Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1187: Chapter 1188: Two Old Foxes

After finishing a half-month course, Qi Taiguo left the military school. Once he exited the gate, he got into the car driven by Ning Ge.

”How’s your sister-in-law? What’s going on?” Qi Taiguo threw his military duffel bag onto the back seat and jumped into the car, eagerly asking.

Before leaving, he had called Ning Ge to pick him up.

Now that they’ve met, naturally, his first question was about his wife.

”She’s in Qing City, everything’s fine. How did you know?” Ning Ge was aware that Qi Taiguo had called home before, but he was curious how he found out about this.

Qi Taiguo said with a cold face, ”Chiang Qing called the military school, specifically to tell me your sister-in-law got into trouble!”

”What?” Ning Ge slammed on the brakes and said, ”Does she have no shame?”

”Tell me, what exactly happened?” Sometimes Qi Taiguo resented his identity, feeling restricted, unable to act freely or as he wished, always held back. He envied Ning Ge, who could do whatever he wanted.

”It’s nothing, just trivial matters stirred up by that little bitch Chiang Qing. But don’t worry, it’s all settled.” Ning Ge smirked and said, ”This time she’s going to lose out instead.”

”How so?” Qi Taiguo quickly asked.

Ning Ge explained what he had persuaded Zhou Jun to do.

”I heard that at the Old Red Army soldier’s banquet, Grandma Zhou and her husband completely embarrassed Jiang Conghe and the others, especially Grandma Zhou, who is not to be trifled with. She slapped Lu Shufen’s face with a verbal thrashing, saying she failed to raise her daughter properly,” Ning Ge expertly maneuvered the steering wheel and said, ”It’s a pity I wasn’t there, or it would have been quite a show.”

Qi Taiguo let out a cold laugh.

”Jiang Conghe was furious, saying he wanted to send Chiang Qing to the United States!” Ning Ge said.

”Would the Loo Family agree?”

Ning Ge shook his head, sneering, ”The Crown Prince of the Loo Family despises Chiang Qing because of a big business deal gone bad. But ironically, his grandfather still protects this non-biological granddaughter.”

Even Ning Ge didn’t expect Elder Loo to protect Chiang Qing like this, despite it affecting the Loo Family’s interests. It seems this play needs more drama.

Qi Taiguo pursed his lips and said, ”If the Loo Family won’t deal with Chiang Qing, then we start with Jiang Conghe. There’s already a crack here, just add a bit more fuel, and maybe he’ll harden his heart.”

Ning Ge looked at him, ”Got any good ideas?”

”For the sake of face, he’d send Chiang Qing abroad. Yesterday, during our graduation, he came to offer encouragement and was very pleasant to me. Why do you think that is?” Qi Taiguo mocked, ”Isn’t it to show everyone his stance, that he’s fair and just? Now, hearing what you say, it seems he’s more interested in saving face. And we’re enemies. If I reconcile with him, those rumors would probably dissipate, wouldn’t they?”

Ning Ge momentarily couldn’t understand his intention and looked at him with confusion.

”For the sake of face, he’s willing to send Chiang Qing abroad. So why not go even further?” Qi Taiguo’s voice was icy, ”Abroad, she could always buy a plane ticket and return. But some places, well, that’s not so certain!”

”What do you mean?” Ning Ge seemed to have caught a glimpse of his idea but still had a foggy understanding.

”Instead of sending her abroad, I think there’s a better place for Chiang Qing,” Qi Taiguo’s lips curled into a cold smile, ”Like a mental institution.”

The two exchanged a look and laughed, like a pair of old foxes.
