It's just because Shen Jichuan is an elder.
Shen Haiyang had been calling him "Dad" for years, and he was just waiting to be schemed against by Shen Haiyang.
"Don't trust him so much, he just wants your money."
"I know."
Wen Qiao asked, "Do you know why we still gave him money?"
“I promised his father that I would raise him, help him get married and have children. I’ll give him some money, and then sever all ties with him to save trouble.”
Wen Qiao didn't continue talking. She wasn't clear about their camaraderie, but she knew that Shen Jichuan was a very responsible person.
Oh well, let it be.
Shen Jichuan went to prepare breakfast and asked Wen Qiao to pack a few packets of wedding candy so he could take them to his workplace and give some to a few old comrades he knew.
"Send more to Old Zhao."
Shen Jichuan said something on purpose.
Wen Qiao smiled at him, "You did it on purpose."
"Yes, it was intentional."
At lunchtime, Shen Jichuan went to deliver wedding candy to Zhao Minghan.
As Zhao Minghan ate the wedding candy from Wen Qiao and Shen Jichuan, he couldn't shake the feeling of unease.
The sugar was sweet, but it tasted sour to him.
"Hmph, I don't know who it was that said I was an old cow eating young grass."
"How come it's become a case of a calf eating young grass in your eyes?"
"Shen Jichuan, you're so hypocritical."
Shen Jichuan said calmly, "It depends on your own abilities. You pursued her back then too, but Wen Qiao didn't agree."
"She has agreed to be with me now."
"You're talking nonsense! You got your marriage certificate with her first, how could she possibly accept my advances? Now you divorce her, let's see who she chooses then?"
Shen Jichuan chuckled, "I still wouldn't choose you."
“You have a daughter, and she will become a stepmother after she marries into the family.”
Zhao Minghan said, "You still have a son. If she marries him, she'll have to be a stepmother to such a big son. Wouldn't that be even worse?"
"It will be gone soon."
"This is my first marriage, what makes you think you can compare to me?"
Upon hearing Shen Jichuan's words, Zhao Minghan was immediately speechless.
"Eat your wedding candy. On August 1st, at the company cafeteria, it's my wedding banquet with Wen Qiao. Be sure to come on time."
Zhao Minghan said in a muffled voice, "I understand."
This is terrible; the woman he liked was married off to his comrade.
He was unhappy, but he still had to attend the wedding.
We also have to give a gift...
With Wen Qiao and Shen Jichuan's wedding approaching, Shen Jichuan took a few days off to take Wen Qiao to the Friendship Store to buy some things.
He asked Wen Qiao what she wanted for the wedding, such as the clothes she would wear or taking photos.
Wen Qiao said, "Keep everything simple."
After all, there's an age difference between her and Shen Jichuan, so a simple wedding would be fine; there's no need to make it too grand and invite gossip.
Shen Jichuan, however, did not think so. He was only getting married once in his life, so he wanted to make it a big, lively affair.
The eve of the wedding was fast approaching.
According to custom, Wen Qiao had to stay at her parents' home for three days before the wedding, not at her husband's home, so she stayed with her mother, Lü Yazhi.
Lu Yazhi was happy that her daughter was getting married.
They bought festive couplets and firecrackers, saying they would set them off on the wedding day.
As she spoke, Lü Yazhi wiped away tears again, saying how wonderful it would be if Wen Qiao's father were still alive, and they could have accompanied their daughter to her wedding together.
Wen Qiao advised her not to overthink it.
She didn't say anything about her mother remarrying, but Wen Qiao didn't like hearing her mother always mention her deceased father.
The person is already gone, what's the point of saying anything? It's better to live well.
Knowing her mother's weak personality, Wen Qiao didn't say much.
Later, when she heard her mother talking, Wen Qiao pretended not to hear and let her mutter whatever she wanted.
