Ying Heng turned his head and his dark eyes fell on the person who had just interrupted him.

　　Shi Jiasen stood at the other end of the corridor with his eyes wide open.

　　”It’s really you!” Shi Jiasen trotted over, “Why are you here?”

　　Tan Li looked at this familiar person and asked, “Who are you?”

　　Shi Jiasen’s eyes almost popped out of his head, “You forgot about me again!”

　　”It’s me! Shi Jiasen! The chef of Y’M! You’ve been to my restaurant twice, have you forgotten?!”

　　”The first time you came, you said my food was not tasty. The second time you came, you tried the new main course I adjusted, but you gave it an okay review…”

　　Shi Jiasen’s resentment was clearly revealed on his face. “I adjusted it later and waited for you to come, but you never came again.”

　　”I saw that Ah Xu knew you, so I asked him to help me arrange something and went to the cafeteria of your company.”

　　”Me, me! I’m the BGS Gold Award winner. I went to the staff cafeteria just to find an opportunity for you to try the new dishes I prepared! But I waited for you for more than half a month before I found out that you actually resigned!”

　　”You, you, you… do you know how hard it was for me to find you?”

　　The tone sounded as if Tan Li was some scumbag who abandoned her husband and children.

　　Ying Heng’s dark eyes slowly turned to Tan Li.

　　Tan Li:?

　　Why are you looking at her like that?

　　She really doesn’t know this person.

　　”Heh.” Ying Heng smiled expressionlessly.

　　Tan Li thought that this man was going to be sarcastic again, but saw Ying Heng pointed his gun at Shi Jiasen, “Sir, who can remember the name of the chef in the restaurant they visited these days?”

　　”Isn’t this way of getting close to someone too blunt?”

　　Shi Jiasen was stunned, “Who are you?”

　　”It doesn’t matter who I am.” Ying Heng did not say that he was Ying Xu’s brother. He just said like a righteous passerby, “I just can’t stand your behavior of taking advantage of rich women.”

　　”Huh? Taking advantage of a rich woman?” Shi Jiasen frowned, “Who took advantage of a rich woman?”

　　”You.” Ying Heng said calmly.

　　He pointed at Tan Li and said, “Rich woman.”

　　He glanced at Shi Jiasen again, “You are using the rich woman’s money.”

　　That look was as if he was looking at a Phoenix man who wanted to work 30 years less.

　　When had Shi Jiasen ever been accused of this? He was a man with great ambitions. Rather than being obsessed with money, he wanted to be a person who left his name in the history of French cuisine.

　　Moreover, with his fame, how many rich people want to make a reservation but can’t! How could he come to take advantage of a rich woman!

　　”Who are you? Why did you jump out when I was talking to Tan Li?” Shi Jiasen said angrily, “Even if I want to get close to a rich woman, at least I have all my limbs intact, which is better than you who is in a wheelchair!”

　　Tan Li narrowed her eyes.

　　”At least he has a good brain even though he is in a wheelchair. It’s better than someone like you whose brain is so smooth as if there is no groove at all,” she said coldly.

　　Originally, Ying Heng’s face had turned black because of Shi Jiasen’s words.

　　He clenched his hands tightly around his legs, leaving deep wrinkles on the blanket covering his knees.

　　But when he heard Tan Li’s words, Ying Heng’s hand suddenly relaxed.

　　He even had a smile on his face, and glanced at Shi Jiasen with a proud look.

　　Shi Jiasen: !!!

　　It took him a while to react to what Tan Li meant, and the next second he met Ying Heng’s arrogant gaze. All of a sudden, it was as if there was a boiling kettle humming in his head.

　　Tan Li, who looked down on everyone, actually spoke up for the man in the wheelchair in front of him!

　　Shi Jiasen suddenly felt very aggrieved, “Speak for him!”

　　”You don’t remember me but you’re speaking for him!”

　　”…” Tan Li looked at him as if he was a fool, “He is my friend, and you and I don’t know each other.”

　　”If I don’t speak for him, how can I speak for you?”

　　Not to mention that she didn’t know the person in front of her, even if she did, Ying Heng was still a relatively special one among the people she knew.

　　This is the miracle child who changed the direction of the book of life, and it was all caused by her butterfly wings. It is not something that anyone else can easily compare to.

　　Ying Heng’s face became softer and softer. He had put away his stern look from before and sat in the wheelchair very obediently.

　　Whenever Tan Li said something, he nodded in agreement, as if he was Tan Li’s most loyal supporter.

　　Shi Jiasen: …

　　This is the correct way to get close to a rich woman, right?

　　Obviously Ying Heng looked like a lackey, but Tan Li’s eyes seemed to be covered with shit and she didn’t notice it at all.

　　Shi Jiasen clenched his fists and breathed rapidly through his nose, “I, you…”

　　He just hated himself for being too dumb and unable to say anything in rebuttal.

　　”Xiao Sen? Why are you here?”

　　Seeing that Tan Li and Ying Heng were slow to catch up, Tong Jing and Wen Hongjuan went back.

　　Seeing that Shi Jiasen was there, Wen Hongjuan couldn’t help but ask, “Is lunch ready for the children?”

　　”It’s all done. Xiao Wang and the others are dividing it.” Shi Jiasen seemed to have finally found his people. “Mother Wen, what are they doing here?”

　　Mom Wen?

　　Ying Heng’s eyes flashed with thoughts, and Tong Jing had already asked, “Chef Shi? Why are you here?”

　　Shi Jiasen knew that she was Tan Li’s person, and because of the grievance he had just suffered, he did not want to answer Tong Jing’s question for a moment.

　　”Do you know each other?” Wen Hongjuan was also a little surprised.

　　But she changed her mind and felt that some fate was truly wonderful.

　　”Xiao Sen was also in our orphanage when he was young, but he was adopted by someone else when he was 3 years old,” Wen Hongjuan said with a gentle smile. “Come to think of it, when Xiao Li and Xiao Sen were young, they even fought over a piece of bread.”

　　”Although Xiaoli was a little girl, she beat Xiaosen until he cried loudly at that time.”

　　”However, Xiao Sen was taken out of the country later, so you probably haven’t seen each other for a long time.”

　　really……

　　Ying Heng’s eyes darkened.

　　Shi Jiasen was stunned when he heard this, “I knew Tan Li when we were little?”

　　Not to mention that he couldn’t believe it, even Tong Jing opened her eyes wide.

　　”Yes.” Wen Hongjuan said with a smile, “But you were still young at that time, so it’s normal that you can’t remember it.”

　　Shi Jiasen stared at Tan Li in a daze, as if trying to find the shadow of his childhood memories in her.

　　Tan Li…

　　She looked calm and said, “That was a long time ago. I don’t remember it anymore.”

　　…

　　Tan Li’s ability to leave people speechless was still there. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and only Ying Heng curled his lips slightly.

　　”Humph!” Shi Jiasen said unwillingly, “Do you think I remember you?”

　　He spoke toughly but weakly, thinking that no one noticed. After he finished speaking, he gave Tan Li a wronged look.

　　Wen Hongjuan: …

　　Tong Jing: …

　　Ying Heng: …

　　”Didn’t you say to finish your work quickly and go have lunch?” Ying Heng looked impatient, “Then hurry up.”

　　Tong Jing’s eyes swept over the three of them, “…Oh, oh! Let’s hurry up then.”

　　”Let’s have lunch?” Wen Hongjuan invited enthusiastically, “How about eating with the children?”

　　”It just so happens that Xiao Sen came over these few days, and his cooking is so delicious.”

　　Shi Jiasen’s chest immediately straightened up, “That’s right! Don’t you even look at who I am!”

　　As he spoke, he turned to Tan Li and said, “I am a big man who doesn’t bear grudges. I will let you try the Christmas dinner I prepared for the children.”

　　Although he refused to admit defeat, his eyes revealed a hint of expectation.

　　Tan Li thought about it and realized that this place was not like Jiangcheng. There were not so many luxurious star-rated restaurants, and the orphanage was in the suburbs. If she waited until she was done to have lunch, she would probably be hungry for a while.

　　She herself didn’t care, it was fine to starve for a few days, but…

　　Tan Li lowered her head and asked Ying Heng, “Aren’t you hungry? How about eating here?”

　　Then, she received Ying Heng’s gloomy gaze.

　　Tan Li:?

　　Ying Heng stared at her for a long time, and the corners of his lips slightly raised, “Okay.”

　　”Then I’ll trouble Dean Wen and this…” He didn’t know where his usually gloomy look was hidden, and he immediately smiled brightly, “Mr. Shi.”

　　The expression changed so quickly that everyone was stunned.

　　Especially Tong Jing.

　　She had always thought that Ying Heng was a thoughtful, mature and steady person, but also a little gloomy because of his leg problem. But when she suddenly saw Ying Heng’s appearance, she was so shocked that she even forgot to control her expression.

　　Shi Jiasen frowned slightly. He felt that Ying Heng looked a little familiar.

　　Only Tan Li was left, with an indescribable look on her face.

　　At once……

　　Tan Li doesn’t know many smart people, Ying Heng is one of them, and Bing Huaer is also one of them.

　　Ying Heng’s smile now was exactly the same as Bing Huaer’s smile before she was about to play tricks, so similar that they seemed almost like they were carved from the same mold.

　　It wasn’t that she was overthinking it, but this sense of déjà vu made Tan Li wonder if all smart people would have this kind of expression before they started to act up.

　　From the corner of his eye, Ying Heng saw Tan Li let out a silent but disdainful “Huh”.

　　Ying Heng: …

　　The sunny smile on his lips froze, “Let’s go eat first.”

　　**

　　As the children’s laughter grew louder, everyone walked into the restaurant.

　　Seeing someone unfamiliar come in, the restaurant suddenly became quiet.

　　Some were very curious and stared at the people who had just come in, while some were timid and almost buried their faces in their plates.

　　”Children,” Wen Hongjuan said with a smile, “these brothers and sisters are here to have lunch with you. Do you welcome them?”

　　Almost as soon as the words fell, the children’s uniform voices came, “Welcome——”

　　Some shouted loudly, while others responded in a low voice.

　　A brave girl saw Tan Li’s whole body sparkling and ran up to her, “Big sister, you are so beautiful.”

　　Tan Li leaned over and patted her head gently, “Thank you.”

　　Tan Li had a face that was beautiful but also aggressive. When she wasn’t smiling, she looked even fierce and scary. But no one knew why, but even though she looked difficult to approach, several children gathered around her.

　　A few timid ones stood behind others and just looked at Tan Li quietly.

　　There was also a brave boy who stood with the girl and looked at her expectantly, “Big sister, are you here to adopt us?”

　　Everyone was stunned.

　　Tan Li shook her head calmly, “No.”

　　The boy blinked and slumped his shoulders in disappointment.

　　Wen Hongjuan quickly said, “But big sister brought you gifts!”

　　”After everyone has finished their meal, I will distribute the gifts that Big Sister brought to everyone in the afternoon.”

　　”Do you want to thank Big Sister?”

　　With the comfort of the gifts, a little light rekindled in the eyes of several children, “Thank you, big sister——”

　　Tan Li smiled and said nothing.

　　Wen Hongjuan had no choice but to continue, “Then everyone hurry up and eat well. Children who don’t eat well will not get any gifts.”

　　In an instant, all the children surrounding Tan Li ran away and sat down obediently to eat.

　　”Xiao Li,” Wen Hongjuan seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just said, “Don’t bother with them. These kids just want to have a family so badly.”

　　Tan Li: “No.”

　　Shi Jiasen was a little unhappy when he saw that Tan Li’s attitude was always cold and indifferent. He walked towards the children who had just been rejected by Tan Li and said, “Children, is today’s roasted chestnut chicken delicious?”

　　”Delicious!” Maybe because he had been here for a few days, the children were very friendly to him, “Brother Xiaosen, this is the most delicious chicken I have ever eaten!”

　　“Hahahahaha!” Even though he was praised by the children, Shi Jiasen was still very happy, “If it tastes good, eat more. Brother Xiaosen will make it for you!”

　　”Wow–“

　　”Thank you, Komori-nii^[1]ah-sen!”

　　”Brother Komori is so nice!”

　　Shi Jiasen’s nose grew longer. “After we finish the staple food, there will be cake later. As long as Brother Xiaosen is here, everyone will eat happily!”

　　”Wow! It would be great if there were so many delicious foods every day!” The children’s eyes were as bright as stars in the night sky.

　　Hearing this, Shi Jiasen paused.

　　Tan Li was watching from behind, her gaze becoming increasingly indifferent.
