Chapter 123 Counterattack

Luo Tingwei was stunned.

He lowered his voice towards the screen, "Aunt He is knocking on the door. I don't know what it is, I'll go check it out."

Li Yanzhou hummed in agreement and waited for her in the same spot.

Upon opening the door, one sees Aunt He with a pale face. "Young Madam, Madam requests your presence."

Luo Tingwei's heart skipped a beat. "It's so late, is there something you need?"

"Madam has asked you to come over, so there must be something she needs to discuss. You'll find out when you get there." Aunt He's voice didn't sound very polite.

"All right."

Luo Tingwei thought about it and agreed.

She returned to the bedside, sullenly raising her phone. "Aunt Qin called me over; I guess I did something to displease her again."

Li Yanzhou narrowed his eyes and pondered, "She has always been the most gentle and obedient in front of my father. I didn't expect her to have this side to her behind the scenes."

Luo Tingwei gave a wry smile. "Alright, I'm off then. Remember to collect my body."

Seeing her forced smile, the man felt a pang of sympathy for her. "What are you talking about? I'll have Mo Sen come pick you up later. You should go back to the Dark Sea Mansion and wait for me to return."

"Wow, honey, you're so sweet."

Luo Tingwei was so moved that she almost burst into tears.

"Don't just thank me verbally, go back and show your gratitude with actions."

"Yes, ma'am."

She saluted him directly.

After putting down her phone, Luo Tingwei left the bedroom.

Upon hearing the knock, Qin Anya said calmly, "Come in."

So Luo Tingwei pushed open the door and came in.

"Aunt Qin, you were looking for me?"

After Luo Tingwei finished speaking, she noticed that there was another woman standing next to Qin Anya. Her hair was neatly combed, and she was even wearing a cheongsam, looking very old-fashioned and serious.

"Please sit down."

Qin Anya glanced at her and introduced her, "This is Mrs. Zhuang."

Luo Tingwei greeted the other person, "Hello."

Mrs. Zhuang nodded slightly, her expression serious.

Seeing this, Qin Anya continued, "Mrs. Zhuang is a well-known lady from a prominent family in Shanghai. She graduated from St. Mary's College in the United States with a major in home economics. I invited her here today to tell you how to be a qualified wife and a good helpmate."

It turned out that a teacher had been hired to give her lessons.

Luo Tingwei frowned subconsciously, not understanding why Qin Anya had suddenly pulled this stunt.

"Aunt Qin, why all of a sudden..."

"Xiao Luo, did you say anything you shouldn't have this afternoon?"

Qin Anya interrupted her, asking somewhat forcefully.

"What?"

“The moxibustion therapist told me that when you called Xiaoyan this afternoon, you said a lot of things that were inappropriate for your position.”

"for example?"

You know the answer in your heart.

Luo Tingwei tried to recall the events carefully, then looked innocently at the person who had come, "I...I really don't know."

Qin Anya's expression changed instantly, as if she was holding back a lot of anger. "Fine, turn on the surveillance camera and listen for yourself."

The surveillance is on.

"Where the hell have you been?"

"roll……"

"Damn, what a bad man!!"

Qin Anya pressed the pause button, then looked at her as if she had caught evidence of a crime, her voice tinged with smugness.

"What else do you have to say?"

Luo Tingwei was puzzled, not finding anything wrong with those words.

Isn't this what bickering between husband and wife is all about?

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhuang chimed in, "Young mistress, you shouldn't speak to the young master like that. You are his wife and shouldn't offend him like that."

"If word gets out and people in the wives' circle find out, they'll laugh at you and gossip about you."

"Ah...Is that offensive?"

Luo Tingwei froze for a moment, feeling as if she were living in a feudal society.

She had never been to Shanghai before, and only knew that it was a traditional and ancient city that still retained some of the styles of the last century. She never expected that even its culture and customs stopped there.

Black City, located on the border, is modern and open-minded, with gender equality and a relaxed atmosphere.

She suddenly understood why Li Yanzhou didn't want to stay here, but chose to settle down in Black City instead.

However, Luo Tingwei held back, thinking that Mo Sen would be coming to pick her up soon.

“I was wrong… Aunt Qin, Mrs. Zhuang, I confess.”

She forced a smile, but it was a stiff one.

Do you know what you did wrong?

“I shouldn’t have spoken to my husband like that; I should have been more polite.”

Qin Anya's expression softened slightly upon hearing her words. "It's good that you know you were wrong."

"Then, Mrs. Zhuang, I'll leave the next two hours to you. Talk to her carefully about how to regulate her words and actions."

"Yes, madam."

Qin Anya went out.

Only Mrs. Zhuang and Luo Tingwei remained in the room.

Just as Mrs. Zhuang was about to speak, Luo Tingwei interrupted her, "Mrs. Zhuang, I just heard Aunt Qin say that you attended a women's college in the United States, majoring in home economics?"

Mrs. Zhuang was taken aback for a moment, then proudly replied, "Yes."

“What a coincidence, I also studied in the United States before.”

Luo Tingwei smiled. "Do you know what my major is?"

What's your major?

Mrs. Zhuang asked.

"Undergraduate studies focus on applied mathematics, while graduate studies focus on actuarial science."

Mrs. Zhuang's eyes subtly shifted, and her voice betrayed a hint of unease, "I see..."

"I went to an Ivy League school for college, with an SAT score of 1500 and a GMAT score of 725. My undergraduate and graduate GPAs were both 3.9."

"Mrs. Zhuang, you know what I'm trying to say, right? You and I are on different tracks, so there's no need for either of us to teach the other, and neither of us has the right to give pointers."

"you……"

Mrs. Zhuang's gaze toward her gradually became incredulous, her lips twitched, but she couldn't utter a word.

Luo Tingwei continued speaking to herself, "I guess your husband might have specifically gone to the women's college to choose a wife, but Yanzhou and I are different. We can be considered to have fallen in love freely on the university campus, so our way of getting along is naturally different from yours and your husband's. I hope you can understand..."

As Mrs. Zhuang listened, her face gradually turned red, and her expression became very unpleasant.

Seeing her like this, Luo Tingwei weighed the situation carefully and tried to comfort her, "Of course, don't take it too seriously."

"I've kept you here and am telling you all this because I don't want to offend Aunt Qin. She's an elder, and there are some things I can't say directly to her, so I can only tell her through you."

Mrs. Zhuang picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and then rubbed her chest with her hand. "I understand what you mean."

I stayed for about two hours.

Luo Tingwei estimated that it was about time, so she saw Mrs. Zhuang out.

Qin Anya was sitting on the sofa drinking black tea.

Seeing the two men come out with different expressions on their faces, the woman's heart skipped a beat.

"Mrs. Zhuang, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing that her face was a little pale, Qin Anya couldn't help but ask with concern.

"I'm fine, I... It's getting late, so I'll head back now, Madam. Let me talk to you on the phone."

"I'll take my leave now."

Mrs. Zhuang didn't say much and left somewhat absentmindedly.

Qin Anya was puzzled. It was rare to see someone as dignified and composed as Zhuang Tai so distraught.

Looking at Luo Tingwei on the other side, she seemed relaxed and at ease.

Who is actually giving whom the lesson?
