Marshal Li was actually very familiar with Qi Bowen's affairs; how could he not know where he was?
He had already received the news the moment he set foot on the land of Beijing.
He didn't use harsh methods so that he could experience what it's like to fall from grace.
After all, if you're harboring resentment and plotting against others, you might come up with all sorts of underhanded tricks. Instead of constantly being on guard, it's better to resolve things once and for all.
And his daughter, he wanted to see what else she could do.
The old marshal not only wanted to send these two far away, but also to suppress them so much that they could never rise again.
But he wanted to leave himself an out; he didn't want outsiders to think he was disregarding the debt of gratitude he owed his grandson.
Those words might not have reached his ears, but they were quite a blow to the two children who had just arrived in Beijing.
He didn't want his two children to be pointed at and gossiped about by outsiders. No matter how wrong they were, Li Ci was Bai Chuan's biological mother.
No matter what he does, it's inappropriate. Only he can play the bad guy. His daughter is beyond saving.
"Get some rest, and report for duty tomorrow." After the meal, Marshal Li, remembering that the two of them would be going to work the next day, urged them to go upstairs to rest.
Suti smiled and nodded; he was worried that she would be too tired from being pregnant.
She knew in her heart that he arranged for her to be in Qi Bowen's position not only to have her support the Li family, but also because it was a quiet place that would be good for her to take care of her pregnancy.
Since the two came to the house, the Li family has been filled with warmth. Although there was no laughter and joy, the family members got along very harmoniously.
From initial caution to later progress, with each of you taking a step further and him taking a step further, testing each other out, and then accepting each other.
Except for the elderly Mrs. Kang who was staying at her son's house for a short time, everything was warm and cozy.
Speaking of Grandma Kang, she inexplicably rushed back overnight today.
However, he seemed to have become much more obedient. After finishing his meal, he went inside without saying a word, which made him seem out of place in the house.
Suti felt that this was much better than she had imagined. Whether it was on the surface or not, at least everyone got along quite well.
"Grandpa, Dad, you should get some rest too." Wei Baichuan could call him "Dad" without any difficulty.
There wasn't much nighttime entertainment, so after dinner we'd chat for a bit and then go back to our own rooms.
Only when they returned to the house did the two of them truly relax, and they were most at ease with each other.
There's no need to consider gains or losses, no need to consider whether it's pleasing or not.
"Wife, are we still going to move out?" Wei Baichuan felt a little strange thinking about Qi Feng's red eyes earlier.
"We still have to move. We need our own space, and our workplace is probably quite far from here, which is inconvenient."
Suti never intended to live with the elderly forever. It had nothing to do with whether they treated her well or not; she just felt more at ease having her own home.
“Okay, I’ll work hard and find a way to make money so we can buy a big house in Beijing.” Wei Baichuan listened to his wife completely.
Actually, he also wanted to move out; he wanted to live a life of just the two of them with his wife.
“I have money. Speaking of which, I'd like to discuss this with you. I'm thinking of buying a house, and I'd like you to keep an eye out for me.”
"After you start working, you'll meet more people. Ask around and see if anyone in the area is selling a house. It doesn't matter what the location is, as long as the size is big enough."
Suti only had a general understanding of the houses in Beijing, knowing that they would be speculated to skyrocket in price, but she had not studied which locations were suitable.
But now, you're guaranteed to make a profit no matter where you buy it.
She had made up her mind that when the policy changed and land was contracted out to individual households and could be traded freely, she would buy some land.
Buy some shares in both the Shanghai and Beijing stock markets; this is a sure way to make a profit.
“Okay.” As long as his wife said it, it was never wrong, and Wei Baichuan didn’t think there was anything wrong with using his wife’s money.
He will find ways to make up for his shortcomings, and his former inferiority complex has long since faded away.
What he thinks about most now is how to make more money.
"Baichuan, what are your plans regarding Qi Bowen?" Su Ti had guessed that Qi Bowen was still in Beijing when the old marshal told her to take his place.
She thought the old marshal had intervened and sent the person back, but it seems she was overthinking it; the person is still perfectly fine in Beijing.
“I originally thought that if that person went back to Yangliu Brigade, we wouldn’t need to take action. Just look at the state of the Wei family now, he can’t stand that kind of life for even a day.”
"What could be more unbearable than living in utter darkness? The fall of a once-proud star into the mud is far more agonizing than a quick death."
"But now it seems that some people still have old feelings and can't bring themselves to be ruthless, so it's hard to say."
Wei Baichuan didn't say who it was, but Su Ti knew he was referring to Marshal Li. After all, he could disregard Qi Bowen, but didn't he still have his own daughter?
“If that’s the case, we might have to confront someone sooner or later.” Suti frowned.
"Don't worry, since we're here, I was prepared for this. We don't know who will suffer the consequences." Wei Baichuan couldn't bear to see his wife looking so worried.
“That’s true.” Su Ti knew that Qi Bowen’s confidence now came from Li Ci, and the only tricks he could use were to play the emotional card. In the end, it would be a matter of who would give more weight to which.
Anyway, they've always held back, so even if they're really disappointed, they won't be upset.
Marshal Li was unaware of the depth of their thoughts. One side was concerned about their reputation, while the other was driven by a soft heart, leading to a misunderstanding between them.
The misunderstanding worsened the next day, almost causing all their efforts to go to waste.
The next morning, Suti and Wei Baichuan got up very early, as the new job was a challenge for both of them.
They were mentally prepared for everything, but they never expected that their good mood would still be completely ruined.
"Grandpa, let me in! Grandpa, Grandpa, please go see Mom, she's sick, Grandpa, Grandpa..."
The family had just sat down at the dining table and hadn't even taken a few bites when a commotion broke out outside.
Suti and Wei Baichuan exchanged a glance. Sure enough, what was bound to happen had happened.
"Xiao Liu, go see what's going on?" Marshal Li put down his chopsticks and glanced at the two children first.
Finally, the guards standing at the door were sent out to check, while Qi Feng on the other side remained silent.
Xiao Liu returned shortly after going out and went up to the old marshal to explain why Qi Bowen had come.
"He said his mother was sick, very sick." Xiao Liu originally wanted to address her as Comrade Li Ci, but then remembered that Marshal Li had forbidden her from using the surname Li, and couldn't think of a proper way to address her.
Anyway, if I say it like this, the old marshal will definitely understand what I mean.
"Oh? Sick? That's quite a coincidence." Marshal Li snorted, not even lifting his eyelids.
