The Villain's Mother

Chapter 167 – If a person like him doesn’t become successful, then what kind of person could succeed? (1)

If the other person wasn’t Song Tingshen and she didn’t remember that she wanted to keep her image in front of him, she really wanted to chicly roll her eyes at him as her response.

Ruan Xia solemnly explained, “No. It’s stuff that happened in your past. Why would I mind? It’s purely curiosity. If you don’t want to talk about it, never mind then.”

Even if she and Song Tingshen were a real married couple instead of only being husband and wife in name, she would only be curious about his past relationships. She wouldn’t mind it. It wasn’t that she was unusually open-minded, but how many adults in this age and day didn’t have an ex? Even if they didn’t have an ex, they probably had a crush before. She had a crush on a male god and dated a few times herself.

If she was going to be bothered by it, what was her criteria and cutoff point? Or was she going to be bothered by every woman that appeared in his life?

Spending every day doubting, speculating, and being bothered. That was no way to live her life.

Song Tingshen didn’t seem surprised by her answer. “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but that there’s nothing to say. Her and I, we don’t have the kind of relationship that you’re imagining. From beginning to end, we were only classmates. It was impossible for me to date when I was a student, and I never had any thoughts in that regard either.”

Ruan Xia expressed her understanding. If she had been in a position like Song Tingshen’s, she would probably only think to work hard on studying. Besides, a boy naturally had strong self-esteem. At that time, he had nothing and had to figure out how to earn a living expense every month. Although students didn’t have to spend too much money when they were dating, at the very least, they had to treat the other person to a meal, a drink... For the Song Tingshen at the time, those things would be too extravagant. He might have to miss out on eating a meal in order to pay for a drink. So when he said that it was impossible for him to date, he was saying the truth.

Since he had already said he and Ye Xuan had only been classmates and didn’t have that type of relationship, there was no need for her to keep asking.

Song Tingshen thought she would say more. He was surprised that she turned her attention back to the photos and didn’t ask about Ye Xuan again.

Although she said she was only asking out of curiosity, Song Tingshen was still in a good mood because of her question. She previously wasn’t interested in his past at all. Even if she was only curious and didn’t mind, it still meant that she cared a little bit about him, right?

Teacher Wang and Song Tingshen truly had a good relationship, so Teacher Wang wasn’t overly polite with him. He asked Song Tingshen to carry up the rice and oil from the nearby grocery store. Teacher Wang was old now, and the grocery store only had so many employees. Plus, it was Golden Week National Day, so the store was very busy and didn’t have time to deliver his groceries.

Song Tingshen was tall and strong. It wouldn’t be hard for him to carry up the oil and the two bags of rice to Teacher Wang’s home on the fourth floor.

While Little Wang and the puppy happily played in the dormitory corridor, Ruan Xia stood by the railing and looked at the night view. Teacher Wang stood next to her. He was holding a paper fan and would occasionally fan it at Little Wang to drive away the mosquitoes and heat.

“Tingshen is the most hard-working student I’ve ever met.” There was a smile in Teacher Wang’s voice as he slowly said, “As a teacher, when I saw a student like him, I wanted to help a bit. He’s very successful now. There were some teachers that were surprised when they heard about that, but there’s really nothing to be surprised about. From the first time I saw him, I knew that he was a person of talent. He’s hard-working, smart, and has strong self-control... If a person like him doesn’t become successful, then what kind of person could succeed?”
