Chapter 217: Our Family’s Tutor is Very Strict
"Hah! So you knew about this all along? I didn’t want to worry you, so I thought I’d wait until you were back from Kyoto to tell you. But now he’s been arrested, serves him right, he won’t be able to disgust people anymore." After all, what’s done is done, one must look forward. Tong Yao didn’t want to be engulfed in a somber mood.
She wouldn’t let a scum like Jia Qing affect her life going forward. Telling Si Chen about what happened was simply to unload the grievances and fears that had been accumulating in her heart. Once spoken out loud, she felt relieved.
There was no need to torment oneself over it.
"Mm." Si Chen nodded slightly, his eyebrows furrowed in thought.
Tong Yao, on the other hand, prattled on, "There’s something else you might not know. I recently found out that Boyi and Lijuan are together. Last time my mom visited, she praised Lijuan both openly and covertly, saying that she had been taking care of her lately. I think she also knows about Lijuan and Boyi being together."
After saying that, Tong Yao blinked her big eyes and looked at Si Chen. It was obvious to her that Zhang Lijuan liked Si Chen. If Si Chen claimed he hadn’t noticed, she wouldn’t believe it. What she wanted to know was his take on the matter.
Though who Si Boyi marries isn’t really her business, the fact that her sister-in-law once had feelings for her husband made things feel awkward. Especially when she still didn’t know the purpose of Zhang Lijuan being with Si Boyi. If they were mutually attracted, then it was fine.
But if Zhang Lijuan was with Si Boyi just to get closer to Si Chen, then that would be troubling. She didn’t want an additional rival appearing at their annual reunion dinners.
