If Jiang Yan were to further punish Qiao Chu with alcohol, her intentions would be excessive.

So she restrained herself.

She also found various ways to torment Qiao Chu.

"Qiao Chu, as the young mistress of the Jiang family, you must be well-mannered. Tomorrow, I have some friends coming over for afternoon tea. Could you help me entertain them? They are socialites from the upper class. You can learn something from me, but you can't embarrass the Jiang family."

Qiao Chu maintained her smile, revealing no trace of her true emotions.

"Auntie, okay!"

"As the young mistress of the Jiang family, your every word and action represents the Jiang family, and you cannot afford to make any mistakes. Consider tomorrow's afternoon tea as a practice session, and go home tonight to prepare."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yan looked at her father and tentatively said, "Dad, you won't object, right?! There's so much to learn about the power struggles and backstabbing in the wives' circle. Qiao Chu needs to learn, right? You can't always be by her side, can you?!"

Jiang Chi's sharp eyes turned to Qiao Chu.

It's time to learn!

From now on, she will face more than just Jiang Yan's petty tricks.

There are plenty of ferocious tigers and wolves out there!

Those people in the Rong Group are ruthless!

He's getting old and can't protect her and Ah Zhi all the time, so he must help them grow up.

"Chuchu, you should go and see the world of wealthy wives with your aunt. There's a lot to learn in that circle. If you build good relationships, you'll find business opportunities! If you don't, you'll be surrounded by pitfalls!"

Qiao Chu nodded, "Thank you for your guidance, Grandpa. I will keep it in mind! I will definitely study hard and will not let the Jiang family down."

Jiang Yan's eyes remained gloomy.

His lips twitched, revealing nothing but contempt and sarcasm.

Tomorrow, just wait and see this brat make a fool of herself!

She doesn't deserve to be in the wives' circle!

Jiang Yan was really looking forward to Qiao Chu being kicked out of the Jiang family.

*****

Before she had even finished eating, Qiao Chu's face flushed red.

The effects of the drug were indeed potent; by the time the driver took her and Jiang Zhi back, she was already feeling the effects.

Qiao Chu leaned back in the black leather seat and rested for a while.

For some inexplicable reason, her body moved against Jiang Zhi as if it were not under her control.

"husband……"

Her voice was sweet and coquettish, like she was pleading.

Jiang Zhi, however, glared coldly at Qiao Chu.

He pushed her away.

...

The smell of alcohol dissipated, and Qiao Chu's eyes became hazy.

She looked very much like someone who was drunk.

Jiang Zhi pushed her away, but she hugged him tightly like an enraged child.

Qiao Chu hugged him tighter and tighter, and Jiang Zhi couldn't pull her away no matter what he tried.

"Honey, I want a hug! You can't push me away, okay?"

As she spoke domineeringly, Qiao Chu snuggled closer to Jiang Zhi.

Her forehead rubbed against Jiang Zhi's chest repeatedly.

Her lipstick also left a mark on Jiang Zhi's white shirt.

...

What is this woman doing?

Pretend to be drunk and seduce him?

How awful!

Jiang Zhi's face was as dark as the calm before a storm, and he stared intently at Qiao Chu.

A cold, hard voice spit out from between his teeth: "Get out of here!"

"I won't roll away! I love sleeping in my husband's arms!" It's so comfortable like this!

Qiao Chu then hugged Jiang Zhi's waist.

Her upper body was still lying on Jiang Zhi's lap.

...

Jiang Zhi's eyes flashed with fury, unable to bear it any longer.

At this point, they returned to Haitao Residence.

Jiang Zhi told the driver to go first.

When they were all alone, Jiang Zhi forcefully pulled away Qiao Chu's hands that were wrapped around his waist.

He shoved her forcefully, knocking Qiao Chu down onto the leather seat.

Jiang Zhi wheeled himself out, completely ignoring Qiao Chu.

Enraged by her drunken state, Qiao Chu struggled to her feet, staggered back to the living room, and pulled Jiang Zhi's wheelchair along.

"Apologize!"

"Neuropathy!"

You insulted me!

"So what if I scold you?"

Suddenly, Qiao Chu bent down and bit Jiang Zhi's ear.
