She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 64: Chapter 064: Trouble Again at Night

“President, cool down, please don’t chase after him anymore. If word gets out and the Lady hears you hit your son again, you won’t be able to enter your house.” Xiao Tao had just finished speaking when he realized he had spoken too quickly and said something he shouldn’t have.

How could their imposing president be afraid of his wife! It would be embarrassing to admit.

“Xiao Tao, what did you just say?” Shen Feihu asked seriously as he returned to his office.

“President, I didn’t say anything. What I meant was, everyone is saying Mr. Shen is the son you picked up and Captain Xu is your biological son, so you can’t be biased anymore.”

“If only that were true, but sadly I don’t have a daughter, otherwise having a son-in-law would be great! A son-in-law is like half a son.” Shen Feihu stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Xiao Tao couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh; their president was beyond help.

If the President’s wife wouldn’t let him in the house that evening, he would have to sleep in his office.

*********

That evening, Sheng Ning returned to his room, washed up, and lay in bed reading a book while the lights were still on.

Zhao Feifei and Wu Youli hadn’t come back yet. Zhang Hongmei was knitting a sweater on the upper bunk; the mohair yarn had already been shaped into the outline of a sweater by her skillful hands, clearly intended for a man, given its large size.

Sheng Ning put down his book, looking enviously at Zhang Hongmei, “Hong Mei, can you teach me how to knit sweaters too?” She was skilled at many things and had attended the most professional domestic training, but she had never learned to knit sweaters. In her previous life after being released from prison, sweaters had practically been phased out.

Most people preferred to buy ready-made ones.

If she could knit one with her own hands for her mom and dad, they would surely be delighted.

“Sure, if you want to learn, I’ll teach you.”

“Great! I’ll go buy some yarn once I get my allowance this month.” Sheng Ning, who used to spend money freely, was now financially tight after her rebirth and was waiting for the union’s allowance because she couldn’t afford anything otherwise.

“I know a place where it’s cheap and the quality is good, sold by a fellow villager of ours, I’ll take you there after we return from the training camp.”

“Okay!” After agreeing on this, Sheng Ning, too tired to keep his eyes open any longer, placed his book under his pillow and prepared to sleep.

Just as he closed his eyes, Zhao Feifei and Wu Youli came back, laughing and chatting.

“Feifei, keep your voice down, everyone is asleep,” Wu Youli reminded.

“Why should I keep my voice down? Just because of someone annoying who just arrived?” Zhao Feifei’s voice grew louder as she spoke, and she even slammed the basin she was holding down with a loud clang. Not just their roommates, but even those in the next room could hear clearly.

“Feifei, how could you say that?” Wu Youli looked at Zhao Feifei in disbelief; her friend, who had always been gentle and kind, had somehow become so harsh.

No matter what bad things others said about Sheng Ning, as long as Sheng Ning hadn’t done anything bad to her, she believed she had no right to judge others.

Besides, rumors should not be taken seriously.

“What do you mean? Wu Youli, am I your friend, or is she your friend?” Zhao Feifei was frustrated after a day of things not going her way.

She had tried to change rooms in the afternoon but was refused, which had annoyed her greatly.

Zhang Hongmei, sleeping on the upper bunk above Sheng Ning, stopped knitting when she heard Zhao Feifei’s voice and looked worriedly at Sheng Ning below her.

Sheng Ning was hot-tempered, and Zhao Feifei, who insinuated insults indirectly, would definitely not be tolerated by her.

“Feifei, of course, you’re my friend. But since we all live in one dorm, we need to get along well,” Wu Youli, visibly upset, spoke with tears welling up in her eyes.
