Yu Mengxian came early in the morning to annoy Wen Qiao, then turned and left.
Just as Yu Mengxian left, Squad Leader Sun, who had come to help, arrived with a few others.
They were carrying tools and were about to enter the Shen family's house when they almost bumped into Yu Mengxian.
Yu Mengxian glared at them with feigned disdain.
Squad Leader Sun was puzzled. They hadn't actually bumped into the woman in front of them. What was with her impatient and resentful expression?
But when he thought that this woman might be a relative of a leader, Squad Leader Sun didn't bother to greet her further.
They took their men to Deputy Division Commander Shen's house.
Shen Jichuan noticed his wife's expression was off and was about to try to comfort her when he hadn't even taken her hand yet.
I heard Squad Leader Sun shout loudly, "Hello, Deputy Division Commander!"
Shen Jichuan immediately put Wen Qiao's hand down.
He then coughed properly.
"Squad Leader Sun, you're here. Go ahead and get busy."
"Yes, sir."
Squad Leader Sun led his men into the room to get busy, and Wen Qiao turned around to follow them.
But Shen Jichuan grabbed her hand.
"Xiao Qiao, don't be angry. Yu Mengxian and I are things of the past."
Wen Qiao said, "I'm not angry. I just find it strange that she only came to find you after so many years. Why didn't she come to find you before? If she had come to find you earlier, maybe you two would be the ones getting married."
"No," Shen Jichuan said, his voice low and seemingly tinged with a hint of unspoken difficulty. "I have no desire for other women."
"Only you. It feels like I owe you something, and I'll spend my whole life working like a slave to repay you."
Upon hearing this, Wen Qiao's eyes showed a hint of disbelief.
Is it true or false?
She didn't quite believe that.
Wen Qiao didn't believe it either; she thought Shen Jichuan was just making up a lame excuse to appease her.
Since I'm going to be husband and wife with Shen Jichuan, I can't always be so serious about some things.
Furthermore, Yu Mengxian has already made her point clearly.
At first, I thought that since Shen Jichuan wasn't married and had come to the Northwest, he must have come with concern.
After arriving, I learned that Shen Jichuan had gotten married, and that I was going to be friends with him again.
Yu Mengxian is a rather scheming person.
Wen Qiao is young after all, and her experiences, whether in her past life or this life, are completely blank.
But perhaps because she has been reborn, she will think more about some things.
Thinking about Yu Mengxian's matter, Wen Qiao felt that there was something fishy about it.
She suddenly remembered that her mother, Lü Yazhi, was still in Beicheng, and was working for a military commander there. Perhaps she could find out some useful information.
It just so happens that she hasn't called her mother since she's been in the Northwest for so long.
I was thinking of calling my mother later to ask her about it.
She didn't mean anything by it; she just wanted her mother to help her find out how much of what Yu Mengxian said was true or false.
Seeing Wen Qiao standing there in a daze, Shen Jichuan asked in a low voice, "Xiao Qiao, don't you believe me?"
Wen Qiao then came to her senses, her face showing a hint of gentleness and shyness.
"What you're saying is hard to answer; I don't know whether to believe it or not."
"However, I did marry you for ulterior motives. I wanted you to treat me well, to give me money, and to help my mother escape her clutches."
After hearing this, Shen Jichuan looked at Wen Qiao with doting eyes.
"Don't be attracted to a man just because he's nice to you. You might be happy when he's nice to you, but what if he turns his back on you one day?"
"They're after his money, but also his social connections."
Wen Qiao looked up at Shen Jichuan.
"You've already given me the money. As for these social connections, could you help me get some books? I'm free anyway, and I want to read more to pass the time."
Shen Jichuan asked, "Are you usually tired? If you are, you don't need to study."
Besides, Wen Qiao is never idle.
