"Where is Lele from?" Xu Ya Ting asked casually.
Yan Shule's eyes flashed with nostalgia. "I don't know where I'm from, but I grew up in an orphanage in Jin'an County. But then there was a fire in the orphanage, and we kids were moved to other places. I was transferred to an orphanage in the neighboring Yihe County, and I grew up there until I was eighteen and entered college."
The original body's memory actually has some deviations from hers, because she grew up in the Jinan County Orphanage and left at the age of eighteen, and there was no fire in the original plot.
Yan Shule felt that there must be something strange about this fire that had never happened in real life. She had originally planned to go back and check if there were any clues after she was done with her busy schedule. Unfortunately, the director of the orphanage passed away shortly after the fire, otherwise she could have asked her what happened at the time.
After the fire, the original owner was hospitalized for a period of time and suffered amnesia, so Yan Shule's memory of the original owner before the age of five was not clear.
But she has deep memories of her past life in the orphanage.
Yan Shule was still immersed in her own memories and did not notice that because of her words, Xu Yazi and the other two gradually showed expressions of surprise and doubt on their faces.
Jinan County Orphanage? Is it such a coincidence?
Are there really such coincidences in this world? Yan Shule and Yan Luofei actually came from the same orphanage? Also, there is Xiao Ai...
Xu Ya Ting gently patted Xu Yazi's shoulder, not wanting her sister to fall into sadness again after hearing about these past events.
Xu Yazi couldn't help but ask, "Do you remember the little girl who played best with Yan Luofei in the orphanage?"
Yan Shule shook his head. "When the fire broke out, I hit my head and fainted. After I woke up, I didn't remember anything."
But she caught onto what Xu Yazi had just said, "Was Yan Luofei also from that orphanage before?"
Xu Yazi nodded disappointedly, but couldn't help but look at Yan Shule a few more times.
Yan Shule frowned and thought. It turned out that Yan Luofei and his original self grew up in the same orphanage. It was normal for his original self to lose his memory and not know anything. Yan Luofei also looked like he didn't recognize himself. Could it be that he had changed so much over the years that he couldn't recognize himself? Or is there some other reason?
But as far as Yan Shule knew, except for those children in the orphanage who had sporadic memories of knowing their own names, the other children all took the director's grandmother's surname. Only she, who was abandoned in infancy, had her own surname.
So what about Yan Luofei? Did he have the surname Yan when he was in the orphanage, or did he get the surname Yan after he had a relationship with the Yan family?
But from what Yan Shule had observed these days, it seemed that the Yan family was only maintaining a polite, neither-close-nor-distant relationship with Yan Luofei. So why on earth were they taking such good care of Yan Luofei?
While Yan Shule was thinking, Xu Ya Ting and Wu Tianying were also looking at her carefully.
"Mom, you say..." Wu Tianying's animal-like instinct couldn't help but emerge again, "Do you think what Yan Luofei said before is credible?"
Xu Ya Ting's heart was shocked. She looked at Yan Shule again and murmured in a low voice, "Can a five-year-old girl tell such a lie?"
"Don't underestimate the intelligence of children, okay?" Wu Tianying thought of her best friend's stepmother's brother who was only three years old and could frame her best friend, and pouted angrily, "Don't underestimate the viciousness of children."
Xu Ya Ting looked at Yan Shule thoughtfully. Could there be so many coincidences? From the same orphanage, both have the surname Yan, and they look so similar?
They chose to believe it because of Yan Luofei's words and the jade pendant in her hand, as well as the fire in the orphanage that burned a lot of information. The investigation was fruitless, and the director of the orphanage unfortunately died, so there was no way to verify the facts.
But what if it’s all fake?
Thinking about Yan Luofei's increasingly unconcealed plotting over the years, even though she was only five years old at the time, were her words really true and credible?
At that time, they also encountered a girl who pretended to be the lost Xiao Ai and came to their door. After verification, they found out the truth, but they never thought that a girl who was holding a token and claiming to be Xiao Ai's friend would have other motives, and her sadness and panic did not seem fake.
But what if she is smart enough? What if she happens to be very good at disguising herself? Instead of pretending to be the person involved and being exposed during the paternity test, it is better to say that you are a good friend. Besides, Xiao Ai is already dead, act heartbroken, and use Xiao Ai's identity to invade the Yan family little by little.
But if that was really the case, then how horrible must the mind of that five-year-old child be!
Thinking of this, Xu Ya Ting couldn't help but take a breath.
She looked at Xu Yazi hesitantly, wanting to say something, but was afraid of being disappointed again and bringing a bigger blow to her sister.
Over the past 25 years, she has witnessed how Xu Yazi endured, and 20 years ago, she witnessed Xu Yazi's collapse. It took her 20 years to slowly get over it. She can't bear to see her get knocked down again.
Xu Ya Ting decided not to tell her guess yet and go back to discuss it with her brother-in-law.
However, if Xu Ya Ting didn't say it, how could Xu Yazhi not think of it? But she was also struggling in her heart. She hoped more than anyone else that her child was not dead, but she was also more afraid than anyone else that her hopes would be shattered once again.
In this silence, Wu Tianying rolled her eyes around, and no one knew what she was up to.
Maybe everyone was worried and no longer in the mood to go shopping.
Xu Yazi and the other two went home in the Yan family's car, while Yan Shule was sent back to the hotel by Xu Ya Ting's driver.
As soon as the car started, Wu Tianying suddenly called a halt, "Oops, I forgot to take something."
She quickly opened the car door and got out, just in time to stop the waiter who was about to pack up the cups, "I bought these cups, take a bag and pack them for me."
The waiter didn't understand why, but he couldn't resist Wu Tianying's generosity, so he followed her instructions, carefully poured out the remaining coffee in the cup from the handle, and then packed them separately in a transparent plastic bag and sealed it.
Wu Tianying happened to be carrying a big bag these two days, and she put all the cups in it, making the bag bulge out.
Back in the car, Xu Ya Ting had something on her mind but didn't tell her, and Wu Tianying secretly gave her a mysterious smile.
Based on her experience of reading novels for so many years, she knew there must be something fishy going on here. So let this little genius of hers find out the truth without anyone noticing.
If Lele is really her cousin, then she is so awesome. Not only has she exposed the annoying Yan Luofei, but she also gets a sister whom she loves so much, and she is a treasure. Ah, she is really so happy.
But it doesn’t matter even if Lele is not her cousin. After all, Wu Tianying doesn’t just look at blood relationship when she likes someone. They are still good friends.
Wu Tianying found a friend for help the next day. This friend's family runs a private hospital and he has his own equipment that can be used for inspection. However, because it takes some effort to do it privately, he can only wait for the time being.
Sisters Xu Yazi and Xu Ya Ting had a project to discuss the next day. After Wu Tianying delivered the test samples, she took Yan Shule to play with her friends.
Wu Tianying's friends are all relatively innocent and cute little princesses who know how to eat, play and shop. However, they never show any disdain for Yan Shule. Some of them are even a little obsessed with looks. When they buy clothes or jewelry, they always can't help wanting to dress up Yan Shule.
However, Yan Shule was used to being frugal, so she bought herself a favorite skirt at the urging of a few little girls. After that, she just accompanied them shopping and was unwilling to buy anything else.
After shopping in the afternoon, a few people sat in a fast food restaurant to rest. Wu Tianying suddenly took out a box from her bag and handed it to Yan Shule, "Sister Lele, this is a gift for you that we pooled our money for."
The other little girls also looked at Yan Shule with anticipation.
"Open it and take a look."
Yan Shule opened the box, which contained a necklace that she had been persuaded to try on when she was shopping with them before. It matched the dress she had just bought, but Yan Shule still couldn't bear to buy it.
I didn’t expect these girls to pool their money to buy it for her.
Yan Shule subconsciously wanted to refuse. She had been used to relying on herself over the years and was not used to accepting things from others.
But looking at those expectant little faces and the sparkling eyes of a few little girls, Yan Shule swallowed the words of refusal that came to his lips.
She pursed her lips, trying to show her kindness, and put the box away with a smile, "Thank you for your gift, I like it very much."
The moment she said it, she actually felt relaxed and a little warm in her heart. Seeing the satisfied and happy looks of the girls, Yan Shule also felt very happy in her heart. It turned out that accepting other people's kindness was such a pleasant thing.
But she knows very well that if you accept someone's kindness, you also have to give something in return, and you can't just ask for it.
It was also because of this that Yan Shule was rarely willing to accept gifts from others in the past, because those gifts might not be necessary for her, but she needed to pay her own money and energy to repay them.
But facing the girls in front of him, Yan Shule couldn't say no.
They were not polite, hypocritical, or condescending. Instead, they put a sincere heart in front of her. How could anyone reject such lovely girls?
Yan Shule put away the box and started thinking about what gift would be better to give in return.
"By the way, my brother said they have a party in Yueting tonight. Why don't we go and have fun too? It's more fun with more people." The speaker was a round-faced girl, her fair and rosy face full of excitement.
The girl's name is Yao Ximin, and her brother's name is Yao Xirui. Although the Yao family is not as wealthy as the Yan family and the Wu family, they still have some assets in Beijing. They also own a very profitable entertainment company called Wensheng Entertainment, which is one of the major entertainment giants in the country.
The reason why she was so excited was that her brother Yao Xirui was arranged to intern at their own entertainment company last year. Perhaps because they were of the same age and had the same interests, he got along very well with Yin Sheng, the new movie emperor that Wen Sheng had been promoting in the past two years, and would drag Yin Sheng along to almost every gathering.
Yao Ximin was a fan of Yin Sheng. Oddly enough, her family ran an entertainment company and she had watched countless celebrities since she was a child. If she wanted an autographed photo, a photo with her, or even an exclusive video, she could get it just by saying a word, but she was not interested in any of them.
But after seeing Yin Sheng for the first time last year, I became his fan.
