Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute

Actually, everyone present, including the woman herself, knows that her husband is quite unreliable, playing around a lot in their circle, and she can't control her own husband at all.

In other words, even if Cheng Xining did have something going on with her husband in private, it was unavoidable unless the woman herself was willing to divorce. But in reality, she would never go for divorce. If she made a fuss here, it wouldn't change anything and would only offend both the He and Ruan families, making life difficult for her with the in-laws.

Right now, her husband might be a womanizer, but in public, he still maintains a superficial relationship with her to keep up appearances, which isn't too bad.

"..."

The woman had nothing to say in response; she knew Luo Jingjing was right, but she couldn't help being angry. Usually, no matter what her husband did, at least he didn't let those women show off in front of her.

Now Cheng Xining was blatantly provoking her.

"Sit down!"

Luo Jingjing patted her shoulder and calmed her down. The other women weren't even paying attention to this; their focus was all on Cheng Xining, fearing that she might approach their own husbands.

After a while, one of the women suddenly said, "Jingjing, Xining seems to be chatting with your husband, and they've even clinked glasses for a drink of red wine."

Upon hearing this, Luo Jingjing looked over with an indifferent expression, her eyes met with her husband's. He felt guilty and quickly distanced himself from Cheng Xining.

"He wouldn't dare," Luo Jingjing looked away and said indifferently.

"Jingjing, we're so envious of you. Just by glancing over there, your husband got so nervous that he kept his distance from Cheng Xining," someone joked.

Luo Jingjing said, "He's working in my family's company now and spending money that my family provides. Of course, he wouldn't dare to mess around."

Luo Jingjing had married beneath her status, somewhat similar to the marriage Li Shiping had at the beginning. The difference was that she met her current husband, Zheng Zhi, at her family's company, where he was originally a regular employee. After marrying her, he then became a manager.

Another point is that Luo Jingjing is not someone easy to bully; usually, Zheng Zhi has to read her mood to get by day-to-day.

The other women at the table exchanged glances, all understanding the situation without saying a word.

After sitting for a while, Luo Jingjing got up and went to the washroom. Coming out from the washroom, Zheng Zhi quickly approached her with concern, "Jingjing, are you alright?"

"I'm fine! Should there be something wrong?" Luo Jingjing asked deliberately.

"It's good that there's nothing. Don't get me wrong," Zheng Zhi explained somewhat guiltily, "I didn't talk about anything with Cheng Xining just now. She wanted to clink glasses, and it would have been rude to refuse, so I just clinked glasses with her."

"I'm not misunderstanding, and you don't need to be so nervous. Dinner is about to start, so let's go eat!" Luo Jingjing said after washing her hands and then she walked away.

Zheng Zhi was stunned for a moment, and by the time he collected himself, Luo Jingjing had already walked into the hall. He took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and was about to leave when he suddenly heard someone call out.

"Manager Zheng."

Zheng Zhi turned around and saw Cheng Xining standing at the door of the women's washroom, not knowing when she had come out, smiling seductively.

Zheng Zhi had a thought, and then he heard Cheng Xining say, "It seems Manager Zheng is very afraid of Jingjing. With your talent and looks, it can't be that you're henpecked, right?"

Zheng Zhi quickly changed from his whipped demeanor in front of Luo Jingjing and said with a sly smile, "When the wife is around, I'm henpecked, but when she's not..."
