Bai Yi didn't sleep much that night. He had to admit that Ou Lin's suggestion was very tempting. He hadn't dared to think about it before, but now that he had the chance, he didn't want to let it go.
At the dinner table, Ou Lin chattered away as usual, something Bai Yi had grown accustomed to.
"I want to see your brother."
Oulin's words came to an abrupt halt. "Bai Bai, have you thought it through? I'll call my brother right now."
Oulin acted quickly; the two went to Xingyue City after finishing their meal, and Oulsen was still waiting when they arrived.
"Linlin, I have something to discuss with Mr. Bai. Why don't you go for a walk outside for a while?"
Oulin was a little unhappy. "Is there anything I can't know? You're not allowed to bully Bai Bai."
Olsen shook his head helplessly, "You heartless little thing, you've forgotten your brother now that you have a lover. Do you still want to marry him?"
Bai Yi knew that going back wouldn't be so simple. After Oulin left, Ou Sen got down to business.
“Mr. Bai, Linlin is my only sister. Her life has always been smooth sailing, but she has only stumbled because of you.”
"Linlin is innocent and naive. I can't stop her from liking you. Our family can't have any blemishes. I'm sure Linlin told you all that yesterday."
Bai Yi didn't mince words, "Mr. Ou won't help me for no reason. State your conditions."
Olsen appreciated Bai Yi's straightforwardness. "If you want to go back to being a policeman, you need a catalyst. If you go back directly, some people might not be happy about it."
Bai Yi also knew that going back wouldn't be so easy; many people and things had changed in three years.
Bai Yi handed him a stack of documents, saying, "Read this before you reply. I want to see your sincerity."
Bai Yi glanced at the documents in his hand without expression. No wonder Olsen was able to climb to this position at such a young age; his methods were truly killing three birds with one stone.
Bai Yi picked up the documents on the table. "I'll think about it. It's getting late, so I won't bother Mr. Ou any longer."
Seeing Bai Yi come out, Ou Lin quickly ran over, eager to know how her brother's talk with Bai Yi had gone.
"Bai Bai, did my brother agree? What did you two talk about?"
Looking at the innocent girl in front of him, Bai Yi knew that no matter which choice he made, Ou Lin would be the one who got hurt in the end. He didn't want to get involved, but little did he know that Ou Lin had already fallen into the trap.
One is a brother, the other is his future. Bai Yi doesn't want to choose. If he doesn't make a choice, how can he do what he wants to do?
In the small village, He Ci and Su Ning followed Li Mei to her maternal grandmother's house. It is said that when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and Li Mei's family members also benefited greatly.
At the dinner table, Su Ning's cousins didn't let He Ci off the hook, offering him drinks and toasts. He drank quite a lot, and his uncles all admired He Ci's drinking capacity.
This was He Ci's first time officially spending time with her maternal grandparents' family. On their wedding day, she was too busy and only managed a quick greeting.
This time, Su Ning's aunts and uncles also came, and not only that, almost all of her cousins who could come were also present.
Su Ning has rarely returned home in the past three years, and she hasn't seen her relatives on her maternal grandmother's side for a long time. Everyone knows that Su Ning married well, so when they heard that she was back, they asked Li Mei to bring her over to visit.
Everyone has a bunch of distant relatives, and He Ci wasn't shy at all when he arrived here. He was pulled away by his cousins during mealtimes.
In rural areas, it's customary for men to sit at the table to eat and drink, while women can only wait for the men to finish their food or eat communal dishes in the kitchen.
He Ci was very good at handling people, and he made all his uncles very happy, especially his youngest uncle, who was only a few years older than He Ci. If it weren't for the difference in their generations, the two of them would have become sworn brothers.
“Aci, you… don’t call me… little uncle, call me brother.”
The second uncle slapped him across the face, saying, "Look at you, so capable! You think you're something just because you drank some horse piss? Do you want to become sworn brothers with your nephew-in-law?"
Everyone at the table laughed. He Ci picked up the wine bottle and refilled his uncle's glass, then raised the glass and presented it to him.
"Uncle, I respect you. Although we can't be brothers, I'm still your nephew-in-law. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me."
Everyone knows that He Ci's family is well-off. If it weren't for his and Su Ning's help, there wouldn't be the Li family today. All these uncles and aunts have benefited from this. We invited them here today to express our gratitude.
