Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 203 "Yaoyao, you've been becoming more and more immature lately."

"Yes, Grandpa, I know."

"Of course, it's just about making friends. If it can't be done, then so be it." Old Master Li felt that making friends with some good people would increase his network in the future, rather than making Li Tingxuan lower himself. The Li family didn't need Li Tingxuan to make such sacrifices.

"Grandpa, I understand."

Just then, Li Shuyao, who had overheard their conversation, came in carrying the cat.

After sitting down, he muttered with considerable dissatisfaction, "What's so great about Gu Jianing? Maybe her research on how to treat tuberculosis was stolen from someone else. Isn't Elder Chen her mentor? Maybe Elder Chen's successful research was given to Gu Jianing just to make her famous."

"Li Shuyao!" Li Shuyao had barely finished muttering when she heard a stern reprimand from the side.

Li Shuyao was immediately frightened.

The cat she was holding was also frightened.

The claws scratched the back of Li Shuyao's hand, then it hopped away.

"Ah!" Li Shuyao let out a scream.

Li Tingxuan looked up and saw the bloody scratches on the back of her hand from the cat, and felt a pang of guilt.

But when he thought about what Li Shuyao had just said, his brows furrowed again.

"My hand hurts so much."

"Brother, why are you scaring me?"

Li Tingxuan said with a stern face, "Yaoyao, I know you said that because of Sheng Zexi, but how important is a woman's reputation, and how important is a doctor's reputation? How can you slander others like this?"

"Dr. Gu is capable, and that's officially recognized. Are you questioning the authorities or Old Chen by saying this? Do you know what kind of impact your words will have on the Li family if they're said outside?"

When Old Li heard his grandson's analysis, his face darkened.

"Yaoyao, you've been becoming more and more immature lately."

Actually, Old Li knew that his granddaughter didn't have much talent, otherwise she wouldn't have just stayed in the performing arts troupe.

However, he didn't have high expectations for this granddaughter to begin with.

Since they lack ability themselves, let's use them for marriage alliances to bring benefits to the Li family.

After all, as a member of the Li family, Li Shuyao has enjoyed the benefits brought by the Li family over the years, and it is her duty to contribute to the family.

Old Master Li, it's true that he has feelings for Li Tingxuan, whom he raised.

He was indeed heartless; his feelings for his granddaughter, Li Shuyao, were pitifully few.

In truth, the interests of the Li family are the most important thing to Old Master Li.

Previously, he had high hopes for Sheng Zexi from the Sheng family, after all, Sheng Zexi was a capable junior.

Just look at how he managed to climb to the position of deputy regimental commander at such a young age, even under Sheng Xinhao's suppression, and how he was able to be the king of soldiers for several consecutive years, earning a lot of merits. You can tell that he is no ordinary person.

At the time, he thought that if Li Shuyao could marry Sheng Zexi, then Li Shuyao would be worry-free for the rest of her life.

This was the only affection he had left for his granddaughter, and also his only plan.

Actually, he felt that Li Shuyao was not good enough for the outstanding Sheng Zexi.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Zexi got married. Originally, Old Li was somewhat unhappy about Sheng Zexi's marriage, and felt that Sheng Zexi was irrational and did not think about his own future.

But now, thinking that Sheng Zexi's wife is the renowned Dr. Gu from the entire capital, he feels that Sheng Zexi is indeed very clever.

Anyway, anyone who isn't blind would definitely choose Gu Jianing over Li Shuyao.

Sheng Xinhao in the hospital: Luckily I'm in the hospital, luckily I didn't know what you said, otherwise I would have suspected you were calling me mentally ill and blind!

Hearing his granddaughter's lies about Gu Jianing, he became even more convinced that his granddaughter was brainless.

Fortunately, Li Tingxuan is still at home. And Li Shuyao's words were only spoken within the Li family. If they were spoken to outsiders, would they really be seen as questioning the authorities and Elder Chen, as Li Tingxuan suggested?
After all, Gu Jianing is a well-known figure in the government, and Old Chen has a wide-ranging influence and background in Beijing.

If they hear this, Li Shuyao will be in real trouble, and even the Li family could be affected.

Old Master Li disliked anything or anyone that could harm the Li family.

Therefore, he criticized his granddaughter this time as well.

Li Shuyao was surprised that even though she was injured, her grandfather and brother still spoke up for Gu Jianing.

Is that vixen Gu Jianing really that good?!
Li Shuyao was so angry that she cried and ran out of the house.

Li Tingxuan watched Li Shuyao's retreating figure, his feelings quite complicated.

Li Tingxuan didn't know what to say about his younger sister. It seemed that he and his sister had never been able to talk to each other since childhood, and they had no common topics.

However, Li Shuyao is his sister after all, so he will still give her some pointers.

However, he could clearly sense that Yao Yao wasn't close to him, her older brother, and even...

Li Tingxuan lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions within them.

He was so angry when he heard Yao Yao's rumors about Gu Jianing that he immediately scolded her.

When it came to Gu Jianing, he seemed to lose control of his emotions.

but……

Li Tingxuan looked up at his grandfather, who seemed not to have noticed.

The old man indeed didn't notice, and even comforted Li Tingxuan, telling him not to spoil Li Shuyao too much, and that she should be disciplined when necessary. If they didn't discipline her, Li Shuyao would run wild outside and cause trouble for the Li family.

"Grandpa, I know."

but……

Li Tingxuan thought that he was about to go to the Northwest Military Region, and he probably wouldn't be able to take care of Li Shuyao for much longer.

In fact, if Li Tingxuan wanted to go to the Northwest Military Region, he could have gone long ago.

He hasn't gone yet because of that mission.

In his dream, he participated in this mission in both his previous two lives, and in the end, he and his comrades met a tragic end.

And that's how he developed PTSD.

Now, he has been transferred to the Northwest Military Region, but this task has not been assigned to him.

However, Li Tingxuan could not ignore it.

If he doesn't care, won't his comrades meet the same fate as in the dream?

He doesn't want that.

Those were his close comrades-in-arms; they all had families, lovers, and children.

Therefore, if possible, Li Tingxuan wanted to save their lives as much as possible.

He has been analyzing why the mission in the dream failed recently.

The final conclusion was that there were enemy agents.

The enemy's spies were lying in wait, and they leaked the secret.

Li Tingxuan has been investigating recently, but he hasn't found out who it is yet.

Li Tingxuan felt he had to hurry and catch this rat in the shadows before he went to the Northwest Military Region.

Otherwise, even if he went to the Northwest Military Region, he would still be restless and unable to eat or sleep.
