"I don't know who spread this news, but it's spreading very quickly. I guess Wei Bowen will show up soon."
When Su Yatou discussed this with him some time ago, he thought this method was feasible and might be able to get Wei Bowen to show up on his own.
"Did those grandpas and uncles find out too?" Suti didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, but she was certain it must have come from people in her workplace.
As for who was promoting it so enthusiastically, Su Ti had no idea for a moment. She felt that it was not something Meng Yixuan would do.
If she really cared, she would be anxiously looking for Wei Bowen now, scheming against him before anyone could react, instead of making a scene that caused a huge uproar.
"Yes, they even advised me not to be so pessimistic and not to disappoint you. Is Grandpa such a muddle-headed person?"
The old marshal thought about what they said about how enviable his life was, and he felt quite content.
"It's alright. Once this is over, those grandfathers and uncles will find out. Right now, we need to find out who spread the word."
"It should be the same people in my workplace, but things turned out quite unexpectedly."
Su Ti considered the interests at stake and concluded that, apart from Meng Yixuan, no one among those people would benefit.
Knowing them as she did, she knew they would pretend they knew nothing and then see who could become the head of the Li family before they fawned over them. Only a fool would do that.
So the problem must still lie with Meng Yixuan. She really isn't thinking straight; she actually spread this around like that. What was she thinking?
“I wouldn’t have been sure before, but now I think Wei Bowen is in Beijing, so it’s possible that he’s the one who spread this news.”
"This is the kind of thing he would do. He knew there was a trap here, but he thought he was clever and could take advantage of the situation to put us in a difficult position."
"The news was leaked by people in your unit, but for it to escalate so quickly, there must be someone pushing it from behind."
"This person might have even gotten in touch with Wei Bowen. Su girl, who do you think this person is?"
The old marshal knew that he hadn't made any moves because he was watching Su Yatou's performance.
"It must be related to Meng Yixuan." Su Ti wasn't sure for a moment.
Those people are unreliable. She felt that either Meng Yixuan had taken action, or she had really gotten involved with Wei Bowen.
Either someone leaked this information to Wei Bowen, and now he wants to turn this charade into a real one, using this opportunity to actually return to the Li family.
With the Qin family behind him, he felt he truly had the ability to fight. He figured he could easily dig a pit, and they would dare to jump in without hesitation.
"So what do you plan to do next?" Marshal Li asked, looking at the girl's calm demeanor. He could tell she had a plan.
“They’re doing all this just waiting for us to make a statement. They’ll only panic if we do nothing.”
"People are most prone to making mistakes when they are flustered. Regardless of whether the Li family acknowledges him or not, he has already achieved his goal of getting back involved with the Li family."
"His ultimate goal may be to make us afraid to touch him again."
Suti always felt that Wei Bowen lacked the brains, but she habitually thought of problems in a more complex way and came up with a good solution.
“Grandpa, no matter what we do now, it’s wrong. People will think we’re too heartless. He’s married and has a family now, but he still cares about the Li family.”
“But we don’t care about our past relationship at all. His ultimate goal is to use the Li family and to get back into the Li family.”
"It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away. He's trying to use public opinion to make us back down." Suti knew it didn't matter who spread the news.
Wei Bowen did indeed benefit from this, so he is definitely involved in this matter.
She could guess what he was thinking, but he forgot his identity: he was Wei Bowen from Yangliu Brigade.
He's an unregistered resident here, so even if he marries a girl from the Qin family, it won't change anything.
He also seems to have forgotten about Li Ci. If this matter is leaked out, all his schemes will be useless.
Moreover, all of these things were orchestrated by her to deal with them. Wei Bowen grew up in his presence, but it seems he doesn't really know what kind of person the old marshal is.
He's not the kind of person who can be forced to submit by public opinion. Besides, with his grandfather's many achievements, where does Wei Bowen get the confidence to think that others will side with him?
“Then he’s mistaken.” Just as Suti thought, the old marshal simply smiled when he heard her words.
Even if Baichuan and Su were both excellent in every way, and even if they were hopeless cases, they would still be better than Wei Bowen in his eyes.
He would not allow anyone to take away what belonged to the Li family's own bloodline, because that last bit of bloodline was important not only to him.
That is still the legacy of the entire Li family. His fathers, his brothers and sisters, his sons, nephews and nieces are all watching over him from heaven.
"Grandpa, don't worry, it will be over soon." Suti poured his grandfather a cup of tea, then sat down leisurely and sipped his tea.
The quiet room slowly came alive again when Dad brought out the two little ones who had just had a bath.
"Wah wah wah..." Qi Feng was in the mood to give the two little ones a bath today. The two children were small, but they were splashing around so much that he couldn't control them at all.
"These two are good prospects for joining the army; they're really strong." Qi Feng handed the two children to Su Ti, who was also hungry.
"It's getting late, you should go back first and get some rest too." The old marshal saw that Su Ya was about to take the baby inside to breastfeed, and thought it was quite late and the baby should be sleeping.
He said goodbye to Grandma Guo before reluctantly leaving.
"Ever since he had a child, the old marshal has lost his toughness." Grandma Guo smiled. He used to have such a loud voice, but now he speaks like a kitten.
They even shuffled their feet; who would believe that if word got out?
“Grandpa dotes on Chaochao and Hehe.” Suti thought of the red envelopes that Grandpa and Dad gave the two children when they turned one month old.
They didn't touch any of the money at home; it was probably their wages for this period of time, which they paid cleanly without even blinking an eye.
"How could it not hurt? Let alone the affection between grandparents and grandchildren, just look at the Li family. In all these generations, there has only been one Baichuan. Now that two have come out, they are bound to be very happy."
"So, my dear, don't believe those people outside who are trying to sow discord. They're spreading rumors that the old marshal wants to recognize the previous one. That's impossible."
Grandma Guo looked at her granddaughter, fearing she might get stuck on a rut.
She knew perfectly well that she adored Baichuan to an extent that she didn't even understand why. If Baichuan suffered any injustice, she would become a completely different person.
