Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 180 Lu Tingting Confesses Her Love

After dinner, Jiang Moli borrowed a meeting room from the guesthouse and gathered the performance team to rehearse for tomorrow's show.

To generate more hatred, she even added a scene where she was publicly humiliated in the street.

The rehearsal ended at 9 p.m., and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Lu Tingting called out to Shen Yanzhi: "Teacher Shen, may I take up a little of your time? I have something to tell you."

Shen Yanzhi replied, "Please speak, Professor Lu."

Under the warm yellow light, Shen Yanzhi's deep-set eyes and slender figure made him appear even more handsome and dashing than during the day.

Seeing this, Lu Tingting's heart pounded like a rabbit's: "Teacher Shen, I... I like you!"

Shen Yanzhi was somewhat surprised, but quickly regained his composure:
"Teacher Lu, thank you for your kindness, but I'm sorry, I'm not considering personal matters at the moment."

Although she was prepared to be rejected, Lu Tingting still couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness when she was actually rejected.

"Do you have someone you like? Is it Xu Shu?"

In the hallway outside the door, Xu Shu nervously pricked up her ears.

In order to catch up with Shen Yanzhi, Xu Siyuan specially changed his accommodation to the municipal guesthouse.

After settling in, Xu Siyuan found Shen Yanzhi's room and learned from Tangyuan that Shen Yanzhi was rehearsing a program in the conference room.

On the way here, Xu Siyuan ran into an acquaintance, so Xu Shu came up alone to find Shen Yanzhi.

As soon as I arrived outside the meeting room, I heard Lu Tingting's confession coming from inside.

Hearing Lu Tingting mention her, her heart began to pound.

She has liked Shen Yanzhi since she was a child.

As Shen Yanzhi went abroad to study, they were separated for several years. However, this affection did not diminish at all; instead, it turned into a deep and intense unrequited love.

"I do like Shushu, but it's the kind of affection a brother has for his sister. I watched Shushu grow up, and in my heart, she is undoubtedly my own sister."

Shen Yanzhi's answer clearly satisfied Lu Tingting.

Xu Shu, standing outside the door, was heartbroken.

Seeing Xu Shu's hurried departure reflected in the glass, Lu Tingting's eyes revealed a triumphant and cunning look.

She had already seen Xu Shu outside.

……

Jiang Moli and Lu Tingting slept in the same room.

Seeing Lu Tingting humming a tune as she entered, Jiang Moli asked with interest, "Oh, you've managed to win over your teacher Shen?"

No, he rejected me!

"Then what are you grinning about?"

"He doesn't like Xu Shu either!"

Jiang Moli understood: "So your main point is that if you can't have it, no one else can either, right?"

Lu Tingting rolled her eyes at her and snorted, "She made me feel depressed all day, so I have to let her taste the same feeling of depression. That's called reciprocity!"

Jiang Moli found it amusing, "So you're not upset now?"

"It's none of your business whether I'm depressed or not."

"Yeah, you don't call me Mom, so I can't be bothered with you."

Lu Tingting glared at her, grabbed her change of clothes, and stormed into the bathroom.

The municipal guesthouse is quite upscale, with each room having a private bathroom and hot water shower.

Shen Yanzhi had just finished washing up when Xu Siyuan came looking for her.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two went together to Xu Siyuan's room to catch up.

Shen Yanzhi was sharing a room with Tangyuan, and it was always inconvenient to talk when there were outsiders around.

Hearing the door open, Xu Shu hurriedly wiped away her tears, but her red eyes still betrayed her distress.

"Shushu, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just got some sand in my eyes."

Seeing Shen Yanzhi enter with Xu Siyuan, Xu Shu almost burst into tears again.

"I'm going outside to clear my head. You two can talk."

He left those words behind and hurriedly rushed out the door.

"Then be careful, don't go too far."

Watching his younger sister's hurried figure, Xu Siyuan shook his head helplessly at Shen Yanzhi, "That girl, I don't know what's gotten into her again."

Shen Yanzhi smiled, "Girls are inevitably more sensitive and fragile." Xu Siyuan didn't say anything more about his younger sister, instead adopting a happy expression:

"So, I've come to bring you some good news. Your family's troubles will soon be over, in three to five months at most."

Seeing that Shen Yanzhi wasn't surprised, Xu Siyuan thought he didn't believe him and quickly said:

"I'm not trying to comfort you; my information comes from reliable sources!"

Shen Yanzhi adjusted his glasses and smiled, "I believe it, and I knew this day would come sooner or later."

Xu Siyuan then said, "I will continue to keep an eye on the situation from above and will notify you as soon as there is any news."

"Thank you, but you should also be careful not to give anyone a reason to criticize you."

"Don't worry, I know it."

……

Jiang Dahai took half a day off to bring gifts back to his hometown to visit Zhang Tiesheng.

When they arrived, the Zhang family's door was locked.

He found Zhang Tiesheng in the field where he was working, "Tiesheng!"

Zhang Tiesheng turned around and saw Jiang Dahai. He stared blankly for a moment before putting down his work and slowly walking over.

"Ocean, what brings you here?"

"The factory isn't busy today, so I came to see you."

Looking at Zhang Tiesheng's droopy left eyelid, Jiang Dahai felt a pang of sadness. "You've only been discharged from the hospital a few days ago, why don't you get some rest?"

Zhang Tiesheng turned his head away, not wanting Jiang Dahai to see his injured left eye.

“I’m fine. I’m just idling at home anyway. I can earn two work points by working in the fields.”

Jiang Dahai knew he was right, so he didn't say anything more: "Tiesheng, I have good news for you. Xiaoqing is pregnant. You're going to be a grandfather. Congratulations!"

Jiang Dahai left after a short time.

Zhang Tiesheng shouldered his hoe and carried the gifts Jiang Dahai had brought him home.

When Jin Yulan finished work and returned home, she told her about Jiang Qing's pregnancy.

How many months pregnant are you?

"I don't know, the sea didn't say."

"Then why didn't you ask clearly?"

"What's there to ask? Xiao Qing has only been there for two months, maybe a little over a month."

Jin Yulan coldly snorted, "Who knows about her? That restless thing, we don't even know if she's carrying Jiaming's child!"

Zhang Tiesheng was also annoyed, "What nonsense are you talking about? If it's not Jiaming's, whose is it? You're supposed to be a mother, so you can't stand to see your son doing well, can you?"

Jin Yulan stiffened her neck and remained silent.

It wasn't that she couldn't stand seeing her son do well; she hated Jiang Qing to the core.

That damned jinx, who made her man one-eyed, couldn't quell the anger and hatred in her heart, even with the most vicious curses in the world.

……

The two-day performance went smoothly, and Jiang Moli earned over 500 dislike points.

The Education Bureau was quite generous; they gave each person who participated in the performance an enamel mug and 100 jin of grain coupons.

Jiang Moli exchanged her grain coupons for rice at the grain and oil station, and each person received several kilograms.

When they returned, everyone was all smiles.

……

In the morning, during the first period, the first-grade class was in complete chaos.

Feng Meihua put down her work and went to the first-grade classroom, only to find that there was no one on the podium.

She glanced at the timetable; this class was Jiang Qing's.

Feng Meihua asked the students, "Where did Teacher Jiang go?"

The students responded in a cacophony of voices:

"Teacher Jiang didn't come to class!"

"Teacher Jiang must have fallen into the latrine while using the toilet."

"Ha ha!"

Feng Meihua patted the lectern to signal the students to be quiet, assigned them classroom tasks, and then went to Jiang Qing's dormitory.
