“Is it absolutely necessary to explain everything to teacher Huang?”

Huang Xin saw her act so indifferent and became even more energetic, saying loudly: “It’s so disgusting. Shameless girls like you harm ballet itself.”

Jiang Yu ignored her and proceeded with the payment process. After which she got up and left. Huang Xin was still bad mouthing Jiang Yu to her colleagues that were standing around her.

Jiang Yu took out the phone from her pocket and said to Huang Xin in an unhurried manner: “By the way, Ms. Huang, the things that you said to me just now can be considered as insults and defamation. I will notarize this recording and submit it to the public security division as an evidence for your slander.  At the same time, I will also submit a copy of the evidence to the mailbox of the person in charge of Lingque Training Institution, so please be prepared mentally.”

After saying this, Jiang Yu ignored the stunned Huang Xin as well as the other surprised teachers standing around and just left the reception room.

Huang Xin knew the seriousness of what was said just said now. After a start, she quickly caught up with Jiang Yu and squeezed out a smile with great difficulty: “Jiang Yu, this teacher is not good. Could you please not hand over this recording and delete it. I acknowledge that I was wrong.”

 Jiang Yu could tell that Huang Xin was really nervous and scared. After all if something like that came out, considering the popularity of Lingque Ballet, it would definitely give rise to heated discussions on the internet.

As a teacher at Lingque, she would not only lose her job, she may be removed from the ballet circle itself.

“Jiang Yu, you see, I know I shouldn’t have said anything hurtful to others like I did just now, so please be magnanimous and don’t publish that recording.”

Looking at her constipated face, Jiang Yu just felt it was funny.

People who bullied others always feared facing hardships or the consequences of their actions.

In the past, she gave up everything because she didn’t want to cause trouble, but in return these people just bullied her more. Now she just punished them a little, which made these people do an about turn so quickly in fright.

Of course, Jiang Yu also knew that when she pushed back like this, she could only get emotional satisfaction for a while, but no benefits.

After rebirth, perhaps the biggest change for her was that she learned to judge every situation like an adult.

Only children will vent their emotions however they want; but adults will always strive to maximize their own interests.

She simply said to Huang Xin in a straightforward manner: “On two conditions.  First, publicly apologize to me in your circle of friends and apologize for all the derogatory insults that you’ve made to me in the past three days.”

“But…”

“You don’t want to?”

“It’s no problem whatsoever, it’s just an apology.” Huang Xin gritted her teeth: “Fine. Now what about the second condition?”

“Second, I want a spot in the ballet show that takes place at the end of the year.”

“What! You want a spot in that show?!”

Jiang Yu nodded

“No. It’s impossible! How can you take part in that talent show?!”

At the end of every year, there will be teachers from the Esmeralda Art center to select apprentices.

Esmeralda is the most authoritative ballet center in China. Many well-known ballet artists in China are those who came out of Esmeralda. They were on a whole new league compared to training centers like Lingque.

Even Bu Tanyan, the ballet queen that Jiang Yu admired the most, came from Esmeralda.

Teachers at the Esmeralda Art center will look for the most talented ballet students across the country and select them to give them specialized training.

The talent show that takes place at the end of the year was Jiang Yu’s only opportunity.

“This… How can you participate in the talent show? It’s not my decision.” Huang Xin said hesitantly and then continued: “I am not the chief decision maker.”

“There will be an internal selection in October, as long as my grades are high and I meet the selection standards, teacher Huang should be able to help me to get a place in that performance, right?”

Huang Xin gritted her teeth and said, “So you want to enter Esmeralda, but do you know anything about it? The tuition fee is staggeringly high. Even if you can get in, how can your family afford it?!”

“I will find a way to solve my tuition fees, so I don’t need teacher Huang to worry about it.”

Huang Xin was afraid of the recording that was in Jiang Yu’s hands, so she could only agree to her request for the time being.

She really couldn’t figure out, how Jiang Yu could have become a different person overnight. She used to be very obedient to her teachers and never even dared to think of pushing back. How is it that she couldn’t see throughout this summer her methods becoming so powerful!

She didn’t dare to underestimate her anymore. After Jiang Yu left, she quickly sent a short apology to her circle of friends saying-

‘I want to formally apologize to Jiang Yu. I have caused her harm in the past by making many inappropriate remarks. After deeply reflecting on my mistakes, I want to sincerely apologize to Jiang Yu: I’m sorry!’

As soon as this apologetical statement was issued, Jiang Yu’s cell phone immediately started buzzing and vibrating continuously. All of the messages were from the class group discussing this matter.

In the dance classes in her past life, she was completely artless; with her extremely low self-esteem anyone could step on her, while she just gritted her teeth and swallowed blood.

Who would have ever though that such a small person would actually make teacher Huang Xin tender an apology in her circle of friends?

The students in the dance class all felt that this was incredible and made various guesses. But Jiang Yu just put down the phone and ignored it all. She has already died in her previous life and now she just wants to live the new one.

***

On her way home, Jiang Yu receiver a message from the app, which was sent by Qiu Li: “Have you found me?”

Jiang Yu frowned and replied: “No.”

Qiu Li: “Please hurry up. Serving this lifelong sentence is not easy.”

To be honest, even though she took on this task, Jiang Yu was still a little bit embarrassed in her heart.

Qiu Li was a murderer and was said to be an indiscriminate one at that, with an anti-social personality, because he killed her former husband Huo Cheng without any motive or reason.

God only know what the young Qiu Li experienced. It was impossible for her to contact such a person without feeling scared.

But since she has already accepted the task, she could only bite the bullet and do it.

She said: “Can you send me the information about the you in the past?”

Qiu Li soon sent her an address. It said No.34 Ningyang Lane.

No. 34 Ningyang road was not far from where she was. She walked over to that place by going through a few blocks.

This area belonged to the old city and was filled mostly with old and low-end barrel units. The narrow alleyways were circuitous which would normally confuse people.

The street lights by the roadside were very dim. Jiang Yu searched on her mobile phone and had almost reached the vicinity of Ningyang road.

There seemed to be some movement in the front. Jiang Yu stepped forward quickly, but saw a group of punks beating a teenager under the Juniper tree that was in front of her.

The teenager was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with exceptionally tough facial features, sharp eyes and looked quite a bit hostile.

He was lying on the ground, curled like a shrimp, under their punches and kicks, but there was a blood filled and cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

“You dare to laugh!” The leader of the gangster grabbed him by the collar, pulled him up and punched him on the face while saying: “Laugh again and I will kill you!”

However, the other guy still laughed, in fact he laughed louder. It sounded more and more mad, like that of a ghost from the depths of hell and was incredibly crippling.

The gang leader punched him again and again: “Just try to laugh again! Go on laugh!”

The other gangsters that were standing around saw that their leader actually kept on hitting him and hurriedly grabbed him while saying: “Stop it before he dies!”

“Rubbish.” The gang leader gave him another hard kick, swore at him and turned to leave.

Jiang Yu hid behind the lamppost. She had already taken out her cell phone and was ready to call the police, when she heard the gang leader yelling: “Qiu Li you are just a mad dog that will bite everyone, go to hell!”

Soon the gangsters walked away. All the noise faded away and the night was suddenly quiet as if the whole world had fallen asleep.

Qiu Li whose face was half buried in the mud, opened a bloody eye and saw a girl in a white dress not that far away, hiding behind a lamppost, looking at him with fear and worry like a frightened deer.

His eyesight was blurry because of the blood and the only thing that he could see was her straight and long legs. It was like the muscles were made of ice while the bones were made of jade; it was as white as the moon and was so beautiful that he had the illusion that he was not in hell anymore.
