How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 392 - 394: Self-Directed and Self-Acted_1

Time moved back a bit.

After saying goodbye to Shangguan Qingfeng, the family of three took the car arranged by the other party to go home.

Meanwhile, on this side, Zhong Qiongsui sat in the passenger seat of Shangguan Qingfeng’s car, with Shangguan Qingfeng and Zhuang Shu, who held the child, sitting in the back. The latter praised Li Qiao’s temperament and conversation:

"You said before that she’s from the countryside, but at just over twenty, she talks with us without showing any sign of nervousness."

"She might not know my actual identity," Shangguan Qingfeng said.

Qin Jin was different, cautious and tiptoeing.

This young one is quite interesting too, stopping by the school to find his partner for a meal. At that time, she was a bit surprised.

Zhong Qiongsui said, "Maybe she was trying to catch your attention. These past two days, I just can’t figure out how such coincidences happen in this world? They don’t have children of their own, yet they hired someone to take care of Zhuang Shu’s child. Could it be a show they directed themselves?"

The words held a double meaning, first suggesting Li Qiao wanted to use her beauty to attract Shangguan Qingfeng and then speculating that the young couple had ill intentions.

Zhuang Shu said, "I don’t think so; it doesn’t seem like it."

Zhong Qiongsui seemed to speak casually, "That’s hard to say, that young lady’s partner is quite charming, he always tries to get close to Brother Shangguan. A high achiever from Beijing University and an unimpressive businessperson, they make an odd couple no matter how you look at it."

Shangguan Qingfeng’s eyes shifted slightly, "Are you suggesting they’re the ones who stole the child?" He didn’t know how the child was stolen, but he was clear about how Li Qiao ended up fostering the child, including investigating her character.

She was easy to check.

Due to her excellent academic performance, the people below said that one could simply ask around the local middle school to learn certain details about her.

The university professors all had words of praise, and a person admired by others surely wouldn’t choose a bad partner.

Indeed, Qin Jin was quite capable, turning the leather shoe factory from deficit to profit quickly after taking it over.

He had a group of useful people underneath him; those people had records at the local police station, but only involving group fights. Qin Jin might also have a record, and since Li Qiao had worked in that precinct’s criminal police force, she had the ability to have someone erase his past record.

"Why couldn’t it be possible? Li Qiao’s partner steals, she raises, and then they arrange for you two to meet," Zhong Qiongsui said bluntly.

"I think you’re more likely," Shangguan Qingfeng hinted with meaning.

Zhong Qiongsui was rather annoyed, "Zhuang Shu, listen to what Brother Shangguan is saying to me."

"Shangguan, what are you doing? Qiongsui is just speculating," Zhuang Shu said.

Shangguan Qingfeng fell silent.

He didn’t like Zhong Qiongsui, every time she visited, Zhuang Shu’s mood would fall for a few days. He suddenly said, "The child was raised by Li Qiao for about ten days, and he’s very close to her. When she has a rest day, I’ll arrange for someone to bring her over, so you have someone to talk to as well."

Throughout the meal, Li Qiao never took the initiative to show off herself.

The only time she talked about her work was when she was prompted by the loss of the child. freёweɓnovel.com

Not like Zhong Qiongsui, who whenever she went to the house would tell Zhuang Shu, you don’t know what you’ve missed after getting married, I had lunch with so-and-so today, my job was promoted. Talking about how great work is to a housewife who can’t break away from the family, what is she trying to imply?

Zhuang Shu: "Would she even be willing?"

Shangguan Qingfeng: "I think she would be very happy."

Zhong Qiongsui was getting anxious. Ever since the child was lost, Zhuang Shu had gone mad at home every day, making a scene whenever she saw a man, and the couple argued over the child all day long.

They were on the path toward divorce, but then the child was suddenly found, and their relationship eased. Now, with Li Qiao coming into the picture, she was the kind of superficial woman who sang praises of how wonderful marriage is. If she arrived, how could Zhong Qiongsui continue to brainwash Zhuang Shu?

"How can we bring such a dangerous woman home? Zhuang Shu, you can’t agree to this."

"Shangguan, what if....."

Shangguan Qingfeng interrupted, "She doesn’t have children of her own, fostered ours for about ten days, and after hiring two nannies, is accused of harboring ulterior motives, and you’re satisfied with just a meal to send her off?"

Zhuang Shu was persuaded again, "Then you arrange it."

Zhong Qiongsui wanted to say more, but with a cold glance from Shangguan Qingfeng, she reluctantly closed her mouth.

Inside, she was figuring out how to win over Li Qiao, or if necessary, find someone to threaten her, ensuring she couldn’t enter the Shangguan Family’s home over the weekend.

...

The next day, Zhong Qiongsui went to find the school.

At that time, Li Qiao was eating in the cafeteria.

The surroundings were noisy and tumultuous.

Zhong Qiongsui placed a set of cosmetics in front of her, "This is for you, as a thank you for finding my good sister’s child."

Li Qiao pushed the items back, "She owes me, not you, there’s no need for you to repay."

Zhong Qiongsui’s face changed, and the smile at the corner of her mouth gradually faded, "These are high-end cosmetics, imported, worth more than four hundred dollars."

Li Qiao was alarmed.

More than four hundred dollars?

So wealthy.

Where did these people get their money from?

Do their families own mines?

She said, "If it’s that expensive, I really can’t accept it."

"I’m sincerely giving it to you."

"I can’t take it."

"..."

After finishing her meal, Li Qiao put down her chopsticks, "Excuse me!" She hugged her books and walked towards the library.

Zhong Qiongsui, carrying the cosmetics, followed, "Take it, let’s be friends too."

"I can’t accept it, thank you. I’ve taken your kind thought to heart. I need to go to the library to study, so I can’t keep you company," Li Qiao tactfully declined Zhong Qiongsui’s offer of friendship. Qin Jin had told her the previous night that Shangguan Qingfeng was the big shot around here, placing him in ancient times, in the capital’s strategic location, he was like the prefect of Jingzhao, all departments had to listen to him.

Not to mention his father or his family.

She wanted nothing to do with anyone from his circle.

Lest others say she was using Jiayue to climb the social ladder.

Li Qiao quickly walked away from Zhong Qiongsui.

Zhong Qiongsui clenched her fists, was it because the makeup wasn’t valuable enough?

The audacious girl, her appetite isn’t small.

She must go back and talk to Zhuang Shu about this.

...

There were no classes on Saturday, and on Friday Li Qiao packed her things, preparing to go home and stay. As she walked out of the school gates, she noticed a black sedan parked at the entrance. With her keen eyes, she saw Zhong Qiongsui at the driver’s seat and vaguely made out that there were people sitting behind her.

Her heart raced for no reason, and at this moment, there was an increase in fetal movement. Was it unease?

She felt uneasy too and turned back to the dormitory.

Zhong Qiongsui, puzzled and baffled, watched as the other person shrank back into the school. "Did you see that beautiful girl just now? The one in the black coat, the fairest one, just wait here. When you see her come out, take her to the outskirts before releasing her."

"Okay."

Zhong Qiongsui finished instructing and left.

Soon after, Nan Chuyi came out.

The two were similarly fair-skinned, with their hair down, and Nan Chuyi’s coat was a present from Old Mrs. Qin. Moreover, from a distance, Zhong Qiongsui’s men didn’t see clearly and mistook Nan Chuyi for Li Qiao.

As she exited the gate and entered the main road, they stopped her.

"Miss, come with us," they said, revealing a dark barrel of a gun from their sleeve.

Nan Chuyi was more shocked than scared. Kidnapping a woman in broad daylight?

And it happened to her.

Very well, very well indeed!

She obediently murmured a yes.
