CHAPTER 585: CHAPTER 578: MRS. RONG IS ACTUALLY HER

Zhong Anmei and Mrs. Yang learned of the incident that had just occurred and were incessantly murmuring Buddhist prayers. Zhong Anmei said resentfully, "That Rong Zi Qi is a chip off the old block—crooked, just like his father. His dad is always up to sneaky tricks behind people’s backs, a mind full of nothing but crooked schemes. Even Ah Qing is utterly sick of him."

"Is it the newly transferred Political Commissar Rong Zhen Sheng?" Mrs. Yang asked.

Zhong Anmei nodded, "Exactly him. Our military region just got two new transfers, one is Ah Qing’s Political Commissar Rong Zhen Sheng from the art troupe, and the other is the Chief of Staff Zhao Youwei, but he’s from a different unit. I’ve heard he’s actually quite decent, and both he and his spouse are easy to deal with."

Sisi wholeheartedly agreed, judging from the behavior of the two kids, it was clear that Zhao Dalong was much more likable than that Rong Zi Qi. A psychologically twisted child like Rong Zi Qi could only be the product of innate malice or negative influence from a young age, and now it seemed like the latter played the major part.

Zhong Anmei, seemingly with deep resentment towards Political Commissioner Rong’s family, continued, "And then there’s Rong Zi Qi’s wife, even more loathsome than her husband. Not to mention her pettiness; she also acts like all the men in the world should revolve around her. She looks at men the same way a dog looks at a bone, her eyes just won’t look away. Whenever she speaks with my Ah Qing, she always has that simpering manner. There have been several times I just couldn’t stand it and wanted to lash out, it’s just too disgusting."

Mrs. Yang nodded in agreement, "I’ve met this woman a few times. Indeed, she’s not one of us, too affected and not generous at all."

Mrs. Yang, as if recalling something, continued, "I’ve heard she used to dance for the City Dance Troupe? How did she end up there? She should have been with our military’s art troupe by rights!"

Zhong Anmei’s face showed even more disgust, "I know a bit about that. I’ve heard she was indeed in the military art troupe, but then she made some mistake and was transferred to the local dance troupe."

"What mistake?" Sisi was quite curious as well.

"Bad personal conduct, it seems like she got involved with a married man from the troupe," Zhong Anmei said with contempt, which was also why she looked down on Mrs. Rong.

"Her husband could tolerate that?"

Sisi was even more surprised, as from what she heard, Rong Zhen Sheng didn’t seem like such a magnanimous person.

Zhong Anmei explained, "At that time, she wasn’t married to Rong Zhen Sheng yet! Besides, I heard that if it weren’t for her tarnished reputation, she wouldn’t have ended up with Rong Zhen Sheng."

Sisi looked puzzled, and Mrs. Yang clarified, "Political Commissioner Rong is fifteen or sixteen years older than his wife, not particularly handsome, and he was married before, leaving behind a daughter who is now seventeen and doesn’t get along well with her."

That explains it!

Sisi found herself quite curious about Mrs. Rong, sensing that she was a woman with sky-high aspirations but paper-thin luck.

Yang Wenlong and Shangguan Qing did not come home that evening. Sisi and the others had dinner at Zhong Anmei’s place, and Mrs. Yang was also called over to join them by Sisi and Shangguan. After all, she was alone, and with such hot weather, it was better to enjoy a meal together!

Zhong Anmei had mastered some of the local dishes in G city, especially her winter melon pork rib soup, which was perfectly simmered and delicious. The kids all loved it, each filled a bowl with rice and topped it with the soup, slurping away contentedly. In no time, they finished a bowl each and clamored for another.

Watching the children eat so cheerfully stirred up the appetites of the adults, which had waned due to the heat, and they all ate happily.

However, this pleasant atmosphere was disrupted by an unwelcome visitor.

The unexpected visitor was none other than Mrs. Rong, who had come to seek justice for her son.

Sisi always felt that Mrs. Rong looked vaguely familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before. Moreover, Mrs. Rong recognized Sisi as well. When she saw Sisi coming out, her expression was clearly one of surprise.

"Teacher Zhong, just look at what your Tie Dan did to my Ziqi! Are you trying to beat Ziqi to death?" Mrs. Rong pulled Rong Zi Qi, who was hiding behind her, and pointed at his bruises while screaming.

"What’s the matter? Isn’t your Ziqi alive and well? Why are you, an adult, interfering with children fighting? Lu Yunfei, aren’t you ashamed?" Zhong Anmei retorted without any courtesy.

Lu Yunfei?

Sisi finally remembered who this woman was.

Wasn’t this the petulant Miss Lu Yunfei who always found fault with her when she visited Inner Mongolia when she was thirteen?

Back then, she had two peculiar companions; one was the chubby Han Zhifei, and the other was the brainless Ma Jiajia. Sisi wondered if these two were still Lu Yunfei’s diehard fans.

Choked with anger by Zhong Anmei’s words, Lu Yunfei’s voice grew even sharper, "The children from Teacher Zhong’s family really show great family upbringing, outnumbering and bullying the few. It’s shameful. Who exactly are you relying on?"

Zhong Anmei sneered coldly, "Of course, my family’s upbringing is good. As for your family’s upbringing, where is it? A five or six-year-old child knows how to hurt others with sneaky tricks, nearly cracking open my nephew’s head. The Rong family really has excellent family values!"

Lu Yunfei’s face changed at that. She didn’t know about this part of the story. When she returned home from work and saw the injuries on her son, she became furious and, after learning who was involved, immediately went to seek justice for her son with great indignation.

Perhaps even Rong Zi Qi felt that hurting someone covertly was not something to be proud of, so he didn’t tell Lu Yunfei about it. Therefore, in Lu Yunfei’s mind, justice was on her side. She was determined to publicly shame Zhong Anmei, letting everyone in the compound know what kind of character the Shangguan family’s children had.

But if her own son was the first to injure someone sneakily, then what right did she have to demand justice? Having grown up in the compound, she knew very well that nothing was more despicable than underhanded tactics.

No wonder Ziqi was so reluctant to come with her earlier?

Lu Yunfei regretted her impulsiveness, feeling deep remorse for not understanding the entire situation before making a scene and losing so much face in front of Zhong Anmei!

At this moment, Mrs. Yang came out from the inner room and said lightly, "Alright, the wife of Political Commissioner Rong should hurry and take her child home for dinner. It’s normal for children to fight and cause a fuss; what we adults need to do is guide them towards the right concept. Let’s not meddle in their affairs!"

Mrs. Yang’s words were very tactful, but everyone could understand the implied meaning – that the couple should go home and properly educate their child, instead of leading him astray.

Of course, Lu Yunfei understood too, feeling even more stifled. But the woman in front of her was the Military Commander’s Wife, the most prominent figure in the compound, and her own husband still relied on these people for his livelihood!

Even with considerable grievances, she didn’t dare to show it.

Lu Yunfei forced a smile, uttered an ’excuse me’, and quickly took Rong Zi Qi home. From time to time, her shrill scolding and the child’s crying could be heard.
