Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1422: Chapter 1423: Beware of Getting Bitten

Cheng Su was being bribed for the first time. Although she hadn’t seen the items yet, Sister-in-law He’s words already had that implication, and she was even allowed to name her price. What kind of situation was this?

Corruption—she knew about it. In her business dealings, she was well aware of how many benefits she had given out openly and covertly; these were all unwritten rules.

But she didn’t expect that even a replacement list could cause corruption. If she were greedy, taking money or something to help someone, then...

She shivered coldly, lips tightly pursed, appearing very angry.

Qi Fengping didn’t dare to approach her, staying far away. Qi Taiguo came back and cautiously reminded her that Sister-in-law seemed angry: better to be cautious.

Qi Taiguo was slightly surprised. Angry? What’s going on?

”What’s wrong? Who made you angry?” Qi Taiguo sat down and asked.

Cheng Su hummed, frowned, and felt a bit of pain in her stomach.

”What’s wrong?”

”My stomach hurts a bit,” Cheng Su said as she gently rubbed her abdomen.

Qi Taiguo’s face changed, ”Does it hurt badly? I’ll go with you to the hospital now.”

He had previously asked the doctor; Cheng Su hadn’t had children before, so her uterus would be fragile. With the pregnancy, she must be careful and pay attention. If something wasn’t right, they should go to the hospital, as habitual miscarriage could be serious.

Cheng Su took a deep breath and said, ”It’s okay. I just felt a bit uncomfortable, but now I’m fine. Maybe even the baby knows you’re back!”

”Really okay?” Qi Taiguo couldn’t quite relax and placed his hand on her abdomen to feel.

Cheng Su nodded, ”Really okay, don’t worry. Maybe I was too absorbed in my thoughts just now, and the little one protested a bit!”

”The belly has just started showing,” Qi Taiguo chuckled, then asked, ”What were you thinking about?”

Cheng Su recounted today’s events with Sister-in-law He and said, ”I just didn’t expect that bribery would occur to me.”

Qi Taiguo’s face darkened and said, ”In the future, don’t pay attention to these matters, just focus on taking care of yourself. If anyone comes to find you, tell them to find me instead.”

Cheng Su nodded, ”When will the list be confirmed? Today, Old He’s Family came, and said such things. I’m afraid others might come tomorrow, bringing things directly; it would be troublesome and have a bad impact.”

”A clear conscience laughs at false accusations. As long as we don’t accept, no one can do anything. You shouldn’t even let them in!” said Qi Taiguo, his face serious again: ”It’s ridiculous, this replacement process has been around for ages, never seeing such corruption before. Why has it appeared this year?”

Cheng Su looked at him and said, ”It might have happened privately, and you didn’t know about it.”

Qi Taiguo’s face tightened.

”We must maintain our integrity. You also need to be cautious and not let people catch something on you; they could use this chance to harm you. When a dog goes mad, it bites randomly. Careful action is never wrong,” Cheng Su said calmly.

”I understand!” Qi Taiguo felt as though he had swallowed a fly, filled with disgust, then, seeing Cheng Su’s furrowed brow, said: ”Ignore these matters, just focus on your studies and work. When at home, take the excuse of needing rest, don’t see anyone. It prevents you from hearing nonsense, which makes you uncomfortable and affects the baby.”

Cheng Su nodded. She also felt that her emotions were fluctuating a lot today, causing her belly discomfort. She indeed needed to pay attention.
