Chapter 641

The two women stood in confrontation across the alley, sparks seemingly flashing in their eyes; neither was willing to yield to the other.

Neither backed down.

After a long while, Xiao Han took a deep breath and actually left the No. 26 small building, walking into the courtyard opposite.

Yu Shuheng hadn't expected the other party to come over, nor had she expected her to have such audacity. Holding her coffee, she took a sip with a meaningful look; she was curious to see what medicine Xiao Han was selling in her gourd.

Crossing the threshold, Xiao Han walked around with her hands behind her back, looking around. Seeing the flowers and plants in the courtyard growing pleasantly and very lushly, she immediately gave a sweet smile and asked:

"Teacher, my boyfriend planted two ginkgo trees and they both died, yet here you have a completely different scene. Do you have any secrets for planting?"

The word "Teacher" hinted at Yu Shuheng's seniority.

It was as if she were mocking: A teacher falling in love with her own male student, and snatching him from someone else's hands at that—is that appropriate?

And with the other phrase, "my boyfriend," Xiao Han was implicitly asserting her sovereignty to the other party.

Yu Shuheng smiled and said, "Just put your heart into it."

Both were clever people; how could she not understand the subtext in Xiao Han's words?

But she neutralized it with just four words.

Yu Shuheng seemed to be saying: I put my heart into it, which is why these flowers and plants grow well; as for the two ginkgo trees you planted that died, what does that imply?

It implies that Li Heng didn't put his heart into it, and that Li Heng doesn't care about you that much.

After this exchange, the two women's gazes were intense, staring straight at each other like needles against wheat awns.

After a moment, Xiao Han showed a shallow dimple. "Judging by your attire, Teacher, you seem to be a very fastidious person. Why do you like picking up things others have finished eating?"

Yu Shuheng said unhurriedly, "I avoid sour things. I don't like green apples; I like red apples that are fully ripe. Thank you and Chen Zijin for all these years of companionship and nourishment."

Yu Laoshi pointed out "Chen Zijin," returning the damage directly to Xiao Han in full: If we're talking about the original, Chen Zijin is the one; you, Xiao Han, are also picking up leftovers, also snatching a man from your best friend's hands.

At the same time, this sentence was also the first time Yu Shuheng showed her strong side to his confidante: Thank you for feeding the green apple until it was ripe, but I have decided I want this man.

Just as the two women were tearing off their masks, with swords drawn and bows bent, and the air thick with gunpowder, a voice came from the second-floor attic: "Teacher, your phone..."

This was Li Heng calling from the second-floor attic.

He had just gone up to the second floor and hadn't even finished the cup of water he'd poured when the phone on the coffee table rang, so he came out to remind her.

As a result, before he had even finished speaking, he was stunned!

This...

What the hell is going on?

When did his scheming wife come over? Why is she in this courtyard?

Looking at the stance of the two women, it seems like they are about to start fighting!

Xiao Han was currently in a fit of anger; the two symbolic ginkgo trees had both died, and anyone would find that unbearable. Otherwise, in normal times, she would at most crook her little finger to God, plot a little behind the scenes, and push out a proxy to fight while she hid in the back to reap the benefits.

In her previous life, that was exactly what she did, fully utilizing and magnifying Chen Zijin's weaknesses, thereby letting Chen Zijin, who was also in the capital, firmly restrain Song Yu, leading Song Yu to reject Li Heng's marriage proposal twice due to guilt toward her best friend.

At his shout, Yu Laoshi and Xiao Han in the courtyard simultaneously and subconsciously raised their heads to look at him.

The three of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became eerie and unpredictable.

Ten seconds later, Li Heng gradually came to his senses, turned around to enter the house, and walked downstairs.

The stairs felt very long, and the first-floor living room felt equally long, but the terrified Li Heng eventually finished walking.

Watching him emerge from the doorway, the two women's gazes fell on him again in unison, wanting to see who he would speak to first.

Facing the strange gazes of the two women, Li Heng kept a smiling face and said cheekily, "Teacher, it's Ye Qing on the phone; she has something urgent to talk to you about."

Seeing that he didn't unconditionally favor Xiao Han like last time, and didn't hold Xiao Han's hand and take her away in front of her, Yu Shuheng was somewhat satisfied. She nodded with a smile a moment later, stood up, and went inside the house.

Many things cannot be forced to be achieved in one step; they need to be planned gradually. Since her status in his heart currently couldn't compare to those old-timers like Xiao Han, Chen Zijin, and Song Yu, then she would use time to dismantle it. Since he greeted her first today, she was satisfied to a certain extent.
