Chapter 134 Come to the Door

Chapter 134 comes to the door

Previously, she had agreed with jiang chuheng and the others to let them go to their own business. Today, she went to the vicinity of Wang Fujing alone, to the shopping malls and bookstores to buy some things to bring back. She casually had breakfast on the side of the road and took the bus to Xinhua bookstore, Wang Fujing.

After more than an hour of selection, she picked up a dozen or so books, paid for them, and took a stack of books to a nearby shopping mall. He bought a pair of sneakers for Li Tao. The brand was the same and the style was slightly different. He also brought two bottles of good wine for Li Jianguo. I also bought a lot of girls' favorite gadgets, as well as a lot of music tapes and postcards, which were basically for Lin Peipei and others, of course, I can't forget Wang Li who also came to the provincial capital to play during the summer vacation.

With a lot of things in her hands, it was not easy for her to go anywhere else. She planned to send the things back to the hotel first, and then come out to play in the afternoon.

However, she did not expect the couple to find a hotel and had been waiting for her in the lobby for more than an hour.

"Sit down!"

Li Haitang opened the door, put a large pile of books and things on the bed, and took out three bottles of drinks from the cardboard boxes on the ground. She had brought them to the factory that day and had almost finished them. She handed them each a bottle of drink and said in a light voice, "I don't have any tea here. Have a drink."

Zheng Wentao and Li Xiaoqin had a long discussion in the house last night and finally made a decision. Today, she drove over after breakfast at home. When she arrived, she was told by the hotel staff that she had left early in the morning and had not checked out yet, so they had to wait in the lobby.

Seeing that most of the books in her hands were books, their hearts ached and choked. They abandoned such a studious child, while they doted on their daughter, who regarded books and textbooks as waste paper. This contrast made their hearts very uneasy.

Li Xiaoqin was wearing a white shirt and a red plaid skirt today. She had short curly hair, eyebrows traced, and lipstick applied. She was well-proportioned and had a leather bag on her shoulder. She looked a little younger than her actual age. She took the bottle of drink in her hand and looked at her with her eyes, but she never dared to look into her eyes.

Zheng Wentao was also wearing a white shirt and a pair of gray suit pants. She had a pen in her pocket at the bottom of her heart. She took her drink and put it aside for the time being.

The room was quiet for a moment, and neither of them knew what to say.

Li Haitang was guessing the purpose of their visit. Zheng Wentao and Li Xiaoqin were guessing what they were going to say about today's purpose and her attitude.

After a long silence, it was Li Haitang who broke the silence, "I know who you are. Come to me today. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Li Xiaoqin had been organizing words in his heart for a long time, but at this moment, he didn't know how to speak. He pursed his red lips and said, "We heard a lot about you from our parents yesterday. It was impossible to raise you in the country. We had to suffer."

Li Haitang looked at her quietly and said nothing, waiting for her to continue.

"I didn't expect deng wenfang to treat you like that. We were the ones who made you suffer so much when you were young." Li Xiaoqin stared at her as she spoke, not knowing why, but perhaps because of the close relationship between mother and daughter, she always felt that she was not like a seventeen year old child at all, but rather like an experienced adult.

When she first met them yesterday, her heart ached, and when she saw them today, she was able to take it easy.

Li Haitang had figured it out. The original owner was already dead. She had to be filial to the people she should be filial to. Other relatives who had nothing to do with her should not be bothered.

She did not feel that they had come here today to apologize, and she did not need them to apologize. Instead, she said, "I'm sorry." If it makes you feel better, I accept it. Let me tell you what I think now. No matter what you had to do, it was true that you abandoned me. When Li Jianhong pointed at me as a child and called me" bastard," I hated you, but when I grew up, I looked away. I don't hold a single grudge against you, Li Jianhong, or Deng Wenfang anymore, so you don't have to hold on to this in the future."

Li Xiaoqin pursed her red lips tightly. Yesterday, she only heard that Deng Wenfang had to beat her up and scold her. She had to work in the fields and starve. She had never heard that Li Jianhong had humiliated her. Li Jianhong scolded her, and she knew the reason. She was implicated. Her throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton, making her a little breathless.

Zheng Wentao had been frowning, his expression complicated, completely contrary to Li Haitang's calm. Compared to his younger son's honesty and his younger daughter's rebelliousness, her calmness made him a little confused.

She was 17 years old and still a child. What had she gone through to become so mature and steady, so innocent and childless? What exactly did he go through to smooth out all the sharp edges and corners that a child should have?

"Is there anything else?" Li Haitang didn't want to waste time on them. She would rather go around the capital at this time.

Li Xiaoqin was really speechless at the following words and looked at Zheng Wentao, who had not said a word. Zheng Wentao did not know how to speak, and his face changed back and forth.

Li Haitang looked at their troubled faces and basically guessed that it was not a good thing for them to come looking for him. When he was mentally prepared, his voice did not fluctuate at all, "Tell me what you have in mind and what you have in mind. I will think about it carefully."

As expected, she was very smart, and her words fell back into her mouth. Zheng Wentao suddenly asked, "Now that you know who we are, do you have any ideas?"

"Thoughts?" Li Haitang raised his eyebrows and shook his head decisively, "No."

Zheng Wentao tightened his grip on his briefcase and said, "I heard that you broke up with your foster father's family. Now you're setting up your own family, and you plan to go to university in the capital city in the future. Do you want to get married to us and move your account here?"

Li Haitang looked back and forth at the two of them, smiled, and asked a question that she didn't mean to say. If she was really a minor who didn't know anything about the world, perhaps she would be happy at the moment, but it was a pity that she was an adult who could see through it.

The two of them were even more embarrassed by the smile on her face. They felt that she was not an ordinary child and was too mature and intelligent.

Li Haitang didn't answer him, but instead asked a question: "I heard that you have a child with your ex-wife, and now you have twins. What identity do I have to identify with you?"

Zheng Wentao's facial muscles stiffened.

"Adopted daughter?" Li Haitang smiled and said, "You have your own children. It is against the national family planning policy to adopt another. One more thing, my appearance can be seen at a glance by others. Your family should also have a good reputation. When the time comes, you will not be able to raise your head with a single word of gossip from anyone you know."

Li Xiaoqin had also suggested this idea to her family yesterday. What they said was basically what she meant. She really didn't know how a 17-year-old child would understand this. At her age, students of her age would eat, drink, and play outside every day except holding textbooks in their school. How would they know about the affairs of the country and the ways of the world? Where did she learn this from?

Suddenly, she looked at the pile of books on the bed. All of them were literature, philosophy, and some famous people's autobiographies. She turned around and saw a pile of newspapers on the bedside table. Did she learn about them from the newspapers?

"Let's take a moment to get acquainted, then we'll move your account to the capital first. Do you think that's okay?" Zheng Wentao didn't mention it when he was discussing it with them at home, but he suddenly changed his mind when he got here.

Li Haitang shook his head and refused, "I won't trouble you. I'll take the college entrance examination next year and go to a university in the capital city. By then, my hukou will be transferred automatically." As for the marriage, she had never thought about it at all and had resisted it from the bottom of her heart. Naturally, she would not take the initiative to say this and wanted to see what their final purpose was today.

Li Xiaoqin did not know why Zheng Wentao suddenly asked this question. He guessed in his heart that he might be trying to compensate her. After all, the town's household register was very popular now, and there were many open and aboveboard businesses. A town's household register could sell for tens of thousands of dollars at a high price, and the capital's household register was even more difficult to handle. Such a sweet cake was in front of her, but she refused without hesitation, and after this topic, she did not know what to say.

In fact, the thought of recognizing her passed away in Zheng Wentao's mind in a flash. He was just trying to talk about it today, but he really wanted to do it. He inexplicably felt that the child's future achievements would not be small, and he did not want to make the relationship between the two sides too stiff today. But what she said was also right. Her academic performance was so good that she was admitted to a university in the capital city, and her household registration was automatically settled without his help at all.

When the account was not registered, he changed his mind. "If you want to go to school in the capital city in the future, you might stay here and work. Can we buy you a place to live?"

Li Xiaoqin frowned slightly, puzzled why he suddenly changed his mind today. That was not what he said at home yesterday and this morning. Instead of asking in person, she continued to look at Li Haitang, thinking that she would accept it. The houses in the capital were not cheap. Even a small apartment of 30 to 40 square meters would cost 70,000 yuan. Although she could earn money now, it would take years to save up to 70,000 yuan.

Li Haitang could not see through the reason for her father's sudden kindness. She had just seen Li Xiaoqin frowning. It seemed that the idea of buying a house for her was not their original intention. It was the man across the street who made the decision.
