Chapter 254
Zuo Hengyi didn't plan to explain the complicated reasons to her. He shrugged, "I was just hanging out at Shi Li's place and heard there was something interesting going on here, so I came to join in."
Shi's Grandmother's worry was unnecessary, as the first stop before watching the fireworks was dinner.
It wouldn't matter if the adults skipped meals, but there were little ones to consider. They were in their growing years and couldn't miss meals.
Considering the children's tastes, they chose a light and nutritious dinner.
For these children who had rarely eaten well since they were young, such a meal was naturally a rare delicacy.
However, for the adults accompanying them, this tasteless meal was like chewing on wax.
Shi Li thought to herself, [I should have eaten at home earlier]
Zuo Hengyi was in tears, thinking the same thing.
Xiao Feiyu secretly glanced at Shi Li, feeling quite smug. She had the foresight to know the dinner might not taste great and had eaten something at home beforehand.
Xiao Feiyu's brother and sister-in-law had done the same, eating at home.
Not needing to eat, Xiao Feiyu's sister-in-law was busy taking care of the children nearby.
Xiao Feiyu didn't have the habit of playing mother hen to others. She was willing to contribute money and maybe a little effort, but anything more was absolutely out of the question.
While her sister-in-law was busy with the children, Xiao Feiyu was chatting with Zuo Hengyi.
"Did you see that gossip on the forum today?"
Zuo Hengyi chewed while answering her, "Of course I saw it. How could anyone not know about such big news?"
Xiao Feiyu just sighed, not knowing what else to say after that.
But Zuo Hengyi had plenty to say, "Teacher Sun must be over fifty, right? The Class 6 homeroom teacher really isn't picky."
"Yeah, what's he thinking?"
While they were gossiping, Shi Ruan leaned in with her little head.
Hearing about something she didn't know, she couldn't help but ask, "Your school's teacher got involved with the Principal's Wife!"
Shi Ruan didn't take it seriously, as currently the most important thing on her mind was this piece of gossip.
When Shi Ruan was still in school, the Principal wasn't the principal yet, just a vice principal.
He was an old acquaintance of Shi Ruan's, so how could she not be concerned and curious?
She had already forgotten Ji Chunsheng's words as she curiously leaned towards Zuo Hengyi and Xiao Feiyu, asking in a low voice, "Which teacher is it? What's their name? Tell me, do I know them?"
"How did they get together with the Principal's Wife? What were they thinking? Who discovered their affair and how?"
The first two questions were fine, but the last one about how the affair was discovered made everyone uncomfortable, unsure how to answer.
What could they say?
They couldn't tell the truth.
That the affair was discovered by your cousin Shi Li.

They didn't even know how Shi Li knew so much about it.
As for how the Principal and everyone else found out about the affair, that was even more unspeakable.
If they told that story, it would belong on a science documentary.
Zuo Hengyi organized his thoughts twice before saying, "It all started with the adulterer's attraction to the Principal's Wife."
Apparently, the adulterer's fondness for the Principal's Wife wasn't a habit picked up after starting work; it had begun during his school days.
"When he was in graduate school, he used the Principal's Wife to pressure his fellow students for publication opportunities. His classmates had many complaints about him, and somehow after his graduation, this information came to light. The investigation revealed more than expected; he had quite a history."
From high school until now...
Shi Ruan stared blankly, counting on her fingers, thinking what an incredible person he was.
Even Ji Chunsheng, who was attending to Shi Ruan's meal, couldn't help but marvel, "Your alma mater truly harbors hidden talents."
Shi Ruan chuckled, wondering why nothing this interesting happened when she was in school.
