Chapter 1972 80s 21

Li Chunyan returned home dejectedly. When Wu Jianguo asked her where she had been, she shook her head, unwilling to talk about Yuan Qing.

Wu Jianguo didn't press the matter, but he grew increasingly annoyed by Yuan Tingting's picky eating.

"Hmm, Tingting, what are you choosing?"

"I don't like eating green vegetables, I just picked out the green peppers."

Wu Jianguo took a deep breath and looked at Li Chunyan. Li Chunyan understood what he meant; he wanted her to take care of the child.

Li Chunyan was already feeling suffocated, and seeing Yuan Tingting being picky about food only made her angrier. She immediately yelled, "If there's food, then eat it all! Do you know how many people are starving? You've never experienced hardship. Stop being picky and eat it all, or you won't get any dinner."

Yuan Tingting used to be a picky eater, and they would coax her with kind words. Now, they scold her as soon as she picks out a few green peppers.

"Fine, I won't eat then! Now that you have a younger brother, you don't love me at all. You're so biased!" After yelling, Yuan Tingting slammed down the bowl and ran into her room.

Li's mother stood there somewhat helplessly. Finally, she sighed and said, "Children are quite sensitive. You can't ignore her feelings just because you have a baby. I'll go in and comfort her."

Li Chunyan suddenly felt a surge of anger and said angrily, "What are you trying to coax? She's almost ten years old, still a child. Other ten-year-olds are already sensible and can help with housework. What has she done all day long besides studying and bullying her younger brother?"

"Children need to be taught slowly; you can't just scold her like that."

“Teach her slowly? How can you teach her? She’s doing this on purpose. If she keeps doing this, no one will like her. Her father is married and has children, including twins. If she continues to be so disobedient, who will want her?”

Both Li's mother and Wu Jianguo were taken aback. Li's mother looked at Wu Jianguo's face and, seeing that he didn't react, quickly changed the subject, saying, "Why are you saying these things? We haven't had anything to do with that side for a long time. Just raise your own child well. Have you not been sleeping well at night lately? How about I feed Xiaobao the formula tonight?"

"No need, it'll save you the trouble."

The three fell silent again, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became somewhat tense for a moment.

Hiding behind the door, Yuan Tingting overheard her mother's words. It turned out that her father had remarried and had two more younger siblings. She was no longer the only child in the family, and no one would ever cherish and love her again.

Yuan Tingting covered her mouth and cried uncontrollably in her room, but no one came in to comfort her.

In the past, Wu Jianguo was the one who would coax her, but ever since he found out that she had secretly hit his son, he has felt a bit disgusted with this stepdaughter.

In his previous life, he clearly loved Yuan Qingqing quite a bit, and at one point treated her as his own daughter, even more so than the son Su Yan bore for him.

But in this life, with the son Li Chunyan bore for him, his eyes and heart are only for this son.

Perhaps it was because he discovered Yuan Tingting's dark side that he felt so disgusted with her.

On the other side, Su Yan heard 999 recount the little incident that happened in the Wu family. He also learned that Yuan Qing had been promoted and his wife had given birth to twins. He had already escaped death and his life was going to be smooth sailing. With the blessing of the lucky charm, his life would only be smoother, as if he had a cheat code.

In fact, Yuan Qing had opened the two yuan bills folded into a five-pointed star and found a talisman inside.

He secretly asked someone what kind of talisman it was.

However, very few people recognize this talisman, and even many former masters did not know it.

It was only when he went on a mission to Hong Kong that a local Taoist master told him that the talisman should be a blessing talisman, definitely not a curse.

He could sense that the talisman's energy was golden and positive, but he didn't know anything else.

Yuan Qing was very surprised. She had been wanting to find time to ask Su Yan about the talisman again.

He's just been too busy to find the opportunity.
