Hai Lan's condition was much more serious, with a fracture and possible lasting damage to her ankle that might prevent her from dancing ever again. When Lu Dabao was discharged from the hospital, Sheng Ning and Wu Youli were bustling about, and she just happened to overhear the nurses' conversation.
"Wait a moment!" Sheng Ning helped Lu Dabao sit down on a chair in the hallway, then walked over to the nurses' station and asked with a smile, "Hello, I would like to ask about Hai Lan from our General Union Dance Troupe, how is her injury?"
The nurses, interrupted midway through their conversation, were a bit displeased. But when they turned around and saw Sheng Ning, their eyes lit up.
"Are you from the General Union?"
"Really! Oh my! You're even prettier in person than in the newspapers."
The nurses stopped their conversation and surrounded Sheng Ning with amazement, causing her to feel a bit embarrassed.
