"Miss, this is the storage room, and in front is the gym. There is also a study and a tea room. You can go there to enjoy tea when you are free."
"Further up ahead is the chess and card room. They have all kinds of cards, both Eastern and Western. You can play cards when you're bored."
Ji Zhinan looked at Shelley who was chattering away and asked, "Are you from the Warrens family?"
Shelley shook his head and said, "I'm just a servant of the Warrens family. I've been with them since I was seven years old, and I've been there for fourteen or fifteen years."
Ji Zhinan looked into her beautiful blue eyes, then glanced at her black hair, and hesitated to speak: "You... are mixed-race?"
"Yes." Shelley smiled and said, "My father is a foreigner and my mother is Oriental. In fact, I was abandoned by my mother."
“…”
"I heard from the nuns at the orphanage that my mother got pregnant when she was studying abroad. Because she was still a student at the time and couldn't take responsibility for me, she sent me to the orphanage after giving birth. I grew up in the orphanage."
When talking about his life experience, Shelley did not show any sadness, but was very calm and comfortable.
"Your life in the orphanage must have been very hard."
Ji Zhinan had been to an orphanage in Beijing before, where the children were left without parents. Because there were so many children, they couldn't receive meticulous care at all, and they were very pitiful.
"It's not so bad." Shelley chuckled. "We were pretty pitiful originally, but thanks to Mr. Warrens who has been helping us over the years and giving us a lot of food and money, we can live a pretty good life."
When it comes to Li Yuan, Shelley seems to have a lot to say.
"Mr. Warrens is the best person I have ever met. Although he is not good at speaking and his attitude towards people is very cold, he is an undoubted good man. It was Mr. Warrens who brought me back to the Warrens family and gave me a salary. My life is given by Mr. Warrens. Miss, I really envy you for having such a good father."
Shelley's eyes sparkled when she said this, and you could tell that this was the truth that came from her heart.
Ji Zhinan curled his lips.
"But I think Mr. Warrens is quite a loner. Aside from Mr. Charleson, he rarely interacts with anyone. He always prefers to stay alone in his study, sometimes for entire days. I happened to meet him a few times when I was a child, but every time I saw him, he always had a sad look on his face, his eyes as if he had seen through the ups and downs of life. It was obvious that he was not happy."
“…” Ji Zhinan was slightly stunned.
"I remember that before he took me away from the orphanage, I saw him kneeling before a statue of Jesus and praying devoutly. The nuns discussed him privately. They said he had something in his heart that he was unwilling to let go of, so he did good deeds to accumulate merit for someone. At the time, the nuns were even wondering if it was his wife..."
Hearing this, Ji Zhinan's heart sank.
She lowered her eyelids and frowned slightly. There was an indescribable feeling of heaviness in her chest. In short, she felt very uncomfortable.
Is it for her mother?
He thought something had happened to his mom and grandpa, so he's been feeling guilty ever since, right?
Seeing that Ji Zhinan's expression was not right, Shelley was stunned: "Miss, did I say something wrong?"
"No." Ji Zhinan shook his head: "You are not wrong."
Instead, she wanted to thank Shelley for what he said.
