Xiao Xinyan's solemn words sounded somewhat strange and inexplicable to Li Qicheng and Zhong Jingyi.
The couple exchanged a glance, but didn't say much or pay much attention.
Just take it as innocent childish talk.
They seem to have gradually gotten used to the strange things about Xiao Yanbao.
Even if she really is like Li Qichen, they will not despise this daughter.
Since they decided to adopt her, they will definitely treat her as their own daughter, take care of her, love her, and spoil her for the rest of their lives...
The car quickly came to a smooth stop in front of the main house of the Li family manor. As soon as Xiao Xinyan was carried out of the car by her mother, the old man and old lady of the Li family came out to greet her.
The old man of the Li family asked Li Qicheng, "Is Yanbao alright? Why was he discharged from the hospital so soon? Is he alright? Should we have the family doctor give Yanbao a thorough physical examination?"
Grandma Li then came to Xiao Xinyan and asked in a kind voice, "Xinyan, tell Grandma, how are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
"Grandpa and Grandma, don't worry, Yan Yan is fine now. The doctor said Yan Yan is perfectly healthy!"
Little Xinyan smiled sweetly at her grandparents, patted her little chest with a serious expression, and said in a childish voice, "Yanyan eats everything well, maybe she can live to be ninety-nine years old!"
The soft, fluffy little dumpling successfully charmed the elderly Mr. and Mrs. Li, who were infected by her smile and joined in the joy.
"It's good that Yanbao is alright. What would you like to eat? Grandpa will arrange for someone to make it right away!" The old man of the Li family bent down gently and looked at the little baby with a smile.
Not wanting to be outdone, the old lady of the Li family quickly used her trump card, using an extremely gentle tone to seduce the little cutie:
"Does Yanbao want some milk? Grandma bought Yanbao a super pretty big bottle!"
The old man dared to tempt the little one with delicious food, so don't blame her for using her ultimate move.
Sure enough, upon hearing what the old lady of the Li family said, Xiao Yanbao's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded hurriedly, like he was pounding garlic.
"Yes! Yan Yan wants to drink ******, thank you Grandma!"
The little dumpling raised her hand high to indicate that because her father died early, Xiao Xinyan, who had been living with her mother, had never drunk milk powder. But ever since she tasted the milk powder that her mother, Zhong Jingyi, had prepared for her, she had fallen deeply in love with the taste.
It's so sweet and milky, it's the taste of happiness!
After thanking her grandmother, Xiao Xinyan remembered something and quickly added, "Thank you, Grandpa too!"
With a smile, her eyes turned into crescent shapes, soft and adorable.
This three-and-a-half-year-old little dumpling is already a master of balancing things!
Just as everyone was enjoying themselves, a sharp, piercing sound shattered the tranquility of the moment, tearing apart all peace and comfort.
"At such a young age, he may not have any other skills, but he's incredibly good at making people happy!"
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family, Liang Xunling, rushed in, her face extremely dark. She immediately yelled at the dazed-looking Xiao Xinyan:
"You've really started acting like a pampered young lady in our family! You're such a jinx, nobody wants you!"
Liang Xunling looked terrifying at that moment, and Xiao Xinyan shuddered, clenching her fingers in bewilderment.
She had no idea what she had done to offend her aunt. Why was her aunt targeting her like this?
The three-and-a-half-year-old toddler sensed the exclusion and disdain; the aunt in front of him seemed no different from the other people in the village.
Like a stress response, Xiao Yanbao's throat began to tighten involuntarily.
But the next second, the little one noticed that the black handprint on his aunt seemed even blacker than before...
What did that "bald guy" do to my aunt again?
Zhong Jingyi rushed to Xiao Xinyan's side immediately, shielding her daughter behind her, and frowned as she questioned Liang Xunling, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean? You have the nerve to ask me? You should be asking your precious daughter whom you picked up from the countryside!"
Liang Xunling looked completely annoyed, as if Xiao Xinyan had burned the grass on her family's ancestral graves.
Upon entering the door, the eldest daughter-in-law immediately adopted a accusatory attitude, even forgetting the etiquette of the younger generation and failing to greet the two elders.
The old man and old woman of the Li family exchanged a glance, both showing obvious displeasure.
"Didn't you refuse to come home out of spite? Why are you back today?"
The old master of the Li family glared at Liang Xunling and scolded, "Making a racket as soon as you enter the door, what kind of behavior is this!"
"Dad, please stop protecting your third son's family without even knowing the facts. You've spoiled them so much that they'll bring just anyone home!"
As she spoke, Liang Xunling glared at Xiao Xinyan with hatred in her eyes, and said, "Not just anyone can become the daughter of the Li family. In my opinion, this little brat doesn't deserve it!"
"Sister-in-law, whether Yanbao is worthy of being the daughter of the Li family is not something you can decide."
Zhong Jingyi retorted to Liang Xunling without backing down, and solemnly stated, "I have completed all the legal adoption procedures. Yanbao is now my and Cheng-ge's daughter, and she has already been registered. Her surname is now Li, and her name is Li Xinyan. She is the daughter of the Li family!"
From now on, Yanbao's name will no longer be Li Xinyan, but Li Xinyan.
Hearing Zhong Jingyi's words, Liang Xunling became even more agitated: "Bah! She's not some Li family heiress, she's a jinx! I finally understand why the people in her old village drove her out. She really is a jinx, whoever gets involved with her is doomed, she's incredibly unlucky!"
