Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 331

“Mr. Xu, right? Please, have a seat. I know you’re here for a home visit. Feel free to say whatever you want. I will fully cooperate with you, okay?”

Sheng Fei invited Xu Mingda to sit down, and the two began discussing some issues regarding the children.

Sheng Fei listened attentively as Xu Mingda spoke and nodded in agreement, acknowledging that the teacher’s points were quite reasonable.

Xu Mingda recognized that Sheng Fei was young yet managed to support five children, which was no easy feat. Moreover, Xu Mingda appreciated her role as a stepmother and agreed with some of her educational approachs.

After discussing the children’s matters, just as Xu Mingda was about to leave, Sheng Fei suggested he stay for dinner before heading back.

Xu Mingda usually cooked for himself at home. After Sheng Fei’s warm invitation, he agreed to stay.

So they all sat down together to prepare to eat.

When Lu Ting returned, he noticed Xu Mingda was there.

After Lu Da introduced him, Lu Ting realized this was Xu Mingda.

Seeing Xu Mingda talking to Sheng Fei at the dinner table made Lu Ting feel uncomfortable for some reason.

He didn’t want Xu Mingda to converse with Sheng Fei or for her to entertain him like this, but he kept his thoughts to himself and stared intently at Xu Mingda.

He watched Xu Mingda finish eating and then take his leave.

Sheng Fei saw him off, but before she could say anything, she noticed Lu Ting’s expression had soured, as if he were displeased.

What’s wrong with Lu Ting? Why did he suddenly change like this?

She scratched her head but chose to ignore Lu Ting’s mood.

Lu Ting had always been a bit eccentric. He could be very pleasant if he said it’s good, but once he got stubborn, no one could change his mind. So, Sheng Fei remained silent and let him be.

Sheng Fei then went to brush her teeth, wash her face, and do her chores.

Ever since Xu Mingda’s visit, Lu Ting had become even more strange, maintaining a stern look throughout the day.

Sheng Fei thought perhaps he was dealing with some work-related issues and didn’t pry into his feelings.

Today, when Sheng Fei got home, she found Lu Ting waiting for her in the yard.

Lu Ting’s eyes appeared slightly red, as if he hadn’t slept well. Sheng Fei set down her bag and curiously asked Lu Ting.

“What’s wrong? You seem a bit off lately. Did someone upset you? Your eyes are all red. Did you not sleep well last night?”

“It’s nothing.”

After Lu Ting’s brief reply, Sheng Fei decided not to press him further.

Sheng Fei was really unaware of what had been bothering Lu Ting lately. He seemed listless no matter what he did.

Moreover, it was especially clear today that something was off with his mood, almost as if he held a grudge against someone, wearing a deeply troubled expression.

After greeting the children, Sheng Fei returned to her room.

When she came out, she saw Lu Ting still standing there, so Sheng Fei felt compelled to ask him about it in a friendly manner. To her surprise, Lu Ting said he needed to talk to her and pulled Sheng Fei into his room.

“What’s going on? Are you too tired from work, or what? You seem different right now. If you need my help with anything, just say so.”
