Jiang He couldn’t help but feel that Miss Mei and Master Si were truly a perfect match!

Just as he was lost in thought, Mei Shu gave him something to be cautious about.

Jiang He didn’t pay attention at all. It went in one ear and out the other. Even after Mei Shu finished speaking, he still looked bewildered.

Feeling embarrassed, Jiang Hai quickly pulled him aside. “Miss Mei, I’ve remembered all the instructions you gave. Rest assured, we’ll cooperate with Secretary Tang’s actions and make sure everything you arranged is done properly.”

“That’s good.” Mei Shu glanced at the media reporters who kept stealing glances in their direction from time to time. She quickly waved her hand to signal Jiang He and the others to leave first, not to crowd around the VIP area.

While they were discussing strategies, the competition had already entered the scoring phase.

With a high score of 96 points, Ruan Ning successfully surpassed Meng Yan and temporarily secured the highest score of the competition.

Meng Yan in the dressing room was so angry that her mouth twisted.

She didn’t expect Ruan Ning to come up with such a move without a word!

She had been aiming for the championship, but now, with Ruan Ning in the picture, she had no chance!

“Damn it!” Meng Yan slammed her phone onto the sofa, holding her shoulders with a posture that seemed ready to confront Ruan Ning when she returned!

Just then, there was a sudden commotion in the corridor outside.

Curious, Meng Yan opened the door and happened to run into Lin He, wearing a fluffy moon-white long skirt.

“Oh, isn’t this Teacher Feng’s new daughter? Your dress looks so familiar, it seems similar to Ruan Ning’s performance costume!” Meng Yan’s sarcastic remark inadvertently stung Lin He’s heart.

Lin He stopped in her tracks, maintaining a calm smile on her face. “I remember you’re a student at Lin City University?”

Meng Yan’s eyes were full of disdain. “Impressive that you can remember me at your age. So what? How does it feel for a divorced woman like you to compete with dancers younger than you?”

Lin He ignored her sarcasm, still smiling gracefully. “If all the younger dancers are like you in quality, then I think you still need more experience before you can step onto a bigger stage.”

“Are you saying I lack quality!”

Meng Yan looked down on Lin He as if she were nobody!

Who did she think she was?

Everyone in the circle knew that Teacher Feng’s newly recognized daughter was already a divorced second-hand item!

Did she, at her age, still dare to compare herself with these young and promising dancers?

Lin He smiled gently, gracefully saying, “Yes, I dare to say that. Dance competitions should be judged based on skill. Yet you value a person’s background and age. Isn’t that shallow?”

Meng Yan was furious, glaring and stomping her foot, viciously saying, “I want to see how much better you are than me later! If your score is not higher than mine, then it will be a joke!”

“Let’s wait and see.” Lin He ignored her and left with her skirt swaying gracefully, leaving Meng Yan still sulking in place.

Coincidentally, Ruan Ning returned from the front at this moment. Seeing her, Meng Yan remembered that she had lost to her by one point earlier, and became even more angry. “Do you even consider me a friend! Didn’t we agree that you wouldn’t steal my limelight? How come you ended up scoring one point higher than me?”

Ruan Ning felt speechless. However, with an innocent and pure smile on her face, she said, “Yanyan, the scores are decided by the judges. I can’t control anything. I didn’t mean to steal your spotlight. Don’t worry, maybe Master Si just happens to like your dance and is waiting for you to talk to him?”

Meng Yan was somewhat appeased by her words, but still sat on the sofa with a sullen face, holding up her skirt. “But what if he likes you more?”

“I’m not interested in him.”

Ruan Ning muttered silently in her heart. Seeing Meng Yan’s sulking face, she smiled wryly and said, “Alright, don’t overthink it. If Master Si liked me, he would have done so already. Don’t forget what I told you earlier, actually, our families still have some business dealings!”

Meng Yan calmed down a bit and gave her a fierce glare. “Then you must help me later! I’m worried that Mei Shu will keep bothering Master Si by his side! You have to find a way to get rid of her for me!”

“Don’t worry, leave it to me.” Ruan Ning smiled mysteriously.

By the time they smoothly executed the plan they had devised later, Mei Shu would definitely not be in the mood to cling to Lu Si anymore!

“Next, please welcome the dancer Lin He to present her original dance, Swan Dance!”

As the host finished speaking, a whisper of curiosity spread through the audience.

“Another swan dance? Why do the dancers this year seem to favor this genre so much?”

“Ruan Ning’s swan dance earlier was already at its peak in my mind. I’m not even interested in watching the one performed later!”

“Lin He, isn’t she Teacher Feng’s new daughter? Could it be that this is a plan orchestrated by Teacher Feng, intending to publicly challenge the Ruan family using Lin He?”

These voices from the audience all entered the ears of the judges without missing a word.
