"Xiao Su..."
Loo Ping suddenly spoke, but seemed hesitant. Seeing this, Su Man looked puzzled: "Teacher Loo, if you have something to say, just say it. Don’t be so indecisive."
"Professor Kang’s father took the children home."
As soon as Su Man heard Loo Ping say this, her heart skipped a beat. She immediately turned to look towards the old banyan tree but couldn’t see Captain Kang and the three little buns. Her expression changed several times before she finally gritted her teeth and said to Loo Ping and the other two women, "I have something to deal with at home, so I won’t chat with you much."
With that, she wasted no time and headed towards her own yard gate.
It wasn’t that she was cowardly or afraid of Kang Li; she just didn’t want to make a fool of herself in front of others.
Su Man thought this, but in reality, when she faced Kang Li, she was genuinely afraid deep down, in other words, she was truly intimidated. Of course, the fear of embarrassment was part of it, but the most important thing was that she couldn’t compete with Kang Li.
Just now, the reason for badmouthing was merely for her own amusement!
Entering the yard, Su Man closed the door with a loud bang, leaving Loo Ping and the three women stunned.
The woman standing next to Loo Ping asked the other woman beside her, "Could it be that Xiao Su is truly afraid of Professor Kang?"
Unexpectedly, the woman being asked didn’t reply, instead, she turned her gaze to Loo Ping: "Teacher Loo, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Loo Ping said calmly: "She can’t win in an argument or in a fight; it would be strange if she wasn’t afraid."
"Then why does Xiao Su bother with this? Clearly, she’s afraid of Professor Kang, yet she can’t resist gossiping about the man and his kids in front of us. If Professor Kang really comes to confront us later, we’ll be implicated too, won’t we?"
"Sister He, what are we waiting for? Let’s go home!"
"I’m with you; let’s quickly get home."
The two women standing with Loo Ping exchanged glances and hurriedly bid Loo Ping farewell: "Teacher Loo, you’re busy, we’ll chat another day when we have time." Watching their departing backs, Loo Ping was momentarily dazed. A moment later, as she was about to turn back to her own yard, Kang Li’s figure came into view.
Feeling tense, she tried to make her smile appear natural as she greeted Kang Li: "Xiao Kang, are you looking for me?"
Indeed, Kang Li walked out of the yard and headed directly towards Loo Ping, her expression normal, showing no sign of disturbance.
"Nothing major, I just wanted to have a casual chat with Teacher Loo."
Undoubtedly, Captain Kang returned home and conveyed the conversation between Su Man and Loo Ping, as well as the other two women, to Kang Li. It wasn’t that he wanted to gossip in front of his precious daughter; he was truly upset about his son-in-law and grandchildren being criticized.
If he weren’t a man, he would have personally argued with the women, but reality dictated that he couldn’t confront them, so he could only take his three grandchildren home and tell what he had heard.
Originally, Cai Xiufen wanted to go out and reason it out, but Kang Li stopped her. She didn’t want to burden her dear mother with their family’s matters, especially since things might get physical later. If her mother got hurt, it wouldn’t be good.
Unexpectedly, as she stepped out of the yard, Kang Li only saw Loo Ping standing alone outside the gate, seemingly ready to turn back home. Naturally, she wondered, did they all fear her and know she would come out, hence scattering?
With these questions in mind, Kang Li stopped a couple of steps away from Loo Ping.
"You... you’re a professor at a prestigious university. What can I, an elementary school teacher, talk about with you?!" Loo Ping laughed awkwardly, unable to even make direct eye contact with Kang Li.
With a slight upward curl of her lips, Kang Li smiled: "I know that from yesterday to today, more than one person in our courtyard has been talking about my family’s matters. I think Teacher Loo has heard about it, but that incident is purely fabricated,
it’s a rumor. My children’s father personally went to the school to handle it, and the school had already reached a resolution by yesterday afternoon,
and the students spreading rumors apologized to my children, Hanhan and Vivi, as did the parents spreading rumors apologize to my husband. By telling Teacher Loo this, I don’t mean anything else,
but if anyone chats about it in front of Teacher Loo again, please inform them that spreading rumors and slandering can have legal consequences. If they’re unclear about the truth, they can go to Hanhan and Vivi’s school and ask the school’s leadership for clarification."
