There were other people gathered around, not just the middle-aged man.

The bookseller, realizing he was in the wrong, remained silent.

Everyone thought that the matter was over and done with.

But Li Tian did not move.

"Uncle, you've mistaken me for someone else. You should apologize to my brother."

The man waved his hand impatiently. "Apologize? What's there to apologize for!"

Li Tian showed no fear. "You wronged my brother, so you should apologize. Our young age is not a reason for you to refuse to apologize."

Wang Bo took Li Tian's hand and stood up straighter.

His sister was standing up for him, and he couldn't possibly be a coward.

Wang Bo mustered his courage and said, "Don't adults have to apologize to children when they do something wrong? How can they set a good example?"

The onlookers hadn't dispersed yet and continued watching with great interest.

The bookseller glared at Li Tian, ​​embarrassed and angry.

Unable to scare the two children away, he turned to the onlookers and shouted, "Scatter, scatter, don't disturb others choosing books."

Now everyone was unhappy.

They all began to criticize.

"If you're wrong, you have to admit it. You can't just slander a child."

"They're bookstore staff, how rude of them."

"Those two kids are really brave!"

"Not only are they brave, they're also very smart."

......

Li Siwen finally noticed the commotion; the two children were right there, so she quickly went over.

I spotted Li Tian and Wang Bo in the crowd at a glance.

"What happened?"

Li Tian grabbed Li Siwen's hand and started complaining.

Li Siwen patted her nephew and niece on the head and stood between them.

"Comrade, apologize to my nephew and we'll call it a day. Otherwise, let's go to your boss and see what he thinks."

Li Tian wasn't afraid to begin with, but now that Li Siwen was backing her up, she stood even straighter.

"sorry......"

The bookseller was caught in a bind, so he left after saying that.

His tone was curt and showed no apology whatsoever, as if someone owed him a fortune.

Is this supposed to be an apology?!

"Xiao Bo, do you accept this apology?"

Wang Bo hesitated for a moment, but ultimately shook his head.

Li Siwen never bullies others, but she also never tolerates being mistreated.

The person involved cannot accept such an apology, nor can she accept it in the slightest.

Li Siwen immediately led her two children into the office area and knocked on the bookstore manager's door.

The manager was very nice.

After hearing Li Siwen's request, he immediately apologized on behalf of that person.

"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely give that comrade a serious reprimand."

Li Siwen naturally noticed it too.

It's not that this manager is particularly enlightened, but rather that he's more tactful and knows how to handle people, and doesn't want to make a big fuss.

It's like punching cotton; it makes you feel powerless.

Li Siwen lost the will to argue.

"Then I'm sorry to bother you."

After the three of them came out, they weren't in the mood to continue reading. Li Siwen took the books she wanted and went to pay for them directly.

"Let's go back and eat. The food at most cafeterias isn't as good as what Aunt Zhang makes."

Li Tian had no objection, and Wang Bo remained silent.

Li Siwen took it as their tacit agreement.

Ye Zhao looked at the three of them with some surprise, "Why are you back so quickly? I thought you were eating out."

"It's more comfortable to eat at home," Li Siwen said, carrying her books back into the house.

Ye Zhao smiled and pulled her granddaughter and grandson to her side.

"What books did you buy?"

I didn't buy it.

"I didn't buy any either."

"Nothing you like?"

"No, that's not it."

Li Tian briefly mentioned the bookstore incident.

"You two need to unite and stand together against external threats," Li Shengli praised him after hearing this.

Ye Zhao smiled and patted Li Tian, ​​"Our Tian Tian is very brave and kind-hearted, and knows how to protect her brother."

He turned to look at Wang Bo, "Xiao Bo did the right thing. You can't give in if you're not wrong."

Ye Zhao clasped her two small hands together and said, "You are the closest siblings, so you should get along like this. When you're out in public, you must never undermine your own family."

Li Tian and Wang Bo nodded and leaned against Ye Zhao's arm.

"Since you've all been so great, I'll reward you by having you order one of your favorite dishes, but it has to be something we have at home."

Li Tian rolled her eyes. "I want to eat shrimp."

"We don't have that, but we can have Xiao Zhang go out and buy it tomorrow morning."

"I want to eat braised beef, Mom makes the best..." Wang Bo couldn't continue.

Ye Zhao patted Wang Bo on the shoulder, "We happen to have some beef at home. Your mother learned her cooking skills from Xiao Zhang."

Li Tian smiled and tugged at Wang Bo, "Brother, you're in for a treat."

Wang Bo nodded, but his emotions were no longer as high as they had been before.

Li Shengli put down the newspaper in his hand.

"Xiao Bo, I don't know what kind of research your mother is doing, but it must be something really amazing. It is thanks to the efforts of people like her that our country can truly become strong."

Wang Bo looked up, his eyes shining.

"Is Mom really that amazing?"

Ye Zhao held Wang Bo's small hand, recalling what Li Silin looked like when she was young.

"Your mother is amazing. She was a top student at Tsinghua or Peking University. For your father, she gave up her job in Beijing and went to the Northwest. After giving birth to you, she devoted herself to taking care of you at home."

"Xiao Bo, no one in this world loves you more than your mother. I hope you won't blame her."

With red eyes, Wang Bo rushed into Ye Zhao's arms.

The room fell silent.

Ye Zhao simply patted Wang Bo's back gently.

It takes time for an adult to adapt to a new environment, let alone a child.

When it was time for dinner, Li Yuanchao returned.

After finishing his meal and putting down his chopsticks, he said, "Dad, Mom, I've already submitted my application to the team, and I'll officially report for duty tomorrow."

Li Shengli nodded; he knew what Li Yuanchao was busy with.

"You've just arrived at your new unit, so don't travel back and forth for now. We'll take care of things at home, so don't worry."

Li Yuanchao did indeed intend to do so, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mom and Dad."

Looking at Li Tian, ​​then at Wang Bo, she said, "You two need to behave well. Good behavior will be rewarded, and bad behavior..."

Li Yuanchao waved his large, well-defined hands in front of them.

Li Tian instinctively backed away.

"We've been very good, just wait for your reward."

Li Yuanchao laughed a few times.

"Go back to your room and rest. You can go wherever you want when you wake up. The rest of my time today is yours."

"Yay!"

Li Tian skipped back to her room.

Wang Bo didn't say anything, but he smiled at Li Yuanchao.

After everyone had gone back to their rooms to rest, Li Yuanchao knocked on the door and entered Li Shengli's room.

"Did you find anything?"

"Zhang Qizhe's file and background are clean; there are no problems whatsoever."

"I asked an old comrade to go to his hometown, and all I found out was that he had a girlfriend, but after he got into university, she got married and has a three-year-old child."

"These materials won't convince Siwen."
