Shen Jichuan, who had been watching the situation inside from outside the door, subconsciously glanced at Wen Qiao.

Why has his mother-in-law suddenly become so good at manipulating people?

Fortunately, his daughter Xiaoqiao is as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.

Shen Jichuan was watching Lü Yazhi as she looked at him.

He met Lü Yazhi's scrutinizing gaze.

She smiled immediately, though she still looked very weak.

Wen Qiao didn't understand what her mother had just done, so she went forward to investigate.

"Mom, are you feeling any better now? Didn't you dislike Uncle Wu? Why did you say those things just now?"

Lü Yazhi didn't look at her daughter, but instead glanced at Shen Jichuan.

"Commander Shen, I'd like to speak with my daughter."

Shen Jichuan nodded, "You can just call me Jichuan."

"Xiao Qiao, I'm going out to buy you some things and make arrangements for the transfer to another hospital later."

Lu Yazhi said, "There's no need to arrange a transfer to another hospital. I think staying here is fine."

"Mom, why did you suddenly change your mind?" Wen Qiao asked, puzzled.

Lü Yazhi didn't say anything. After watching Shen Jichuan leave, Lü Yazhi took Wen Qiao's hand and looked her up and down for a long time.

Upon confirming it was her daughter, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Xiao Qiao, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you. I thought that if I married Wang Dayong, he could help me get back the compensation money your father owed me. That money was earned by your father with his life. I was thinking that if I got the money back, you would have money for your studies and marriage in the future."

"But who knew that Wang Dayong got the money back, but didn't give it to me; he took it and spent it himself."

"Xiao Qiao, don't worry, Mommy is not the same as before. Mommy has to become strong and protect you."

The thought that her daughter had to marry a man twenty years her senior in order to save her from suffering made Lü Yazhi feel extremely distressed.

But seeing that her daughter was pregnant and her belly was so big, she knew that her daughter was carrying three children.

Her gaze fell on Wen Qiao's stomach.

"Xiao Qiao, tell Mommy, do you like Shen Jichuan?"

Wen Qiao frowned in surprise. She felt that her mother was very strange, both in her words and actions.

It was completely different from the last time she talked to her mother on the phone.

At that time, her mother said with certainty that she did not want to marry Commander Wu, and her words were full of fear and panic.

This time, however, she didn't feel the fear or panic she had before.

When she was talking to Commander Wu, she actually acted like she was weak and needed to be protected.

Two thoughts immediately arose in Wen Qiao's mind.

One possibility is that her mother's head was damaged by Wu Xiaoli, the daughter of Commander Wu, and she was talking nonsense.

The second possibility is that her mother was reborn like her, carrying the memories of her previous life.

Wen Qiao answered her mother's question first, nodding.

She said, "I like him. Mom, maybe my intentions towards Mr. Shen weren't so pure at first, but now, I really like him. He's very good to me, and we're about to have our baby."

Lü Yazhi hummed in agreement.

"I'm glad you're happy. Mom didn't say she was going to break you up."

"Xiao Qiao, your mother has only lived for you in this life."

“Wu Xiaoli hit me. Should I forgive her just because Wu Yongliang says a few words of apology? Absolutely not.”

"Mom, what are you trying to do? Commander Wu is a very powerful officer, and our family can't afford to offend him."

Wen Qiao has this much self-awareness.

In particular, Shen Jichuan has now gone to the Northwest.

Even if he had some connections in Beicheng before, people were still observing.

If Shen Jichuan returns from the Northwest, those connections will be revitalized.

If Shen Jichuan is unable to return from the Northwest in the future, then most of his connections in Beicheng will be useless.
