Chapter 48
[Xiao Li, Zhan Xinjia
I saw on the Internet that you are now the daughter of the super wealthy Tan family! Is it true?
If it is true, that would be great! Congratulations! You finally found your family!
But, is it because you just returned to the wealthy family and are too busy that you haven't contacted me recently?
However, it doesn't matter. 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 with a try-and-see attitude.
I hope this letter can reach you.
By the way, I plan to go to the orphanage during the New Year's Day holiday. If you have anything to tell Dean Wen, you can also tell me. My mobile phone number is still the original one.
Weng Xue. The letter
was sent to Tan's company. It seemed to have been in the communication room for a long time. Because there was no department information written on it and Tan Li had left the company long ago, no one claimed it. The envelope was a little frayed.
If Yao Mengmeng hadn't accidentally seen Tan Li's name in a pile of letters when she picked up the express delivery a few days ago, this letter might not have reached Tan Li at all.
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. The telecommunications industry is so developed these days, and it seems that there are very few people writing letters.
Tan Li stared at the signature at the end of the letter, and was a little absent-minded.
Weng Xue...
seems like someone I knew a long, long time ago.
Tan Li stayed in the Infinite Flow World for too long, so long that she almost forgot all the people in her real life.
After returning from the Infinite Flow World, she was taken back by the Tan family. She did not take away anything in the rental house at that time, whether it was her original clothes, belongings, mobile phone, or even friends and past.
"Xiao Tong, 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 left outside for many years, since she followed Tan Li, it seemed that she had never heard Tan Li talk about the past.
Tan Li's expression was very indifferent. Tong Jing could not tell from her face what Tan Li thought of the orphanage that raised her.
Tong Jing pondered for a moment, calculating in her mind how much the gift should be to suit Tan Li's mood.
Suddenly -
"Boss, Christmas is in a few days. Are you going to spend Christmas in Linzhen?" Tong Jing couldn't help asking.
Tan Li thought for a moment and said, "No, I'll be back before then."
"Okay." Tong Jing felt vaguely that Tan Li might not 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, crossing her legs, concentrating on matching clothes for Le Tong to wear today, not at all sleepy because of the rare early rise.
Hearing Ying Heng's words, she didn't even raise her head and replied, "Didn't I promise to protect you? I'm going to be away for a long time. What if you get into an accident while I'm away?"
"So, it's safer to leave you under my nose."
"Hey," Tan Li suddenly approached Ying Heng, "Do you think this looks good?"
The strong smell of her perfume suddenly hit him, and Ying Heng leaned back subconsciously.
Halfway through leaning, he stopped again, rubbed his fingertips slightly on his side, and leaned forward slightly.
"This makeup is not suitable," Ying Heng raised his hand and swiped directly on Tan Li's mobile phone. While looking for 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, "My assistant went out to deliver the goods, and 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."
Tan Li didn't say anything about the speeding, drifting, and stopping of other problematic vehicles on the road before. Did he think he didn't know?
Hearing this, Tan Li slowly raised her head and raised her lips, "I am a rich girl, how can I drive by myself? That's so embarrassing."
Ying Heng: ...
"Oh." He quickly operated a few times on Tan Li's mobile phone and leaned back in his chair, "Then you are really impressive to take someone else's car."
Tan Li showed her double standards to the fullest, "Of course, my existence itself is very impressive."
She admired Ying Heng's beauty and said, "Can't you be Le Tong's exclusive image designer?"
"No." Ying Heng didn't even need to think and refused immediately.
Sitting in the front driver's seat was Ying Heng's assistant, named Liang Yian.
At this time, he secretly glanced at the rearview mirror and was amazed in his heart.
Ying Heng, who usually refuses to go out no matter who invites him and just stays at home to grow mushrooms, actually went out without any restraint because of a call from the eldest lady of the Tan family? ! Ying
Heng, who usually does not respond to anyone who talks to him and sticks to the image of a gloomy and quiet beautiful boy, actually had a primary school quarrel with the eldest lady of the Tan family here in front of his transparent assistant? !
Wow -
the eldest lady of the Tan family, Tan Li, is also a god.
Liang Yian gave Tan Li the warmest applause in his heart, but his face did not show any sign.
Because the departure time was early, the distance between Jiangcheng and Linzhen was not that far. When the group arrived at the Blue Sky Orphanage, it was just after 11 o'clock in the afternoon.
Tan Li touched her belly and said, "Solve it early and go to eat early."
Ying Heng glanced at her, not knowing what she was anxious about.
She didn't seem to have any nostalgia for the orphanage where she was raised since she was a child, and she didn't even want to stay a little 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 almost the same life investigation book that Tan Pei had read. But after several encounters, Ying Heng knew that the person in the investigation book was not, at least not someone he knew. That Tan Li.
What he wanted to know was Tan Li, who was pulling him out of the mire of depression while speaking unpleasant words.
Ying Heng turned his head and looked at Tan Li quietly, as if he wanted to see through her true thoughts.
But looking at it...
"Didn't you say that we should settle down and go to dinner early?" Ying Heng didn't understand, "Then why are you sitting still without getting out of the car?"
Tan Li still maintained her posture with her legs stretched out, as if You can live and die with the chair forever.
Tan Li glanced at the time on her phone and said, "Wait, my show isn't here yet."
Ying Heng: ???
He was about to ask more when the sound of a car engine came faintly from outside the car.
Tan Li relaxed. "My show is coming."
Ying Heng looked in the rearview mirror and
saw a large truck coming from a distance with smoke and dust.
Ying Heng: ...
He felt that his heart was full of twists and turns. I felt like a fool.
When the two got off the car, all the trucks had arrived.
Tong Jing jumped out of the front truck and said, "Boss, the things have been delivered."
"Snacks, toys, books, and children's toys. " I have prepared all the daily necessities you 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 disturbance.
"What's wrong? The air in the countryside should be better than in the city. ?” Tan Li was so considerate and kind.
“Oh,” Ying Heng was not ashamed, but proud, “I am a difficult person and I am a bit pretentious.”
Tan Li: “Then you are quite self-aware.”
Ying Heng's eyebrows twitched and he forced a fake business smile, "Of course."
"So this is the orphanage where you used to stay?" Ying Heng didn't want to engage in meaningless verbal battle with Tan Li, so he quickly changed the subject. The topic.
The original red bricks were faded, perhaps because of age or frequent cleaning. The grayish-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 The clothes were worn out.
Ying Heng was stunned. He didn't even realize that his expression softened at this moment.
"Yeah." Tan Li's eyebrows were 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 countless years. Now, looking back, this orphanage where she had stayed for nearly 18 years seemed much smaller than she remembered
. You can flip over it in an instant.
Perhaps the noise at the door was too loud, a head popped out of the orphanage.
"Who are you?" The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman, wearing a red cotton coat that had faded from washing. Her skin was a little dark, and the marks of time had left her face red. Wrinkles appeared on her face.
It was winter, and maybe it was because of the cold, but her nose and ears were a little red.
She looked out the iron gate and saw a beautiful woman dressed in extraordinarily gorgeous clothes and a stern man in a wheelchair. A truck that seems to have no end...
When has the middle-aged woman ever seen such a strange combination? She didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Hello, Auntie. My name is Tong Jing. You can call me Xiao Tong." Tong Jing considered herself How could a qualified assistant ask the boss to explain it in person at this time?
She took the initiative to step forward and said, "I talked to your staff on the phone yesterday. As the New Year is approaching, I came here to give some gifts to the children."
"I wonder if you can open the door for me?" Tong Jing The middle-aged woman suddenly
realized, "It's you!"
She smiled and opened the door, "I was wondering when you would come over!"
"Squeak--"
With the rusty iron The door was opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in.
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 into the door and looked around first.
A faded slide, a swing swaying in the wind, a half-old building, and creepers on the corners stretching tentative branches upward .
The cold winter wind blows...
"This is quite suitable as a background for a horror game." Tan Li touched his chin and turned to Tong Jing. "Talk to Xiao Ruan and ask her to take the scene. Maybe it will be useful." So that she can use it as material for her horror game. "
When these words came out, Tong Jing and the middle-aged woman, who were still greeting each other, were frozen.
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
