Thinking this, she quickly put on an innocent and pitiful look and looked at her eldest son.
But Su's father stopped looking at her and turned to greet the other guests warmly.
Everyone here is shrewd; who doesn't have a few troublesome relatives?
They pretended nothing was wrong, and the banquet continued in a lively manner, leaving Grandma Su and her group isolated.
At first, because they were Su's father's closest relatives, everyone treated them with utmost politeness, but now they all looked at them with disdain.
Everyone present was a prominent figure, and it's not surprising that people might have different preferences based on their individual circumstances.
But once they've reached that position, no matter how much favoritism they show, they won't lack anything.
There's no family like the Su family, who find everything about their eldest son's family displeasing. They heard everything Su said earlier.
He snatched things from his granddaughter to subsidize another grandson, and even schemed to send people to the countryside just to swindle money from them.
That's not all; they implied that the eldest son was unfilial and didn't care about his future reputation at all.
She's always using her age to act tough and throw tantrums. Just by looking at how familiar Su Ti was with her earlier, you can tell that Old Mrs. Su has done it quite often.
If you want your children to be filial, you have to set a good example first, right? It's such a waste that the Su family was born into such a family.
"Honey, don't be angry." Li Baichuan always thought that his wife's family loved her, but he didn't expect there to be such a group of people.
After thinking about it, I realized it was the family of that wicked woman in the countryside. It's true what they say, like father, like son.
"I'm not angry, they didn't get anything out of it anyway." Suti felt that she should sever ties with such family members, and she would have to have a serious talk with her father after her wedding.
Now that the Guo family is climbing the social ladder, the Su family members are like a ticking time bomb. Aren't they just leaving themselves vulnerable to being used against? Who knows what will happen in the future?
Suti had no intention of leaving a potential threat here.
Li Baichuan remained silent. As a new son-in-law, even though he was very familiar with the family, he couldn't rush in and say anything in such a situation.
But if you can't do it openly, you can do it secretly. Those people who treat his wife badly are just blind.
After Li Baichuan finished toasting, he went over to the group from Biancheng. Su Ti ignored him and went inside to prepare things with her mother.
"Darling, don't get angry over those unimportant people. Your parents know what's going on. Hurry up and pack your things; we'll be leaving soon."
If you were to ask Guo Xuqing if she was angry, she would definitely be, and she even felt a little resentful towards Su's father.
But everything has to wait until after her daughter's wedding.
"Okay." Suti glanced at the time; it was indeed getting late.
Guo Xuqing went out to greet the relatives outside, politely saw off the neighbors and colleagues, and informed the other relatives who were going to Beijing in advance.
Originally, Grandma Su and the others were definitely going to go, but Father Su didn't call them at all. He arranged for other people to get on the car and then ignored them.
Many of them were Commander Guo's comrades-in-arms. They came together and arranged their own cars. Li Baichuan, who was unable to come, also brought many empty cars and arranged them to be fully occupied.
Seeing that her son-in-law was handling things very well, Guo Xuqing then told the guards who were staying at home what to do next.
They have to leave early, so they'll have to handle things at home.
"Those unimportant people should be driven away." Guo Xuqing showed no politeness to the Su family members who were staring at her expectantly.
"Elder sister, we..." Old Mrs. Su was anxious. Was she not taking them with her?
How could that be? She wanted to see what her grandson-in-law's house was like. She had never been to Beijing, where the Chairman lived.
"What? Are you going to say we're unfilial again? Go on, didn't your son say he'd divorce me soon? Then you can make him be as filial as you want."
Guo Xuqing didn't give them a kind look at all. In the past, he would at most ignore them. The Su family all knew that Guo Xuqing was arrogant.
No matter how much they made a fuss, she never bothered with them, but now she's saying this because she's really angry.
"Elder sister, I was wrong. I was blinded by greed. Please don't hold it against me!"
Grandma Su was flustered, afraid that her eldest son's wife had really divorced her son, and that this meant she didn't want her to attend her granddaughter's wedding!
Guo Xuqing felt annoyed by their pretentious behavior and didn't want to listen to their hypocritical words anymore, so she ignored them and left.
The rest of the Guo family didn't take them seriously at all. When they respected them, they were like in-laws; when they didn't, they were nobody.
Would the Su family dare to cause trouble? Absolutely not. They've always considered themselves elders, but if their son really gets divorced, what kind of elders are they?
The Su family members were filled with anxiety, while the group on this side had already prepared to depart.
The two carts, overflowing with dowry and betrothal gifts, stunned many onlookers, especially with all the other vehicles on the road.
Aside from the occasional car seen in various workplaces, when have people ever seen so many cars gathered together like this?
Walking on the road, they were a sight to behold. Fortunately, Commander Guo spoke up and found a cloth to cover up all those things.
Nannan is going to have a grand wedding, but being too high-profile is not a good thing. Many people are waiting to find fault with them.
Furthermore, now that they've become in-laws with the Li family, even if it was unintentional, the Guo family's status has indeed risen to a higher level.
The country is currently in turmoil, and everyone is aware of certain things.
"Mom, they just left like that? What should we do? Is my brother really going to get a divorce? My sister-in-law didn't give us a single kind look just now."
"Big brother isn't really going to take us back to the countryside, is he? It's all your fault, why did you have to cause such a fuss?"
The Su family and others had all left and were politely escorted out by the guards.
They were being subtly told that this was the Guo family's residence and that they should leave after finishing their meal.
Su Lao Er became anxious after leaving the compound. Many people had been pointing and whispering about them. All the relatives and friends had left, but his family had stayed behind.
That's not all; what really made him uneasy was the way his older brother and sister-in-law acted just now.
"You're blaming me? Who did I do all this for?" Old Mrs. Su clutched her chest, feeling extremely distressed.
"Alright, everyone's gone. Who are you trying to fool with this act, Mom? I'm not your older brother, I don't fall for this."
"You've offended your elder brother's family now. If you offend me too, see who will take care of you in your old age." The wicked must be tormented by the wicked.
After Su Lao Er finished speaking, Old Madam Su dared not utter a word. Looking at her youngest son, she felt even more distressed. Who was she doing all this for?
Su Ti couldn't care less about the panic of the Su family members. They traveled all the way and didn't arrive in Beijing until nine o'clock in the evening.
