"But you didn't. But you've always been in my heart, I've been waiting for you..."
Wen Qiao's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Since you've been waiting for him all this time, why haven't you heard a single word from him for over a decade?"
"Sister Yu, have you been abroad for too long and lost your mind? Ji Chuan and I are now married, it's a military marriage. You're openly saying these things, which is destroying a military marriage. You're a bad element, I can report you directly."
Wen Qiao knew about the relationship between Shen Jichuan and Yu Mengxian.
The Shen family and the Yu family have been good friends for decades.
It was only because the old man of the Shen family passed away that the entire Yu family went abroad, and that's when they lost contact.
If Yu Mengxian really said these words as Shen Jichuan's friend, it wouldn't really be considered disrupting a military marriage.
Wen Qiao just deliberately exaggerated the situation.
She doesn't like Yu Mengxian.
Yu Mengxian was too goal-oriented.
This also made Wen Qiao feel strange. Why did Yu Mengxian suddenly return to China and rush to the Northwest instead of staying in Beicheng for long?
Does she have some kind of leverage over Shen Jichuan? Why is she in such a hurry to come see him?
Upon hearing Wen Qiao's words, Yu Mengxian felt that this young woman was difficult to deal with.
According to his previous life, Wen Qiao didn't exist at this time, and Shen Jichuan didn't have any women around him.
Now, Shen Jichuan is not only married, but Wen Qiao is also pregnant...
That's not right.
Isn't Shen Jichuan in poor health?
In her previous life, after she was deported back to China, she naturally wanted to find someone to help her get out of trouble. She spent money to find someone to help her find Shen Jichuan, and learned that Shen Jichuan had never married and had only his adopted son Shen Haiyang by his side.
Shen Haiyang later schemed to swindle money from Shen Jichuan for the sake of a woman.
Shen Jichuan kicked Yangzi out and lived alone.
I heard that he later became a Buddhist and even made offerings to some things in the temple.
Yu Mengxian didn't know the specifics, but she did know that Shen Jichuan was all alone at that time and had never married or had children.
Could it be that the child Wen Qiao is having now isn't Shen Jichuan's at all?
That's definitely the case.
Shen Jichuan's health is failing, and he is approaching forty.
I've heard that as men get older, they become less capable, and Wen Qiao is a young girl, so how could she possibly like an old man?
Having heard Wen Qiao mention the disruption of military marriages, Yu Mengxian naturally understood.
He then looked at Wen Qiao, raised an eyebrow, and chuckled.
"You're exaggerating. Although Jichuan and I haven't been in contact for over a decade, our friendship has always remained."
"Ji Chuan, I came here because I really knew you had come down to the Northwest. I was very worried. Luckily, I just returned from abroad and am now working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you need anything, just tell me. Although my abilities are limited, I will definitely do my best to help you."
"No need."
Yu Mengxian kept changing her mind, and Shen Jichuan couldn't figure out what she wanted to do by coming to the Northwest to find him.
Yu Mengxian looked at Shen Jichuan with a worried expression.
"Ji Chuan, do you have to be so polite with me? I'm genuinely trying to do what's best for you."
"Forget it, you wouldn't understand what I'm saying now. I didn't come to the Northwest just to see you. Don't overthink it. My parents aren't in good health. I heard there's a kind of ginseng here that's good for the elderly, and I wanted to do my best to be filial to them."
"I came here specifically because I knew you were here. Since your wife can't stand me, I'll stay at Director Li's house for now. I'll go back once I'm done with my work."
Since what she said didn't seem like a lie, Shen Jichuan didn't doubt it much.
He couldn't be bothered to question it, after all, Yu Mengxian was now an insignificant person to him.
Besides doing his job well, he also had to maintain contact with people in Beicheng and take care of Wen Qiao in every detail.
Because of the heavy snow a few days ago, there wasn't even time to take Wen Qiao to the provincial hospital for a prenatal checkup.
These are all things.
But Wen Qiao felt that Yu Mengxian's words were largely unsubstantiated.
While it's possible she came to the Northwest to find ginseng, it's unlikely she would have traveled that far alone to the Northwest solely for ginseng.
Yu Mengxian suddenly returned from abroad and immediately went to the Northwest after arriving in Beicheng.
Wen Qiao felt that something was off about this whole thing.
