TFWYH – Chapter 228 She’s really a fat woman

“Exactly!” Tang Wan cut her off, speaking coldly. “The Wei family doesn’t owe me anything. I never said they did, and I never went to your home to demand favors. You two came running over, taking turns playing good cop and bad cop nonstop. Is that the kind of upbringing you were taught?”

Wei Ziyan’s face stiffened; her complexion alternated between blue and white—quite a sight.

Pan Xiner froze as well, then exploded with anger after recovering. “What’s wrong with you? Do you even know who we are?”

“I don’t care who you are. I don’t know you, I’m not familiar with you, and I have no interest in talking to you. Understand?” Tang Wan finished and ignored her completely, continuing to watch the students coming out.

Why hadn’t her beautiful husband come out yet? Was he being held up by some little fox spirit?

“You—!”

“Xiner, stop.”

Wei Ziyan gave a bitter smile and grabbed Pan Xiner’s arm, then turned to Tang Wan with a sad expression. “Wan-niang, you saved my brother. I truly saw you as a friend, but I didn’t expect you to misunderstand me like this.”

Tang Wan: Husband, husband, how much longer? Your darling is already stuffed from drinking tea…

Wei Ziyan lowered her eyes in sorrow. “Wan-niang, if I’ve done anything wrong, you must tell me. I really don’t want to lose you as a friend, I truly—”

Tang Wan’s eyes suddenly lit up as she dashed toward the opposite side.

From inside the academy, a breathtakingly handsome young man was being surrounded by students as they walked out together.

At first glance, he saw the little sweetheart running toward him.

A joyful curve appeared on his lips. He cupped his hands toward the other students, said something to them, then walked toward her.

Little Ling Chen also saw Tang Wan and rushed over before his elder brother. “Sister-in-law! Did you come to pick me up?”

“Mhm.” Tang Wan rubbed his head, then looked at her husband. “To pick up both of you!”

“But big brother still has things to do. Let’s go home first!” Ling Chen said, reaching for Tang Wan’s hand.

Before he could touch it, Ling Yu lifted him up and tossed him aside.

Ling Chen: …

Tang Wan: “…You have something to do?”

“Mhm!” Ling Yu smiled. “The prefectural exam is coming, and there’s a temple fair tonight. My classmates want to go to the temple to pray and invited me.”

Oh, so that’s how it is.

Tang Wan pouted a little—then I’ll just go home first.

Just as she thought that, Ling Yu said, “I’ll send you home first, then go.”

“Mhm!” Tang Wan’s mood instantly brightened, the corners of her mouth rising without her realizing.

Her temperament was cool and elegant, her face bare of makeup, her skin fair. With the slightest smile, she was like the gentle spring breeze that melts late winter snow—soft and warm.

A beauty that outshone blooming peach blossoms.

Ling Yu was momentarily dazed.

The students at the gate were also stunned.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman—truly pleasing to the eye.

“Who is she? So beautiful!”

“I heard Ling Yu got married. This woman’s hair is in a married woman’s bun… she must be his wife?”

“Huh? No way! I heard he married the daughter of that butcher. I remember that woman—she was really fat! But this lady has such a graceful figure. No way she’s that fat woman.”

“I’m not sure either. Brother Su, do you know?”

Su Yangyu snapped back to reality and said impatiently, “She is Ling Yu’s wife—the butcher’s daughter. She slimmed down long ago. Don’t talk like that. It’s rude!”

The students’ eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at Tang Wan like they were seeing a ghost.

Damn—it really was her!

They had all seen the old Tang Wan before. She used to linger at the academy gates all the time, staring at Ling Yu like a starving wolf eyeing meat—her eyes practically glowing.

Back then, they often teased Ling Yu about it, and secretly mocked Tang Wan as a fat woman dreaming of eating swan meat.
