Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 795: Chapter 795: Whistleblowing

Third Uncle Cheng was drinking tea when he heard Cheng Su’s question, his hand holding the cup paused, and he hesitated a bit.

Cheng Su was sharp-eyed and immediately spotted Third Uncle’s dilemma. She said softly, ”Third Uncle, I am your true niece, and here in Qing City, I am probably the closest person to you. If there is any difficulty or problem, please don’t keep it bottled up inside you. If there’s trouble, just talk about it, and we can solve it together.”

Her words were grave, and Third Uncle Cheng almost laughed, saying, ”You have filial piety, and your Third Uncle knows that. It’s not like you think. I have a good job, I eat well, yes, it’s a bit tiring, but my spirits are high. I get along with my coworkers, and there are no troubles!” His heart warmed at the thought. He had only two sons, but his elder brother’s daughter, though a niece, was treated like his own daughter. And besides, she was the only daughter in their branch of the Cheng family!

Thinking this, Third Uncle Cheng told himself that in the future he also had to educate his two sons to treat their cousin as their own sister and to protect her, to give her support so the Qi family wouldn’t look down upon her.

Cheng Su didn’t know what Third Uncle was thinking. Hearing him say it was not a problem, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, ”Then what is it about?”

”Hasn’t your Elder Sister come back yet? I heard from Jisheng that she’s been home for several days now, right?” Third Uncle Cheng asked in a lowered voice.

Cheng Su was startled. Was it related to Elder Sister?

No, Third Uncle and Elder Sister didn’t have much to do with each other. An encounter would only involve a simple greeting, far from close.

Then, was it related to Jisheng?

Cheng Su was smart. As soon as Third Uncle Cheng asked about Elder Sister not being back, she immediately inferred that Jisheng was acting up in Elder Sister’s absence!

”Third Uncle, what have you heard or seen?” Cheng Su’s complexion darkened a bit.

Third Uncle Cheng hesitated for a while and then said, ”Honestly, I shouldn’t be speaking of this, and you shouldn’t meddle. But I’m worried that Jisheng, being too honest, could be deceived. So, I still need to warn you.”

”What exactly happened?” Cheng Su couldn’t contain her anxiety.

”A while back, we went out to eat at a restaurant. You know, in our renovation team, it’s all men, some of whom don’t have their wives with them,” Third Uncle Cheng said, his old face turning red. Talking about this with his niece was really embarrassing.

Cheng Su suddenly understood and her face also turned red.

”You know how men are...” Third Uncle Cheng stumbled over his words: ”That time, a few coworkers were going to drag that silly boy Jisheng to a dark alleyway.”

Dark alleys, streetwalkers!

Cheng Su stood up abruptly, her face stormy.

Xiaoying and the others looked over. Cheng Su had to suppress her anger and lowered her voice to ask, ”Then, did Jisheng go?”

”He didn’t go that time, probably because he saw I was there. But he was called out two more times, and I think he was somewhat tempted,” said Third Uncle Cheng. ”If there’s nothing urgent at home, it would be better to urge your Elder Sister to come back sooner. I’ve heard that these streetwalkers are all restless. If something happens, it will cause big trouble!”

”Third Uncle, I understand!” Cheng Su said. ”Just pretend you don’t know anything about this and leave it alone. You all work on the same team, so he might think you’re going against him and deliberately snitching to cause him trouble!”

”I know. I see he’s an honest and silly boy, and it wouldn’t be good for him to be led astray like this. After all, he is your brother-in-law!” sighed Third Uncle Cheng.

If it weren’t for the fear of causing a scandal that would reflect badly on Cheng Su and her husband, he really wouldn’t bother to deal with such a mess!
