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

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: She Doesn’t Abide by Women’s Virtue?

Cheng Su overestimated herself, thinking hard work was commendable, yet forgetting the darker side of human nature.

In her previous life, she could stay away from home for days on end without sleep or food for the sake of a project, a wedding venue decoration, striving for perfection.

Now, merely for convenience, staying at her workplace for two days, leaving early and returning late for work, she was gossiped about as being unfaithful, as being restless.

My God!

How can people’s hearts be so dark!

She forgot that it’s not the twenty-first century, but the conservative 1980s, where a woman who doesn’t come home for no reason and without explanation invites suspicions and idle thoughts.

Having been busy all day, she came back only to hear such unbearable gossip; even with a good temper, she couldn’t tolerate it.

Who would want others to tarnish their reputation, especially concerning a woman’s virtue?

Cheng Su and the gossip-monger quarreled.

"Which eye of yours saw me fraternizing with someone else, your left eye or your right eye, or do you have an extra ’heavenly eye’ on the back of your head?" Cheng Su snapped coldly, "If you don’t know the facts, don’t talk nonsense. What kind of family upbringing did you have? Don’t you worry that your loose tongue might get you into trouble?"

He Xing, wife of Platoon Leader Zhong, turned from green to white.

"I haven’t even been in this compound for more than a month, and yet you seem to know me so well, detailed and intimate. You really are something else; nobody does it better than you!" Cheng Su continued sarcastically before He Xing could reply, "But I advise you to keep some virtue in your words and not spread unfounded rumors that make everyone look bad."

"You, I—who’s talking about you?" He Xing shot back.
