Chapter 306 The Orphanage's Lies: The Handsome Flower Boy 6
Dean Lu's hand trembled, and the enamel cup lid he was holding slammed to the ground with a clanging sound.
The enamel mug, which already had few pieces of good enamel, has now lost even more pieces after being broken.
"You...you are Jinnian's mother!"
Director Lu was at a loss for words. Over the years, many people have come and gone from the welfare home, mostly to adopt children or donate supplies.
No one comes here looking for their children. Most of the children who end up in the orphanage are abandoned by their families. There are many girls in the orphanage.
Of course, there were also some lost children and some children with physical disabilities.
"Dean Lu, please calm down and have some water first."
Dean Lu was feeling very conflicted at the moment, as this was the first time someone's biological parents had come to visit.
What is your surname?
I would like to ask you, how did you come to the orphanage at this time? How did you know Xiao Nian's identity, and how did you know he was here?
Xiao Nian was abandoned outside the orphanage eleven years ago. When I saw him, there was still a line of footprints on the ground. Did you, his mother, throw him there?
As Dean Lu recalled, his tone became increasingly harsh. How could someone who abandoned a child find the child again?
Xiao Nian will soon be an adult, and he'll grow up quickly. Only then can he acknowledge his children. What are his true intentions?
She dared not think too much, but she had to think about every child in the welfare home. She couldn't just hand them over easily, and she couldn't let them suffer.
"Dean Lu, my surname is Shen."
This is a long story, but I have never abandoned Xiaonian.
I have a rural household registration, and his father was an educated youth sent to the countryside. At that time, he faked a divorce in order to return to the city and took the child with him.
I waited at home for a long time but he never came. I had a mental breakdown and started hallucinating. After that, I went to the city alone to look for my child.
Dean Lu, before that, I had never left our village and didn't know the way at all. The address was also fake. I'm a woman, so I won't go into details about my experiences.
In short, I haven't found my child, nor have I found the child's father, and I can't go home anymore.
Having survived a life of constant wandering, I've been searching for my child for so many years, and I've finally found him.
Shen Ci covered half of her face, her expression sorrowful and heartbroken. The grievances and bitterness she felt were beyond words.
She is a very empathetic person, and so is Dean Lu.
Dean Lu automatically filled in the blanks in her mind: what would a weak woman do in a big city without a household registration? How could she survive after going through so much?
Sigh! It's not easy for anyone!
"You say you're Xiaonian's mother, what proof do you have?"
Dean Lu wiped his eyes and asked, "It's not common to see people coming to the welfare home to adopt children. This Ms. Shen does look somewhat similar to Xiao Nian."
If what she said is true, then of course everything is fine.
But what if it's fake? Xiao Nian is a good-looking child, so Dean Lu can't help but think a little more. It's not a good thing for a child from a poor family to be too beautiful.
Moreover, Xiao Nian is a child from an orphanage and doesn't even have a home.
evidence?
Shen Ci racked her brains, wondering why she hadn't thought of leaving a keepsake or something back then.
"Xiao Nian has a birthmark on his buttock, which is crescent-shaped, and when he was taken away, he was wearing a string of beads on his hand."
It wasn't anything valuable; I ground it up with persimmon seeds. I don't know if it's still there.
Back then in the countryside, in those times, any family with wealth, like landlords, would have been criticized and denounced long ago, and it was impossible for them to have anything of value left behind.
In other words, the original owner loved her child dearly. Since the family couldn't afford a gold or silver longevity lock, she picked persimmons herself, kept the seeds, ground them into bracelets, and made them for her child to wear and play with.
If it were something truly valuable, it probably wouldn't have survived.
Upon hearing this, Dean Lu completely believed it. How could it be false if someone could even describe such private marks and things?
Lu Jinnian was only four years old when he came to the orphanage. For a four-year-old child, the closest people are his parents and family. There are no outsiders, so only his closest relatives would know about his birthmarks.
“Ms. Shen, Xiao Nian is your child. Now I believe it.”
But if you take him away, where do you plan to live? Will he still be able to continue his studies?
Xiao Nian has excellent grades and has already finished junior high school.
She wouldn't feel at ease if her biological mother wasn't as good as the orphanage. However, after observing Shen Ci's appearance, she didn't seem to be poor at all.
Xiao Nian is her biological son, and living with her will definitely provide him with better conditions than in the orphanage.
The best thing is that the child is doing well.
"If he wants to continue his studies, I will continue to support his education."
Dean Lu, I have been searching for my child for many years, and I will certainly not treat him unfairly.
We will settle in Beijing.
His attire and demeanor were both exceptional, which reassured Dean Lu even more.
"I'll have someone bring the Little New Year here, you can talk."
By the way, Ms. Shen, what's your name?
“Chen Ci”.
That's right! Only then was Director Lu truly relieved. He sent someone to summon Lu Jinnian, and all the children in the orphanage took her surname, Lu.
Soon, Lu Jinnian arrived.
As intelligent as he was, he had already begun to ponder on his way here why he was suddenly called here, since it was definitely not for adoption.
No parent would adopt a child who is almost an adult, feeling that they can't be properly cared for and that the child has their own ideas.
And he wouldn't want to be adopted.
Inside the room, Dean Lu was still telling Shen Ci about Lu Jinnian's childhood.
"Jin was good-looking and young, and many people wanted to adopt him at that time."
But he himself was unwilling, saying he simply refused to go out, no matter what kind of family he came from.
I don't know what he's arguing about, but we won't force the child if he doesn't want to.
The relationship between children and parents depends on mutual consent.
She was both telling a story and reminding Shen Ci that if Lu Jinnian was unwilling, she would not force him, and Shen Ci could not force him either.
"Dean, you wanted to see me."
Ms. Shen.
Lu Jinnian came in, still trying to figure out what it was about, and greeted him politely.
For a moment, Dean Lu didn't know how to bring it up; they were actually mother and son.
"Xiao Nian, do you still have the string of beads you wore when you first came to the orphanage?"
Why can't I see it on your wrist?
Lu Jinnian was stunned. What? Did they want to buy his beads?
He pulled a string from his collar, on which was a small string of beads that had been worn smooth and shiny.
"Here I am, what's wrong?"
That's right. Everything they said matches up, the names match up, and they all look equally good. How could parents who aren't good-looking have such a handsome son?
