Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1563: Chapter 1564: Nearly Hit the Nail on the Head

In the bathroom, the sound of running water was continuous, as Chiang Qing stared at the pool of water in the sink, her eyes dry, her red lips tightly pursed.

Ning Gang had risen to power. If the Loo Family hadn’t collapsed, and Jiang Conghe hadn’t fallen, perhaps today it would have been he who rose to power, and she wouldn’t have fallen to such a state.

No, when Jiang Conghe ruthlessly locked her in the mental institution, he had already abandoned her as his daughter. Even if she wasn’t barely surviving beneath Gao Hongbo, she would probably still have lost herself in that ghostly place.

There’s no difference; it’s all losing freedom.

But Ning Gang, precisely Ning Family, Ning Ge...

Chiang Qing closed her eyes, recalling Ning Ge’s appearance. He had always been on good terms with Cheng Su and the others, and the Ning Family had such power, with Ning Ge even having affection for Cheng Su. So, did everything that happened to her bear his handiwork?

And the Loo Family, collapsing just like that. Her grandfather was inherently cautious. Just from secretly preparing paths for his descendants without being discovered, one could tell how prudent he was. Yet, it all crumbled in one blow, so easily. Could someone have pushed it along?

And such a person...

The fall of the Loo Family and Chiang Family, who gains the most benefit, is now apparent: the Ning Family, probably including Qi Taiguo and the others.

So, was it them?

One must admit, when Chiang Qing wasn’t blinded by love and emotion, her mind was clear. She was of no low birth, the education and experiences she received from a young age weren’t something ordinary people could match. Even though Jiang Conghe was a driving force, she still had talent of her own to become a military doctor.

Therefore, even though she had no evidence now that the downfall of the Chiang and Loo families was related to Ning Ge and the others, she could more or less guess the truth.

”If you hadn’t insisted on being with Qi Taiguo, the family wouldn’t have ended up like this, and we wouldn’t have fallen to this point...” Jiang Conghe’s words echoed in her mind.

Qi Taiguo, that man.

The name pierced Chiang Qing’s soft heart like a needle, causing her such pain she could barely stand.

She looked at herself in the mirror, not understanding why she was so stubborn. Was it because, deep in her heart, that voice kept saying, he is yours, the two of you were meant to be happy together?

Is that why she was so persistent?

”What good is persistence? He doesn’t want you at all!” The woman in the mirror, identical to her, sneered at her.

”No!” Chiang Qing screamed out.

”Xiao Chiang?” Someone knocked on the door, ”Are you okay?”

Chiang Qing, panting heavily, her head dizzy, took a deep breath.

Opening the door, Old Master Wang stood at the entrance. She smiled and asked, ”Old Master Wang, are you also here for the bathroom?”

”I just came to see if you’re alright?” Old Master Wang said lecherously, looking at her with concern.

Seeing that gaze, Chiang Qing felt a tightness in her chest, ready to vomit, and really turned around to the toilet and threw up violently.

Old Master Wang followed her in, casually closed the bathroom door, and locked it, his hand gently rubbing her back, ”Are you alright?”

Chiang Qing waved her hand, turned on the faucet to rinse her mouth, and said, ”I’m fine, but thank you for your concern!”

Having had some alcohol, her voice sounded even more charming. Old Master Wang felt elated, saying, ”As long as you’re okay, I was just worried you might be uncomfortable.” As he spoke, he couldn’t resist moving his hand up and down her back.

Chiang Qing’s body stiffened, and she swiftly turned around, glaring at him, ”Old Master Wang, you!”

”Darling, I’ve missed you so much.” Old Master Wang thought she was playing hard to get and immediately embraced her.
