Chapter 297: So What If He’s Ugly? He’s Rich!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Fu Jin frowned when he saw Tang Beibei at the dance studio, ready to train, and told her to rest at home.

But Tang Beibei insisted that she would be careful when she danced.

Fu Jin couldn’t change her mind, so he stopped talking and let her train.

The other dancers in the studio were surprised to see Tang Beibei.

Especially Xi Tong, who quietly asked the others if Tang Beibei had been absent from dance training for so long because she had been expelled.

The other dancers also had no idea. They guessed that since Tang Beibei was married to a rich second-generation heir, she went on a vacation over the new year and skipped dance training.

“I saw Tang Beibei’s husband in a wheelchair last time. He’s so ugly. That girl has very special taste.”

“So what if he’s ugly? He’s rich! And some people like money. Tang Beibei wears branded clothes every day. 1 saw a few pieces at a fashion show one time and she was wearing them the next day.”

“It’s quite something to enter into a sexless marriage for the sake of money.”

A few girls in the dance studio started gossiping, and the more they talked, the more they hated Tang Beibei. When they saw Tang Beibei come in, they stopped talking but looked at her with disdain.

Worried about Tang Beibei’s injuries, Ruan Qi tried to talk her out of dance training again after she came out of the toilet but no matter how hard she tried, Tang Beibei couldn’t be persuaded.

Tang Beibei was worried that she would fall behind if she didn’t resume dance training.

Tang Beibei was already an insecure person. If she fell behind the other dancers, she was afraid that she would be kicked out of the dance troupe.

Ruan Qi laughed in frustration. “Beibei, you really know nothing about your own abilities!”

“I know my skill level very well. You guys always coax me by telling me that I’m good at this, good at that. I’m not that good, okay?”

Ruan Qi took a deep breath. A top student’s brain was indeed different from that of an average person.

She was too modest!

“All, ah, cockroach!!!” A girl screamed suddenly and jumped up in fear.

When a few others girls saw the cockroach, they also jumped up and moved away in avoidance.

A few boys were also afraid and did not go forward. They argued that cockroaches were afraid of people and the cockroach might leave on its own.

Ruan Qi was also afraid and hid behind Tang Beibei. However, she was impressed when she saw that Tang Beibei was unfazed and even took a sip of water calmly.

The cockroach was huge and quite bold. It was hiding in a corner but when it heard the girls’ screams, it crawled quickly toward their bags.

“Oh my god, where did this cockroach come from? Quick! Get, get something to kill it! You guys, it’s over there!” Xi Tong exclaimed.

The boys frowned. Why did she think that boys were not afraid of cockroaches?

At this moment, Tang Beibei calmly walked forward with a few tissues. She slowly pulled the girls’ bags away, pressed down on the cockroach, and squeezed it with her palm.

The cockroach was dead, and its insides stained the tissues but didn’t dirty Tang Beibei’s hand.

Her expression was still very calm as she threw dead cockroach into the trash can and took a piece of disinfecting wet wipe to clean her hands.

Everyone looked at her in horror.

Someone said, “Tang Beibei, y-you’re amazing. You’re not afraid of cockroaches.”

Tang Beibei explained, “Cockroaches aren’t poisonous. They just carry germs. Besides, cockroaches are a traditional Chinese medicine. Roasted cockroaches are used as a medicine to regenerate muscle, stop bleeding, and promote wound healing. They are also quite effective in suppressing certain types of cancer cells.”

When everyone heard her say roasted cockroaches, their faces turned pale. They swallowed their saliva in fear and looked at Tang Beibei strangely.

Ruan Qi looked at the trash can and thought about Tang Beibei’s calmness when she caught the cockroach and her scalp went numb.

This top student certainly knew a lot!

The few students who badmouthed Tang Beibei earlier looked at each other and felt that Tang Beibei was sick!

She wasn’t even afraid of cockroaches!

Fu Jin walked into the studio and got everyone ready for class.

Today, they were practicing the fundamentals of ballet. There were many types of dances, and dance teachers usually taught students fundamentals of different dances so that students could discover their own strengths and then specialize in the types of dances they were good at.

Fu Jin was their teacher today.

For the first time, he wore a white ballet costume to class. He looked like Prince Charming: noble, elegant, handsome, and dazzling.

Fu Jin picked up ballet at the age of three and had been training for seventeen years. He had won almost all the awards that he could win in ballet. Although he was only twenty, his qualifications were already among the highest in the industry.

Everyone was amazed and applauded when he walked in. Everyone looked forward to his class.

Among the fifteen trainees in the dance studio, some of them were trained in ballet while others, like Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi, had never been exposed to ballet.

The two of them had been trained by Fu Jin before. When they thought about their lack of foundation in ballet, their scalps went numb.

Everyone put on their pointe shoes and started practicing the most basic movements. First position, second position… Plie, pirouette… Other side.

Ballet was also known as “dance on tiptoes.” People without foundation would find it hard in the beginning. They would struggle with their balance and sway left and right.

Fu Jin walked up to Tang Beibei and asked her softly if it hurt when she raised her arm. Tang Beibei saw that everyone was looking at her, and said with a smile that she could manage.

Actually, raising her arms did hurt a little but since she was here to train, she didn’t want to be singled out.

Ye Lan’s heart burned with envy when she saw Fu Jin paying special attention to Tang Beibei.

This was also her first ballet training, but Fu Jin never paid any attention to her.

Practicing dance fundamentals was very boring. Dancers must practice the same movements repeatedly until they achieved muscle memory.

A new year had just begun. Fu Jin planned to enter his dancers in various dance competitions this year.

A few variety shows had also contacted him, so he needed to pick dancers to take part in different programs.

All the dancers were enthusiastic during training since they know that they could take part in variety shows and competitions this year.

Tang Beibei sat on the floor with her face pale during a break. She took a sip of water and felt sick in the stomach, so she quickly covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom.

A few people looked at her strangely and whispered, “Do you think she’s pregnant?”

“She’s pregnant and yet she’s still dancing. Don’t tell me that she doesn’t intend to keep the baby…”

“I heard that her husband’s legs have recovered quite a bit. Who knows if her husband is still capable of you know what. She can’t be trying to miscarry the baby by dancing because she got pregnant with another man’s child, right?”

“That’s very cruel. She’s only a sophomore and a medical student. How does she not know how to keep legs shut?”

“If she can marry a disabled ugly monster for money, what does she know about chastity? People like her are just greedy for pleasure. I’ve seen hickeys on her neck before. I wonder how many men have left those marks on her.”

The few of them chattered and exaggerated more and more as they talked. Ye Lan listened to their comments expressionlessly and looked at the second floor.

As she expected, when Fu Jin saw the commotion downstairs, he rushed downstairs and brought a glass of warm water to the bathroom.

When Tang Beibei came out, her face was even paler. She drank the water Fu Jin gave her and thanked him with a smile.

Fu Jin sighed. “Why are you so stubborn? You’re still recovering and there’s no need to force yourself. This can’t be good for your health.”

Tang Beibei replied with a smile, “I’m almost fully recovered from my injuries and I don’t want to fall behind.”

Fu Jin comforted her. “You’d better go back and rest. I’ll give you remedial classes later, so you won’t fall behind.”

“Please don’t. I feel bad for always troubling you. Thank you, Fu Jin.” Tang Beibei thanked him profusely.

Fu Jin felt sad instead. She was always so polite.

When Tang Beibei came back to the dance studio, she realized that everyone was looking at her. She touched her face and wondered if there was something there.

At this moment, the door to the dance studio opened.

A tall man walked in, and everyone looked over curiously.

The man was wearing a pair of shiny leather shoes, black pants, and a black coat. He was almost 1.9 meters tall. The female dancers in the room weren’t short but they still had to look up when they looked at him.

He was wearing a black mask. After walking a few steps, he took off his mask and revealed his handsome face. A few girls’ jaws dropped as they exclaimed, “So handsome!”

“Who is that?”

“I don’t know. It’s my first time seeing him. Is he Captain’s friend?”

“Is he a celebrity? There’s an air about him that isn’t inferior to any celebrities. But he’s so handsome, it doesn’t make sense that 1 don’t recognize him.”

“He’s well-dressed and the watch he’s wearing is worth millions. He’s probably a rich second-generation heir.”

The girls discussed excitedly as they watched the man walk straight towards Fu Jin.

“He’s probably Captain Fu Jin’s friend. I must suck up to Fu Jin so I can ask for this man’s contact information. He’s a tall and handsome rich second-generation heir.. If he becomes my boyfriend, I’ll be so proud to be seen with him!”
