Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 203 - 202: "Yaoyao, You’ve Been Getting More and More Unruly Lately.
"Yes, Grandpa, I understand."
"Of course, just build good relationships. If that’s not possible, then so be it." Mr. Li believed that networking with more respectable people would help in the future, rather than making Li Tingxuan lower himself, as their Li Family didn’t require such sacrifices from him.
"Grandpa, I understand."
At that moment, Li Shuyao, who had overheard their conversation, came in with a cat in her arms.
After sitting down, she murmured with dissatisfaction, "What’s so good about Gu Jia Ning? What if her results on treating tuberculosis were stolen from someone else? Isn’t Elder Chen her mentor? Maybe it was Elder Chen’s success, and it was given to Gu Jia Ning just to make her famous."
"Li Shuyao!" As soon as Li Shuyao finished murmuring, there came a stern rebuke from beside her.
Li Shuyao was startled.
The cat in her arms was also frightened.
Its sharp claws scratched the back of Li Shuyao’s hand before it jumped away.
"Ah." Li Shuyao let out a sharp scream.
Li Tingxuan looked up and saw the scratch marks on her hand from the cat, feeling a bit guilty.
However, when he thought about what Li Shuyao had just said, his brows furrowed again.
"My hand, it hurts."
"Brother, why did you scare me?"
Li Tingxuan had a stern look on his face, "Yaoyao, I know you said that because of Sheng Zexi, but a woman’s reputation is so important, as is a doctor’s. How can you slander someone like that?"
"Doctor Gu has skills, recognized by the authorities. By saying this, are you questioning the authorities? Or questioning Elder Chen? Do you know what impact your words could have on the Li Family if said outside?"
Hearing his grandson’s analysis, Mr. Li’s face also sank.
"Yaoyao, you’re becoming more and more thoughtless lately."
Actually, Mr. Li knew that this granddaughter didn’t have much ability, otherwise she wouldn’t just be staying with the art troupe.
However, he never had high expectations for this granddaughter anyway.
Since she didn’t have ability, then she could be used for marriage alliances, bringing benefits to the Li Family.
After all, as a Li Family member, all these years, Li Shuyao has enjoyed the benefits brought by the family, and it’s time for her to contribute to this family.
Mr. Li, speaking with emotion, does care; naturally, he has feelings for Li Tingxuan, whom he raised himself.
Speaking without emotion, he has little affection for this granddaughter, Li Shuyao.
In truth, for Mr. Li, the interests of the Li Family are what’s most important.
He used to have high hopes for Sheng Zexi from the Sheng Family because Sheng Zexi was a capable young man.
Given how he could climb to the deputy regiment position at such a young age, despite Sheng Xinhao’s suppression, and has remained a top soldier for several consecutive years with numerous merits, one could tell he’s not ordinary.
At the time, he thought that if Li Shuyao could marry Sheng Zexi, then her life would be secure.
This was his last bit of affection and plan for this granddaughter.
Actually, he thought Li Shuyao wasn’t worthy of someone as outstanding as Sheng Zexi.
But unexpectedly, Sheng Zexi got married himself. Initially, Mr. Li was a bit unhappy about Sheng Zexi getting married and felt that Sheng Zexi was being irrational, not considering his own future.
But now, realizing that Sheng Zexi’s wife is the famous Doctor Gu of Beijing, he thought Sheng Zexi was indeed smart.
Anyway, as long as one isn’t blind, choosing between Li Shuyao and Gu Jia Ning, they would definitely choose Gu Jia Ning.
In the hospital, Sheng Xinhao: Luckily, I’m in the hospital, and luckily, I didn’t hear what you said, or I’d wonder if you were saying I have a problem and I’m blind!
And now, hearing the granddaughter’s rumors about Gu Jia Ning, he’s even more certain that this granddaughter has no brains.
Fortunately, there’s still Li Tingxuan at home.
Also, Li Shuyao’s words just now were said only within the Li Family, but had they been said outside, it would indeed be as Li Tingxuan said—in questioning the officials and Elder Chen?
After all, Gu Jia Ning is a well-known figure among the authorities, and Elder Chen has a prestigious position and background in Beijing.
If they heard this, Li Shuyao would truly be in trouble, and even the Li Family might be affected.
Mr. Li dislikes anything or anyone that might harm the Li Family.
So this time, he’s criticizing this granddaughter as well.
As for Li Shuyao, she didn’t expect that even when she was hurt, her grandfather and brother would still speak up for Gu Jia Ning.
Is Gu Jia Ning that vixen really that good?!
Li Shuyao was so angry that she cried and ran out the door.
Li Tingxuan watched Li Shuyao’s back, his feelings very complicated.
Towards this sister, Li Tingxuan didn’t know what to say. It seemed like, from a young age, he never really connected with her or had any common topics.
But, after all, Li Shuyao is his sister, and he does feel the need to advise her.
However, he could clearly feel that Yaoyao’s feelings towards him were not close, perhaps even...
Li Tingxuan lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in them.
Just now, hearing Yaoyao’s slander against Gu Jia Ning, he was too angry and scolded her on the spot.
When it comes to matters related to Gu Jia Ning, he seems to lose control of his emotions somewhat.
However...
Li Tingxuan glanced at his grandfather; it seemed like Grandfather didn’t notice.
Indeed, Mr. Li hadn’t noticed, and even comforted Li Tingxuan, telling him not to spoil Li Shuyao too much and that she needed to be disciplined when necessary. If she goes out and causes trouble without family discipline, it might bring problems to the Li Family.
"Grandpa, I understand."
However...
Li Tingxuan thought he was about to head to the Northwest Military Region, so he wouldn’t be able to look after Li Shuyao for long.
Actually, if Li Tingxuan wanted to go to the Northwest Military Region, he could have gone a while ago.
He hasn’t gone yet because of that mission.
In the dream, in the past two lives, he was involved in this mission, and in the end, he and his comrades ended with a tragic outcome.
And his PTSD was also developed because of this.
Now that he’s applied for transfer to the Northwest Military Region, this mission wasn’t assigned to him.
However, Li Tingxuan couldn’t just ignore it.
If he ignores it, wouldn’t his comrades end up with the same outcome as in the dream?
He doesn’t want that.
They are his inseparable comrades, and they all have families, loved ones, and children.
So, if possible, Li Tingxuan wants to save their lives as much as he can.
Lately, he’s been analyzing the reasons for the mission’s failure in the dream.
The conclusion is: there were spies. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
The spies leaked secrets.
Lately, Li Tingxuan has been investigating, but hasn’t identified a precise target yet.
Li Tingxuan feels he must hurry and catch this hidden rat before going to the Northwest Military Region.
Otherwise, even if he goes to the Northwest, he would remain uneasy.
