Meanwhile, seeing that other children taking the exam were gradually leaving the school, but Xiao Xinyan was nowhere to be seen, the Li family couldn't help but worry.

Li Qicheng said unconsciously, "I'll go into the school to look for Yanbao."

Zhong Jingyi, who was most worried, frowned and said to Li Qicheng, "Send me a message when you find Yanbao."

She wanted to know that Yanbao was safe and sound as soon as possible.

Li Qicheng nodded knowingly and was about to walk towards the campus when he saw a little dumpling with its two little arms outstretched, running out of the campus.

Upon seeing his family, the little boy became exceptionally excited, cheering from more than ten meters away:

"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, and brothers, Yan Yan is out of the exam!"

"Yanbao!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qicheng quickly opened his arms and hugged the little baby tightly, his eyes full of affection and his voice gentle: "Yanbao, you're finally out! Daddy thought you were lost on campus and was just about to go in to look for you!"

As he spoke, Li Qicheng breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully his precious daughter was alright.

"Don't worry, Dad! Yan Yan has learned to tell directions now, and she basically won't get lost anymore," little Yan Bao said in her childish voice, with a hint of pride in her tone.

She used to be a terrible navigator, unable to tell which way was which, but with her parents' patient guidance, she has now learned to determine direction by looking at the sun.

"Yanbao, let Mommy hug you."

Zhong Jingyi, who arrived at almost the same time, quickly took Xiao Xinyan from Li Qicheng's arms and hugged her tightly, saying, "It's good that Yanbao is out. Mom was so worried!"

As she spoke, she nuzzled Xiao Yanbao's cheek against her own, showing endless affection.

"Don't worry, Mom, Yan Yan is doing well!" Xiao Xin Yan said with a smile in her eyes.

Because she didn't want her parents and family to worry, the little girl very sensibly only reported good news and not bad.

She did not bring up the incident of almost being bullied.

Li Qicheng and Zhong Jingyi returned to the Li family with Xiao Xinyan. Xiao Xinyan seemed to remember something, turned her little head and looked towards the school gate, but she could no longer see that slender figure.

That young man named Ye Ming seemed to appear suddenly, and then disappear just as suddenly...

Just then, Fourth Uncle Li Qichen asked Xiao Xinyan curiously, "Little one, who was the little boy who came out of school with you just now?"

Fourth Uncle saw Ye Ming.

The little boy snapped out of his daze and was about to answer his fourth uncle's question: "He..."

Before she could even speak, Li Qicheng asked in confusion, "Little boy? What little boy? Where is there a little boy? I didn't see anything."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhong Jingyi with a puzzled expression.

Zhong Jingyi shook her head blankly and said, "I didn't see any little boys either."

Perhaps it was because the couple focused all their attention on their son, Xiao Yanbao, that they completely ignored the presence of others.

They definitely didn't see any little boys who came out with Yanbao.

Hearing his third brother and sister-in-law's words, Li Qichen was also very confused and tried to prove that what he said was true, saying:

"There's clearly a little boy! He looks about the same age as the little one, and he's very good-looking."

He described it in great detail, as if he had really seen it.

Seeing that the fourth son was getting agitated again, the old master of the Li family couldn't help but scold him, "Fourth son, don't talk nonsense in broad daylight. We didn't see any little boy. It must be your hallucination again!"

"I……"

Once your family members decide that you are mentally ill, no matter what you do or say, they will habitually judge it as abnormal.

Li Qichen was speechless, knowing full well that until he could completely prove he wasn't mentally ill, even if he had mouths all over his body, he still wouldn't be able to say some things clearly.

Fearing another conflict between father and son, the old lady of the Li family quickly pulled Li Qichen behind her to protect him and smoothed things over, saying, "It doesn't matter whether he saw any little boys or not, as long as our Yanbao is safe and sound."

She didn't see any little boys, but it didn't seem important.

The Li family's children didn't see any boys coming out of school with their sisters, so their gazes toward their fourth uncle unconsciously became wary and strange.

The eldest brother, Li Muxing, lowered his voice and concluded, "Fourth Uncle is probably going to have another attack."

The third brother, Li Muhao, said with certainty, "It seems that Fourth Uncle's illness is getting worse."

Fourth Sister Li Muhan boldly guessed: "Fourth Uncle probably forgot to take his medicine when he went out."

Fifth Brother Li Mufeng frowned: "Fourth Uncle is so pitiful!"

The sixth brother, Li Mushen, shook his head repeatedly: "I have deep sympathy for Fourth Uncle!"

The seventh sister, Li Mujun, said thoughtfully, "From now on, we need to make Fourth Uncle keep his distance from our Yanbao, so he doesn't lead his little sister astray!"

Seeing that everyone had misunderstood Fourth Uncle, he stood aside with his head drooping, looking like a big dog abandoned by its family.

Weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Xiao Xinyan quickly stepped in to explain, "Fourth Uncle wasn't lying or making things up. There really was a little boy who stayed with Yan Yan the whole time. He helped Yan Yan a lot. He probably changed direction and left as soon as he left the school gate, so no one noticed!"

Upon hearing Xiao Xinyan's words, everyone nodded in realization, glancing apologetically at Li Qichen, but none of them uttered a word of apology.

Li Qichen was already used to it, and seemingly indifferently straightened his chest, saying, "I told you there was a little boy! You didn't believe me, but now you do!"

He was determined to prove that what he had said before was true, that he was not mentally ill at all, and to slap them in the face.

The old man of the Li family coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment and said to everyone, "Alright, it's getting late, the children must be hungry, let's go home."

The Li family members responded and prepared to get into the car to go home.

Just then, a couple dressed in luxury clothing with prominent logos, along with a little girl also dressed in a luxury dress, blocked the Li family's path.

They looked very angry; the faces of the three family members were all grim, and their eyes were all fierce.

The husband in the couple had a fleshy face and a big belly. The Hermes belt buckle on his waist gleamed gold in the sunlight, and he exuded the air of a nouveau riche.

He stretched out his large, fat hand, adorned with jeweled rings, pointed at Xiao Xinyan's nose, glanced at the little girl in his arms, and then said menacingly to Xiao Xinyan:

"Is it you, you ignorant little brat, who bullied my precious little darling?!"

Upon hearing this, the brows of everyone in the Li family furrowed, and they all glared coldly at the man…
