Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Although the truth had been fully revealed, the Lu Family and Guan Cheng still suffered some impact, especially Guan Cheng. Even though everyone was clear that he had not behaved indecently towards Wang Lingzhi, the rumor spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred, completely distorting the facts. Those unaware of the details believed Guan Cheng and Wang Lingzhi were having an affair. Otherwise, why would Wang Lingzhi have jeopardized her reputation to make such an accusation?

Feng Qingxue had been worried about this from the start and wanted to discuss it with Guan Cheng, to take precautions against Wang Lingzhi taking desperate measures.

Back in the military, wasn’t that the very tactic Wang Baozhu had wanted to use to harm someone?

Now, she deeply regretted not visiting the elderly’s residence to find Guan Cheng on the evening she was warned by her sister, leading to their unpreparedness for the events of the next day.

Guan Cheng consoled her, "Auntie, don’t blame yourself. Things happened too quickly, and none of us could have anticipated it. Back at the garlic drying spot, I had already considered this. When Wang Lingzhi came to me uninvited, I thought about telling her to respect herself and not be so flirtatious, lest she bring gossip onto me. But then I thought, wouldn’t saying that be like alerting her? Giving her the opportunity to use it to her advantage to force me into marriage."

Little did he know that while he remained silent, someone else had given Wang Lingzhi a reminder.

Wu Lijuan, Guan Cheng ground out these three words through clenched teeth.

"Wu Lijuan is your and Wang Lingzhi’s classmate. You must have interacted with her. What kind of person is she?" Although Feng Qingxue didn’t believe Wang Lingzhi’s behavior of blaming Wu Lijuan, she thought that there must be some truth to her words.
