Shen Jichuan seemed to have something he wanted to say to Wen Qiao, but now was definitely not a good time.

When Shen Jichuan heard Lü Yazhi say that she was going to take Wen Qiao to a hotel, he didn't say much. He just asked the driver to take the mother and daughter to the military family guesthouse.

After getting on the bus, Wen Qiao glanced at her mother and saw that she didn't say anything. She knew that the bus wasn't a good place to talk.

Before the mother and daughter arrived at the guesthouse, Shen Jichuan had already called and quickly booked a room for them.

After settling in smoothly, Wen Qiao saw her mother enter the room and remained silent.

She carefully organized the things.

"Mom, stay here tonight. I've found a place for us to rent tomorrow."

"Let me make things clear to you about my relationship with my husband."

Lu Yazhi opened her mouth to speak, but seeing that Wen Qiao had started talking, she didn't know what to say.

He simply asked, "Then, does Haiyang know?"

Wen Qiao's eyes suddenly turned sharp.

“Shen Haiyang is Shen Jichuan’s adopted son. I went to see him as soon as I arrived in Beicheng, but he didn’t even look at me. Moreover, Shen Haiyang also has a girlfriend in Beicheng who has been dating for many years. His girlfriend’s father is also a military officer with a high rank…”

After hearing Wen Qiao say a few simple words, Lü Yazhi understood.

Shen Haiyang looked down on Wen Qiao. Not only did he look down on her, he also ridiculed and scolded her, and wanted to destroy the betrothal documents so that Wen Qiao would leave the Shen family.

Mr. Shen, however, took good care of Wen Qiao.

In her previous life, Shen Jichuan was unknowingly used by Shen Haiyang to send her back to the countryside. In fact, even if Shen Jichuan hadn't arranged for someone to send her, Shen Haiyang would have done so anyway.

In this respect, Wen Qiao's hatred stemmed from Shen Haiyang.

She didn't like Shen Jichuan as much as he did, but she wanted his affection for her.

In order to deal with Shen Haiyang.

But Wen Qiao didn't say that.

But Wen Qiao was indeed a little surprised and astonished that Shen Jichuan was able to go to the countryside and smoothly help her mother resolve her divorce.

At first, Wen Qiao was completely unaware of what he was doing while holding her, but afterward, she realized that Shen Jichuan wanted her.

Moreover, he wanted more than just to sleep with her.

He wanted to marry her.

After listening to Wen Qiao's words, Lü Yazhi asked directly, "So, do you like Mr. Shen?"

Lu Yazhi hadn't paid special attention to Mr. Shen's affection for Wen Qiao before, but it was after Shen Jichuan told her that he liked Wen Qiao that she noticed his interest.

Lu Yazhi then realized with a chilling realization that Shen Jichuan, as Shen Haiyang's adoptive father, was perhaps a little too attentive to Shen Haiyang's fiancée.

She was a country woman, weak-willed but not stupid or incompetent.

Wen Qiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Mom, my husband treats me very well. And we've already registered our marriage."

Wen Qiao didn't tell Lü Yazhi about the ins and outs of this.

Lu Yazhi asked Wen Qiao, "Then how will you get along with the ocean in the future? This is a big dilemma. And another thing, Xiao Qiao, Mr. Shen is so much older than you, how long can his love for you last?"

"And another thing," Lü Yazhi said, her voice trembling with worry, "He's so much older than you. What will you do if he leaves before you?"
