Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

"Are you really going to just let it go like that? Don't you think it's a pity?" Chiang Xiao asked.

"What's there to pity? If everyone in the competition is like those people, should we just let them bully us? That guy, isn't he the one who bumped into me in the park? What kind of character is that?"

"Yeah. They probably weren't happy with me participating from the start, and now that they've discovered I've made it to the second round, they're even more displeased."

"If they're displeased, they should use real skills to beat you. What's the point in that?"

Liu Guoying was still a bit annoyed, "What were they babbling about over there?"

Chiang Xiao didn't want to translate those people's words to make Liu Guoying even angrier, so she changed the topic, "Teacher, do you want to learn a foreign language?"

"I used to study Russian!" Liu Guoying said angrily.

He wasn't angry with Chiang Xiao, but suddenly mad at himself for not knowing English, unable to help Chiang Xiao or even argue on her behalf.

"Teacher, you're quite amazing. However, it might not be easy to learn a new language at your age now."

"Who said that? I have a great talent for languages," Liu Guoying said defiantly, "I'll start learning tonight!"

Chiang Xiao didn't expect that offhand comment would lead Liu Guoying to really start diligently studying English, and later, when they went abroad again, the old gentleman shocked many with his fluent English.

"Alright then, I'll teach you tonight."

Chiang Xiao said, "But, Teacher, you didn't get my hint earlier. I was trying to tell you to eat your fill before leaving. Why else was I stalling there? I was hinting for you to hurry and eat."

Liu Guoying immediately reached out and patted her on the back.

With a slap sound.

Chiang Xiao yelped in pain.

"Are you still Chiang Xiao? Usually, you just argue with me, and at school, you can even fight with male classmates, but what's happened to you here?"

Liu Guoying was disappointed.

"All just to have a full meal?"

Chiang Xiao's back really hurt, this old guy didn't hold back, it was like an iron palm strike.

"Well, I couldn't just let you go hungry..."

"What if I really went without a meal? Where's your pride? Besides, if they really dare not to cook again, we'd just find the kitchen ourselves! For a meal, you didn't even dare to confront them?"

Liu Guoying raised his hand again as if to hit her, and Chiang Xiao immediately darted forward to avoid it.

Chiang Xiao pouted, "You should have told me earlier!"

If she'd known earlier, she would have flipped the table.

After all, if he didn't eat, she wouldn't let them eat either.

"Did I really need to say it? You weren't this foolish before!"

"Teacher, I was just showing respect to my teacher!"

"You argue with me every day, and at a time like this, you talk about respect?"

The teacher and student continued to argue all the way back.

Meanwhile, the two painters in the restaurant stood up after Chiang Xiao and the others left, and said to Tina, "Miss Tina, we have finished our meal, please continue enjoying yours."

"The two of you didn't eat much, have some more?" Tina was taken aback.

"No need, we don't usually eat much in the evening."

"Owen Teacher, Delian Teacher, let's chat a little more. We still need to discuss the voting matters; we can wait until Mr. Wen Li returns to vote as well."

"Well, let's wait until Mr. Wen Li returns and brings it up, then we'll see."

Owen and Delian said and then left.

Wilson slammed the table, angrily saying, "Why are those two so stubborn? They have a bit of a name as painters, do they really want to compete with that brat?"
