In a supermarket, Tian Jing asked Elder Shen to put her down.
Li Zhengguo also drove the car into the supermarket parking lot.
The family of three said goodbye to Elder Shen and went shopping at the supermarket.
Each person pushed a shopping cart. Li Weili had many things she wanted to buy.
Having moved into the company's top floor, she planned to spend more time writing her graduation thesis, so she needed to stock up on food.
Tian Jing forbade her daughter from eating snacks devoid of nutrition and drinking beverages with various additives.
Li Weili herself was also worried, so she bought tea leaves and instant coffee to make her own.
Tian Jing warned her daughter, "You are not allowed to tell anyone about moving into the top floor."
The elevator to the top floor went directly from the first floor, located in another corner of the lobby.
It was not very conspicuous, but not remote either, so security was sufficient.
Li Weili nodded. After this incident, she could no longer easily trust the people around her.
"Mom, can I still use Gao Mingxiu?"
"No," Tian Jing refused. "You must cut off any ambiguity between you and men as soon as possible. Because of Lu Shi, you must be more disciplined than before."
Li Weili nodded, "I understand."
Tian Jing felt sorry for her daughter. "If you feel tired, you can hire a manager at a high salary to do the work. There's no need for you to do everything yourself."
"When the people around you cannot be trusted, you can also go back and find someone to be your assistant, to help you keep an eye on privacy everywhere."
"You can also ask Lu Shi to teach you makeup techniques to conceal your identity."
"This is a good idea!" Li Weili's eyes widened with surprise. "I like freedom, and I also like being a strong woman."
"Alright," Tian Jing comforted her daughter. "Things need to be arranged step by step. You get your graduation certificate first."
"Mhmm," Li Weili carefully selected her items. "We'll go to the fresh produce section later. Tonight, we'll have dinner together."
"We should have dinner together," Tian Jing agreed. "Why don't we buy everything at once and have the supermarket deliver it?"
"Okay," Li Weili agreed. The new house lacked all sorts of daily necessities.
Li Zhengguo had no right to object. He watched as the mother and daughter bought everything from the television in the living room to the pots and pans in the kitchen.
If the new house hadn't had furniture, they would have probably gone to buy that too.
Supermarkets offer delivery services for major customers.
However, this was the first time they encountered such a major customer who bought all their appliances, kitchenware, and various daily necessities at once.
The supermarket immediately arranged for vehicles and workers to deliver the goods to their doorstep.
Tian Jing and Li Weili went upstairs first, while Li Zhengguo accompanied the workers up and down, using the elevator card to transport the goods.
Ouyang Lei was called over to help. He was amazed by Tian Da Xia, "Did you just move the entire supermarket back?"
Tian Jing glanced at him. "Do you look down on the supermarket's inventory that much? Hurry up and help sort things out. Call your underage son over to help too."
Thus, Ouyang Renzhi became a little errand runner, placing small items wherever he was told.
Tian Jing praised him for being well-behaved and having good judgment.
Ouyang Renzhi became even more diligent.
Ouyang Lei looked on with envy. He couldn't get his own son to do anything, yet this Da Xia could make him run around.
Da Xia also reminded him that children needed praise.
Ouyang Lei strongly disagreed. If he was already flying around without praise, what would happen if he received more? Wouldn't he soar into the sky and be shoulder-to-shoulder with the sun?
After all the items were unloaded, the workers unpacked the appliances, installed them, and tested them.
Once all the appliances were working properly, Tian Jing paid the material fees, and Li Zhengguo escorted the workers and the discarded packaging downstairs.
Returning to the top floor, he then helped clean all the utensils.
They were busy until 2 p.m., even eating lunch at Ouyang Lei's place.
Li Weili's phone rang. Han Lushi was already in the lobby downstairs.
Li Zhengguo escorted his daughter downstairs. Seeing that Han Lushi had changed his disguise again, he asked, "Which face is the real you?"
"This is me. I have to use my real face to get the certificate," Han Lushi said, extending his hand to Li Weili.
"Lili, can you recognize me?"
Li Weili placed her hand in the large hand in front of her and was led to its owner.
She gazed at his true face. "Of course, I can recognize you. Your real face is the most handsome."
Han Lushi's lips curled. "I'm glad you like it, Lili."
Li Weili nodded. "I do."
Seeing his daughter being charmed by another man made Li Zhengguo's eyes ache. He gave Han Lushi his car keys. "Drive my car, it's less conspicuous."
Han Lushi took the keys. "Perfect, I took the subway here."
Li Zhengguo gave him a stern look. "Take good care of my daughter."
Han Lushi nodded emphatically. "I will, you can rest assured."
Back on the top floor, Li Zhengguo was not happy at all.
Tian Jing retorted impatiently, "We are bringing someone into the family, and you're not happy. Are you dissatisfied with Lu Shi?"
"Yes," Li Zhengguo finally spoke his mind, now that his daughter was not around. "Han Lushi is too old."
"Heh heh," Tian Jing gave him a cold laugh. "Someone is seven years older than me."
Seeing her husband's dejected expression, Tian Jing smiled and pinched his waist.
"But that someone loves and spoils me, making me never regret it."
Li Zhengguo grabbed her hand on his waist. "Wife, I am so happy to have married you. You have made my life colorful."
"Go!" Tian Jing playfully chided him. "Put the bowls and chopsticks into the disinfection cabinet, then wash, peel, and cut the vegetables. This is your colorful life."
"Yes," Li Zhengguo stood at attention and saluted. "I will strictly follow the leader's instructions."
...
Meanwhile, Li Weili and Han Lushi took their wedding photos at a photo studio near the Civil Affairs Bureau and quickly received the pictures.
Li Weili was very satisfied with the photos because Han Lushi had a clear smile.
Her eldest uncle said Han Lushi was an ice mountain, but after the initial coldness she felt from the physical education teacher, she had only experienced care and warmth.
Han Lushi was also very satisfied because Li Weili's smile was incredibly sweet.
After receiving the marriage certificate, Han Lushi excitedly embraced Li Weili.
"Lili, I have a home now."
"Mhmm," Li Weili nodded. "You have many more family members. You will come home with me later to meet them."
"Okay."
The two walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau hand in hand. Just as they reached the car, their clasped hands were separated by another hand.
Li Weili was pulled into an embrace by this hand.
The young man holding Li Weili pointed at Han Lushi and asked, "Who are you?"
"Ranan?" Li Weili looked up and playfully slapped the young man's head. "You're going to die, you dare to snatch me like this?"
"Sister," Li Weixin said aggrievedly, "You're hitting me for another man?"
Li Weili slapped him again. "What other man? This is your brother-in-law, greet him."
"I won't," Li Weixin glared at Han Lushi. "Did you coax my sister to come to the Civil Affairs Bureau? Tell me, did you get the certificate? My father will kill you, and my mother will tie you up."
"Are you stupid?" Li Weili irritably tugged at Li Weixin's ear.
"You were hiding by the car, waiting for Mom and Dad and the rest of us? Who else would you be waiting for?"
"Since we drove our own car here, don't you think Mom and Dad know?"
"Hurry and come with me to see Mom and Dad, and honestly explain why you suddenly appeared in Kyoto, and why you are here?"
"I'm not going."
Li Weixin freed his ear from his sister's hand and tried to escape, but was immediately pinned to the ground by someone.
"Holy shit!" Li Weixin cursed. "Who are you?"
Li Weili said to Han Lushi, "Get him into the car. He won't dare to make a move outside."
Li Weixin opened his mouth to call for help, but Li Weili threatened him.
"If you dare to call anyone, Mom can tie you up for ten days and ten nights. A lot has happened around me these past few days. Are you going to cause her trouble?"
A lot has happened?
Li Weixin's eyes lit up. He waved his hand at the person on his back.
"Let me go, I'll go back with you."
Han Lushi looked up at Li Weili.
Li Weili nodded. "He keeps his word. If he doesn't want to say anything, he'll do it secretly, just like he appeared here."
Han Lushi released Li Weixin.
Li Weixin got up and brushed himself off. "Sister, you know me so well, is that really okay?"
"Not only do I know you," Li Weili pointed at him. "Mom knows you too. You're done for. You just showing up here like this, without any explanation, is not going to work."
Li Weixin muttered softly, "I came out to do something, is that not allowed?"
"Do you think I'm stupid? Or do you think Mom is stupid?" Li Weili pushed him. "Get in the car quickly."
