Every time Cheng Su thought about the scene of Qi Taiguo helping her change her sanitary pad, she couldnāt help but smile wryly and find it funny.
Although she was asleep at the time and didnāt see it with her own eyes, she could imagine it herself. Just picture a big military officer, holding a feminine product, clueless about how to use itāshe just couldnāt help but laugh.
It was a bit appalling but also amusing.
Qi Taiguo, provoked by her expression, couldnāt resist pinching her face, saying, "Thatās enough, whatās so funny about that?"
"Donāt you feel a bit embarrassed?" Cheng Su asked with a cheeky grin.
"What, let you bleed all over the bed? How am I supposed to sleep then!" Qi Taiguo rolled his eyes and said, "Besides, Iām your man, whatās the big deal about helping you with this little thing? Iāve seen every part of your body already."
He spoke suggestively, and Cheng Su chided him, "Youāre terrible!" Then paused and added, "You could have woken me up!"
"You could even fall asleep in the bath, how could I bear to wake you up?" Qi Taiguo said with exasperation, "You just donāt take care of your body, working yourself to the point of falling asleep while bathing. What can I say about you!"
"It was that little bitch Chiang Qing who messed things up for me, deliberately trying to disgust me." Cheng Su huffed.
"Even so, you should prioritize your health. You always say your body is the capital for revolution. If you ruin your body, whatās the point of making money? You wonāt be able to enjoy it," Qi Taiguo continued to scold.
Feeling guilty, Cheng Su hugged his arm and playfully said, "Okay, okay, stop talking about it, Iām already terribly embarrassed."
Qi Taiguo snorted and said, "You donāt have to worry about Chiang Qing causing trouble now. Sheās like a toothless tiger now!"
"Whatās the news, tell me, what did you do in the Capital?" Cheng Su immediately piqued up with interest.
Qi Taiguo chuckled and sighed, "Itās not what I did, it was Ning Ge."
He slowly detailed Ning Geās actions in the Capital, and when it came to the part where Ning Ge had someone throw sewage and rotten eggs at Chiang Qing, he couldnāt help but chuckle in frustration.
Cheng Su looked at the buns and porridge on her table and felt a wave of nausea, putting down her chopsticks silently, thinking this was truly a gross form of revenge.
"How did he even come up with such a disgusting idea? Truly..." Qi Taiguo laughed again.
Cheng Su said, "Heās a typical dissolute scion, a tyrant, nothing he canāt think of. Sounds like Chiang Qing really wonāt have any good days ahead!"
Her father disliked her, and there was a rift with her maternal family; those were the only supports she had. Now, with this trouble stirred up, who would dare let her act recklessly anymore? Would her family really abandon all interests?
So, saying sheās a toothless tiger is not an exaggeration.
"I donāt know if sheāll have bad days, but weāre going to make sure she canāt jump back up again. Pulling her teeth was just the first step; next, weāll bind her hands and feet!" Qi Taiguo said with a glint of coldness in his eyes.
"Thereās more?" Cheng Su was surprised.
Qi Taiguo said, "Whether this next move works depends on how ruthless Jiang Conghe is, or rather, just how far his ruthlessness goes."
This is a gamble on whether Jiang Conghe values profit or family more.
Cheng Su felt her curiosity piqued and quickly asked what this next move was.
Qi Taiguo explained briefly, leaving Cheng Su thoughtful, and after a pause, she said, "If this works, then Jiang Conghe is truly ruthless!"
So, this is also a gamble, one based on winning or losing, but testing the human heart.
