Li Cheng'an stared intently at the mother and daughter, afraid that his mother might hurt his younger sister.
Of course, as soon as the crisis was over, he immediately looked away, behaving like a typical arrogant young man.
At the dinner table, the family of four rarely ate breakfast together, and the two children waited especially for Li Hanting to finish his training.
Li Yuanyuan swung her legs while munching on a steamed bun. Even though it was a vegetable bun, she ate it with relish, and crumbs of the bun still clung to the corners of her mouth.
Su Jingjing looked at the man across from her who was silently eating breakfast. After swallowing the bun in her mouth, she wanted to speak to him, but for a moment she didn't know how to address Li Hanting.
"Um...it's the weekend today, and I'd like to take the two kids to the city."
Before he could finish the second half of his sentence, three pairs of eyes stared straight at him, especially the father and son, who looked wary.
A chill emanated from Li Hanting. Did she really go and discuss selling the two children with that pretty boy that day?
Li Cheng'an, with an "I knew it" expression, put down the steamed bun and faced him directly in a mature tone.
“If my sister and I don’t go, you’re probably thinking of selling us again.”
It turns out that all the good intentions she had shown this week were fake; she just wanted her father to lower his guard. Luckily, he was smart.
Su Jingjing was speechless, only then realizing how much ambiguity her words had caused.
In the midst of summer, she felt a chill creeping over her.
The man had a dark face and a serious expression. Su Jingjing felt uneasy looking at him and quickly began to explain.
"Oh, you're overthinking it. The two kids have very few clothes, so I was just thinking of taking them to pick out a couple."
Finally, fearing the man wouldn't believe her, she even took the initiative to swear an oath in front of him, but he stopped her.
"No need, I'll trust you this once."
Li Hanting told himself that Su Jingjing had changed, and he should give her his trust.
If she still intends to sell the two children this time, then the days ahead will surely be filled with hell.
Li Cheng'an turned to look at his father in disbelief, "Dad, you actually believe her?"
Oh no, even Dad is going to fall for it.
Li Hanting gently scolded his son, "An'an, who is she?"
He believed in raising sons frugally and daughters lavishly, and was always strict with his sons.
Li Cheng'an bit his lip and lowered his head in embarrassment. His father wouldn't allow him to disrespect his mother.
There was a moment of awkward silence, but Su Jingjing quickly smoothed things over, "It's alright, it's not An'an's fault."
Li Cheng'an was surprised that his mother was willing to speak up for him, which made him feel even more awkward.
Only Li Yuanyuan was slow to catch on; all she could think about was that her mother was going to take her to the city to buy clothes.
"Mommy, Yuanyuan will be good and won't cause you any trouble."
The teacher said that only well-behaved children are liked by others. It must be because she was too naughty in the past that her mother didn't like her.
"You've been so good, baby. How about Mommy buys you a dress later?"
The little one has gained weight and looks adorable. If she wore a dress, she would definitely be the most beautiful child in the whole residential compound.
"skirt?"
Li Yuanyuan muttered to herself, she had never worn a dress before, and none of the children in kindergarten had either.
Su Jingjing understood the little guy's confusion, so she had to explain it in a different way, "It's a princess dress, you'll look like a fairy when you wear it."
Hehe, Li Yuanyuan was secretly delighted. She suddenly wanted to go to the city right now.
After the meal, Li Hanting cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, but didn't rush to leave. He stood straight at the door waiting for Su Jingjing.
At this moment, she came out of the room carrying a bag, looking neat and tidy. She frowned slightly, walked up to her, and handed her five ten-yuan bills.
Su Jingjing didn't understand why the man was giving her money again, and looked up at him in confusion.
"This is…"
"Aren't you buying clothes for the two kids? You need money."
The man's words were concise, but Su Jingjing understood the gist of it. He had given her three bills a few days ago, and now he was giving her five more. Just how much money did Li Hanting have?
Who cares? The man's allowance is high, and he's from a military family, so he's not short of money.
However, she was quite satisfied with this aspect. As expected of the male lead, he wasn't stingy at all. What a great man is one who isn't stingy!
Su Jingjing accepted it without hesitation, took it directly, and smiled, "Then thank you."
She hasn't received her official salary yet and isn't well-off, so it's only right that Li Hanting gives her money; only a fool would refuse.
At this moment, her bright and delicate eyes were like a butterfly fluttering its wings, gently stirring Li Hanting's hardened heart.
Li Yuanyuan couldn't wait to pull her mother outside, completely ignoring her brother. "Mom, let's go quickly."
Su Jingjing responded with an "okay," and then let the little guy lead her, with An'an following closely behind.
As I exited the military region gate, I saw a familiar figure waiting for the bus at the bus stop in the distance.
The next second, the sharp-eyed little guy pointed at Liang Dapang in front of him, "Brother, it's Brother Dapang."
Of course, Liang Dapang also heard someone calling him from behind, and turned around curiously.
"An'an, Yuanyuan." She grinned and muttered softly, then suddenly frowned, "Why is that old hag here too?"
Seeing her son's actions, Wu Xiuying turned around and squinted at the mother and her two sons who were walking towards her.
Oh no!
Is Su Jingjing still thinking of selling the two children? She's really not giving up.
Just as I was about to step forward to stop her, a thought suddenly struck me: wait a minute, why would she want to stop me?
She wanted to see how Su Jingjing would explain herself this time.
Seeing his friends, Liang Dapang felt a surge of joy. "An'an, Yuanyuan, are you going to the city too?"
In the hearts of their group, An An has always been like a leader, because he is omnipotent and full of clever ideas.
Li Yuanyuan smiled sweetly and said, "Big Fatty Brother, let's go with Mommy..."
The younger sister almost let slip that she was going to buy clothes, but Li Cheng'an quickly stopped her, saying, "Let's go to the city for a stroll."
Then, to further satisfy Big Fatty's desire to show off, he asked, "Big Fatty, what about you?"
Liang Dapang would never let such a good opportunity slip by.
He genuinely wanted to show off, saying, "I went with my mom to buy meat and made dumplings."
The old hag must not have bought meat for An'an in a long time. His mother is the best; she always saves the best food for him.
Li Cheng'an just smiled and didn't say anything. Could he say that he had been eating meat frequently this week?
Su Jingjing admired An'an's cleverness; she didn't flaunt her wealth. She was sure An'an would become a notorious shrewd businesswoman and a true big shot in society.
It seems that this brat was wary of others even when he was young, which laid the foundation for his later success.
Although Li Yuanyuan didn't understand why her brother wouldn't let her finish speaking, she knew that listening to him was always the right thing to do.
An'an's actions led Wu Xiuying to mistakenly believe that she was being blackmailed by Su Jingjing, and she immediately curled her lip, thinking, "Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs."
If Su Jingjing were to sell the little girl, she would understand, after all, girls are also a waste of money, wasting food at home. But Li Cheng'an is a boy, who will inherit the Li family's property, so wouldn't Su Jingjing also enjoy the good life in the future?
