Wen Qiao only found out about the Wu family's dinner gathering after they confirmed that all the attendees would be there.
When she found out, it was too late for her to contact her mother, Ms. Lü Yazhi, privately.
Wen Qiao had no choice but to go to the restaurant with Shen Jichuan from their residence.
When they arrived, Lü Yazhi had not yet appeared; only Wu Yongliang and his three siblings, and even Wu Yongliang's daughter-in-law Li Sumei, were present.
When Wu Yongliang saw Wen Qiao, his eyes were filled with the joy and excitement of wanting to be Wen Qiao's father.
Wen Qiao immediately saw through Wu Yongliang's intentions.
What struck her as odd was that if her mother, Lü Yazhi, were to actually marry Commander Wu, she would have surely told her beforehand.
Her mother didn't even discuss this with her.
Wen Qiao felt that her mother would not marry Wu Yongliang.
But the joy on Wu Yongliang's face made Wen Qiao feel as if Wu Yongliang could really marry her mother.
Noticing that Wen Qiao was daydreaming, Shen Jichuan reached out and gently patted her arm.
"Xiao Qiao, Commander Wu is calling you."
Wen Qiao hummed in response, giving a curt and indifferent greeting.
"Hello, Uncle Wu. You said on the phone that you would send someone to pick up my mother, but why isn't she here?"
The people sitting in the private room heard the sound from the doorway and immediately looked up.
Wen Qiao had visited the Wu family, and Wu Jiandong immediately recognized the young woman who was talking to his father as Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao's appearance hasn't changed much, but she looks a bit fairer than before, and her pregnant belly is quite obvious.
When you glance at her beautiful face, you're immediately drawn to her belly.
Li Sumei was sitting outside Wu Jiandong's room.
She had a better view; she could see not only Wen Qiao but also the man beside her.
She whispered a few words to her husband.
"Who is that man next to Wen Qiao? He looks familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before?"
"Really? Let me see!"
Before Wu Jiandong could look, he heard Wu Xiaoli suddenly push the tableware on the table, making a loud, jarring sound.
"Who is Wen Qiao? What do you want with us here today?"
Wu Xiaoling, who was next to Wu Xiaoli, glanced at the people around her.
"Sister, don't worry. Dad called us all here, he must have something to say. Let's listen to him first."
Wu Xiaoli is 25 years old this year.
Because she didn't do well in school, she dropped out early and spent a few years in the countryside, where she soon got married.
Later, Wu Xiaoli couldn't bear the hard life in the countryside and ran back to the city.
Her whole family opposed her going to the countryside, but she insisted on going.
She even said that if her parents dared to stop her, she would report them for obstructing socialist construction.
Wu Yongliang was so angry that he didn't go home for three months.
But later, Wu Xiaoli couldn't make it work and abandoned her husband and children to return to the city.
It was Wu Yongliang who used his connections to settle things in the countryside and arrange a job for her in the city.
It cost a lot of money.
Wu Xiaoli's mother became pregnant less than a year after giving birth to Wu Xiaoli. As a doctor, Wu's mother originally wanted to abort the second child.
But after a hospital check-up, they said she couldn't have an abortion and that it was life-threatening.
She had no choice but to give birth, but giving birth to her youngest daughter damaged her health.
What happened next was that her good health was ruined by breastfeeding and lack of rest after giving birth.
