232: Chapter 232 Poor Principal Wei

According to Lin Xiao's description, Principal Wei had indeed nearly choked to death because he was eating too fast.

It was his wife who led to this retaliatory eating.

His wife was a "boy-mom"—the type who, after giving birth, had nothing but her child in her heart and eyes.

Yesterday, he worked overtime and came home late, hungry and tired.

There was no food left for him at home, so he had to rummage through the refrigerator.

He saw that box of unfinished Swiss rolls and couldn't resist eating one.

As a result, his wife discovered him and scolded him for several hours, berating him mercilessly.

In his wife's logic, everything good in the house belonged to the child.

They, as parents, were not worthy!

He had long felt that his wife's state was wrong, but he was too busy with work and neglected communication, causing her behavior to become increasingly extreme.

She could actually make such a big fuss over a Swiss roll.

Seeing his wife like this, he really didn't know how to communicate with her.

He could only sulk silently by himself, so angry that he didn't sleep all night.

On his way to work this morning, he bought a large box of Swiss rolls and began his retaliatory eating.

But he just got angrier the more he ate, and then he choked.

After listening to Lin Xiao's description, Zhang Xiaofu opened his mouth in shock.

He was also the only child of the Zhang family growing up, but his dad was never that doting.

His father almost adhered to the philosophy that "a stick makes a filial son"; whenever he did something mischievous, a slipper would come flying at him.

Therefore, he could never understand what parents who treated their children like idols were thinking.

"Hey? Brother Lin, how do you know all these things?"

Zhang Xiaofu asked suspiciously.

"Of course, I heard it from those teachers just now! Otherwise, would I be hiding under their bed?"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes in annoyance.

He didn't expect this little fool to be suddenly witty, but luckily he had already thought of an excuse.

"Oh."

Zhang Xiaofu nodded silently.

But what the two of them didn't know was that while they were gossiping behind his back, the person in question was standing right at the door.

Principal Wei had already changed his clothes and returned; he happened to hear the two talking and couldn't help but eavesdrop.

He also wanted to know how such a secret matter had leaked out!

Could it be that this Lin Xiao really knew how to do Fortune Telling as rumored?

Listening to Lin Xiao finish telling the whole story, just as he was about to go in, Lin Xiao suddenly spoke again.

"Sigh, Principal Wei is also pitiful. In his heart, he always thought it was because he was too busy with work and neglected his family that his wife became like this, not knowing that his wife is actually a paranoid person by nature!"

"Oh, what do you mean?"

As a qualified sidekick, Zhang Xiaofu asked curiously.

"At that time, his wife gave birth to twin boys, but in order to monopolize her son, she secretly hid one of them, claimed to the outside world that only one survived, and told the son she hid that his biological father had abandoned him."

Lin Xiao leaned against the sofa and continued to narrate.

"That's possible?"

Zhang Xiaofu opened his mouth in surprise.

The little bit of intelligence that had finally come online was fading away again.

Lin Xiao chuckled, "That's not all. When her son started dating, she would secretly threaten the girl to make her leave her son... Oh right, even if her son gets married in the future, she, as the mother-in-law, still wants to sleep between the two of them."

"..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofu almost choked and spat out his tea.

If one could explain the previous behaviors of Principal Wei's wife as doting, then these later ones were definitely psychopathic!

Principal Wei outside the door was also very shocked.

Upon careful recollection, he did indeed remember that when his wife was pregnant and had a checkup, it was found to be twins.

But later, his wife went into premature labor, and he happened to be away on a business trip.

When he rushed back, his wife said one of the children had died.

And the child's body had already been disposed of.

He was afraid his wife would be sad, so he never dared to bring it up again, let alone ask where the child's body was buried.

Now that he thought about it, his wife's attitude at the time was a bit strange.

But he was naturally a bit slow in these matters, so he just attributed everything to his own negligence and his wife's postpartum depression.

He never expected that the truth of the matter would be like this!

In the office, Zhang Xiaofu's gaze toward Lin Xiao became even more worshipful.

"Brother Lin, how do you know all these things?"

"Heh, heavenly secrets must not be revealed!"

Lin Xiao pretended to look unfathomable.

Zhang Xiaofu was just asking casually and hadn't expected Lin Xiao to actually tell him.

After pondering for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "Then do you know why Principal Wei asked us to come over this time?"

"It's for the military training."

Lin Xiao stretched lazily, "After all, the military training was only half done, and Principal Wei intends to make up for the other half."

"Ah? Principal Wei has already found a new venue so quickly?"

Zhang Xiaofu's face turned pale as soon as he heard this.

Song Xi had been busy filming these past few days and hadn't had time to look for him.

This finally allowed him to get a few days of good rest.

If there was more military training, he was afraid he would be done for...

"There probably isn't a new venue; he might just make do in the school."

Lin Xiao said indifferently, "In order for the military training to continue, he will definitely tell us not to dig around or go fishing randomly."

"Oh, I see."

Zhang Xiaofu let out a slow sigh of relief.

Military training in school is fine; as long as he is willing to find a way, there will always be a chance to escape.

But soon, he thought of another thing.

"Wait a minute, Brother Lin, if Principal Wei really wants to warn us like this, doesn't that mean there is something buried under this school playground..."
