She got out of bed and opened the door. Xu Yazi was standing at the door holding the quilt and smiling at her, "Xiao Ai, can mommy sleep with you tonight? We can chat together."
When Yan Shule was in the orphanage, she had always slept in the same bed with others because of limited supplies. But since leaving the orphanage, she has basically been alone. She was not used to sharing a bed with someone else suddenly, especially since this person was the mother she had just met today. She always felt a little awkward.
She was about to refuse, but when she saw the uneasy look under Xu Yazi's gentle face, she nodded for some reason.
When Xu Yazi saw Yan Shule nodded, her eyes suddenly seemed to light up, and she squeezed into the room holding the quilt, like a little girl asking for candy.
Yan Shule followed her and closed the door.
The two of them each covered themselves with a quilt. Although they were on the same bed, Yan Shule felt less uncomfortable because of the quilt.
"Can you tell me how you lived in the past?" Xu Yazi suddenly asked in the quiet room, "Although I couldn't be with you for 25 years, I always want to hear what you have been through."
Yan Shule was stunned for a moment, and thought carefully, "Then let me start from when I was five years old..."
Yan Shule began to recall the memories of his original body. "When I was five years old, I was sick and injured. I couldn't afford to stay in a hospital. I stayed in a small clinic for a few days. Later, I left the clinic and was sent to the next county. At that time, the files of the orphanage were burned, and the old director was also shocked and dazed. I lost my memory and couldn't even remember my own name. I only vaguely remembered the word Yan."
"Later, the new dean named me Yan Shule, saying that he hoped I would have fewer illnesses and disasters in the future and live a comfortable and happy life."
"After that, I lived in that orphanage. I don't know which kindhearted person donated a large sum of money to the orphanage. We, the school-age children, had money to buy books, paper, pens and uniforms. We went to school peacefully until we graduated from high school."
"Since the first semester of college, I have tried to find a part-time job and stopped asking for money from the orphanage. Although education is compulsory now, the cost of books and uniforms is not small. I also hope that the money I save can give other children in the orphanage more opportunities to go to school."
"Later, when I had extra money, I would sometimes send some to the orphanage. Then, I was signed by Xue Yang and entered the entertainment industry. Although it was not easy to get into the industry, I made a lot of money. I also had more money to send back home and save some for myself."
"after……"
Yan Shule didn't want to talk about Zhou Zhihao. She paused and said vaguely, "Something happened, so I quit the entertainment industry and started making money on my own. I didn't expect that I seemed to have a special talent for investment, or maybe I had luck. I made a lot of money these days..."
Yan Shule did not talk about her special abilities. She had just returned to the Yan family and was not familiar with it yet. Moreover, she had seen all kinds of human nature over the years and subconsciously wanted to keep some cards for herself.
Xu Yazi was considerate and didn't ask about the words that Yan Shule vaguely skipped. She just said softly, "We donated the money to the orphanage. We couldn't find you at that time. Although Yan Luofei said that you... left... I didn't want to believe it after all."
"I donated the money because, firstly, I thought that if you were still alive and in the orphanage, you would at least have a better life. Secondly, I wanted to do more good deeds, hoping to receive blessings and help us find you sooner."
Yan Shule suddenly realized, but didn't say anything. She really didn't know what to say.
Xu Yazi didn't care about her silence, she smiled softly and said, "Fortunately, we have finally found you now."
After sighing, Xu Yazi seemed to realize that what she said was a bit heavy, and asked again, "Did you have any profound experiences when you were in the orphanage, studying, and working?"
Yan Shule thought about it and started talking again. He kept talking until the two of them fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, Yan Shule woke up very early after a rare sleepless night. As soon as he came downstairs, the servants of the old house brought a table of food, including Chinese and Western food, including steamed buns, steamed buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks, milk, bread, sandwiches, and everything else. If you didn't know, you would think he had opened a breakfast shop at home.
Yan Shule was stunned. Xu Yazi was already dressed very decently. She smiled gently and said, "I don't know what you like to eat for breakfast, so I prepared a little bit."
She was halfway through her speech when she remembered that Yan Shule had always been very frugal. From what she had said last night, she knew that she had a hard time in the orphanage and must not like such waste. She then explained, "Usually we only eat the right amount of food, not so much. And we also allow the staff at home to pack up the clean, untouched food and take it home."
Yan Shule nodded blankly when she heard her say that, picked up a glass of milk and a steamed bun, and picked up some side dishes, "These are enough for me."
Xu Yazi was worried that she would eat too little, but she was also afraid that she would eat too much because of her persuasion. In the end, she asked the servants to remove all the remaining clean food, "You can deal with it yourself."
In fact, the Yan family pays quite high wages, and the servants in the family are not short of food. However, the Chinese are used to being frugal, and no one would be unhappy to save money on a meal with these things. Moreover, the Yan family has never been the kind of family that gives charity in a condescending manner. They just interact with each other on an equal basis, and people will not feel uncomfortable. Naturally, they are happy to accept such kindness.
However, Xu Yazi was still worried that Yan Shule would be hungry if she ate less, so she asked the kitchen to prepare some snacks so that if Yan Shule was hungry later, she could fill her stomach.
After Yan Shule had finished breakfast, Xu Yazi told him that Old Master Yan had gone to a friend's house, while Yan Xunuo and Yan Chong had gone to work, and they would go home for lunch at noon.
This was also the decision they made after discussion. Although the three men wanted to stay and spend more time with their granddaughters (daughter, sister), they considered that Yan Shule had just returned home and were afraid that she was not used to it yet and would be nervous facing so many people. So they decided to leave Xu Yazi alone at home to accompany her. They would just go about their normal routine and she would get used to it naturally over time.
However, they were also worried that Yan Shule would feel that they did not welcome her, so they each left gifts to welcome her home.
Xu Yazi brought Yan Shule to the living room and pointed at the three boxes on the coffee table. "These are gifts from your grandpa, dad, and brother. Open them and see if you like them."
Yan Shule nodded and nervously opened the nearest box. Inside was a complete set of G's latest season skin care products and facial masks, two sets of diamond and jade jewelry, and the key and purchase agreement of a limited edition sports car with Yan Shule's name written on it. The sports car had an exquisite and elegant appearance, very suitable for girls.
There was also a bank card with 10 million yuan in it.
The second box contained a share donation agreement, which stated that Yan Chong would donate 2% of his shares in the Yan Group to Yan Shule.
Don't underestimate this 2%. It is 2% of the entire Yan Group. Considering the value of the entire Yan Group, with this 2%, Yan Shule's annual dividends are in the tens digits, which means he can basically rest easy for the rest of his life.
The third box contained two keys and two purchase contracts. One property was in the villa area next to the Yan family's old house, a villa worth hundreds of millions of yuan, and the other property was a high-end apartment near the center of Beijing. Based on the current housing prices in Beijing, it was worth tens of millions.
I also have a credit card with no limit.
Yan Shule suddenly had a house, a car, shares and savings. She was a little dazed and excited, and then she felt a little jealous of the rich. She had worked hard for most of her life, but she didn't earn as much as the change on the table.
For a moment, I was actually a little hesitant as to whether I should accept these things.
"And my gift." Xu Yazi smiled and picked up a box from a small table beside her. When she opened it, she found a jade pendant inside with the word "Yan" engraved on it.
Yan Shule looked at the jade pendant and suddenly felt very familiar with it.
"This..." Yan Shule looked at Xu Yazi.
Xu Yazi nodded, "This is the jade pendant that Yan Luofei brought to recognize you. She accompanied you from birth to the age of five. You were separated after the age of five, and now you have finally met again."
"Our family is finally reunited." Xu Yazi hung the jade pendant around Yan Shule's neck, "I hope that in the next few decades, it can always accompany you, protect you, and let you live in peace, comfort and happiness."
"Xiao Ai...can we still call you Xiao Ai from now on?" Xu Yazi smiled. "It's been so many years, I'm used to it. But you can still be called Yan Shule. We won't force you to change your name..."
"My original name..." Yan Shule asked, "I mean, the name you gave me, what was it originally called?"
"Yan Xuai..." Xu Yazi looked into Yan Shule's eyes and called out word by word, "Your father and I are married because of love. We agreed early on that the boy will be named Yan Xunuo, promising each other a lifetime of commitment, and I hope he will keep his promise sincerely. The girl will be named Yan Xuai, promising each other a lifetime of love, and maybe you will spoil her for the rest of your life."
"Yan Xu Ai..." Yan Shule murmured softly, her eyes unconsciously reddened. She smiled and said to Xu Yazi, "This name is really nice."
Xu Yazi smiled and gently touched her head, "Yan Shule, it sounds good too. Comfortable and happy, this is our greatest wish for you now. Our love does not need to be proven again, but I hope you can be comfortable and happy all your life."
Yan Shule couldn't help but hug Xu Yazi, "Thank you, Mom."
Xu Yazi smiled and stroked her back, "You are my child!"
No matter how much your mother gives to you, it is her duty. Why should she thank you?
Yan Shule's heart calmed down immediately.
Xu Yazi helped Yan Shule move the gifts to her room, put them in the safe and locked them, and then the mother and daughter went downstairs to watch TV and chat.
Xu Yazi was happily chatting and laughing when her phone rang. She didn't want to answer it at first, but when she saw the caller ID was from Xiao Li, she guessed that the matter she asked Xiao Li to investigate must have had results, so she picked up the phone and walked aside to answer it.
Yan Shule looked at Xu Yazi's back, still immersed in great happiness.
It turns out that having a family is such a happy and blessed thing!
