After Loo Ping had left, Su Man's eyes brimmed with tears as she pushed open the half-ajar study door with great grievance and burst into uncontrollable sobs upon seeing Wen Siyuan.
"What good would it do if I had heard? Do you really expect me to go find Comrade Xiao Kang to argue on your behalf?"
Wen Siyuan sat with his hands crossed over the desk, frowning at his wife.
"Why not? She's unreasonable even when she's in the right—that's her fault. Why can't I confront her?" Su Man asked amidst her weeping.
"Didn't you say it yourself? They are in the right. Besides, from what I just overheard, Comrade Loo didn't say it was Comrade Xiao Kang spreading rumors outside; it was those kids around our courtyard..."
Before Wen Siyuan could finish, Su Man interrupted him angrily, "Enough! If you don't want to help me, then just say so, but don't forget, when people gossip about me, it reflects poorly on you too."
