A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

"Chat?"

A cold voice rang in Tang Qiuqiao's ears, startling her.

She first glanced at the person next to her in disbelief, then took a step to the side as if she had seen a ghost.

But soon, she seemed to realize that her reaction was a bit embarrassing, so she walked back with her chest puffed out.

Tang Qiuqiao asked An Ning angrily, "How dare you come up next to me?"

An Ning smiled and said, "I'm not the one doing the bad thing, so why wouldn't I dare?"

Tang Qiuqiao's words were rebuffed, and thinking about it, it seemed to make sense, but she was not willing to give up at all.

The damage to those costumes cost her more than two hundred yuan in compensation.

Although it was only a small fraction of her family's savings, how could she accept giving the money away for nothing when her goal hadn't even been achieved?

So after thinking it over, she decided to come and go beachcombing.

If you happen to find some rare seafood, you can easily sell it for ten or so yuan, or at least make two or three yuan.

"What do you want from me?" Tang Qiuqiao's imposing manner suddenly weakened.

"There are some things I haven't figured out, so I wanted to come and ask you about them?"

Why should I answer you?

Tang Qiuqiao's words were barbed and sarcastic, but An Ning didn't care at all. Instead, she continued to ask Tang Qiuqiao what she wanted to know.

"There shouldn't be any major conflict between us, right? It's just kids playing around at most, so why are you so hostile towards me?"

"none of your business!"

"You did this just to frame me, do you think it was worth it?"

Whether it's worth it or not is up to me to decide.

"Even if you succeed, at most I'll just have to pay for the clothes. I'm just visiting relatives here, and I'll be going back soon. It won't have that much of an impact on my husband. Even so, do you think it's worth it?"

Tang Qiuqiao remained silent.

Yes, they are different.

If she is willing to return to Shanghai, the impact of this incident on her husband will certainly be much less.

But she didn't want to.

Although the island was poor and underdeveloped, her husband had assured her that he had brought her here to enjoy a life of comfort, where she wouldn't have to work or live with her parents and four siblings in a cramped old apartment. All she had to do was take care of the children.

Her older brother treated her quite well, but only after she left and her original room became his bridal chamber. Only then would he occasionally send her son nice things back.

Her parents were also worried about her going so far away and feared she would suffer, so they would send her money from time to time.

Plus, if you casually leave some unwanted things out here, you'll be surrounded by those bumpkins who fawn over you, and you'll live a life that's incredibly comfortable.

If she slunk back now, would there still be a place for her in the family?

Will she still enjoy the same treatment as she does now?

It is absolutely impossible.

She was unwilling to go back, so her husband had to use his connections to arrange a transfer.

Anning continued, "It should take some time before your husband's transfer order comes through, right? Do you intend to endure everyone's cold treatment during this time?"

"Does answering your question mean I won't have to face your cold shoulder?" Tang Qiuqiao mocked.

“I can make everyone stop paying attention to you before you leave. Of course, it’s impossible for you to go back to the state where you were praised by everyone,” Anning said.

She's not the kind of person who repays evil with kindness, and she certainly wouldn't stop her from leaving.

Although Tang Qiuqiao may have been instigated by others, she had already done it, and she deserved the consequences.

Tang Qiuqiao was silent for a moment before finally speaking, "What do you want to know?"

"I just asked you, why are you so hostile towards me?"

"You caused such a big scene with Wang Xiuying as soon as you arrived. How could I have a good impression of you? Sure enough, not long after, you took sides with Zhao Xuemei's son, and later even took on a program that I didn't want to perform, which embarrassed me. Shouldn't I hate you?"

“I don’t think the word ‘hate’ should be said so lightly. Besides, you yourself didn’t want to participate in that program. Xuemei and I were the ones cleaning up your mess.”

"Ah."

Tang Qiuqiao completely ignored An Ning's words, instead remaining immersed in her own world of grievances.

"Then how did you come up with the idea of ​​framing me in this way?"

Tang Qiuqiao stopped and turned to look at An Ning: "What do you mean by that? Do you think I can't come up with such a good idea?"

"First of all, I don't think this method is that good. If it were me, I would have a million ways to make you suffer in silence. Secondly, I just want to know your thought process at the time, what inspired you to do this."

"Of course because..."

Tang Qiuqiao suddenly froze at this point.

Why?

How did she come up with the idea of ​​framing Shen Anning by tearing her costume?

Isn't it because Qiao Shanshan's words implied that she should be wary of Shen Anning and Zhao Xuemei sabotaging their performance costumes?

And then there's Qiao Shanshan. She didn't actually know the other person; the other person approached her on their own initiative, and it was the other person who brought up the idea of ​​her reapplying for a program.

It was well past the time to submit the program, but Qiao Shanshan said she was Commander Li's niece and that she had a way to get the program submitted, so she came up with this new program.

So, she always thought she was getting revenge on Shen Anning, but in reality, she was being used as a pawn.

"Do you have a grudge against Qiao Shanshan?" Tang Qiuqiao blurted out.

In that instant, her heart was filled with regret.

If she hadn't listened to Qiao Shanshan, would things have turned out differently?

But she had no evidence.

Recalling their conversation, the other party never said anything to ask her to do so; it was all his own imagination.

If I said that, how many people would believe me?

"No," Shen Anning denied. "I've only been in the army for a short time, how could I possibly know her? I'd like to ask you if you know why she's targeting me!"

Tang Qiuqiao fell silent again, then after a moment, she finally burst out laughing: "Haha...hahahaha! You wouldn't know?"

"Why do I know?"

"You even know that she's targeting you, so why did you testify against me that day?"

An unnamed rage welled up within Tang Qiuqiao.

An Ning knew about this.

She knew perfectly well that it wasn't her intention, but she still pretended not to know and dragged her out...

Did she force you to do this?

Tang Qiuqiao's expression instantly fell.

No.

But she couldn't bring herself to say it.

All she could do was use hysteria to cover up her guilty conscience.

"She's no good, and neither are you. Just you wait. Since she's targeting you, given her background and abilities, she'll never give up. You'll end up like me sooner or later! Hahahahahaha!"

Tang Qiuqiao laughed loudly and walked away, while An Ning remained where she was until the other person disappeared from sight.
