Shen Tang turned to look at Sun Qian, stood up, and walked out of the courtyard.

"What's wrong?" Shen Tang asked her coldly.

"Do you like Yang Chaoyang?" Sun Qian asked loudly.

Shen Tang frowned; this guy had come looking for trouble.

"I like it," Shen Tang said frankly.

"You, you shameless!" Sun Qian cursed.

She had expected Shen Tang to deny it vehemently, but she never expected Shen Tang to admit it so readily.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Yang Xinyue frowned.

What does Shen Tang mean by this?

Shen Tang strode forward: "I just like Yang Chaoyang. He's upright and has a strong sense of justice. Unlike some people, whose hearts are filthy, everything they see is filthy!"

"You clearly have improper thoughts about Yang Chaoyang," Sun Qian pointed at her and cursed. "Your mother-in-law said you're keeping a lover in the countryside, and it's definitely true! You're a shameless, promiscuous, and despicable woman!"

Shen Tang grabbed Sun Qian's hair.

"Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!" Four loud slaps were delivered.

Sun Qian was so dizzy from the beating that she almost couldn't stand up.

Yang Xinyue exclaimed in shock, "Ah—Shen Tang, how could you hit someone!"

Shen Tang turned to look at her and said angrily, "She deserved to be beaten. If anyone dares to gossip again, I'll rip their tongue out!"

Yang Xinyue stared at her in shock. Shen Tang's face was full of fierceness, as if she would come up and rip out Yang Xinyue's tongue at any moment.

She wanted to warn Shen Tang to stay away from her brother, but all her words got stuck in her throat.

"Ah—Shen Tang hit someone—"

After catching her breath, Sun Qian immediately shouted.

"What are you yelling about?"

Ge Aihua changed into a suit and came out of the room.

"She framed me," Shen Tang said bluntly.

"I didn't," Sun Qian cried, covering her swollen face. "She hit me..."

"Alright, I heard everything in the room just now," Ge Aihua said.

She looked at Sun Qian sternly: "Sun Qian, your suspicion of others will have many negative consequences. Have you thought about that?"

"I was there too. Shen Tang didn't do anything inappropriate to Yang Chaoyang," Ge Aihua turned to Yang Xinyue. "Xinyue, don't you agree?"

Yang Xinyue clenched her fist and said, "I think Shen Tang should keep her distance. After all, her younger brother is young and can't resist temptation..."

"Who the hell tempted him?" Shen Tang said angrily. "You're the one who ran back and said your brother got beaten up, so I went over. And now you're blaming me?"

Yang Xinyue, you don't need to pretend to be so innocent and pitiful all the time. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You should be grateful I haven't told anyone about the scum you've done!

"Let me tell you clearly today, I have no interest in either Lu Jingshen or your brother! Do you understand?"

Shen Tang had been holding in a lot of anger, and now she finally felt relieved.

For a moment, everyone stared at her in shock, and no one said a word.

Yang Xinyue's fingernails dug tightly into her palm.

Did she say those awful things she did were from that night?

She said she wasn't interested in Lu Jingshen. But Lu Jingshen said that Shen Tang was dragging her feet on getting a divorce. Was Lu Jingshen lying to her all along?

Lu Jingshen stood in the small courtyard next to him, looking at Shen Tang, and the corners of his mouth curved up.

She said she wasn't interested in any of them.

But he wasn't mentioned.

Sun Qian sobbed and said, "But, but she slapped me several times."

"What, you want to fight back?" Huo Xiuyuan walked out of the courtyard.

Sun Qian choked.

But she couldn't just accept it like that.

"She needs to apologize to me," Sun Qian said.

"You framed her first, and she hit you afterwards. Shouldn't you be the one apologizing first?" Huo Xiuyuan looked coldly at Sun Qian.

"This isn't the first time you've caused trouble. If you didn't want to join this performing arts troupe, you could just pack your bags and leave!" Huo Xiuyuan said sternly.

Sun Qian bit her lip hard, glared fiercely at Shen Tang, and walked back.

Huo Xiuyuan looked at Yang Xinyue, "Is there anything else?"

Yang Xinyue glanced at Shen Tang and then walked towards the dormitory.

Shen Tang glared fiercely at Huo Xiuyuan.

Why pretend to be a good person? You were just saying the same things about her as they were.

She turned and went back to Ge Aihua's courtyard without any appreciation.

Huo Xiuyuan frowned slightly.

Why are you unhappy again? What did I do to upset her?

Ge Aihua glanced at Huo Xiuyuan and then returned to the courtyard.

Shen Tang slumped over the table, feeling utterly annoyed.

What the hell is all this nonsense!

Did she come into the book just to get involved in all this mess?

She wants to make money, to get rich quick! Only with money can she have confidence.

Shen Tang took a deep breath and looked at Ge Aihua, saying:

"Commander Ge, could you help me get in touch with a record company? I want to sell my songs to them."

Ge Aihua frowned and said, "There are very few record companies in mainland China. You can ask Huo Xiuyuan; his maternal grandfather is in Guangdong."

Shen Tang pouted.

She doesn't want to talk to him right now.

"Shen Tang, do you want to make money?" Ge Aihua asked.

"Yeah, do you have any good connections?"

Ge Aihua tugged at her skirt suit and said:

"Isn't this a ready-made way? You can sell your designs to garment factories."

"That's right!" Shen Tang's eyes lit up.

She immediately took out paper and pen and began to draw.

Ge Aihua watched from the side, occasionally offering her opinions.

Shen Tang stayed at Ge Aihua's place until very late before heading back.

As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, she saw Huo Xiuyuan standing at the gate of his own courtyard.

Shen Tang glanced at him, then turned to leave.

"Wait a moment," Huo Xiuyuan called out to her.

Shen Tang turned around coldly. "What are you doing?"

"Here you go." Huo Xiuyuan handed a stack of documents to Shen Tang.

Shen Tang took it with a puzzled look.

It's English exam material!

Shen Tang looked through the documents and smiled.

This question type isn't difficult; if you review it a few times, you'll definitely pass.

"Thank you." She looked up at Huo Xiuyuan.

"Still angry?" Huo Xiuyuan asked, lowering his eyes.

"I'm not angry anymore," Shen Tang said with a smile, tilting her head.

"Let's go." Shen Tang carried the documents and walked towards the dormitory.

Huo Xiuyuan watched her walk back to her dormitory, a slight smile playing on his lips.

It's really fun.

The next day, all the trainees arrived.

Ge Aihua announced the list of selected candidates.

All six of Shen Tang's roommates stayed behind, while only Yang Xinyue, Sun Qian, Liu Ping, and Chen Yanhong from Team One remained.

For convenience, everyone will be moving into dormitories closer to the dance studio.

Shen Tang was packing her bags.

Suddenly, Sun Qian pulled a large coat from Shen Tang's bundle and held it high in her hand.

She exclaimed in surprise, "How come there's a man's garment here? It's so big!"

Shen Tang frowned.

Oh no! I forgot to return it to Huo Xiuyuan.

Yang Xinyue slowly took a few steps forward and said gently:

"Shen Tang, this outfit doesn't look like Lu Jingshen's."
