After being reborn, my sister insisted on marrying me.

After Su Lai told Chen Xinyi about her grandfather's plans.

Mr. Chen kept urging her to bring her cousin to his house, as if he were pressuring her to do something drastic.

Left with no other choice, Sulei called her grandfather to confirm.

Her grandfather simply said, "Take her along; it's good for the young people to experience it for themselves."

This is pressure from both sides.

Sulei had no choice but to set off.

She went to Su Mo's school first.

Su Mo is in Class 7 of Senior Three at Yanjing No. 4 Middle School.

Su Lai parked her car at the school gate and sent Su Mo a WeChat message:

"Momo, I'm at your school gate, come out for a moment."

More than ten minutes passed.

A small, thin figure, wrapped up like a ball, walked out of the school gate.

In late November, Beijing was freezing cold.

Su Mo was wearing a school uniform, with a sweater or down jacket stuffed inside, and a light gray scarf wrapped around her, making her look like a rice dumpling.

She was not tall, about 1.6 meters, with a slender figure and milky skin.

Her features are very delicate, the kind of beauty that is not aggressive at all.

She has big eyes and long eyelashes, and always looks at people timidly.

Like a startled little rabbit, or... a little turtle?

She walked to Sulei's car, knocked on the window, and said softly, "Sister."

Sulei rolled down the car window, looked at her like this, and sighed inwardly.

That's just his personality.

That's the aura he exudes.

Once you enter Wei Yi's wolf den, you'll probably be left with nothing but bones.

"Get in the car, I'll take you to lunch."

"oh."

Su Mo obediently walked around to the passenger side, opened the car door and sat down, her movements very careful, as if afraid of breaking something.

Sulei started the car and glanced at her in the rearview mirror: "How's your studies going lately?"

"Not bad...top 50 in the grade in the mock exam."

"Not bad."

Sulei sincerely praised them, saying they were in the top 50 at No. 4 High School, and asked, "Which university do you want to apply to?"

"I haven't decided yet...maybe Renmin University, or Beijing Normal University."

Why these two?

"Because... my parents want me to choose these two." Su Mo's voice trailed off, and she lowered her head.

Sulei tightened her grip on the steering wheel.

She suddenly understood why her grandfather had chosen Su Mo.

This child is so well-behaved.

So well-behaved it breaks your heart.

My parents work in other cities, and I study at Yenching University alone. I live in a boarding school and can only leave the school gate once every two weeks.

She has no one to talk to most of the time, and her only support is her grandparents.

But her grandfather passed away last year.

Her grandmother also went this year.

If a child like that really marries Wei Yi...

At least I won't be bullied.

Because Wei Yi, although he's a bit eccentric, is genuinely good to his own people.

And Chen Xinyi.

Although he's a bit perverted, he's really good to girls.

Su Lai drove to a Cantonese restaurant, parked the car, and took Su Mo inside.

After ordering the food, she watched Su Mo sip her tea slowly, and after a long pause, she finally spoke: "Mo Mo, I have a question for you."

"Hmm?" Su Mo looked up at her with her big eyes.

Have you ever been in a relationship?

Su Mo's face flushed red instantly, and she shook her head vigorously: "No, no! I've never been in a relationship!"

"Is there anyone you like?"

"No..." Su Mo's voice was barely audible. "Cousin, why are you asking this?"

"Just asking." Sulei took a sip of tea, feigning nonchalance. "So, what are your requirements for a future boyfriend?"

Su Mo tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said seriously, "As long as you're good to me."

That's it?

"Hmm...and they also need to be good-looking."

Her face flushed again. "Am I being too superficial?"

"No, it's normal." Su Lai thought to herself, Wei Yi's face was a perfect match.

Moreover, she herself felt that she was quite superficial in this regard.

She then asked, "What if... I mean, what if there's a man who's very handsome and capable, but he already has several women in his life? Would you be willing to be with him?"

Su Mo was stunned.

She blinked, seemingly not understanding the question.

After several seconds, she cautiously asked, "Cousin, who...is this person you're talking about?"

"I don't care who it is, I'm just asking if you're willing or not."

Su Mo lowered her head, twisting the edge of her scarf with her fingers, thinking for a long time.

Then she looked up, her eyes filled with a firmness Sulei had never seen before: "If he's good to me, I'm willing."

Sulei: "..."

She almost choked on her tea.

"Are you serious?"

"Um."

Su Mo nodded. "Sister, I know I'm timid and can't do anything right. If there's someone who's strong, can protect me, and is good to me... even if he has other people around him, it won't matter to me."

She paused, then added, "Besides, my great-grandfather said that a capable man will never have only one woman by his side."

Sulei was completely speechless.

Good guy.

Grandpa must have brainwashed Su Mo a long time ago?

Looking at Su Mo's stunningly beautiful yet innocent face, she suddenly realized that the task was much easier than she had imagined.

Su Mo didn't need any ideological work done by her at all.

The child had already agreed halfway.

The problem lies with Wei Yi.

And then there's Chen Xinyi's side.

After dinner, Su Lai drove Su Mo back to school and then drove to Palm Springs.

When Sulai entered, Jin Shilin was sitting cross-legged on the sofa eating an apple, while Lin Siyan was flipping through a book at the dining table.

Chen Xinyi opened the door for her herself. "You're here?!"

Old Chen kept looking behind her, and when he didn't see anyone, he frowned, "Where is she?!"

"Um..." Sulei scratched her head, "She's been sent back to school. She has classes this afternoon."

"I've been urging you for days. You treated someone to a meal and then sent it back?"

"I was just testing the waters first!"

For some reason, Su Lai felt immense pressure when facing Chen Xinyi.

The feeling Chen Xinyi gave her was almost exactly the same as Wu Zhenhe's.

The problem is that Wu Zhenhe has powerful connections.

Chen Xinyi doesn't have that.

She herself didn't understand.

Chen Xinyi pressed for answers.

Sulai guiltily recounted the conversation she and her sister had at the Cantonese restaurant.

Chen Xinyi laughed after hearing this: "This child is more insightful than I was. You can go now."

Sulei: "!!!"

"Go and pick her up."

"Huh? Now? She has class this afternoon..."

"By the time you get there, she'll have already attended one or two classes. She has two more classes this afternoon, PE and art. Missing one or two won't be a problem. You can take her home tonight."

Chen Xinyi smiled, "Send her a WeChat message and tell her to come over for dinner."

Sulei opened her mouth, but couldn't refute it.

This woman even knows Su Mo's class schedule.

An hour and a half later.

Su Mo stood at the entrance of the Palm Springs apartment building, her down jacket hood pulled up over her head, curled up into a small ball, like a little rabbit or... a little turtle that had been led to unfamiliar territory.

"Sister, where is this...?"

"My boss's house," Sulei said, forcing a smile. "It's the house of the person I mentioned at noon."

Su Mo's eyes widened suddenly.

The door opened.

Chen Xinyi stood at the door wearing a beige loungewear dress, her smile as warm as the heating in December.

"Momo, is this you? Come in quickly."

She took Su Mo's hand and pulled her into the house, rubbing her cold fingers: "Your hands are so cold, Lai Lai didn't even put gloves on you."

Sulei rolled her eyes at him from behind.

Jin Shilin leaned closer, smiling as she looked her over: "Hello, my name is Jin Shilin, you're so cute."

Su Mo blushed: "Hello..."

Lin Siyan closed the book and nodded from afar, "Lin Siyan."

At that moment, the study door opened.

Wei Yi's hair was a little messy. When he saw Su Mo in the entryway, he paused for a moment, then smiled.

"You must be Momo?"

He walked over, his voice soft, "Hello, I'm Wei Yi. Are you cold on the way?"

Su Mo looked up at him, paused, her face flushed red from her ears to her neck, her lips moved but she couldn't utter a single word.

Chen Xinyi defuses the situation: "Let's rest for a bit, then eat. Momo, sit next to me, okay? You're so cute!"

Dinner was very plentiful.

Chen Xinyi kept putting food on Su Mo's plate, while Jin Shilin poured her juice.

Lin Siyan is a woman of few words.

But Sister Lin quietly took a piece of shrimp and scrambled eggs from a plate with a small turtle and placed it in front of her.

Wei Yi didn't say much, only occasionally asking, "Is the food to your liking?" or "Is the heating warm enough?"

Su Mo lowered her head and ate her rice in small bites, her eyes feeling a little hot for some reason.

She left her parents and stayed in Yanjing for three years.

Apart from her deceased grandparents, no one had ever treated her like this.

After dinner, Chen Xinyi chatted with her, asking if studying was tiring and which university she wanted to attend.

Su Mo was timid at first, but gradually relaxed and her voice became louder.

It's still very quiet.

Wei Yi placed a glass of hot milk in front of her: "Drinking a glass of milk at night is good for your skin."

Su Mo held the warm cup in both hands and said softly, "Thank you."

She glanced up at him, then quickly looked down again, her face turning red.

But the corners of his mouth turned up.

Sulei watched from the side, her feelings complicated.

She had thought that Momo would be trembling with fear if she entered a wolf's den.

As it turns out, Chen Xinyi is so cunning... she's too good at it.

She herself didn't say anything.

Jin Shilin is passionate, Lin Siyan is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and even Wei Yi, that scoundrel, speaks to her more gently than to anyone else.

It was said that there was no rehearsal and Chen Xinyi had not made any arrangements.

Sulei didn't believe it at all.

But now, Sulei suddenly felt that her grandfather might be right.

This child will probably never suffer any injustice in this family.

Of course.

The premise is that her grandfather is still alive.

Or perhaps her father, uncles, or other relatives can support the family.
