Chiang Qing was suddenly splashed all over by her and immediately screamed, "Ah! You shameless woman, what are you doing?"
It was too much. Chiang Qing had never been humiliated like this in her life. Cheng Su, how dare she splash her!
"What am I doing, splashing you, this brazen hussy. I’ve spoken to you nicely time and again, but you wouldn’t listen, insisting on degrading yourself by pushing your face forward for me to strike. You have no shame, and you still dare to ask me why?" Cheng Su scoffed coldly, "I warned you before, whoever dares mess with my husband, I will fight with her to the bitter end. And you, why are you so disobedient, huh?"
"Get out, leave now, you shameless woman, or I’ll report you for causing a disturbance in my home." Chiang Qing was trembling with rage.
"Go ahead, report me, it would be good for everyone to see how shameless you are, knowing full well a man is married and still throwing yourself at him. Can’t you find someone else when you’re in heat? Or did your mother teach you to only go after other people’s husbands because that’s more thrilling?"
Her words hit right at Chiang Qing’s sore spot, and her complexion immediately turned horribly ugly.
"Cheng Su, enough! If you’re so capable, keep your husband close and stop worrying about others snatching him, you uncultured country woman who can’t even show her face in society!" Chiang Qing snapped with a dark face.
"I may be a country woman, but at least I know decency and shame. You’re educated, a lady of high society, but do you know decency and shame? Pah! You don’t know jack!" Cheng Su coldly responded, "I don’t need to keep an eye on my husband. If Qi Taiguo ever told me he liked you, I would divorce him right away to make room for you. But the truth is, you are one-sided, and you’ve even managed to get my husband banished to the frontier. You think you’re so great simply because you like him? The Chiang family likes so they must snatch, and if they can’t have it, they must destroy?"
Chiang Qing was taken aback, "What do you mean by that?"
What does she mean by banishing to the frontier?
Cheng Su snorted, "You don’t know? Thanks to your ’affection,’ now Old Qi has to be far away from me, all thanks to you and your high-ranking father. You, Chiang Qing, are a calamity, it’s only Old Qi’s bad luck to have encountered someone like you."
Having said her piece, she was ready to leave, then added, "Chiang Qing, I’m telling you once more, if you still can’t understand plain words and insist on harboring any romantic notions towards Old Qi, I won’t hesitate to lose face and report to the organization that you have a problem with your conduct, that your whole family has a problem with their conduct. Let’s all drop this pretense of dignity."
As Cheng Su tried to leave, Chiang Qing, still cold from the dousing, blocked her, "Don’t you walk away, explain what you mean by banishing to the frontier?"
Why did she feel something was not right?
"If you want to know, ask your dear father why he had to extend his reach so far as to put Old Qi’s name on the list of people being rotated to the frontier," Cheng Su said, looking at her with not a hint of warmth, "Miss Jiang, Doctor Chiang, consider this me begging you, please spare Old Qi this time. We are just ordinary commoners. Whatever you like about him, I will make him change, that should be enough, right?"
Chiang Qing ignored her words, her mind fixated on the sentence about her father placing Qi Taiguo’s name on the personnel rotation list.
Why would her father do such a thing?
No wonder, today when Qi Taiguo saw her, he had such a cold look in his eyes. So this was the reason.
Chiang Qing sat blankly on the sofa, startled by a loud ’bang’ as Cheng Su slammed the door on her way out. The draft that followed made her already damp body shiver from the cold.
