She could remember the strong smell of alcohol.
There were also thoughts she had when she was drunk. She suspected that someone had deliberately harmed her by giving her a bottle of wine disguised as a beverage to get her drunk, but Su Qianqian discovered it and brought her here.
At first, she suspected that Su Qianqian was responsible, but the anxiety in Su Qianqian's eyes was too real for her to believe, as even the human eye cannot discern the truth.
Jiang Cuo didn't know if he had already compromised in his heart, believing that Su Qianqian had nothing to do with this matter, and that she was wholeheartedly devoted to him.
However, the slightly warm touch and mild pain caused Su Jie's eyelashes to tremble slightly, and she frowned gently, muttering a few words of displeasure.
"What's wrong? Who is it? Can't a man get some sleep?"
Su Qianqian's muttering brought Jiang Cuo back to her senses, but she did not withdraw her hand. Instead, as if she had found something new and interesting, her eyes narrowed slightly, her face innocent, and her hands continued to move.
A strange curiosity arose in Jiang Cuo's heart. She wanted to know why Su Qianqian was doing all this, and what she was after.
Su Qianqian was annoyed for a long time, but the annoying touch on her lips was still there, so she had no choice but to open her eyes.
Then I saw a long, slender, and extremely fair hand held out in front of me.
Looking up, the owner of the hand had his eyes wide open.
He stared straight at her.
Reason returned instantly, and Su Qianqian sat up like a spring.
After Su Qianqian sat down on the recliner, she sat up straight and saw that Jiang Cuo had already woken up and was lying on the hospital bed, looking at her calmly.
Those eyes revealed that Jiang Cuo had already remembered everything that happened yesterday, and was just waiting for her to explain.
Just imagining the series of events that would happen after Jiang Cuo got drunk made Su Qianqian's scalp tingle.
How can I wash this kind of thing clean?
Su Qianqian was just as nervous as she was when she was interviewing for a job in the previous world. Jiang Cuocong was like an interviewer lying on the bed, exuding an imposing aura.
Jiang Cuo's flippant remark during his half-dazed state yesterday further alerted Su Qianqian.
Rather than letting Jiang Cuo manipulate her, she might as well speak up and explain first.
With her silver tongue honed in the previous world, surely she could understand Jiang Cuo, who is now a high school student.
We must strike first and explain things clearly to prevent Jiang Cuo from saying anything suspicious. We must shut Jiang Cuo up so that he doesn't say anything strange again.
"Jiang, you're finally awake. Are you feeling any better?"
Your grandparents are a little worried about you, but don't worry, I've already told them that you're just feeling a little unwell and you've already asked the school for leave.
The ambulance was operated by a private doctor, and this is also my private hospital. No one knows why Jiang was brought in, and I didn't ask her grandparents for any money; I've already covered her medical expenses.
I've investigated yesterday's events thoroughly; it was all Su Lian's doing. Su Lian doesn't like me. She actually set her sights on you. I gave her a stern warning yesterday, telling her to come at me with anything and not to bother you in the slightest.
Otherwise, I'll make her pay! If Jiang doesn't feel unwell right now, she can get up and go to class. There's still half an hour before class. My butler is already waiting outside and can take us directly to school.
After Su Qianqian finished speaking, she placed her hands on her lap and wore a standard, fake smile.
Su Qianqian's explanation was concise, comprehensive, and clear, while also removing any strange or misleading details that might cause confusion.
After speaking, Su Qianqian had to give herself a thumbs up for her eloquence. Fortunately, her interactions with clients in the original world had honed her ability to explain things clearly without even thinking.
No matter what, Jiang Cuo is just a senior high school student, at most a little kid. How could he possibly be as capable as a seasoned veteran like her who has been in the underworld for so long?
Just as Su Qianqian was feeling smug, thinking that after saying all that, everyone would surely understand her, she looked at Jiang Cuo's expression again. Unexpectedly, Jiang Cuo still had that cunning look, as if he knew everything, and even seemed to see right through her, as if he could see from her words that she was actually a little guilty.
"Why is Su's lower lip cut? And why is there a band-aid on Su's neck?"
Jiang Cuo's question hit the nail on the head.
It was as if a needle had pierced through the layers of fog created by Su Qianqian.
Reminded by Jiang Cuo, Su Qianqian immediately covered her neck with her hand.
She immediately regretted it; wasn't what she did just like burying her head in the sand?
Besides, what is she feeling guilty about? She's the one who's wronged, okay?
"Ah, yesterday I was in such a hurry to get Jiang to the ambulance stand that I accidentally bumped my mouth, and I also accidentally bumped my mouth on the wooden shelf in the equipment room."
Jiang Cuo's expression and eyes were filled with disbelief.
Su Qianqian suddenly became bolder, like a dead pig that isn't afraid of boiling water.
He was planning to use his last resort.
At worst, she'll just give up her face.
She just couldn't swallow this insult.
If Jiang Cuo really remembers everything, she should just point it out directly and frankly. Trying to get something for nothing here, does she really think she's easy to bully?
[Waste System: Congratulations, host. Since Jiang Cuo has regained consciousness, the system has detected that Jiang Cuo's current aversion to the host is 50.]
The host's integration level with this system's world has increased by 5%. The host's current integration level with this system's world is 45%.
Su Qianqian raised an eyebrow after hearing the notification from the Waste System.
Suddenly, he felt invigorated and no longer afraid.
The decrease in aversion level means that Jiang Cuo clearly doesn't remember what happened yesterday.
I have no idea what the wound on her mouth and the bandage on her neck came from.
How can she be considered cowardly?
She thought Jiang Cuo's aura was so imposing that it was as if he knew something and was judging her.
Su Qianqian stood up, put her hands on her hips, looked down at him, pouted, glared, and began to accuse him.
"Why is Jiang starting to interrogate me as soon as she wakes up?"
It's as if I did something to wrong Jiang, when clearly it was Jiang who drank a stranger's beverage and trusted people too easily.
If I hadn't been observant and taken Jiang to the hospital, her innocence would be completely ruined!
It's really hard to be a good person these days.
It's harder to be a good person and not seek recognition, and it's even harder to be remembered for your good deeds.
As Su Qianqian spoke, she got more and more excited, adding three parts acting, four parts exaggeration, and three parts self-pity and sobbing.
Jiang Cuobie silently got up, and his aura subsided slightly.
As soon as Su Qianqian saw that Jiang Cuo was showing signs of lowering his head, she immediately launched an attack.
Weakness only invites bullying, while strength allows one to suppress others.
Su Qianqian stretched her neck out in front of Jiang Cuo and tore off the band-aid, revealing two rows of clear teeth marks.
"Jiang, take a look?"
I was too embarrassed to say it at first, but Jiang kept pressing me for answers, so I had no choice but to tell her the truth.
Hey Jiang, take a look at these teeth marks. Do they look familiar? Why don't you compare them to your own teeth?
This was bitten by Jiang. I was so kind to help Jiang resolve this matter, but Jiang got drunk and started acting like a scoundrel. Like the farmer and the snake, he bit my neck so hard.
Look at all these scars! How am I ever going to find a partner now? People will just think I'm a womanizer. That's why I had to cover them with a band-aid. Do you know how hard I worked?
As Su Qianqian spoke, she glanced at Jiang Cuo's expression out of the corner of her eye.
Finally, they added fuel to the fire by turning the hat upside down.
Su Qianqian snorted, seething with resentment.
"I'm being tactful here and not taking these things too seriously. If this happened to someone else..."
"Jiang, that's incredibly indecent!"
A note from the author:
Su Qianqian: You didn't expect that, did you? I rebounded.

Chapter Twenty-One
After Su Qianqian finished speaking, she felt as if she were standing on the moral high ground.
Intuitively, even Jiang Cuo, who usually exudes a cold aura, would be less imposing than her at this moment.
Then, looking guilty, he apologized to her and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
Unexpectedly, after Su Qianqian arrogantly raised her chin and finished speaking, she lowered her head slightly, opened one eye, and looked at Jiang Cuo's expression. She found that it was completely different from what she had imagined.
Jiang Cuo looked as if he had suddenly realized something and understood something.
Su Qianqian was completely confused.
What did she understand?
Why would you react this way?
Jiang Cuo stuck out her tongue and licked her slightly chapped lips. The pain in her lower lip made her heart skip a beat, and she couldn't help but rub it with her index finger and thumb.
"Su...do you want me to take responsibility?"
Su Qianqian: "Huh?"
What?! What was it about her that made Jiang make this mistake?
What is responsible for her?
