When Sun Bailing and Shen Suyin arrived home, the atmosphere in the living room was oppressive.
Gu Xiu sat next to Cheng Yi, sobbing incessantly. Across the sofa, Luo Shicheng and Hua Li flanked Xiao Xiu, their faces cold and distant.
"Grandpa and Grandma..."
Luo Yan, who was playing cat's cradle with Xu Tianzhong, ran over and reached out to Shen Suyin.
Shen Suyin snorted and ignored her. Sun Bailing bent down, picked up Luo Yan, and glared coldly at Cheng Yi and his wife.
Cheng Yi pulled Gu Xiu to her feet and politely greeted Sun Bailing.
"Commander Sun, Gu Xiu and I deeply regret not taking good care of Dehuai. We really know we were wrong. Could you let Dehuai come back with me? I promise we will only treat Dehuai well from now on."
Sun Bailing frowned. "Don't you have another son? You don't need to worry about Xiao Xiu."
Cheng Yi said earnestly, "Cheng Yichen has already moved out of our household registration. From now on, we will only have one son, Dehuai."
Sun Bailing pondered for a moment, then asked Xiaoxiu, "Xiaoxiu, do you want to go back?"
Xiao Xiu still says the same thing: "If they can transfer my household registration back, I'll go back; if they can't, I won't go back."
Minister Liang was fully aware of what Cheng Yi and his wife had done; Cheng Yi was courting death if he dared to go to their house to request a change of household registration.
Xiao Xiu couldn't possibly defy his parents on his own, but now he has Aunt Hua and Uncle Luo by his side, his maternal grandfather Chen, and his great-grandfather Liang, who lives far away in Beijing but is willing to accept him, so he's not afraid.
Cheng Yi finally realized that his son would not be coming back, and that they had brought it all upon themselves.
Supporting Gu Xiu, who was crying her eyes out, Cheng Yi walked heavily towards the door.
"etc……"
When Shen Suyin spoke, Cheng Yi and his wife stopped and looked at her with hopeful eyes.
Shen Suyin said, word by word, "You are not welcome in my home, and you are not allowed to come here again."
Cheng Yi looked at Sun Bailing with surprise.
Sun Bailing: "My wife makes the decisions, and I listen to her."
Isn't Commander Sun's wife Xiao Rong? Even if Xiao Rong is imprisoned, you can't just pick any woman and call her your wife, can you? Gu Xiu said.
"Sir, this isn't appropriate..."
Sun Bailing's face darkened. "Ms. Shen is my first wife. What's wrong with that?"
The original wife?! Cheng Yi and Gu Xiu were shocked, shut their mouths and left.
Shen Suyin disdainfully ordered the couple as they walked away, "People who can't distinguish between inside and outside the family are not allowed to come in again, lest they affect the family's reputation."
Sun Bailing asked in surprise, "You know them?"
Shen Suyin said arrogantly, "Isn't it just that you're so biased that you want to take a pill to regret it? I'm not stupid, I can tell."
"Miss is so clever."
I've never seen Sun Bailing so obsequious; it's truly unbearable to watch. Yet, the person involved remains oblivious and solemnly announces it.
“From now on, Su Yin will be the head of the household. If Su Yin says that Cheng Yi and his wife are not allowed to enter the house, then they can no longer be allowed to enter.”
Aunt Shi and Aunt Zheng responded.
Sun Bailing nodded, then helped Shen Suyin upstairs.
"Miss, you must be tired. I've already asked Xiao Chen to buy a new bed for you. Go and see if you like it."
Before she could finish speaking, the living room phone rang loudly. Hua Li answered it, and a strange man's voice came through.
"Let that bastard Sun Bailing answer the phone for me..."
The sound, like a lion's roar, made Hua Li's ears ring.
As Shen Suyin walked upstairs, she heard the phone and turned back to take it from Hua Li.
"Brother, I'm going to live here from now on and not go back. Also, Ah Ling and I have registered our marriage. If you object again, you're ruining a military marriage."
After saying that, Shen Suyin hung up the phone, and the phone rang again.
Shen Suyin answered the call.
"Little sister, I'm here to deliver a gift to you and the man surnamed Sun. Please give me your address."
Sun Bailing leaned close to the microphone and said, "Brother-in-law, Su Yin and I are getting married next month. If you're free, please come over."
"Hold a wedding?" Shen Suyin asked, puzzled.
Sun Bailing gazed tenderly at Shen Suyin, "Back then, I couldn't give you a proper wedding, and now people still think my wife is..."
My lady cannot suffer the slightest grievance, so the wedding must take place. I want everyone to know that my wife, Sun Bailing's wife, is only Shen Suyin, and can only be Shen Suyin.
Shen Suyin was stunned for a moment, then sighed.
"Ah Ling, you're right, I'm the one who made you suffer."
After saying that, Shen Suyin picked up the phone and dialed an international number.
When the call connected, Shen Suyin calmly said, "Brother, you can either attend my funeral or my wedding. Let me know when you and my second and third brothers have made your choice."
After a three-second silence, the other person resignedly replied, "Let me know when you've set a wedding date."
Although it wasn't Sun Bailing and Shen Suyin's wedding day, it felt like a wedding day. Luo Shicheng, Hua Li, and Xu Tianzhong, along with Xiao Xiu and Luo Yan, stayed in the living room instead of going upstairs, leaving the space to the couple who had been separated for decades.
After seeing Cheng Yi and his wife, Xiao Xiu's fever completely subsided, but she was still not very energetic and lay on the sofa in a daze.
Hua Li walked over and touched Xiao Xiu's forehead. The fever had subsided. Remembering that Xiao Xiu hadn't eaten much dinner, she asked Xiao Xiu about it.
"What would you like to eat, Xiao Xiu?"
Xiao Xiu felt a bit tasteless, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "I want to drink Aunt Hua's grape juice."
Hua Li not only has grape juice in her family's cellar, but she also brought two jars over here.
It was getting late outside, so Luo Shicheng got up to go to the vegetable cellar in the backyard to get grape juice. Xu Tianzhong wanted to go with him, but Luo Shicheng refused.
Luo Yan followed, and Luo Shicheng picked her up and walked out the back door.
The entrance to the vegetable cellar was inside the warehouse, so Luo Shicheng opened the warehouse door and went inside.
Luo Yan was in charge of shining the flashlight, while Luo Shicheng went down into the cellar and brought up a jar of grape juice. The father and daughter then came out of the storeroom.
Luo Shicheng locked the door. Suddenly, Luo Yan heard a noise from the base of the wall. She took a pebble out of her bag and threw it over, letting out a cry of "Ouch!"
Luo Shicheng picked up Luo Yan and stuffed her into the storeroom, then cautiously walked towards the base of the wall.
“It’s me…” Xiang Yu emerged from the shadows with a pale face, looking timidly at Luo Shicheng.
"How did you get in?" Luo Shicheng demanded sternly.
Xiang Yu cried, "Don't shout. I jumped over the wall to get in. I know I'm unforgivable. I just want to see my mother one last time. Please grant my request."
"You can see me, but first come with me to turn yourself in."
As he spoke, Luo Shicheng stepped forward to grab Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu pulled open his coat, revealing the explosives strapped to his body.
Tears welled in Xiang Yu's eyes, but she gave a sly smile as if her expression had suddenly changed.
“I heard that this is how Sun Bailing’s adopted son dealt with him. I think this is a good idea.”
Seeing the explosives on Xiang Yu's body and the fuse in his hand, Luo Shicheng took a few steps back, wanting to go back into the house to warn everyone to evacuate, but was stopped by Xiang Yu's chuckling.
"Even if you detonate the explosives on my body here, it would be enough to destroy the entire building, so you'd better behave yourself."
"What do you want?" Luo Shicheng stood still, his gaze sweeping over Luo Yan, who had silently walked out of the warehouse.
"Have Shen Suyin convert all her assets into cash and deposit it into the bank account I designate, then charter a plane to send me abroad, and I'll spare your lives."
Luo Shicheng pretended to be in a difficult position, "I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll have her come down and talk to you right away..."
Xiang Yu sneered, "Don't try any tricks on me. Let me tell you, I'm not alone. Anyone who dares to mess around, bullets don't have eyes."
