Chapter 53 She is my carefully selected daughter-in-law
When Father Chu heard this, he was delighted and pointed at Chu Huaijing: "Do you have someone you like?"
Chu Huaijing was so frightened that his heart jumped, and he quickly denied it: "No...no."
However, Chu's father felt that there was something fishy about his son's hesitant expression. It seemed that the pig in his family had taken a fancy to someone's cabbage.
I don't know whose girl that is.
Chu Huaijing didn't dare to stay with his talkative father any longer. He quickly made an excuse that he was busy and hurriedly left the ward.
In the laboratory, Ji Nan saw Cheng Qian coming back. He asked with concern, "You've been gone for so long, your husband won't have any objections, right? By the way, you have a baby who just got weaned, am I being too strict with you?"
Hearing this, Cheng Qian pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, Uncle Ji, I have arranged everything at home."
"Xiao Qian, Uncle Ji is also a man. From a man's perspective, it is indeed not conducive to the cultivation of feelings for a couple to live apart frequently." Ji Nan was really worried that Cheng Qian's small family would be affected.
Cheng Qian heard his worry and her eyes darkened. There was no longer any relationship between her and Li Zhinan that needed to be cultivated.
"Uncle Ji, he knows the nature of my job and won't mind." Cheng Qian didn't choose such an important time to talk about things that were not related to work.
Ji Nan still saw the clue.
He had suggested several times that he wanted to treat the young couple to a simple meal, and he also wanted to see what Cheng Qian's child looked like.
But every time she proposed something, she avoided the main point and changed the subject.
Ji Nan couldn't help but feel doubtful.
"Xiao Qian, work is important, but you also have to take care of your family. Do you still treat Uncle Ji as an outsider?" Ji Nan sighed softly, feeling a little lost.
Cheng Qian hurriedly explained: "No, Uncle Ji is my elder, I never treat you as an outsider."
"In that case, tell Uncle Ji a few words of truth."
Cheng Qian knew she couldn't be vague anymore, so she said bitterly, "Uncle Ji, it's not that I don't want him to meet you, it's mainly because... we are planning to divorce recently."
When Ji Nan heard this, his expression became serious: "Are you getting a divorce?"
Cheng Qian nodded and said casually, "We are not compatible in personality. Divorce is good for both of us."
Ji Nan looked at her distressedly: "You are really good at hiding things, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Cheng Qian said helplessly: "Divorce is not a glorious thing, so if you can hide it, then hide it."
Ji Nan didn't want to touch her pain point anymore, so he could only comfort her softly: "Okay, in that case, Uncle Ji, please meet him again when you have the chance."
Cheng Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she didn't have to hide this matter anymore.
Mr. Chu's identity is extremely important to the stability of the country. His serious illness will not be made public, and the research institutes have also signed a confidentiality agreement.
Therefore, even if Cheng Qian has achieved a breakthrough, it will not be made public immediately, but she and the Seed Research Institute will be able to obtain a huge amount of research funds from it.
After a regular meeting, Ji Nan remembered something important.
He left Cheng Qian alone and invited Chu Huaijing.
"Xiao Qian, I remember you said last time that there was an important experiment that urgently needed a research site. I talked to Mr. Chu about it. Some of the instruments in our laboratory have not yet returned to the country, and it will take some time to assemble them. So, I asked Mr. Chu to let you stay here temporarily to do research, and Mr. Chu agreed." Ji Nan said.
Cheng Qian's eyes lit up and she looked at Chu Huaijing: "Is it true, Mr. Chu?"
Chu Huaijing was suddenly stared at by a pair of eyes as bright as stars. He was distracted for a moment. The next second, he smiled gently and said, "If you need to stay here to do research, I can apply for a place for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Chu. This matter is very important to me." Cheng Qian's voice was a little excited.
A year was too short, and now more than two months had passed, leaving her with even less time.
Ji Nan smiled and said, "Then you two can talk alone. I'll go back to the lab first."
Although Ji Nan is old, he has a good eye for people.
Xiao Qian and her husband are about to divorce, and Mr. Chu seems to be looking at her in a strange way.
If Xiao Qian can meet such an outstanding man again after her divorce, then he can give an explanation to his senior brothers and sisters.
Ji Nan decided to do it secretly and act as a matchmaker first.
In the conference room, Chu Huaijing noticed that Cheng Qian looked serious, so he asked with concern, "What's going on? Can I help?"
Cheng Qian shook her head: "No, just lend me the lab."
Chu Huaijing didn't know much about scientific research, so he probably couldn't be of much help.
"Leave the laboratory matters to me. If you need to deploy personnel, I can also arrange it." Chu Huaijing's voice was gentle, polite and generous.
"Thank you, Mr. Chu." Cheng Qian was really grateful.
But when she thought that he was Li Zhinan's good friend, Cheng Qian couldn't reveal more to him.
Chu Huaijing looked at the beautiful and resolute woman in front of him. He suddenly said, "Do you know much about Zhinan's affairs?"
Cheng Qian was stunned. In all these years of marriage, she had barely even entered the Li Group headquarters building a few times. To be honest, she knew very little about him.
"Why do you ask?" Cheng Qian was surprised.
Chu Huaijing just smiled faintly and said: "Nothing, I just think that since you are husband and wife, you should know him very well."
Cheng Qian tidied the hair beside her ears awkwardly. In the eyes of outsiders, a couple should know each other very well.
But she only knew the tip of the iceberg about Li Zhinan.
"Some couples may not be very familiar with each other." Cheng Qian said bitterly and self-deprecatingly: "Mr. Chu has been with him for many years, so he must know something about it."
Chu Huaijing nodded: "Yes, I only found out about your existence after you had been married for a year and a half. I was quite surprised at that time."
Cheng Qian immediately changed the subject: "Mr. Chu, the Vice President's condition should gradually improve. The day after tomorrow, the people from the Seed Research Institute will leave."
Chu Huaijing's handsome face was stunned. She deliberately changed the subject, probably because she didn't want to talk anymore.
Chu Huaijing's dark eyes became deep, and his voice was gentle: "Okay!"
Mr. Chu's condition is getting better day by day, and his frail body is gradually regaining vitality. After recovering from a serious illness, he has a lot of work to deal with. As a drug developer, Cheng Qian also stays here to cooperate with the attending physician in follow-up consultations.
It was a closed research before, but now Cheng Qian can enter and leave the military hospital freely and go home to rest at night.
Upon learning that Cheng Qian was coming home, her mother-in-law Jiang Meng immediately arranged a family dinner.
Cheng Qian said on the phone that she came with her son, not with Li Zhinan.
Jiang Meng was secretly anxious when she saw how coldly the couple was getting along with each other.
Xia Mengjiao also seemed to feel that there was a problem in the marriage between her elder brother and sister-in-law.
She secretly went upstairs to talk to Jiang Meng about this matter.
"Mom, why didn't my brother come back with my sister-in-law?" Xia Mengjiao asked with concern.
Jiang Meng always knew that her second daughter-in-law was jealous, and she rarely showed favoritism to Cheng Qian in front of her.
At this moment, she said calmly: "Zhi Nan is busy with work, so it's normal that he didn't come back with me."
"What's normal about that?" Xia Mengjiao muttered softly.
Jiang Meng's face darkened and he stared at her seriously.
Xia Mengjiao was so scared that she quickly smiled and explained, "Mom, don't misunderstand me. I don't mean anything else. I'm just worried about my eldest brother and his wife's marriage. Please don't let anything go wrong."
"Why are you suddenly so concerned about your sister-in-law?" Jiang Meng seemed gentle, but she was still the mistress of the family, and she had to make the decisions on all matters, big or small.
Xia Mengjiao knew that her mother-in-law never liked to see her and her sister-in-law arguing, so she smiled and said, "Mom, I really don't mean any harm. My sister-in-law is a very nice person."
Jiang Meng nodded: "Xiao Qian is like her mother, with good character and a kind heart. She is the daughter-in-law I carefully selected, so of course she is good."
When Xia Mengjiao heard this, her eyes widened instantly.
Carefully selected?
