Chapter 182 Wang Lijuan was dumbfounded

At this time, in the family compound.

When Wang Lijuan returned from grocery shopping, she put her umbrella in the corner and looked at Political Commissar Lu on the sofa, asking, "Aren't you busy with the disaster relief missions at the front? How come you have time to come back?"

"It's all because of your good niece, who was caught cheating on someone in the countryside. What's funny is that your good niece's initial goal was to harm Cen Yan, but she ended up reaping what she sowed!" Commissar Lu was furious.

Wang Lijuan was stunned by the barrage of scolding and almost thought she was hallucinating because of her age.

But after confirming repeatedly that these words were spoken by Qi Jingchuan, that he had suffered the consequences of his actions, and that the person he had been forced to marry while having an affair in the countryside was none other than his own niece, Wang Manman, Wang Lijuan was so angry that she fell backward.

"Beast! Beast!! How could she do such a thing? She was so well-behaved when she was little!" It was precisely because Wang Manman was so well-behaved when she was little that Wang Lijuan thought of introducing her to Qi Jingchuan so that the two families could become even closer through marriage.

Who would have thought that Wang Manman, unable to get what she wanted, would be dishonest and, while Cen Yan was away with the medical team in the countryside, drugged her, and in the end, she made a foolish mistake and suffered the consequences!

If Wang Manman hadn't been out of the way, Wang Lijuan would have really grabbed a kitchen knife and hacked this troublesome brat to death!

Wang Lijuan dropped her shopping basket and ran crying to the study, "I'm calling my older brother and sister-in-law right now. Wang Manman can't stay any longer. We have to get rid of her as soon as possible, or who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause later!"

"Stop right there!" Political Commissar Lu snapped. "It's too late!"

Wang Lijuan was dumbfounded. "What? What do you mean? How come it's too late? We haven't even submitted the marriage application yet!"

Political Commissar Lu took a deep breath. "Jingchuan's exact words were, 'If a child is not raised properly, it is the father's fault!' If the Wang family cannot make the right choice regarding Wang Manman, then they are making an enemy of him and the entire Qi family!"

"Is Jingchuan going to sever ties between the Wang family and Manman, and expel Manman from the family genealogy?" Wang Lijuan stared at Political Commissar Lu in disbelief. "How could Jingchuan be so heartless? Manman is just a young girl. If she gets married and there's no family to help her make arrangements, won't she have to stay on Dongming Island and in the countryside for the rest of her life?"

Commissar Lu felt he deserved it. After all that had happened, he no longer wanted to get involved in his wife's family's messy affairs!

"Wang Manman is a troublemaker. Lijuan, don't get involved in her affairs anymore. Go call your brother and sister-in-law and convey Jingchuan's message. There are still many rescue tasks to be done ahead. I'm leaving!"

Political Commissar Lu gave Wang Lijuan a deep look. He hoped that his wife could put herself in Wang Manman's shoes and think from her perspective, and stop blindly indulging Wang Manman just because they were aunt and niece.

If we put ourselves in his shoes, if it wasn't Cen Yan who was almost harmed, but him, would Wang Lijuan, as his partner, have been able to make a big deal out of it and let it go?

Moreover, Qi Jingchuan is quite old, and it's not easy for someone to want him. He will definitely cherish Cen Yan like a precious jewel. Anyone who dares to bully Cen Yan is going against the entire Qi family!

By now, the news that Cen Yan was almost drugged and harmed by Wang Manman has probably already reached the ears of Academicians Zhao Gongqin and Su Xianhua.

With just a word from those two senior figures, Wang Manman's father would not be able to take the position of director of the Beijing Machinery Factory. Alas!

Now, we can only hope that Cen Yan is alright and that there is still room for maneuver; otherwise, the Wang family may be doomed.
