Chapter 51 Amulet
"This amulet was originally hung around your neck."
The dean handed the amulet to Gu Qingyue.
Gu Qingyue took it with both hands and looked at the amulet in her hand carefully.
The amulet is a small red square with auspicious patterns embroidered on it with gold thread. The amulet is made of a red rope woven into a chain, and the rope is decorated with a bodhi bead.
A small "Yu" character is embroidered in gold thread on the lower right corner of the amulet.
Unlike the embroidery pattern above, this word "Yu" is embroidered crookedly and the stitches are not neat, as if it was embroidered later, and the embroiderer's embroidery skills are also very average.
Gu Qingyue's fair fingertips lightly touched the rough strokes of the word "Yu", and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Is this 'Yu' the name given to her by her family?
The dean sighed, "When I found you, you were so skinny. I thought you must have been abandoned by your family. Now that you have a better life, your old belongings will only restrict you, so I didn't give this amulet to the Gu family."
Gu Qingyue said gratefully: "Dean, thank you."
If the dean hadn't taken her in, she would have frozen to death on that snowy night.
The dean had a kind and friendly expression on his face. "Child, many things are destined to happen. Don't force it."
Gu Qingyue smiled: "I understand."
Shang Yuze's face was handsome and cold, with sharp eyes and eyelashes casting a faint shadow under his eyelids, and his pupils became dark.
"Director, the facilities in the orphanage are too old and pose a safety hazard. I will find someone to help renovate the orphanage. From now on, the Shang Group will donate a sum of money to the Renxin Orphanage every year for the education and medical care of these children."
The director was overwhelmed with emotion and thanked them repeatedly: "On behalf of the Renxin Orphanage, I would like to thank Mr. Shang and Ms. Gu."
The orphanage is poor, and there are not enough warm clothes and no heating equipment. She worries about this every winter. This year, the children can spend a warm winter.
Shang Yuze said humbly and politely, "You're welcome, Dean. Without you, my wife and I wouldn't be where we are today."
Just as the two were about to say goodbye and leave, two older children ran in with a group of children, surrounded them, and spoke enthusiastically.
"Beautiful sister, handsome brother, please stay and have dinner together."
"Let's eat together, let's eat together."
Looking at the children's eager and expectant eyes, Gu Qingyue couldn't bear to refuse. She turned her head to look at the man beside her. Shang Yuze nodded to her, and Gu Qingyue smiled sweetly.
"Okay, let's make dumplings together today!"
"Great!" The children jumped up excitedly.
Shang Yuze and Gu Qingyue went to the kitchen to knead dough for dumpling fillings. The dean was cleaning and moving out tables, chairs and benches, and the children were busy helping out.
The kitchen is very simple, with few kitchen utensils. Rice is cooked in a clay pot, and the ingredients are mostly potatoes, cabbage, etc., with not many seasonings.
Shang Ming and Shang Ye moved all the ingredients and seasonings they brought into the kitchen, including some new kitchen utensils.
Gu Qingyue took a large cabbage and prepared to make cabbage and pork dumplings.
Shang Yuze was washing meat with gloves on. He took the cabbage from Gu Qingyue's hand and said, "The water is cold. Don't touch it. I'll wash the vegetables."
As he washed, he said, "It seems we need to install a water heater."
Gu Qingyue stood beside him: "I really made you spend a lot of money today."
All the money for purchasing supplies was paid by Shang Yuze.
Shang Yuze rolled up his sleeves, revealing a section of his forearm. The veins on his cold, pale arm were sexy. "This is a charity, how can it be said to cost money?"
"Shang Yuze, have I really been abandoned?" Gu Qingyue looked down at her toes with her head drooping, and her mood was obviously depressed.
Shang Yuze turned off the faucet and took off his gloves. The man put his long and strong arms around her slender waist, held her in his arms, and kissed her hair.
"That was just the dean's guess. It's not ruled out that you were stolen by human traffickers."
Gu Qingyue didn't notice the man's little movements. She buried her face in his broad chest and said gloomily, "But what if they really abandon me?"
Shang Yuze's voice was soft: "Regret is the norm in life, but isn't regret also another kind of life?"
Gu Qingyue was stunned for a moment, as if thinking about his words.
Shang Yuze smiled slightly: "If your biological parents are really like that, it would be a good thing to stay away from them."
Gu Qingyue was the top scorer in the national college entrance examination and a direct disciple of Jiang Yan of the Huaguo Institute of Science and Technology. If reporters were to report on her search for her parents, clues could be found quickly.
But Gu Qingyue is too outstanding, and someone will definitely come to impersonate her.
If her parents really abandoned Gu Qingyue on purpose, then they would have other ideas now that they see such an outstanding girl. They might even use her and depend on her.
Therefore, before confirming what kind of people Gu Qingyue's parents are, the news that Gu Qingyue is an orphan cannot be spread.
I would rather search slowly than let Gu Qingyue get hurt.
Gu Qingyue suddenly understood and stopped dwelling on the trivial matters. She looked up at him and said, "You're right. Instead of worrying about the future, it's better to live a good life."
She raised her head and met the man's deep and affectionate eyes.
The sunlight shone through the glass window onto the man's tall and majestic body. He seemed to be coated with a light layer of gold. His phoenix eyes seemed much gentler than usual, as if the bright moonlight was flowing in his eyes.
Gu Qingyue's ears were filled with the sound of heartbeats.
Shang Yuze tightened his hands on her waist and pulled her closer to his arms, his eyes becoming scorching hot.
The atmosphere is just the right amount of ambiguous, and the affection grows stronger.
Shang Yuze stared at the girl's tender and tempting red lips, his Adam's apple rolled and he couldn't help but lower his head.
Gu Qingyue's brain seemed to have crashed, and she just stared at him blankly with her eyes wide open.
The distance between lips is very close.
"Mr. Shang, what you want..."
Shang Ming walked in holding a plastic box filled with tableware. He was stunned as soon as he entered the door and his voice stopped abruptly.
Gu Qingyue pushed Shang Yuze away, picked up a celery and tried to create a busy look. In fact, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Shang Yuze's face was as cold as ice, and the look he gave Shang Ming was like a bloody blade, with a hint of ruthlessness.
He is really more of a hindrance than a help! He has no sense at all!
We almost kissed.
Shang Ming was so frightened that his hands trembled and he almost dropped the things in his hands. He bowed 90 degrees and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shang, I didn't see anything. You and your wife can continue."
After saying that, he turned and left, considerately closing the door behind him.
