1126 Just You Wait
“Sister Xia He! You’re here! I thought you won’t be here for a while!” said Yuan Shan, one of Xia He’s colleagues from before, as she came over happily.

“Oh, you’re still here. I thought you had gone somewhere else,” Xia He said with a polite smile.

“Where else can I go? It’s good enough that this place wants me. I’m not like you. You’re so talented and you also have Coach Xu to back you up. I’m so envious!” Yuan Shan said obsequiously.

Everyone else had disdainful expressions on their faces. Back when Yang Xin took over Xia He’s position and acted like a tyrant in the art troupe, Yuan Shan also said something similar to Yang Xin. For many years, she not only waited upon Yang Xin, but also gave Yang Xin massages like she was a slave.

Yuan Shan did all that hoping that Yang Xin would bestow upon her one or two roles and let her have a chance to go on stage. However, Yang Xin did not really take her requests seriously at all. On one hand, Yang Xin appeared to agree, but on the other hand, Yang Xin belittled her behind her back. Over the years, one could count on one hand the number of times Yuan Shan had been on stage and those were all dispensable roles.

Now that Xia He had come back, it meant that Yuan Shan had a chance to change her strategy. If Xia He was willing to help her, it would definitely be more worth it than being Yang Xin’s follower!

“Is that so? Coach Xu scolds me more than anyone else and punishes me the most. Have you forgotten all this already? It seems that your memory isn’t very good. If you have time, you should go to the hospital to get it treated. I have to go and deliver something. You should go practice too.” After saying that, Xia He patted Yuan Shan’s shoulder and left.

Yuan Shan stood rooted to the spot in anger. If not for the fact that there were too many people around, she would have thrown a big tantrum and cussed out Xia He!

When Zhou Ling found out that Xia He had returned to the art troupe, she dressed up and ran to the dance studio without even combing her hair. As soon as she entered, she pointed at Xia He and scolded, “How dare you come here! See if I don’t rip out your tongue!”

“Go ahead. Let’s see whose tongue gets ripped out,” Xia He said with a smile as she sat at the side.

“You beat up Yang Xin and she’s now in the hospital, yet you’re here as if nothing has happened. Do you think you’re so great just because your mother is Xu Lan! Don’t you get this position only because of your mother? Everyone knows that! Why are you so pretentious! How can you even compete with Yang Xin!” Zhou Ling said angrily.

Xia He stood up and went forward to give Zhou Ling a tight slap. Everyone was caught off guard by what she did. Zhou Ling definitely did not expect it.

“Show more respect to my mother. She’s my mother and also your teacher! Don’t you know you have to respect your teachers!” Xia He roared.

“You! What’s so great about you…” Zhou Ling said fearfully.

“Whether I’m capable or not has nothing to do with you or Yang Xin. Have I ever said that I want to compete with you two rotten eggs? You are the ones who keep imagining things and come looking for trouble for no reason. That day, you were the ones who started it! She was the one who was stupid enough to lose her footing because she couldn’t balance herself. What has it got to do with me?” Xia He said as she rolled her eyes helplessly.
Zhou Ling was so angry that she took a broom from the side and pointed it at Xia He, saying, “You’re lying again! You’re such a liar! Why are you always telling lies!”

Xia He had no idea which part of what she said was a lie. She also did not know why Zhou Ling thought of her as a liar. When she left the art troupe, Zhou Ling had not even joined. Zhou Ling only came to the art troupe after she left.

“You can’t even hold a broom properly, yet you’re still trying to play bluff here? Do you have the confidence to beat me? You can’t even manage to dodge a slap from me,” Xia He said mockingly.

Zhou Ling was a little hesitant. The scene of Yang Xin being beaten up by Xia He and getting sent to the hospital was still vivid in her mind. If she also had to be hospitalized now, she would not have a chance to take part in the performance anymore. Now that Yang Xin could not perform, as long as she begged Yang Xin, she might get a chance.

She decided not to get involved in this matter. Yang Xin should be the one to get the troupe leader to uphold justice for herself! Yang Xin must ask the troupe leader to teach this arrogant person a lesson!

“Just you wait! You just wait! We won’t let this go just like that!” With that, Zhou Ling threw down the broom and ran away gloomily.
