"You know how gossip works. Two words can get stretched into a full-blown drama."
Chi Yun'er was amused. "So, even though that family spread the lie that you were dating their daughter, that same 'female comrade' also got a reputation for being a snob?"
"Yes," Jiang Yihua nodded. "They were suffering in silence, unable to complain—they really shot themselves in the foot. Did they think they could take advantage of me so easily?"
Chi Yun'er pursed her lips, smiling faintly as she walked on.
For a moment, they fell silent.
Seeing they were almost at Bian Family Village, Jiang Yihua spoke up. "Chi, even if your job gets finalized in the next day or two, I suggest you contact your family right away and arrange to be transferred back."
"You came to the countryside with Zishu, but now he's marrying someone else. You have no reason to stay."
