Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As Mrs. Ge was being corrected by Zhao Chuchu, she bared her teeth and said, “Mrs. Xie, it is a little bit painful.”
Zhao Chuchu assured her, saying, “Don’t worry. I know how far I should push you. Remember this posture. It’s okay if you can’t do it correctly in the beginning. Take it slowly, and you’ll gradually improve.”
“I’ll try my best,” said Mrs. Ge with a dejected face.
By the time Zhao Chuchu finished correcting everyone’s movements, an hour had already passed.
She gave them some time to practice on their own, then she rallied them together for a second round of dance.
She stood in the front and led the dance again.
The ladies were all used to living luxurious lifestyles with everything prepared for them.
For them, following that dance choreographed by Zhao Chuchu was more torturing than climbing up the mountains to visit the temple.
When the song finished playing, everyone was so exhausted that they couldn’t speak.
Zhao Chuchu instructed, saying, “Lees have a short break. We’ll dance another round after the break and that will be all for today.”
Someone exclaimed, “There’s another round? Mrs. Xie, you’re joking with us, right?”
Another lady added, “Mrs. Xie, I really can’t move anymore. This is more tiring than giving birth.”
“I think that’s enough for today. I’m so tired now. I wonder whether or not I’ll be able to get up tomorrow.”
The ladies complained non-stop.
Zhao Chuchu insisted, “No. You need to dance another round. Considering that you’re not fit yet, I didn’t force all of you to dance for 30 minutes straight. You haven’t reached your limits. You need to move your bodies! You must put in more effort if you want to be prettier. Very few women are innately beautiful.
Most women are gorgeous because they work hard to maintain their figures.”
A woman retorted, “But I really can’t move another inch. My legs are not mine anymore?’
“I still have many other matters to attend to at home. Shall we stop here today?”
“Mrs. Xie, we didn’t spend money to come here and be tortured.”
The last statement made Zhao Chuchu laugh. She asked, “So, are you willing to spend money on your husband’s concubines just to have them provoke your anger? I am making you suffer in order to make you become a better person. The concubines make you angry and cause you to look worse.”
She added, “Besides, I warned you before we started. Once we start, you cannot drop out of the program no matter what. Even if you don’t come to the center,
I’ll visit your home personally to drag you here. Oh right! Don’t you feel assured that just because you have a lot of guards at home, I’ll not be able to force you to come here. No one can stop me!”
A lady pleaded, “Mrs. Xie, don’t we get to choose whether or not we want to come here? We are not asking you to refund us our money. I’m truly terrified of coming to this Ruyu Center again. It’s too tiring. I can’t handle this stress.”
“You can’t say no now. When you don’t feel like coming, think about this. Instead of becoming a grumpy wife at home, why don’t you try to change yourself? Trust me. If you persevere, you will fall in love with exercising. It’s similar to shopping for pretty clothes and accessories. It will make you happy.”
“But… ”
Zhao Chuc.hu interrupted the lady, saying, “No buts! Alright, everyone, stand up! Regulate your breathing. We’ll dance one last time. Whoever refuses to move, I will make them stay, and they will get a personal lesson from me!”
Getting a personal lesson from Zhao Chuchu sounded way too frightening for the ladies.
Even those who initially planned to lie down or disobey her order stood up immediately.
Their limbs were like jelly now. Yet, Zhao Chuchu showed no sign of tiredness.
If they wanted to leave the Ruyu Center today, they had to obey her order. Otherwise, they might not be able to leave this room forever!
“Start the music!”
As the music began, Mrs. Ge and the rest of the ladies gritted their teeth and followed Zhao Chuchu’s movements. All of them had ugly expressions on their faces.
Even though their rhythm was a mess, they did not dare to stop. They feared being detained by Zhao Chuchu.
The more readily they paid at the start, the more they wanted to run away now.
Unfortunately, it seemed that they would not have the opportunity to do so.
After the third set ended, the women were truly drenched in sweat. The exquisite makeup on their faces was ruined, and they could barely maintain their breathing.
“I feel so tired…” someone breathed out loud.
Zhao Chuchu replied, “It’s normal to feel tired. However, think of the main reason you came here. You hope to become prettier, right? Being fat doesn’t make you ugly, but being overweight makes you prone to all kinds of diseases. The Ruyu Center will not turn all of you into hemp stalks. Instead, I will help you to achieve the optimal weight suitable for your age.”
“Mrs. Xie, will we be able to get up tomorrow?
“Of course, you will. So, next, follow me in cooling down. As long as you cool down properly, it can help alleviate your soreness. Later, I will also give all of you a free medicine bag for your baths. I guarantee that you will feel refreshed when you get up tomorrow. You will not end up unable to walk..”
