Tan Li first found a comfortable and convenient viewing angle for Letong on her phone, and then opened the photo album.

　　Although Wen Hongjuan said that there were photos of Tan Li in the album, there were not only photos of Tan Li.

　　If Wen Hongjuan hadn’t thoughtfully annotated the names of the people in each photo, Tan Li might not have been able to find herself.

　　In the first photo, she found herself as a baby.

　　Four little babies were lying in a row, Tan Li was the third one wrapped in a light-colored swaddling cloth.

　　Her skin was whiter than the other three. She didn’t cry or make a fuss but slept peacefully. Although she was so young, her eyelashes were so long and thick that they cast a small shadow under her eyes.

　　Tan Li turned the page.

　　In the second photo, Xiao Tanli is standing up.

　　From the photo, we can see that she is still wobbling when she walks. However, although her walk is not very stable, her hand greedily grabs a colorful building block. From her movements, it seems that she is ready to hand the building block in her hand to the person taking the photo.

　　In the third photo, little Tanli has grown up a little and become a little more naughty.

　　She was fighting for a piece of bread with a little boy. The boy was being grabbed by the hair and crying loudly, but little Tanli had the attitude of a winner and looked like a little devil.

　　The fourth one——

　　Ying Heng stretched out his hand and, seemingly unintentionally, pressed a photo.

　　Tan Li:?

　　”You are not on this page,” Ying Heng said, “Next page.”

　　Tan Li: “… Don’t you know that I have a very good eye?”

　　Ying Heng said stubbornly, “Really? I don’t know.”

　　Tan Li chuckled, “I saw it. The photo you are covering now contains me.”

　　Ying Heng: …

　　His fingertips seemed to be struggling, and after a long time, he finally retracted them inch by inch.

　　That was a group photo.

　　On the left stood an elegant man, on the right stood a gentle and soft woman, and in the middle stood Xiao Tanli.

　　Little Tanli was different from the big Tanli now whose expression hardly changed. She was still young at that time, and the happiness and uneasiness on her little face were visible at a glance.

　　Tan Li looked at the photo seriously——

　　”Shall we take a look at the next one?” Ying Heng asked softly.

　　Tan Li thought for a moment, “What’s wrong with these two people?”

　　Ying Heng had investigated her once before, but she didn’t care at the time and didn’t look at the past that she had long forgotten. But now looking at Ying Heng’s reaction, it seemed a little strange again.

　　It should be constant.

　　He turned his head and stared at Tan Li seriously.

　　Seeing her brows relaxed, as if she really didn’t remember any of these things, he breathed a sigh of relief without realizing it.

　　Ying Heng’s fingers moved slowly along his thighs. After thinking for a long time, he said hesitantly, “I think it’s better if you don’t know.”

　　The question mark in Tan Li’s mind had only risen halfway when Ying Heng continued, “But I also think that you have the right to know.”

　　It was the first time that Tan Li saw Ying Heng so obviously conflicted, and for a moment, she became a little curious.

　　”So what happened?” She subconsciously moved closer to Ying Heng and lowered her voice, as if she was whispering something to Ying Heng.

　　Ying Heng: …

　　He leaned back imperceptibly, hesitating for a long time, “Read it all first. If you still want to know after you’ve finished reading it all, I’ll tell you.”

　　Hey!

　　This kid is still playing hard to get!

　　Tan Li pointed and said, “The boy is quite good at having fun.”

　　When Ying Heng met her gaze, he felt like a playboy who played with people’s hearts.

　　Ying Heng: ???

　　He shook the water in his head because of Tan Li, and said helplessly, “What if you remember it after you look at the photos behind?”

　　”If you can remember it, don’t make me explain it to you in so many words.”

　　Unfortunately, in Tan Li’s eyes, his forced and stiff tone could only be described in two words:

　　Tsundere.

　　Tan Li felt that although Zhai Zhai’s dictionary was a bit childish, it was sometimes quite accurate.

　　Ying Heng saw that she nodded as if she understood something, and the look in her eyes that seemed to be thinking a lot just now slowly turned dead.

　　”No matter what you are thinking about now, stop your mind,” Ying Heng forced Tan Li to turn the page of the album in her hand, “and continue looking at the photos.”

　　Tan Li shrugged and didn’t bother with his self-willed behavior.

　　In the fifth photo, Tan Li has grown up a little bit, and it is also a group photo.

　　This is a photo of Tan Li and Wen Hongjuan.

　　Obviously, it doesn’t seem like a long time has passed compared to the previous photo, but Tan Li’s appearance has completely changed.

　　She used to be a bold and lively little bully, but now she has started to avoid the camera.

　　She pressed tightly against Wen Hongjuan’s thighs, her small hands clasped Wen Hongjuan’s hands, with half of her small body hidden behind Wen Hongjuan’s legs.

　　Ying Heng’s eyes darkened.

　　With a “pop”.

　　Tan Li pressed the phone in her arms, and Le Tong, who was happily spinning in circles on the screen, could no longer see the album in her hand.

　　Tan Li turned back to the previous page of photos and compared the two younger versions of herself.

　　She glanced at the front, then glanced at the back, and then she quickly flipped through the photo albums, quickly reading one, then two, then three.

　　Ying Heng’s eyes couldn’t keep up with her speed, but Tan Li herself saw it very clearly. In each subsequent photo, although she grew up little by little, the fear in her eyes was always hidden in the bottom of her eyes.

　　”What happened between me and these two people?” Tan Li turned back to the photo with a man and a woman.

　　Ying Heng hesitated, “You really don’t remember anything?”

　　Tan Li thought for a moment and said, “It’s been too long. I don’t remember.”

　　Ying Heng looked at her silently.

　　”You were adopted by a couple when you were 5 years old. Do you still remember?” Ying Heng asked softly.

　　Tan Li shook her head.

　　Ying Heng clenched his back teeth, his brows knitted together in a knotted frown, “If this is the result of my previous investigation, this is not something worth remembering.”

　　”This should be judged by me.” Tan Li said calmly.

　　Ying Heng: “If I tell you, will you still be able to forget it?”

　　”Yeah.” Tan Li nodded confidently, “I forget things that are not worth remembering very quickly.”

　　Ying Heng looked at her strangely.

　　Tan Li shrugged, “Don’t overestimate the memory of an old man. I can only remember a few things.”

　　Ying Heng looked at her even more strangely.

　　a long time–

　　”Should I still thank you for remembering me?” Ying Heng asked humbly.

　　Thinking about it this way, Shi Jiasen had indeed met Tan Li twice, but it seemed today that Tan Li had forgotten him completely and thoroughly, without even a trace left.

　　Then he could be remembered by Tan Li, even if he was a perverted stalker who wanted to die but couldn’t, but at least he left a mark in Tan Li’s memory.

　　”Thank you.” Ying Heng said again.

　　After saying that, he felt strange again. Why should he thank Tan Li for remembering her?

　　Tan Li was stunned for a moment, “Oh, you’re welcome.”

　　Ying Heng, this psychopath, is getting worse and worse.

　　Seeing Tan Li looking at him as if he was crazy, Ying Heng felt a burning sensation in his chest and had an urge to turn around right away.

　　”Ahem.” Ying Heng coughed deliberately, “Let’s get down to business.”

　　The blush on his ears slowly faded, and he pointed his slender fingers at the photo in the album, “18 years ago, a couple adopted a girl from an orphanage because they had no children for many years.”

　　”The man was an editor of a literary magazine, and the woman was an elementary school teacher. Before that, they had a very good reputation among their colleagues and neighbors.”

　　Although his voice was cold and dull, without any ups and downs, it was surprisingly suitable for storytelling.

　　It can bring a sense of peace to people.

　　”but–“

　　Suddenly, his calm voice was like a cold sword drawn from its sheath.

　　”One year later, this man was sent to prison because of his wife’s real-name report.”

　　”The charge is—” Ying Heng raised his eyes and looked directly at Xiang Tanli, “pedophilia.”

　　Tan Li was stunned.

　　Ying Heng said word by word, “After adopting the child for a while, this man finally couldn’t help but want to take action against his adopted daughter who was only 5 years old.”

　　”But his wife found out about it, called the police on the spot, and had him sent to jail.”

　　”As for the poor adopted daughter, the woman felt that she couldn’t raise the child by herself, so she sent her back to the orphanage.”

　　”Tan Li,” Ying Heng looked into Tan Li’s eyes, “that adopted daughter is you.”

　　I don’t know since when, the sound of Tong Jing and Wen Hongjuan checking the donation list has disappeared. The office is quiet and the only sound is each other’s breathing.

　　Wen Hongjuan quietly turned sideways to look at Tan Li’s expression.

　　In that incident back then, it was because they did not conduct a thorough review that the young Tan Li had to go through everything she should not have experienced.

　　I still remember that although Tan Li was a child abandoned at the door of an orphanage, she never complained about herself. She seemed to have the qualities of confidence and not being able to lose to others in her bones. She would say loudly what she wanted and refuse what she didn’t want.

　　Back then in the orphanage, everyone liked little Tanli very much.

　　But at the same time, because she is strong, everyone tends to ignore Xiao Tanli.

　　Even so, Xiao Tanli will fight for what she wants.

　　In an orphanage, boys are more likely to be adopted, just like Shi Jiasen, who is very young and cannot remember anything, so there is a great possibility that he will be adopted.

　　But girls are different.

　　There are not many people who want to adopt girls, let alone a girl like Tan Li who is already 5 years old. Almost no one would be willing to adopt her.

　　So when the couple expressed their desire to adopt a child around 6 or 7 years old, Tan Li stepped forward.

　　The little bully Tan Li behaved unusually well that time, with a sweet smile and a sweet mouth. In addition, she was beautiful, which immediately touched the couple’s heart.

　　Afterwards, Wen Hongjuan asked her, and the usually strong Xiao Tanli revealed her sensitive heart for the first time. She also wanted a home.

　　There is a home that is not a big home like an orphanage where a group of people live together, but a small home that belongs only to her, her father, and her mother.

　　But a year later, Tan Li, who longed for a small family so much, returned to the orphanage.

　　Moreover, unlike before, Tan Li no longer loudly says what she wants and doesn’t want this time when she comes back.

　　If she doesn’t like vegetables, she will swallow them obediently with a smile.

　　When it comes to toys she wants, she will just look at them from afar with an envious look on her face.

　　She would agree to whatever others said to her.

　　If someone shows a little displeasure, she will put on a flattering smile, but will secretly avoid the person afterwards.

　　In just one year, the small home that Xiao Tanli had longed for made that cheerful, lively, confident and happy little bully disappear without a trace.

　　Wen Hongjuan felt sad.

　　But at the same time, she felt strange. How did Ying Heng know all these past events?

　　Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard Ying Heng say, “This is one version, there is another version, do you want to continue?”
