Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife Chapter 1576 - 1577: Personal Attacks
Previously on Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife...
A brief discussion about the telecommunications company’s advancement took place between Cheng Su and Ming Xiaofan. Subsequently, they were drawn into the computer lab to interact with their fellow students. What else could a computer prodigy do but join them?
The familiar faces at the school did not ostracize her due to having a child. People remained the same; those who were friendly with her continued their camaraderie, while those who harbored negative opinions still clung to them.
Raising a child presented new challenges, prompting Cheng Su to visit the school office to obtain the curriculum for her junior year. She understood the necessity of efficient time management, aiming to dedicate more moments to Qi Xiaoqi’s development. This approach ensured she would not stray from her initial resolve to be actively involved in her child’s upbringing.
While attending university was, for her, primarily for enjoyment and to secure a diploma, the knowledge gained was, in essence, a reinforcement of her past life’s experiences. As long as she successfully passed her final examinations, the number of classes attended became less critical. The university, too, benefited from exceptional individuals like her, enhancing its reputation.
After all, widespread fame often leads to the mention of one's alma mater...
In the perception of many, pregnancy seemingly rendered women intellectually dull for three years, assuming Cheng Su, after giving birth, was no longer as sharp. However, in reality, she never faltered in her studies and was capable of mentoring junior students and conducting training sessions. Witnessing her, a mother, still diligently pursuing her college education, people couldn't help but express admiration, reverently referring to her as 'Senior Sister Cheng'.
As a source of inspiration for many within the university, Cheng Su did not harbor particular pride. What others deemed extraordinary were merely commonplace occurrences for her.
Life continued its methodical pace, with weight loss, studying, business management, and child-rearing comprising her unchanging routine.
Nonetheless, Cheng Su occasionally overheard disparaging remarks on campus: 'A woman with a child should stay home to raise it; why bother attending school? Is she seeking attention? She looks like a pig, so unsightly!'
The speaker was none other than Wang Ying, a classmate from the same department who had previously attempted to coerce her regarding donation matters.
Since commencing her university journey, Wang Ying had been the sole individual Cheng Su found difficult to get along with. Conversely, Wang Ying harbored a strong aversion towards Cheng Su, particularly because she considered herself the campus belle and resented that Cheng Su, a married woman, was stealing the spotlight.
Cheng Su had long understood that universal approval was unattainable; some individuals would inevitably dislike you and find you repulsive. While she had previously ignored and disdained Wang Ying, witnessing Wang Ying's direct personal attacks now made overlooking them impossible.
What is inherently wrong with having children? She had given birth legally and openly.
What is wrong with being a bit plump? It’s not as though she consumed Wang Ying’s sustenance.
In response, Cheng Su offered a faint smile and addressed Wang Ying: 'I am plump because I have borne my own flesh and blood. But you, do you hear the cries of a baby in the quiet of the night?'
Wang Ying’s complexion drained of all color.
'You...' Her voice quivered. How could she possibly know?
Cheng Su drew nearer and whispered into Wang Ying’s ear, 'The illicit act you engaged in was something I happened to witness during a prenatal check-up.'
Prior to her own childbirth, Cheng Su had observed Wang Ying undergoing an abortion during a hospital appointment. Now, with Wang Ying initiating an attack, was it not justified for her to retaliate?
Wang Ying stood speechless, her entire frame trembling.
Cheng Su departed with composure.
Behind her, students repeatedly inquired about Wang Ying's state, questioning what had transpired and why Cheng Su was involved.
If you do not provoke me, I shall not engage in verbal conflict with you.
From that point forward, whenever Wang Ying encountered Cheng Su, she would avert her gaze, acting as if she had seen a specter, much to Cheng Su's relief.
