Chapter 557 - 0557: Surprise Inspection 3_1
As Feng Qingxue said this, she was reminded of an incident.
Fang Ning, a soprano singer of a future generation, was a true singer and artist. She never meddled with messy affairs, even though she was renowned worldwide, she only performed for the morale-boosting shows within the military. At this moment, she was merely 22 years old. Although she was not exceptionally beautiful, she was considered a beauty with her natural and stately charm, which made people feel comfortable looking at her.
Such a beauty did not marry any high-ranking military officials nor did she become anyone’s mistress. Instead, she remained single for her entire life. The reason was because in the year ’64, during one of the military’s morale-boosting shows, a strict inspection caught her with a love letter she had just received and hadn’t had the chance to destroy.
According to Fang Ning’s memories before her death, the love letter was received just as a New Year’s Eve party was ending. She did not know who slipped it to her amidst the chaos. She hid in her blanket late that night, using a flashlight to read the letter before hiding it in her clothes, planning to destroy it the next day. But the inspection was too abrupt and she never got the chance.
She was an innocent bystander caught up in an inspection that was not originally aimed at her.
This love letter sent her and the soldier who pursued her into a deep abyss.
Various criticisms, attacks, and rejections soon followed.
From then on, Fang Ning could no longer perform on stage. She had to do various chores in the art troupe, facing the mockery and ridicule of her colleagues. During exceptional times, she suffered a lot. The seized love letter became a lifelong fetter. Whenever someone had spare time, they would drag her out to openly criticize her. The verbal abuse was unimaginably harsh, and she often suffered physical bullying as well.
This experience made her give up on the idea of marriage, even though there were quite a few high-ranking officials and rich businessmen willing to marry her openly.
