Listening to Ning Ge’s question, Chiang Tian said with a smile, "Fourth Brother, what are you talking about? I just can’t rest assured about my sister, so I came to check on her."
"Wow, who would’ve thought you two share such a deep sibling bond!" Ning Ge said with raised eyebrows and a hint of sarcasm.
"I didn’t want to come either. This broken city can’t compare to the Capital at all, right, Fourth Brother? But my sister, the way she’s acting, has driven our parents crazy. They’re also worried, so I just came to have a look," Chiang Tian laughed, thinking to himself that ’a companion dies a thousand deaths, the survivor not one.’ If he blamed everything on his sister, would Ning Ge bother questioning her?
"Cut the crap, tell me the truth, what does your sister want to do?" Ning Ge glared at him.
At that glare, Chiang Tian immediately thought of the time when he was hung naked out of a window freezing his butt off, and he shuddered with a near-crying expression, "Fourth Brother, there’s really nothing. My sister, she’s just being stupid... okay, okay, I’ll speak."
Chiang Tian swallowed hard and half-truthfully said, "My sister wants me to woo Cheng Su. She’s thinking, if I could charm Cheng Su and get her hooked, she could get a divorce from that Qi Taiguo! Tell me, isn’t she foolish?"
Ning Ge almost laughed out loud but restrained himself and said, "You’re not lying to me?"
"I swear!" Chiang Tian was about to lift two fingers in promise.
Ning Ge let go of his collar and said, "Your Chiang Family really has some skills, refreshing my view on life. Each one of you is either stupid or foolish, truly a remarkable family."
Chiang Tian’s eyelids drooped, a glint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.
"Get back to Beijing immediately, don’t let me see you around here again," Ning Ge said sternly.
"Fourth Brother, I still want to play for a couple of days. I’m also worried my sister might do something stupid!" Chiang Tian said with a laugh, joking aside, he had only been here a few days, and he hadn’t succeeded with that girl yet!
"That’s your problem. If you’re worried she’ll do something stupid, you’d better drag her back and find a psychiatrist to check her brain!" Ning Ge said.
That was calling Chiang Qing a lunatic, suggesting she had mental issues.
Chiang Tian’s lips tightened as he clenched his fists, a flicker of resentment swiftly passing through his eyes.
Ning Ge, what was he, after all? Nothing more than an illegitimate child. Even though his mother was buried in the Ning Family’s cemetery, it couldn’t cover up the fact that he was born out of wedlock, huh.
An illegitimate child—what right did he have to insult the Chiang Family?
Chiang Tian felt bitter, but he didn’t forget that Ning Ge was a skilled fighter, and with his own tender skin and flesh, he couldn’t afford a head-on confrontation.
"Aren’t you leaving yet?" Ning Ge watched him intently.
"I’m leaving, I’m leaving right now!" Chiang Tian nodded hurriedly and scurried away.
Ning Ge walked into the restaurant, and Cheng Su came up to him and asked, "How did it go, what did he say?"
"Nothing much, but I really didn’t expect the Chiangs to be so low on intelligence. Calling them ’as dumb as pigs’ is actually accurate!" Ning Ge said with a mocking shake of his head.
Cheng Su uttered a surprised sound. What did that mean?
Ning Ge looked at her and said, "Don’t get angry when you hear it, just take it as a joke."
"Spit it out, don’t beat around the bush; you’re such a nag!" Cheng Su said impatiently.
Ning Ge repeated what Chiang Tian had told him, adding, "Although I don’t know whether it’s true or false, such a stupid idea does seem very in keeping with Chiang Qing’s current level of intelligence."
Cheng Su pursed her lips.
Seeing her solemn expression, Ning Ge said, "Don’t take it to heart. Anyone with clear eyes knows that such a beauty trap is impossible, only she is foolish enough to believe it."
Cheng Su scoffed and shook her head, "You don’t understand. By resorting to such twisted schemes, she’s trying to plant a seed of suspicion in Taiguo. It’s her way of making him think I’m a woman who cannot be contented, creating a rift between us."
Ning Ge furrowed his brow.
