As soon as she entered the restroom, she heard a low groan coming from one of the squat toilets. Even though Xu Moran wasn't a police officer, she was still a very kind-hearted person, and she couldn't possibly stand idly by when she heard that groan.
He quickly walked to the squat toilet where the sound came from, knocked on the door, and said, "Hello, do you need any help?"
After a long while, a voice came from inside, "I fell down, could you open the door and help me?"
Xu Moran never hesitated to do good deeds like helping someone up, and immediately reached out to push the door of the squat toilet.
Sure enough, someone had fallen down inside. Without thinking, Xu Moran went straight to help her up.
This was an elderly woman. After she steadied herself, she looked up at Xu Yuran and was about to thank her when she froze upon seeing Xu Moran's face. "Yuanyuan?"
Before Xu Moran could react after those two words were uttered, the old lady was already denying what she had said, "No, you're not Yuanyuan, young lady, you... you look very familiar to me."
Xu Moran had also seen clearly who the person she was helping was. After all the twists and turns, she saw the deputy she had met once at the orphanage twenty years ago... again.
No matter how high her position, time is cruel; she has aged considerably compared to twenty years ago.
Xu Moran looked at her full head of silver hair, and for some reason, his nose suddenly stung, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.
“Grandma,” Xu Moran addressed the deputy in the way that was customary in B City, “I probably have a rather common face, so you probably recognize me.”
Even though he had already steadied himself, he held onto Xu Moran's hand tightly. "Miss, judging from your accent, are you from B City?"
Xu Moran told the truth, "I grew up in B City, but I don't know if I'm a native of B City."
The deputy asked in surprise, "How come you don't know where you're from?"
Just as Xu Moran was about to tell her that she had been in the orphanage since she was old enough to understand, her phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Xu Ye calling. He probably thought she was worried because she had been in the bathroom for a while.
Xu Moran smiled at the deputy, withdrew his hand, and walked out of the restroom while answering the phone.
When the call connected, it was indeed Xu Ye, who was worried about why she had been gone for so long.
It feels really good to be cared for. Xu Moran said he would be there soon and hung up the phone.
She didn't look back when she answered Xu Ye's call. If she had looked back, she would have seen the deputy... following her out of the restroom, standing there staring intently at her back.
The deputy's eyes were full of doubt. How could they look so alike?
Why does this girl look so much like Yuanyuan?
If it weren't for the clear knowledge that Huiwen only gave birth to one daughter, Yuanyuan, who was brought from an orphanage in B City to X City twenty years ago and sent abroad to study in high school, one would really think that Huiwen gave birth to twins.
Someone rushed up to her, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Deputy... we didn't know you were here to inspect our area. Please forgive us for not welcoming you properly."
The deputy manager wasn't listening to what the mall manager was saying at all; her mind was filled with Xu Moran's face from earlier.
She couldn't control her brain, and her brain was sending her a message that the girl from before looked more like Huiwen than Yuanyuan.
It's not that they look that alike, but rather that they have such a striking resemblance in spirit.
The mall manager saw that the assistant manager ignored his apology and was very anxious. What should he do?
He had only just found out about the deputy's visit to the mall. This was a high-ranking official from the capital, and if he didn't serve him properly, he would be in big trouble.
Just as he was thinking that if the deputy ignored him, he would pretend to faint and call the company for help, the deputy seemed to catch his breath and said, "Don't be so nervous, I just want to buy some things."
