Chapter 164 Shao Yun's Background
As winter approaches, the weather gets colder and colder, and we wear thicker and thicker clothes.
After returning from Mesopotamia, Shao Muyan and Yu Yan followed the doctor's advice and began exercising, while also continuing to take their medication.
Perhaps it was the effectiveness of Dr. Su's pills, but I always felt warm after taking them.
Shao Muyan and Yu Yan both have very regular schedules. In addition to their busy work schedules, they also go to the playground for half an hour to run every night after get off work.
Shao Yun sometimes runs with them, and sometimes he is carried away by the older brothers and sisters in the laboratory halfway through, either because the roller skating club needs a referee or the drama club needs a child star.
Xiang Chu became increasingly attached to Shao Yun, and at the same time, she also grew closer to Yu Yan.
At first, he would just go with Shao Yun to have lunch with Yu Yan or Shao Muyan. He learned his lesson and ate quietly when he arrived, without saying a single annoying word.
Even if Yu Yan was cold to him, he didn't dare to feel wronged. If he got upset, Shao Yun would start to punish him without Yu Yan saying anything.
Brine is used to curdle tofu; one thing subdues another.
Xiang Chu was completely subdued by Shao Yun, which Yu Yan sometimes found quite amusing.
During this time, Yu Yan and Shao Muyan took Shao Yun to the welfare home twice more. Shao Muyan transferred a sum of money from his private account to the welfare home. The construction team renovated the burned-down archive room and installed a lot of smart equipment.
After returning to Shangzhou, Shao Min contacted several educational institutions and hired specialized personnel to teach students at the welfare home.
The Shao family has always been enthusiastic about charity. Not to mention Shangzhou, they donate to major welfare institutions all over the country every year. However, the Shao Charitable Foundation is very strict in this regard, and every penny is spent wisely.
When Yu Yan went to the welfare home for the second time to distribute books to the children, Director Xia said with a smile, "You are so thoughtful. We are so grateful for your help during this time."
It was also mentioned that Mei Nan had come yesterday.
"Nan Nan also brought a lot of things over, but she's very busy with work right now. She just dropped off the things, looked around the archives, and left. She was picked up by President Xiang. I just found out that she works under President Xiang. That's really great."
Mei Nan comes quite frequently.
Yu Yan didn't think much of it after hearing this, and simply nodded in response: "She is very capable."
Xiang Jingheng took Mei Nan on a long business trip to Canada to discuss cooperation.
On the way to the airport, Xiang Jingheng picked up Mei Nan from the welfare home. Mei Nan had just as much to do as he did, and she even took the time to buy some things and go to the welfare home.
"You're really thoughtful." Xiang Jingheng admired Mei Nan for being a woman of few words but who got things done.
He is many times better than Gan Xiaoxing.
It's unfair to think that such a talented person has been buried under Gan Xiaoxing's management for so long. He felt sorry for Mei Nan.
After being praised, Mei Nan just smiled shyly and said, "I just did my best. There are many people who have done more than me, so this is really nothing."
Xiang Jingheng's gaze towards Mei Nan held an added hint of admiration.
Mei Nan lowered her eyes, concealing her emotions.
After Xiang Jingheng left, Xiang Chu was completely unrestrained. She stopped going to stay with her grandparents and spent every day with Yu Yan.
"Mom, Dad's away on a business trip, and I'm all alone at home. It's so pitiful. Can I come stay with my brother at your place? I promise I won't cause you any trouble! I can even pay for our food!"
Xiang Chu clasped her hands together and looked at Yu Yan pitifully.
In fact, he had asked Shao Yun several times to put in a good word for him, but Shao Yun was a man of principle and couldn't bear to put Yu Yan in a difficult position. He had asked once, but Yu Yan didn't agree, so he stopped asking.
"You'd better perform well first. If you do well enough and show your sincerity, whether you're willing or not depends on your aunt. It's not up to me."
Yu Yan has also noticed that Xiang Chuhe has indeed changed a lot during this period.
Perhaps it was because after Gan Xiaoxing went to prison, Xiang Jingheng moved him to live outside, far away from the Gan and Xiang families, so he would be less affected.
The environment has a significant impact on people, and Yu Yandu has come to understand the principle of "Mencius' mother moving three times" by learning from Xiang Chu.
Looking at Xiang Chu, who was feigning pitifulness, Yu Yan's face still showed little tenderness. After discussing with Shao Muyan, she said, "Considering your performance during this period, you can come and live at home with your brother, but you are still under observation. If you cause any more trouble, whether you do it willingly or are being used, I will not give you a second chance, understand?"
Xiang Chu nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand! I will never do that again!"
Shao Muyan smiled lightly and said to Yu Yan, who was still worried, "It's okay. There are three of us. Can't we keep an eye on him? If he dares to cause trouble, I'll deal with him."
His stepfather will come online sooner or later, so he might as well start practicing now.
—
Shao Muyan has been quite busy lately.
He made several private visits to the orphanage and questioned all the people who took care of Shao Yun back then, of course, he asked them separately.
The more secretive this matter was, the better; he didn't want to alert anyone.
Whether it was the teachers at the welfare home or the caregivers who had left, they all had a deep impression of Shao Yun.
Firstly, everyone knows that Shao Yun was adopted by the Shao family. In everyone's eyes, this child is lucky and has had great fortune, going from an abandoned baby to the young master of the Shao family.
Even if he doesn't have the right to inherit in the future, with the help of the Shao family, he's bound to become someone important, especially since this child is so smart.
Secondly, it's because Shao Yun is intelligent.
This kind of intelligence isn't just cleverness; it's true wisdom.
"Actually, most of the children in the welfare home are quite sensitive. It's common and normal for them to be pleasing, sensible, and a little bit cunning and scheming, after all, it's all for self-protection, it's a survival rule. But Yun'er is different. He's sensible, but he never tries to please. The older kid with a super-dominant personality always bullied the kids weaker than him, and we teachers had to be on guard against him. But Shao Yun wasn't afraid at all. A three-year-old dared to stand up to a ten-year-old."
The teachers sighed deeply as they recalled the events.
"I found Yun'er and brought her to the orphanage. It was my shift that day, and when I was about to open the door, I saw a baby wrapped in a red cotton blanket. She was so cute and adorable, with big, bright eyes, and she wasn't crying or making a fuss. At first, we all thought Yun'er was mute or some kind of disabled child, which is why her parents abandoned her. But we later found out that she was not only not like that, but she was also extremely smart and beautiful."
The teacher shook her head. "I really can't understand it. How could anyone bear to lose such a good child?"
Shao Muyan got the red cotton quilt that Shao Yun had wrapped in back then, but he didn't find anything.
Most children abandoned by their parents leave a note when they are sent to welfare homes. They may leave their birth date or name. Some children, having no other choice, may write a few lines asking kind people to take good care of them.
Shao Yun had nothing at all; he was just a naked child, wrapped in a red cotton quilt, and left at the entrance of the orphanage.
"Perhaps they're afraid of being discovered," Dean Xia sighed. "Parents like this have no intention of ever finding their child again; they've cut off all contact from the very beginning."
As Shao Muyan listened, his heart felt crushed a thousand times over.
Every time I hear how Shao Yun was abandoned at the gate of the orphanage and what kind of life she had in the orphanage before she was three years old, my heart aches terribly.
Therefore, he could not forgive those behind the scenes who plotted against him back then.
Shao Muyan decided to go to the capital.
"To the capital?"
After dinner, Shao Min and Yu Yan were preparing to tidy up when they heard Shao Muyan's words and both looked up.
"There are some things I need to ask my elder brother and sister-in-law," Shao Muyan said thoughtfully.
