Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Whether It’s Genuine Concern or False Kindness, You Know Best

Cheng Su had calmed down and stopped dwelling on it. At the entrance of the restaurant, she posted a recruitment notice for the factory, planning to set up a stall in the village near the factory to attract workers the next day.

In the evening, when she got home, Hualing was washing a basin of clothes. Seeing her, she asked, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"Well, there wasn’t much to do, so I came back early." Cheng Su wasn’t that close with her and had no intention of engaging in conversation.

"Hey, hey, I heard Commander Qi was seriously injured on a mission?" Hualing asked with a gossip-hungry face, though it seemed more like taking pleasure in someone else’s misfortune.

Cheng Su was annoyed and replied with a cold laugh, "What, Old Qi got hurt and you seem quite happy about it?"

Hualing stuttered, her face turning red, "What are you talking about, Cheng Su? I’m just concerned. Why do you have to make it sound so terrible? You really don’t recognize goodwill."

"Whether you’re concerned or just pretending, you know best," Cheng Su said, with a mock smile. "Before you show concern, you might want to rub your eyes to make them look a bit redder, and don’t keep your mouth corners turned up. Let them droop. That’s how a concerned and anxious person looks, got it?"

Hualing’s face turned red with anger, her hands gripping the basin tightly enough to show veins.

"Also, Old Qi isn’t seriously injured. He has his own lucky stars. It was just a spider bite, and he’ll be back tomorrow, alive and well. Who knows, this might turn into another grand military accomplishment. Sorry to disappoint you!" After that, Cheng Su couldn’t be bothered with her anymore. She was already in a bad mood that day and Hualing just happened to cross paths with her fury.

Hualing watched her slam the door, so angry she almost went to argue but remembered past incidents and bitterly resigned herself.

As she scrubbed the clothes in the bathroom, the thought of Taiguo possibly earning another great military honor made her grind her teeth in resentment.

She can do it, she’s so bossy!

Hualing angrily slammed the clothes she was washing, splattering soap suds everywhere.
