Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Cutting Off the Obsession

Zhang Sheng simply couldn’t continue sitting there; he felt too ashamed to face Luo Yanqing and wanted to vanish from his sight as quickly as possible.

Luo Yanqing: ”Hmm.” His expression remained indifferent. After Zhang Sheng left, he casually capped the liquor bottle and sat for a while longer, then called the waiter to pack up.

When he got home, the moment Zhang Sheng saw his wife Loo Ping, regardless of their children being present, he sternly said, ”Follow me to the study.”

”What’s wrong?”

Loo Ping was puzzled.

Zhang Sheng didn’t answer.

Once the two of them had entered the study one after the other, Loo Ping frowned deeply: ”You and that Luo Yanqing were fine when you went out. How come you look so embarrassed now, as if you’ve been dipped in ink?”

Zhang Sheng paced back and forth in the study with his hands on his hips. Then he stopped in front of his wife Loo Ping and demanded with dissatisfaction, ”Why on earth are you bothering Luo Yanqing’s wife?”

”...” Loo Ping felt utterly baffled: ”When did I bother that vixen? And who told you I’ve been bothering that vixen?”

Zhang Sheng glared angrily: ”Still saying you haven’t bothered her?! If you haven’t, then what’s all this about a vixen from your mouth?”

Loo Ping: ”I...”

Zhang Sheng: ”Don’t forget, you’re a people’s teacher!”

Loo Ping: ”Can’t you speak properly?”

Zhang Sheng scoffed, ”Speak properly? How do you expect me to speak properly with you? Luo Yanqing called me out from my home to say just one sentence to me. Do you know how embarrassed I felt when I heard it?”

”What did he say to you?” As soon as she asked, Loo Ping seemed to realize something, her face showing astonishment: ”It couldn’t be that Luo Yanqing came looking for you to stand up for his wife, accusing me of calling his new bride a vixen? But how would he know about that?”

Zhang Sheng said irritably, ”You ask me, but whom should I ask?”

”I don’t think I said anything wrong. You didn’t see...”

Loo Ping didn’t think she was at fault, but her voice gradually softened: ”The vixen remark was something I mentioned casually to Xiao Su from across the street at Comrade Wen’s house during lunch today. It was just the two of us, there shouldn’t have been a third person to know.”

Zhang Sheng didn’t respond to that but asked instead, ”Did she provoke you?”

Loo Ping: ”No, she didn’t.”

”If she hasn’t provoked you, why are you speaking so carelessly in front of Wen Siyuan’s wife?” Zhang Sheng questioned.

”Can’t I dislike how she looks? She’s enchantingly beautiful, and not even a few days after moving into the compound, she’s buying washing machines, TVs, sewing machines, bicycles, radios... Such arrogance just infuriates me!”

”Aren’t you stretching the truth a bit? Loo Ping, no matter how she looks or what she bought after entering Luo Yanqing’s house, it has nothing to do with us. Besides, your job is to educate; aren’t you worried that if someone heard what you said, it would spread to your school?”

”I...”

Zhang Sheng sighed deeply at this point, his face expressing bitterness: ”I’ve been looking for an opportunity... hoping to join Luo Yanqing’s research group. But you, you just had to run your mouth and now you’ve completely dashed my hopes.”

”Is it really that serious?” Loo Ping was at a loss for what to do for a moment. After thinking, she said, ”Why don’t... Why don’t I find a time to apologize to Kang Li at the Luo Family?”

Zhang Sheng was silent for a long while, then shook his head: ”Forget it.”

”But didn’t you want to...” Before Loo Ping could finish, Zhang Sheng interrupted her: ”I know what you’re trying to say, but all I can do is just think about it. If I really propose to change research groups to the leadership, I’m afraid it would be difficult to stay at the institute any longer.”
