Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1766: Chapter 1767: She Is Nothing

The trap Ning Ge dug for Chiang Qing with the eyedrops, Chiang Qing naturally had no idea about. She was still waiting for Shen Rong to replace her with a more obedient lackey, but the one who showed up was still that Chen Gang.

Fine, whatever. Then Shen Qizheng also came over, telling her to lift the pressure on Jiang Dafang’s Fangzheng Transportation.

Chiang Qing screamed with rage, on what grounds?

She’d been thwarted by Ning Ge, and now she was getting thwarted by Shen Qizheng too? She was his elder.

No matter how she thought about it, Chiang Qing felt it was unbearable. She went to find Shen Qizheng, mocking him openly and covertly, accusing him of overstepping, saying that if cooperation with him didn’t work, she could always work with Shen Qihong instead.

If it were before, Shen Qizheng would probably have been a bit flustered, but now, he really didn’t care. He himself had already latched onto Ning Ge; as long as his sincerity was enough, was he really afraid he couldn’t secure this connection?

But he also remembered Ning Ge’s words clearly: pillow talk couldn’t be taken lightly. So he said, “This is the Old Master’s idea. If Third Mom doesn’t believe it, you can call the Old Master and ask him yourself.”

Chiang Qing was stunned.

Seeing this expression, Shen Qizheng felt delighted and said, “Actually, Third Mom, you’re just a woman. It’d be better if you went back to the Old Master’s side. When you have time, keep him company, have tea and play chess with him, do some beauty treatments, go shopping. The Shen Family’s money is more than enough for you to spend.”

“What do you mean by that? Burning the bridge after crossing the river?” Chiang Qing caught the insinuation in his words, her face turning ugly.

“Nothing else. The Old Master is getting on in years, and you used to be a military doctor. If you stay by his side, even when the Old Master passes on one day, we won’t treat you unfairly.” Shen Qizheng said, legs crossed.

Chiang Qing sneered. Nothing else, huh? They just wanted to use her as a maid, as a servant.

“Young Master, I’m your Third Mom, your elder. Don’t you think your tone is a bit too disrespectful?” Chiang Qing said coldly.

“Of course I know that. But you in the Capital are pretty much useless.” Shen Qizheng said, “This time you offended the Ning Family’s Fourth Young Master, and I’m the one who went to apologize on Third Mom’s behalf. Didn’t the Old Master tell you? The Ning Family isn’t someone we can afford to offend. Our Shen Family also wants a connection with the Ning Family so we can develop the market better, but Third Mom, you…” Shen Qizheng also only went so far.

But Chiang Qing was stunned by what she heard. “Apologize?”

How was that possible? How did she not know about this? Why had no one told her?

“Exactly. So hurry up and lift the pressure on Fangzheng Transportation. That’s also the Old Master’s decision.” Shen Qizheng said impatiently.

Chiang Qing stared at him blankly.

After leaving Shen Qizheng, the first thing Chiang Qing did was call Shen Rong.

“Oh, I’m the one who sent him. The Ning Family is at its peak right now. If our family can secure this connection, it’s all benefit and no harm.” Shen Rong’s voice came through the receiver, with no trace of comfort, just informing her of the decision—and at the same time telling her clearly whose side he was on.

“Do you want to come back and rest for a while? Summer’s almost here. How about I go abroad with you for a little vacation? I’ll send someone to pick you up?” Shen Rong’s voice continued.

Chiang Qing brushed him off with a few perfunctory words, hung up, and sat on the bed, feeling as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over her heart.

So, she was nothing at all. Aside from being a pampered canary, when it came to interests, her decisions and feelings didn’t count for anything.

“Third Mistress, the Young Master from your side of the family is here!” Chen Gang came to ask for her instructions.

Chiang Tian had come. As soon as he arrived, he sprawled on the sofa and asked her for money.

“You’ve been taking that stuff again?” Looking at him yawning, Chiang Qing felt a surge of irritation.

“Don’t worry about it. Just hurry up and transfer money into my account. If you don’t, I’ll go ask my brother-in-law instead!” Chiang Tian said shamelessly.

He had come back from the United States long ago, but he’d gotten hooked on drugs. When the siblings reunited, there was no emotion, only calculation. Chiang Tian was finished.

Looking at her brother like this, and then thinking of her own situation, a wave of agitation surged up in Chiang Qing. She screamed, grabbed her bag, and hurled it at him. “Get out!”
