Upon seeing Shen Jichuan approach, Li Ling immediately went up to him to complain.
“Sir, look, this country girl has no manners. When you’re not home, she’s so arrogant and bossy, even ordering me around to cook and do laundry for her.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Qiao frowned slightly and said, "Sister Ling, aren't you just a nanny in the Shen family? A nanny's job is to do laundry and cook."
"The master is kind-hearted and tolerates your carefree and undisciplined behavior, but you can't really treat yourself as the master anymore?"
"Also, when did I ask you to do my laundry? I wash my own clothes. You have to slander me when I'm not around."
Wen Qiao said that on purpose.
Given how Li Ling is targeting her now, it's hard to guarantee that she won't secretly try to undermine Shen Jichuan in the future.
It's better to take this opportunity to say what you need to say now.
Even if Li Ling speaks ill of her to Shen Jichuan in private in the future, Shen Jichuan will still doubt the truth of it.
Shen Haiyang, on the other hand, watched as Wen Qiao relentlessly berated Li Ling.
He immediately reprimanded her with a cold and displeased expression, "Wen Qiao, shut up! This is none of your business."
Wen Qiao looked up and gazed at Shen Jichuan.
"Ji Chuan, tell me, have you finished preparing the marriage application? We're just waiting to get our marriage certificate. My household registration book is ready a long time ago. I'll go with you to get the certificate first thing tomorrow morning."
Hearing Wen Qiao call his name like that, Shen Jichuan's cold face cracked a little.
He frowned slightly, unable to accept that Wen Qiao was calling him by his name.
Wen Qiao is about the same age as his niece.
Even other women, at Wen Qiao's age, would have to call him "uncle" when they saw him.
Shen Jichuan said coldly, "Call me 'sir' just like Sister Ling does. Don't call me that."
Wen Qiao didn't say anything in response to Shen Jichuan's rebuttal.
He simply replied obediently, "Yes, sir!"
Seeing that Shen Jichuan's attitude was unusually calm, especially when he heard Wen Qiao mention getting a marriage certificate, he didn't get angry or upset.
Shen Haiyang grew up under his adoptive father's nose, and he knew better than anyone what kind of look his adoptive father gave when he was angry.
Seeing Shen Jichuan's calm demeanor, Shen Haiyang was very worried.
Is his adoptive father really going to marry Wen Qiao?
"Dad, are you really going to get a marriage certificate with Wen Qiao?"
“You know perfectly well that Wen Qiao’s purpose is…”
Shen Jichuan interrupted Shen Haiyang, speaking sharply:
"It's my decision to get married. Now you just need to focus on your studies, you'll be joining the army next year, so do a good job."
Shen Haiyang became anxious.
“But Dad, Wen Qiao’s motives are impure, I’m afraid she…”
Shen Haiyang felt that Wen Qiao must have deliberately married his father to humiliate him.
But why would her adoptive father actually register a marriage with Wen Qiao? After so many years in the military, how could he not see through Wen Qiao's intentions?
Could it be that her adoptive father has truly fallen in love with Wen Qiao?
No, that's impossible.
He had accidentally seen his adoptive father's medical report, which indicated that he would never be able to have children in his life.
My adoptive father never mentioned marriage.
Shen Haiyang felt that his adoptive father must have married Wen Qiao for his sake. Over the years, his adoptive father had treated him like his own son, and he could feel it.
Even if Wen Qiao marries her adoptive father, she will not gain any benefits.
Even so, Shen Haiyang didn't want Wen Qiao to stay in the Shen family, as she was an eyesore.
Sensing the malice in Shen Haiyang's eyes, Wen Qiao told herself to endure it.
But I was still furious.
Wen Qiao looked up at Shen Haiyang and deliberately reminded him:
"Shen Haiyang, don't call me by my first name. After we get our marriage certificate, I'll be your mother. It's impolite to call you that, and people will say we didn't raise you well."
Looking at Shen Haiyang's extremely ugly face, Wen Qiao felt very satisfied.
Shen Jichuan glanced at Wen Qiao's smug face.
He said coldly, "Don't go too far. Remember what I told you."
Wen Qiao immediately sat up straight and said in a low voice.
"Yes, I will do whatever you say, sir."
Her main target was Shen Haiyang, so naturally she didn't want to go against Shen Jichuan.
Another point is that, whether in her past life or this life, she is still a child in front of Shen Jichuan at this age.
She was genuinely afraid of Shen Jichuan from the bottom of her heart.
Shen Jichuan forbade Shen Haiyang from asking any more questions. He was unhappy but dared not disobey his adoptive father.
He had no choice but to sit down reluctantly with a sullen face.
But when he stared at Wen Qiao, he didn't give her a kind look.
