Beijing-Hong Kong Rosemary

Chapter 179 Born for the Stage
Shen Guining left the Shen family without the slightest regret.

Qu Yanci took her hand tightly and led her into the car.

Through the car window, Shen Guining took one last look at the Shen family villa.

For her, this place was also a cage, but she was luckier than her mother. After seeing the true colors of her uncle and aunt's family, she tried her best to escape and become independent from the Shen family.

I never need to come back here again.

The car started and drove away slowly.

Shen Guining withdrew her gaze, then suddenly remembered something. "Aci, I want to donate my dividends from my shares in Shen's to those in need."

She only needs to keep a portion of her savings.

Qu Yanci suggested, "How about I help you set up a charitable foundation?"

Shen Guining nodded, "I want to do it in my mother's name."

"Okay, I'll have someone take care of it."

"Thank you."

Qu Yanci was displeased. "I don't like hearing you say those two words."

You need to be polite to foreign talent.

Shen Guining changed her mind, "Okay, then I won't say anything more."

However, she was truly grateful to Qu Yanci. If she hadn't met him, even if she had left the Shen family, she wouldn't have escaped the Zhou family's revenge.

The love that I lacked as a child is now being made up for in a different way by him.

She no longer needs to envy anyone.

April is the end of spring, and the weather is warming up.

Denmark has a temperate maritime climate, and the most comfortable temperature is 20°C outdoors—neither too hot nor too cold, just right for wearing a skirt.

The island is hosting a music festival these past two days, making the town exceptionally lively. Colorful flowers and balloons are everywhere, along with a parade of vehicles and various cartoon mascots for interactive fun, which is loved by both adults and children.

Zhu Sixuan happened to be on vacation and came here to play.

Shen Guining was invited by the organizers to warm up the audience for the music festival.

It took her seven months to finally be able to dance normally.

Only she knows the hardships she endured.

Having weathered a long period of hardship, and experienced despair, suffering, and pain, I never considered giving up.

Today she wore a red and white gradient modern Chinese-style dance dress. The light gauze fabric accentuated her exquisite figure, and the peonies embroidered on the skirt were lifelike. It was gentle, elegant, and graceful, a representative of Chinese style.

Standing on the stage after a long absence of one year and four months, Shen Guining felt a sense of both strangeness and familiarity. Unlike practicing dance in private, she couldn't help but feel nervous in front of the audience.

As dusk fell, the stage lights shone brightly. The accompanying music flowed like a gentle stream, clear and melodious.

Shen Guining's signature moves, such as the point step flip and the backward kick of the purple-gold crown, are characterized by light and graceful dance steps, a beautiful figure, and perfect flexibility, as if she could bend into any shape at will.

The audience was amazed and applauded enthusiastically.

"Chinese dance is amazing!"

Are all Chinese girls this beautiful?

"I like the dress she's wearing, where can I buy it?"

"It's a pity I don't have her figure..."

Shen Guining stepped down from the stage, her forehead covered in a fine layer of sweat.

My ankle is aching slightly.

The aftereffects of the fracture cause her pain every time she finishes dancing, but she's almost used to it.

Zhu Sixuan pushed through the crowd to find her, took out a pack of tissues from her pocket and handed it to her, "Ningning, you were glowing when you danced! You were so beautiful!"

Shen Guining is a perfect example of the saying that some people are born for the stage and become the main character under the spotlight, attracting everyone's attention.

"It's been so long since I've been on stage, I was so nervous my palms were sweating."

Zhu Sixuan smiled and said, "You still don't understand your own strength. You don't need to be nervous at all."

Shen Guining's eyes sparkled as she pulled out a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

Zhu Sixuan took her hand and said, "Let's go get something to eat, I'm starving."

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes first."

"Oh, don't change it. Your dress is so pretty. The two girls standing next to me just now were looking for the same style of dress online."

Unfortunately, her dress was a designer custom-made piece, and there's no way to find the same style online. Even if the style is similar, the fabric and cut cannot be replicated.

Shen Guining was too lazy to change it.

Zhu Sixuan said she wanted to experience a seaside restaurant, so Shen Guining booked two seats in advance yesterday.

At 7:30, the car pulled up and stopped beside the coastal highway.

Night fell, and the sea was pitch black.

The beach is usually bustling with people strolling along, but it seemed unusually quiet tonight.

After walking for a while by the moonlight, Shen Guining wondered, "Why is it so dark today? The streetlights aren't on?"
