Chapter 95 Qi Jingchuan's Backing
At first, Wang Lijuan didn't understand the deeper meaning of Cen Yan's words, but after realizing it later, her face turned green.
Cen Yan is implying that she's a saint, generous with other people's money!
"Xiao Cen, how can you talk like that? I'm still your teacher's wife. You should at least give me some face. Your teacher's wife has already begged you. Can't you just show some mercy? Manman has been detained. How will she face people if word gets out?"
Cen Yan frowned and looked at Wang Lijuan. She thought that someone who could so readily send Wang Manman back to the production team and prevent her from staying in the family compound and causing trouble for others was at least not so clueless.
Now it seems she might have been overthinking things.
“Teacher’s wife, it’s not that I’m unwilling to be lenient, but I don’t want this kind of trouble to happen a third time. Unless you can give me some reassurance and absolutely guarantee that Comrade Wang Manman won’t cause any trouble in front of me.”
"Otherwise, if she had grabbed my collar and caused trouble at work today, who knows if she would have held a grudge and tried to stab me in the back after we got out!"
When Wang Lijuan heard Cen Yan say that, she was completely unsure of what to do.
"Are you asking me for money?"
"Money? Madam, you know my background. Money isn't really that important to me. Fine! Since you've already lowered yourself so much, for the sake of Jingchuan and the political commissar, there's no point in me continuing to hold a grudge."
"Go to Wang Manman and write a guarantee that you will never appear in front of me and Qi Jingchuan again. If you do, I will use this guarantee to settle all old and new scores."
"I won't allow it."
As soon as Cen Yan finished stating her conditions, the previously tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open forcefully.
A man in a military uniform strode in with a stern face.
His military boots were still covered in thick sea mud, and he looked travel-worn. His gaze was as sharp as a falcon's, directly interrupting Cen Yan's "compromise".
"Why are you back?" Cen Yan was a little dumbfounded when she saw Qi Jingchuan. Wasn't this man out on business? It's only been a few days, and her carefree days of living alone have come to an abrupt end?
Qi Jingchuan gave an irrelevant answer, staring intently into Cen Yan's eyes.
“My wife, Qi Jingchuan’s wife, does not need to make any compromises! If she is treated unfairly, she should take up the law as a weapon to defend her rights. Madam, what law did Comrade Wang Manman break? She should be punished by law. You’d better not take advantage of my absence to bully my husband.”
"When did I bully Xiao Cen? I came here today only because Manman offended her. I came here specifically to apologize on Manman's behalf and hope she will be lenient and not bully anyone!"
Wang Lijuan was anxious. If she had known that Qi Jingchuan was returning from the sea today, she would never have gone to his house, because if Qi Jingchuan was back, her husband, Lao Lu, would definitely be back too.
She might already know about Manman's shameful deeds and be furious at home, making it difficult for her to handle the situation.
Qi Jingchuan remained composed and assertive: "Did Wang Manman deliberately bump into my wife, or was it an accident? Regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional, she is quite old and should bear the consequences of her actions."
“Madam, please go back. My wife would never write a letter of forgiveness.”
"We, as a couple, will never forgive what Wang Manman did to my wife!"
In other matters, Qi Jingchuan could turn a blind eye and give Political Commissar Lu and Wang Lijuan some face.
There is no room for discussion regarding Cen Yan's matter.
