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...
Her father cares about them, about everyone in the family. If the Su family is honest, then it's fine.
He would not tolerate any attempt to disrupt the peaceful life at home; her father had a deep-seated tendency to sacrifice.
You have to give up something to gain something; he was forced to give up his hard-won, stable life and not allow others to disrupt it.
"Right now, we need to deal with the black market first. We can take care of things at home, Dad."
“It wouldn’t be convenient for us to take Biancheng there at night, and my space couldn’t be exposed, so I told him that I had a lot of things and asked them to transport them to Beijing first.”
"I need to think of how to talk to Biancheng; he'll definitely want to go with us." Suti thought about how he had been involved in this whole affair.
If we don't let him go tonight, he'll definitely get anxious, and he might even become disloyal.
"Leave this to me. Don't worry, he won't suspect anything." It wasn't that he didn't trust me, but the matter of the space was something that couldn't be discussed even with the utmost trust.
"Okay, let's tell our family about this when they get back. They're all smart. They know we're not home during the day and we go out at night, which is not normal. It'll save them from worrying."
Suti didn't intend to hide it. Even if she didn't tell, her grandfather and father would find out if they wanted to.
Based on her understanding of them, what others would avoid at all costs, they considered perfectly manageable.
“Okay, when we have dinner tonight, honey, you tell the family that I’m taking Biancheng out first.”
Li Baichuan thought of the border town over there and realized he needed to arrange something for him.
Suti then explained to Li Baichuan the negotiation techniques from today, such as which details to observe and how to control the entire situation.
She believes that many things are innate; some people are born with high emotional intelligence, while others are born with high IQ.
Suti doesn't expect Baichuan to become like her father, able to handle any situation with ease; otherwise, he wouldn't be himself.
Her Baichuan is steady, down-to-earth, responsible, knows how to love, understands the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and still has a sincere heart when she returns.
This is his strength; if he were to become as cunning as a fox, he wouldn't be Baichuan.
Two people in a relationship always need to complement each other; for example, she could never be as sincere as him.
They stopped talking and each carried one child downstairs after the children woke up.
"You slept quite a long time. It's just in time for your grandpa and dad to get off work, otherwise they wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully either."
Grandma Guo looked at the two little ones with a smile. Given how much the family doted on them, she was sure she would go up and wake them up.
"Did Grandma Lu and the others go back?" Su Ti looked around and saw that no one was home except for a few nannies busy in the kitchen.
"I'm leaving now. I went to visit some of my old friends this morning, and when I ran into them, I came back to sit with them for a bit."
Grandma Guo didn't tell her daughter that these two had always been so snobbish; her daughter was too perceptive to need her to point it out.
These two used to secretly fawn over her, but later the Guo family became too low-key, and it seemed like they couldn't see the end of the line when they followed her, so they spent less time around her.
She didn't care that the other family, whose younger members were all quite successful, had a lot of admirers.
Friends who aren't sincere aren't worth getting close to; they're just nodding acquaintances.
After all, they all lived in the same military compound, and their husbands even worked together, so they maintained a distant yet close relationship.
They rushed to her door this time, mainly because of her daughter.
She used to be so busy, and after retiring, she went to live with her daughter, so she didn't really feel the difference.
It wasn't until I came back this time that I realized how warm and welcoming she was to everyone around her. Her words were full of promise that the Guo family would be successful in the future.
So what if the younger generation is just starting out? With the Li family around, Linzi's future is bound to be bright.
Now that Linzi has risen to prominence, the Guo family no longer needs to worry about declining; they've made a brilliant move.
If things are like this for her, then there's no way she can expect anything from her husband. Grandma Guo didn't offer any explanation, and no matter what she says, they won't believe her.
She should do whatever makes her happy, so that people won't think she's hypocritical if she tells the truth.
"Oh," Suti replied casually. In her memory, these two were people her grandmother knew, so it seemed that they didn't get along well with her grandmother.
Suti didn't ask any more questions; her grandmother, at her age, had her own ideas about making friends.
Their family has lived in Shanghai for so many years and knows a wide range of people. They know better than she does who are superficial and who are worth getting to know better.
When the family members returned home, the first thing they did was wash their hands and hug the child.
Having a child at home makes even the biggest worries disappear.
"How is Mom?" Suti looked at her father and felt that they both seemed to be in good spirits.
"You're so young, why do you worry so much? They've all been sent off, your dad saw them off personally, and even said goodbye to the relatives over there."
Guo Xuqing knew what her daughter wanted to ask, so he tapped her head and said, "Don't you trust your dad to do things?"
Before Su Ti could reply, Li Baichuan came over and rubbed her head.
"Mom, my wife has delicate skin. Why don't you tap my head next time? I have thick skin." Li Baichuan felt heartbroken when he saw his wife's head was red.
Guo Xuqing: "..."
Looking at her son-in-law's sincere expression, which seemed to say, "I think this method is great," she didn't know what to say.
She looked at her daughter's head, and it was indeed red; she hadn't used much force at all.
"I'm not in pain, really." Only Su Ti squeezed Li Baichuan's hand, and she didn't feel any pain.
I was just teaching him about emotional intelligence a little while ago, but looking at his mother's expression, she went from being annoyed at first to feeling relieved later.
Seeing them being all lovey-dovey again, I gave them an annoyed look, picked up my child, and left.
Suti didn't say much. As far as her parents were concerned, Baichuan was good to her, and they were just happy.
If she had a proper mother-in-law like Baichuan, she probably wouldn't approve. But he did nothing wrong in this situation, so there's no need to correct him.
"Baichuan, my dad personally escorted those people back." Suti thought that his dad went back personally because he wanted to see those relatives.
She could imagine the wonderful lives the Su family would have in the future.
"Yes, Dad is very decisive and efficient." Li Baichuan nodded in agreement.
"Alright, it's just a little bit of red. Anyone who didn't know better would think her own mother beat her up. Come on over and eat. Baichuan, go up and call Comrade Bian down to eat."
Guo Xuqing looked at the young couple over there, wondering if it was the same in the Li family.
Fortunately, there were no women in the Li family, otherwise Nannan's life would definitely be difficult.
"Okay." Su Ti nudged Bai Chuan and ran affectionately to her mother, hugging her and acting coquettishly.
“Go find your man, so he won’t be upset if you get red in the face.” Guo Xuqing looked at her daughter’s rosy cheeks.
It embodies two words from the inside out: happiness.
