Chapter 94 An Uninvited Guest Arrives

Cen Yan opened the door and looked at the unfamiliar woman in front of her. She spent a long time sorting through her thoughts before she dared to be sure that she and the other woman were not familiar with each other.

"Sister-in-law, who are you looking for? Qi Jingchuan? He hasn't come back yet."

Qi Jingchuan hasn't been home for several days. He came back a few days ago saying he had to go on a mission, and then he left without a word.

“I came because I knew Jingchuan wasn’t here. Hello, Comrade Cen. I’m Wang Lijuan, the wife of Political Commissar Lu. You can call me ‘Teacher’s Wife’ just like Jingchuan did.” Wang Lijuan looked Cen Yan up and down and pursed her lips.

She had originally intended to introduce Wang Manman to Qi Jingchuan, but this resulted in such a huge blunder, which was incredibly embarrassing.

She didn't visit Cen Yan like the other sisters-in-law did.

Now look what's happened! He rarely visits, but when he finally does, it's all because of that wretched Wang Manman's mess!

God knows how scared she was when she heard Wang Manman call and say she had been detained while she was at work.

After asking carefully, I found out that Wang Manman had argued with Cen Yan again...

Cen Yan had heard Qi Jingchuan talk about the interpersonal relationships in the family compound, and Qi Jingchuan had specifically emphasized the Lu family, so she smiled and replied.

"So it's Master's wife. I should be the one paying a visit, but unfortunately Jingchuan isn't here, and I've just started working, so I haven't had a chance to come over. May I ask what brings you here today?"

Cen Yan asked the question knowing the answer already.

Wang Lijuan looked around. It was the time to get off work, and while her sisters-in-law were cooking, some of them kept glancing in her direction.

"Let's go inside first, is that convenient?"

"Look at my memory, I've been leaving my teacher's wife here. Come inside, I'll go pour some tea."

Cen Yan poured herself a glass of water; she didn't have time to make tea.

"Thank you." Wang Lijuan took the water, brought it to her lips, and then put it back on the table.

Cen Yan remained silent, and Wang Lijuan didn't know how to start the conversation either.

It's better to resolve this matter as soon as possible; dragging it out won't benefit anyone.

Wang Lijuan looked at Cen Yan and asked with a smile, "Little Cen, are you getting used to living on Dongming Island?"

"Yes, I'm used to it. Jingchuan is very good to me, and his grandparents are also very kind people. At work, my colleagues are also very helpful to me. You don't need to worry, Madam."

Cen Yan didn't respond, agreeing to everything except mentioning Wang Manman.

Wang Lijuan bit her lip. "Manman is a young child who doesn't know any better. I don't know how she was instigated to grow up to be so bold as to cause trouble at the health center."

"Xiao Cen, I heard this matter involves you. If you just say the word and write a letter of understanding, the enforcement team can be appeased. Could you please do this for your master's wife's sake..."

Hearing Wang Lijuan hesitate and struggle to speak, Cen Yan smiled and shook her head, "I'm sorry, Madam, I can't."

"What?" Wang Lijuan didn't expect that even though she, as an elder, had humbled herself to beg her, she would still be rejected outright.

And it was a direct and straightforward rejection, without any hesitation or preamble!

Wang Lijuan's face turned red. "Xiao Cen, Manman is an educated youth. If the news of her detention gets back to the production team, her life is over! Her file will also show the detention information. Which unit will accept her? I beg you, please, have mercy on her, okay?"

“Madam, I am not a saint. This is not the first time Wang Manman has caused me trouble. When I first married Qi Jingchuan, she went to the elders and neighbors to talk about me, trying to make me and Qi Jingchuan quarrel and get a divorce... Her intentions are despicable.”

"She caused trouble at my workplace again this time. You can't do something twice. I've already forgiven her once, how can she do it a second time?"

Cen Yan gave a bitter smile.

“He is humiliated every time, and he forgives every time. Madam, do you know where a person like this is suited to go? He is suited to go to Sichuan Province.”

Wang Lijuan was taken aback. "Why Sichuan Province?"

Cen Yan smiled faintly and said, "Because of his kind heart, the Leshan Giant Buddha should be given to such a person."
