After learning of Lin Yiâs origins, Li Chuhanâs body visibly froze.
She did not expect him to have such a background.
âAre you a little surprised?â Lin Yi chuckled.
âWell, itâs nothing. There are so many orphans in this world. This doesnât change anything.â
What surprised Li Chuhan was not Lin Yiâs identity.
She just didnât expect Lin Yi to live so optimistically despite his background.
âWhen did you go to the orphanage?â Li Chuhan asked.
âI donât know how old I was at the time,â Lin Yi said.
âSince I can remember I was in the orphanage. Mother Wang didnât want to tell me too much about this, but once my father drank too much and revealed a bit about it. I think I was sent here when I was a few months old.â
âAre you happy in the orphanage?â Li Chuhan asked with concern.
âI heard that there are many orphanages in the country. The children canât eat their fill and are often beaten.â
âWeâre not that miserable, but beatings are common.â
âHuh? Did they hit you hard?â
âDonât even mention it, they almost killed me.â Lin Yi said.
âWhen I was in high school, a girl wrote me a love letter and secretly put it in my bag. I didnât even know about it. When I went back to do my homework and rummaged through my bag, I happened to see that love letter. Mother Wang happened to be by my side and thought that I was in a relationship at a young age. What was even more coincidental was that I liked to play basketball during that period of time, and my grades fell. Mother Wang thought that it was because I was in a relationship at a young age. At that time, she didnât say anything and immediately hit me. Fortunately, I covered my face in time.â
Li Chuhan was a little worried at first, but after hearing Lin Yiâs explanation, it didnât seem like much.
âDidnât you dodge?â
âNo.â Lin Yi shook his head.
âThere was a time when I went out to fight someone. When Mother Wang found out, she wanted to beat me up too. He chased after me, and I ran. In the end, she had a heart attack while chasing me. From then on, I didnât hide when she hit me, but after I went to university, she also stopped beating me.â
âItâs because youâve grown up. It wonât be good to keep hitting you.â
âNah, she couldnât hit me anymore because I was at a university in Zhonghai.â
Li Chuhan covered her mouth and chuckled, looking rather happy.
âHey, hey, hey, why did you turn the car around?â
âThereâs a mall nearby. Itâs not good to return empty-handed.â
âThereâs no need. I often buy things for her. I donât lack anything.â
âLetâs buy something anyway. After all, Iâm an outsider.â
âThen Iâll listen to you, because you have the steering wheel.â
Li Chuhan smiled again, looking warm and bright.
Due to time constraints, Li Chuhan chose the things quickly. She bought a gold bracelet and a Longines wristwatch, which cost about 50,000 yuan.
For someone with an income like Li Chuhanâs, this was not a small sum.
After shopping, the two of them drove to Blue Sky Welfare Institute.
Lin Yi looked at the outdoors area and realized that there was a huge change.
There was a brand new basketball hoop and many fitness equipment and entertainment facilities.
All of of this should be the result of Ji Qingyanâs masterpiece.
However, there was no one in the field at the moment. According to the schedule, it was time for their craft class.
The people who taught classes were also volunteers from the welfare institute. Due to their limited standards, the things they taught were very simple. However, to a certain extent, it enriched their childhood.
âBrother Yi!â
Hearing the shout, Lin Yi, Li Chuhan, and the others looked over.
They realized that in the classroom on the first floor, a little boy stuck his head out and shouted.
Then, many children ran to the window and shouted.
âBrother Yi!â
âBrother Yi!â
Immediately after, all the children in the classroom ran out.
A bold little girl ran to Lin Yiâs side.
âBrother Yi, hug me.â
Lin Yi didnât hesitate and hugged the little girl.
âWhy did you gain so much weight? If you continue eating, I wonât be able to carry you in the future.â
âYes, yes. Brother Yi is the best.â
Some of the bolder children surrounded Lin Yi, but the rest looked at Li Chuhan nervously.
This was because this beautiful big sister was a little unfamiliar.
âWhereâs Mother Wang? Is she inside?â
âYes, yes, yes.â
âLetâs go find Mother Wang.â
âUh-uh.â
In the office on the third floor, Wang Cuiping was making a call on her phone. The corners of her eyes were wrinkled from smiling.
The person on the phone was none other than Ji Qingyan.
âAunt Wang, Lin Yi must have wanted to give you a surprise, so he didnât tell you in advance,â Ji Qingyan said.
âYou mustnât say I told you.â
âDonât worry, we definitely wonât expose ourselves,â Wang Cuiping said.
âWhen youâre not busy with work in the future, come back with Little Yi. I havenât seen you for a long time. I missed you so much.â
âYes, yes. Iâm busy with a project now. Otherwise, I would have gone with Lin Yi.â
âWork is more important. Come back when youâre not busy. Mother Wang will make you delicious food.â
âUh-uh.â
âOld lady, stop fooling around. Lil Yi is back,â Zhao Quanfu shouted from the corridor.
âAlright, I got it,â Wang Cuiping replied haphazardly and said into the phone,
âI wonât talk to you anymore. Lil Yi is back. Iâll go out and take a look.â
âOkay, letâs talk when you have time.â
After hanging up, Wang Cuiping walked out happily.
Her son was promising and her daughter-in-law was settled. Moreover, they were both very filial and sensible. Was there anything that would make her happier than this?
What a contented life.
After tidying up her clothes, Wang Cuiping walked out.
However, he was surprised to see Lin Yi walking over with another beautiful woman.
Wang Cuiping was stunned for a while.
âWhatâs going on? Why did you bring another girl back?â
âMother Wang, youâve been great recently. Your face has become round.â
âYou rascal, stop making fun of me.â Wang Cuiping lectured him. Then, she looked at him with a questioning gaze, wanting to know Li Chuhanâs identity.
âLet me introduce you. This is Li Chuhan, the director of our department.â
Lin Yi didnât elaborate on his work, and Wang Cuiping didnât ask further.
She just wanted to find out Li Chuhanâs identity.
It would be fine if they were just colleagues, but if there were other complicated relationships, she would break his legs!
âHello, Auntie. Hello, Uncle.â Li Chuhan bowed slightly and said politely.
âI came in a hurry and didnât prepare anything for you. I hope you donât mind.â
He saw Li Chuhanâs greeting gift.
Wang Cuiping recognized it at a glance. It must have cost a lot.
From the looks of it, this girl in front of him was not bad.
âNo, no!
âIâm on Qingyanâs side!â
If there was really any form of relationship between them.
She had to teach him a lesson!
