Watching the man open the door and then lock it, Lin Zhi couldn't help but step forward and asked, "Hello, was this place called the True Love Welfare House before?"
The man turned his head, looked at her, and pointed at the words on the sign: "Friendship Welfare Society"
Then he ignored her and left.
Lin Zhi stood there for a long time and looked back, but he still didn't see anyone.
There are very few people living within a radius of more than ten kilometers around here, so she began to doubt whether the existence of this welfare home was real.
"Who are you looking for?"
Lin Zhi lowered his head to check the online ride-hailing service when a female voice suddenly came from the front.
She looked up and saw a middle-aged woman walking slowly towards her, holding vegetables such as green onions in her hands.
When she approached, Lin Zhi asked, "Excuse me, was this place called the True Love Welfare Home before?"
Fearing that the other party would ask her to look at the sign again, she said first, "I checked, this was the address of the True Love Welfare Home before."
The woman was startled for a moment, then smiled.
She had her hair tied in a low bun and had a kind face.
"Fifteen years ago, it was called the True Love Welfare Home. However, there was a fire at that time, so the director had no choice but to change the name."
The woman explained to her.
When she took out the key to unlock the door, Lin Zhi hurriedly said, "Can I go in with you? I was once a kid who went out here too."
Her words made the woman's expression change slightly.
The lock was opened, but the man did not rush in. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Lin Zhi with suspicion.
"What's your name?"
"I'm Lin Zhi."
"I meant your old name."
Lin Zhi was stunned. "I don't know. I was probably adopted when I was a baby."
The woman frowned and thought for a moment, "So what are you doing back now?"
"To confirm whether I was really adopted and not born to my parents."
Lin Zhi's eyes were full of sincerity.
The woman wanted to laugh but held it back. "In that case, you'll have to wait until next time. The dean isn't here, so you won't be able to check the files."
"When will the dean be back?"
"She's out on some business and will be away for a week. She just left today."
“…”
Lin Zhi watched the woman open the iron gate and enter the yard, then followed her and asked, "Do you have a bus to Fengcheng?"
"Then you have to go to town."
"In town?"
"Go straight, and you'll find the market down the hill. There are buses to various places, and there are also taxis."
"grateful."
Under the woman's guidance, Lin Zhi successfully found a taxi back to Fengcheng.

When Fu Lanchen learned that Lin Zhi was in a bad mood, he didn't work properly for the whole afternoon.
When Yang Zhao entered the office, he was staring at the computer screen.
"Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu?"
After calling out twice in a low voice, Fu Lanchen finally came back to his senses and saw that Yang Zhao was still a little embarrassed.
"What are you doing?"
Glancing at him coldly, Yang Zhao hurriedly placed the document in front of him with both hands, "Mr. Fu, this is the planning proposal with Ming Group. Please take a look."
Fu Lanchen glanced at him without much reaction.
Instead, after a moment of silence, he leaned forward and placed his arms on the desk. "Put aside your work now and thoroughly investigate everything that happened to Lin Zhi in Country M."
"Mr. Fu, didn't you just investigate?"
"Dig deeper, especially into her life."
Fu Lanchen emphasized.
Yang Zhao felt embarrassed, but still agreed, "Okay, I'll do it right away."
After work, Fu Lanchen drove to the apartment complex where Lin Zhi lived.
At that time, the night was falling.
He parked the car on the side of the road outside and didn't rush to get in. Instead, he turned down the air conditioner.
As it grew darker outside, he stared intently at everyone entering and leaving the apartment complex, but he couldn't see that familiar figure.
Just then, an accident happened.
A tall and thin man, holding a little girl in his arms, was walking towards him, talking and laughing.
Fu Lanchen unconsciously sat up straight, staring at the person who was getting closer with sharp eyes.
Pass by the car and walk away.
Fu Lanchen froze in place, and Junmei had already twisted into a ball without him noticing when.
"David Xu has a child?"
Thinking of this, he suddenly looked up at Lin Zhi's apartment complex, his eyes flashing with endless suspicion in an instant.
Whose child is it?
——
Lin Zhi came back late, but she didn't expect David and Sarah to pick her up outside her residence.
As soon as she got out of the car, Sarah on the side of the road waved at her, "Mommy."
Lin Zhi listened to the baby voice and turned his head happily: "Baoer."
She ran over and held Sarah in her arms, forgetting all her tiredness.
"Why did you bring her out?"
After kissing his daughter on the cheek, Lin Zhi rebuked David.
He laughed wantonly, his hands in his pockets as he followed the mother and daughter, "I can't coax her. But it's okay to come out."
"Aren't you afraid that someone with ulterior motives might take a picture of you and post it online? That would really be the end for me."
Lin Zhi's face was serious at this time.
She had just returned to the domestic entertainment industry and hadn't yet established herself. Coupled with the previous chaotic trending searches, her popularity had already declined. If she were to reveal she had a child, she couldn't imagine how dire the consequences would be.
However, Lin Zhi's idea coincided with the diligence of the paparazzi.
As they entered the apartment complex where they lived, the paparazzi who were sitting on a tree branch not far away jumped down contentedly and sorted out the big news captured in their cameras.
Late at night, Lin Zhi was awakened by a phone call.
She was a light sleeper, and for fear of disturbing Sarah, she quickly took her phone and went into the bathroom to answer the call.
"My fault."
