Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 376: Chapter 376: An Unpredictable Master

Chiang Qing came from a family of officials, and not to mention her living conditions, the circle around her was one of either fortune or high status. She had seen many people around her, and was certainly not naive or simple-minded. Was Cheng Su suddenly striking up a conversation and indirectly asking about her private life because she cared about her?

Yeah, right, they were hardly acquainted.

Thus, there could only be one reason: it was about a man, and the same man at that.

Could it be that Taiguo had mentioned something to Cheng Su about her?

At that thought, Chiang Qing felt a mix of excitement and curiosity. What would he say? What did they talk about?

Chiang Qing really wanted to know what that couple thought of her, but no matter what, Cheng Su asking her like this must mean she felt threatened.

Chiang Qing couldn’t be bothered to play coy with Cheng Su, so she laid it out straight to avoid useless guessing.

Ordinary women might have just gone along with Chiang Qing, moving them with emotion and reasoning, or bluntly threatening, saying things like ”I know what you’re thinking, keep away from my husband,” and the like.

Unfortunately for Chiang Qing, she was dealing with Cheng Su, who never played by the rules.

Cheng Su tilted her head and feigned ignorance, ”What do you want me to say, Doctor Chiang?”

Chiang Qing had been ready with a response, but Cheng Su’s question completely threw her off track.

Could it be she didn’t come because of Taiguo? That couldn’t be right; she had already mocked and taunted Chiang Qing the first time they met. She was no naive country girl!

Chiang Qing furrowed her brows and said firmly, ”You came to find me because of Commander Qi, right?”

Cheng Su put on a baffled expression and said, ”Huh? That’s strange. What does talking to you have to do with my husband?” But inside, she sneered, thinking: Little goblin, you really think I’d just bluntly warn you so you could climb up the branch? I’ll play you to death.

Hearing her words, Chiang Qing’s brow furrowed even more, and her pretty face started to strain. But what could she say now?

Facing Cheng Su’s unpredictable moves, all of Chiang Qing’s tactics were useless. After thinking for a moment, she said, ”It seems I’ve overthought it. I assumed Sister-in-law Qi had misunderstood and wanted to school me.”

With that, she giggled.

Cheng Su laughed as well, ”Doctor Chiang, you really have a sense of humor. Why would I have a misunderstanding about you that needs correcting? Did Doctor Chiang do something wrong? Look at you, talking as if I consider you some shameless woman who’s after someone else’s husband, you really wrong me!”

Chiang Qing’s smiling face turned green.

”Don’t feel pressured, Doctor Chiang. I have said before, I really have no misunderstandings about you. And I also mentioned that if I were you, I wouldn’t do anything that could lead to misunderstandings. Surely Doctor Chiang wouldn’t knowingly commit a faux pas? With your high EQ, you wouldn’t do that, right?”

Cheng Su, seemingly oblivious to her facial expression, continued, ”Also, it’s not just that Doctor Chiang is new here, and we don’t know each other well. Besides, coming from a good family, you must have excellent upbringing, so how could you possibly do something so disgraceful and shameless? If word got out, it would make people blush, wouldn’t it? Plus, Doctor Chiang, you have said it yourself, ordinary people aren’t on your level, and you wouldn’t look their way. Our Old Qi, a rural man and most importantly, married—would you even give him a second glance?”

Chiang Qing’s face turned from green to black, and after a long pause, she finally said, ”Sister-in-law Qi is taking it too far. Love is a complicated matter. Let me ask you, if someone really did fall for Commander Qi, what would you do?”

Cheng Su’s smile faded, her expression turning stern as she said, ”If that’s the case, then it would be a fight to the death, a situation where either the fish dies or the net splits.”
