The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

Li Yuanchao wasn't annoyed and continued eating at his own pace.

"Didn't Tian Tian tell you everything that happened? Do you think she can adapt to life in our family?"

"Do you think I can just dump Tian Tian at home and never care about her again?"

After listening to the barrage of questions, Li Tian secretly gave her father a thumbs up.

Once a man has figured things out, he becomes incredibly rational and clear-headed.

Li Siwen also had her own thoughts: "Brother, it's hard for a girl who has never been married or had children to adapt to the role of a stepmother all at once. You can't expect too much from her."

"That's not the point," Li Yuanchao said, waving his chopsticks.

"It's okay if she doesn't do well, as long as she has the will. We don't expect her to treat Tian Tian as her own daughter, that would be asking the impossible and goes against human nature."

"If you accept me, you have to accept Tian Tian's existence and maintain good family relationships."

Li Siwen pouted; she simply couldn't do it.

"Wenqing can't be my good wife. I don't have the energy to provide the romantic and whimsical things she likes, so we're not a good match. If we're not a good match, we should break up sooner rather than later."

Li Siwen agreed, but still said, "Brother, you're so cold-blooded."

"Then what should we do? Drag it out for a year or two, maintaining a lingering, ambiguous relationship?"

Li Siwen glared at her, "How can you do that! If you do that, I'll look down on you."

Li Yuanchao shook his head and laughed, "Anyway, you're always right."

Li Siwen raised her head. "Don't try to reason with girls. We understand reason, but sometimes we're just emotional. When emotions run high, rationality takes a backseat."

"Let me tell you, when it comes to choosing a wife, some men are impulsive, but the vast majority are calm and clear-headed. The higher the IQ, the more rational they are."

"Was Chen Shimei the top scholar in the imperial examination?" Li Tian interjected.

Li Siwen looked at her little niece, "You still know Chen Shimei? He's no good person."

"But he wisely chose the princess. If this play hadn't praised Bao Zheng, would he have been killed?"

Li Siwen looked at Li Yuanchao, but Li Yuanchao looked at Li Tian.

Because the facts are obvious: without Bao Zheng, there would be no case of Zhan Mei; he is the only one of his kind throughout history.

And there are probably quite a few "Chen Shimei" types who abandon their wives and children.

The important question is, is it really a coincidence that Li Tian brought up Chen Shimei at this time?

Li Yuanchao's intuition told him otherwise.

"Brother, I hadn't even thought about this. How did you raise your daughter?"

Li Yuanchao felt ashamed; it wasn't him who taught him.

"I heard it from my grandfather," Li Tian said, trying to save face.

Everyone will believe what Lee Seung-ri says, and even if you try to verify it, he might not remember whether he said it or not.

"Even if a man like Chen Shimei secures his position as the prince consort, can he truly be devoted to the princess? I don't think so; he's just too afraid to do so for now."

Li Yuanchao took the opportunity to nod at Li Siwen.

Li Siwen did not refute this statement. "If someone has character issues, how can they be sincere?"

After dinner, Li Siwen took a shower and went to rest. Being away from home is exhausting.

Li Tian had been up all day and was completely exhausted. After taking a shower, she automatically went back to her room to sleep.

Li Yuanchao, however, had a long phone call with Li Shengli and Ye Zhao in the room, mainly talking about his impressions of Zhang Qizhe.

The elderly couple cared deeply for their beloved daughter, and naturally paid extra attention to her boyfriend.

Just as Li Yuanchao was getting ready to go to sleep, the phone in the living room rang again.

It was my eldest sister, Li Silin, calling from far away in the Northwest.

"Yuanchao, has Siwen gone home yet?"

"I'm back. I just arrived tonight."

"Did you see her boyfriend?"

Li Yuanchao was taken aback. "Sis, did Mom tell you?"

Li Silin did not give a direct answer.

"That person is not suitable for my younger sister; we must break them up."

Li Yuanchao was puzzled. His eldest sister, Li Silin, was not domineering or unreasonable. On the contrary, she was most like Ye Zhao, with a great sense of the big picture.

Even Mom doesn't understand that man, so what could my older sister, who's thousands of miles away, possibly know?

"Sis, do you have any news?"

Li Silin paused for a moment on the phone, "I had a very strange dream. My younger sister got married and lived a miserable life."

Dream?

Can you break up a family based on a dream?

Will Li Siwen listen to this?

"Sister, telling Siwen like this won't do any good."

"So I didn't plan to tell her directly, 'Have someone investigate that kid. Bad people aren't born that way; they change little by little. He must have gone through something before he went to college.'"

"Okay, Mom and Dad agree."

"What about you? Are you dating anyone?" Li Silin asked eagerly.

"I dated someone a while ago, but we broke up because we didn't feel right for each other."

"What's that girl's name?"

Li Yuanchao didn't think much of it, "Wenqing."

"Oh, just break up and find someone more suitable. There are plenty of good girls out there."

Li Yuanchao could clearly hear the relief in his eldest sister's voice.

What's going on now?

It seems like as long as it's not Wen Qing, it's fine.

"Sister, how's everything at home?"

There was a moment of silence on the phone.

Just when Li Yuanchao thought the phone line had dropped, he heard Li Silin crying.

"Sis, what's wrong? Say something."

"Yuan Chao, I want a divorce. Wang Minghan has someone else in his heart."

Although she was sobbing softly, Li Yuanchao could hear the endless sorrow in Li Silin's voice and clenched his fists in anger.

Li Silin married Wang Minghan for love, and after the marriage, she went with him to the northwest to guard the border.

Ye Zhao was reluctant, but she did not forcefully stop her.

It's only been ten years, and that bastard has already changed his mind?

"Sister, we'll always be on your side. We have the manpower and connections. If he dares to disagree, just try it!"

"If you need me to come over, just say so."

With the comfort and understanding of her family, Li Silin quickly stopped crying.

That bastard isn't worth her tears.

"Yuan Chao, thank you. I can handle it myself. I will finalize the divorce with him soon. But I won't go back to Beijing. I have my own career here, so it might not be as convenient to keep in touch in the future."

inconvenient?

Li Yuanchao really didn't understand what his sister was going to do.

However, the state had set up a top-secret research institution there, and Li Silin was a physics major.

It inevitably inspires imagination.

Since Li Silin didn't mention any specific work details, Li Yuanchao tacitly refrained from asking any further questions.

"Sister, if you want to stay there, that's fine, but please keep in touch and let us know you're safe."

"Yes, I will take good care of myself. However, my son may need to be sent home to be raised."

"Then send him back, let him take the surname Li, and no one will dare to bully him."

Li Yuanchao can make the decision on this matter.

"Thank you, Yuanchao," Li Silin said with joy.

"Your parents are in Beidaihe. Write down their phone number," Li Yuanchao said, reciting a string of numbers.

After the writing stopped, Li Yuanchao continued the previous topic.

"Mom and Dad have been through a lot, they know what's going on in their hearts. You should talk to them about things. Sis, Mom and Dad will only feel sorry for you, they won't interfere with your decisions."

Li Yuanchao only heard a reply from the phone, but he couldn't see the smile on Li Silin's face.
