As luck would have it, those words that belittled Shen Haiyang while praising Shen Jichuan to the skies were exactly what they were talking about.
Shen Jichuan overheard it.
The best course of action for Wen Qiao right now is to say nothing.
She said those things just to anger Shen Haiyang.
If I were to explain now, wouldn't I be contradicting myself?
She didn't speak, her lips were tightly pressed together, and her eyes were fixed on the tips of her shoes.
Shen Haiyang took the opportunity to complain about Wen Qiao.
“Dad, you have no idea how shameless Wen Qiao is. She can say anything. She even said that you like her. She even said that you will fall in love with her. What kind of talk is that? How could you possibly fall in love with a country girl from the countryside?”
Shen Jichuan frowned, a slight displeasure in his eyes.
"Shen Haiyang, who taught you to be so arrogant and disdainful of country folk? Just because you grew up in the city, does that make you more valuable than people from the countryside?"
Seeing his father was angry, Shen Haiyang immediately explained, "Dad, I didn't mean that."
What brings you here?
Shen Jichuan asked Shen Haiyang a question, changing the subject.
Shen Haiyang said a few words and then said that he and his comrades were eating there.
One of my comrades was going to the frontier and needed to leave ahead of time.
They were giving their comrades a farewell party.
Before Shen Jichuan could tell Shen Haiyang to leave, a woman in a white dress walked out of the restaurant.
"Haiyang, why were you gone for so long? Didn't you say you'd just grab a few drinks and come right back? Everyone's waiting for you."
The woman speaking was Yang Xuelan, Shen Haiyang's girlfriend.
Yang Xuelan also saw Shen Jichuan. Being well-educated and polite, she greeted him warmly.
"Uncle Chen, you're here too? Are you eating at this restaurant as well? I was just talking about you with my dad yesterday. Weren't you away on a business trip?"
Shen Jichuan gave a soft "hmm".
He does not object to Shen Haiyang finding a partner.
Yang Xuelan is a nice girl; she seems gentle and polite, and she's also pretty.
However, he was unwilling to become in-laws with the Yang family.
He had different political stances from the Yang family and disagreed on many things. Yang Xuelan's father, in particular, took advantage of being a few years older than Shen Jichuan to suppress Shen Jichuan in everything.
He once said that Shen Jichuan had reached the rank of deputy division commander at a young age, which was too fast and could easily lead to his downfall.
Since it was a conflict between adults, Shen Jichuan did not intend to make things difficult for Yang Xuelan.
He looked at Shen Haiyang and Yang Xuelan and said, "You two go eat first."
Shen Haiyang nodded.
Yang Xuelan was talking to Shen Jichuan.
He stared at Wen Qiao several times.
She was certain that the person in front of her was dressed plainly, looked shabby, and was called a country bumpkin by Shen Haiyang.
It's Wen Qiao, Shen Haiyang's childhood sweetheart.
She deliberately stepped forward and tugged at Shen Haiyang's sleeve.
They pretended to be very close.
She and Shen Haiyang seem to have a very good relationship.
"Brother Haiyang, let's go eat first."
"Uncle Chen, let's go in first."
Shen Jichuan nodded slightly, watching them leave.
Seeing that Shen Haiyang and the others had left, Wen Qiao also turned to leave.
Shen Jichuan looked at her and said in a cold voice, "Stop."
"You have absolutely no manners, don't you?"
Wen Qiao reluctantly turned around.
"What do you think I should say? He's your son, and I'm just a country bumpkin who's taking advantage of you. If you're annoyed, just sign a divorce papers and I'll leave."
"Please don't scold me, I'll cry if you scold me."
Wen Qiao wasn't afraid of Shen Jichuan scolding her.
I just felt that no matter how much of a scoundrel Shen Haiyang was, he always had Shen Jichuan protecting him.
She actually wanted to explain to Shen Jichuan just now?
What else can she explain?
Even after the explanation, Shen Jichuan still believed Shen Haiyang.
After all, they have been father and son for more than ten years.
Shen Jichuan looked at Wen Qiao and said, "I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already rambled on and on."
"Besides, I didn't say I was cursing you."
Seeing that she was pursing her lips and not speaking, Shen Jichuan's tone softened involuntarily.
Have you chosen your night school yet?
If you haven't chosen a good one, he can help you with your suggestions.
Actually, as long as Wen Qiao doesn't cause trouble or threaten people, she's pretty good...
However, it's perfectly acceptable for a young girl to be a little mischievous; it's harmless and not entirely unacceptable.
