Wen Jun knew that his mother had already found him a new partner, but he was still somewhat reluctant to part with her.
"Although Cheng Wan is a bit weak, she is still prettier than Qiu Shanshan. I am a grown man, and I also like her gentle and obedient personality."
“Unlike that Qiu Shanshan, she’s not only ugly and not presentable, but her family is also so domineering. I don’t know why she would be interested in me.”
Wen Jun looked distressed and was extremely unwilling to agree to the marriage.
"How about we wait and see? If Cheng Wan isn't affected by this incident and can still have children for me in the future, I won't divorce her."
"Useless."
Cao Tongwen got angry as soon as she heard him say that and scolded him:
"No matter how rich Qiu Shanshan's family is, she is still just a woman. Marrying you is a blessing she couldn't have asked for even if she had a lantern."
"I'm a woman too, and I know who's best for you. Listen to me on this kind of thing, you can't go wrong. You must divorce Cheng Wan!"
Speaking of Cheng Wan, she still had a lot of complaints.
“I always thought Cheng Wan wasn’t good enough for you, and now I see it’s true! If I had known she was so useless, unable to even have a child, I would have told you to kick her to the curb a long time ago.”
"Now look what's happened. Not only did Cheng Wan make us waste so much time, but she also miscarried. I just asked her around, but the doctor just wouldn't tell me anything, which means it's most likely that the one who died was a girl."
Cao Tongwen was deeply convinced by her own guess and even felt somewhat relieved that Cheng Wan had miscarried.
"This kind of child is a money-loser. Maybe Cheng Wan's miscarriage was God's way of taking pity on us and not wanting us to spend money, so it was a blessing that He gave us."
Wen Jun was in a mess of emotions and shook his head silently, clearly not wanting to talk. Cao Tongwen finally shut her mouth.

On the way home, Shen Zhihuan stared blankly at the scenery outside the window, feeling a little worried about Cheng Xiangling and the others.
Xie Lanshen saw through her thoughts and comforted her in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, Ms. Cheng's case involves domestic violence and criminal offenses, which has a very bad impact. I will pay more attention to it."
"Mom thought the same way as you, and she specifically reminded me before I left. It just so happens that I have a childhood friend named Guo Bin who works in the police force. After I take you home, I'll go to him and ask him to handle this matter carefully."
Xie Lanshen's deep voice was calm and steady, carrying a soothing power.
He didn't think that Shen Zhihuan was being nosy by worrying about other people's family affairs; on the contrary, he was very understanding of her feelings.
He has already considered a solution to her problem.
The solutions presented to her in a clear and organized manner made her feel very reliable.
Shen Zhihuan instantly felt much more at ease and then smiled.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
The taxi kept moving forward, and the bright sunlight shone through the window onto her head, making her beautiful eyes sparkle.
Even though she only slightly curved her lips, the smile on her face looked so lively and graceful.
While Xie Lanshen was stunned, he couldn't help but recall the particularly strange dream he had had before.
His first encounter with Shen Zhihuan was nearly ten years ago, at the scene of a fire caused by an explosion.
He was ordered to lead a team to carry out a mission, where he encountered Shen Zhihuan, who was stunned in the fire. He pulled her out of the fire and rescued her.
At the time, it was just a fleeting glimpse, but little did they expect that they would have the chance to meet again many years later.
She saved his life and became his fiancée.
Soon they will be able to get engaged, register their marriage, and become a real couple.
This seemingly predestined fate is quite wonderful. Every time Xie Lanshen thinks of this, he can't help but smile.
He was absolutely certain that he and Shen Zhihuan had never met during the time they were apart.
But somehow, he dreamed of her last time, someone he had never met before.
Unlike her former naive self, and unlike her current graceful and elegant self.
She stood alone in the martyrs' memorial hall, still looking at that old black and white photograph.
This time, Xie Lanshen finally saw clearly the People's Liberation Army soldiers who had sacrificed their lives in the photograph—
It was himself, and his comrades-in-arms whom he knew best.
From the moment he took the oath of enlistment, Xie Lanshen was prepared to sacrifice himself.
Seeing this scene, he wasn't particularly surprised; it was as if he had anticipated the ending long ago.
He just didn't know why he dreamed of such a scene.
Why is it that Shen Zhihuan comes here to see him so often?
Then, the scene changed to ruins.
He was seriously injured while protecting the people, but he insisted on waiting until the people were taken away to the hospital first.
The girl with the dirty face waved to him from the stretcher and smiled.
He held on until they left, then collapsed to his knees, utterly exhausted.
What landed beside him at that time was a talisman with the word "peace" embroidered in gold thread.
The dream was so bizarre that Xie Lanshen still remembered it vividly several days later.
At that moment, the girl waving and smiling at him in his dream overlapped with the image of Shen Zhihuan in front of him.
Xie Lanshen's expression instantly turned serious, and he felt a pang of self-reproach.
I feel that I shouldn't dream about Shen Zhihuan being in danger every time I have a dream related to her, because it's really offensive to her.
Although Xie Lanshen had never been in a relationship before.
