Chapter 481: Chapter 481 Changing Faces

Wan Dongcheng smoothly took the child from Li Shiping’s arms, continuing her line of thought, "I never said Xiaoyue had any other intentions, as a brother-in-law, could I really hold a grudge against my wife’s younger brother?"

Li Shiping couldn’t let go of the child—Li Yue wouldn’t possibly leave Li Shiping stranded on the road. As long as the child was in his arms, he didn’t have to worry that Li Yue would drive off without them.

"That’s good, I thought you were angry," Seeing that he didn’t throw a fit, Li Shiping breathed a sigh of relief. Her husband really was changing; in the past, he would never take the initiative to help hold the child.

Although her husband had never said it outright, Li Shiping felt that he also preferred boys and didn’t care much for the daughter she had given birth to.

Just then, Li Yue honked the car horn. Li Shiping hurriedly signaled him to get in the car.

Having been given an out, Wan Dongcheng wasn’t stubborn anymore. Holding the child, he got in the car. Throughout the trip, Li Yue looked reluctant to even glance at Wan Dongcheng and didn’t say a word. When they arrived downstairs of Wan Family’s building, Li Shiping suggested that Li Yue go up to rest for a bit, but he refused.

He didn’t want to see Wan Dongcheng for another second, so he stepped hard on the gas pedal and sped away.

Seeing this, Wan Dongcheng stuffed the child back into Li Shiping’s arms and went ’whoosh’ up the stairs alone. By the time Li Shiping got home, Wan Dongcheng was already sprawled on the bed, snoring loudly.

Li Shiping called him to get up and take a shower, repeating herself two or three times with no response. Eventually, it seemed he got annoyed by her calling, ’whooshed’ up into a sitting position, and yelled at her.

"Call, call, call, are you calling spirits or what?"

Li Shiping was startled, "Dongcheng, what’s wrong with you?"

She was merely asking him to take a shower—it was so hot these days, and her husband was covered in sweat. Was it wrong for her to ask him to bathe?

"What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with me? Don’t you know what’s wrong?" Wan Dongcheng screamed at her as if he were mad, "Li Shiping, from now on, whatever happens in your parents’ home, don’t call me to get involved. I’m not interested in eating that half-cooked meal."

They look down on him, right?

Alright then!

If they looked down on him, he would take his frustration out on Li Shiping. He was eager to see who would run out of patience first.

Li Shiping now understood; her husband was angry about something that had happened in her parents’ home. She tugged at his arm, softly explaining.

"Dongcheng, my dad and Xiaoyue were just a bit upset that you weren’t working before, but now that you’re willing to work, I’ve talked to Mom, and she’s delighted. She even suggested that you go take the teacher qualification exam. And maybe in a year or two, once Xiaoyue’s business has grown, he could mentor you."

"In a year or two?" Wan Dongcheng scoffed, "Why didn’t you say in twenty years?"

"Dongcheng, didn’t you agree to look for a job yesterday?" She couldn’t understand why her husband had changed his attitude so quickly.

"Yes, I did agree to look for a job, but what did you say at the time? You said your mom would arrange a job for me, and now it’s changed to me having to take the exam on my own, right?"

Did they think Wan Dongcheng was a fool?

Having Xiu Min introduce him and taking the exam on his own were two completely different things.

In the former scenario, he could rely on the Li Family’s influence and have it easy, while in the latter, he’d have to suffer under colleagues who were more senior.

"..."

Unable to respond to his question, Li Shiping didn’t think Xiu Min was wrong. Being a teacher wasn’t like other professions; one must pass the exam, and if her husband wasn’t suited for it, he shouldn’t mislead the students.

If he was suited, then he should be able to pass the exam.

But these words were ones she couldn’t speak, for they would only make her husband angrier.

They were both children from the countryside, so why couldn’t her husband be as sunny and confident as Mianmian?
