She was adopted by Lan Rongchang and received the warmth of a family, which also contributed to her strong personality.
Have you... thought about your parents?
Qi Yu, who is usually very eloquent, was at a loss for words to comfort his beloved, who had a strong exterior but a fragile and helpless heart.
He wanted to hold her in his arms, to give her a sense of security and warmth, but his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air. If he did that, she would be even more disgusted, and he might even destroy the little bit of peace that they had finally built up between them!
"Biological parents?"
Lan Qingyue's bright eyes slowly closed, and she said wearily, "I... don't know either."
“In my more than 20 years of life, they have never been a part of my life; they are strangers to me. Now, I have grown up and am no longer a little girl who cried for her parents. Besides, I have a father who loves me.”
After that, an endless silence fell.
The next morning, Lan Qingyue woke up to find several children running over and saying, "The handsome uncle is gone."
They've left?
Lan Qingyue stared blankly at the scenery outside the window, remaining silent.
Last night, she only remembered talking a lot with Qi Yu. This... seemed to be the first time she had spoken to him so relaxedly since becoming the original owner of the body.
Later, she felt so tired that she fell asleep. He was the one who brought her back.
...
"Headmistress, you wanted to see me?"
Lan Qingyue stayed at the orphanage last night. After getting up, washing up, and having a simple breakfast with the children, she received a call from Liu Qingqing, who said she had something important to tell her.
Lan Qingyue was worried that Liu Qingqing had been waiting for her for too long, so she hurried over.
"Qingyue, please sit down first. I want to show you something." Liu Qingqing didn't say what it was about first, but instead beat around the bush.
She took out a wooden box with a rusty lock, as if to say that the contents inside were quite old. The box was covered with a square cloth.
Lan Qingyue felt a vague unease in her heart, and as Liu Qingqing moved, her unease intensified, and her heart jumped into her throat.
"Director, you..."
Liu Qingqing took out a smaller box from the wooden box, placed it flat on the table, and gently opened it. Her eyes and brows were full of the loving affection of an elder for a younger generation. She said softly, "It's time for you to know, Qingyue. Come, come and see!"
Lan Qingyue felt resistant, but her feet moved forward against her will.
The distance from the sofa to the table was only five steps, but for her, it felt like an exceptionally long walk.
"This is?"
Inside the box lies a raindrop-shaped blue diamond, adorned with tiny diamonds, showcasing a unique and dazzling beauty that highlights its nobility.
She was familiar with this necklace; she had an identical design in her hand. The only difference between the two was the color of the diamonds; the one she had had had pink diamonds.
"This is the only token that helped you find out about your origins. When you were left at the orphanage, you were wearing this blue diamond necklace around your neck."
Liu Qingqing sighed. Her eyes, which had seen through the world yet remained untainted by it, seemed to see the past: the baby girl in the basket, crying loudly, fair and tender, capable of touching the softest part of one's heart.
"This necklace is quite valuable. When Mr. Lan took you away, I gave him this necklace. But yesterday and this morning, Mr. Qi gave it to me and asked me to return it to you, to return it to its rightful owner. Qingyue, what's going on?"
