Cheng Su was reluctant to interact with Zhang Jisheng; she found him dirty. She just nodded briefly and pulled Xiaohua aside to talk.
Zhang Jisheng’s face turned a bit unpleasant at once.
But he didn’t dare to lose his temper because Qi Taiguo was watching him, and he wasn’t even sure if he had revealed that secret after drinking that day.
It was precisely because of this that he felt guilty. Under Qi Taiguo’s stare, he lowered his head and kept swallowing.
Qi Fenglian watched from the side, feeling very puzzled. Why was the atmosphere between these two so strange? What had happened?
Qi Taiguo snorted, nodded indifferently, and said, "Brother-in-law, if you’ve finished eating, you should go back first!"
"Oh, then I’ll leave first!" Zhang Jisheng was only too eager to go, barely caring if he was full or not, and left immediately.
He felt very uncomfortable being in the same room with Qi Taiguo.
Qi Fenglian felt even more puzzled. What was going on with these two?
With a mind full of questions, she went to collect money first, utterly perplexed, almost making two mistakes while collecting payments.
Could it be that they had a quarrel and fought when they drank last time?
Qi Taiguo sat down next to Cheng Su, and Cheng Su whispered, "You need to tone it down a bit. Be careful not to let big sister notice anything."
"I can’t help but get angry when I see him," Qi Taiguo said with a tense face.
"Alright, let’s eat." Cheng Su asked Xiaoying to bring them two servings of food.
The more Qi Fenglian thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Taking advantage of some free time, while Cheng Su was teaching Xiaohua to recognize words, she pulled Qi Taiguo aside to talk.
"Taiguo, what’s going on with you and your brother-in-law? I found it strange last time you drank together. The house was a mess, and your brother-in-law was bruised. Did you both drink too much and start fighting?" Qi Fenglian asked.
Qi Taiguo frowned and said, "Big sister, it’s been so long, how would I remember?"
"Then what’s up with you guys? Your brother-in-law acts like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees you." Qi Fenglian stared at him. "Are you hiding something from me?"
Qi Taiguo pretended to be perplexed and said, "You know my brother-in-law’s personality well, big sister. When does he not act like a mouse seeing a cat in front of me?"
Qi Fenglian looked at him suspiciously, thinking that what he said made some sense. Her husband was timid, especially in front of the younger brother. It was always like a mouse seeing a cat.
"You’re both mysterious and perplexing." Qi Fenglian, unable to get anything out of him, turned and went back into the shop.
Qi Taiguo watched the back of his sister and opened his mouth, but he couldn’t call out. He really couldn’t say anything.
How could he tell her that her brother-in-law fooled around outside while she wasn’t around?
With her personality, things would definitely blow up!
Qi Taiguo’s expression turned gloomy.
On the way back, seeing his bad mood, Cheng Su deliberately tried to make him laugh. Qi Taiguo said, "You don’t have to worry about me. I’m not angry with you anyway."
"I know." Cheng Su hugged him and said, "But you’re about to leave for training, and we’ll be apart for a few months soon. I don’t want you to be upset because of these pointless people and matters."
"Sorry, I just didn’t manage my emotions well for a moment." Qi Taiguo hurriedly said.
Cheng Su shook her head and said, "I understand. It’s human nature. If you were still calm, I’d find it strange. Even I feel quite disgusted when I see him."
"That’s nothing. Seeing big sister being kept in the dark makes my heart ache," Qi Taiguo said irritably.
Cheng Su pursed her lips and sighed, "Otherwise, what should we do? Should we expose everything?"
Qi Taiguo fell silent.
