Wen Qiao thought about going upstairs so she could wipe herself down with cold water and change her clothes.
Her clothes smelled strongly of pork rib soup.
After saying goodbye to Su Yugui, Wen Qiao went to her room on the second floor.
She had no connection with Su Yugui, so there was nothing for them to talk about.
Besides, there's no point in saying more. She's someone who's been betrothed to Shen Haiyang since childhood. If she tries to curry favor with the Shen family, even if she has no ulterior motives, people will still mistakenly think she has impure intentions.
After Wen Qiao left, Shen Jichuan sat on the sofa with his sister-in-law.
We exchanged some casual pleasantries and greetings.
Seeing that Shen Jichuan was listening, Su Yugui, adopting the airs of an elder sister-in-law, said:
"Don't think I'm being long-winded. My mother heard that Haiyang was injured on duty, so she asked me to come and see him."
"Mother said you haven't been back to the old house in a long time, so go back and visit when you have time. They're all your family, and your eldest brother often talks about you."
Su Yugui spoke softly, observing Shen Jichuan's expression.
She has been married into the Shen family for over twenty years.
When she first came to the Shen family, her brother-in-law had already entered military academy.
They didn't see each other often, but she was still quite intimidated by her brother-in-law.
Over the years, he served in the military, where he developed a ruthless and fierce demeanor.
He always carried a cold and aloof air about him.
Su Yugui was unwilling to get close to her brother-in-law and rarely visited him.
This is because of my mother-in-law; she comes here occasionally.
Upon hearing what Su Yugui said, Shen Jichuan knew without asking what she was going to say next.
Shen Jichuan frowned and gave a perfunctory reply, "I've been quite busy at work lately, but I'll go over when I'm free on the weekend. How is your mother's health?"
"fine."
After Su Yugui finished speaking, she added, "Jichuan, don't think I'm being long-winded, but we really mean it for your own good."
“We didn’t approve of your decision to adopt Haiyang, but we agreed because you really like children. But that became your reason for not getting married.”
“You’re over thirty now, and Haiyang is all grown up. Even if you don’t plan to have children in the future, there will always be someone by your side, so you won’t be lonely.”
"Your mother still wants to find you a suitable match."
Shen Jichuan frowned even more deeply.
He had reached his limit of patience to listen to Su Yugui say so much.
"At my age, whether I'm married or not is no longer important."
"If there's nothing else, sister-in-law, you can go back now."
He's trying to get rid of them.
Su Yugui noticed the impatience on Shen Jichuan's face.
On the surface, he looked worried, but inside he was relieved.
He's already at this age, so he definitely doesn't plan to get married anymore.
I also heard that he was in poor health.
Even if they get married, they will still end up without an heir.
No matter how good an adopted son is, can he be of one mind with him?
She had just gone to see Shen Haiyang, and from what he said, it was clear that he disliked Shen Jichuan.
No matter how well you raise a child, if they're not your own, try hitting or scolding them.
They definitely aren't on your side.
Shen Jichuan's adopted son is nothing to fear, as long as Shen Jichuan doesn't get married, doesn't find a woman, and doesn't want to have children.
Then everything the Shen family acquires in the future will definitely belong to their eldest branch.
Su Yugui came this time for two reasons, firstly to check on Shen Haiyang's situation.
She wouldn't deliberately target Shen Haiyang, after all, he was just an adopted son.
Secondly, it was naturally to ascertain Shen Jichuan's intentions.
