The husband frowned and said, "You women, all you do all day is buy things."
Sui Zili peeled an apple with a fruit knife and handed it to her husband, asking tentatively: "What is the current situation? My eldest brother..."
The husband raised his hand to interrupt her and said in a deep voice, "How many times have I told you not to mention your elder brother? If I wasn't lucky, I would have been in jail by now. Your elder brother should just stay at home and enjoy his retirement. Also, don't meet him, lest he bring me trouble."
Sui Zili's eyes turned red, and she said angrily: "You are too inhumane, aren't you? If you weren't my eldest brother, would you have your current position?"
The husband glared at Sui Zili and sneered, "Yes, I am all thanks to your Sui family, so every time I come to your house, I have to bow and scrape like a scabby dog and fawn on your brother? But that was only in the past. From now on, I have severed my relationship with the Sui family, so don't expect me to fawn on you and your brother like before."
Sui Zili was so angry that she slammed the apple and the fruit knife on the coffee table, turned around and went into the bedroom, sat on the bed and wiped her tears. After more than ten minutes, her husband came in and said in a gentle tone: "Wife, I apologize for what happened just now, but please understand me, because I have long been the target of public criticism because of your brother's matter. I am not having a good time at work either. When others see me, they avoid me like a fly."
Sui Zili raised her eyelids, nodded, and said, "Husband, I know you are in a difficult situation and holding your breath. But believe me, the Sui family will definitely have a chance to make a comeback. Just be patient for a while, okay?"
The husband sighed and said with a wry smile, "I'm already at the age limit. If nothing like this happens, I will basically retire at the department level. Now, it's just accelerating the time of retirement. As for you, don't bother with it. The momentum of the Su family will not change in the next five to ten years."
Sui Zili shook her head and said, "Everything depends on human effort. We can't let down our guard easily. The Sui family has a strong foundation and still has a lot of hidden strength..."
The husband waved his hand and sighed, "Let's not discuss this any further. Go and cook. Our son will be home soon."
He has seen too many ups and downs in officialdom. Now that the situation is hopeless, he still wants to turn the tide, which will only lead to disastrous failure.
Sui Zili sighed, walked into the kitchen and started to get busy. Her husband looked at her back with a complicated look in his eyes.
In his eyes, Sui Zili is a good wife and mother who takes good care of him both inside and outside.
His career path was relatively smooth. Even when his brother-in-law Sui Ziqing got into trouble, he was still safe and sound because he never accepted bribes, thus creating an image of integrity.
But the family always needs expenses, so most of the income comes from Sui Zili's investment. Although she makes a lot of money, Sui Zili always maintains a virtuous attitude in front of him, which makes him very satisfied.
Now that the Sui family is in trouble, her husband asked Sui Zili to stay away, in fact, it was also to protect her. After all, Sui Zili did not make so much money by wind, but part of it was obtained by using the resources of the Sui family and playing tricks. If we investigate carefully, Sui Zili may also be implicated.
But Sui Zili didn't seem to understand the current situation and still had a lucky mentality, which made him feel a little bad. In his wife's eyes, he might have become a person who could hardly achieve great things, but wasn't it good to live an ordinary life
When the son came back, lunch was ready. He looked at the table which was full of vegetarian dishes and showed disappointment on his face. Sui Zili smiled and said, "You are too fat, so you must lose weight. I'm going to make a phone call. You can eat first and don't have to wait for me."
After her husband and son sat at the table, Sui Zili took off her apron, walked to the balcony, called Sui Qi, and asked with concern: "Qi Qi, have you had lunch?"
"Aunt, I'm eating. Is there anything I can help you with?" Sui Qi was sitting in the office at the moment, correcting documents. She had become accustomed to irregular meals.
"Nothing, I just wanted to check on you." Sui Zili smiled faintly, "By the way, I heard from Shao Bin that he gets along well with you. I'm now thinking about when to have our two families have a meal together."
Sui Qi frowned and sighed, "Aunt, I told you last time that I am focusing all my energy on work now and don't have much time to deal with these things. Shao Bin is a good person, so I won't delay him."
Sui Zili frowned and said in a deep voice: "Qi Qi, you can't be so willful. If it weren't for you, the Sui family wouldn't have fallen into the current situation."
She paused, realizing that her words were a bit too harsh, and said in a gentle tone, "Qi Qi, Shao Bin is a young leader that the Ye family focuses on training. Although he has been married once before, his future achievements will not be inferior to Wang Guofeng. You will definitely not go wrong if you stay with him."
Sui Qi sighed deeply and said, "I don't want to rely on others, I only want to rely on myself."
Sui Zili waved her hand and interrupted her, saying, "For the sake of the family, for yourself, and for your father, you must be obedient. If you and Shao Bin can have a good result, then your father will have a chance to stand up. Are you still thinking about that ruthless person in the Su family?"
Sui Qi was speechless and had no choice but to say, "You can arrange it!"
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Sui Qi fell into deep thought. Although she knew that her current state was extremely wrong, she still had to distort her heart and soul to do things she didn't want to do.
Sui Qi must force herself to get out of that wrong emotional path, at any cost.
Chapter 1087: Brilliant Fireworks
Some people compare love to a cult because there are too many similarities.
For example, they asked believers to sever ties with their relatives and friends. Sui Qi, for Fang Zhicheng's sake, ignored her family's advice and went to Huainan to develop. She originally had better opportunities for training.
Another example is that she requires everyone to have consistent thoughts and behaviors. When she falls madly in love with someone, her thoughts and behaviors gradually become the same as his. She often puts herself in his shoes and even if he hurts her, she can't help but find all kinds of excuses to shirk and prevaricate for him.
Another example is that once you join, you are not allowed to quit. Once you fall in love, you will never think of quitting, and you will not allow the other person to quit.
Unfortunately, it was all an illusion. Sui Qi felt that she was extremely ridiculous. From the beginning to the end, Fang Zhicheng had no intention of entering the cult of love with her. When faced with family interests, he betrayed her without hesitation.
Shao Bin called and said with a deep laugh, "Mayor Sui, are you free now?"
Sui Qi sighed secretly and responded: "Still busy, what's the matter?"
Shao Bin was silent for a few seconds, then said, "The signal from your end doesn't seem to be very good. I can't hear it clearly."
Sui Qi frowned and said, "Then I'll hang up the phone and talk to you again when the signal is better next time."
Shao Bin was speechless for a while, then smiled and said, "How about you try another place, like walking to the corridor."
Sui Qi suddenly realized that there was something else going on, so he came to the corridor and said, "I'm already in the corridor, you can solve the mystery."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud noise from below and fireworks shot up into the sky. Although it was daytime, the splendor of the fireworks could still be seen.
Sui Qi opened the window on the corridor and looked into the courtyard. There were heart-shaped flowers placed in the middle. A man in a suit was holding a rose in one hand, looking at her affectionately, and holding a mobile phone in the other hand. He smiled and said, "This is a surprise I prepared for you."
Sui Qi frowned and sighed, "Are you crazy? This is the city government compound. If you make such a big noise, it will cause a bad impact if it gets out."
Shao Bin shook his head and said firmly: "Sui Qi, I don't want to be sneaky. I want to tell everyone that my love for you is vigorous and vigorous. Come down quickly, otherwise, I will wait for you here forever."
