"Have you eaten yet? Do you want your sister-in-law to make you some noodles?" Meng Yixuan's mother only had two children in her life, and she cherished both of them dearly.
"I ate at my aunt's house. Mom, I want to get married. I want you and Dad to live a good life with me."
Meng Yixuan thought that if she married into the Li family, why would her mother have to suffer like this, pretending to be sick every time for that little bit of money?
Unlike her good-for-nothing brother, he would watch helplessly as his mother and sister-in-law argued over money.
"My daughter is so filial! You've found a boyfriend? What does your family do?" Meng Yixuan's mother was taken aback when she heard her daughter's words.
Coming to her senses, she looked at the person with excitement. She knew her daughter; over the years, her family had introduced her to many men.
She has high standards, just like her mother. She hasn't even looked at anyone she liked before. Now that she says she wants to get married, this person must come from a good family.
She's hoping her daughter will marry into a good family so she can enjoy a comfortable life with her.
"Mom, he is the grandson of Marshal Li. His family is very rich and powerful." Meng Yixuan only knew that the Li family had a high status.
If you reach the position of a former marshal, your salary must be high, and the country might even provide other subsidies.
The old marshal lived in a good place, so he must have saved a lot of money. He didn't have any other children, so it would all belong to that person in the future.
She was absolutely right when she said he was rich and powerful, not to mention that she knew about him back when he was still in their office.
He doesn't seem to care about his food and drink, even though his monthly salary is so low. This shows that his family is not lacking at all, so it must all be subsidized by the old marshal.
Qi Bowen grew up in Beijing and has high standards, so he wouldn't look up to her. But that other person is different; she has confidence in him.
"What...what?" Meng Yixuan's mother suddenly stood up, no longer bothering to pretend to have a headache.
"Daughter...daughter, you're dating the old marshal's grandson? Oh my, you're such a good daughter, you're so promising."
Meng Yixuan's mother was practically jumping for joy. She never expected her daughter to be so successful. Who was the old marshal? Her husband had mentioned him more than once.
He's a leading figure in the country. If their family were to become in-laws with Marshal Li... No, she needs to make some changes. This won't do if he comes to propose marriage.
Their house is too small; it would be too shabby to use it to entertain guests. But once her daughter gets married, they definitely won't live here anymore.
Isn't it only right to help out her in-laws? Besides, her husband has been in that position for so many years.
Although he is called the Minister of Public Security, in a place like Beijing, the title of Minister of Public Security is not enough.
She does the most dangerous work, but gets the lowest pay. And her son, who is now the logistics director of the steel rolling mill, has been in that position for many years. It's time for him to be moved.
"Mom, don't get excited yet... Sit down and I'll talk to you properly." Meng Yixuan looked at her mother's excited appearance, as if she could bring the person back tomorrow.
After she calmed down, she told him about how she hadn't caught up with him yet and his situation.
"What? How can this be?" Meng Yixuan's mother was stunned. That man was already married and had a wife and children.
How can that be allowed? How can her daughter marry into that family?
"Mom, have you forgotten Auntie?" Meng Yixuan saw that her mother looked completely lost, and she didn't want her family to stop her.
Meng Yixuan's mother thought of her sister-in-law, whose husband was just an ordinary investigator in the Ministry of Public Security back then.
It's all because her sister-in-law married well; her husband gradually rose to the position of minister, and her sister-in-law's husband put in a lot of effort in the process.
Her sister-in-law also helped her get a job, saying that it would be a "gilded" experience, and that she would be given a better position when she came out, without having to start from the bottom.
Her sister-in-law was also remarried. There was a lot of gossip when she married into the family, but now who doesn't envy her?
"Daughter, does that man really like you? What did he say to you?" Meng Yixuan's mother knew that her sister-in-law's man was so infatuated with her that he didn't care about anything else.
Could it be that the old marshal's grandson is like that too? If so, it's not impossible.
So be it, it's a second marriage. Fortunately, her family is well-off. She quickly accepted what happened with her sister-in-law and even thought her daughter was charming.
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely marry into the Li family." Meng Yixuan didn't say it outright; she hadn't even spoken more than a few words to that person yet.
She's already figured out a way; as long as that person likes her, Suti won't be a problem at all.
"Okay, Mom supports you." Meng Yixuan's mother looked at her precious daughter with great satisfaction.
Her daughter is beautiful; marrying into the Li family won't be a problem at all.
The mother and daughter were discussing inside the house when Meng Yixuan's sister-in-law, who had been tidying up the house outside, curled her lips in a sarcastic smile.
How shameless! Destroying someone else's family and acting like it's perfectly normal—like father, like son!
She had no say in this family; as long as her younger sister was alright, all the suffering she endured was worthwhile.
After discussing it for a long time, Meng Yixuan was full of confidence and was just waiting for the holiday to go to Su Ti's house.
Time seems to pass quickly to others, but for Meng Yixuan, time seems to drag on forever.
"Su Ti, don't forget to come to your house tomorrow." Zhu Qingling reminded Su Ti as she left work.
The main reason is that Meng Yixuan kept repeating the words "go to Su Ti's house" to her countless times today, and her mind was filled with nothing but the words "go to Su Ti's house".
"Okay." Suti nodded indifferently. If she didn't let them go, she wouldn't have peace of mind.
Meng Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Su Ti had agreed, fearing that Su Ti might refuse again later.
She always felt that Suti wasn't an easy person to talk to, and her quick agreement seemed very strange to her.
"Then it's settled, see you tomorrow." Zhu Qingling left the office happily with the others, as if she had completed her mission.
Meng Yixuan turned her head and glanced at Su Ti. She frowned and wondered what Su Ti's family did.
She found out that the man was found in the countryside, and Suti was the wife he married there.
But Suti's appearance overturned her perception of people from the countryside.
Perhaps she was pampered at home? Perhaps she was the daughter of the brigade leader? In any case, she was far inferior to someone who grew up in Beijing.
Meng Yixuan walked out with her head held high and her chest out; she wouldn't lose to Su Ti.
After Suti and the others left, she waited a while before leaving herself. This time it went smoothly; everyone was gone, and she and Baichuan went home comfortably.
"Honey, how long will your colleagues be here tomorrow?" The holiday time varies from department to department; their transportation department won't have a holiday tomorrow.
He thought that if they played late, he would go and check on his grandfather and the others first.
