Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Unfavorable Situation
Cheng Su always fantasized that when she awoke, she would find herself back in the twenty-first century, even if that ant being paralyzed in a hospital bed—it would be better than now, when she was herself and yet not herself!
But every ti she opened her eyes, what greeted her was still the portrait of Grandpa Mao on the wall and the red double happiness character. She had finally accepted reality!
She couldn't go back. She, Cheng Su, could only live in soone else's body from now on.
This realization made Cheng Su very disheartened, but she had to accept it nonetheless.
With her eyes open, Cheng Su stared at the red canopy above, using the original owner's mories to sort through her current circumstances.
Because of her family background, it was destined that her reputation would suffer, and her jealousy had caused a fair share of jokes. Her marriage to Qi Taiguo wasn't sothing to be proud of, either.
In her in-laws' ho, from her mother-in-law down to her younger sister-in-law, everyone was dissatisfied with her. She wondered how many tis they had thought about returning her, but in this household, Father Qi had the final say, especially in such important matters.
Especially her sister-in-law, who had said countless tis that a fresh flower was stuck in cow dung—and that fresh flower was her eldest brother, while she, Cheng Su, was the cow dung!
With a bad reputation and a nasty temperant, disliked by all, how could she win people's favor?
Alas!
Cheng Su let out a deep sigh.
In these tis, without good relations, where could one get by?
The original owner had squandered her own popularity, ending up with such a tarnished na. Thinking about this made her face fall, and she was greatly troubled.
Humans are social animals, and she never believed that being alone year in and year out was a good thing. To live, one must interact with others; otherwise, even falling ill would an having no one to bring you dicine!
And when your popularity was lacking, who would want to be close to you?
In her past life, due to her job, she was adept at networking, which ant she had many good connections in every field, making things go smoothly.
Therefore, the most urgent task was to foster good relationships, especially since she couldn't return. She definitely had to manage them well.
Dang, the door was pushed open from the outside. Cheng Su, imrsed in her thoughts, sat up hugging her blanket like a startled bird, warily observing the person who entered.
Seeing Cheng Su's guarded face, Qi Taiguo frowned again and said, "What ti is it, aren't you preparing to get out of bed?"
He also recalled last night when he ca back to the room, this woman actually refused to let him into bed, even playing that hard-to-get trick with him.
He, Qi Taiguo, a proud military regint leader, would not indulge in such gas. If she didn't want him to get into bed, it was right up his alley. Did she think everyone wanted to sleep with her?
Thinking of sleeping, Qi Taiguo rembered her body from the night before, so tight it could drive a man mad—that was the essence of a woman.
He swallowed, his gaze inadvertently falling on Cheng Su, but upon eting her wary eyes, he darkened his face and turned his head away.
"As a new bride, you should serve tea to your parents-in-law. You don't possibly lack even this basic etiquette, do you?" Qi Taiguo took off his clothes and put on a T-shirt.
Cheng Su didn't speak, dragging her feet she said, "You go out first, I'll co after I change."
Qi Taiguo paused, then a hint of mocking smile surfaced. She was really good at pretending, huh!
He slamd the door as he left, and Cheng Su exhaled deeply before letting out another sigh. This identity switch was sothing she really wasn't used to yet!
