When he returned to the place where he first lived, Lu Anning only had some fragmented images in his mind.

The orphanage before me was no longer the dilapidated one it once was; it had been completely renovated inside and out. There were many luxury cars parked in the open-air parking lot at the entrance.

Lu Anning was suspicious. Could it be that... it was becoming popular for rich people to adopt children from orphanages now?

Lu Anning was about to go in with doubts, but was stopped by the security guard at the door.

"You can't just walk in here. Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"I used to be a child in an orphanage, and I came here specially to see the director and my former teacher." Lu Anning pointed to the boxes of apples in the trunk.

She came in a hurry today and didn't have time to prepare so much, so she just bought a little.

The security guard took a quick look and said nonchalantly, "I don't care who you're here to see. Not today. Our dean has to personally receive important people, and there are also many clients coming. There's no room for you. Get out of here!"

The security guard was about to chase people away, which Lu Anning had not expected. There were no such rules when she was in the orphanage.

Has it changed over the years?

She was about to explain to the security guard when she saw Lin Tao jogging towards her from afar and was overjoyed.

"Lin Tao!"

Lin Tao was startled and ran over quickly, wondering, "Didn't you go to the Lu family? Why are you here?"

"I was also wondering why you came here when you weren't at the company? This is the orphanage where I used to live. I came over to take a look after leaving the Lu family, but the security guard wouldn't let me in."

Lin Tao glanced at the security guard, who immediately shrank back in fear. "Assistant Lin, the dean is worried that someone might disturb you. I didn't realize this lady knew you."

"Now you know? Ask two people to come and move the things. I'm talking to the dean right now. Please follow me."

Seeing Lin Tao being so respectful to Lu An Ning, the security guard was so frightened that he apologized repeatedly and quickly had the fruit moved in.

After entering, Lu Anning asked curiously: "Does our company also have business in orphanages?"

Lin Tao smiled: "I only follow the orders of the Third Master. If you have any questions, you can ask him in person later."

In the office, Tang Jingyuan was treated as a distinguished guest by Director Ouyang Ying. When Lu Anning walked into the director's office, she almost thought she had walked into the wrong place. She had no idea that the orphanage director's office was so luxurious that the desks and chairs were made of golden nanmu wood.

The tea table set placed to the north alone was estimated to have cost over 100,000 yuan. Its fine mahogany wood was intricately carved with lifelike images of mountains, rivers, and rocks. Nearby, the fragrance of tea wafted from an exquisite blue and white porcelain tea set.

Ouyang Ying was wearing a set of Tiancan silk Zen robes, and her long hair was tied up with a Hetian jade hairpin. She looked noble and elegant, and her eyes were full of kind smiles while she talked and laughed.

Lu Anning's memory was brought back. When she was in the orphanage, Ouyang Ying was just a life teacher. Unexpectedly, she has become the director now.

After not seeing her for many years, she looked much younger than Lu Anning had imagined. She was in her fifties but looked like she was only in her forties. She was well maintained.

After just a quick glance, Lu Anning looked away and smiled at Tang Jingyuan.

"Boss, do your employees know that you skipped work to come here?"

Tang Jingyuan smiled indulgently: "Why are you here?"

"After so many years, I suddenly remembered today and came to see my old friend. I just didn't expect that the dean here has changed."

Lu Anning nodded slightly to Ouyang Ying and asked with a smile, "Teacher Ouyang, do you still remember me?"

Ouyang Ying's eyes flashed with surprise. He stared at Lu An Ning and thought for a while, then his eyes lit up: "Are you the child that the Lu family took back home that year?"

"Teacher Ouyang, long time no see."

"An Ning, is that right? I haven't seen you in so many years, I almost didn't recognize you. You're so beautiful!" Ouyang Ying sighed from the bottom of her heart: "Are you acquainted with Mr. Tang?"

Lu Anning glanced at Tang Jingyuan and said with a smile, "We have a deep connection."

Tang Jingyuan curled his lips and did not deny it. Ouyang Ying stopped asking and became more respectful towards Lu Anning.

After a few pleasantries, Lu An Ning explained his purpose. Ouyang Ying was stunned and smiled gently.

"The old director later retired due to poor health, and I took over the orphanage. If you want to find him, I can give you the address. What can I do for you?"

Lu Anning smiled and said, "Firstly, I wanted to see him and ask him about my life experience to see what he knows."

Ouyang Ying understood: "It's natural to want to find your family when you are able to do so." She readily wrote down the address and handed it to Lu An Ning. When she looked, she found that it was a nursing home.

Lu Anning was about to ask something when Ouyang Ying's phone rang.

Seeing her hurried out, Lu Anning quietly asked Tang Jingyuan: "What are you doing here?"

Tang Jingyuan glanced at Lu Anning and snorted, "Spend the money."

Lu Anning raised her eyebrows. Did Tang Jingyuan also like to do charity? She hadn't noticed that.

After a while, Ouyang Ying hurried in and smiled awkwardly, "I'm so sorry! Mr. Tang, there's something in the hospital that I need to go over and take care of personally. How about I arrange for someone to show you around first?"

"Just let Dean Ouyang go and do his work. An Ning grew up here, so it's a good opportunity for her to show me around. We'll be leaving soon, so there's no need to bother anyone else."

While Ouyang Ying was hesitating, her cell phone rang again. She hung up in a hurry and had no choice but to agree. She hurriedly gave a few instructions and left.

Lu Anning was a little surprised to see Ouyang Ying in such a hurry. She had always been a steady person. What made her so anxious?

They asked Lu Anning to lead the way, but after coming out, Lu Anning found that the orphanage had changed a lot and no longer looked like what she remembered. Even she herself could not tell which direction was which.

Looking at the other teachers here, they were all unfamiliar faces. She even wondered if she had come to the wrong place.

When Lu An Ning was wondering where to go, a figure rushed out from the corner and grabbed her arm tightly.

"Sister, save me! Save us!"
