Chapter 121 - 121: Old Lady, People Like You Should Be Subjected to Devine Retribution
At the Rong residence…
Rong Chan’er called Old Madam Tang and asked if she had asked Tang Beibei to help Rong Corporation.
Old Madam Tang said, “I’ve already asked her. But Rong Corporation has already declared bankruptcy and there’s nothing they can do. Tang Beibei can’t help you. But she did say that she will be responsible for my nursing home expenses going forward, so I don’t have to trouble the Rong family anymore.” Rong Chan’er was furious. This old woman was casting the Rong family aside since they were bankrupt hence no longer dependable.
“Old Madam, don’t be happy too early. I know some of your secrets.”
“What secrets do I have that you know? Miss Rong Chan’er sure knows how to joke.”
Rong Chan’er laughed coldly. “Do you think you can live comfortably just because Tang Beibei is married to that cripple? Haha, if Tang Beibei finds out that you’re not even her grandmother, will she still support you?”
“You! How did you know?” Old Madam Tang was surprised.
“No secret can endure forever. Old Madam, I suggest you find Tang Beibei again and ask her to help the Rong family tide over this crisis. Otherwise, don’t even think about living a good life yourself!”
Rong Chan’er’s voice was fierce. Since she was going to hell, she naturally had to drag a few people down with her.
Old Madam Tang was furious. “Miss Rong Chan’er, 1 didn’t expect you to be so young but so vicious. You were lying to me when you said that Tang Beibei stole your sister’s man last time, right? What a sucker I was to believe you.” Since everything was out in the open now, Rong Chan’er stopped pretending.
She said mockingly, “That’s because you’re a stupid old woman. You wanted to please me, so you framed Tang Beibei. Just because Tang Beibei listened to you and accepted your beatings, scolding and insults in the past, you think that she’s easy to bully and framed her.”
Old Madam Tang could not refute, and Rong Chan’er continued, “Talk about being vicious, 1 can’t be compared to you. You impersonated Tang Beibei’s deceased grandmother. 1 heard that when Tang Beibei’s mother was alive, you bullied her and even stole her money, causing her to give birth prematurely.” “Old Madam, people like you should be subjected to divine retribution. If you don’t want Tang Beibei to find out, do as I say and ask her to help us!” “What do you want me to do for you?” Old Madam Tang’s wrinkled face was gloomy.
“Tell Tang Beibei to persuade Jiang Jingchen to give the Rong family 50 million yuan and find out who harmed the Rong family.”
“50 million, isn’t that too much?” Old Madam Tang was shocked. She felt that it was an astronomical figure. Moreover, Tang Beibei had given her only 600 yuan today. How was she going to come up with 50 million yuan?
“Jiang Jingchen is the first young master of the Jiang family. He must have some share of the Jiang family wealth despite his status. Worst case, he could sell his villa, which is definitely worth 50 million yuan. As long as the Rong family is saved, 1’11 keep your secret.”
Old Madam Tang hung up the phone. At the thought of Jiang Jingchen being able to afford 50 million yuan, countless excuses to ask Tang Beibei for money popped up in her mind.
It was 50 million yuan. If she could get just one or two million yuan, she wouldn’t have to worry about the rest of her life!
However, the most important thing now was to keep the secret that she was not Tang Beibei’s biological grandmother.
Old Madam Tang decided to talk to Tang Beibei tomorrow and went to bed.
Just as she turned off the lights and was about to fall asleep, she felt a cold knife against her neck and was startled awake.
“Old woman, we meet again.” It was the two burly men from last time.
“What, what are you trying to do?” The old lady trembled in fear.
“We are here to talk to you. Didn’t we tell you not to look for Tang Beibei again last time? Are your ears not working well, old lady, or do you not want your brain anymore?”
“I-l’m Tang Beibei’s grandmother. How can I not look for her? I… Boohoo…”
Her mouth was stuffed with something.
One of the burly men said, “Old woman, I’ll say it again. Stay in the nursing home and enjoy your life. Don’t go and look for Tang Beibei anymore or I’ll chop off your legs!”
“Boohoo…”
The old lady’s face turned pale with fear, especially when the man took out a row of long needles and stabbed them into her legs without hesitation. She cried out in pain.
“It’s good that you feel pain. Promise me that you won’t leave the nursing home again. Can you do that?”
“Boohoo…” The old lady nodded in agreement.
However, the other burly man still had a long needle in his hand. He stabbed it in her leg. A total of ten long and thin needles were stabbed into her legs. Her legs felt numb and completely powerless.
“Old Madam, this is a lesson for you. If you disobey our order again and find trouble with Tang Beibei, we’ll stab your heart next time and bury you in the wilderness.”
“Boohoo, boohoo…”
The old lady nodded in fear. She figured that these two men were probably sent by Tang Beibei to teach her a lesson. All her resignation was just an act.
What a b*tch, that Tang Beibei!
Tang Beibei went to school and was ready for the two dances she choreographed with Ruan Qi for her audition. She contacted Fu Jin and asked him about details of the interview and whether they needed to write an introduction about themselves.
Fu Jin was very happy to hear that they wanted to join his dance troupe.
“We only look at your dancing ability. If you are ready to dance, you can come to my dance studio and let the other teachers see.”
Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi looked at each other. Although they were both nervous, they were looking forward to doing what they liked.
“We are ready. We’ll got to your dance studio for our interviews!” Tang Beibei’s tone was like a little warrior who was about to go to the battlefield, very heroic. Fu Jin chuckled. “Okay. Let’s go to the dance studio together after school today.” “Sure!”
The two of them were still excited when they attended their classes. Ruan Qi even watched her dance practice videos, hoping that she would execute every move perfectly.
Tang Beibei was also very nervous. This would be the first time she danced in front of others. And this audition might even land her a place in a professional dance company.
After school, the three of them walked to Fu Jin’s dance studio together.
In the audition-cum-interview room, there were four people sitting in the front row. Other than Fu Jin, the other three were all famous dance teachers in the country. They were highly paid instructors hired by Fu Jin for his dance troupe.
The first song that Tang Beibei chose was a folk dance that she was good at. It was a slow and melodious song. As it slowly played, she slowly moved.
There was a gentle charm from the tip of her toes to her fingertips that attracted all the judges.
The music lasted for two minutes, but the four judges were so captivated that they clapped a few seconds after her performance ended.
“Excellent. 1 can see that your foundation is very good. Also, you have a certain charm to you when you dance. It’s very interesting.” One of the teachers commented.
“Although you’re wearing modern clothes, your movements resembled an ancient beauty’s. It’s very good.”
“Folk dances need to be special, and you have to practice with calm and patience. You have great potential.”
“I can’t wait to see your second dance.”
Tang Beibei was delighted to hear the judges’ praises, but she did not dare to relax. She immediately went to prepare the music for her second dance.
Her second dance was a jazz dance. She undid her ponytail, loosened her hair and then grabbed it as she started dancing to the rhythm.
Her first dance was classical, elegant and feminine. Her second dance was modern and highly rhythmic. Moreover, her movements were on point. There were tempo changes in her routine with hard as well as soft movements. It made people want to clap.
Fu Jin looked at the woman’s performance and felt a sense of pride.
This was the girl he liked, with exceptional ability to express herself. When she was dancing, she was like a morphing magical fairy that everybody wanted, drawing people in using different charms..
