Director Li returned home looking displeased, while Wang Yueju was still at get off work.
The children who were on winter vacation all went out to play, leaving only Yu Mengxian in the room.
Hearing a sound coming from the living room, Yu Mengxian came out of the house.
"Brother Li, why are you so angry?"
"Please sit down and have a cup of tea. This tea is black tea that I brought back from abroad. It's very fragrant. Try it."
Director Li's angry expression softened when he saw the gentle and considerate Yu Mengxian.
"Miss Yu, I'm afraid I can't go to Beicheng with you as I promised. I'm too busy here, and I simply can't leave."
Yu Mengxian knew that what she had done had offended Shen Jichuan.
She thought Shen Jichuan was just saying a few words to her.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jichuan actually had someone investigate her in Shanghai.
Yu Mengxian claimed to be a diplomat, but in reality, she had only taken the diplomat exam and had not yet received confirmation of her selection. She was impatient and came to the Northwest from Beicheng.
Yu Mengxian thought that with her excellent foreign language skills, it was impossible not to hire her.
Therefore, he was very confident that he was already a diplomat.
But there always needs to be a backup plan.
It's probably impossible for her to get rid of Wen Qiao and marry Shen Jichuan now.
But now she is indeed all alone in China, and she came to the Northwest as soon as she returned to the country.
She tried so hard to be with Shen Jichuan, but he only cared about that damned Wen Qiao.
Just because Wen Qiao is pregnant, and pregnant with triplets?
She's carrying quite a lot; whether she can give birth to them is another matter entirely.
Since she couldn't handle Shen Jichuan, Yu Mengxian wanted to find a backer, at least to use someone else until she found another one.
Director Li of the Northwest Military Region Division Headquarters is, after all, a division-level leader.
With him around, even if Shen Jichuan finds something wrong with her, he can't punish her.
Thinking of this, Yu Mengxian suppressed the nausea in her heart.
Looking at the short man in front of me, who was in his forties.
Even in military uniform, he still looked unremarkable and ordinary.
Compared to Shen Jichuan's tall, imposing, and handsome appearance, he was like a contrast between Wu Dalang and Wu Song.
Yu Mengxian looked down on Director Li.
But now she has to make use of Director Li.
They could only suppress their disgust and loathing, and speak comforting words with a gentle laugh.
"Brother Li, it's alright. I'll come back with you when you're not busy."
"During my stay at your home, Brother Li, I have truly felt the warmth and kindness of your whole family. However, Brother Li, the environment in the Northwest is really harsh."
"If you get transferred to Beicheng in the future, you'll know how great Beicheng is now."
Director Li chuckled. "Beicheng is the capital, it's not a place I can go to whenever I want. But I did go to Beicheng when I was young, it was with a group of young cadres to learn from them."
The two of them were having a very pleasant conversation.
When Wang Yueju returned from get off work, she saw Yu Mengxian and Director Li sitting together.
They were chatting and laughing, with tea and peanuts in front of them.
Director Li is very strict about the things in the house.
Wang Yueju has to ask her husband before she can eat peanuts or similar foods.
Unexpectedly, her husband sat down with Yu Mengxian and ate such a large plate of peanuts, while also drinking tea and chatting.
Even though Wang Yueju was a bit dim-witted, seeing this scene still made her feel uncomfortable.
"Yu, you said you were going home after the New Year. You've been in the Northwest for so long, aren't you planning to go home yet?"
