But Chiang Qing underestimated how simplistically she saw Cheng Su and overestimated her. In truth, when Cheng Su saw the military uniform, her heart skipped a beat, and hearing Chiang Qing saying how timely her arrival was only raised her guard even more.
A woman she had never met before suddenly showing up at her door, and early in the morning at that, holding a piece of menās military uniform ā there was a very high chance something fishy was going on.
And then came the revelation from Chiang Qing that there was a piece of Qi Taiguoās clothing at her place!
What did that signify?
If it were any ordinary woman, her complexion would definitely have changed immediately, wondering what on earth was going on: how did her husbandās clothing end up in this womanās hands, what was the relationship between her husband and this woman, had her husband been unfaithful?
But who was Cheng Su?
In her previous life, she had been a high-ranking executive in a Five-star Hotel, dealing with all sorts of people. Having clawed her way up from a minor department head, what hadnāt she seen, what storms hadnāt she weathered?
Not to mention, in her era, with the proliferation of internet information, even if she hadnāt eaten pork, she had seen a pig run!
Chiang Qing was obviously here to provoke her, and if she let herself become flustered, she would fall right into the otherās trap!
But Cheng Su couldnāt help cursing inwardly: Qi Taiguo, this bastard, what a huge mess heād gotten into!
However, no matter how she vented or what resentments and shock she harbor in her heart after closing the door, Cheng Suās expression remained unchanged as if Mount Tai were collapsing in front of her, utterly immovable.
Moreover, if a woman was proper, dignified, and harbored no ulterior motives, how could she say something bound to be so grossly misunderstood by the otherās wife?
Chiang Qing was definitely up to no good, definitely playing the part of the villain!
In that instant, Cheng Suās thoughts were tumultuous.
"Then I really must thank you!" Cheng Su said with a smile, stretching out her hand, signaling that she could hand it over now.
Chiang Qing was reluctant in her heart, but still passed it over, pretending to smile and said, "Miss Cheng is really magnanimous. An average person might have taken it the wrong way."
"I donāt quite understand what Doctor Chiang means by taking it the wrong way," Cheng Su smiled. "Are you implying that because Doctor Chiang is holding my husbandās clothes, I should suspect my husband is up to something with you? Or that Iām misunderstanding Doctor Chiang for being shameless, for not choosing from the multitude of men out there, but instead scrambling like a beggar for whatās in someone elseās bowl, like a filthy mistress?"
The smile on Chiang Qingās lips froze.
Shameless? Scrambling like a beggar? Mistress? What on earth were those about?
No matter what that was about, it was definitely not something nice to say. Cheng Su, how sharp-tongued, how poisonous could she get with her words.
"Miss Cheng is misunderstanding!" Chiang Qing said through clenched teeth.
"Doctor Chiang, I really havenāt misunderstood. Look, you didnāt admit to being that shameless āFox Spirit Mistressā after all. So I truly havenāt misunderstood anything, and you donāt need to fear my misunderstanding anything about Qi Taiguo," Cheng Su laughed hehe.
Chiang Qing smiled through gritted teeth, "Miss Cheng is quite generous. If it were me, and another woman brought my husbandās clothes to my door, Iām afraid I might lose my temper!"
"Thatās why you are not me, and thatās why Iām the wife of my husband," Cheng Su continued to smile and said, "A piece of clothing doesnāt prove anything. However, if I were Doctor Chiang, I wouldnāt do such a thing."
"What do you mean?"
"For a lady to do something so easily misinterpreted, sheās either harboring ill intentions or is acting shamelessly, looking to be scolded. Doctor Chiang isnāt married yet, right? If people get the wrong idea, it wouldnāt sound good for your reputation, would it?" Cheng Su retorted sharply once more.
"You..." Chiang Qing could hear the scolding in Cheng Suās tone, but her expression quickly twisted as she responded, "It seems Miss Cheng might have misunderstood a bit after all!"
Dammit, still trying to argue with me!
Cheng Su dropped her gaze slightly and said, "Iām not a god; if you insist on my misunderstanding, then Iāll misunderstand." With that, she turned and headed back upstairs, paused, then looked at her and said, "By the way, Iām already married, so Iād prefer if Doctor Chiang would call me Sister-in-law Qi!"
