She Lives without Regret in This Life-Chapter 293 - 298: Showing Off in a Private Car
Chapter 293 -298: Showing Off in a Private Car
After talking, the two of them walked together to Practice Room No.1, provoking surprised expressions from passersby as they walked side by side.
But even more than surprise, there was disdain and jealousy directed at Sheng Ning.
“This person really has no shame, cozying up to Teacher Qiu Bai so quickly.”
“Exactly, that sickening eagerness to climb up the ranks is showing way too fast.”
“…”
The voices of the gossipers were quiet, but that was no defense against Qiu Bai and Sheng Ning’s keen ears and eyes.
Hearing the comments, Sheng Ning acted as if she hadn’t, instead smiling broadly and nodding in greeting to those speaking behind her back.
Her delicate skin, which looked like it could burst with a puff, her naturally rosy lips, her beautifully crafted visage—all made her smile breathlessly stunning.
When she smiled at others, she made everyone else look pale by comparison.
The gossipers were simultaneously embarrassed and angry, but above all, they felt inferior and fiercely jealous.
After the two had walked away, they finally managed a choked-out statement, “That person is truly shameless!”
Qiu Bai noticed Sheng Ning’s reaction and the admiration in his eyes grew more apparent.
When they reached the entrance to Practice Room No.1, they were surprised to see a Hongqi sedan parked there with its license plate displayed.
The car door was closed, and the windows were tinted dark, obscuring the view inside unless one peered down into them.
Qiu Bai recognized the car and stopped in his tracks.
Sheng Ning recognized it too, she had only encountered it at the General Union Courtyard half a month ago.
A crowd had gathered at the entrance, Liu Yilan and Chen Huaying were there as well, and when they saw Sheng Ning approaching, they waved her over.
Meng Ping sat inside the car, scoffing, “Alright, there’s such a crowd now, you’d cause a sensation just by getting out of the car.”
Hai Lan lowered her makeup mirror, smiling gently. “What are you talking about, big brother Meng Ping? I’m just doing my makeup. Of course, I want to present myself perfectly when I come to report for the first time! It’s a matter of respect for Teacher Qiu Bai.”
“Are you sure it’s not about flaunting the President’s car?” Meng Ping’s words were sharp; he had no intention of sparing her feelings.
He had always disliked Hai Lan, ever since they were children because he knew her true nature all too well. No matter how outstanding she was, how many people adored her, in Meng Ping’s eyes, she was still the beggar girl from back then.
To him, it was madness that the Hai Family had taken her in.

“Of course not,” Hai Lan hurriedly defended, “The thing I’m happiest about is that you agreed to bring me here.”
“Enough, hurry up and get out, I can’t afford to lose this much face,” Meng Ping, feeling impatient and restless, decisively pushed the car door open and got out.
Seeing that he was in a hurry, Hai Lan quickly exited the car as well and immediately latched onto Meng Ping’s arm, presenting her most tender smile.
She was dressed in a pink coat today, and standing next to Meng Ping, she truly looked the part, drawing envious looks from onlookers.
“Wow! Who is that? She’s so pretty.”
“And she has such a great aura!”
“Look at her clothes; they must be worth a lot.”
“Mr. Meng brought her here himself; she must be pretty important.”
“Hmph! It’s not just that Meng Ping brought her; look at the car she’s in. As far as I know, that’s the President’s car, that’s the real face right there.”
“Oh my god! Doesn’t that mean she’s the most impressive one in the General Union Dance Troupe?”
“Exactly, even Chen Huaying has to defer to her by three points.”
Quiet discussions and agreements sounded among the crowd, many eyes filled with envy as they gazed at Hai Lan, greatly satisfying her vanity.
Qiu Bai’s expression was displeased, not believing hearsay without witnessing it firsthand. He remembered Hai Lan from before, seemingly not like this at all, but now, how could she do something so outrageous?
