The reason Sheng Ning appeared in the front of the assembly hall was because she received her father’s letter and listened to Qin Cuifen’s advice. She wanted to find Xu Qigang and humiliate him.

 Recalling the terrible things she did in her previous life, Sheng Ning wanted to slap herself. The two families didn’t even have an engagement yet. Even if there were an engagement, who was Sheng Ning to humiliate him? In her previous life, she had a ruined reputation and a tragic end. Qin Cuifen didn’t recognize her. Shen Jianguo, who swore he would only marry her, didn’t recognize her either. In the end, it was Xu Qigang, whom she humiliated, who recognized her.

 Thinking about how she died in Xu Qigang’s warm embrace, Sheng Ning broke into a smile. In this life, she wouldn’t fawn upon the rich and powerful. So what if Xu Qigang came from a poor family? She wanted to marry him and become a good wife.

 Sheng Ning picked up her pen and began writing a response. In her letter, she wrote that she was doing well. She told her father not to worry about her and to take care of himself. Then, she said very directly that she was happy with this marriage arrangement and would leave everything up to Father’s decision.

 After Sheng Ning mailed the letter, she waited anxiously. But even after her leg injury healed, Father still hadn’t responded. She was worried something might have happened, so she sent another letter. This time, she received a response very quickly. It came in a mere two weeks.

 After she read her father’s letter, Sheng Ning was dumbfounded. She didn’t expect something like this to happen.

 What did he mean the man didn’t like her? What… what was bad about her?

 Sheng Ning was so frustrated she wanted to cry. Holding the letter in her hands, she couldn’t understand why Xu Qigang was so cold toward her. Was she not beautiful enough? Or was it a flaw in her personality?

 Yes! It must be a flaw in her personality. She had a bad reputation and an even worse temper. That must be why Xu Qigang disliked her. He was a cold-faced god, and now he was the leader of the Rescue Troop. He had a great future ahead of him. It was natural for him to not like her.

 Sheng Ning gritted her teeth. She swore she would become good enough for him.

 “Sheng Ning, you…” Zhang Hongmei looked at her hesitantly. She wanted to say something, but didn’t dare.

 “What is it?” Sheng Ning slept on the bottom bunk. She raised her exquisite, beautiful face to look at Zhang Hongmei, who was on the top bunk.

 Sheng Ning used to live with Qin Cuifen, but when she returned from the evening party, she asked to move in with Zhang Hongmei, which infuriated Qin Cuifen.

 Seeing Sheng Ning’s little face, Zhang Hongmei was stunned for a moment. She secretly reprimanded herself, then asked, “Are you throwing a fit at Qin Cuifen?”

 Throwing a fit? These weren’t kind words. Only mean and selfish people threw fits.

 “No!”

“Then why aren’t you living with her? You used to be such good friends,” Zhang Hongmei said admiringly.

 The three of them were from the countryside, but Qin Cuifen had a close relationship with Sheng Ning. They were both outstanding. Zhang Hongmei was the only one who was uncouth and unpresentable, and she was looked down upon by everyone.

 Sheng Ning couldn’t say that she was avoiding Qin Cuifen because she was reborn and knew Qin Cuifen had malicious intent toward her. But Sheng Ning really did care about Zhang Hongmei, who was the only person in her previous life who never wanted to do her any harm. Thus, she explained seriously, “Because I would rather be friends with you. Do you not want me here?”

 In the General Union Ensemble, everyone looked down on Zhang Hongmei, and no one wanted to live with her. There happened to be an extra room, so Zhang Hongmei had always lived alone. But ever since Sheng Ning came back from the evening party, she had made her bed in Zhang Hongmei’s room.

 After getting away from Qin Cuifen, even breathing felt wonderful.
