Chapter 421: The Fool Bai Qiu and the Deceased Shen Zhichu
"Two years."
"Then do you know how long the dean has been here?" Bai Qiujing asked.
The old man replied, "It's been a long time, at least twenty years." He dedicated his youth to these children.
Why did Li Jingshen ask him to come here to meet the director of the orphanage? It couldn't be that he had anything to do with the orphans here, right?
Bai Qiujing thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. After filling out the form, he handed it to the old man.
"I haven't asked yet, what are you doing here?"
"I just came to ask the dean some questions and talk about the grant."
At this moment, the dean received the news and was stunned when she looked at Bai Qiujing.
She knew that this was Bai Qiujing, the most popular actor in the entertainment industry, but when she looked at his face, she couldn't help but think of that big fool Bai Qiu.
Her eyes suddenly reddened. Thinking of Bai Qiu's dismembered body after falling into the sea, her heart ached. She knew he was mentally ill, so why had she let him leave the orphanage without permission? If she had kept a close eye on him, Bai Qiu might not have been kidnapped by the bad guys.
The dean was accompanied by other staff members and volunteers.
Recognizing Bai Qiujing, the crowd screamed, "Bai, it's Bai, why is he here alone? Can Qiujing get an autograph?"
It would have been fine if only one or two people wanted autographs, but when they called, all the children came over.
Bai Qiujing is so popular that everyone, from five-year-old children to old ladies in their seventies or eighties, will feel good about him just by looking at his face, even if they don't know him.
The director reprimanded them immediately and asked the staff to take the child inside and keep quiet.
The dean is usually very gentle, but when he really shows his temper, the group of children will definitely obey him.
After the group of people left, the dean took Bai Qiujing to the dean's office.
Bai Qiujing glanced around. Although it was his first time here, he felt it was very familiar, as if he had dreamed of it. The orphanage was like a spacious kindergarten, with entertainment areas for children and cute graffiti on the walls. Unexpectedly, the exterior was also well decorated with a large wisteria trellis. It was not the time for the flowers to bloom yet. In April and May, the wisteria flowers would hang down and look like a purple waterfall from a distance.
The dean didn't know how to start. Firstly, it was because of the other person's identity, and secondly, he looked too much like Bai Qiu.
She silently poured Bai Qiujing a cup of hot water and placed it in front of him. After a long silence, she said, "You..."
"Dean, I came here to ask you a question. Is there someone in the orphanage who looks like me?" Bai Qiujing didn't like beating around the bush. He had been thinking about this question while driving, and asked the question as soon as he saw the dean.
The dean was stunned, wondering why Bai Qiujing knew this.
Bai Qiujing's heart sank when he saw the dean's expression. Could it be that what Li Jingshen said was true?
"There used to be someone who looked very similar to you, but he died five years ago."
"What's his name."
"Bai Qiu."
When Bai Qiujing heard these two words, his heart suddenly tightened. He resisted the urge to cover his heart with his hand, raised it, and moved it to the water cup in front of him.
The water had just boiled, and the surface of the cup was scalding hot, but he didn't feel any pain when he put his palm on it. His job was acting, and he was an award-winning and box office-winning actor. His acting was so good that even if he felt uncomfortable, he wouldn't show it on his face.
The dean didn't notice anything unusual about Bai Qiujing. She told him whatever he wanted to know. Finally, she took out the photo album and pointed at the tall, thin man in the old T-shirt and said, "This is the Bai Qiujing I was talking about..."
Bai Qiujing looked over and was stunned for a moment. He guessed that the man named Bai Qiu looked more or less like him, but he didn't expect them to be so similar, just like twin brothers.
They look alike after all, but they are not the same person. In terms of appearance, Bai Qiujing is of course more outstanding, and his temperament and dress are different, while Bai Qiu is just a simple fool.
There were many photos of the orphanage, hundreds of pages in a thick album. Bai Qiujing flipped through them one by one and asked the director nonchalantly, "Do you know Shen Zhichu?"
Bai Qiujing waited for a while but didn't get any response from the dean, so he looked up at her.
The dean said, "I don't know if the Shen Zhichu I know is the Shen Zhichu you are talking about. The Shen Zhichu I knew died three years ago. She was the eldest daughter of the Shen family, the Shen Zhichu that all the women in Rongcheng envied."
Before the Shen family went bankrupt, Shen Zhichu was so amazing, no less than any other man, and he single-handedly supported half of Chengdu.
There are too many people with the same name in the world, not to mention that the Shen Zhichu that the dean knew had died three years ago... That was not the Shen Zhichu he knew at all, what did it have to do with him.
Bai Qiujing was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he flipped through the photo album and his eyes casually glanced at a photo. It was a photo of Bai Qiu and a woman. Bai Qiu was a fool, and his smile was a silly one. It was marked that he had eight big white teeth exposed, and the two pointed canine teeth that were exposed were very eye-catching.
There was a turbulent undercurrent in Bai Qiujing's dark eyes, and the alarm bells in his heart were ringing.
