Shen Yanshan's gaze was blatant, with scorching flames dancing in his dark eyes, as if he was about to pounce on her the next second.
Li Chuchu's hair stood on end as the memories of last night came rushing back. She instinctively took a step back, only to find her calf hitting the corner of the bed. Her body lost control and she fell backward, landing on the edge of the bed.
Shen Yanshan let out a teasing chuckle and leaned close to Li Chuchu's ear. "We used that one last night. How was the experience?"
This... this...
Li Chuchu blushed furiously and retorted in a low voice, "Don't you know whether it's good or not?"
He just wanted to tease her.
Little did he know that the sight of her sitting on the bed, her cheeks flushed with shyness and her eyes slightly panicked, was nothing short of a blatant invitation in Shen Yanshan's eyes.
It was like an alluring temptation in broad daylight.
His throat tightened and he quickly straightened up. He coughed lightly and pretended to be calm. "I think it was quite good."
He had only intended to have a bit of fun with Li Chuchu, but he never expected her to be so alluring. He almost lost control of himself.
He meant to tease but ended up being the one seduced.
Sure enough, Li Chuchu was truly a master at playing these games.
Shen Yanshan turned his back to hide his embarrassment.
Li Chuchu: Just breathing.
Shen Yanshan: A master manipulator.
...
Shen Yanshan stayed at home for a short while and then went out.
Li Chuchu was at home when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside.
She glanced out of the window and saw Liu Xiaocheng.
Li Chuchu's curiosity was instantly piqued.
Oh my! This guy hasn't been home for days. People might think he's found a new home at school. But judging from his angry expression, she suddenly thought of Luo Yingshu.
Could it be that Luo Yingshu has started to take action?
Li Chuchu's eyes lit up. She immediately got out of bed, pushed open the door, and went next door to call Aunt Wang.
"Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang," Li Chuchu lifted a corner of the curtain at Aunt Wang's door and whispered.
Aunt Wang heard the sound and quickly pulled down the apron around her waist. She scurried over on small steps. "What's going on?"
Li Chuchu pointed in the direction of the Liu family's house.
At that moment, Liu Xiaocheng's furious voice came from there. "Mom! Did Luo Yingshu come here these days? Why didn't you tell me? Luo Yingshu caused a scene at our school today! I'm on the verge of losing my job!"
Aunt Wang's eyes widened in surprise. She mouthed to Li Chuchu, "Are they arguing?" Li Chuchu quickly nodded. The two of them found a good spot to eavesdrop and sat down, pricking up their ears.
The long - awaited drama finally had a follow - up.
How could they not be excited?
Old Mrs. Liu looked terrified. "How could she cause a scene at school? Doesn't she care about your reputation as a teacher at all?"
She was living a leisurely life at home. Supported by her son's salary and served by the "future daughter - in - law" who tried every means to please her, she just sat around waiting for meals every day, which was much better than when she lived with her second son.
All she thought about now was how to get Zhang Yu and her son married quickly and have a grandson, so as to show up Luo Yingshu.
Liu Xiaocheng was extremely annoyed.
"Mom, are you out of your mind? She wants a divorce from me. How could she care about me? She said I had an affair during the marriage, that I and my mistress took over her house and kicked her and the child out. Now she's even crying in front of our school leaders."
As he said this,
Liu Xiaocheng was filled with resentment.
Although everyone understood the situation, he still couldn't believe that Luo Yingshu, who used to put him first in everything and regarded his status as a teacher more important than her own reputation, would come up with such a way to ruin him.
This woman was so heartless!
He gritted his teeth in hatred but was helpless.
For the first time, Liu Xiaocheng felt so helpless and angry.
Zhang Yu stood at the door, her face as white as a sheet.
"Brother Liu..."
Liu Xiaocheng saw her at a glance. She was thin and small, with dark skin, a typical rural girl. She was no match for Luo Yingshu at all. For the first time in a long while, he felt that this woman was a disaster. His family used to be harmonious, with a virtuous wife and filial child. But everything changed after he met her!
She was a disaster!
Liu Xiaocheng's eyes darkened.
He grabbed Zhang Yu's hand and pulled her out. "Get out! Get out of my house!"
Zhang Yu was pushed by Liu Xiaocheng and fell to the ground, wailing loudly. Her cries even alerted the neighbors in the next yard.
She hugged Liu Xiaocheng's leg and cried bitterly:
"Brother Liu, don't drive me away! I'm begging you. We're already like husband and wife. I'll be yours in life and in death. You can't abandon me!"
Her wailing was so loud that even the well - experienced Aunt Wang stared in shock.
Goodness! This was the first time she had seen such a shameless girl wailing like this in broad daylight.
Zhang Yu had always been worried about this day. Liu Xiaocheng seemed gentle and refined, but he was actually selfish and cowardly. Since she had chosen this path, she had no other choice but to stake her reputation and dignity to force his hand.
So she deliberately made a scene when the neighbors were around, hoping to put Liu Xiaocheng on the spot and get an answer from him.
Liu Xiaocheng's face turned a strange shade of red and blue.
He couldn't even break free from Zhang Yu. His glasses fell to the ground during the scuffle and shattered into pieces.
These glasses were bought for him by Luo Yingshu at a high price.
Now that they were broken, it was all over.
...
The neighbors gathered around to watch.
Everyone was looking at the Liu family's drama as if it was a joke, and no one stepped forward to help.
Old Mrs. Liu was completely at a loss after hearing her son's words.
"Then... what should we do? Let's go and ask Luo Yingshu what she really wants. If she wants to come back, she can. Why does she have to cause a scene at school?"
Compared to a daughter - in - law, her son's job was more important.
A daughter - in - law could be retrained if she came back, but if her son lost his job, it would be the end of everything.
Hearing this, Zhang Yu felt a wave of despair. She never thought that after getting along with Old Mrs. Liu for so long, the old woman didn't care about her at all. Since that was the case, there was only one way left...
Liu Xiaocheng's expression changed several times after hearing his mother's words.
He knew that Luo Yingshu was causing a scene because she wanted a divorce, but a divorce was not beneficial to him. He couldn't divorce Luo Yingshu, and he definitely couldn't marry this stupid Zhang Yu.
Liu Xiaocheng looked down at Zhang Yu with a gloomy expression. "Get up. I'll take you to school!"
Zhang Yu bit her lower lip tightly and lowered her head as she stood up.
She seemed to be completely devastated.
This actually saved him a lot of trouble. Liu Xiaocheng sneered and grabbed her wrist, forcefully dragging her in the direction of the school.
