Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198: Chapter 198 Contradiction

After Loo Ping had left, Su Man’s eyes brimmed with tears as she pushed open the half-ajar study door with great grievance and burst into uncontrollable sobs upon seeing Wen Siyuan.

"What good would it do if I had heard? Do you really expect me to go find Comrade Xiao Kang to argue on your behalf?"

Wen Siyuan sat with his hands crossed over the desk, frowning at his wife.

"Why not? She’s unreasonable even when she’s in the right—that’s her fault. Why can’t I confront her?" Su Man asked amidst her weeping.

"Didn’t you say it yourself? They are in the right. Besides, from what I just overheard, Comrade Loo didn’t say it was Comrade Xiao Kang spreading rumors outside; it was those kids around our courtyard..."

Before Wen Siyuan could finish, Su Man interrupted him angrily, "Enough! If you don’t want to help me, then just say so, but don’t forget, when people gossip about me, it reflects poorly on you too."

Closing his book, Wen Siyuan asked, "You’re right, but I don’t wish to care about that, considering we’re not in the right. What’s the harm in being talked about by others? Eventually, they’ll tire of it and find it dull, but if you go and argue with Comrade Xiao Kang now, you’ll only give people more reason to talk and make it seem like you’re the one at fault, never reflecting on your actions but audaciously causing trouble for Comrade Xiao Kang. Do you think you could continue to live here peacefully in this courtyard after that?"

Su Man: "I see you just care about saving face!"

Wen Siyuan: "Say whatever you like."

Su Man: "You..." How could she have married such a man? He wouldn’t argue on her behalf, nor comfort her. How was he treating her? Scolding her and now simply ignoring her—completely out of line!

"Do you have to talk to me in such an ambiguous tone?" Su Man glared at Wen Siyuan, saying irritably: "Since you heard everything, what are you planning to do about Wen Yue and her sisters?"

"You and I are husband and wife, and Yueyue and her sisters are naturally your daughters, too. I naturally hope you will guide them sincerely. Besides, if Yueyue and her sisters turn out well, it only benefits your reputation." Wen Siyuan paused for a moment, then continued, "If you’re unsure how to do it, you might learn from Comrade Xiao Kang."

Upon hearing this, Su Man’s just-subdued anger flared up again: "How do you want me to learn? Should I learn from your so-called Comrade Xiao Kang to buy new clothes for her three kids now and then, or should I be like her, stuffing milk candies or various snacks into their pockets or the little bags slung over their shoulders every time her kids go out to play?"

In fact, as Su Man said, Kang Li had taken the time to sew a small crossbody bag for each of her three little ones, cutting out cartoon versions of rabbits, tigers, and ducks from bright colored fabric and meticulously stitching them onto the bags.
