Lin Qianchen had noticed Shui Anluo and her eyes flashed with malice.

Shui Anluo stared straight into her eyes. She had not done anything wrong so she had no need to be afraid of her.

Lin Qianchen glared at Shui Anluo and coldly remarked, “Shui Anluo, you’re more scheming than I thought.”

It was pouring with rain outside as Shui Anluo stood upright in front of her. She curled the corners of her lips and rebuked, “Speaking of schemes, Teacher Lin, I concede defeat to you. It’s just unfortunate that Heaven sees all. Lin Qianchen, out of the kindness of my heart, I’m going to give you a suggestion — the walls have ears. Don’t think that you’re like Conan, thinking that no one would ever find out what you’ve done.” After Shui Anluo slowly murmured into her ear, she turned around and got into the car.

Chu Ningyi ordered Uncle Chu to start the car and did not spare Lin Qianchen a single glance.

As Lin Qianchen angrily watched them leave, Qiao Huihe’s car stopped in front of her.

“Get in the car,” Qiao Huihe invited helplessly.

Lin Qianchen was shaken and she stood unmoving on the spot.

“Grandmother, I...”

Qiao Huihe did not make things difficult for her either but Lin Qianchen was drenched in rainwater. “Qianchen, you’ve really disappointed me.” Even though she was protective of Lin Qianchen, that does not mean she was satisfied with Lin Qianchen’s actions.

Lin Qianchen felt absolutely desolate. After being put on the spot by Chu Ningyi, she now has to face Qiao Huihe’s disappointment.

“Grandmother, I really...”

“Regardless of your reasons, you shouldn’t have done something like that. Next time, Qianchen, as a doctor, you must remember what you can do and what you can’t,” chided Qiao Huie sternly.

Qiao Huihe asked the driver to start the car and left. Lin Qianchen stared at the sky and a stream of tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes.

“I thought you were a smart woman but I did not expect you to commit suicide with such an idiotic method.”

Yuan Jiayi’s mocking tone suddenly rang out behind her. ¹

Lin Qianchen clenched her fists as an endless stream of hatred sprinted into her heart.

After the car drove off, Shui Anluo tapped the water droplets from her arm and stared at the faraway Lin Qianchen and Yuan Jiayi. She could resist her curiosity and turned towards Chu Ningyi.

“What happened to Yuan Jiayi’s leg?” Shui Anluo asked. “Was it because of that last fall?” Shui Anluo’s voice was filled with disbelief. Did she not just slip and fall on the runway? How could that fall have crippled her?

“It’s an old issue, congenital hip dysplasia,” Chu Ningyi explained.

When Shui Anluo heard this, she was shocked. She then exclaimed with regret, “She sacrificed the use of her legs to walk the runway.”

She had heard about this issue before and there were some key points mentioned in her books. This illness was not typically considered to be a chronic one. It was a common thing in the southeast region but if it was not serious, it should not affect one’s daily life.

However, as Yuan Jiayi had this problem and continued to wear high heels to do catwalks from day to night, Shui Anluo had only a few words for her – you reap what you sow!

“Was she not aware that she had this illness? Or was she so in love with a model’s career?” Shui Anluo clicked her tongue.

“She liked the feeling of being on stage. Perhaps it was the feeling of having everyone’s eyes on her.” Chu Ningyi looked down to straighten his clothes. It was a lie to say that he did not feel sorry for Lin Qianchen. After all, they had been friends for more than ten years. However, he felt more sympathy towards the change in her.

Shui Anluo looked up but would not pity Yuan Jiayi because it was not worth it.

“Another mad person enjoys the feeling of being on stage too.” ShuI Anluo thought about the megastar, Feng Feng, and could not resist blurting this out loud.

“Old fourth is just afraid of being lonely,” Once Chu Ningyi finished straightening his sleeve, he turned towards Shui Anluo.
