Chu Xin spoke while looking at Lu Zhaolin, her expression one of utter disdain, indifference, and a carefree, spoiled young lady.
Lu Zhaolin's face froze.
He had been teaching for nearly twenty years and had seen all kinds of students. Even the most irresponsible, family-dependent playboys from the compound had never spoken like Chu Xin, let alone a girl.
This...this is absolutely rude and lacks any sense of propriety!
He tried to keep his composure by pulling at his skin, and a stern demeanor slowly emerged as he looked at Chu Xin.
“You’ve gone too far with your words. I’ve found out that you’re the granddaughter of the Chu family, whom they adopted halfway through their lives, and that you even worked in the countryside in Heilongjiang Province. You might have picked up the locals’ tendency to speak so bluntly, but too much of a good thing can be bad. Take my advice: a woman should act like a woman, or she won’t have a good reputation.”
His cold-faced lecture only made Chu Xin seem more unserious, as if she couldn't see that he was already angry and was just asking for advice, asking in return: "Comrade, don't you think it's presumptuous of you to say that?"
On what grounds do you start making demands of me the moment we meet? Even if you're a great philanthropist who enjoys doing good deeds, why do you have to ask me for them?
Besides, old comrade, you haven't even reached the stage of self-cultivation yet, so don't come here pretending to be a saint.
So what if I come from a rural area in Heilongjiang Province? So what if I speak like this? Is it wrong to be frank and straightforward, unlike someone like you who likes to beat around the bush?
Who does she think she is, lecturing her like that? What an idiot!
This is simply unreasonable!
Lu Zhaolin clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his anger.
He is a highly educated person who usually doesn't get into arguments with people. Even if there is something unpleasant, he will never bring it up in public or make it too ugly. He will resolve it privately to save face.
Today, Chu Xin brought him an unexpected surprise.
He began to regret his rash decision to come. Gu Beizhan's inability to speak clearly meant there was something he didn't know, which was why he had run into a tough obstacle right away.
And this tough nut to crack was a mistake he made by starting with female comrades first, just to be on the safe side.
This woman is completely abnormal.
After being rebuked twice in a row, Lu Zhaolin could no longer maintain his amiable facade. He suppressed the fierceness in his eyes and tried his best to remain composed. "It's my fault for offending the woman so much. I just couldn't bear to see a father and child become enemies. As a father myself, I know his heartache... Who knew... It seems I shouldn't have come."
Chu Xin crossed her arms and looked aloof. This old turtle is quite the green tea bitch, but she didn't fall for it!
He immediately followed up on his words and told them to leave, "Good thing you know, why aren't you leaving?"
Lu Zhaolin: ...
He was certain that today's trip was the worst decision he had ever made.
But with his years of experience, he managed to suppress his anger and didn't lose his temper, though he really couldn't stand it any longer.
"Okay, I'll leave now."
Just then, Zhou Yichen arrived.
"Comrade Lu...?"
He knew Lu Zhaolin; after all, Lu Zhaolin had once been his teacher.
Although he had only taught him for a year, he should have called him "teacher" in principle, but ever since he learned what Lu Jianshe might have done, he just couldn't bring himself to say it.
Lu Zhaolin seemed quite familiar with Zhou Yichen, his gloom from Chu Xin vanished, and his smile widened. "Ah, it's Yichen!"
"Well, it's me."
Zhou Yichen quickly glanced at Chu Xin before looking at Lu Zhaolin, "Is there something you need?"
He maintained his usual personal style by remaining distant and unfriendly, but Lu Zhaolin sensed that something about him was different from before.
Before he could figure out what was different, Chu Xin perked up immediately when Zhou Yichen asked about Lu's purpose for coming. "Hey, let me tell you..."
Lu Zhaolin hurriedly interrupted her, his voice unusually loud because he was in such a hurry.
"It's nothing! I came here on Gu Beizhan's behalf, but after understanding the actual situation, I realized I made a fool of myself because I didn't know some things. I was just about to leave!"
Chu Xin clicked her tongue and took two steps back in disdain. "Just say it, why are you so loud?"
Then, without checking if Lu Zhaolin's expression had changed again, he said to Zhou Yichen, "What he said was vague, but the general idea was right. In short, he just came here to disgust people, so I've already cursed him. Why don't you curse him for me too?"
Zhou Yichen: ...
No wonder Lu Zhaolin looked so unpleasant when he first arrived.
Lu Zhaolin was at a loss for what expression to wear, so he simply gave up and said with a solemn face, "As your teacher, you should know my character, Yichen. The innocent will clear themselves, and I don't want to explain further. Please don't insult your teacher because of a misunderstanding."
This……
Zhou Yichen was somewhat put on a pedestal, and the brief silence made Lu Zhaolin feel much better. Sure enough, that's how it should be.
Chu Xin chuckled lightly, her gaze defiantly meeting Lu Zhaolin's, like a daughter-in-law and mother-in-law who were at odds, both waiting to see whose side the husband, sandwiched between them, would take.
