Tang Beibei frowned at Madam Wu when she tried to persuade her into getting a divorce.

Madam Wu was not young. How could her worldview be so warped?

“It’s fate that we met, but my husband and I won’t get a divorce. Madam Wu, focus on your recuperation. I still have homework to finish, so I’ll take my leave now.”

Madam Wu held her hand and was reluctant to let go. But the young lady was also busy and couldn’t spend all her time accompanying an old lady.

As soon as Tang Beibei walked out of the ward, the man put his arm around her shoulders and kissed her.

“At least you’re sensible enough not to be snatched away.”

Tang Beibei was stunned for a few seconds. She recalled what Madam Wu said and glared at him with a frown. “Do I look like the kind of person who could be lured away? You don’t trust me!”

Jiang Jingchen pinched her cheek. “You make it sound like you’re so smart.”

Tang Beibei was depressed at his implication that she was stupid.

“Who has homework to finish?”

Jiang Jingchen asked when he saw the little woman ignore him with her head lowered.

“Sigh. Me. There’s definitely homework in the two days I’ve been away.”

Tang Beibei instantly snapped out of her depression and held his arm. “Let’s go home now.”

The two of them got into the car. Since she wanted to do her homework, she naturally had to ask someone from school what homework had been given in the last two days.

She took out her phone and called Fu Jin.

Jiang Jingchen saw that she was video calling Fu Jin and got so angry that he felt himself choking from stale blood in his throat.

Ruan Qi couldn’t attend school yet as she was still recuperating from her near miscarriage. Tang Beibei asked Fu Jin help Ruan Qi apply for leave.

Fu Jin was stunned when he heard that Ruan Qi was pregnant. He found it unbelievable.

“She’s only twenty and she’s already pregnant. Isn’t that too soon?”

Tang Beibei, however, felt that it was alright. “She’s married and since the baby came, she’ll just give birth to the baby when it’s time. She can take a year off from school after she does that.”

Fu Jin massaged his brows. “But she signed a contract to earn money for me.”

Tang Beibei scratched her head helplessly. Ruan Qi’s pregnancy was an accident and unplanned.

“About that, what’s the penalty if she breaks her contract? You can contact Song Zhou about it. I’m sure he will think of a way to compensate you.” Fu Jin waved his hand. “It isn’t so much about the money. I just feel that Ruan Qi is still so young. If she has a baby now, she will neglect her training. It will be hard for her to pick it up again in the future.”

Tang Beibei sighed. “There are many things we want to do in life. If she feels that something is more important than dancing, it’s her choice. We don’t have to feel sorry for her.”

Fu Jin chuckled. “When did you become so philosophical?”

Tang Beibei was embarrassed. She giggled and said, “Captain, although Qiqi can’t train now, I’ll work doubly hard to make her share of the money back for you!”

Fu Jin said, “There’s a show. If you can win, I’ll put you in the center spot for our dance troupe.”

“What show?”

Fu Jin took out a document from his bag and showed it to Tang Beibei.

“Asian Golden Age Dance Competition?”

“Although you won the championship in ‘Dancing Youth’, it’s a competition organized by the local television station, hence not too popular and didn’t give you enough visibility.”

“This Golden Age competition is organized at the country level. The show, when aired, will definitely get more eyeballs. But at the same time, the requirements for professionalism would be higher.”

Tang Beibei felt a little conflicted. “Will I qualify?”

“We’ll only know after you try. Beibei, help me earn money.”

“… Okay, I’ll sign up.”

Tang Beibei sighed. Her boss had given her an assignment. She was just a little trainee, so she couldn’t turn it down.

I will give you girls a few training sessions before the competition. As for whether you will succeed, it will depend on your individual performance.”

“Us girls?”

“You, Ye Lan, Xi Tong, and Chen Xixi.”

Fu Jin’s tone became serious as he continued, “You’re not close with them but it shouldn’t affect your dance training. They’re also quite capable. My main concern as the boss is making money, not personal relationships.”

“I understand. I don’t mean it any other way. I’ll train hard. Competition is the only way to improve.”

In any case, all the trainees compete secretly during dance training and assessments at the dance studio.

Ye Lan always had the best results.

She suffered from abnormal emotions at the last competition, which led to her mistakes. Otherwise, Tang Beibei was not sure if she could have won the championship.

After getting Ruan Qi’s leave slip from Fu Jin, Tang Beibei went to the library to borrow a few books.

Fu Jin saw that her school bag was stuffed and took it from her.

“So many books. You’re already so tired from dance training every day, but you can still read?”

“Qiqi is nourishing her pregnancy and I’m borrowing some books for her to read. I’ve also borrowed some for myself. Since I haven’t decided on my future career yet, I can’t neglect my studies.”

“Then, let’s work hard together.”

Fu Jin’s family was in the healthcare business. His parents had hoped that he would study medicine. He didn’t hate it, but compared to dancing, it wasn’t his favorite.

Therefore, he was also taking care of his studies as well as his dance career.

After school, when the two of them walked out of the school gate, they heard someone calling out to Tang Beibei.

Tang Beibei turned her head in confusion, only to find herself being grabbed by an aggressive middle-aged man who shouted angrily, “Tang Beibei, where are you hiding my daughter, Ruan Qi?”

Tang Beibei frowned. She knew this woman. She was Ruan Qi’s mother.

Excuse me, Auntie, why are you looking for Ruan Qi?”

■’Why? You’re so young yet you’ve gone astray living a messy private life. You shamelessly married a rich second-generation heir and even led my daughter astray. Hurry up and tell me where my Ruan Qi is. I want to take her home!”

Tang Beibei felt unhappy when she was suddenly scolded by an elder.

But she didn’t want to argue with Ruan Qi’s mother. So, she turned to leave.

However, Ruan Qi’s mother grabbed her arm tightly. “Don’t go. Don’t even think about leaving if you don’t tell me where my daughter is. Believe it or not, I’ll call the police now!”

She even berated her indignantly, “You’ve led my daughter astray. I’m going to destroy your reputationandpunish you!”

Fu Jin saw her grabbing Tang Beibei’s arm and Tang Beibei frowning as she failed to shake her off.

He went forward, pulled Tang Beibei away and stood between her and Ruan Qi’s mother.

“Auntie, Ruan Qi is fine now, but Tang Beibei is only Ruan Qi’s classmate, not her guardian. Besides, Ruan Qi is an adult. She can distinguish right from wrong.”

“As her mother, you can be unsupportive, but please don’t hurt others!”

“Who are you?” Ruan Qi’s mother frowned at him.

“I’m Fu Jin, Ruan Qi’s class monitor.”

Ruan Qi’s mother immediately scolded, “I know you. You’re the class monitor

who takes Ruan Qi away after school every day. Class monitor is a nice-sounding title but who knows what dirty things you’re doing behind the scenes.”

“Since you know that my daughter is fine, take me to her. My daughter must have been deceived by both of you.”

Ruan Qi’s mother cursed angrily as she pointed at Fu Jin. The students around them started watching the commotion.

“I sent her to university to study. But she met unruly classmates like you who

led her astray. Give me back my daughter!”

Tang Beibei saw that more onlookers were gathering around them. Everyone was looking at them strangely as if she and Fu Jin were human traffickers.

She suppressed her anger and patiently persuaded Ruan Qi’s mother.

“Auntie, please calm down. I didn’t ask Ruan Qi to do anything. Ruan Qi’s phone

is spoiled. She’ll call you when she gets a new phone.”

Ruan Qi’s mother retorted, “If she didn’t do anything, why is she living with a man as his mistress?”

“She has been led astray by you all. You are still trying to fool me and not let me see my daughter. You’re a bad person, a b*tch!”

Tang Beibei took a deep breath. As a mother, was it really okay to call her own daughter someone’s mistress in public?

It was no wonder Ruan Qi was unwilling to share her troubles with her family, choosing instead to start a family with Song Zhou.

With such an unreasonable mother, she would suffocate every day!

Ruan Qi’s mother thought that she had exposed Tang Beibei evil deeds and Tang Beibei was feeling guilty when she kept quiet.

She became more aggressive and spat, “I didn’t let her dance because that’s something that only indecent girls do.”

“If she wants to study medicine, then she should study hard and become a doctor. But she just doesn’t listen. She must have been led astray by you guys. She used to be very obedient.”

Tang Beibei and Fu Jin looked at each other and finally understood why Ruan

Qi didn’t want to tell her family about her dancing.

It turned out that her mother thought that dancing was indecent.

What era did they live in now? Dancing and singing was freedom and a hobby. How did it become something indecent?

Tang Beibei gritted her teeth as she failed to reason with Ruan Qi’s mother while being gawked at.

Fu Jin asked her softly, “Are you bringing her to see Ruan Qi?”

Tang Beibei shook her head firmly. “Ruan Qi is nourishing her pregnancy now. If she quarrels with her mother and gets agitated. If serious, it can lead to miscarriage.”

Fu Jin frowned.. What a dilemma!
