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.
