After her death, Su Di discovered she was living inside a book where the female protagonist became wealthy and successful in the past era.
Unfortunately, she wasn't the female protagonist...
“Su girl, I’m sure I’m right that Qin Lie is cunning. He came to apologize in a big way today with gifts.”
“He didn’t mention your life-saving story, but he implied that his family was already looking for a partner for his sister and that she would be married off soon.”
"He either truly remembers your kindness and is sincere, or he's afraid to go against our family and is using this incident to back down."
"I had no choice but to accept it in front of so many people. That man is a fox, and you should stay far away from him in the future."
Qi Feng was furious when he saw these things.
"Dad, did he come to see you?" Suti hadn't expected this man to be so cunning.
"Yes, I was waiting there all morning, knowing I wouldn't have a falling out with him." If he hadn't heard the two kids talk about that, Qi Feng would have just dealt with him.
But now it seems this person is quite clever; he must have guessed that the two children told him about it.
Now he's bringing this up, using the life-saving matter as an excuse to make a fuss; who knows what he's really planning behind the scenes.
Previously, for no apparent reason, the relationship between the Qin family girl and Wei Bowen did not materialize, so they had little opportunity to interact.
Now, using this as an excuse, it's impossible to shake off the accusation.
"Dad, whatever he means, as long as he doesn't target us, that's fine." In Su Ti's words, Qin Lie isn't stupid.
If he really wanted to avenge his sister, he would have done it already. Now that so much time has passed, isn't it a bit too late to take revenge after they've already done so?
Besides, the higher a person's position, the more they cherish their reputation. Even if no one knows that they saved him back then, he doesn't care about it.
But once a person is in a weak position, he can't be tough. Su Ti just needs to make sure that the Li family has no other grudges against him.
"The things he said today weren't meant to stand up for his sister; I think he just wanted to make me uncomfortable."
Qi Feng could tell that he still had a hint of trying to please him, but it was too stiff, and who knew what he was really thinking.
The more he looked at it, the more something seemed off. It was no wonder that Qi Feng would give him a friendly look. In the end, he reluctantly accepted the gift.
"Dad, if he really wants to, he'll come back in a few days." Su Ti thought that if he truly wanted to thank him for saving his life, he would definitely come back.
If he wants to avenge his sister, he'll use this incident as an excuse to come to her door. Instead of trying to figure out what he's thinking, it's better to just explain things clearly when the time comes.
Suti found it strange that her father was like this; she knew her father-in-law quite well.
She has always been the type to plan everything carefully, and even with a major event like divorce, she can get over it quickly.
She had never seen him so agitated. Su Ti had a new understanding of Qin Lie's abilities; it was rare to see her father-in-law so angry.
The return visit to the bride's parents' home went smoothly, and the Guo family members stood by the car, holding Su Ti's hand, clearly reluctant to part.
"My dear daughter, take good care of yourself here. I'll come to see you whenever I have time." Looking at her precious daughter, Guo Xuqing truly realized that her daughter was about to leave home.
She's really married now, so from now on she'll refer to her parents' home when she goes back.
"Okay, you must come to see me after I give birth." Su Ti didn't mention that she would go back when she had time. As her belly grew bigger, she knew they definitely wouldn't let her go back.
"Okay, Mom will definitely come then." No matter how reluctant Guo Xuqing was, there was nothing she could do. As long as her daughter was happy, that was more important than anything else.
"Darling, Grandma will hand over her work when she gets back and will be here with you soon, so don't be afraid." Grandma Guo looked at her granddaughter with great concern.
After the initial joy of having twins, all that remained was worry. Women understand women best; since ancient times, childbirth has always been a struggle between mother and child.
She was worried about one, let alone two, and there was no one she could rely on in the Li family.
“Okay, Grandma, I’ll be waiting for you.” Suti knew that her grandma cared about her, and she also wanted her grandma to come over soon.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid; in her past life, she was so busy causing trouble that she ended up giving birth without really understanding what was going on.
This time, she felt like she was having a second child. She didn't know what it felt like before she had the experience. She was extremely brave.
Having given birth before and gained experience, just thinking back to that feeling makes her legs go weak.
"You better take good care of my sister, or else I..." Su Lin wanted to say something harsh, but when he thought of the agreement, he couldn't bring himself to speak.
Now it seems that this wasn't just about controlling Li Baichuan, but about controlling his entire family. The whole family felt they shouldn't have done that.
With this sense of guilt, I can't bring myself to say anything harsh to people now.
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely take good care of my wife." Li Baichuan said without Su Lin having to say anything.
Marshal Li and Qi Feng over there were also making repeated assurances to their in-laws, while Commander Guo and Su's father over there didn't have tears in their eyes.
However, it was not hard to see the reluctance in their eyes; no amount of words could hide the helplessness at the moment of parting.
Once the car had driven far away and was out of sight, Suti was escorted into the courtyard by several people.
"Don't be sad, Su girl. We'll see each other again sometime." Marshal Li thought that after the baby was born, they could live on opposite sides of the house.
Marshal Li, like many others, valued family ties. He figured that his two children's jobs were just a transitional phase, and they would eventually find jobs with flexible hours.
"It's alright, Grandpa, my grandma will be here soon." Suti watched as the family members carefully comforted her.
She's just a little unaccustomed to it, and she's even more worried that her parents and grandparents won't be able to let her go, and she'll end up crying again.
"Yes, yes, we'll be reunited soon." The men in the family were relieved to hear this.
"Grandpa, we plan to move today and go to work tomorrow." Seeing his wife's eagerness, Li Baichuan quickly changed the subject.
His transportation department was alright; it didn't start work until the Lantern Festival, when all other departments were back at work. He calculated that he hadn't taken many days off.
His wife started working early and has taken almost ten days off in total.
"Alright, you can decide for yourselves." This matter had been discussed long ago. For the old marshal, everyone was at work during the day and not at home, so they could only meet for a short time in the evening.
He knew this day would come, and he didn't think it was inappropriate. Anyway, they were both in Beijing, and they had agreed to come back for dinner often.
Marshal Li, who only had one child, Li Ci, never asked her to live with him. He knew that it was more convenient for young people to have their own rooms, and he approved of this.
"There's not much to pack. Mom and the others have already packed up for us. We can just go over there."
When Su Ti heard Li Baichuan mention this, she didn't have time to think about anything else; she didn't plan to take any of their belongings from the compound.
I'll be staying here from time to time in the future.
