1116 Give You a Ride
“If you don’t make yourself clear and give everyone an explanation, we won’t let you leave!” Yang Xin said.
Xia He frowned slightly and said, “Regarding my salary and how much I get, that’s the decision of the higher-ups. If you’re so unhappy, go and look for our superiors. What’s the use of coming to me? I don’t want to fight with you for roles in this performance. Just get out of my way. Don’t be so persistent here.”
Yang Xin continued to block Xia He and spread her hands out to prevent Xia He from leaving. She said domineeringly, “Who will believe what you say! It’s just empty talk. Who knows if what you say is true! What if you’re just bluffing us!”
“That’s right! You’re always telling lies! We won’t fall for it!” Zhou Ling echoed.
“So what does it take for you to believe me?” Xia He asked.
Zhou Ling and Yang Xin looked at each other. Zhou Ling smiled sneakily and said, “Unless… unless you break your own leg, we won’t believe what you say!”
Xia He laughed mockingly and stared at Yang Xin and Zhou Ling as if she pitied them. She kept shaking her head and sighing. Yang Xin looked at Xia He in puzzlement. Why was Xia He putting on such an expression! Did she need other people to pity her? Was there anything about her that deserved to be pitied?
“Why are you looking at me like that!” Yang Xin pointed at Xia He agitatedly.
“I’m just laughing at you for being stupid. If you have so much time to waste on me, isn’t it better for you to go and practice your basic skills? You already know in advance about the performance items, but wait until I’m here to tell everyone about it. If you’re really more capable than me, then what difference does it make whether I come or not? You attack me in a group just because you’re not as good as me. Don’t you find it embarrassing to do this,” Xia He said.
“You! How dare you say that I’m stupid!” Yang Xin had never suffered such a grievance before. She raised her hand to hit Xia He, but Xia He was not someone who could be bullied easily and started fighting with Yang Xin.
Yang Xin was no match for Xia He at all. It did not take long for her to be pressed on the ground by Xia He and she could not move at all. She also twisted her ankle by her own doing.
“Ah!!! My leg!!!” Yang Xin screamed in pain.
For dancers, their legs were the most important parts of their bodies. If they injured their legs or feet, it was tantamount to ending their lives!
“Let’s not push each other to the limit. It’ll be difficult for both of us if things turn ugly.” After saying that, Xia He stood up and patted the dust off her hands, as if she had touched something dirty. She did not even change her clothes and headed straight out the door to go home.
She felt really unfortunate to have encountered such an unlucky thing today. Next time, she must do her best to avoid Yang Xin. This woman behaved like a rabid dog going around to bite people.
“Quick, call for an ambulance! Get the troupe leader!” Zhou Ling was so frightened that she hurriedly went forward to hold Yang Xin. The whole team was in an uproar except for Deng Fan, who continued practicing in the corner. He did not care about anything that happened and pretended not to see anything.
All the male dancers who went forward to help Yang Xin were rejected by her. Yang Xin lay on the ground and shouted in Deng Fan’s direction, “Brother Deng~ It hurts~ Come and help me~”
Yang Xin made herself look so delicate and pitiful. Zhou Ling frowned and looked at her. She clearly knew that Zhou Ling was fond of Deng Fan, so what was she trying to do by calling out to him in public? Furthermore, she was already married with children, so why was she still behaving so close to other men outside?
Deng Fan picked up his bag and walked out of the door. He did not even look at Yang Xin who was still on the ground. Yang Xin was so angry that she simply fainted. As for whether she really fainted or pretended to faint, no one really knew.
Coincidentally, Xia He was driving her car from the car park to the main entrance when she saw Deng Fan. She stopped and wound down the window as she said, “Deng Fan, do you want me to give you a ride? I’m heading in the direction of your house.”
Deng Fan said in surprise, “You know where my house is?”
“Of course! I even went for a visit when I was young! Don’t tell me you don’t remember anything?” Xia He said with a smile. That bright smile made Deng Fan recall all kinds of past memories. If not for Kong Lu… Forget it, it was best not to dwell on the past.
