Chu Nian: "Don't worry, even if it's true, I'm not interested in you. Since you're going to be my best friend, then you can fend off those annoying suitors for me!" After saying that, she turned to Martha and smiled.
Martha breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's true, a princess like you will definitely find love and marriage..."
"I'm not a princess, I'm just a woman," Chu Nian interrupted her helplessly.
Martha quickly nodded and said, "Yes, you are a woman. With your family background, your marriage and romantic partners will definitely be decided by the brigade commander and the general..."
Chu Nian: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll go tell the brigade commander and the general that you're my 'girlfriend' and I want to 'marry' you!"
Martha's legs went weak with fright, and she leaned against the elevator wall, her lips turning purple. She quickly said, "I won't say anything more, okay?"
Chu Nian noticed that the elevator didn't stop at the fifth floor, but continued to go up. When she looked up again, she saw that the floor indicator light for the 27th floor was on.
She asked in bewilderment, "Why didn't it stop when I pressed the fifth floor? Who pressed the 27th floor?" She turned to look at Martha: she clearly remembered that Martha hadn't pressed any floor!
“It wasn’t me,” Martha said.
Just then, a woman's voice came from the top of the elevator: "Wang Nian, come to my office after you get off the elevator!"
Martha exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, this woman's voice is so powerful, who is she?"
Chu Nian: "Wang Si."
“Wang Si?” Martha said with a smile. “As expected of the Captain’s wife, the youngest general in our Galaxy Squad, she can be so domineering with just a casual remark. She’s so cool.”
Chu Nian chuckled softly, remaining silent. This Martha thinks she can cling to Wang Si just because she's Wang Si's sister? She's so wrong. What kind of schemes is her older sister plotting against her?!
Although the original owner did not harbor hatred towards Wang Si because Wang Si stole the spiritual power she carried from her mother's womb at birth, causing her talent for spiritual power cultivation to be far inferior to that of her first life, this did not mean that Chu Nian had a good impression of this Wang Si.
The elevator stopped, and Chu Nian got off and walked straight to General Wang Si's office, which was in the original owner's memory.
Martha followed closely until Chu Nian stopped in front of the office door and knocked twice; she whispered, "I'll wait for you outside."
Wang Si's voice called "Come in" could be heard from inside. Chu Nian pushed open the door and went in. Then, she stood at attention and saluted the young and bright girl sitting behind the desk.
Wang Si pointed to the chair opposite him and said, "Sit down!"
Chu Nian sat down, straightening her back as if she were a team member reporting for duty or discussing business.
Wang Si looked her over for a while and said, "From now on, don't talk nonsense to others during work hours and at work."
Chu Nian: "Which aspect are you referring to, General?" She paused, then added, "I've already instructed that woman outside not to tell anyone about our affair." This relationship wasn't something she revealed.
Wang Si said with a hint of helplessness, "I was referring to your sexual orientation."
"Oh," Chu Nian said, "I understand."
Wang Si paused for a moment, then said, "You might think that your father hasn't contacted you all these years, but actually he's been secretly watching over you all along. It's just that your mother has been preventing him from contacting you..."
Chu Nian interrupted her, saying, "You really don't need to say anything more about this matter, and I don't think you need to get involved in it either."
Wang Si said softly, "I... just feel sorry for him."
Chu Nian: "Really?" But why did she feel that Wang Si sounded a little resentful when she brought this up, as if she was afraid that she would steal her father's love?
She was speechless, only feeling that Wang Si and Wang Nian were both victims of this divorced family, especially their mother Yao Lin, whose attitude towards her daughters was very materialistic, which destined the children in this family to be unhappy.
Chu Nian said, "I will have no relationship with Wang Xiao."
Wang Si: "You're still blaming him."
Chu Nian: "No. I don't want to get too close to anyone. Managing these relationships is too much trouble, and I don't want to bother with it. Do you understand what I mean?" To be precise, she didn't want to have any emotional entanglements with anyone, no matter what kind of relationship: emotions are really troublesome!
Wang Si stared at her for a while and asked, "Then, what about Yao Lin?" Yao Lin was also her mother, but she hadn't called that woman "Mom" for a long time. In fact, she hadn't called that woman "Mom" since her rebirth.
Chu Nian said with a hint of helplessness, "After all, she raised me and provided for me through nearly a hundred years of peaceful and stable life at school..."
She was truly helpless when she brought this up. Yao Lin had placed all her ideals and hopes on this daughter of the original owner, hoping that this daughter would get promoted, become rich, and live a good life in her later years.
It has to be said that even though Chu Nian knew that Yao Lin was not a very good mother, he could not ignore the debt of gratitude he owed her for raising him.
She said, "I will make sure she lives a comfortable and worry-free life."
Wang Si chuckled and said, "I'm afraid she wants more than just wealth and a carefree life!"
Yao Lin is a very ambitious woman, but she herself is not very capable and has poor mental strength. Wang Si was puzzled before that such a mother could have two daughters with excellent mental strength. Later, when Wang Xiao's true identity was revealed, he was the lost child of the Wang family, the number one family in mental strength. Only then did Wang Si understand that she and Wang Nian's mental strength talents were inherited from Wang Xiao.
However, Wang Xiao's spiritual power had never awakened, leading people to believe he was incapable of cultivating it. After Yao Lin gave birth to their two children, his career showed no improvement, so she divorced him. After the divorce, Yao Lin even forbade Wang Xiao from seeing Wang Nian, fearing he would negatively impact Wang Nian's future.
Wang Nian was a well-behaved child. Yao Lin said she didn't want her to associate with Wang Xiao, so she really never mentioned missing her father again. Moreover, in the original owner's memories, Wang Xiao had never appeared in her life for ninety-five years after her parents' divorce. Her childhood memories of her father had faded to the point of being almost imperceptible.
"Whatever she wants, all I can give her is what's within my power." Chu Nian said, standing up. "If the general summoned me just to discuss these matters, then this is my stance on them."
Wang Sidao said, "Dad means he hopes to transfer you to some clerical position. What do you think?"
Chu Nian: "I don't like clerical jobs." Although there is no danger, they are both boring and poorly paid.
Wang Si nodded and said, "I understand. You can go now."
Chu Nian gave a crisp military salute, then turned and left.
