng Ning, are you all right? I… I wanted to pull you.” Qin Cuifen burst into tears as she spoke. She looked delicate and pitiful, but inside she was silently celebrating. ‘Hahaha… Throw a fit! Make a great commotion! Scream! Let the entire Union see how shallow this woman with a beautiful face is, how mean and harsh.’

Qin Cuifen couldn’t conceal the smile on her face, but suddenly she felt a chill on her legs. Countless pairs of eyes were glued to her. She could even hear people gulping.

Qin Cuifen felt around with her hands, then began screaming hysterically. She… she was only wearing a pair of underwear! Her beautiful pale legs were exposed to the air. When Sheng Ning fell off the stage, she managed to yank off Qin Cuifen’s skirt.
