Xu Qing had been taken aback by Su Anya's sudden and passionate outburst, unsure why her husband had managed to anger her. The young woman spoke with an intensity that lit up her eyes, and her teeth bared in disbelief.
"I am sorry, but your husband is such a fool," she spat, her voice carrying a bitter edge.
Rather than take offense, Xu Qing found herself in agreement, her head nodding in an almost imperceptible manner. She had known for some time that her husband was not the brightest bulb, but to hear it from someone else made her realize that this wasn't a personal failing -- it was simply the truth.
"Miss, I forgot to ask your name," Xu Qing said, hoping to close out this strange encounter on a more relaxed note.
Su Anya's extended her hand and said, "Hello, My name is Su Anya."
