    There is a little wolfdog at home, dangerous and charming 📖"Additional Legacy" by Shui Qiancheng, a series of articles about the 188 boy band, about the grudges of wealthy families in the 1980s, the evil and poisonous tongue girl is attacked by Wen Xiaohui x the vicious and evil-minded attack Luo Yi, exciting and exciting! The story opens with a bombshell! Wen Xiaohui's unrelated sister Yaya committed suicide and passed away, leaving behind a huge inheritance and a 15-year-old boy Luo Yi. Wen Xiaohui, who was only 19 years old at that time and still full of youthful spirit, was forced to "become a father" and start taking care of Luo Yi. At first, Wen Xiaohui secretly liked that this child was worry-free, highly intelligent, super mature, and had arranged the family properly. But as time went by, he gradually discovered that this seemingly well-behaved young man was actually horribly evil! Luo Yi was like a little wolf hiding in the dark, revealing his sharp fangs inadvertently, and his possessiveness towards Wen Xiaohui also quietly grew in his daily interactions. The business war situation is treacherous, and the grievances and grievances of wealthy families are complicated. In this whirlpool of fame and fortune, Wen Xiaohui and Luo Yi depended on each other and tested each other. Wen Xiaohui's venomous tongue and evil spirit collided with Luo Yi's ruthless evil spirit, creating a different kind of spark. This is not just a simple fall in love, but also a pull between emotions and interests. Every time they look at each other, there is a hidden turmoil; every conversation seems to have deep meaning. The unique charm of the 188 men's group is vividly demonstrated in the story of Wen Xiaohui and Luo Yi. Those who like the feuds between wealthy families, the background of business wars, and CP at the end of the year, this book "Additional Legacy" must not be missed! I read it in one sitting and couldn't stop!
