CHAPTER 390: CHAPTER 383: THE USEFULNESS OF A BROTHER-IN-LAW

Ever since then, He Chengsi had provided rides to and from school for several consecutive days, come rain or shine. Sisi had tried to dissuade him several times to no avail and ultimately had no choice but to call Kang Mianhua to tie her husband down properly.

Who knew Kang Mianhua would actually say, "Sisi, the teachers at your school are no good, and you’re sure to be bullied by them. Having Chengsi show up at school to make a scene will let everyone know you have a powerful brother, and then no one will dare to bully you."

?????

Is she that weak?

Sisi really didn’t think she was weak at all; she had never been at a disadvantage from childhood, except for that time she fell into Zhong Yuying’s trap. From then on, she was the one bullying others! But why did everyone think she was always the one getting bullied?

Everyone: It’s because you look like the epitome of weakness!

Kang Mianhua truly thought her sister-in-law was delicate. Even though Sisi had gone to the front lines and fought the enemy, compared to Kang’s own glorious military deeds, Sisi’s achievements were as insignificant as a mustard seed, not worth mentioning.

Moreover, Tian Xinhua said on the phone that there were quite a few male teachers at the school targeting his sister-in-law. Having Chengsi go to school and frighten them would keep them away from Sisi like annoying flies.

Sisi was gloomy: Didn’t I just mention Mr. Li? How come there are many of them?

Xinhua smiled smugly: If there’s one, there’s a second. Better to prevent than to remedy. Exterminate them all.

It turned out that He Chengsi’s presence was indeed effective. Several of the male teachers at the school quietly nipped their budding infatuations in the bud, looking at Chengsi’s icy, intimidating demeanor and fearing he wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

The most important thing was that anyone who was driven in a military vehicle wasn’t just any ordinary citizen; they must have a powerful family background! The teachers, being ordinary citizens, didn’t dare to provoke such a person.

Sisi noticed that the past few days around her had indeed become much quieter. Those male teachers who always made excuses to talk to her now merely greeted her politely and with restraint.

Sisi curled her lips into a smile, thinking that this was for the best as it saved her from annoyance. She had no intention to flirt with young men.

However, there was someone unaffected by all this: Li Yuxi. Li Yuxi’s own family background was not lacking, so he didn’t think he was inferior to He Chengsi. Even though Li felt it was somewhat inappropriate to outshine the older man as a newcomer, the current societal values supported freedom to love. Mr. He wasn’t married after all, so shouldn’t everyone be on equal footing?

Sisi: Mr. Li, you really have too high an opinion of yourself.

Aside from Li Yuxi, this self-assured teacher, the school’s teachers were generally reserved and polite towards Sisi. Even Ms. Peng, who had sworn to be at odds with Sisi, had become more courteous. Although she did not reach the point of showing affection towards Sisi, she was no longer as dismissive and contemptuous as before.

Sisi knew that these people were intimidated by both He Chengsi and his car. Using someone else’s power to bully was indeed a bit shameful, but feeling of overpowering others was truly exhilarating!

After half a month of this, seeing that the effects were significant, He Chengsi listened to Sisi’s advice and stopped providing rides. Mainly because the school’s course load had become a bit heavy and time was indeed tight.

Having completed his mission, He Chengsi called Tian Xinhua, "It’s done, no one dares to bully Ah Nan anymore."

Since growing up, He Chengsi, like Tian Xinhua, also called Sisi Ah Nan.

Tian Xinhua grinned and said, "Thanks, I’ll treat you to a drink when we get back."

He Chengsi scoffed, "Who cares? Seriously, you’re so useless, getting scared by a few weaklings like that, tsk, you’ve got the guts of a chicken."

"I was just a little too far away, okay? Don’t stand there talking like it doesn’t affect you. Why don’t you try it yourself?"

"Pfft! My family’s Mianhua needs me to worry? She could take out those weaklings with just a finger!"

He Chengsi disdained even more. As if Mianhua would even notice those weaklings. She could handle them with just two fingers! Only a master like himself could control Mianhua. He felt quite pleased with himself.

Tian Xinhua was depressed. His Ah Nan’s martial prowess really couldn’t compare to Kang Mianhua’s! But thinking of Sisi’s delicate and soft body, Tian Xinhua cheered up again. Why does a wife need to be that powerful? Hugging someone like Kang Mianhua surely wouldn’t be as comfortable as hugging his Ah Nan. Ah Nan felt so nice to hold!

Thinking of the tender moments with Sisi before leaving, Tian Xinhua felt his body heat up. He and Sisi had nearly gone all the way, only missing that final step.

At this moment, Tian Xinhua wished he could fly to Beijing and kiss Sisi. Seeing his furious little buddy below, Tian Xinhua couldn’t help but give a wry smile, knowing he’d have to take another cold shower tonight.

Having no other way to vent his frustration, Tian Xinhua teased the already irritated He Chengsi: "Only men who are not powerful need a fierce wife. Ah Nan has my protection, she doesn’t need to be that strong!"

After speaking, Tian Xinhua hung up the phone, hummed a tune, and went to take a cold shower, leaving He Chengsi fuming by the phone.

Damn, use me and then turn your back on me!

Sisi was unaware of the little schemes between her fiancé and her brother. She was supposed to have dinner at the Old Man’s house today. The Old Man called her this morning to come over. Ever since she moved out, she’d normally go back for dinner, but she had her period these last few days, felt sluggish, and didn’t have much appetite, so she hadn’t been home for several days.

Since He Chengsi stopped giving her rides, Sisi started to drive herself to and from work. She was previously worried that being too high-profile could affect her image, so she used to take the bus or bike every day. But now she thought about it, she was such a fool - why should she have to put up with that?

But ever since she started driving herself, she had put the school staff in their place. The teachers were even more courteous to her, always trembling in fear, as if they were looking at a tigress.

In fact, these people were intimidated by Sisi’s car plate. That car was previously driven by Tian Xinhua, and the plate was arranged by Luo Datou. Naturally, Luo Datou’s involvement meant it was something extraordinary, hence the car plate really had quite the reputation, very impressive!

Sisi didn’t know the trick behind it; she just found driving the car more convenient. Even if she knew, she wouldn’t care - she loved having the upper hand!

As Sisi approached her car parked at the school gate, a female teacher hurried after her, "Mr. He, wait for me a moment."

Sisi frowned slightly but still stopped, turning to look at the female teacher who was rushing towards her. This woman was named Jiang Fang, and she taught music, joining the school half a year earlier than her.

Jiang Fang was very dignified and commanding, a perfect fit for the role of a legitimate wife in ancient times, while Sisi was more like the favored concubine type.

Jiang Fang was a local too, living not too far from where Sisi lived. The two didn’t really have much to do with each other, working in the same office, but once on a rainy day, Jiang Fang didn’t have an umbrella, failed to catch the bus after a long wait, and got thoroughly soaked. Sisi, on a rare occasion, took pity and kindly gave her a lift.
