"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Sharon. I didn't elope with Celia. She just want to give me a
ride because she rode a motorcycle. She is a good girl. There is nothing between us."
He was the one who begged Celia to come back with him. However, he did not expect that the rumors
in the countryside had spread so quickly that her uncle and mother had known about it. It was the first
time he saw her uncle. It seemed that he couldn't leave a good impression on Wendy.
"I haven't settled accounts with you yet. You are a man, but you can even walk with your own feet and
even got on my niece's motorcycle. I tell you what, the motorcycle is mine. Don't you touch it again.
Besides, stay away from my niece. Otherwise, I'll beat you up every time I see you."
Zack was now filled with hostility.
"Zack, Mr. Sharon has saved Celia's life. Last time, those hooligans bullied Celia. If it weren't for him,
we wouldn't even know what to do."
Although the rumors from the villagers were harsh, Sharon was their lifesaver.
"He was the one who saved you? Now I even suspect that he was one of those gangsters who bullied
my nephew. Did you collude with them on purpose?"
Zack didn't believe in her words. He didn't know about the man and he was afraid that her niece would
be in trouble.
"Uncle, he is not a gangster. He is our guest. He is here to help the villagers to get rid of poverty and
lead a better life."
Celia retorted. It seemed that luck was not on Sharon's side today. And she even got him into trouble.
"Celia, you are the one to talk."
He thought his niece had made some progress in these days, but this time she really disappointed him.
"Uncle, I'm not a kid anymore. I know the difference between good and bad."
Sharon was a soldier driving a military vehicle and the village head even invited him here to help
others, so she knew that he was not a bad guy.
"Yes, Mr. Sharon is a good man."
Wendy didn't think she should treat her lifesaver like this. She wasn't highly educated, but she knew
she couldn't burn the bridge.
"Well, who started those rumors. I can go and explain it to them."
Sharon knew clearly how important the reputation of a teenage girl in the countryside was. Although he
really liked Celia, he definitely didn't want to get her into trouble.
"Not only the villagers of D Village know this now, but also the people in our village. How could Celia
continue to live in this neighborhood?"
The villagers were talking about it now, and everyone believes that the rumor was true.
While they were talking, some villagers were pointing at them and whispered from a distance.
"I don't know how this woman seduced Mr. Sharon."
"I think she has it from her mother. Did they said that something is going on with her mother and Andy?
No wonder the Tang family kicked them out."
"Look at that slut. Men are all fond of this type of women nowadays. But Mr. Sharon is also a good-
looking man. He might just trifle with her affection. How can he really like her?"
With a basket in their hands, a troop of women gossip about them while passing by. Their words were
so vicious that any girl could not bear it.
Zack was so angry that his teeth were itching. He clenched his fists and was about to go out to scold
those gossiping women. However, Celia stopped him. If man got involved in women's fight, they would
think that she was bullying them.
"Aunt Mona, what are you talking about? Do you want to come in and have a drink?"
Celia didn't get angry. She just stopped them. Those women didn't hate her and her mother. They
would said that there was something between her mother and Andy, or said that she was a slut. They
talked about it all the time, and it was really annoying.
"No, thanks, I have some work to do in my house."
Seeing it was Celia, the three women were about to run away.
"Work? Why do I feel that you got plenty of time to gossip about other people's lives, such as me and
Mr. Sharon? Are you particularly curious about what had happened between us?"
Celia was not afraid of them at all. Anyway, since there was nothing between she and Sharon. But she
had to take on those gossiping women. Otherwise they would think that she was just a pushover.
"We don't know what you are talking about."
Their faces went pale, and it was not good thing that Celia had found out that they always gossip her
behind her back. Besides, her uncle was there. Her uncle was a murderer, one man had died in his
hands.
"What am I talking about? Did I hear it wrong? Let me remind you. I heard you call me slut. Didn't you
say that? What? You have the courage to do it, but you dare not to admit it?"
Celia was not the same person who could be bullied by anyone. If someone offended her, she must
teach them a lesson.
"Celia, don't be smug. How can you have the nerve to mention it after you did such a shameless thing?
We all feel ashamed for you."
Mona couldn't help but retort.
"Shameless? Do other people also think so?"
Asked Celia Tang, looking at the other women who were walking past firewood room.
"You can't admit what you have done! When Lucy went to the town, she saw you and Mr. Sharon were
eating noodles in a restaurant, and you paid for it."
One of them muttered.
Lucy? It was her? The rumors around were caused by the Tang family, and she would get even with
them in the future. But today, she had to sea with those people would gossip behind her back.
"Did you see me with Mr. Sharon?"
Celia was not that angry after she knew the truth. She thought that they were some stupid woman who
liked gossip.
"No, we didn't. But based on what you did before, it is likely to happen."
One woman said.
"What did I do? Why should I do that?"
Sharon had been in the D Village for a while, but why they all thought that she was trying to seduce
him?
"Mr. Sharon comes from a big city. He's handsome and rich. I've heard that he's a college student. It's
reasonable that you like him."
Mona argued.
