After being read she became a full-time daughter: Chapter 49

  ”Okay, okay, boss.” The middle-aged woman’s suspicious look almost made Tong Jing lose her smile.

  Tan Li looked around by herself. She walked forward and pressed the swaying swing. “I used to live in such a shabby place. I had forgotten.”

  She raised her head –

  The vague memories slowly emerged in her mind. It seemed that she was like this back then. She raised her head and saw the small sky surrounded by a low wall.

  ”So?” The middle-aged woman couldn’t help but look at Tan Li after hearing her words –

  From her perspective, she could only see Tan Li’s profile, her smooth and delicate skin, her eyes and brows so plain that it was hard to tell what she was really thinking, and she was wearing a beautiful dress that an ordinary person would probably never be able to afford in their entire lives, and the jewels on her body were sparkling.

  This figure and demeanor should not be someone I know, but…

  ”Xiao… Li?” The middle-aged woman seemed unconvinced, “Are you Xiao Li?”

  Hearing the call, Tan Li couldn’t help but turn her head and face the other party.

  She was a little bit unbelievable when she saw her profile just now, but now, the middle-aged woman is sure.

  ”It’s really you, Xiaoli!” The middle-aged woman patted her thigh and said excitedly, “It’s me! Mother Wen! Have you forgotten?”

  She walked forward quickly and subconsciously stretched out her hand, wanting to give Tan Li a hug.

  But her hand was halfway extended, and before it could touch Tan Li’s soft and fluffy fur cape, it stopped in mid-air.

  After a moment, it was slowly retracted.

  Her chapped and dark hands were clasped awkwardly in front of her, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Tan Li was so happy, as if she was looking at her own child.

  ”Mother Wen?” Tan Li was stunned.

  Faintly, the originally fuzzy memory seemed to become a little clearer.

  Wen Hongjuan, the director of the Blue Sky Orphanage, is affectionately called Mother Wen by the children.

  ”Yes!” When Wen Hongjuan smiled, the wrinkles on her face deepened. “Since you became an adult, you left our welfare home and have not returned in these years.”

  ”I thought you would never come back!” Although she said this, Wen Hongjuan’s face was full of joy. “Now that I see that you are living so well and still thinking of buying things for the children here, Mommy Wen is really happy.”

  The way she looked at Tan Li was as if she was looking at her own successful daughter.

  Compared with her…

  ”Tan Li,” Ying Heng’s voice suddenly sounded behind him, “My wheelchair seems to be stuck by a stone, can you help me push it?”

  ”I’m coming.” Although Tan Li’s tone sounded disdainful of Ying Heng for being too fussy, she still walked towards him.

  Seeing this, Wen Hongjuan couldn’t help but ask, “Who is this…”

  ”Ying Heng.” Ying Heng introduced himself, “Her friend.”

  His attitude was polite yet distant. He seemed gentle one second and unapproachable the next.

  ”Ahem…” Maybe because he seldom goes out, Ying Heng’s skin is very white. In the cold air, it looks as fragile as glass.

  He coughed softly and said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

  Wen Hongjuan suddenly realized, “Look at me, it’s so cold today, everyone come in and sit down.”

  As she spoke, she took the lead.

  Tan Li put her hand on Ying Heng’s wheelchair, glanced at the wheel, and asked with a half-smile, “Is it stuck by a stone?”

  ”Well,” Ying Heng said without blushing or beating his heart, “You brought me here by force, so take good care of me.”

  Tan Li raised her eyebrows and asked, “Because you are difficult and pretentious?”

  ”Yeah.” Ying Heng glanced at her sideways, “Tan Li, you were the one who brought me here. You have to take care of me as a patient.”

  ”Tsk tsk.” Tan Li chuckled, “Okay.”

  Ying Heng didn’t know that, but she was very good at taking care of patients.

  Thinking of this, Tan Li patted Ying Heng’s shoulder like an old master, telling him not to worry.

  Ying Heng: …

  He glanced at her sideways, snorted lightly, and turned his head away.

  Tan Li was such a generous person that she didn’t care at all about Ying Heng’s hot-and-cold attitude.

  Wen Hongjuan, who was walking in front, happened to look back and saw the little gestures between the two of them.

  Faintly, she felt as if she had realized something.

  Tong Jing could tell from Tan Li’s reaction that she probably didn’t want to reminisce with Wen Hongjuan, so she took the initiative to take over the social responsibility, “Come to think of it, why didn’t you see the kids?”

  Wen Hongjuan replied, “At this time, everyone is in the cafeteria preparing to eat together.”

  ”How about I take you there to have a look?”

  Tong Jing quickly glanced at Tan Li’s expression and said, “Let’s not disturb everyone while they are having dinner. How about we find a place to check the list of donations this time?”

  Wen Hongjuan: “Okay, okay, I[1]you can go see the children later.”

  Tan Li and Ying Heng followed behind like little tails, letting Tong Jing act as the spokesperson without saying a word.

  Although the interior of the orphanage does not look new, it is very clean. There are some Christmas decorations on the glass, adding a subtle festive atmosphere.

  Tan Li was pushing Ying Heng’s wheelchair, and as she walked, her feet paused slightly.

  Although she quickly returned to her normal pace, Ying Heng still noticed her momentary pause.

  He rolled his eyes calmly –

  A whole wall of photos.

  Basically, they are group photos of children in groups of three or four, some candid photos of them playing during festivals, and some official photos taken when leaders came to show their warmth.

  I don’t know if it was because Ying Heng’s angle was just right or he had sharp eyes, but when he looked over a little, he saw a photo in the corner.

  It was a group photo. Judging from the background, it might be some festive occasion. Little Tan Li was standing in the corner, trying hard to put on a smile, but her eyes were a little evasive.

  Tan Li pushed the wheelchair forward, but Ying Heng looked quietly at the little Tan Li in the photo, and his eyes couldn’t help but follow the photo.

  ”What are you looking at?” Tan Li stopped when she saw Ying Heng’s neck was almost turned away.

  Ying Heng felt a little uncomfortable, “Nothing.”

  Tan Li didn’t believe it and followed his line of sight –

  ”They are just a bunch of little brats, what’s so good about them?” Tan Li was puzzled.

  ”…you.” Ying Heng had a feeling that his delicate mood was like playing the lute to a cow.

  ”Me?” Tan Li was stunned and looked closer to the photo wall. “Where is it?”

  Ying Heng: …

  He turned his wheelchair helplessly and pointed, “Here.”

  Following the direction of his finger, Tan Li finally found herself among the photos that Ying Heng was talking about.

  At once……

  ”Is this me?” Tan Li was unsure. “Shouldn’t a naturally beautiful person like me be beautiful from childhood to adulthood?”

  Why do you look so listless?

  Ying Heng was completely certain, so he didn’t need to feel that Tan Li had any grievances. He pointed at the photo and said, “These eyes, this nose, this mouth, why aren’t they you?”

  ”Isn’t this what you look like now when you grow up?”

  ”Really?” Tan Li wanted to refute, but in the end, considering that Ying Heng was a patient, she said, “Why are you so excited?”

  ”Heh.” Ying Heng withdrew his hand and returned to his original difficult and hypocritical appearance. “Aren’t you worried that you’ll go blind?”

  Wen Hongjuan and Tong Jing, who were walking in front, heard the voice behind them and couldn’t help but come over.

  Wen Hongjuan: “Xiao Li, your friend has really sharp eyes. He found you among so many people in no time.”

  It would have been better if she hadn’t said this. After she said this, Ying Heng’s face became even more uglier.

  ”Ha, ha.” Tong Jing laughed beside her, “Of course!”

  ”Dean Wen, it’s getting late. Let’s go check the list.”

  As she spoke, she took the initiative to step forward, blocking Wen Hongjuan’s gaze from looking at Tan Li and Ying Heng.

  Seeing Tong Jing drawing Wen Hongjuan’s attention away again, Ying Heng couldn’t help but say, “Your little assistant is growing up quite fast.”

  ”Of course not,” Tan Li readily accepted the compliment that did not belong to her, “Don’t you see whose assistant she is.”

  Ying Heng: …

  As if he remembered the scene when he first met Tong Jing, although he didn’t want to admit it, Ying Heng still said honestly, “Yes, she is lucky to become your assistant.”

  It was rare for him not to be sarcastic, and Tan Li couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

  ”You are lucky,” Tan Li said, “You also met me.”

  Ying Heng: “…Thank you.”

  For a moment, they stared at each other in silence.

  After a moment, Tan Li couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

  She had a vague feeling that similar scenes seemed to have happened several times before, and that Ying Heng, this childish weirdo, was somewhat contagious.

  Tan Li smiled, and Ying Heng couldn’t help but smile along with her.

  In fact, he also vaguely realized that when facing Tan Li, he would inexplicably become very childish.

  Ying Heng suppressed the smile in his throat and lowered his voice, “I don’t think you like this orphanage, so why are you here?”

  ”Hey, hey,” Tan Li said, with an expression that said, “I’m telling you a little secret.” She leaned close to Ying Heng’s ear and lowered her voice, “Come and spend some money.”

  Ying Heng:?

  Tan Li: “Didn’t I tell you that I have so much money lately that I can’t find a place to spend it.”

  ”But yesterday I received a letter that seemed to be from my old friend in the orphanage. It was like a flash of inspiration!”

  ”Charity!” Tan Li couldn’t help but get a little excited. “It costs so much money! And once the money is spent, it’s gone. It will never come back!”

  “Is there a better way to spend your money than this?”

  Facing Tan Li’s bright eyes, although it was difficult, Ying Heng still answered against his conscience, “No.”

  ”Isn’t it?” After getting the approval of the capitalist Ying Heng, Tan Li felt that she had come up with a very good idea. “Besides, it’s also a good deed and can help people, killing two birds with one stone.”

  ”I’ll try it out here first and get a feel for it.”

  ”Once I become proficient, I can spend money all over the world. Isn’t this faster than buying a house or investing in a project?”

  Ying Heng: …

  He really wanted to say that no matter how much money he had, it couldn’t withstand her squandering like this.

  But as soon as these words came out of his heart, they were burned by the brightness in Tan Li’s eyes and instantly retracted.

  Ying Heng looked at Tan Li for a moment and said, “Congratulations on finding such a good way to spend money.”

  But he thought in his heart that it was useless to talk to Tan Li about some things. It seemed that he would have to talk to Tong Jing alone when he returned. Perhaps, he could also talk to Tan Xinman…

  Tan Li had no idea what Ying Heng was thinking. She was only happy that she had found the best way to spend money in her life.

  and……

  Tan Li lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. Although she was not going to spend money for pleasure, she felt that the person who had proposed the retirement goal of spending money as he pleased would probably like the way she thought of spending money.

  Tan Li believes neither in gods nor in reincarnation.

  For her, once a person dies, he is dead. Even if there is a so-called reincarnation, without the same experiences and common memories, he is no longer the person she knew.

  but……

  She shrugged.

  Who knows.

  Her hands are stained with blood, some from the enemies and some from her teammates. She does not ask for the rewards of these good deeds to come back to her, but only hopes that her teammates can find peace.

  The two of them chatted as they walked, and unknowingly, they had put some distance between themselves and Tong Jing and Wen Hongjuan in front of them.

  “Gu——”

  Tan Li lowered her head, “Are you hungry?”

  Ying Heng said calmly, “No.”

  As soon as I finished speaking, my stomach started to growl.

  Tan Li looked at Ying Heng’s belly.

  In her silence, Ying Heng felt his face slowly getting hot.

  ”Pfft…” As soon as the laughter started, Tan Li tightened her lips and said seriously, “Then let’s hurry up and finish it so we can go eat.”

  ”How can we let our Young Master Ying starve?”

  ”I shouldn’t have done that! Really!”

  ”…It’s about the same,” Ying Heng closed his eyes, “It’s too dramatic.”

  ”Hahahahaha…” Ying Heng’s current appearance was really too funny, and Tan Li couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

  Ying Heng let her laugh for a while, and seeing that she didn’t seem to intend to stop, he opened his mouth helplessly –

  Another voice spoke first, “Tan… Li?”
