Chapter 44: Why Did You Bring Her Here?
"Cheng Yu didn’t know Si Chen and Tong Yao, she was only looking towards the entrance because everyone else was. Upon catching sight of Tong Yao for the first time, she was initially amazed by her beauty, but soon frowned. She thought to herself, how could this woman wear the same color as the hostess? Doesn’t she have any sense of propriety?
Concerned about her daughter’s feelings, Cheng Yu instinctively looked at her and saw that she was also fixated on the pair. This sight sent a jolt through her heart, and sure enough, she saw Si Jun stepping forward to greet them shortly after, calling out ’Dr. Si’.
Since this male was Si Chen, then it was needless to say who the woman next to him was.
While Cheng Yu was puzzled as to why Tong Yao in person looked so different from the rumored description, it also made sense to her why Si Chen didn’t want to divorce.
What else can you expect from men!
Getting hitched to a stunning bride, being bewitched by her for a while and even neglecting their own careers isn’t anything new.
As a woman who had weathered many a storm in her life, she was quick to hide her emotions. Just as Li Meiyu came up to greet her, she asked again to confirm Tong Yao’s identity.
"The lady in the sapphire blue dress, is she Dr. Si’s wife?"
"Yes, she is." Li Meiyu nodded, adding with a touch of sarcasm, "Madam, you wouldn’t know. Despite her being so young, Dr. Si’s wife holds herself in such high esteem. She looks down upon the rest of the women in the residential quarters, doesn’t even say hello, and carries herself like an Empress. She also doesn’t lift a finger to do any household chores."
It has to be said, Li Meiyu, a cultured teacher, even managed to infuse her culture while speaking ill of others.
