Rather than discovering Wu Yue's background, Wen Jingyi was always more concerned about Bai Mengqiu's background.
She recalled carefully that the servant at home said the three words "Lezhiju".
"Isn't this the Lezhiju Orphanage?"
"Of course we do here."
The dean shook his head. "But I've been here for decades, and I remember every child. A girl as beautiful as your sister must have left a deeper impression on me."
“But I have no impression at all.”
He pushed away Bai Mengqiu's photo and said, "Either your family is lying, or you've got the wrong person."
"is that so……"
Wen Jingyi took back the photo thoughtfully.
We have finally made some progress, but is the clue going to be cut off again because of Bai Mengqiu's life experience?
She felt indescribably disappointed.
I thought I had found a useful clue, but when I took over Bai Mengqiu's clue, I didn't find anything. Instead, I uncovered Wu Yue's identity.
And I learned that... Bai Mengqiu is not a child from this orphanage?
"Sorry for disturbing you today," Wen Jingyi's expression quickly returned to normal. She smiled at the dean and said, "Maybe I remembered it wrong. I'll ask again when I get back."
"I'm really sorry to bother you today."
When she got up to leave, Wen Jingyi left an envelope of cash for the dean and said, "Just think of it as an anonymous donation for the children."
The dean stood up in panic and said, "This is too much. Our children have enough food and clothing now, so they don't need so much money."
Besides, it’s just answering a few questions, it’s not a big deal.
This money was what Wen Jingyi wanted to give sincerely.
She could tell that the dean was a good person, so in order to reassure him, she said:
"I'm actually an orphan too. Consider this money as compensation for my childhood regrets. Please accept it."
It can also be considered as compensation for Wen Jingyi deceiving the dean into asking so much information.
Wen Jingyi stood up to say goodbye, and the dean sighed as he saw her off, expressing his gratitude for meeting a kind person today.
The children will have food expenses for the next year.
When passing by the playground again, Wen Jingyi found that the children had dispersed.
Wu Yue just sat there, and when she saw Wen Jingyi, she smiled in an unfathomable way.
He was obviously waiting for Wen Jingyi.
"I didn't expect you to find this place."
Wu Yue stood up slowly and looked meaningfully at Wen Jingyi's face, which was almost exactly the same as hers, as if she was looking in a mirror.
She was convinced that Wen Jingyi must have found the orphanage because of her.
His tone was quite smug: "It seems that you are not as calm as you appear."
You said you didn't like Shen Zerui, but seeing that he found a substitute like me, you must be very anxious, right?
Wu Yue seemed to have won over Wen Jingyi, and the look she gave Wen Jingyi became more and more provocative and proud:
"But unfortunately, I am the only one who can stay with her from now on. No matter if you are her white moonlight or her cinnabar mole, you can only rot in her memory."
Wen Jingyi does not hold regular meetings.
She really didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
It was so coincidental that even Wen Jingyi herself felt that the explanation was too pale. This scene seemed deliberate no matter how you looked at it.
"Aren't you feeling guilty if you don't speak?"
Wu Yue glanced at the sky, followed Wen Jingyi, and the two walked out the door together: "Ah, it's getting late. Ze Rui said he would come to pick me up today."
"Miss Wen, if no one picks you up, you can stay in the orphanage for one night."
"after all……"
At the moment, there was no one around them, so Wu Yue simply stopped pretending and leaned close to Wen Jingyi's ear and said:
"After all, you're a poor little bastard that no one wants. If you weren't lucky enough to be picked up and treated as a treasure by a kind family, you would have been destined to live in an orphanage as an orphan."
Wen Jingyi tightened her grip, unable to endure any more.
She suddenly curved her eyes, and her clear eyes slowly fell on Wu Yue, with a hint of disdain in her cold expression.
"Yes, you are right."
Wen Jingyi chuckled: "Because I'm not a poor thing, I was lucky enough to be picked up by someone, and my parents raised me with their hands."
"So, unlike you, I don't really need to live in an orphanage."
Wu Yue's face was stiff and ugly.
She didn't expect that Wen Jingyi would dare to challenge her.
"Don't be ungrateful, be careful of me——"
"What do you want?" Wen Jingyi interrupted her bluffing threat, stepped closer and said coldly, "You're just a self-deceiving imposter. You don't really think that by having a face like mine, you can replace me, do you?"
Suddenly, the sinister and twisted look on Wu Yue's face disappeared.
She looked behind Wen Jingyi with tears in her eyes and cried out in grievance:
"Zerui, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time, but Miss Wen still won't give in."
Wen Jingyi looked back in the direction Wu Yue was looking for help.
As expected, Shen Zekai appeared not far from the two of them, looking at Wen Jingyi with a complicated look.
"you……"
"Make way."
Wen Jingyi and Shen Zekai spoke at the same time. She pushed Wu Yue away coldly and said without turning her head, "You're blocking the way."
She was not interested in studying what Shen Zekai was thinking.
Seeing Shen Zekai's hesitation in speaking, one would only feel that he was wavering, making one want to draw a clear line as soon as possible.
Wu Yue, on the other hand, was ecstatic after seeing Shen Zekai.
She took Shen Zekai's hand pitifully and complained softly:
"Zerui, I just wanted to invite Miss Wen to sit down where I grew up, and she said I was an unwanted child."
"But wasn't Miss Weng an orphan before? How could she be so cruel and say such hurtful words?"
When Shen Zekai saw Wen Jingyi leaving, he subconsciously wanted to chase after her.
But Wu Yue held him back and he could only watch Wen Jingyi's back as she walked away.
He suddenly became impatient, tore Wu Yue's hand away and said:
"Get out of the way."
"Wait! Wen Jingyi! There's no taxi available down the mountain here. How are you planning to get back?"
He caught up with Wen Jingyi in two or three steps, and held Wen Jingyi's forearm tightly with his big hand.
Shen Zekai heard everything that was said just now.
He could feel Wen Jingyi's hostility towards Wu Yue.
Strangely enough, Shen Zekai didn't think the plan was right, but instead felt extremely surprised.
That’s the right way…
Wen Jingyi's previous lack of reaction must have been a pretense of strength.
Now that Wen Jingyi and Wu Yue are facing each other alone, Wen Jingyi finally reveals her jealousy and unwillingness.
She must want to reconcile with me.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so hostile towards Wu Yue. You know, Wen Jingyi rarely even says harsh words.
If it wasn't because he liked me, it was because he was jealous of Wu Yue.
Why would he be so harsh and mean to Wu Yue?
Shen Zekai was ecstatic. He stood in front of Wen Jingyi with a confident smile on his face: "Come back with me, you come back to the Shen family with me, and then we can have a good talk."
