Mommy, don't be afraid, I'll bring you blind boxes and scam you out of a wealthy family to

When Wen Li woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar room with a huge bed, milky white curtains, pink wallpaper, and a beautiful doll on the bedside table.

After her mother fell ill, her stepfather threw her into the attic, and all her old toys were thrown away. She hadn't seen such a beautiful doll in a long time.

But she wasn't interested in looking at the dolls; she was counting on her little fingers, realizing there was only one day left.

Tomorrow, Mommy will be kicked out of the hospital.

The door opened, and Duan Xianchen carried a bowl of porridge: "Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Eat something first."

Little Wenli immediately became nervous and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Libao isn't hungry, Libao won't eat..."

Duan Xianchen didn't understand why she suddenly became afraid. He noticed the scar on her arm and slammed the bowl down on the table: "Is it because your family doesn't feed you and beats you?"

The little dumpling's body trembled.

Duan Xianchen realized he had frightened her and quickly changed his tone back to softly speaking, "Don't be afraid, we would never do that to you. What's your name?"

The little dumpling said cautiously, "Pear Baby..."

"Li Bao? Your name is as cute as you." Duan Xianchen squatted down, looking directly at the little dumpling. "Sorry, Uncle was too loud just now. This porridge is delicious, want to try some?"

Duan Xianchen blew on the spoon and fed the milk ball.

The porridge contained taro and red dates; it was sweet and comforting.

Wen Li hadn't had hot porridge in a long time; what her stepfather gave her was always cold leftovers.

Her eyes and nose felt sore, and Xiao Wenli quickly blinked.

When Duan Hetong pushed the door open, he saw that Naituzi's eyes were as red as a little rabbit's.

He frowned: "Did you bully her? Or did you burn her?"

Duan Xianchen was furious: "How is this possible!"

Wen Li immediately sat up obediently: "Beep beep."

Ignoring his younger brother, Duan Hetong went to the bedside, bent down and touched Wen Li's forehead: "Hmm, the fever is gone."

He has big hands, and his palms are rough from years of cycling.

But it was very warm.

A loud voice rang out from downstairs: "Brother Tong! I've come to see the little baby!"

In the living room, the servants were busy bringing in large and small bags.

Xie Lin, a top superstar, stood at the door directing: "After I heard about it, I had the brand send them overnight. I didn't know the sizes, so I ordered a little of each."

He was carrying several pieces of top-tier children's clothing, and next to him was a giant box that had been partially disassembled, containing a complete children's slide set.

Needless to say, imported milk powder, baby food, and mountains of plush toys were definitely emptied out of the store.

Wen Li was carried downstairs by Duan Hetong and was stunned when she saw the things in the living room.

She received no gifts for her recent birthday, only the cruel treatment from her stepfather, who made this tiny baby wash dishes in ice water during the winter.

Duan Hetong put Wen Li down: "This uncle is my good friend, and these are all gifts for you."

"Yes, he's the uncle Mommy saw on TV before!" Wen Li timidly hid behind Duan Hetong, yet couldn't help but exclaim with joy, "Thank you, Uncle..."

"You've seen my show?" Xie Lin pulled out a paper bag, squatted down in front of her, and asked, "Do you like this?"

It was a pink princess dress, with tiny flowers embroidered with crystals on the hem, sparkling brightly.

Wen Li's eyes lit up immediately—this dress looks just like the one her mother said she wanted to buy!

She liked it so much, but then, remembering something, she bit her lip and shook her head: "It's too expensive, Pear Baby can't have it."

Xie Lin was taken aback.

He's always bought cruise ships and sports cars without a second thought, so it's unimaginable that anyone would think a piece of clothing is expensive.

This three-year-old is so sensible it breaks your heart.

Duan Hetong pressed down on the top of the girl's head with his large hand: "It's alright, he has plenty of money. We'll have a maid take you to exchange it in a bit."

While Xiao Wenli was still hesitating, Xie Lin raised an eyebrow: "Brother Tong, she's too cute. If you don't want to raise her, give her to me."

Milk Dumpling's face turned pale instantly.

She nervously returned the paper bag, hugged Duan Hetong's leg, and cried out, "Li Bao was wrong, Li Bao doesn't want the skirt... ba ba, ba ba, don't throw Li Bao away..."

Duan Hetong slapped Xie Lin on the back of the head: "You talk too much."

Then she scooped up the trembling little baby beside her legs: "Don't listen to his nonsense."

Xie Lin grimaced, clutching the back of his head, but first he had to reassure Wen Li: "Baby, I was just kidding, I won't throw it away."

Duan Xianchen asked, "Brother, have you thought it through? Shall we support you?"

Duan Hetong curled the corners of his lips: "When has Duan Hetong ever changed his mind about something he's decided?"

[Chirp! Host has gained significant affection points, +500 points, current points: 500. The shop has been upgraded!]

"Baa baa..." the little dumpling asked tentatively, "Pear, can I go see Mommy?"

Duan Hetong frowned: "Your family treats you like this, do you still want to go home?"

Wen Li shook her head repeatedly: "It wasn't Mommy who hit her, Mommy was asleep the whole time."

sleep?

Duan Hetong was puzzled, and Duan Xianchen lowered his voice to explain, "I checked. Her mother was in a car accident half a year ago and has been in a coma ever since. Xiao Libao is now living with her stepfather, whose name is Gao Ye."

"Takano? The one who made his fortune gambling on jade a couple of years ago?"

"Yes. Takano has concrete and sufficient evidence of long-term abuse, and we can sue to strip him of his guardianship." Duan Xianchen gritted his teeth. "Leave it to me, I'll find that scum the best place in prison."

He added, "Takano has been paying her mother's medical bills, but he's been in arrears for a long time. Today is the deadline; if the bill isn't paid soon, the hospital will have to clear out the beds."

Xiao Wenli's heart was in her throat.

Duan Hetong said calmly, "Settle the outstanding fees. From today onwards, the Duan family will cover all of her mother's medical expenses."

Duan Xianchen: "Okay, I'll take care of it right now."

Duan Hetong looked down at the little one and asked, "After you eat, let's go see your mom, okay?"

Baba will pay money? Then won't Mommy be kicked out?

Wen Li's tears fell, which she quickly wiped away with her little hands, nodding vigorously, "Thank you, Baba..."

The system was right, beep beep, it really will help Pear Baby save Mommy!

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Tan City First Hospital.

The man sat with his legs crossed in the waiting area, his phone screen displaying an unfinished gambling game.

On the chair next to her, a woman touched her protruding belly and rolled her eyes at her phone screen.

"I wonder where that little bitch has run off to." The woman sneered. "Good riddance, saves her from getting in the way at home. A burden."

The man didn't even look up: "Her damned mother's insurance hasn't been processed yet."

The woman pursed her lips and said nothing more.

She and that half-dead woman used to be best friends, and she went to great lengths to climb into the Gao family's good graces. Now that she's finally managed to get in, there's a three-year-old who's a financial burden on the family.

"Alright, alright, your turn." The man put away his phone, helped her to her feet, and said, "Let's see how our son is..."

The two walked hand in hand toward the clinic, their backs to the camera resembling those of a loving couple.
