Dressed as a real daughter, held in the palm of the hand by the boss

Li Manman looked at He Yi who was picking up debris on the ground and said, "Mom, why are you asking this?"

He Yi smiled sheepishly: "It's because of us that this happened. I want to compensate them for the flowers."

Compensate them?

I'm afraid I can't afford to pay for this.

After He Yi had finished cleaning up the pieces, Li Manman spoke up, "That's the Fine-Leafed White Heart Orchid, more than 20,000 each."

When she was studying medicine in her previous life, there was a senior brother who loved orchids. Among his favorite flowers was the fine-leaved white orchid. He even specially invited them to dinner at his home, actually just to show off his orchids.

The quality of his orchid is naturally not as good as this one. A fine-leaved, white-hearted orchid of this quality is estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

Li Manman has not studied it, so she only knows these roughly.

But there is no need to tell He Yi what happened next, so as not to add to the psychological pressure on others.

"What? More than 20,000?" He Yi stood there in a daze.

She has always lived in Hexia Village. Hexia Village is not connected to the outside world and it is very troublesome to go into the mountains. Most villagers are self-sufficient. The largest amount of money she has ever seen is only one thousand.

Twenty thousand?

How much is that?

Twenty thousand?

Just a flower?

He Yi felt dizzy and felt like he had entered a whole new world.

Oh no, Li Manman thought to herself, I shouldn’t have told her this.

She stepped forward to support He Yi and advised, "Haven't those two gentlemen already said they don't care? Mom, don't worry."

He Yi finally came to his senses and felt somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, the two gentlemen did not care, otherwise she would not be able to afford the compensation even if they sold her.

But she was still a little depressed: "We are already causing enough trouble for Boss Nie here, and now this has happened. I don't know if Boss Nie will be angry."

Li Manman said a few more words to comfort He Yi, and then went to find Nie Chunxiao.

Nie Chunxiao was fiddling with the orchid in the glass greenhouse. When she heard someone approaching, she turned around and smiled at Li Manman, "Manman, you've come just in time. Come and take a look. This orchid is so beautiful."

The leaves are slender and arranged in an orderly manner. Even after changing the pot, the plant is still in good condition. It has not bloomed yet. Li Manman has seen what it looks like when it blooms. This plant is of excellent quality and its appearance when it blooms will probably not be too bad.

Li Manman sincerely praised: "It is indeed very beautiful."

No wonder it’s so expensive.

Nie Chunxiao hummed a song, his tone becoming even more excited.

Li Manman walked up to her and asked softly, "Sister Nie, are you angry today?"

When Nie Chunxiao heard her say that, a hint of anger appeared on his face. He nodded and said, "Of course I'm angry!"

How could she not be angry when Wu Xingyu was so arrogant?

But before she could say the next sentence, she heard the apology from the person next to her.

"I'm sorry for causing trouble to Sister Nie."

Li Manman was a little annoyed.

At the beginning, she did find Nie Chunxiao on purpose, hoping that he could provide her with temporary help. She was taking advantage of Nie Chunxiao to some extent, and she could not deny that.

But as they got to know each other better, she realized that Nie Chunxiao was sincere to her and Li Manman was not a heartless person, so she was naturally softened by him.

If she had known Wu Xingyu would do this, she should have gone to talk to him alone.

Warm hands stroked her head, and she heard a sigh as gentle as spring water.

"Silly boy, you didn't cause me any trouble. I volunteered to protect you today. You are so young, how can you take on so many responsibilities? Just let the adults handle these things. Children should be happy."

Sister Nie did not blame her and was as gentle as usual.

For some reason, Li Manman felt a sour taste in her mouth: "I'm already sixteen, not young anymore, I've grown up."

Nie Chunxiao hugged her tightly and said softly, "Yes, Manman is anxious to grow up and wants to protect her mother, but Manman can also try to rely on others. Sister Nie can also protect Manman. Manman doesn't need to grow up so quickly."

Li Manman understood instantly.

It turned out that she was sad because she was being protected.

Ever since she came to this place, she has been trying to protect He Yi and herself.

Against Li Dahe, Li Qingqing and the nanny, the two of them left the Wu family alone, came to the city center with nothing, and finally stayed in the flower shop.

Along the way, Li Manman never relaxed.

She kept guessing what other people were thinking and wondering what to do next.

Isn’t this tiring?

Tired, of course I am tired.

But she had no other choice, she could only rely on herself.

If she also lost her composure, He Yi would be even more at a loss.

Whether for herself or for some other reason, Li Manman will persevere.

She didn't know what the road ahead was like, nor did she know what the future would be like. She could only grit her teeth and move forward with the few hopes in her heart.

And she didn't realize this at all until Nie Chunxiao pointed it out just now.

It is said that only crying children get milk, and only children who are cared for can feel sad.

Li Manman lay on Nie Chunxiao's shoulder, her tears gradually soaking her clothes, as if she wanted to cry out all the confusion and fear she had experienced along the way.

Nie Chunxiao just gently stroked her back with his palm without saying a word.

After a moment, Li Manman raised her head somewhat embarrassedly.

Her eyes were red like a rabbit.

Nie Chunxiao couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and took a tissue from the side and handed it to her.

Li Manman wiped away her tears and asked about the matter: "Sister Nie, what should we do if Wu Xingyu really attacks you?"

Although Li Manman didn't know the situation of the Wu family, it wasn't difficult for him to find this place and force a flower shop to close.

Nie Chunxiao's expression was slightly cold: "I said, if he really has this ability, he can try it."

Li Manman blinked: "Sister Nie, you seem to be very powerful."

Nie Chunxiao burst out laughing, and the frost on his face instantly melted by his smile.

She took Li Manman's hand and walked to the rattan chair beside and sat down.

"It's really great."

Nie Chunxiao was not modest and admitted it directly.

Li Manman poked her head out from the small rattan chair and looked at her curiously: "How amazing is that?"

"Before I tell Manman about this, should Manman tell me about the relationship between herself and Wu Xingyu?" Nie Chunxiao said with a smile.

Li Manman didn't say anything, but just silently retracted her head.

Nie Chunxiao was helpless.

Forget it, if she doesn’t want to say it, then don’t say it. Anyway, it’s not that she can’t deal with the Wu family.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard a faint voice coming from the side.

"Perhaps this matter has to start from thirty-six years ago..."

Li Manman told everything she knew.

Nie Chunxiao was lying down and listening at first, but then he sat up.
