She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 947: Chapter 997: Being Watched

“This is my daughter-in-law.” Zhao Lanzi spoke with immense pride.

“A daughter-in-law can be this good? Truly unexpected.” The middle-aged lady was astonished, “I’ve lived this long and never seen a mother-in-law get along so well with her daughter-in-law.”

“My daughter-in-law is very filial.”

“Is she willing to have children? I’ve heard that comrades, especially female comrades, tend to have children quite late.” The middle-aged lady still found it hard to believe what she was seeing and voiced her doubts.

She suspected that perhaps this was just a facade, and who knows what was really going on. Bringing up a sore point might just break the mother-in-law’s composure.

“Of course! My daughter-in-law has already taken a six-month leave to prepare for pregnancy in advance.”

“What does ‘prepare for pregnancy in advance’ mean?”

“That’s what my daughter-in-law calls it—getting ready for pregnancy ahead of time and conditioning the body to its healthiest state. That way, a smart and healthy baby can be born.”

“You city folk have so many tricks up your sleeves.”

“I’m from the countryside, not the city.”

“I’ve really learned something today. You must have been a great person in your past life, building bridges and paving roads, to have such good fortune now.”

Zhao Lanzi nodded in deep agreement.

The train started and gradually disappeared from view, while Sheng Ning stood on the platform, watching until a comrade on duty came by to disperse people, and only then did she reluctantly leave.

Even though she hadn’t been part of the Xu family for long, her father-in-law and mother-in-law were already the most honorable parents to her.

Outside the platform, Liu Yilan and others were waiting for her in the waiting hall. They had agreed to help drive away An’an’s bad luck today. They also planned to introduce An’an to everyone, as previously discussed at the August 1 Hospital.

“Sister-in-law!” A hearty voice called from afar.

Sheng Ning turned around and unexpectedly ran into Zhao Changqi again.

Today, Zhao Changqi was dressed in a dignified and handsome police uniform, with the Criminal Police Captain’s epaulets particularly striking.

“Sister-in-law, did you come to see off Uncle and Aunt?”

“Yeah!”

“Where are they? I didn’t even get a chance to say hi.”

“They’ve already taken the train and left.”

Zhao Changqi slapped his forehead and said regretfully, “Look at my luck—missed them last time because I was in a hurry, and missed them again this time.”

“It’s okay, you’ll see them eventually.”

“Don’t let us interrupt your work, we’re heading out.”

“Take care, sister-in-law.”

Zhao Changqi stood in place, watching a group of beautiful young ladies leave, and the two people following them stared wide-eyed in admiration.

“As expected of our General Union Song and Dance Troupe—all the girls are such beauties. Whoever gets to marry one of them should definitely treat her like a queen.”

“Dream on if you think you can marry a lady from the General Union Song and Dance Troupe!”

“Why is it a dream? If sister-in-law introduces us, who knows, we might just have a chance.”

“That’s my sister-in-law, what does that have to do with you two?” Zhao Changqi glared at them.

“Yes, yes, we wouldn’t dare dream of the chance to be brothers with the Living Yama.”

Perhaps even Xu Qigang himself didn’t know that his reputation extended beyond just the rescue world. He was equally famous in the criminal investigation and law enforcement circles, especially among the criminal police and SWAT teams, where many, like Zhao Changqi, transitioned from reconnaissance roles after retiring.

“Captain, you caught a hooligan who was harassing your sister-in-law last time, and he’s still in detention. When are you planning to let him out?”

If his subordinate hadn’t mentioned it, Zhao Changqi would have long forgotten about it.

“Come on, let’s go have a look.” Zhao Changqi led the group out, but suddenly stopped halfway.
