"That child isn't his; he can't have one! His parents knew all along, but they kept it from him, afraid he'd feel inferior. I don't know how this young wife could be so capable, getting pregnant after cheating on him. Commander Chen and his wife aren't pushovers either; they let someone cheat on them right under their noses. I can't stand it," Director Feng said, pursing his lips.

"This can't be true, can it? If it were true, would the young wife still dare to be so arrogant?" Commander Wang was a little skeptical.

"You didn't see that person. She's been spoiled at home and can't stand the slightest grievance. She's always finding fault with Chen Kai's mother, and during her postpartum period, she almost threw a tantrum. Commander Chen and his wife were so frustrated. Once, during an argument, she let Chen Kai know what had happened. Chen Kai was furious and beat his wife when he got home, which led to what happened next."

After Director Feng said that, Qin Xiaoyu and Zhou Xing's mother exchanged a glance, and everything made sense.

The Chen family deserved their retribution. What were they thinking when they harmed Zhou Yue?

Given Zhou Yue's personality, even if Chen Kaizhen couldn't have children, she wouldn't want a divorce; she'd just suffer for the rest of her life. Now that she has a different wife, she won't indulge him anymore.

"So what do you say now? Will you get a divorce?" Zhou Xing's mother pressed.

Commander Zhou was listening intently, saying he wanted to go fishing with Hanhan's grandfather, but he wandered around the door for ages without even taking out his fishing rod.

"What can we say? We'll just have to swallow our pride. When Zhou Yue got divorced, her family said all sorts of hurtful things, throwing all the mud at our child. Now they think they can lick their boots back? To put it bluntly, these are all people in the same circle. Who can they hide it from? Hundreds of eyes are watching. From now on, her family will have to keep a low profile." Commander Wang sneered.

"That young wife has declared that she's sick and can't have children, yet she still got married. Isn't that just ruining people's lives? She deserves to be cuckolded!"

"Sigh, we owe this all to Xiaoyu. If it weren't for her insistence, we might not have been able to make the decision to divorce Xiaoyue. If that had happened, it would have ruined the child's life." Zhou Xing's mother sighed, her gaze towards Qin Xiaoyu softening even more.

“Whatever Xiaoyu says is right, I just listen to her. And now that it’s the end of the year, I’ve nominated her for a municipal model worker award,” Director Feng said with a smile.

“You’ve got benefits from listening to Xiaoyu, haven’t you? Look, your provincial model worker award is about to be approved. Without the help of the Japanese uniforms, how would it have been your turn at the Second Light Industry Bureau? You’ve been the director for so many years, and you’ve never been this successful.” Commander Wang was quick to speak and liked to expose people’s shortcomings.

"You're right, it's just that Xiaoyu helped me out, I'm jealous," Director Feng said nonchalantly.

"What am I jealous of? Xiaoyu found me such a wonderful daughter-in-law, haha, I'm laughing in my dreams." Commander Wang's words stung Director Feng, making him feel terrible.

"You've finally managed to get together, why don't you eat before you go?" Zhou Xing's mother hurriedly said. It was clear that Jing Tianzhen was a real worry for Director Feng. She knew about Xiao Zichen's situation, and seeing Director Feng's current state, she felt sorry for her.

If Jing Tian had something important to do, the family of three would be so happy. Tang Wenwen is only slightly worse than Qin Xiaoyu in terms of work, and she is outstanding in her own right. She has the looks, the figure, and the ability to do her job. How could she be a disservice to Jing Tian?

On second thought, wasn't I also ungrateful back then, insisting on breaking up Zhou Xing and Qin Xiaoyu? Otherwise, maybe my son would still be alive now...

"I heard your son-in-law is quite nice. We've never met him. We're here today to visit him; getting a free meal is secondary." Commander Wang saw Zhou Xing's mother looking lost. As an old friend of many years, he knew she missed her son, so he quickly changed the subject.

“The son-in-law is a good person, and he treats Zhou Yue exceptionally well. He spoils her so much that we can’t bear to watch.” Zhou Xing’s mother waved her hands repeatedly.

"Our Xiaoyue should enjoy some happiness too," Commander Wang said with a gratified smile.

"What are you saying about me? I heard you, Aunt Wang."

Hearing that Qin Xiaoyu was back, Zhou Yue also left work early.

"You've found a good son-in-law," Commander Wang joked.

"Just tease me. Huh? What did Xiaoyu bring back? Oh my god, it's all fashion magazines! And they're brand new!" Zhou Yue was so happy when she saw the boxes of books that she was about to move them to her room.

"What are you doing? Don't you know what's good for you? Go upstairs and wait for Xiao Deng to come back before you move!" Zhou Xing's mother came over and patted her twice, muttered a few curses, and hurried upstairs.

"She's so careless, she's not even human. She finally got pregnant, and she's so scatterbrained all the time. It makes me so anxious. You give her a good scolding." After scolding her, Zhou Xing's mother was still angry and went on to berate Qin Xiaoyu and complain to Zhou Yue.

The children returned one after another, but Commander Zhou didn't go fishing after all; instead, he bought a bunch of cooked food.

"Take this in and cut it up. Don't add chili oil, your little sister can't eat it." Commander Zhou handed the cooked food to Xiao Chen and gave him a few instructions.

"Hey, sister, your husband Zhou has changed his ways too. I remember when we came here before, he didn't even give us a friendly look. Why is he personally going out to buy food and add dishes to the menu?" Commander Wang looked on curiously.

"People change when they experience a lot. With his original personality, he would never have the patience to fish," Zhou Xing's mother sighed. She preferred Commander Zhou's down-to-earth demeanor now.

Commander Zhou used to be a god, worshipped in heaven. Now that he's descended to earth, he's quite adorable.

Deng Jianyan returned last, bringing Zhou Yue some fruit. Seeing that everyone was present, Zhou Xing's mother went to invite her wife out.

My wife slept a bit too much in the afternoon. Hearing the commotion outside, she just sat up to calm herself down and hasn't come out yet.

Director Feng had only heard of Deng Jianyan before, and this was his first meeting with him. He had a good impression of him. He also heard that Deng was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, so he had his pulse taken.

Deng Jianyan analyzed her lesions one by one and prescribed some traditional Chinese medicine.

"Old Wang, come quick! This Dr. Deng is a miracle doctor, even more accurate than a fortune teller!" Director Feng said happily, waving his hand.

"Really? Let me see." Commander Wang, eager for news, also ran over.

Qin Xiaoyu found this amusing, comparing it to queuing up to have one's palm read.

Once everyone at the table was seated, Director Feng's eyes dimmed again. Wasn't this lively and bustling scene exactly what she wanted?

The family is harmonious and loving, which is truly enviable.

After dinner and clearing the table, Commander Wang insisted on looking at wedding dresses, which Zhou Yue was eager to show off.

Xiao Jin had already tidied up the table before helping her lay out the wedding dress.

"What's the use of something like this? It takes months to make."

Deng Jianyan harbored deep resentment towards the wedding dress, but only dared to mutter it under his breath. He couldn't afford to offend any of the women in the room, and only Commander Zhou dared to secretly nod in agreement.

“Of course it works! This is the one time in my life I want to wear it again. You tell me, isn’t it useful?” Zhou Yue said confidently.
