He even began to doubt whether his son-in-law had been involved in that incident.
“Old Marshal, I know what you’re thinking, but to be honest, your son-in-law only hates Wei Changgen.”
Suti now feels that everything has been resolved. In his previous life, Chief Qi supposedly died suddenly from an illness.
Later, Marshal Li also passed away, leaving behind the Li family's daughter, who apparently also died later.
At the time, no one thought anything of it, but now Su Ti understands that it must have been Chief Qi who first noticed something was wrong.
Then what did Qi Bowen do? She felt that if Chief Qi knew the truth, he would definitely not let it go unchecked.
It doesn't matter whose child Qi Bowen is, but he absolutely cannot be Wei Changgen's. He can never forget the harm that woman in the mountains caused the Qi family.
He fought so hard for everything, and gave it all to that woman in the mountains who had a child out of wedlock. How could he possibly be content with that?
Suti felt a little happier at this thought, because now there was one more person standing with them.
"That's true, the little girl is quite clear-headed." Marshal Li nodded, "Concern can cloud judgment, and those involved often lose their way."
How could his son-in-law possibly scheme against his own son for someone he hated for life? He considered him his brother, but his son-in-law would probably never admit it, even if he were beaten to death.
After he realized what was happening, he understood that the girl could see so clearly from the perspective of an observer.
She distanced herself from them and wasn't on their side, so he felt it would be difficult to persuade them to go back.
“Girl, you’re very smart. You can probably guess why I’m here. I want to take you back to Beijing. Don’t worry, I’ll go back and arrange everything for you first.”
Marshal Li knew it was too early to say these things, but he wasn't the kind of person to mince words. He knew that the two children held no place in their hearts.
If it weren't for Wei Changgen's scheming, how could they have been separated for so long? Thinking of this, he became angry again.
“I think my life is good now. Maybe if I go back, I will be in someone’s way. I have been lonely and helpless in the first half of my life. Now I have finally had two days of peace. I don’t want anyone to disturb my peaceful life now.”
"Besides, a country bumpkin like me might not be able to adapt to life in a big city. Just pretend you don't know the truth and go with the flow."
Wei Baichuan had been observing this man ever since he arrived, and knew that he wasn't the kind of person who couldn't see things clearly.
They're rushing to take him back before they've even resolved the issue.
They must care about him to some extent, right? He doesn't care what they think; all he wants is the power they can bring him.
Suti glanced at Wei Baichuan. No one knew him better than her. What a brilliant remark!
Their witty remarks subtly instilled a sense of guilt in others and subtly sowed discord between Qi Bowen and others.
Look, the biological child is all alone here, while the fake one is living a life of luxury, getting whatever she wants.
Going against the grain, Wei Baichuan verbally refused to go back, saying that the countryside was great. Wasn't this just rubbing salt into Marshal Li's wounds?
Their biological child from the Li family has been living away from home, and they dare not contact them at all, for fear that the fake one will cause them trouble.
Why is that fake one so confident? It's because the Li family gave it to him. I bet Marshal Li must be furious inside.
"Child, don't worry, I promised I would give you an explanation. The Li family will always stand behind you."
“You don’t need to live at the mercy of anyone, nor do you need to be so cautious.” Just as Su Ti had thought, Marshal Li felt a tightness in his chest.
He also knew that the child had never had a good day with Wei Changgen, and he didn't trust them and was afraid that Qi Bowen would deal with him.
But why? His own grandson suffers so much, while the son of his enemy lives a prosperous life under their protection.
Now that he finally knows the truth, why should he be afraid of that fake? Could it be that Qi Bowen has already made his move against him?
Once a thought takes hold, one unconsciously starts thinking about many things, and the slight reluctance in one's heart is left behind.
He had doted on that child for over twenty years, but no matter what, it couldn't compare to his own flesh and blood. Perhaps he should go back and properly resolve Qi Bowen's matter.
Considering all these years of raising him, he won't harm him; let him go back to where he came from.
“Old Marshal, with me here, Baichuan won’t have to worry about what others think.” Suti knew they were just feigning weakness and refusing.
Making him feel guilty, this was another powerful dose of medicine for him, showing that Wei Baichuan didn't necessarily need them.
Although her family doesn't have the same deep financial resources as the Li family, they are still quite powerful.
The old marshal in Beijing is more powerful than the military commander in Shanghai. Her parents are also sensible. She also has an older brother. Nobody knows what will happen to her in the future.
Marshal Li then looked up and took a serious look at the two children. He belatedly realized that one of them was playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.
They work together so well that they understand each other without even exchanging a glance.
He arrived without warning, and without any preparation, yet the two managed to stand united against a common enemy.
If it were anyone else, Marshal Li would have seen through their conspiracy long ago.
He was always at a disadvantage with these two children, and they probably knew it very well, secretly plotting against him.
But Marshal Li was not angry at all; on the contrary, he was extremely proud. "The younger generation is truly formidable; this is the kind of child the Li family should have."
With the couple like this, the Li family will surely amount to something in the future.
The girl also mentioned the Guo family. Yes, a powerful alliance—that's the real surprise.
"Good, they're both good kids." After several exchanges, he had figured out what the two meant.
If we want them to go back, we need to wipe out the Beijing area, including Qi Bowen; they won't tolerate any nonsense from him.
Marshal Li even thought that, with people like them, especially with this shrewd girl around, even if they faced Qi Bowen, he would be no match for them.
Su Ti was quite satisfied to see that Marshal Li had understood their meaning and did not seem angry.
That's good. If they really can't give up Qi Bowen, she'll have to find another way.
Ultimately, this thorn in their side must be removed. It is Wei Baidao's last resort. Once Qi Bowen falls, the plot of the book will completely collapse.
Only then can she live out the rest of her days in peace.
"Old Marshal, you should rest first. We'll have dinner at home tonight." Suti regained her warm demeanor, as if she wasn't the one who had been probing her just moments before.
"Okay." Marshal Li did not refuse, nor did he intend to leave. He wanted to learn more about the two children.
He didn't know when they would see each other again, and the thought of how to tell his stubborn daughter when he returned to Beijing gave him a headache.
He knew his son-in-law; he had never been close to Bowen. He didn't know why before, but now it seems that blood ties are indeed a magical thing.
But his daughter...
