My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 236 - 42 Losing Face_2
Chapter 236: Chapter 42 Losing Face_2
Moreover, if Wanwan had left him somewhat uncertain before, now... although he dared not say that Wanwan had fallen in love with him, he was sure that she harbored romantic feelings for him.
It was a budding love, perhaps fragile, but possessing infinite possibilities.
He was carefully protecting it, so how could he allow that tender bud to be harmed?
After gaining clarity, what surged in him was a tide of anger, not only because of Lu Rong’s slander toward Wanwan, but also because they were currently at the main entrance, where people were constantly coming and going. If this wasn’t handled well, Wanwan’s reputation could be ruined!
Thinking about how Wanwan might be looked down upon because of this, Shen Chi felt an urge to devour Lu Rong’s heart with rage.
"A man of significant reputation moved in across from my house, and I saw her coming out of that man’s house," Lu Rong’s lying skills seemed somewhat restrained when facing Shen Chi, perhaps because she believed her "evidence" was conclusive.
"Across from your house?" Shen Chi raised an eyebrow, already grasping the situation. "Your address?"
"I live at West District No. 26," Lu Rong replied subconsciously.
Shen Chi chuckled, "Let me tell you something. I just moved to West District No. 28. If there’s no mistake, the significant man you mentioned should be me."
"May I ask, what is wrong with my wife walking out of her own house?"
"To the extent that you slander her and spread a ’good reputation’ about her?"
Lu Rong froze, "What, what are you saying!?"
The soldiers from the guardhouse, who were eavesdropping openly, and a few passersby, nodded in realization. So, that’s how it was! They wondered how their Capital Military District could harbor a military wife with such poor morals.
It turns out that this woman, with baseless speculation alone, had the audacity to stir up trouble in front of someone’s husband. Her character was clearly problematic.
Shen Chi imperceptibly breathed a sigh of relief; when he returned, he would make a move, and everyone’s focus would surely shift to Lu Rong.
Ignoring Lu Rong, who was still standing there stupefied, Shen Chi left with his son.
After walking a distance, Little Niangao suddenly stopped, let go of Shen Chi’s hand, and ran back. He pushed Lu Rong with all his might and said resentfully, "You are the loose woman, stop slandering my mom!"
Lu Rong, who fell to the ground in pain, came back to her senses and cursed immediately, "You little bastard, how dare you push me!"
Her expression was ferocious, scaring Little Niangao. However, he gathered his courage and retorted, "I’m not a bastard; mom says Little Niangao is her treasure. You are the bad aunty, I heard Aunt Huihui say last time, you’ve stolen many things, and you’ve been expelled from Capital University!"
The child’s soft tone was pleasing, but the words he spoke were shocking.
Little Niangao had a good memory. While he had been playing with Lin Xiaoguai and Zhu Huixi, he had overhead their conversation and could now repeat it fully.
He might not understand many things but knew that stealing was something only bad children would do. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Onlookers frowned confusedly—originally, they only felt this woman was badly raised to call someone else’s child a bastard. Now, it turns out she was also a thief, and not just any thief but one expelled by Capital University!
In an instant, their gaze toward Lu Rong was filled with disdain.
Having her dark secret exposed drove Lu Rong nearly mad; without thinking, she lunged at Little Niangao, "I’ll tear your mouth apart!"
How could Shen Chi stand by as his son was threatened? He scooped up his son into his arms and said to Lu Rong, splayed on the ground in a humiliating position, "Don’t let it happen again!"
Little Niangao was a bit scared and clung to Shen Chi’s neck, burrowing his head and refusing to come out.
The surrounding crowd was in an uproar; this woman had no decency, striking at a child.
Shen Chi, cradling Little Niangao, walked away magnanimously leaving Lu Rong to be pointed and stared at.
"Daddy?" After moving some distance away, Little Niangao tentatively popped his head out, "Did I do something wrong?"
"Hmm?"
"Mom says the child of a rich family should not create trouble, needing to avoid putting themselves at risk." Little Niangao murmured, "But today, knowing I can’t handle a grown-up bad aunty, I still went up to her."
Little Niangao’s actions today might have been wrong or right, but they fully revealed Lu Rong’s true face. Now, Wanwan was truly safe, as most people believed children didn’t lie. So, Shen Chi wasn’t unsupportive of his son’s actions, confident that he would not let his son get hurt.
"It’s good that you know how to correct your mistakes." He was curious about another matter, "Mom said Little Niangao is a child of a rich family?"
"Yes, that’s what mom said." Little Niangao was somewhat shy because mom had also said that a child of a rich family meant someone of honor; wasn’t that very impressive?
Shen Chi’s eyebrows softened with a faint smile—whether Wanwan meant that their son would have a distinguished status in the future or that he held an important place in her heart, neither could sever him. The former showed her trust in him, the latter... valuing his son was also valuing him as a father, wasn’t it?
"By the way, Little Niangao, why didn’t you push her initially, opting to do it when you were leaving?" Shen Chi suddenly thought to ask.
"Because I was thinking about what a loose woman really meant."
"And did you figure it out?"
"No, but I felt it must be something bad, so I pushed her."
"..."
While Shen Chi was pleasantly occupied, the Yu household was in chaos.
"Rongrong, what happened to you?" Seeing his daughter return in such a disheveled state, Yu Bingliang was both shocked and distressed.
"It’s all because of Lin Xiaoguai!" Even though Lin Xiaoguai wasn’t present, Lu Rong blamed everything on her.
"What happened? Explain clearly," Yu Bingliang knew of Lin Xiaoguai, but as merely a lieutenant colonel’s wife, he didn’t consider her significant. (To be continued.
