She chuckled awkwardly, "I... I was just asking out of curiosity. Comrade Pei, please don't mind. After all, if the child's background is unclear, it's bound to cause people to overthink things."
Everyone was speechless after hearing that.
The director was so angry that he rolled his eyes.
What's wrong with my men today? They're all acting so impulsively.
Are they all rushing to get scolded?
Everyone fell silent, wondering what Liu Yun meant by those words.
Is she implying that the two children are related to Pei Yuchen?
Even if something is true, that's their own business.
She's so brainless; she actually said it to his face.
Everyone stared at Liu Yun in surprise. He was usually quite clever, so why was he acting so recklessly?
Compared to the various expressions on everyone's faces, Pei Yuchen remained calm. He looked at Liu Yun and said coldly, "I thought I had made myself very clear. Did this comrade not understand?"
Liu Yun smiled wryly, "That's not what I meant."
"Whatever you mean, I hope you'll think before you speak next time. Even after I've made myself clear, you still pretend you don't understand and think the two children's identities are unclear, causing unnecessary trouble for me and my family. Or do you think you know more about this than we do?"
Liu Yun was taken aback by his sudden coldness and panicked. Seeing everyone staring at her, she felt awkward and didn't know what to do. If she couldn't explain herself clearly, people might think she was deliberately causing trouble for them and trying to ruin their marriage.
That would be a serious charge, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "No, I just heard some bad rumors and gossip outside, so I asked a couple of questions out of curiosity."
"Rumors stop with the wise, but clearly this teacher lacks reason." Pei Yuchen didn't mince words. "To draw conclusions based on hearsay without verification—if everyone in the world were like you, how many innocent people would be wronged?"
Liu Yun stammered, unable to speak, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
No one spoke up for her at this point, since Liu Yun's question was simply too offensive.
It's normal for people to get angry; she deserved it.
It was only when the director awkwardly stepped forward and spoke that the awkward situation was brought to an end.
Liu Yun had intended to embarrass Song Yanzhi and his wife, but instead, he lost face himself.
Even Zhang Qiang ignored her with a dark expression.
I feel incredibly frustrated.
Not only did others not speak up for her, but her partner also remained silent, allowing her to be ridiculed by Song Yanzhi's husband.
After everyone left, she kept a long face, ignored Zhang Qiang, and walked away on her own.
In her imagination, Zhang Qiang would definitely drive up and apologize to her.
The scene she had imagined did not occur. After waiting for a long time without hearing any movement, she turned around and found that Zhang Qiang and his car had disappeared.
...
The next morning.
The atmosphere in the office was very tense.
Wang Xia arrived at the office right on time, just like always.
Seeing her messy desk, she was a little angry and questioned, "Teacher Xu, what's going on? You've been slacking off again! You haven't even wiped the desk. What will you do if the director sees this later!"
Her tone was matter-of-fact, as if she weren't among the people cleaning.
Everyone looked at each other.
Someone couldn't help but whisper, "Teacher Wang, weren't you cleaning up too?"
They all saw it yesterday; Wang Xia ran off as soon as she got off work, even faster than they did.
They're even blaming Teacher Xu as if it's their right, it's really unbearable to watch.
When they came today, they noticed that the table hadn't been cleaned.
I don't know if any leaders came to inspect yesterday afternoon. If they did, I'll probably get a scolding today.
What puzzled everyone was that Wang Xia was being lazy, but why didn't Teacher Xu clean this time either?
Upon hearing this, Wang Xia instinctively wanted to deny it, but before she could speak, a teacher rushed over and said, "The leaders are here to inspect, everyone quickly put on your name tags."
