Cheng Su stormed out of the building with a belly full of anger and grievance, nearly bumping into someone. She stopped abruptly, and when she looked up, she saw Chen Shouwang and his wife.
Chen Shouwang was holding a travel bag in one hand and was supporting Hualing’s waist with the other. Upon seeing Cheng Su’s furious expression, he seemed somewhat surprised and a bit awkward, indescribably so.
As for Hualing, her complexion changed at the sight of Cheng Su.
Her gaze was complex, showing an indescribable irritation and a subtle sense of shame.
Indeed, during the days she went back to her parents’ house and waited for so long, she finally got to see Chen Shouwang and also learnt the ’truth’ he brought with him.
It turned out that Chen Shouwang’s distracted ways during that period were all because of a fan she had requested. For her request, he had taken out high-interest loans, which led to debt collectors hounding him, and he was forced to sell blood. Later, he had even borrowed money from Qi Taiguo’s family.
Only then did she realize so much had happened.
While she was angry, she also felt somewhat ashamed. She was completely oblivious and yet blamed him for not caring about her, not realizing it was all because of this.
Chen Shouwang’s admission of his faults prompted her to return home with him, but now, seeing Cheng Su, her mood shifted. The money Chen Shouwang had borrowed later was from Qi Taiguo, which meant it was borrowed from Cheng Su. This implied that Cheng Su knew all about their family’s affairs!
How embarrassing!
Previously, she had been so proud and disdainful, and she feared that Cheng Su must have laughed at her behind her back countless times.
Now, just thinking about this made her feel her face growing hot.
However, upon seeing them, Cheng Su just nodded indifferently, asked if they were back and, not waiting for an answer, she briskly walked away.
Hualing and her husband were a bit stunned.
"Did you see? Cheng Su looked quite upset, as if she was angry. Do you think she had a fight with Commander Qi?" Hualing was the first to recover, thoughts of gossip flooding her face, which had been dull due to Chen Shouwang, now lit up with some excitement.
People are such that they can’t stand others having it better than themselves. Seeing the person they envy fare worse than them brings a sense of satisfaction, and Hualing was just such a person!
