Li Ling never expected that her current husband would be so indulgent towards Wen Qiao.
After the call was disconnected, she glared fiercely at Wen Qiao with her slanted eyes.
"You just wait, I'm going to tell the old lady about this. The old lady's word is law, and even the master has to listen to her. Do you really think that just because you married the master you're guaranteed to be Mrs. Shen? You're dreaming."
Wen Qiao looked at Li Ling with indifferent eyes.
"A dog relies on its master's power."
“Sir, you’re such a grown man, and now a military officer. Do you really think he’s a three-year-old baby who listens to his mother? That’s ridiculous.”
Li Ling thought Wen Qiao looked delicate and weak and would be easy to fool, but she didn't expect that Wen Qiao would be so fierce when she hit people.
Listening to what Wen Qiao said, Li Ling felt that it made sense.
When the gentleman was young, he listened to the old lady very much.
Ever since he was allowed to live in his own room, he rarely went back to the old house. He was unwilling to even speak to the old lady, let alone listen to her.
Especially in recent years, their relationship with the old house has become very cold.
If she were to actually go to the old lady to complain about the master, even if the old lady wanted to intervene, the master might not listen.
Li Ling covered her face as she walked out of the Shen family's house. On the way, she met several acquaintances who asked her what was wrong.
Li Ling dared not admit that she had been slapped.
She had no choice but to cover her face and run outside.
She originally wanted to go to the old house to find the old lady, but she felt that the old lady might not really care, and even if she did, she wouldn't be able to drive Wen Qiao away. She had to think of a way to get Wen Qiao out of the Shen family.
Li Ling had already obtained Wen Qiao's hometown address from Shen Haiyang.
She immediately sent a telegram to Wen Qiao's hometown.
Wen Qiao never expected that Li Ling would send a telegram to her hometown.
Shen Jichuan was supposed to return that evening, but he was delayed due to some exercise arrangements.
He called home.
The first time I called, no one answered.
He guessed that Wen Qiao might have been disobedient again and gone to night school despite her injury.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, Shen Jichuan called.
It seemed like Li Ling answered the call.
Upon hearing Li Ling's voice, Shen Jichuan said coldly, "Give the phone to Wen Qiao."
"Didn't I tell you to go back to the old house? Why haven't you left yet?"
Li Ling stammered, "Sir, even if I go back to the old house, I still need to pack some things."
Wen Qiao had just returned from night school and was at the door of the living room when she heard Li Ling calling for her husband.
She happened to overhear Li Ling and Shen Jichuan's conversation.
Seeing Wen Qiao come in from outside, Li Ling coldly put down the phone and turned to leave.
Wen Qiao walked over to the phone and picked it up.
"Sir, it's me..."
"Wen Qiao, you're home from school?"
Shen Jichuan, who had been in an agitated tone, immediately calmed down upon hearing Wen Qiao's voice.
"I'm a bit busy tonight. Is your lower back still hurting?"
He made the call from his office, and his secretary was also sent out by him.
He was the only person in the office, and when he spoke to Wen Qiao, he showed a hint of cautious concern.
Wen Qiao replied to him in a normal tone, "It's alright, the medicine works quite well."
Shen Jichuan asked if she had gone out today.
Wen Qiao truthfully replied, "I went to the supply and marketing cooperative this afternoon, and then went to night school after get off work. It's alright, I'm not too tired. Don't worry about me."
