Chapter 3: Rebirth of Liushui 3
Zhao Miaomiao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. After her heartbeat gradually slowed down, she said, "I have a guess, but I'm not sure.
Not long after the orphanage fire, Yu Minghao committed suicide.
It was then that I realized he was involved in the fire.
But I always thought it wouldn’t be him, but I didn’t expect it to be him.”
Chi Ying asked: "Why do you think Yu Minghao is a good person?"
Zhao Miaomiao lowered her head, looked at the schoolbag in her hand, pointed at the name embroidered on it, and said to Chi Ying, "Look, this embroidered name tag was embroidered by the dean's grandmother."
Chi Ying didn't understand what the relationship was between this name tag and Yu Minghao.
Zhao Miaomiao continued, "People like the director's grandmother can't raise a particularly bad child.
Yu Minghao was the first child adopted by the director's grandmother. At that time, the director's grandmother gave almost all her energy and love to Yu Minghao.
So no matter how bad or bastard Yu Minghao is, he would never think of killing the dean's grandmother.
I have always thought so and don't want to doubt him...
So is it really him?"
Chi Ying: "The Yu Minghao you mentioned doesn't seem to be the same person as the Yu Minghao written in the Book of Life and Death."
"Um?"
Zhao Miaomiao asked: "What do you mean?
Wasn’t it Yu Minghao from the orphanage who did it?
Is there someone with the same name?"
Chi Ying replied: "The child in the orphanage is not called Yu Minghao at all, but Yu Shaojie."
Zhao Miaomiao was stunned.
"What? What the hell?!
What is going on here? "
Chi Ying didn't tell her, but just said: "Yu Shaojie is now staying in the xx Hotel.
Just go and ask, and you’ll find out.”
So, Zhao Miaomiao came to the lobby of the hotel where Yu Shaojie was staying.
Oh, Chiying didn’t come. Chiying went to eat hotpot by himself.
He came here just to eat hot pot.
If you don’t eat now, when will you eat?
Zhao Miaomiao came to the hotel alone and asked the front desk: "Hello, sister, I'm looking for Yu...Yu Minghao.
He is my brother and we made an appointment to have lunch together.
But I forgot my cell phone and couldn't contact him.
Can you help me see if he is in the room?"
The receptionist saw that Zhao Miaomiao was a little girl, so she didn't suspect anything. She picked up the phone and called Yu Minghao's room.
Coincidentally, Yu Minghao was in the room right now.
But, it was that bad Yu Minghao.
Yu Minghao received the call and heard that his sister was waiting at the hotel front desk. He asked the receptionist, "What did my sister say her name is?"
The receptionist picked up the phone and asked Zhao Miaomiao, "Little girl, what's your name?"
Zhao Miaomiao replied: "Zhao Miaomiao."
Yu Minghao heard the name and glanced at the man sitting on the other bed in the room, who was looking at his phone. He then took the phone away, walked over and said to the man, "Yu Shaojie, this is your sister from the orphanage calling. It seems to be your genius sister."
When Yu Shaojie heard this, he stood up a little panicked and asked, "Did you answer the phone?
Why are you answering the phone?
What if I get recognized? "
Yu Minghao waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, the little girl didn't hear me."
Yu Shaojie was unhappy, but Yu Minghao was his younger brother and now his only relative, so he didn't say much.
Yu Shaojie walked over to answer the phone and said to the front desk: "Okay, I'll be down right away, please ask Miaomiao to wait a moment."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, picked up his coat and went downstairs.
Yu Minghao was playing games nearby. Seeing Yu Shaojie was about to leave, he said, "Please bring me some food when you come back. I'm hungry."
Yu Shaojie ignored him.
Yu Minghao added, "Yu Shaojie, I've lent you my name for so long, and you won't even bring me food?"
Yu Shaojie looked a little unhappy, but he still agreed to Yu Minghao sullenly: "I understand. I'll go see Miaomiao first and buy it for you later."
Zhao Miaomiao was waiting for Shaojie downstairs in the hotel.
Seeing the receptionist put down the phone, Zhao Miaomiao deliberately asked the receptionist: "By the way, sister, is the brother who lives with brother Yu Minghao also in the room?"
The receptionist smiled and said, "He lives alone, there's no one else."
Zhao Miaomiao: "Oh, that's it."
Zhao Miaomiao was testing to see if Yu Minghao was with Yu Shaojie.
From what Chi Ying said just now, it seems that Yu Shaojie and Yu Minghao know each other.
So Yu Shaojie and Yu Minghao, are they brothers?
When Yu Shaojie came downstairs, he saw Zhao Miaomiao and came up to her and said, "Miaomiao? Why are you here?"
Yu Shaojie has now graduated from university and found a job, but he still goes back to the orphanage several times a year to visit the director, so he has also seen Zhao Miaomiao several times.
But the two were not familiar with each other.
When Zhao Miaomiao came to the orphanage, Yu Shaojie went to high school in another province and lived there.
After that, I went to college, worked, and came back once a year, so I didn’t have any feelings for Zhao Miaomiao.
But Yu Shaojie had heard of Zhao Miaomiao's name, not only because she was adopted by the director's grandmother, but also because Zhao Miaomiao was a famous genius girl in the entire city.
Yu Shaojie was a little surprised that Zhao Miaomiao would come to see him, and he was also surprised how Zhao Miaomiao knew he was here.
But he hadn't asked anything yet.
Zhao Miaomiao answered him first: "Brother Haohao, I heard from the dean's grandmother that you are back. So I came to see you specially.
The address was also told to me by the director’s grandmother.”
This sentence not only explained why Zhao Miaomiao appeared here, but also why she knew that Yu Minghao had returned.
And Zhao Miaomiao also called him that on purpose. I want to know, why did Yu Shaojie tell the director’s grandmother that his name was Yu Minghao when he knew that his name was Yu Shaojie?
Why, he also told the children in the orphanage that he was Brother Haohao.
But Yu Shaojie agreed naturally and acknowledged the title of Haohao's brother.
"Hmm? What do you want from me?"
Zhao Miaomiao was a little disappointed with Shaojie. Was he taking the blame for Yu Minghao, or was he helping Yu Minghao hide, or...
In order to avoid Yu Shaojie's suspicion, Zhao Miaomiao made an excuse and said, "I know Brother Haohao, you are now working in a company that invests in something.
It just so happened that our teacher asked us to write an essay about various industries.
I don’t know anyone else who has a job, so I have to ask you, Brother Haohao.
What industry is that investment company in?
I plan to write an essay on this topic.”
This was another test from Zhao Miaomiao.
About what happened to the small building after the fire that year.
In fact, she also doubted Yu Minghao at that time, but unfortunately he was already dead.
So, no matter how hard Zhao Miaomiao wanted to investigate, she couldn't find any clues.
Now that he was back, Zhao Miaomiao simply asked all the questions that had bothered him, and that had puzzled him before.
Yu Shaojie looked at Zhao Miaomiao and smiled. His suspicious nature made him feel that what Zhao Miaomiao said was a bit strange.
A little girl, who was not very familiar with me, suddenly came to the hotel and asked me what I was doing and asked me to write an essay.
It seems a bit strange.
But when he looked at Zhao Miaomiao, he wondered what a fifteen-year-old girl could understand.
So Yu Shaojie thought about it and said, "I don't work in an investment company, I work in a real estate development company.
This business trip is also because of this."
Zhao Miaomiao pretended to take out paper and pen and pretended to record, "Brother Haohao, can you say a little more?
What exactly does a real estate development company do?
Selling a house?"
Yu Shaojie smiled and shook his head, "No, we bought the land and then built the house."
Zhao Miaomiao nodded, "Oh, that's it."
Then record.
Yu Shaojie didn't plan to talk much with Zhao Miaomiao here, so he made an excuse and asked Zhao Miaomiao to leave first.
"Miaomiao, I have to go see the director's grandmother tonight anyway.
How about this.
You go back to the orphanage first. I'll wait for me to go there in the evening and then I'll talk to you about my work. How about that?
I promise that I will provide you with plenty of material so that you can write an excellent essay."
Zhao Miaomiao nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for Brother Haohao tonight.
Goodbye, Brother Haohao."
Zhao Miaomiao said goodbye to Yu Shaojie and went out.
As soon as she left the hotel, Zhao Miaomiao's innocent and bright smile disappeared.
She remembered very clearly that after the fire at the orphanage, because the director had no relatives and no children to inherit the estate, the two-story building was auctioned at a low price and was finally sold to a company called Haoran Real Estate.
But before that, Yu Shaojie came to see the director and said that a shopping mall would be built on the old site of the orphanage soon, so he hoped that the director could move away with the children and sell this place.
The director’s grandmother didn’t agree.
The next day, the orphanage caught fire.
Yu Shaojie now works at Haoran Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.
