She was naturally beautiful, with arched willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of bright, sparkling eyes, and a round face that still looked childish, yet she pretended to be mature and composed.
Shen Jichuan looked at Wen Qiao as if she were a child.
His older brother is about 20 years older than him, so he got married earlier.
Shen Jichuan's nephews and nieces are all a few years older than Wen Qiao...
With a cold face, Shen Jichuan called Shen Haiyang to the study.
I don't know what they said.
Inside Shen Jichuan's study, Shen Haiyang's furious voice rang out.
"Dad, how could you agree to her? She's deliberately trying to humiliate us. No, you can't agree to her."
Shen Jichuan looked at Shen Haiyang and said, "You should focus on your studies right now. I'll take care of everything else for you."
This Wen Qiao is quite scheming, and her purpose in marrying him is definitely not simple. But she miscalculated and really thought that it was so easy to enter the Shen family.
“But…” Shen Haiyang looked at his father, his face filled with self-reproach, “You’re not married yet, and you’re going to sacrifice so much for me…”
Shen Jichuan's expression remained indifferent.
"It doesn't matter who I marry. Besides, she's just a young girl, nothing to be afraid of."
"Alright, it's settled then."
Shen Haiyang knew his adoptive father's temperament; he was a man of his word.
Once he makes a decision, others basically have no say.
That makes sense. How could Wen Qiao, this country bumpkin, be so difficult to deal with?
Damn it, she actually fell for it this time.
"Dad, then Xue Lan and I, we..."
Shen Haiyang and Yang Xuelan, his classmate in high school, liked each other and made a promise to be together after they both got into university.
Shen Haiyang was admitted to a military academy and went directly to university.
Yang Xuelan had to go to the countryside because of her poor exam results and the fact that she was not an only child.
However, Yang Xuelan went to the suburban team farm.
It's not far from Shen Haiyang's school.
The two can meet once a week.
The relationship is naturally good.
Shen Haiyang and Yang Xuening also made a promise that once Shen Haiyang graduated and was assigned a job, he would marry Yang Xuening.
Yang Xuelan's father held a high position, above Shen Jichuan.
Shen Haiyang had some intention of currying favor with the Yang family, but Shen Jichuan had some disagreements with Yang Xuening's father regarding his character, conduct, and military affairs, so their relationship wasn't very good.
Shen Jichuan said, "Handle it yourself."
"Ocean, I told you, you don't need to be by my side after you start working."
“Dad, you’ve misunderstood me. No matter what, you will always be my father. When you get old, I will take care of you and see you off in your old age.”
Shen Jichuan's expression softened somewhat, and he didn't say anything more.
He turned around and looked at Wen Qiao sitting on the sofa.
"Do as you please."
After saying that, Shen Jichuan left directly, walking out with his chest out and a long stride. Shen Haiyang followed after him.
"Dad, are you still busy?"
"There are still things to do at the military base. You should rest well these next few days. Sister Ling will be back this afternoon. If you need anything, just ask her."
Sister Ling is their family's nanny, or more precisely, the Shen family's nanny.
Shen Jichuan is currently living in the family compound assigned to him by the military.
Before adopting Shen Haiyang, Shen Jichuan lived in the military dormitory.
Later, after adopting Shen Haiyang, they applied for a family compound and lived there for several years.
As Shen Jichuan's position rose, his family's apartment changed from an ordinary residential building to a detached house with a small courtyard.
The reason for allocating such a nice house to Shen Jichuan was that it would be easier for him to find a partner after he got married.
Who would have thought that even after all these years of housing allocation, he would still be single.
He has always been reluctant to find a partner, but he has never explained why.
The nanny, on the other hand, has lived here comfortably for decades, and the compound has practically become her home.
