Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 377

Chapter 377: Chapter 377 Nursery Rhymes Inspire Philosophy

Chiang Qing was startled by Cheng Su’s sudden harshness, feeling a slight panic in her heart, but when she looked again, that severity had disappeared, as if it had been merely an illusion.

Despite that, Chiang Qing was still somewhat shocked. How could a village girl from the countryside possess such an imposing aura?

"However, speaking of misunderstandings, there actually is one." Cheng Su suddenly continued, "I heard from Old Qi that Miss Chiang knew about Old Qi’s birthday and even went out of her way to bring a gift?"

Chiang Qing’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly composed herself and said, "Well, I did it out of gratitude for all the support Commander Qi gave us when our medical team was deployed to the countryside. It was also a gesture on behalf of our medical team."

"Doctor Chiang, you’re taking it too seriously. We are all colleagues, and it’s only right to lend a hand to one another; there’s no need for such gratitude. As long as the sentiment is received, that’s all that matters. But Doctor Chiang, you went so far as to send an expensive gift, which can’t help but make people think more about it." Cheng Su’s lips curled slightly, it was unclear whether in a cold smile or sarcasm.

"Let’s not mention that Doctor Chiang, an unmarried woman, is giving an expensive gift to a married man in private. Just that alone is problematic. What would people think if they found out? Might they say that Doctor Chiang has ulterior motives, not just the wine?" Cheng Su glanced at her coldly and continued, "Originally, the help Old Qi provided was part of his duty. If he accepted such a gift, I’m afraid the leaders above might think he’s arrogant and unclean for wanting a payoff for a minor deed. Isn’t that akin to taking a bribe? For a soldier, focusing on integrity is definitely important, not to mention one’s personal reputation. So, Doctor Chiang, don’t make this mistake again next time. Otherwise, if Old Qi ends up with a bad influence because of this, it won’t be easy to handle. Surely Doctor Chiang wouldn’t want to see Old Qi’s future hindered, right?"
