[Xiao Li,
I read on the Internet that you are now the real daughter of the super wealthy Tan family! Is it true?
It would be great if it’s true! Congratulations! You finally found your family!
But, is it because you just returned to the wealthy family and are too busy, so you haven’t contacted me recently?
However, it doesn’t matter anymore. It’s great that you found your family. I can’t contact you with your previous mobile phone number, so I wrote this letter to you just to give it a try.
I hope this letter reaches your hands.
By the way, I plan to visit the orphanage during the New Year’s Day holiday. If you have anything you want to tell Dean Wen, you can also tell me. My cell phone number is still the same.
Weng Xue.]
The letter was sent to Tan’s company and seemed to have been in the mailroom for a long time. Because there was no department information on it and Tan Li had left the company long ago, no one claimed it and the envelope had become a little frayed.
If Yao Mengmeng hadn’t accidentally seen Tan Li’s name among a pile of letters when she picked up the express a few days ago, this letter might never have reached Tan Li’s hands.
Yao Mengmeng told Tan Li about this, and Tan Li asked Tong Jing to go to the company to get the letter back.
”Boss, is this a letter from someone you know?” Tong Jing was a little curious. With the telecommunications industry so developed these days, it seemed that very few people wrote letters.
Tan Li stared blankly at the signature at the end of the letter, and seemed absent-minded for a rare moment.
Weng Xue…
It seems like he is someone I knew a long, long time ago.
Tan Li has been in the infinite flow world for too long, so long that she almost forgot all the people in real life.
After returning from the Infinite Flow World, she was taken back by the Tan family. She did not take away anything that was in the rental house at that time, including her original clothes, belongings, mobile phone, or even her friends and past.
”Little girl, get ready. I’m going to Linzhen tomorrow.” Tan Li put away the letter and instructed, “Go back to the orphanage where I stayed before. You can prepare some suitable things to send over.”
Tong Jing was slightly stunned, “Okay, okay.”
Although Tong Jing knew that Tan Li was the real daughter of the Tan family who had been abandoned for many years, ever since she followed Tan Li, she seemed to have never heard Tan Li talk about the past.
Tan Li’s expression was indifferent. From her face, Tong Jing could not tell what Tan Li thought of the orphanage that raised her.
Tong Jing pondered for a moment, calculating in her mind what the size of the gift should be to suit Tan Li’s mood.
suddenly–
”Boss, Christmas is coming in a few days. Are you going to celebrate Christmas in the neighboring town?” Tong Jing couldn’t help but ask.
Tan Li thought for a moment and said, “No, come back before then.”
”Okay.” Tong Jing felt vaguely that maybe Tan Li didn’t like the orphanage that much.
**
The next day, it was cloudy.
”So…” Ying Heng, who was called out early in the morning, asked in confusion, “Why do I have to come too?”
Tan Li was sitting in Ying Heng’s business car at this time, with her legs crossed, concentrating on matching clothes for Letong to wear today. She didn’t look sleepy at all because of the rare early wake-up.
Hearing Ying Heng’s words, she replied without even raising her head, “Didn’t we agree to protect you? I have to go on a long trip now. What if something happens to you while I’m away?”
”So, it’s safer to keep you under my watch.”
”Hey,” Tan Li suddenly moved closer to Ying Heng, “Do you think this looks good?”
The strong smell of her perfume instantly hit him, and Ying Heng leaned back subconsciously.
Halfway through, he stopped suddenly, rubbed his fingertips lightly on his sides, and leaned forward slightly.
”This makeup is not suitable,” Ying Heng raised his hand and swiped directly on Tan Li’s phone, while looking for a suitable makeup for Le Tong, he continued to ask, “Then why are you taking my car?”
Tan Li stared at Ying Heng’s hand seriously, “The assistant is out delivering the goods, I don’t have a driver.”
”…” Ying Heng lowered his eyes and glanced at Tan Li beside him, “It’s not like you can’t drive.”
Before, he was speeding, drifting, and stopping other problematic vehicles on the road, but Tan Li didn’t say anything. Did she think he didn’t know?
Hearing this, Tan Li slowly raised her head and curled her lips, “I am a rich girl, how can I drive myself? That’s so embarrassing.”
Ying Heng: …
”Oh.” He quickly operated a few times on Tan Li’s phone and leaned back in his chair. “Then you are really impressive to take someone else’s car.”
Tan Li demonstrated her double standards to the fullest, “Of course not, my existence itself is very impressive.”
She admired Ying Heng’s beautiful work and said, “Can’t you be Le Tong’s exclusive image designer?”
”No.” Ying Heng refused immediately without even thinking.
Sitting in the front driver’s seat was Ying Heng’s assistant, named Liang Yian.
At this moment, he secretly glanced at the rearview mirror and was amazed.
Ying Heng, who usually refused to go out no matter who invited him and just stayed at home, actually went out without any reservation because of a call from the eldest daughter of the Tan family? !
Ying Heng, who usually never responds to anyone who talks to him and sticks to his image of a gloomy, quiet and beautiful boy, is actually having an unrestrained quarrel with the eldest daughter of the Tan family in front of him, a transparent assistant? !
Wow–
The eldest daughter of the Tan family, Tan Li, is a divine being.
Liang Yian gave Tan Li the warmest applause in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face.
Because they set out early and the distance between Jiangcheng and the nearby town was not that far, it was just after 11 o’clock in the morning when they arrived at the Blue Sky Orphanage.
Tan Li touched her stomach and said, “Let’s finish it early and have dinner early.”
Ying Heng glanced at her, not knowing what she was so anxious about.
She seemed to have no attachment to the orphanage that had raised her since she was a child, and she didn’t even want to stay there any longer.
But on the other hand, if she really didn’t care at all, why would she come back?
Ying Heng had investigated Tan Li before, and he had also read an almost identical biographical investigation book that Tan Pei had read before. However, after several encounters, Ying Heng realized that the person in that investigation book was not, at least not, the Tan Li he knew.
What he wanted to understand was Tan Li, the one who said unpleasant things to him while pulling him out of the quagmire of depression.
Ying Heng turned his head and looked at Tan Li quietly, as if trying to see through her true thoughts.
But watching…
”Didn’t you say to finish it early and go eat early?” Ying Heng didn’t understand, “Then why are you still sitting there and not getting out of the car?”
Tan Li still maintained the posture of crossing her legs, as if she could coexist and die with the chair forever.
Tan Li glanced at the time on her phone and said, “Wait, my show hasn’t arrived yet.”
Ying Heng: ???
He was about to ask in detail when he heard the faint sound of a car engine outside the car.
Tan Li stretched his muscles and said, “My show is coming.”
Ying Heng looked in the rearview mirror——
I saw big trucks coming from a distance with smoke and dust.
Ying Heng: …
He felt like a fool for all the confusion in his mind just now.
When the two got off the car, all the trucks had arrived.
Tong Jing jumped down from the front car and said, “Boss, the goods have been delivered.”
”I have prepared all the snacks, toys, books, and daily necessities that the children need.”
Tan Li gave her an affirmative nod, “Very good.”
Tong Jing chuckled and touched the back of her head.
Ying Heng: …
”Hehe.” He waved away the invisible dust in front of his eyes expressionlessly and coughed twice without any ripples.
”What’s wrong? The air in the countryside should be better than in the city, right?” Tan Li was so considerate and kind.
”Oh,” Ying Heng was not ashamed, but proud, “I am a difficult person, I am more pretentious.”
Tan Li: “Then you are quite self-aware.”
Ying Heng’s eyebrows twitched, and he forced out a fake business smile, “Of course.”
”So this is the orphanage where you used to stay?” Ying Heng didn’t want to engage in a meaningless verbal fight with Tan Li, so he quickly changed the subject.
The original red bricks seemed to have faded, perhaps due to age or frequent cleaning. The gray-white walls had large pieces peeling off in the corners. From Ying Heng’s perspective, the iron gate that served as the main entrance was quite shabby.
Ying Heng was stunned. He didn’t even realize that his expression softened at this moment.
”Yeah.” Tan Li’s expression was calm.
Blue Sky Orphanage.
No, it should be called Blue Sky Children’s Welfare Home now.
Her memory had long been blurred in the infinite flow of the world over who knows how many years. Looking back now, this orphanage where she had stayed for nearly 18 years seemed much smaller than she remembered.
Look at this low wall. She can jump over it with just one jump.
Perhaps the noise at the door was too loud, a head popped out from the orphanage——
”Who are you?” The speaker was a middle-aged woman wearing a red cotton coat that had faded from washing. Her skin was a little dark and had many wrinkles from the years.
It was winter, and maybe it was because of the cold, but the tip of her nose and ears were a little red.
She looked out of the iron gate and saw a beautiful woman dressed in extraordinarily gorgeous clothes, a stern man in a wheelchair, and a huge truck that stretched as far as the eye could see…
The middle-aged woman had never seen such a strange combination before, and she didn’t know what to say for a moment.
”Hello, Auntie. My name is Tong Jing, and you can call me Xiao Tong.” Tong Jing considered herself a qualified assistant. How could she let the boss explain in person at this time?
She took the initiative to step forward and said, “I talked to your hospital staff over the phone yesterday. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, I came here to give the children some gifts.”
”Would it be convenient for you to open the door?” Tong Jing said with a friendly smile.
The middle-aged woman suddenly realized, “It turned out to be you!”
She opened the door with a smile, “I was wondering when you would come over!”
”squeak–“
As the half-rusted iron door was opened, a gust of cold wind blew over.
The middle-aged woman’s hands on the iron door were a little chapped, but she still said enthusiastically, “Come in, come in!”
Tan Li stepped through the door and looked around first.
The mottled and faded slide, the swing swaying in the wind, the half-old and half-new building, and the ivy in the corner extending tentative branches upwards.
The cold winter wind blows…
”This is quite suitable as a background for a horror game.” Tan Li touched her chin and turned to Tong Jing, “Tell Xiao Ruan to come and take a look at the scene. Maybe it can be used as material for her horror game.”
After these words were spoken, Tong Jing and the middle-aged woman, who were still greeting each other, froze.
Silence is the best answer.
