"Are you saying I’m a tomboy? Just look at yourself before saying that about !"
"What’s wrong with ?" Zhou Keng was sowhat blustering, yet inwardly uneasy; she hadn’t anticipated the existence of a Sheng Ning at the General Union.
Thinking of the photo on the cover of the labor newspaper, she regretted it. If she had known, she never would’ve stood up for Qianjin.
As soon as Sheng Ning heard Chen Huaying’s voice, she was the first one to wriggle out of the car. Then, with the assistance of a pair of large hands reaching out, she effortlessly hopped off the truck.
"Calling you out for having dark skin, and a flat nose!" Sheng Ning’s arrival silenced the entire playground.
Countless pairs of eyes stared agape at her, unsure if they were more surprised by her being even prettier in person than in the labor newspaper, or by her sharp tongue.
This was her first public appearance in places other than on the labor newspaper since being featured, and it was such an important occasion too.
Before this, her comrades at the Research Institute had already been captivated upon seeing that photo, all eager to see the true face of the newly declared ’Union Flower’.
Everyone knew the Union was coming today, which was why the playground had gathered so many people in advance.
Zhou Keng’s face imdiately turned sour.
Sheng Ning seed to completely ignore Zhou Keng’s expression, smiling warmly and familiarly as her bright eyes seed to sparkle. "If you look closely, your eyelashes are quite short and they don’t curl at all. Even your lip color is dull! Not pink or tender in the slightest."
In her past life, she had been through countless confrontations, and although she seldom won, she understood the essence of quarreling. She knew what hurt people the most.
"Do you know?" she leaned in, whispering to Zhou Keng, "I don’t know you, and I don’t want to offend you, but when you talk about my friend, you’re talking about ."
The closer she got, the more intense Zhou Keng felt her inferiority. She widened her eyes to look, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t see any pores on Sheng Ning’s face.
How could her skin be so tender, almost like a baby’s?
Chen Huaying couldn’t help but sigh, "She really is a woman who cos with her own spotlight, how terrifying. Why am I allied with her!"
They exchanged glances, each sending a sympathetic look to the other.
"What are you so proud of? You think you’re great just because of your looks? A face is nothing more than a shell." The other mbers of the Fifty-six Association were unconvinced, scoffing in retort, "To see soone who thinks they’re attractive, what an eye-opener. Without sha, indeed, there’s no match for it in this world!"
"That’s right, that’s right!" others chid in hastily, "As a comrade, shouldn’t we prioritize quality and capability first?"
Chen Huaying and the others, so angry they wished they could slap these people.
"You’re the ones without..." Just as she was about to start cursing, Wu Youli tily covered her mouth.
"Don’t get mad, and don’t curse. If you really start cursing, wouldn’t we be sinking to her level?
"But that’s infuriating! They say we’re ugly, that we can’t compare to them, that we don’t deserve to be female comrades, and now they’re saying that if we think we’re pretty, we’re shaless. Let go of , I’ll make them so beaten their own grandmothers won’t recognize them!" Chen Huaying was quickly losing her temper, ready to resort to violence after a few words.
"Don’t fight, don’t fight!" Wu Youli couldn’t hold her back, turning quickly to others for help, "Co and stop her, if a real fight breaks out, we can’t afford that kind of embarrassnt."
The others folded their arms and pretended not to see. Clearly, they too wouldn’t mind Chen Huaying giving the other side a good thrashing.
