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

Ye Xin secretly inquired about Li Siwen's recent situation, not believing that she didn't have a boyfriend.

Li Siwen then briefly talked about Zhang Qizhe.

Ye Xin didn't comment on Zhang Qizhe, but she did mention her recently broken-up boyfriend.

This acquaintance can be attributed to a hero rescuing a damsel in distress.

The two hit it off immediately.

Ye Xin was falling in love for the first time. She didn't care about her family background or her job; with only a young heart and full of passion, she began what she considered a passionate and dramatic romance.

Unfortunately, the sweetness ended on the eve of this trip to Beijing.

The man wanted to get married and wanted to go to Beijing with her.

Ye Xin was willing to get married, after all, they had been dating for almost a year and she truly liked him.

My family neither interferes with nor opposes my dating life, but when it comes to marriage or even job arrangements, I must first obtain my parents' permission.

When Ye's parents saw the man, they didn't say anything.

They even said the bride price would be in accordance with the local customary amount for marriage.

The Ye family wasn't picky, but the man's side kept causing trouble.

Knowing that the Ye family had extensive connections and strong relationships, the man's parents first started to seek benefits for their other children. Ye Xin's father neither agreed nor directly refused.

What's even more outrageous is that other relatives went directly to her father behind their backs, demanding that he arrange a job for her.

They say that once someone leaves, the relationship cools down; you should take care of your relatives earlier.

Ye Xin's father was already extremely busy at this crucial time of handover.

Even if I'm not busy, there's no reason for me to help with this kind of thing.

Ye Xin's father got angry and, without hesitation, summoned the man and Ye Xin.

Ask them what they want to do!

Ye Xin naturally understood her father's predicament. If she were to openly help these people, her father would never be able to make it to the capital.

Ye Xin didn't want to say anything directly about the man's relatives, so she waited for the man to tell her to kick them out before saying something to make them give up.

To everyone's surprise, the man instead started advising Ye Xin.

They said that since their family holds high positions of power, they should help their relatives, since they will all be family in the future and can take care of each other.

After listening, Ye Xin's father opened the office door and asked them all to leave.

After things got out of hand, the man had a huge argument with Ye Xin. In his anger, he inadvertently let something slip.

Ye Xin then realized that their initial encounter was nothing more than a carefully orchestrated scheme.

Minor conflicts can be resolved, but the deception made Ye Xin lose all hope.

Fortunately, we haven't gotten our marriage certificate yet.

That very night, she boarded a train arranged by her family and went to a school in another city for short-term further studies.

As for the subsequent impact, Ye Xin's father will handle it himself.

"Love can be blind, but you must keep your eyes wide open before marriage."

These are Ye Xin's original words to Li Siwen.

Ye Xin told her about this privately after learning that Zhang Qizhe came from a rural background, which inevitably made people think more about it.

Li Siwen did not believe that Zhang Qizhe had ulterior motives in accepting her.

She hadn't told him about her family's jobs or positions, only that they were from a military family.

It wouldn't be accurate to say that I had no suspicions at all after hearing about Ye Xin's experience.

If you listen to someone's words, you'll overthink them.

Just like a thorn stuck in flesh will always leave a mark.

That night, Li Siwen lay in bed for a long time before finally falling asleep.

Since she had promised to take Li Tian and Wang Bo to the bookstore, Li Siwen would not break her promise even if she got up late.

Considering that Li Siwen was going out with her two children, Li Yuanchao specially drove them there.

Before parting ways, Li Yuanchao gave Li Siwen fifty yuan.

Asking someone to help look after your child will naturally cost you some money, but it's a way to make them happy.

Li Siwen was indeed happy; only when you have money in your pocket can you spend it freely.

Li Tian winked at Wang Bo, "Take whatever books you want to buy, my dad paid for them."

Wang Bo smiled and nodded.

After spending some time together yesterday, he is still willing to live with these people.

It's better than him staying at his grandparents' house.

His cousins ​​wouldn't be so friendly to him, and his aunts and uncles were certainly not as generous to him as his uncles and aunts.

"You can choose your books here. Once you've chosen, I'll help you pay the bill. Don't wander off."

"Auntie, go read your own books. We won't wander around," Li Tian said enthusiastically.

Wang Bo also nodded to Li Siwen.

Although she wasn't entirely at ease, since she was already at the bookstore, Li Siwen wanted to select some books she needed and couldn't keep an eye on them the whole time.

"I won't go far. If you need anything, just call me loudly."

Li Tian smiled and waved.

After Li Siwen left, Li Tian tiptoed to choose comic books.

A row of miniature bookshelves, filled with many books, attracted many children.

Li Tian was small, so it was a bit difficult for her to see the top part.

"You can choose from the bottom first. Once you find one you like, I'll bring it to you."

Li Tianchong and Wang Bo smiled, and he really is starting to look more and more like a young man.

This is a bookstore, so naturally no stools are provided. Adults and children alike can only stand and browse.

"Little kid, how did you damage the book! Where are your parents? You'll have to pay for it."

The bookseller waved one of the books, "Chong Wangbo," at him.

"Uncle, I didn't touch that book."

Wang Bo naturally denied that he had done it.

Hearing the voices, Li Tian walked over to Wang Bo's side.

"Tian Tian, ​​I didn't do it," Wang Bo shook his head to disclaim any responsibility.

Li Tian nodded. "Brother, I believe you."

After speaking, she subconsciously stood in front of Wang Bo, adopting a protective stance.

"Uncle, it's not like we can't afford the book. If we really broke it, we'll definitely buy it. But if we didn't break it, we won't be taken advantage of."

The bookseller waved her hand, "You little girl, you're quite the sharp-tongued one. I'm too lazy to argue with you. Where are your parents? Send them over to handle this."

Li Tian didn't rush to call for reinforcements; instead, she looked at the books in the bookseller's hands.

"Uncle, we have the complete set of 48 volumes of Romance of the Three Kingdoms at home. We're here to buy new books; we would never take a book we've already read."

After Li Tian finished speaking, she looked at Wang Bo encouragingly.

A middle-aged man who was standing closest spoke up, saying, "The young lady makes a good point, comrade, don't wrong the child."

The bookseller shrugged. "I was standing right there, of course I saw it clearly. You can't just say she's seen it and that's it. Even kids lie."

lie?

Indeed, some people are lying.

"Brother, he has the third volume, 'Catching and Releasing Cao Cao.' Tell me about the tenth volume, 'Little Conqueror Sun Ce.'"

Wang Bo nodded.

He read this set of Romance of the Three Kingdoms many times and could retell every story.

Li Tian looked at the bookseller.

"If my brother can tell me, does that prove we've read this book before?"

The bookseller glanced at the sample books on the shelf; there were exactly ten volumes of this set of Romance of the Three Kingdoms on display.

What if this kid happens to see the 10th volume and happens to remember it?

"No, I'll only believe you if you can tell me the contents of Book 16."

"Volume 16 is about Guan Yu slaying Yan Liang at Baima Slope..."

The middle-aged man who had spoken earlier pushed up his glasses. "Go find the person who actually damaged the books. This kid can mention Baima Slope, so he must have seen it."
