Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C44
Liu Yuxi couldn’t understand why there were still so many orphans and abandoned babies every time she went to the orphanage. There were even more children in the orphanage than there were in the orphanage.
However, ever since she was adopted by the Liu family, although she did not have to worry about food and clothing, she could still remember those days in the orphanage. So when she grew up, when she was financially independent, Liu would take the time each year to return to the orphanage on a sunny day while the weather was still warm. Furthermore, without exception, every time she returned, she would return with a full load. Sometimes he would bring some snacks and candy, sometimes he would bring some clothes, shoes and socks, or he would simply take some of his savings and donate them to the orphanage.
This was because, more often than not, Liu Yuxi’s impression of this place wasn’t lonely or terrifying. Instead, it gave him a natural sense of familiarity.
When Liu Yuxi arrived at the orphanage earlier that day, she originally thought that the parking lot was supposed to be empty. However, she didn’t expect that the place where she used to park her car would already have a bright red SUV parked there.
There were basically no outsiders here, she thought to herself, let alone a girl like this who drove a red SUV. As she thought about it, she took her things and walked into the courtyard.
“Xi Xi is here!” Come in, come in, take so many things, don’t call before you come, I’ll pick you up at the station. It’s been a long time since you’ve come, and we’re all talking about you! The kids missed you too. Yesterday, Yuan Yuan asked me when Big Sister Xi Xi was coming. ” Upon seeing Liu Yuxi, Mr Xu, who was sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard, hurriedly put down his broom and affectionately told her this.
Liu Yuxi laughed, “I have a car here, so it’s not troublesome. It just so happens that I’m on vacation today, so I came to visit you guys.” “Oh right, whose car is that?”
Looking around, Mr Xu suddenly said, “It should be Weiwei’s car. She just arrived yesterday.”
Liu Yuxi frowned and said, “She’s here too? She never came here before, why is she here now? ”
Mrs Xu was still young, hence she did not know the reason for their kindness, “This I do not know. Perhaps she has gone to look for the Principal.”
Liu Yuxi’s expression was solemn as he followed Mr Xu to the children’s classroom. However, when she saw these children, she immediately forgot all about them.
Yuan Yuan ran over first. She took the initiative to pull Liu Yuxi’s hand and asked, “Sister Xi Xi, what took you so long? We have a new little guy here, why don’t you come with me to take a look. ”
Liu Yuxi looked towards Mr Xu, who smiled as he explained, “It was a baby that was delivered over ten days ago.” “Well, yesterday was the full moon. Tsk tsk, what a pity.”
Liu Yuxi sat down on the chair himself, and then picked up Yuan Yuan and sat on his lap. As he played with the blocks, he distributed the snacks around him to the other children, and asked, “Why is it so small? Why would a child who has just reached the full moon come to an orphanage? ”
Mr Xu sighed, saying regretfully, “This child’s life was miserable. Father died in a car accident the day he was born. Then, less than a week after she was born, her mother committed suicide by jumping off a building. What a pity.
Liu Yuxi shivered. Weiwei’s nose was sore. It was hard to imagine how a child with a lot of luck would live his life in the future.
Yuan Yuan suddenly raised his hand and wiped the tears off Liu Yuxi’s face with his little finger, solemnly comforting her, “Sister Xi, don’t cry. Although that little sister is still young, we are all adults. We will protect her! Don’t worry, we won’t let anyone bully her! ”
Liu Yuxi looked at his decent expression and laughed through his tears, “You’re still a kid, how did you become an adult? Wait till you grow up! ”
Curious, Yuan Yuan asked, “But I’ve already grown taller this year. Teacher said that I’ve grown taller, so I’m an adult now!”
Liu Yuxi and Mr Xu looked at each other and smiled. She said, “You’ll be an adult when you grow up to be as tall as big sister Xi Xi Xi!”
Yuan Yuan nodded, she seemed to understand, then said with a dejected expression, “Then how many days do I need to grow up?” After saying that, he rested his chin on his hands and looked at the sky outside the window, not saying a word.
Seeing this, Liu Yuxi gently put him down, before saying to Mr Xu, “I’ll go see the Principal first. I’ll be back to accompany them in a while.”
The dean was a strong and elegant woman who, after many hardships and hardships in her youth, at the age of 35, resolutely opened the orphanage with her friends. Furthermore, because she had inherited Liu Yuxi’s memories of her family and parents when she was young, Liu Xi had always relied on and relied on Dean Quan no matter when or where.
Liu Yuxi quietly walked to the door of her office. Just as she was about to knock, the door in front of her was suddenly opened. Liu Yuxi was stunned. He looked at Liu Yuxi and suddenly smiled.
“How have you been? How have you been?” Quan Wei looked at Liu Yuxi and said with a fake smile.
Liu Yuxi looked at her face and spotted the fallen leaves outside the window on the other side. All of a sudden, a gust of wind blew past. The fallen leaves swirled into a yellow vortex, floating strangely in the air.
Liu Yuxi came back to his senses and smiled, “Fortunately, there’s nothing to do these days. I’m still the same as ever.”
Quan Wei meaningfully replied with a “Oh”. She pretended to be envious and said, “It’s really not easy. A rich family is really different, even being a bug speaks with such righteousness.”
Liu Yuxi seemed to have already gotten used to her aggressive attitude, shrugged and said, “It’s okay, you had to put in a lot of effort to choose the Ye Family. Otherwise, perhaps you would be the one to be the ‘worm’ today. ”
Quan Wei sneered as she looked at her. She was a little tired, but she was unwilling to accept it. “Then I won’t disturb you any longer.”
Liu Yuxi watched her back as she left with quick steps, and her high heels made a sharp, ear-piercing sound in the corridor. She took a deep breath, a little uncomfortable. Then, she knocked on the door and walked into the President Quan’s office.
Principal Quan had just sent off Quan Wei, and hadn’t expected Liu Yuxi at all. She looked at Liu Yuxi in surprise, both hands pulling her to her side as she sized her up with concern.
“Dean, don’t look at me like that. It makes me feel flustered. I always feel like you taught me a lesson after I made a mistake when I was young.” Liu Yuxi couldn’t help but joke.
Principal Quan gave a helpless but satisfied smile, “You’re still like that, only knowing how to make up nonsense! I really didn’t expect you to come back, no, Weiwei just left, I didn’t have time to wash the water glasses. You sit down first, I’ll go pack up! ”
Liu Yuxi quickly stopped her and said, “I’ll go. I’ve come here with great difficulty. I’ve got to help you with your housework. You just have to rest here!”
At first, Principal Quan didn’t want her to make a move, but in the end, he couldn’t refuse and could only agree.
Liu Yuxi brought the two water cups to the side of the pool. She was waiting for the temperature of the water to rise, and unconsciously looked at the two water cups in her hands.
Headmaster Quan had brought back a lot of fruits by himself. He arranged them according to Liu Yuxi’s taste that he liked since he was young, and then waited for her to come back with satisfaction.
Not long later, Liu Yuxi wiped his hands clean, then happily returned to Dean Quan’s side.
“How is it? Do you have a boyfriend now? ” As he spoke, he handed her an orange.
When Liu Yuxi arrived in front of Dean Quan, he unconsciously relaxed. Many thoughts that he didn’t want to say they couldn’t be said surged out from his mind. She couldn’t help but pout her lips and complain, “No, I didn’t. I originally met one of them, but in the end he had a girlfriend. “Then I met another one, and he broke up because of the two of us.
Although Principal Quan was already over sixty years old, her mind was still spry and quick-witted. She looked benevolently at Liu Yuxi, and saw her chattering away about all the happy things in her life, as if she had suddenly returned to Liu Yuxi’s childhood. A warm feeling slowly began to flow through her heart.
President Quan could not help but sigh and say, “Now that you all have grown up, you have your own career and family. A few days ago, Xiao Yun came back and told me that she was already two months pregnant.
Liu Yuxi tightly held her hand, still as intimate and warm as ever.
She asked, “Just now, when I was coming over, I saw Quan Wei at the entrance. How is she recently?”
When Principal Quan heard her mention Quan Wei, a trace of unnoticeable worry quickly flashed across his face. “Fortunately, she’s the same as always.”
Liu Yuxi followed up, “Principal, I haven’t heard you mention anything about Quan Wei in all these years. I remember that she had parents when she came, right?”
Principal Quan looked at Liu Yuxi and explained, “At that time, you were still young, but you were mistaken. At that time, how could Quan Wei have any parents? It was just a passerby picking her up and sending her to us. In the end, we didn’t even know what her name was, so we had to use my surname. ”
Liu Yuxi nodded. Indeed, there were too many nameless children in this orphanage. Back then, the dean had no other choice but to let the nameless children use his surname. As for Quan Wei, she was one of the many children.
As for Liu Yuxi himself, Principal Quan once told her that when she was picked up at the entrance of the orphanage, there was a piece of paper containing her birthday and name. However, Liu Yuxi didn’t care. She only wanted her name. As for her birthday, she changed it to the day that Dean Quan picked her up. Liu Yuxi had always believed that the day he had been picked up was the day he would be reborn. She didn’t want to think about the day she was born. After all, if the day had been happy enough, there would have been no abandonment of her own biological parents.
Seeing Liu Yuxi in a daze, Principal Quan thought that Liu Yuxi had once again recalled the incident when she was young and Quan Wei. Feeling sorry for her, he comforted her, “Xi Xi, are you still thinking about the incident with Weiwei when you were young?”
Liu Yuxi didn’t say anything, but just as he was about to explain, Principal Quan nodded and explained, “At that time, it was my fault. I was the one who spoiled Weiwei.” However, when the Ye Family came to adopt a child, they took a fancy to Weiwei immediately. Although she took your place that day, your families are no longer the same. You don’t have to worry about it, okay? ”
Liu Yuxi was a little unhappy. She was once again reminded of the incident when she was young by Dean Quan.
That was in Liu Yuxi’s third year in the orphanage. Since Quan Wei was a few years older than her, it was hard for her to bully the younger ones. At first, Liu Yuxi and the others didn’t say anything, just silently enduring. But one day, when the teacher suddenly told them that two university professors would come today to pick a child to bring back to her house, Quan Wei’s competitive spirit and jealousy only intensified. She first locked Xiao Yun and Chuchu in her bedroom to prevent them from coming out, then brought Liu Yuxi to the forest at the back of the mountain, leaving her alone.
So, in the end, Quan Wei was naturally taken away by the Ye couple. Thus, as expected, Quan Wei became the daughter of the Ye family.
However, just half a year later, Liu Yuxi, who had been thwarted by Quan Wei in a myriad of ways, was adopted by the Liu family as a child of the Liu family.
Every time Liu Yuxi thought of this, she felt that no matter what he was doing, the heavens would always be watching. As the saying goes, “when people do it, the heavens watch.” There are many things that can’t be snatched away. Liu Yuxi knew this logic, but she didn’t know if Quan Wei knew it.
Liu Yuxi comforted her, “Principal, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time now. “Don’t worry, we are adults. We will take good care of ourselves.”
Principal Quan smiled benevolently and said reluctantly to Liu Yuxi, “You guys, no matter how old you are, even if you have your own son and daughter … However, when you stand in front of me, you will never grow up to be children.
Liu Yuxi nodded obediently as happiness filled her heart.
After returning to the city center from the orphanage, Liu Yuxi drove directly to Lin Manshou’s house.
“Where’s Ye Qingming?” He didn’t accompany you today? ” Liu Yuxi gulped down a large cup of water.
Lin Qingrou explained, “He’s on duty today, so how could he have time to accompany me? Besides, I don’t need him. Drink slowly and be careful not to choke. ”
Liu Yuxi wiped the corner of his mouth, then took out a yellow plastic bag from his bag and passed it to Lin Qingrou.
Lin Qingrou was curious, “What is this? A water glass? ”
Liu Yuxi said thoughtfully, “This is Quan Wei’s water glass that I just received from the orphanage. I always felt that one day I would need it, so I brought it back.”
Lin Qingrou muttered to himself for a moment. “You’re talking about Quan Wei’s background?”
“Mhm, I’m suspecting that Quan Wei should be related to the Ye family. Some were direct relatives, some were distant relatives. Did you know that every foster would look back and forth three or four times before deciding who to take with them? You say, normal people would even buy a house five or six times, let alone a living person! Furthermore, there’s no way to retreat or exchange for it! ”
“This is the first time the Ye Family sent someone the day we were separated by Quan Wei. You also know, the Ye family’s two elders had several children at that time. Moreover, they were all old professors, so they had to be careful when dealing with situations. They had to consider carefully before doing anything, not to mention adopting a child. So, how could they take her away after seeing her for the first time in less than an hour? That’s why I suspect that they might even know who Quan Wei is and who she is. ”
Lin Qingrou retorted, “Then… Whose child could she be? It is unlikely that they were the children of Ye Qingming’s parents. After all, they would not have been able to send their children to an orphanage and then adopted them back. They had no reason to do so. ”
Liu Yuxi also said solemnly, “Could it be Ye Qingming …”
“Ye Qingming was only a few years old, yet you suspect him?” Lin Qingrou interrupted her.
Liu Yuxi sighed, “Tsk, tsk, look. You even said that you didn’t feel anything for Ye Qingming, and now you’re even starting to cover for him.”
She snickered and said seriously, “Think about it, how old were his elder sister and second elder sister at that time?”
Lin Manrou thought for a while and said, “When Quan Wei was adopted, Ye Qingcheng should have been 25 years old, while Ye Qingzhi and Ye Qinggran should have been 23 years old.”
Liu Yuxi sat on the dining table with his arms crossed, deep in thought and drowsy from the fight between his eyes and hers.
Lin Qingrou thought of the clues Liu Yuxi had given her. She picked up the cup of water in front of her and carefully sized it up.
The year that Quan Wei was born, Ye Qingcheng was 20 years old while Ye Qingzhi and Ye Qinggran were 18 years old. Both of them were young and impulsive. However, based on Ye Qingzhi’s many years of living conditions and personality, she didn’t seem to be the kind of person who would do such a thing. As for Ye Qingran, Lin Qingrou clearly remembered investigating her divorce from her ex-husband. It was said that she had been childless due to her poor health.
Then… Would Quan Wei be related to Ye Qingcheng?!
Lin Qingrou was at a loss. This was because she didn’t have enough evidence or clues to support her, so she couldn’t believe what she had deduced.
