The purpose was probably to help him, as the son-in-law, return to Kyoto.
However, Shen Jichuan did not want his family members to get involved in these work-related matters.
That's why I specifically told Wen Qiao to talk to her mother-in-law.
Wen Qiao had this suspicion in her heart, but she felt that it was wrong to speculate about her mother.
That's overestimating your mother's shrewdness.
But now, hearing Shen Jichuan's words...
Wen Qiao then took the time to talk to her mother about this.
When Lu Yazhi heard her daughter's question, she didn't panic as she used to when her thoughts were seen through.
Instead, she calmly said, "Xiao Qiao, Mom is already this old. Do you really think Mom doesn't want anything from remarrying?"
“I think Commander Wu is a good person. He has a high official position, his family is rich, and he is willing to spend money on me. I worked as a nanny in the Wu family, and I know Commander Wu’s temper. He does have a temper, but he would never hit someone.”
"Mom was thinking that if he could help find connections to get you all back to Beicheng, I would be even happier."
“But I also told him that I’m not going back to Beicheng right now. If he’s willing to wait, we can communicate. If he’s not willing to wait, he can look for me in Beicheng.”
Wen Qiao listened to her mother's words.
Indeed, she told Commander Wu everything clearly; there was no deception involved.
"That's good, at least you didn't deceive Commander Wu. It's just that I feel you accepted the gold lock a little too humbly."
Lu Yazhi said, "Why are you being so humble? It's not for you. He's only willing to spend money to please me because he has ulterior motives. Silly girl, you're still young. Love and affection are the most useless things."
"However, since you and Jichuan have a good relationship, what Mom said may not be true."
"Tell Ji Chuan about this. I just mentioned it casually. I didn't say he had to help. I told him not to feel guilty or overthink it."
Wen Qiao nodded.
“If you didn’t ask Commander Wu for help to threaten him into bringing your son-in-law and daughter back to Beicheng so you could remarry, then there’s nothing wrong with that.”
On the day of the banquet to entertain Commander Wu.
Shen Jichuan specifically summoned several division leaders, including Wang Gang, Deputy Division Commander Sun, Director Xu of the Political Department, and the division staff officers.
Shen Jichuan didn't expect so many people to come.
Some of the leading cadres were not actually called by Shen Jichuan.
They came along because they saw Commander Wu was there.
Besides several leaders, Shen Jichuan's nephew, Shen Xiao, also came.
He said he was leaving soon and wanted to tell his uncle.
Since we're already here, we can't just tell people to leave.
Wen Qiao couldn't manage it all by herself, so she called Li Qin for help.
Li Qin came over to help out.
Li Qin's daughter, Er Ya, and her younger brother came to help take care of the two babies.
The nanny kept an eye on the three children, focusing intently on the youngest. Ah.
Lü Yazhi and Wen Qiao are the head chefs.
Both hot and cold dishes were prepared in abundance.
A whole table laden with chicken, duck, fish, meat sauce, and braised pork hock.
After preparing the meal, Wen Qiao took a break and served a small bowl of fried chicken to Er Ya and her younger brother.
The two children were overjoyed.
Wen Qiao went outside to catch her breath.
He had just taken two steps when he heard footsteps. He turned around and saw that it was Shen Xiao.
"Wen Qiao, don't look down on me like that."
"I just went to see the three babies; they're all adorable. Commissar Wang's wife told me that your little girl has a heart condition?"
Wen Qiao said coldly, "What business is it of yours what my daughter's situation is?"
Shen Xiao frowned, but still patiently said, "Wen Qiao, aren't you being too hostile towards me? I just wanted to tell you that maybe I can help you."
