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...
Meng Yixuan looked at Su Ti with an innocent expression. Not only did she think so, but everyone else was also drawn to look at her.
“Well, there’s nothing I can do. My husband loves me and felt that the previous wedding wasn’t grand enough. Plus, given the special circumstances, he discussed it with his family and decided to hold a wedding for me.”
“I didn’t want to go through all that trouble. You know, we already have a child, so who cares about that? But my husband said it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event, and we should take advantage of the holiday to celebrate while I’m still not pregnant.”
"Won't this make us a laughing stock? We've had two weddings, and even my mom says he's messing around." Su Ti said this, but everyone could see the happiness in his eyes.
Even some of the female colleagues in the office felt a sour smell about him, thinking that Su Ti was showing off.
She only told these things when asked, but she didn't publicize them as soon as she got to the office.
"Is that so? Your husband really dotes on you." Zhu Qingling always remembered what her family had told her: to get along well with Su Ti.
Upon hearing this, she quickly responded, "So it was a make-up wedding ceremony? Is that even possible?"
"This is the first time I've ever heard of someone getting married twice. Is it the same person? Suti, I'm so curious."
Meng Yixuan always felt that Su Ti was hiding something, so she pretended to look at people innocently, her eyes seemingly only filled with curiosity.
"I'm also curious. Everyone in our office is very polite, so why are you so bad at speaking?"
"Yixuan, this won't do. Luckily we're in our office. If you talked like this outside, you'd get beaten up."
"It's not just a matter of losing face; people will also think that everyone in our office is so tactless."
“We already said we’d hold a wedding ceremony. If the person is different, why bother with a wedding ceremony? That’s just remarriage.”
Su Ti glanced at Meng Yixuan with a cryptic look, then put on a face that seemed to be concerned for her well-being.
Meng Yixuan: "..."
She felt everyone was holding back their laughter, and her fist, hidden under her sleeve, clenched tightly; she really wanted to rush up and scratch them.
"Oh dear, I didn't mean it. You all know I'm a straightforward person, and I don't have any ulterior motives. Suti, please don't be angry with me!"
Meng Yixuan seemed oblivious to everyone's mockery and Su Ti's sarcastic remarks, and still smiled as she approached Su Ti.
"What are you saying? I understand you." Su Ti's eyes curved into crescent moons, making Meng Yixuan grit her teeth in anger.
She's definitely laughing at her; she's the only one who knows how to pretend.
Suti handed out wedding candy to everyone, then grabbed another handful and went to the director's office.
He put down the wedding candy, said a word, and left; everything was understood without a word.
The office was still filled with people chatting in small groups.
“Sutti, I was planning to visit you during the Chinese New Year, but you never told me where you live, and you didn’t invite us to your wedding this time.”
"We work in the same office, so this is inappropriate. Why don't you come to my house next time?"
Zhu Qingling still wanted to find out where Su Ti lived. After talking with a few people over there for a while, she came over again.
“I’ve been busy with my wedding lately, and I was also away from my mom’s for the Lunar New Year, so I haven’t been home much. Now that I have some free time, you’re all welcome to come to my house.”
Since they had already moved, Suti felt it didn't matter if she told them now.
These people all came from families with some connections. Suti didn't intend to get to know them well, nor did she intend to offend them. She knew they were just curious.
She didn't say anything, which only fueled their curiosity. Sure enough, when she finally told them where she lived, they all pouted in disappointment.
"That area looks like the staff quarters of the glass factory and porcelain factory, right? How did you end up living there? Does your husband work there? Or does someone in your family work there?"
Zhu Qingling was also taken aback. She grew up in Beijing and knew every corner of the city.
Suti said she had heard of that place but had never been there, and that it was far worse than where she lived.
They were all alleyways, unlike her family's apartment upstairs in a clean and tidy residential compound.
Nowadays, everyone is content living in apartment buildings, and those courtyard houses are all old-fashioned houses. Everyone was quite surprised when Suti mentioned this place.
"No one in our family works there; it's just that the house happens to be over there." Looking at their expressions, Suti thought they lived in a palace.
She knows that people nowadays are proud to live in apartment buildings in family compounds, since there are very few detached houses and courtyards these days.
Houses with yards usually house several families; they can't compare to the clean and comfortable living upstairs.
"Oh..." Zhu Qingling maintained her smile, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.
It seems that even though she's a relative of a big shot, they didn't take her seriously. Otherwise, why would they have arranged for her to be placed in that alley?
Zhu Qingling felt she had to go back and tell her father about it. She didn't want to keep fawning over Su Ti. If Su Ti wasn't valued, what was the point of her being so polite?
With that thought in mind, Zhu Qingling returned to her seat.
Soon after, several clerks from next door came over, and the group gathered together to chat. Suti felt her world quiet down.
Only Meng Yixuan couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile; she thought Zhu Qingling was just an idiot.
She still believes Suti's words; she doesn't believe a single word he says, let alone the information he's found out.
Even if Su Ti-zhen lived there, she would definitely not be neglected.
She had to find a way to go and see him. She didn't have a chance to contact him directly now, so she could only do so under the guise of being Suti's colleague.
Once they're more familiar with each other, things will be easier. However, she can't bring it up herself; Su Ti is very shrewd.
She glanced at Zhu Qingling over there, her eyes darting around.
Suti looked at the group of people over there, each with their own cunning and wicked schemes, and found it hard to describe.
They fawned over her unwillingly, yet remained wary of her at all times, fearing that their status was not high enough and they would lose face in the end.
They call it adulation, but they act like it's a blessing, as if they're the only smart people in the world.
Suti had no desire to deal with them. She went to find the director and asked for the documents that had been rejected by various departments recently.
Time waits for no one, she needs to hurry.
While Su Ti was working diligently, Li Baichuan was surrounded by people congratulating him on his marriage.
After all, the Ministry of Transport had put in a lot of effort for his wedding, and everyone could see that the old marshal didn't care about his grandson at all.
That's because she cares too much, to the point that she doesn't care what he does or what he likes.
And then there's Brother Chuan's wife, who also has quite a background. Everyone who went there said she was exceptionally beautiful and came from a good family.
It's more than enough to match Brother Chuan's abilities; it's not that he doesn't care.
"Thank you for the wedding candy, Brother Chuan." Several drivers in the transport team received a handful of candy and sincerely congratulated each other.
