Chapter 23 - 022: Human Sentiment
Wang Danhong called her daughter, and then quickly apologized to Zhao Guodong, "Guodong, Xiao Mei is just like this, please bear with her, don’t hold it against her. Wait till Auntie gets home to talk to her, today Auntie is apologizing to you first."
Mrs. Zhao, sitting in the front, was also startled. Seeing her grandson standing in the aisle, without asking much, she scolded, "Dongzi, if you don’t behave, wait till we get to the company and see how your dad deals with you. Go back and sit down immediately."
The whole bus fell silent when Mrs. Zhao called out like that, and everyone turned to look at Zhao Guodong. Zhao Guodong didn’t feel embarrassed. Usually, he seemed like a loafer, but he was also filial. After listening to his grandma, he held the seatbacks with both hands and jumped back to his seat.
Twice, Ye Ling didn’t get a chance to move aside, but there were no incidents, so it was relatively safe. Zhao Guodong sat back down, and the matter seemed to be over.
Wang Danhong also got up and quietly explained a few things to Mrs. Zhao. Evidently, she was apologizing, but Ye Ling, sitting in the back, heard Mrs. Zhao continuously criticizing her grandson. She glanced sideways at Zhao Guodong, seeing that he could still act as if nothing had happened. She smiled secretly, thinking that living so carefree wasn’t bad.
As for Song Mei at the back, she felt embarrassed. She was first scared by Zhao Guodong suddenly standing out, and then called out by her mother in front of everyone on the bus. She was so angry that she wanted to find a place to hide. Her eyes were red, and every time she glanced at Ye Ling, she didn’t forget to give a fierce glare.
One must say that Song Mei wasn’t very good-looking, with a long face, an upturned nose, narrow eye slits, small arc of the eyelid, less visible sclera often referred to as long eyes, which made her seem listless.
Lastly, her thin yet large lips made her look sharp at first glance.
And with such a spiteful look, it seemed like you did something to infuriate her.
Ye Ling, having lived anew, naturally didn’t mind Song Mei’s hatred. After all, in her past life, she was often bullied by Song Mei. In this life, she didn’t plan to make peace, or perhaps, if she had the chance, she’d lend a hand in trouble.
