Chapter 386: Chapter 386 Are You Saying I’m Humiliating Myself?

Shen Yun retracted the smile from her face and said indifferently, ”I returned to the country after my divorce.”

Kang Li put on a surprised expression, ”Big Sister Shen, why did you get a divorce? Was it because your husband didn’t treat you well?”

”Comrade Kang, can you stop calling me Big Sister Shen? Abroad, referring to a young girl like that is very impolite.” Shen Yun felt both a headache and a deep irritation upon hearing the words ”Big Sister Shen” from Kang Li’s mouth.

Kang Li’s eyes widened like a fox’s, ”Comrade Shen, we are both married women, aren’t we? Hardly young girls anymore, right?! Besides, here we are in China, and you are several years older than me. When I call you Big Sister Shen, it signifies...”

Before Kang Li could finish, Shen Yun frowned and interrupted directly, ”Is Comrade Kang doing this on purpose?”

Kang Li looked confused, ”I don’t understand what you mean, Comrade Shen.”

Shen Yun said, ”Comrade Kang, why pretend to be confused when you know exactly what’s going on? I simply came to chat with you, but instead, you mock and ridicule me. Is this how Comrade Kang treats her guests?”

”Pretend to be confused? Comrade Shen, you really are being quite baffling. Why would I pretend to be confused in front of you? Also, which of my words has mocked or ridiculed you?”

Kang Li saw that the other party maintained a solemn face and naturally retracted her smile, speaking calmly, ”Actually, isn’t it you, Comrade Shen, who’s pretending to be confused? I saw very clearly the way you looked at my husband that day. You like my husband, but it’s obviously unrequited love. As for that, I have nothing to say,

since who you like is your right, and others have no right to interfere. But if you’re thinking of harbouring any ill intentions towards me, I advise you to cease and desist sooner rather than later, lest you lose your hard-earned status as a returnee from overseas!”

Standing up abruptly, Shen Yun’s face changed repeatedly, feeling incredibly embarrassed at that moment, ”You...”

Kang Li wasn’t used to being looked down upon; she also stood up, met the other’s gaze, and curved her lips into a smile, ”What about me? Comrade Shen, you need to understand that today you came to me of your own accord, spouting all sorts of nonsense, hoping to use your returnee status to trample on me, but it wasn’t I who provoked you first! Moreover, my principle has always been: respect those who respect me, and return to others the treatment they give me!”

Shen Yun said, ”Are you saying that I’m humiliating myself?”

Kang Li didn’t respond, took the book in her hand, and walked towards the living room, ”Please don’t let the door hit you on your way out.” She’s quite self-aware, so why come and make a fool of herself?

Watching Kang Li’s slender swaying figure, Shen Yun stood still and did not leave immediately, her lips pressed tightly together, her expression tense, her eyes revealing an unmistakable irritation and embarrassment.

Driven out?

Was she being driven out of someone else’s home?

For the first time in her life, as proud as she was, she had encountered someone so rude to her?

Her hands hanging by her sides slowly clenched into fists, Shen Yun turned around, a glint of dark light flashing through her eyes, and finally went back to her own place.

The next day.

The research institute’s cafeteria.

”Professor Luo, may I sit here?”

Shen Yun, having gotten her meal, walked straight to the table where Luo Yanqing was sitting. She glanced at the two male comrades sharing the table with Luo Yanqing but didn’t bother to ask for their opinions, and directly made her way to Luo Yanqing’s side. She broke into what she thought was her most beautiful smile and asked this man she had secretly admired for years if he would allow her to share the table with him.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yanqing continued eating his lunch as usual, without even a glance in her direction.

And Shen Yun had thick enough skin, as she had already taken a seat at an empty chair of her own accord, yet still pretended to be modest and asked Luo Yanqing that question.
