Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Kang Li is Called a Vixen Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Kang Li is Called a Vixen “Comrade, are you a relative of Professor Luo?”
This voice ca from the household directly opposite hers.
Professor Luo?
She hadn’t expected that her own Luo Yanqing was also a part-ti professor—impressive, indeed a capable returnee and research talent.
Kang Li ntally gave a thumbs up to her other half.
Well, the premise is that barring any unforeseen events, Comrade Luo Yanqing will undoubtedly be her life partner, naturally also her other half.
Her gaze shifted and fell on the woman who had spoken to her; about forty, of dium but slightly lean build, with a sowhat sharp countenance, sporting a bobbed haircut, and dressed in a floral long dress, she was scrutinizing her intently as if appraising the value of so item, with evident judgnt.
After discreetly taking in the woman, Kang Li revealed a detached yet polite smile, “Hello, I am Comrade Luo Yanqing’s spouse.”
She wasn’t deaf. This unnad comrade was simply curious about her relationship with Luo Yanqing, so she might as well satisfy that curiosity!
Better to stave off any wild speculations.
Noticing that residents from directly opposite and both sides had gathered outside at so point, all focusing on her, Kang Li curved her lips into a smile and nodded at each one as a greeting. Then, to the woman who had spoken to her earlier, she said, “I have things to do at ho and won’t linger outside any longer.”
With that, Kang Li turned and walked into her yard, casually closing the door behind her.
Just as she closed the door, aside from one person, the other won who had been standing outside quickly ca together.
“Xiao Su, co over here, the sister-in-law still has questions for you.”
The young married woman, who had been standing still, was beckoned over by the woman who had first spoken to Kang Li.
“What was Professor Luo thinking, finding a vixen to be a stepmother for his child?”
“Look at what you’re saying! Just because the young comrade is pretty, she’s a ‘vixen’ in your eyes. Going by that logic, does it an all the beautiful female comrades in the world are vixens?”
The one who called Kang Li a ‘vixen’ was none other than the woman in the floral dress who had spoken to her earlier—a Mrs. Loo Ping, whose husband, Zhang Sheng, was thirty-eight and had been working as a junior researcher for a considerable period without much advancent, hence he often harbored jealousy towards his younger, more accomplished colleagues.
With such a husband, Loo Ping naturally adopted so of his attitudes, and behind closed doors, she often engaged in spurious gossip.
And indeed, the one calling Kang Li a vixen was none other than Loo Ping, the wife of Researcher Zhang Sheng.
“That’s the thing, I took one look just now and thought Professor Luo’s spouse seed quite nice. As for her good looks, that’s her parents’ doing.”
“What’s going on with the two of you? Professor Luo’s family mber is new here, do you really need to create a conflict with a stranger, and put on an act against , your friend?”
Loo Ping felt dissatisfied inside but tried to disguise it on her face.
“What does being new have to do with anything? We’re all neighbors, and it’s natural to turn to each other for help from ti to ti. Loo Ping, don’t be petty. After all, you’re a high school teacher, and if your students knew that you were intolerant in private, that would really tarnish your image.”
“Alright, alright, stop lecturing . Let’s hear what Xiao Su thinks.”
The one called Xiao Su by Loo Ping wasn’t just anybody—it was the story’s main female character, Su Man.
