At this point, the smile on Li Baichuan's face vanished without a trace.
"The exam is next month, and Grandpa has indeed been planning to give me extra lessons lately. Honey, you take the baby to sleep first, and I plan to study a little more when I get back in the evening."
Speaking of this, Li Baichuan also had a headache. His worst subject was the humanities, there was just too much to memorize.
He's dreaming about Chinese textbooks now. He has very little confidence in himself, and he's been spending all his time studying except for work lately.
"No rush, if you don't pass this year, there's always next year." Su Ti calculated the time and realized there was still plenty of time.
"I want to graduate from junior high school this year and try my best to get into high school next year." Li Baichuan didn't want to be too far behind his wife.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Other people have to study for four years in junior high and high school, but you want to complete all of this in two years. You are already better than many people."
Suti knows that Baichuan is working very hard now, just to get closer to her.
"I haven't passed the exam yet. You can praise me after I pass." Li Baichuan felt that there was nothing wrong with him in his wife's eyes, and he was already used to it.
"Okay, I have faith in you. By the way, Baichuan, I got promoted today." Su Ti thought about what happened at work today.
Then he thought of Meng Yixuan, who had been hesitant to take action, and frowned.
"What's wrong? Did your promotion not go smoothly? Did someone try to sabotage you?" Li Baichuan was about to congratulate his wife when he saw her frown.
He was mentally prepared for his wife's promotion; in fact, his company had promoted him to captain of the transportation team.
Although the position wasn't very useful, the salary increased by two yuan, since the matter was reported to the Reform Department.
Even if he was the one who proposed it, it wouldn't bring any real benefits to the Department of Transportation other than a better reputation.
So his chances of promotion were limited, but his wife was different; she had actually accomplished a lot, so she was bound to get promoted.
"No, it's not that one. Your promotion went smoothly. It's that Meng Yixuan... the woman who has feelings for you."
“I’ve been waiting for her to make a mistake, but she’s so infatuated with me, I don’t know what she’s thinking. I’m tired of having to guard against her every day.”
"If she doesn't make a move, are we just going to wait to be schemed against by her? I think it's better to give her a chance."
Sutti truly believes that waiting is the most incompetent form of defense; only those who lack ability wait to be outmaneuvered.
She doesn't harm anyone, but if someone wants to harm her, she can't just sit idly by and let them do it, can she?
"Wife, what should we do?" Li Baichuan had almost forgotten about that woman, but now that his wife brought it up, he felt that she must have done something again.
His wife has only been at work for a short time and he's already making things difficult for her. There's still a long time to go, and his wife will be driven crazy with annoyance.
Li Baichuan agreed with his wife's words and did whatever she said.
"Her ultimate goal is to get into the Li family, and you remember Wei Bowen, right?" Su Ti thought that Wei Bowen was still hiding somewhere.
Unlike in later generations, there are no surveillance cameras everywhere now, so finding someone, especially someone who is deliberately hiding, is very difficult.
The country is so big, if he hides in some remote mountain valley, it will be very difficult for them to find him.
Of course, it wouldn't be a problem if they intensified their search, but she knew that wouldn't work. Not to mention that her grandfather and the others couldn't abuse their power to find someone.
Now that Wei Bowen has gotten involved with the Qin family, if they want to do anything, they'll have to go against the Qin family.
It's not that the Li family is afraid to offend the Qin family, but rather that there are better ways to do so.
"Wife, do you have a plan?" Li Baichuan knew his wife was smart. Was she trying to kill two birds with one stone and solve the problem at once?
“I had a baby recently and didn’t have time to take care of them. Now that the opportunity is right in front of me, I definitely won’t give it up.”
Su Ti realized that Wei Bowen and Meng Yixuan knew each other. What if she spread the news to Meng Yixuan and her grandfather wanted to acknowledge him?
Then, if they were to unexpectedly give them another chance, what would happen if she got involved with Wei Bowen? Would that girl from the Qin family go crazy?
Even the most magnanimous Qin family couldn't bear to see their child being cuckolded. What if the Li family put pressure on them again?
Given their already regretful attitude, they would simply hand Wei Bowen over without hesitation. Wei Bowen could use women to rise to power, and she could use women to bring him down as well.
As for Meng Yixuan, she wasn't worried that she wouldn't take the bait. That woman was obsessed with getting into the Li family, and she wouldn't give up as long as there was even the slightest chance.
The key now is to find Wei Bowen's whereabouts. Su Ti knows that the Qin family doesn't dare to truly confront the Li family.
Grandpa hasn't put pressure on her yet, partly because of the interference from her childbirth, and partly because people in the Li family have to think twice before doing anything.
If we really have to confront the Qin family, we will definitely give them a heavy blow and not give them any chance to fight back.
The situation is critical right now, and even Grandpa can't act recklessly. She thinks this is a good idea and will discuss it with him later.
Seeing his wife like this, Li Baichuan honestly didn't ask any questions. He knew that his wife already had a plan in mind, and he just needed to cooperate with her.
Suti was wondering where Wei Bowen might be hiding, but little did he know that the man was right under their noses.
"Jiaojiao, how did it go? What did Mom and Dad say?" Wei Bowen was lying on the bed when he saw someone come in and hurriedly got up.
"Bowen, my dad said... he... give me some more time, I'll try to persuade them." Qin Jiaojiao couldn't bring herself to speak when she saw his expectant look.
Her blog posts... she used to be such a spirited person, and now she's been tormented like this.
"How much longer do I have to wait? Look what people outside are saying about those two. They're saying they're worthy of being from the Li family."
"They say that old man did the right thing, that it's lucky he recognized them. But what am I then? What about all the fawning they showed me when I was still a member of the Li family?"
Wei Bowen's face was full of ruthlessness, and he looked at people with a crazed expression.
“Bowen, don’t be angry. My parents are also in a difficult position. You know my older brother is very unhappy about me keeping you here.”
“He’s having a fight with his family and wants his parents to hand you over to the Li family. His parents are already in a difficult position, and I’m very anxious too.”
Qin Jiaojiao was frightened by his appearance. The place they were hiding was the house of the older sister of one of her father's soldiers.
That soldier died saving her father, which was also the only mistake in her father's career.
Her father couldn't bear it, so he's been supporting their family for so many years, though not many people know about it.
Even her brother didn't know, otherwise they would have been found long ago. Her brother searched every household and relative's house.
This time, she was determined to give the Li family an explanation, fearing that her parents wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.
