Liu Qian was stunned, because she simply couldn't understand Xia Xia's current mood, or how she could say all this in such a calm tone.
Then I couldn't understand why Xie Yuan, that scumbag, would betray Xia Xia, since that woman didn't look nearly as pretty as Xia Xia.
Is it really true, as my friend said, that all men are spineless? No matter how delicious the food at home is, even shit outside tastes better?
"Let's go." Song Xia wouldn't let herself and her daughter avoid the place just because Zuo Shan and Xie Tianci were there. This was the best early childhood education institution in the district, and it was very prestigious. Could Zuo Shan cause trouble here? Even if she did, she wasn't afraid.
As the three approached, Zuo Shan also saw Song Xia. Suddenly, she felt a little scared upon seeing her and pulled Xie Tianci into her arms. When Song Xia didn't react, she suddenly realized what she was afraid of. Song Xia didn't even know she was there.
After figuring it out, Zuo Shan was no longer afraid; on the contrary, she was somewhat excited and looked at Song Xia with a slightly provocative gaze.
Liu Qian was disgusted. Didn't this mistress have any shame? How dare she seduce Xia Xia in front of her? Oh, right, what shame could someone who would be a mistress have?
"Are you here to register your child too?" Zuo Shan smiled and reached out to Lingling. When Lingling stepped back, her smile deepened. "Your child seems a bit introverted."
"Your son seems quite lively," Liu Qian said sarcastically. At that moment, Xie Tianci was standing on tiptoe to grab a balloon from the entrance of the early childhood education center. Unable to reach it, he was shouting loudly, showing no manners whatsoever.
But Zuo Shan looked proud: "My son is capable. It's good that he's bold outside. He'll be successful in the future. His grandparents and father like this about him the most."
Liu Qian was speechless. Was this person doing it on purpose, or did they not understand human language?
Song Xia didn't intend to pay attention, but Zuo Shan continued, "Sometimes I worry that he might cause trouble, but what can I do when my husband is so capable? Even my in-laws say that we shouldn't restrict the child's nature, and that my husband will take care of everything."
After saying that, she asked Song Xia with a hint of pride and sarcasm, "You're so beautiful, your husband must love you very much, right?"
Song Xia could easily tell that she was being provocative. She hadn't intended to pay any attention to her, but since she was so shameless, she might as well give her a mild retort.
"I don't know if he loved me or not, but he was quite humble when he was pursuing me. He would travel all over City A to buy me my favorite cake, and he would kneel down and promise my parents to propose to me. But who can blame him for not being as good as me? I was marrying down."
She wasn't lying, because Xie Yuan had indeed done those things. However, after she truly fell in love with Xie Yuan, she became the one who took the initiative to make sacrifices.
The speaker meant something, and the listener meant something too. Zuo Shan almost bit her gums to pieces because Xie Yuan had never told her any of this, only how Song Xia had compromised and suffered in this relationship.
She couldn't help but wonder if Xie Yuan was deliberately lying to her, and whether he had genuine feelings for Song Xia, because Song Xia didn't seem to be lying, and had no reason to lie to a "stranger" like herself.
"Besides, I don't need his love. Men are all the same, aren't they?" Song Xia shrugged and smiled, advising Zuo Shan with the air of someone who'd been through it all. "You shouldn't always put your husband first. A woman should love herself the most. We're all modern women, you know?"
These words shocked Zuo Shan once again. Didn't Xie Yuan and those two old guys, Zhang Yuefen and Xie Chuancai, say that Song Xia's heart was entirely with Xie Yuan? How come this is different from Song Xia's behavior?
Zuo Shan was restless and only gave Song Xia a perfunctory reply when she left. She picked up her phone to ask for clarification, but reason made her stop the idea.
She hesitated, then suddenly stopped, a thought flashing through her mind. Something was wrong. If Song Xia really didn't care about Xie Yuan, why would she hand over all the power to manage the company to him?
She immediately realized that Song Xia must have been deliberately putting on an act.
After figuring it out, he straightened his back even more and his eyes became more and more smug.
"Tch... I guess she can't let go of her pride as a rich young lady. I wonder if she'll still be this proud when she has nothing left." Zuo Shan was a little impatient.
"You met her today? You even talked?" Because Zhang Yuefen said she had been making soup all afternoon, Xie Yuan went straight back to Zuo Shan's place after get off work.
"Hmm." Zuo Shan was removing her makeup. "She's quite stubborn."
Xie Yuan gripped her hand tightly, his tone serious: "Didn't I tell you not to appear in front of her with Tianci?"
"I didn't do it on purpose," Zuo Shan said, feigning grievance. "It only happened when I went to enroll Tianci in that early education institution you mentioned."
What did you say?
"I didn't say much, just talked briefly about the children." Zuo Shan originally wanted to tell everyone what had happened during the day, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she chose to keep it to herself.
Because she knew Xie Yuan had a strong sense of pride, he would definitely be unhappy to talk about the things he had done to Song Xia, so why should she bother?
Besides, Xie Yuan has a daughter with Song Xia after all. Letting Xie Yuan know that she mocked Song Xia might make him feel a little sorry for her. There's really no need for that. Xie Yuan is doing some things, and she knows it in her heart. Anyway, as long as she shows weakness in front of Xie Yuan, she can get everything Song Xia has now by relying on Tianci.
"Tianci should get a refund from that early childhood education institution if possible."
Hearing his nonchalant tone, Zuo Shan suddenly turned her head: "You yourself said it's the best in this district, why should Tianci give up?"
"We can't let Song Xia discover any clues yet."
“What could she possibly discover? She didn’t notice a thing today. Yuan-ge, you have to think about Tianci’s sake too! Even Mom and Dad don’t want Tianci to waste his talent. He’s your son, how can you settle for second best?”
After her impassioned rebuttal, she said tactfully, "Brother Yuan, we're all from the countryside. We've suffered enough from the hardships of education and know how valuable educational resources are. Now that we have the means, why should we let Tianci take a detour? I know you're afraid Song Xia will find out something, but usually only I take Tianci there, so she won't notice."
Thinking of his son, Xie Yuan couldn't bring himself to make the decision: "Then you must be careful in the future, and avoid having any contact with Song Xia if you can avoid communicating with her."
Zuo Shan nestled in his arms: "When have I ever disobeyed you? Back then, you were the one who told me to stay calm and get pregnant before marriage to give birth to Tianci, and I didn't say anything, did I?"
Speaking of this, Xie Yuan did feel guilty towards Zuo Shan. He knew what this meant back in their hometown, so he couldn't let Zuo Shan down and would definitely give her the best in the future.
