Chapter 2659 - 2652: Sowing Discord

"My father is the chief of staff at the military headquarters," Qiu Xinyi said proudly.

"A big leader," Ji Shuanglin interjected.

"Sort of," Qiu Xinyi lowered her head and laughed, "He’s a person who truly appreciates talent. He really admires Ji Chuan and hopes to move around more with him. He thinks Ji Chuan is talented and wants to help him climb higher, but Ji Chuan’s ambitions lie elsewhere."

"He’s loved medicine since a young age. Just let him do surgeries and he’s happy," Ji Shuanglin understood his son well.

"Yes, I really admire that about him. His mind is very simple, fully focused on his beloved career, without much care for power and fame..." Qiu Xinyi praised Ji Chuan endlessly.

"Thank you for speaking so highly of him. To have someone as understanding as you as a friend is a blessing for Ji Chuan!" Meng Qingmei thought Qiu Xinyi was quite nice and had a good initial impression of her.

"Thank you for the compliment, auntie," Qiu Xinyi pursed her lips, her eyes filled with laughter.

"I heard you’re being transferred? You won’t be with Ji Chuan and Yan Huan in the future?" Since it was just casual chat, Ji Shuanglin asked casually.

"Yes," Qiu Xinyi was full of loss when she mentioned this matter, "I also don’t want to leave Nancheng, but there’s no choice, it’s a work requirement! I’m a soldier, I have to obey transfers!"

"Will Yan Huan also be transferred in the future?" Meng Qingmei asked.

"Probably not," Qiu Xinyi discreetly laid a trap for Yan Huan, "Before Yan Huan met Ji Chuan, she had a fling with our commander. Our commander is very handsome and sentimental! He still takes good care of Yan Huan. Yan Huan is bighearted and her family lives very close to the commander’s. They used to eat together often. Our commander has her covered, so there’s absolutely no need to worry."

"Your commander...?" Meng Qingmei didn’t expect Yan Huan to have relations with their commander, and it sounded quite deep.

"Yes, our commander! He’s a very charming man! Generally, women can’t resist his charm."

"Oh..." Meng Qingmei let out a meaningful sound, and then there was no follow-up.

The taxi went quiet.

In the darkness, Qiu Xinyi smiled contentedly. She knew Meng Qingmei was troubled; anyone would feel uneasy hearing their daughter-in-law has deep ties with another man, right?

.........

Yan Huan forced her eyes open and looked at her watch; it was already eight o’clock at night.

The comrades at the dinner were almost done drinking, the dinner had reached its end. It was time for her to leave; at home, Ji Chuan needed care and she couldn’t just leave Ji Chuan unattended.

"Xiaomei, take me home," Yan Huan stood up shakily, feeling a bit dizzy and the alcohol in her stomach churned, making her want to vomit.

"Yan Jie, it’s so late, why not sleep at the dormitory? You’ve had too much to drink, tonight will you be taking care of Doctor Ji, or will Doctor Ji be taking care of you?" Tan Xiaomei watched Yan Huan worriedly.

"Now you realize? But what were you doing earlier urging me to drink?" Yan Huan glared at Tan Xiaomei.

"I know, I was wrong. At the time, I forgot about Doctor Ji." Tan Xiaomei said sheepishly.

"No, I have to go back. I must go back!" Yan Huan had called Yan Ye before dinner; worried Ji Chuan wouldn’t get his meal, she specifically asked Yan Ye to help take care of Ji Chuan.
