Chapter 34: Go to Hell!

That is mindset.

A good mindset not only allows for extraordinary performance but also enables one to quickly find a way to respond when making a mistake.

Si Rong has been on stage many times before, and the twenty-some students she selected this time all have relatively good mindsets.

Especially Jiang Zhi.

This girl is truly a natural talent for dance; her face, figure, and temperament are all outstanding—what is commonly known as the type that Heaven rewards with a meal.

Their dance club has held their rehearsals in the park these past few times, and there are many elderly grandmas and grandpas as well as pedestrians watching in the park.

Because the practice time hasn't been long, it is a very normal thing to make mistakes; some children make mistake after mistake once they slip up, and they might even squat on the spot, covering their faces and crying bitterly, affecting the performance of the entire team.

But some children are able to react very quickly; after Jiang Zhi danced a step wrong once, she quickly used a turning movement to fasten her shoe buckle.

Laypeople could barely tell she had danced it wrong.

"We are about to have our competition, so there will be no training tomorrow. Everyone, relax well; Teacher will treat you to a movie!"

The children's eyes lit up instantly; it was the first time they had seen a teacher like this.

With the competition imminent, shouldn't they be seizing the time to rehearse?

"Teacher, are we going to the movie theater?" a student asked.

"Right here in our dance studio, using a disc player!"

Si Rong knows her second brother has one at home; it is something that has just become popular in big cities over the last two years.

And taking twenty-some students to the movie theater together would require worrying about many things.

"Yay!"

"I've heard of disc players for a long time, but I've never seen one; I didn't expect our teacher to actually have one!"

"Don't you know? Our Teacher Si is the eldest daughter of the Si Family; she has all the good things."

"I've learned something new today."

Listening to these children's chattering discussions, Si Rong and Ming Zi exchanged a smile.

"Eldest Miss Si, I'm also waiting to see what a disc player looks like!"

Ming Zi winked at her.

Si Rong pursed her lips and smiled, "Then I'll trouble Miss Ming Zi to close the shop later; I'm going to my second brother's place for a bit."

"As you command."

But when they finished school, Shen Lan arrived, and he was carrying the scent of alcohol.

He seemed to have been waiting outside the dance club for a long time, his gaze fixed heavily on Jiang Zhi; seeing that Jiang Zhi was picked up by an elderly middle-aged woman, the frustration he had been holding in for so long became knotted in his chest, feeling uncomfortable and stuck.

Jiang Cheng didn't come to pick up his own daughter?

He had thought Jiang Cheng would take the opportunity of letting his daughter learn dance here to pull off a "near water towers get the moonlight first" move.

He actually didn't?

Is this a case of casting a long line to catch a big fish?

Today, Si Rong did not attend his younger sister's wedding, which made him, as the County Magistrate, lose a great deal of face.

Especially since the Yang Family specifically asked why the Si Family didn't arrive today.

How would he know?

Even if Si Rong is so old and doesn't understand the ways of the world, don't those two human-calculators, the Si Family's eldest and second brothers, understand?

Yes, they are big bosses and very busy.

But even if people are busy, the gifts should have arrived!

They didn't either!

Although the Yang Family didn't say it out loud, he could still tell from their expressions that they were very dissatisfied with the Si Family's absence.

So, emboldened by the alcohol, he came.

He wanted to catch evidence of Jiang Cheng pining for his wife so he could get back at Jiang Yu in the future, but he didn't expect this Jiang Cheng to be quite cunning.

"Si Rong, let's talk."

He truly cannot understand Si Rong's changes during this period, nor the attitude the two Si brothers have toward him.

What did he do wrong?

But, he didn't do anything.

"Talk about what?"

Si Rong said indifferently.

The children left one after another; Ming Zi was a bit worried that Shen Lan would cause trouble, so she stayed in the dance studio, separated by a wall.

"Let's talk about the problems between us; do you have someone else on the outside?"

Shen Lan asked the suspicion in his heart.

Ming Zi, eavesdropping next door, spat out all her tea.

This Shen Lan is truly refreshing the lower limits of shamelessness one after another.

When problems arise, instead of looking for the cause in himself, he actually has the face to suspect Rongrong of cheating?

Si Rong took a deep breath; looking at Shen Lan again, she only felt fortunate—fortunate that she was about to leave him.

It's so good.

"Go to hell!"

Si Rong, the Eldest Miss of the Si Family who had been elegant since childhood and praised everywhere for her cultivation, suddenly discovered that there are some situations where one really needs to use profanity.

So refreshing!

Shen Lan's mouth dropped open in shock into an 'O' shape.

What did Si Rong just say?

She, she, actually knows how to curse?

One must know, from the time he had known Si Rong until now, it had been nearly twenty years, and he had never once heard Si Rong say such foul language.

Ming Zi felt equally shocked, but felt more that it was satisfying.

She hoped Si Rong would curse a few more times.

"You, you," Shen Lan felt his brain spinning, his whole mind slowly replaying that sentence of Si Rong's, "Screw your mother!", and suddenly his eyes rolled back, and he fainted directly.

Si Rong looked at Shen Lan, who was lying on the ground drunk as a mud, and discovered that seeing him now, there was not a ripple of emotion in her heart.

Yes, she was supposed to be such a decisive person.

When loving, one can love deeply, but when not loving, then screw it!

"What do we do with this idiot?" Ming Zi heard a thud and hurried over a few steps, but after discovering that the one who had fallen was Shen Lan, she returned to her usual composure.

Si Rong was expressionless, and then her red lips parted slightly.

"Throw him out!"

"Well done!" Ming Zi snapped her fingers.

When Shen Lan woke up again, he discovered he was in the hospital, his head splitting with pain.

By his side was only his secretary, Xiao Huang, keeping watch.

"I, how did I end up in the hospital again?"

Shen Lan frowned; in the past, he wouldn't come to the hospital even once in many years, but recently he had been entering the hospital frequently.

It was all because Si Rong angered him!

Right, Si Rong, he remembered, before he fainted he had gone to the dance studio wanting to talk to Si Rong.

And then she actually cursed him, which was why he fainted.

"Deputy County Magistrate, how are you feeling?" Xiao Huang asked with concern, "Today we still have to attend the dance competition hosted by Huaiyi; can your body hold up?"

Shen Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he gritted his teeth, "Go!"

Of course he had to go; as the Deputy County Magistrate, he had the right to vote.

If Si Rong did not take the initiative to apologize to him today, then he would not cast his vote for Rongzi Dance Studio.

Actually, thinking about it now, he was also at fault for yesterday's events; drinking ruins things, and he shouldn't have suspected that Si Rong had someone else outside.

He was so outstanding, how could Si Rong possibly fancy other men?

It was likely what people often called early menopause, which was why Si Rong's emotions were so volatile.

If Si Rong was willing to soften her stance toward him today, then this matter would be considered over, and in the future, they could still live their lives in harmony just the same.

Huaiyi.

All the participating Dance Teachers and students were already prepared.

The participating leaders, under the arrangements of the school leadership, also began to enter the venue one after another.

Shen Lan was wearing a deep blue suit today, which was one Si Rong had personally picked out for him in the past; it really set off his temperament.

Today, the school had prepared the main seat for him, which was quite thoughtful.

Shen Lan sat down, his posture relaxed, not without pride in his heart; not every man could reach his height.

After sitting down, his gaze began to subconsciously search for Si Rong.

She was sitting in a relatively back position.

Today, Si Rong was wearing a sky-blue wide-sleeved dance costume, her hair dyed back to black, and her classical makeup made her look as if she had walked out of ancient times; she was extremely beautiful.

However, her gaze was not looking at him.

Shen Lan thought, fine, no need for her to apologize; today, as long as she took the initiative to come over and speak to him, he would temporarily forgive her for her neglect over the past few days.
