"Dad, are you getting senile? How can you let Huai'an marry a capitalist's daughter?"

"Wanqing?" Lu Zhentian was taken aback. "You're back from your business trip? Who told you about this?"

He and Yuanyang had agreed to keep this from Wen Wanqing for the time being, and to tell her when the time was right.

Wen Wanqing knew perfectly well what Zhang Juan was thinking, and she didn't intend to help cover it up.

“My sister-in-law wanted me to use my connections to get Huainan into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but I didn’t agree, so she told me about it.”

"Wanqing, your eldest daughter-in-law is just jealous that you have such a good daughter-in-law. She's deliberately trying to stir up trouble in front of you. Don't believe her. Wantang is a good girl. As for her background... she can't control it."

Wen Wanqing didn't believe a word of this.

"Dad, if what you're saying is true, you and Yuanyang are hiding it from me?"

Lu Zhentian's once-powerful voice suddenly weakened.

"Wanqing, Old Su has been kind to me, I can't just watch his granddaughter suffer!"

Wen Wanqing wasn't buying it: "Dad, if I had another son, I wouldn't say anything. But I only have one son, Huai'an, and I will absolutely not allow him to marry such a spoiled capitalist's daughter."

"Wanqing, Wantang isn't what you think. She's very talented too."

"Dad, all I know is that she will be a burden to Huai'an!"

"You don't need to say anything more. I've already taken leave and bought a train ticket for this afternoon. This divorce is a must!"

After saying that, Wen Wanqing didn't give Lu Zhentian a chance to speak again. She walked away in her high heels.

Lu Zhentian hurriedly called Lu Yuanyang, who, upon learning of the situation, immediately took leave to go to the train station to stop them.

Not only did he fail to stop Wen Wanqing, but he also got beaten up by her and came back with a swollen face.

"Dad, I couldn't stop him."

Lu Zhentian said irritably, "What a pathetic man! Couldn't you have knocked him out and carried him back?"

"Wanqing said if I dare, she'll divorce me!"

Lu Zhentian: "..."

Unable to stop Wen Wanqing, Lu Zhentian hurriedly called the military again, only to learn that Lu Huai'an was on a mission.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Why did things have to be so unfortunate?

Thinking of the culprit, Lu Zhentian picked up the phone and gave Lu Yuanzhou another good scolding, meaning that he should control his wife.

After hanging up, Lu Yuanzhou called home again.

"What have you done, you old hag? Why are you making the old man so angry that he's pointing his finger at me and yelling at me?"

Zhang Juan stammered as she recounted what had happened at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Lu Yuanzhou.

"Are you out of your mind? If the third son's family makes a scene and they really get a divorce, what if, given Dad's personality, he marries that capitalist's daughter into our family?"

"Huh?" Zhang Juan was a little incredulous. "No way?"

“Huaibei and Huainan are the old man’s own grandsons. How could the old man watch them marry a divorced woman? And a bad element of the capitalist family at that?”

Lu Yuanzhou is old and has a good memory, but he knows that Lu Zhentian has been talking about marrying the Su family's granddaughter for more than ten years, only in recent years has he talked about it less.

He thought Lu Zhentian had let it go, but now he sees that Lu clearly remembers it.

"Why not? Second Sister only has one son, she would never marry him even if it meant death. That would leave us with our two unmarried sons."

"But she's remarried!"

"So what if he's remarried? If Dad cared about that, he wouldn't have forced the younger generation in Huai'an to agree to marry that scoundrel from the Su family!"

Hearing what Lu Yuanzhou said, Zhang Juan panicked completely.

“Yuanzhou, what should we do? It’s all my fault for being so loose-lipped. I couldn’t hold back and told my third brother’s wife about it.”

Lu Yuanzhou pondered for a while.

"Doesn't the second son have a girlfriend? Let him marry her first. The third son is still young. If it doesn't work out, we can postpone it for another two years."

Zhang Juan's face showed some reluctance.

"Yuanzhou, that girl in Huaibei—"

"You still have time to choose? If your third son's wife really succeeds in getting a divorce, you can just wait for that capitalist bad element to become your daughter-in-law. At that time, she will rely on her father's power to ride roughshod over you, her mother-in-law!"

Beep beep beep.

The call was disconnected by Lu Yuanzhou.

Zhang Juan also got busy.

Let the second daughter get married first; her son can't marry a divorced capitalist or a bad element!

Su Wantang had no idea that Lu Huai'an's biological mother, her mother-in-law, had already boarded the train to the military base.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Wantang, who had just finished get off work, was called to Xu Feng's office.

"Su Wantang, doctors from Beijing will be coming to the hospital tomorrow to select promising candidates. You performed well, and the hospital director and I have specifically spoken to you. We are now allowing you to perform an independent surgery, just like Su Yue."

Su Wantang hadn't expected such a good thing, and immediately said happily, "Thank you, Director."

Seeing her like this, Xu Feng ruthlessly poured cold water on her.

"Don't be too happy yet. Time is tight, and theoretical knowledge is ultimately superficial. Whether you can do the job depends on your own ability. Moreover, because you lack experience, we will only be stricter with you. If there is even the slightest inappropriate behavior, we will stop you immediately."

Upon hearing this, Su Wantang calmed down: "Director, I will try my best!"

Seeing that Su Wantang had calmed down, Xu Feng nodded secretly.

"You're still young. If it doesn't work this time, there's always next time."

"I understand, Director."

"Is there anything else you don't understand? Now that I have some time, you can ask me everything."

"Thank you, Director."

While Su Wantang was making the most of her time to study, Su Yue was also extremely anxious.

"Liu Cuicui, are you kidding me? It's been two days, and no outsiders have come to the army."

Liu Cuicui, who was lying in bed eating an orange, rolled her eyes: "What's the rush? It's coming tomorrow."

This casual tone, like asking "Have you eaten or drunk anything today?", made Su Yue even more uncertain.

She snatched the orange from Liu Cuicui's hand and threw it at Liu Cuicui's face.

"Liu Cuicui! Do you think I'm a fool? You didn't come the day before yesterday, you didn't come yesterday, and you still haven't come today, so you're coming tomorrow?"

Liu Cuicui lowered her eyelashes, gripped the bed sheet tightly with her fingers, and suppressed her pent-up frustration.

"Come tomorrow!"

"If you behave well tomorrow, Lu Huai'an's mother will definitely choose you as her daughter-in-law. When Lu Huai'an gets divorced, won't you become a sure thing for the Lu family's daughter-in-law?"

"Besides, why would I need to lie to you?"

“That makes sense.” Su Yuexin calmed down a bit. “If you dare to lie to me, I will definitely make my dad kick Huo Jun out of the army.”

After saying that, Su Yue slammed the door and left.

Liu Cuicui curled her lip and snorted coldly, "You want to drive Brother Huo away? Brother Huo is a real man who will become a leader in the future!"

It was all because she didn't think things through this time that Brother Huo was demoted.

However, Liu Cuicui believed that with Huo Jun's abilities, he would only be demoted, and would soon be promoted back.

But Su Wantang...
