Wen Qiao followed the police out of the family compound and deliberately shouted something at the entrance.
"We're sorry to trouble you, officers. This nanny embezzled a lot of money from the family, and we want to recover these losses. As for what cooperation we need, please just tell us."
The slightly overweight, middle-aged police officer spoke politely to Wen Qiao:
"No problem, we will conduct a thorough interrogation and provide results soon."
After all, Wen Qiao was a member of the Shen family. The police officer didn't know Wen Qiao's specific identity, but he knew who Shen Jichuan was.
Wen Qiao shouted this because she wanted the curious neighbors to know what had happened to the Shen family.
When the police arrived at the Shen family's residence, everyone living in the compound was naturally curious about what was going on.
After Wen Qiao shouted that, the neighbors probably understood what was going on.
When Li Meilan returned home from get off work, she saw several people gathered around Deputy Division Commander Shen's house.
He immediately pushed through the crowd and went over, where he saw the beautiful comrade Wen Qiao standing at the door.
Li Meilan then walked over.
"Xiao Qiao, what happened at Deputy Division Commander Shen's house?"
The less you tell people something, the more curious people will speculate wildly. It's better to just tell them clearly.
Wen Qiao stood gracefully in place and said softly:
"Everyone, stop being so curious. It's nothing serious. It's hard to guard against a thief in your own home. The housekeeper stole things from the house. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but the amount was too large, so I had to call the police."
Upon hearing Wen Qiao's words, Li Meilan immediately stepped forward and said mysteriously:
"Is she Sister Ling from Deputy Division Commander Shen's family? She loves shopping. I have a friend who works at a clothing counter in a shopping mall. He came to my house once and happened to see her."
"I originally wanted to remind Deputy Division Commander Shen that he doesn't care much about his family. I heard that Sister Ling even said she's Deputy Division Commander Shen's girlfriend? Is that true?"
Wen Qiao frowned slightly, before she could speak.
A woman who had been eavesdropping nearby cracked open a sunflower seed in her hand.
"That's definitely fake. Deputy Division Commander Shen may be a bit old and looks a bit fierce, but he wouldn't go so far as to date a nanny, would he?"
"Besides, if Sister Ling really were Deputy Division Commander Shen's girlfriend, would the Shen family call the police?"
They started gossiping in front of Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao coughed a few times.
"Alright, everyone, you can all leave now."
The neighbors listened to the advice, after all, Shen Jichuan held one of the highest positions in the family compound, and it wasn't appropriate to just stand at their doorstep and watch the commotion.
After everyone left, Wen Qiao turned and entered the Shen family's courtyard.
Unexpectedly, Li Meilan followed them in and grabbed Wen Qiao's arm at the entrance of the Shen family's house.
She asked with a smile, "Xiao Qiao, are you free this weekend? You're a really good girl, and I like you a lot. Last time I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables, you gave me extra scallions. I knew then that you're an honest girl..."
Wen Qiao looked at Li Meilan strangely.
"Aunt Li, just say what you want to say. Buying groceries and getting some scallions and garlic as a freebie is just a small favor."
Seeing this, Li Meilan stopped beating around the bush.
He then said, "I think you're a very nice girl, and I'd like you to be my daughter-in-law."
Li Meilan had just finished speaking.
The man standing at the entrance to the Shen family's living room said coldly:
"Sister-in-law, I also think Xiao Qiao is quite nice."
"I want to keep her as my wife."
"Why don't you find someone else?"
Wen Qiao turned her head and saw that Shen Jichuan had come out of the house at some point.
He heard everything she and Li Meilan said.
At that moment, Li Meilan's mind went blank, and she suddenly didn't know what to say...
