Chapter 1820: Chapter 1820: Airheaded Female Student vs. Glamorous Female Teacher (Part 7)
She said goodbye to that teacher, then glanced in the direction where Gu Shengyin and the others had left, looking thoughtful.
When she got home, Deng Huijun happened to see her mother Zhao Li with a facial mask on.
Seeing her daughter come back, Zhao Li checked the time, saw it was about right, and tore off the mask. "No more classes today?"
Deng Huijun nodded and sat down next to Zhao Li.
"Mom, I saw that Chang Yu today."
Zhao Li, who was massaging her face, raised an eyebrow at that. "Chang Yu? You saw her?"
Deng Huijun nodded.
Since she was little, her mother had always told her about all kinds of unfairness from her maternal family. Deng Huijun had never been to that side of the family and felt nothing at all for those people.
A while ago, her mom had somehow dug up the news that her own sister’s daughter, Chang Yu, was also at University A, and told her to keep an eye out when she had time.
It was just that work had been a bit busy for Deng Huijun lately, so she hadn’t found the chance to make contact.
Now Zhao Li didn’t even care about her face anymore and just pressed her with questions. "How does that Chang Yu look?"
Deng Huijun thought back and said, "I didn’t see too clearly, I only looked from far away a couple of times. She’s very pretty."
Zhao Li let out a cold snort and said in a sour, mocking tone, "People from the Zhao Family have always been strikingly good-looking. My younger sister was a beauty since she was a kid. If the daughter she gave birth to wasn’t good-looking, that would be the strange thing."
She looked at her daughter’s gorgeous features, feeling quite pleased with herself, and said, "But my Huijun is the best-looking. No matter how pretty that Chang Yu is, can she possibly compare to my Huijun?"
This beautiful daughter, outstanding in every way since childhood, had always been Zhao Li’s pride.
Deng Huijun fell silent for a moment.
She didn’t tell her mother that Chang Yu was actually very good-looking and in no way inferior to herself.
If she said it, her mom would probably get mad again, so better not.
At this moment Zhao Li spoke again: "You’ve wrapped up your work, right? Since you’re a teacher at University A, spend some time getting to know that Chang Yu. I really want to see just how outstanding a daughter my dear little sister has managed to raise!"
Deng Huijun nodded. She was also very curious about that so-called legendary cousin.
Checking the time, she asked, "Where’s Dad? Still not back?"
At the mention of her husband, Zhao Li’s face immediately darkened.
She said coldly, "Back for what? I bet he’s long forgotten this home! He’s probably holed up at some vixen’s place out there!"
When Deng Yuanlin was young, he was already a philandering bastard, and now that he was older, he hadn’t reined himself in one bit.
Just among the women Zhao Li knew about, the ones he’d had outside over the years were already into the double digits.
As for the ones she didn’t know about, there was no need to even mention them.
But what could she do?
She’d shouted, she’d cried, she’d made scenes. At first, Deng Yuanlin would still speak nicely to her, apologize, and buy things to coax her.
Later he simply got annoyed and tossed out a cold line before walking off: "What are you making a fuss about? When you got with me back then, didn’t you know I was this kind of man? If you really don’t want to live like this, then let’s get a divorce!"
Those heartless words chilled Zhao Li to the core: Right, when she’d gotten with Deng Yuanlin back then, hadn’t she already known he liked to fool around?
Otherwise, how did she, Zhao Li, squeeze out the original wife and successfully take her place?
If other women couldn’t keep a man, what made Zhao Li think she could?
The more ironic thing was that the woman she’d once looked down on at least had the guts to divorce Deng Yuanlin, while Zhao Li didn’t even dare to get a divorce.
