"Of course I will develop the main storyline. I can't go to university entirely because of you, and I'm definitely going to settle this score with you." Tang Wenya was seething with hatred for Xu Qingning. "This is what you owe me, and of course I'm going to get it back."
If she went to university, she could be with Xiao Tingshen forever, and wouldn't need to look for a job or shamelessly attend this dinner party.
It was Xu Qingning's appearance that disrupted her life.
"Your inability to go to university is your retribution, what does it have to do with me?" Xu Qingning picked up her cup and drank water, her tone calm. "Tang Wenya, if you're so capable, explain the whole story in front of so many people and let everyone judge."
She didn't want to bring up the past.
But Tang Wenya wouldn't let it go, bringing it up every time they met, as if it really was her fault.
The female lead and the supporting female character in this book don't get along, but they keep harping on the same thing, which is really boring.
Before Tang Wenya could answer, Fang Meiyuan asked Xu Qingning with a smile, "What are you two sisters whispering about?"
“My sister said that she was disqualified from the exam because of me.” Xu Qingning looked innocent. “I’m really wronged. Manager Fang, please be the judge. I can’t take the blame for something so serious.”
Her voice wasn't loud.
The women, however, heard it clearly.
Jiang Yumei's face darkened first, and she kept giving Tang Wenya meaningful glances. She knew better than anyone what kind of person Xu Qingning was.
She didn't want to bring up her family's affairs and become a laughing stock.
Tang Wenya met Jiang Yumei's gaze and then realized what was happening. She casually picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
She knew that when Xu Qingning made a scene, she would be reckless and show her no mercy whatsoever.
"I don't know the inside story, so I can't judge this." Fang Meiyuan looked at Tang Wenya, then at Jiang Yumei and Xu Jianguo. Thinking about what happened on the day Zhao Jingyu and Xu Qingning got married, she understood everything. "However, the only one who can disqualify someone from taking the exam should be the educated youth office or the work unit. How can an individual have that kind of power?"
"Our leader is truly discerning." Xu Qingning picked up her teacup and clinked it against Fang Meiyuan's. "I'm so glad to have your support."
He then said to Tang Wenya, "Sister, don't mention this matter again. The leader said that no one has such great ability."
Tang Wenya was so angry she couldn't speak.
Looking at Xiao Tingshen, he was only focused on chatting with Gao Yang and didn't pay any attention to her situation. I instantly felt that this male lead was also unreliable.
"What happened?" Du Juan overheard this as well and turned to ask Liu Yuzhen, "Your daughter-in-law was really disqualified from the exam?"
“Yes…” Liu Yuzhen didn’t expect Du Juan to ask about this matter. She glanced at Tang Wenya with displeasure. She really didn’t understand why Tang Wenya had to bring up these unpleasant things in this setting.
Don't forget, she's their daughter-in-law now. She may be shameless, but they certainly are!
"It's a pity the exam is over now. If it were before the exam, we might have been able to make an exception." Du Juan, being a teacher, was quite sensitive to exams. She then asked Liu Yuzhen, "What was the reason for the cancellation? Can we take the exam next year?"
"It's because of the rural assignment." Liu Yuzhen felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, and said vaguely, "If I can take the exam next year, I can take it again next year."
"It's good that I can take the exam next year, but it's a pity that I missed a year." Du Juan still felt regretful and asked, "I've never heard of being disqualified from taking the exam because of going to the countryside. Did you not go to the countryside?"
"I went... because I came back early." Liu Yuzhen wished she could disappear into nowhere. Why did she have to sit here and answer such a question? She felt that Tang Wenya was simply her nemesis.
Even going out for a meal made her feel embarrassed.
"I see." Du Juan glanced at Tang Wenya and Xiao Tingshen, and didn't ask any more questions. Seeing Liu Yuzhen's embarrassment, she quickly comforted her, "It's okay, you can take the exam again next year."
"Yes, that's the only way." Liu Yuzhen forced a smile. She couldn't sit still any longer and stood up, saying, "Excuse me, I have to go out for a bit."
Tang Wenya originally wanted to go to the restroom, but seeing Liu Yuzhen go, she was too embarrassed to follow. She asked herself, why couldn't she stand up to Xu Qingning?
Is it because she has too many concerns?
Or was she simply not as thick-skinned as Xu Qingning?
“Sister, you see, these things aren’t just about what you think they are; the facts are the facts.” Seeing Tang Wenya’s restless state, Xu Qingning said calmly, “Don’t drag me into this again about your disqualification from the exam. Every time you do, I have to explain, which is really troublesome. It doesn’t solve the problem, and more and more people will find out.”
"Qingning, stop talking." Xu Jianguo heard it clearly too. He couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Xu Qingning with a dark face, "You two sisters can talk about this when you get home."
It's the same old stuff anyway.
Does she really have to make a scene so that everyone knows about it?
Gao Dejian and Xiao Yaodong were having a great chat when they heard Xu Jianguo say this. Gao Dejian laughed and said, "Old Xu, that's not right of you. The two sisters are both married now, and they don't see each other as often. Just say whatever you want to say. They're not strangers."
Xu Jianguo chuckled awkwardly.
"Ting Shen, you've been so busy talking to me that you've neglected your wife." Gao Yang leaned forward, peering at Tang Wenya and Xu Qingning with a broad smile. "What interesting things are you two talking about? Let's hear it too."
“We were talking about the exam. My sister was disqualified and she’s really upset.” Xu Qingning looked at Xiao Tingshen and said earnestly, “Brother-in-law, you have to comfort my sister. She studied for more than half a year. It’s a real pity.”
Xiao Tingshen's expression faltered slightly, and he coughed lightly, saying, "What's there to be upset about? Just take the exam again next year."
“Yes, yes, there will be plenty of opportunities,” Gao Yang echoed. He had already heard about Tang Wenya’s disqualification from the exam.
I just didn't expect that Tang Wenya hadn't gotten out of the shadow yet.
Well, how should I put it? It's just a cruel twist of fate!
"Little sister, are you really determined to make things difficult for me today?" Tang Wenya felt that as the female lead, she couldn't let the supporting female lead gain the upper hand anymore, otherwise her luck as the female lead would really be taken away.
"Sister, you brought it up first," Xu Qingning said softly, not angry at all. "It's clearly your own fault for not being able to move on, so why are you blaming me for making things difficult for you?"
"Alright, alright, stop talking." Jiang Yumei's face turned pale with anger. If they continued talking, they would start arguing. How embarrassing!
Tang Wenya wisely shut her mouth. There's plenty of time in the future. Xu Qingning, you just wait!
Du Juan and Fang Meiyuan exchanged a glance. Fang Meiyuan nudged Xu Qingning with her elbow, her eyes full of smiles: "There's a small private room next door. Let's go have tea with Teacher Du and just talk about clothing."
“Okay.” Xu Qingning readily agreed.
Second update.
