"Comrade Li Ci, please leave." The guard, Xiao Li, came over and shooed him away.
"I'm not leaving, this is my home!" Li Ci shouted angrily.
"What are you looking at me for? An outsider is showing off in front of me. Do I have to teach you how to do things?" Marshal Li glanced at Xiao Li lightly.
Xiao Li knew the old marshal's character well; there was absolutely no way out now.
Ignoring Li Ci's struggles, he grabbed her arm, lifted her up, and threw her out.
How could Li Ci, a woman, possibly be a match for someone who has been training as a soldier for many years?
She wanted to rush in, but the looks from the guards at the door told her that if she continued to make a scene, her father would no longer tolerate her.
She can make a scene because her father doesn't take it to heart, and these people know her identity, so they don't dare to really confront her.
But after what her father just said, they will never let her do whatever she wants again.
Perhaps after today, not only will her family not be allowed to enter, but even the gatekeepers at the compound will not let her in anymore.
Li Ci looked around in confusion and helplessness. She had no home anymore? What should she do?
Where is Bowen now? She needs to find him first.
No amount of talk is as important as showing her father concrete actions; she wants him to come and invite her back in person.
Li Ci took one last look at the courtyard, then left without looking back.
"Qi Feng, you've seen it too, she won't change. Even though I was so harsh, she didn't realize where she went wrong."
"Believe it or not, she's still thinking about how to win me back. She only cares about herself."
Marshal Li looked at Qi Feng, who had a sorrowful expression, but did not comfort him. He said that it was his failure to raise his daughter to be like this.
Everything was fine when things were peaceful, but it's only when something really happens that you can see a person's true character.
"Dad, I'm not upset. I just feel like a failure. After all these years of marriage, we've come to this point, and I bear some responsibility for it."
Qi Feng felt terrible when he heard the old marshal's words. He kept trying to comfort him, but seeing Li Ci like this made him feel the worst.
"Alas, what a misfortune for our family. Qi Feng, what I just said was no joke. If you are willing, you can be my son. From today onwards, my Li family will only have sons, no daughters."
Marshal Li was determined to have Qi Feng announce the divorce tomorrow; there was no need to save face for someone like Li Ci.
Otherwise, who knows what she might do? And those people outside would be even more opportunistic.
If they don't take a stand, who knows what she might do using the Li family's name.
When that child returns to Beijing, are we going to make them fight in a ring? Thinking about this, Marshal Li felt he had to take drastic measures.
“Dad, I’m willing. You know my family situation. My father passed away a long time ago, and my mother… Anyway, besides you, that child is the only family I have in this world.”
Qi Feng was heartbroken by Li Ci, but he truly respected Marshal Li.
Li Ci was right. He was able to hold on until now mainly because of the old marshal's reputation.
He didn't want his good leader, father, and elder to worry.
"Okay, by the way, I have some good news to share with you. You're going to be a grandfather."
Marshal Li felt relieved when he thought about the news that came from Jiang Province before he returned that evening.
"What?" Qi Feng was stunned. Who became a grandfather?
"I forgot to tell you, that child got married, and I'm very satisfied with the girl he married. You should have heard of her; she's the granddaughter of Guo, the commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Military Region."
Marshal Li vaguely remembered mentioning the child's marriage, but he didn't know if Qi Feng had taken it to heart.
Qi Feng was stunned for a moment by this surprise. He knew about the Guo family; their family had the same story as the Li family.
However, the only girl they had left was very capable, as was Comrade Su, the son-in-law of the Guo family. He had met him before; he was very tactful and smooth-talking.
He knew they had two children, but he never expected it to be such a coincidence.
"Dad, I want to go to Yangliu Brigade." Qi Feng really wants to see those two children and the Wei family. He wants to repay them properly.
“You should go. News has come from over there that, in addition to the people Qi Bowen sent a couple of days ago, those two kids have been targeted again these past few days.”
“I’m afraid that our identities have attracted the attention of some people. I can’t leave Beijing at will, so it’s perfect for you to go.”
“I will report to my superiors, and they will make things easier for you. No matter why those people came, those two children cannot stay there any longer.”
"I'll handle things in Beijing, don't worry." Marshal Li was more worried that the two children were being targeted because of his identity.
There's another big move coming from above, and their rear cannot be thrown into disarray.
"Dad, don't worry, I'll protect these two children even if it costs me my life." Qi Feng knew in his heart that these children were not only his sons.
He's still a member of the Li family; if they use him to attack them, it's not just a simple targeting.
"Before you leave, make sure you issue all the necessary certificates. Don't give anyone false hope." Marshal Li patted Qi Feng on the shoulder, speaking to himself as well.
"I understand." Qi Feng took a deep breath, and the things he had suppressed in his heart for the first half of his life finally came out.
He wanted to live for himself for the rest of his life, and he only cared about those who were worth caring about.
The next day, an even more explosive piece of news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Beijing.
A certificate of divorce and severance of ties was openly published on the newspaper page.
Just when everyone thought the old marshal would be angry, that this was a slap in the face to the Li family, the old marshal unexpectedly issued an order to the newspaper.
Qi Feng changed his name to Li Qi Feng, Li Ci dropped the surname Li, and her household registration was removed from the Li family. From now on, she can have any surname, but she is not allowed to have the surname Li.
To be frank, this is Marshal Li's attitude.
"My God, has the old marshal been kidnapped? Is his only daughter really being kicked out of the house?"
"Not only did they sever ties, but they also changed his surname, directly changing their son-in-law's surname to Li. Is this to make him the successor of the Li family?"
"I've heard of mothers gaining status through their sons, but I've never heard of fathers gaining status through their sons. The old marshal promoted his son-in-law directly for his own grandson."
"If we can't rely on the daughter, we still have the son-in-law to back us up. After all, this grandson is the son-in-law's own son."
"So if that's the case, then when the child comes back, won't he be Marshal Li's own grandson? That's even closer than a grandson from the family."
The commotion was overheard by Li Ci, who was passing by on his way to the train station.
She took all the valuables in the house with her; she was going to find Qi Bowen. Only by bringing him back could she plan for the future.
