The more they talked, the colder Li Baichuan became, until finally he stopped talking and stared at them fiercely.
Like hungry wolves in the mountains, they were ready to seize the opportunity to deliver a heavy blow.
Meng Yixuan and Zhu Qingling were both frightened by his gaze. Zhu Qingling was about to run away when she suddenly felt as if the surroundings were filled with sunlight.
"Wife!" Meng Yixuan had been looking at him the whole time, but when she suddenly saw him smile, she was instantly amazed.
Just as they were about to say something, he quickly bypassed them and rushed out.
"Are you tired?" Li Baichuan took his wife's water bottle and handbag, noticing that she hadn't eaten much of the snacks inside.
"Are you hungry?" she added quietly.
"I'm not tired or hungry, let's go home?" Suti didn't expect that even though she left late, those people were still waiting at the door.
Their curiosity is truly unparalleled. If she's not in their sight for a day, she becomes invisible, and they are full of curiosity about her.
"Okay, let's go home." Li Baichuan got into the car with his men and drove off, leaving the group of people standing there dumbfounded.
"What did that person mean? Was he trying to scare us?" Zhu Qingling thought Su Ti's man was really rude.
She meant well, but he didn't appreciate it. And Suti was the same; she acted as if she didn't see them at all and just walked away.
Meng Yixuan said nothing and rode away on her bicycle, looking lost and dejected.
She couldn't shake off the memory of that person's smile; how could someone's smile be so captivating?
She felt like this person was a part of her heart. Seeing the way his eyes were full of Suti, and how he seemed to melt away an iceberg when he saw her, she felt very uncomfortable.
She's much better than Suti; her background is better than Suti's, and she's still a virgin.
She always had this feeling that this man should have been hers, and that Suti had stolen her man.
Thinking of this, she rode even faster; she was going to find her aunt.
"Wife, you have no idea how scary those two women were just now. They were definitely trying to scheme against me."
Li Baichuan rode a long way before telling his wife about the two people he had just met.
He looked really dangerous, but luckily he noticed it early and didn't say anything, which amused Suti.
"That's not necessarily true. They're probably just trying to curry favor with you." Su Ti thought that Zhu Qingling might be trying to get information out of Bai Chuan.
Meng Yixuan is much more cunning; she probably found out something and wants to leave a good impression on Baichuan.
Little did she know that the other person wasn't just trying to make a good impression, but was thinking of replacing her.
"Honey, I'll come a little later next time. You can sit in the office for a while, and I'll come after those people leave."
Li Baichuan didn't want them to flatter him; he was even more afraid they would scheme against him and he would be tricked by them if he wasn't careful.
"Okay, but they'll be coming to our house the day after tomorrow. We'll just have to deal with them then. They won't be as enthusiastic after that."
Seeing how he treated those people like monsters, Suti thought it would be better to stay away from them.
Once they come to see where she lives, and then fully unleash their imaginations, they'll probably think she got into the Reform Department by sheer luck.
Li Baichuan was very reluctant when he heard that they were coming to his house, but seeing that his wife seemed to have a plan, he reluctantly agreed.
As they rode their bikes, the two naturally changed the subject and started discussing what to eat for dinner.
"Either is fine, the food in our cafeteria is really awful." Li Baichuan thought that even his cooking was better than his.
It's such a waste of so many good ingredients. There was meat in the dish, so why did it taste so bland?
Having gotten used to his wife's cooking, I really can't stomach that kind of food anymore. It's true what they say: it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Suti knew why: the cafeteria staff were reluctant to use oil. No matter how good the ingredients were, if they didn't add any seasonings, it would be hard to make it taste good.
The two chatted leisurely until they got home, but their smiles froze the moment they saw the person standing at the door.
"Comrade Su, Comrade Li, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Qin Lie gave the two what he thought was a very friendly smile.
"What's wrong?" Su Ti wasn't too surprised to see Qin Lie, but she was impressed by his speed in finding her.
"Comrade Su, I've come to see you." Qin Lie could tell they weren't very welcoming to him.
"Go inside first." Suti saw that his hands were full of things, so she went over and opened the door.
"Comrade Qin, have some water." Su Ti took the initiative to speak to the person who was sitting with unusually upright posture.
"Comrade Su, you're too kind. I should have come much earlier. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Qin Lie looked at Comrade Li, who was staring intently at him, and finally turned to look at Su Ti.
"No need to be polite, we've long forgotten what happened back then," Su Ti said politely. It seemed strange that Qin Lie was in such a hurry to find them.
"Comrade Su, I apologize for what happened at your wedding that day. I'm here today not only to thank you for saving my life back then, but also to assure you that the Qin family and your Li family will never be enemies."
Qin Lie could tell that the two were wary of him, and he didn't know what he had done wrong.
He first visited Comrade Qi Feng, then went to find the old marshal, and finally came to find them. He was very reasonable in every step he took.
But for some reason, the Li family members all seemed unwilling to get to know him well. He thought about it a lot and felt that the biggest problem lay with his younger sister.
He wasn't going to beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
"Comrade Qin, you must have misunderstood something. We didn't take the wedding incident to heart."
Given the premises her father mentioned, she was very wary of Qin Lie from the start.
"After you saved me, the first thing I wanted to do after I calmed down was to find you and express my gratitude in every way I could, but I got nothing. The people there said that you had reunited with your family and left."
"No matter how I investigated, there were always people blocking my way. That's when I realized that you were not ordinary people. I was very surprised when I saw you at the wedding later."
“My younger sister… she went on a blind date with that guy, but that was all. Her hostility towards you is her own business, it doesn’t represent me, much less my Qin family.”
"I don't know if I did something wrong, or if my Qin family did something wrong, but I can sense that you don't welcome me."
"I just want to repay you. Whatever you ask for, I will agree to it as long as it is within my ability."
Qin Lie came with great sincerity; he only wanted to find out where the problem lay, and he certainly didn't want to become enemies with his savior.
