Not to mention Li Baichuan and the others, even Su Ti, who grew up here, felt a sense of unfamiliarity when looking at the scenery of Shanghai.
"Brother Chuan, sister-in-law, I think the houses in Shanghai are much nicer than those in Beijing. The houses in Beijing are all in hutongs, all square and neat, while here they are all Western-style buildings."
"Take that place we went to today, for example. That Western-style building was really beautiful. What kind of people could have lived there back then? It must have been incredibly luxurious!"
"Even the places where ordinary people live are beautiful. No wonder people say that Shanghai is exquisite. Even the houses are so exquisite."
Not only Suti was thinking about it, but even the people in the border town were marveling at how beautiful the houses were, as long as they had good taste.
“It is indeed quite beautiful.” Li Baichuan, who was standing to the side, also lowered his head and pondered.
He could tell that his wife really liked this house; it was where she grew up, and that was something she should love.
His wife has now secured a supplier for him, so he'll be able to come here more often in the future.
Once he's familiar with the situation and there are suitable properties available, he'll definitely buy a house here for his wife.
His desire to make money became even stronger. He didn't have his wife's eloquence, nor did he understand people's hearts as well as she did.
But he will study hard and be obedient, and he will buy his wife whatever she wants.
“Yes, Shanghai is very refined,” Su Ti replied. It’s no exaggeration to say that Shanghai is refined.
It was always exquisite, no matter when. Suti led them along the tram, showing them the whole cityscape of Shanghai.
That's just a rough idea. She plans to find some time tomorrow to take them to a pedicab rental shop to rent a vehicle and explore the small town.
We need to know roughly how to get around here. If the black market here becomes accessible in the future, we'll have more opportunities to come.
They returned to the compound after they were tired from walking around. They hadn't seen the children for a long time, and Li Baichuan and Su Ti were very worried about them.
Both children drink formula during the day and breastfeed a little at night. They are usually at work and not at home all day, so the two children are used to it.
When Suti arrived home and saw that there were guests, she recognized them as neighbors who had been good friends with her grandmother.
"Hello, Grandma Wu, hello, Grandma Ge." Su Ti greeted them first, followed by Li Baichuan.
The border town on the other side didn't go forward; it wouldn't be appropriate for him to go ahead at this time.
"Nannan is back, and the Li family boy is here too." The two greeted Su Ti and Li Baichuan with smiles.
They were all retired members of the first cultural troupe, and their husbands were also in the military.
Like Commander Guo, he hasn't retired yet; he's still in a high position and has close ties with the Guo family.
They had all watched Su Ti grow up, and now that they saw her, they glanced at Li Baichuan following behind her; they had both met her at their wedding.
The fact that he is the only grandson of Marshal Li, the old marshal of Beijing, has spread throughout their circle.
At first, many people thought that the older generation of the Guo family was not making any progress, and the younger generation was just starting out, so they thought that things would not be easy for them in the future.
They might have been squeezed out, but who knew they'd have such an outstanding granddaughter.
This marriage is more than just a marriage of convenience. With the Li family by their side, what does it matter if the Guo family remains stagnant? They won't fall until the younger generation rises up.
Moreover, this girl is quite capable; as soon as she entered the family, she gave the Li family two boys, allowing them to establish themselves firmly.
Everyone knows what kind of situation the Li family is in. They lack nothing except children. With these two children, Su Ti can do whatever she wants in the Li family.
As for the matter of the real and fake grandsons in the Li family, there's even more to say about that. You have to admit, the granddaughter of the Guo family is quite remarkable.
The fact that she was able to spot someone before the truth came out suggests that sending her to the countryside might have been a deliberate arrangement by the Guo family.
Otherwise, how would she have had the opportunity to marry into a family in Beijing?
"Grandma, where are the two little ones?" Suti asked, noticing that the two children were not there and guessing they were sleeping.
"She just fell asleep, and your aunt is watching over her from upstairs." You can't call her the nanny directly in front of strangers; you always call her "aunt."
"Then let's go upstairs and take a look. Grandma Wu, Grandma Lu, please sit down and have dinner at home tonight."
Suti politely said something and then pulled Li Baichuan upstairs, with Biancheng following behind.
Suti found it hard to bear even the warm welcome from her elders, even just their gazes.
"You go inside and rest first. We'll go see the children. Knock on the door if you need anything." Li Baichuan made sure Biancheng was settled before going inside to see the children.
The nanny noticed them and came downstairs. Li Baichuan and Su Ti, seeing that the two children were sleeping soundly, sat down by the window to talk.
"Wife, what happened this morning? Did they find out when we beat them up last time?" Li Baichuan wanted to ask his father if he really wanted to take a son-in-law into the Guo family.
“My father almost got reported. I guess those people got anxious after I married into the Li family and wanted to take advantage of my uncle’s family.”
“With their brains, they’ll probably end up helping others count their money. My dad thinks we can’t let them stay in Shanghai.”
"Otherwise, something terrible will happen sooner or later. So we'll just outmaneuver them and get rid of their jobs."
"As for the whole 'finding a son-in-law' thing, it was just to scare them so they wouldn't dare come looking for us again. This time they'll probably behave themselves."
"Don't worry, my dad is the kind of person who, once he takes action, will see it through to the end. Once they go back to the countryside, it will be difficult for them to come back."
“They thought my dad had married into the family, so even if those people wanted to scheme against him, they wouldn’t be able to find him anymore. Besides, you don’t know my dad’s status in the Su family in the countryside.”
“If the surviving grandparents knew what they had done, their lives wouldn’t be easy. That’s what my dad thought too.”
“Without a real marriage into the family, my maternal grandparents wouldn’t agree. Besides, you probably can’t tell, but my mom loves my dad.”
"My brother and I combined are not as important as my dad. You have no idea how angry my mom was when my dad acted like that."
Suti knew he would ask, so she didn't hide anything and told him what had happened at home, so that he would know what was going on.
Unless the Guo family withdraws from the Shanghai Stock Exchange, these kinds of things will inevitably happen. When they were young, they didn't have to worry about these things.
From now on, these will be their home turf. Baichuan may not be good at them, but he cannot be ignorant of them.
"That's good. It's good that those people are gone, so they won't be a burden on the family here." Li Baichuan didn't feel sorry for them at all.
A relative who can be easily fooled into scheming against his own brother with just a few words is better off not having.
"Don't worry, these are not big problems. My dad is here. We'll know whether the Su family members have gone back or not when they come back tonight."
“This time my dad is really determined. They crossed his line, and he will definitely send them to the countryside himself this time.”
Suti knows her father well enough.
