Chapter 413: Why Are You Panicking? I Thought It Was Something Bad
The director of the orphanage sat in the office, and Yue Wanqing saw Director Shi.
Director Shi was already 70 this year. She had been retired for over 20 years now, and it was her children who brought her over to this location today.
Yue Wanqing saw her and her eyes welled up with tears. She had become an orphan when she was 8 years old. In this orphanage, this Director Shi who was standing in front of her was all of the warmth in her childhood life, just as if she were her mother.
The senior sat on the chair. Both of her clouded elderly eyes were very swollen, “Director…” Yue Wanqing ran forward quickly, and kneeled in front of the senior. She stretched her hand out to hug the elderly person’s waist, “Director, I am Wanqing. I have finally met you again.”
The senior lowered her head. She used both her elderly hands to caress Yun Wanqing’s head, she nodded her head, and had a smile on her lips as she said, “I remember, I remember. You are the Wan Qing from Class 3.”
“Yeah.” Yue Wanqing nodded her head, and she held the senior’s hands. “Director, I looked for you these past few years, but I heard that your children took you back to your childhood home back in the mountains. Are you still doing well?”
“Good, I am doing very well. Wanqing, the family that adopted you, did they treat you well?”
“Yeah, they treated me well.” Yue Wanqing wiped her tears and said, “Director, I am living well, but, I want to look for my biological parents. I could not have been an orphan from the moment I was born. Director, did you remember how I ended up in the orphanage at that time?”
The senior froze, and tried hard to jog her memory. Unclearly, she said, “Wanqing, 40 years ago, you were sent by a middle aged woman….”
“Middle aged woman?” Yue Wanqing was delighted.
“That’s right, that woman was plump, and the clothes on her body were torn and tattered. She said that you were her sister-in-law’s ninth daughter. The people in the mountains all wanted boys, and your father insisted on a boy, so they sold all of their daughters. You were one of them. That woman found you pitiful and did not bear to suffer more hardships, so she took the chance as she was coming out of the mountains to bring you over secretly, and she brought you over here. That woman hoped that you would find a good family, and would be akin to being reborn in this world.”
Yun Wanqing heard what she said. Her expression darkened, it turned out that she turned into an orphan just like that. Her father did not want any daughters and wanted to sell her off.
At this moment, the elderly person patted Yue Wanqing’s hand as she said, “Wanqing, I saw that your background was pitiful, so when a rich family came to pick a daughter, I always ranked you first. You also performed well. You spent these few years well. Go home then, don’t look for your parents anymore. In your entire life, it is all well as long as you are living well.”
Yue Wanqing held all of her sadness at bay, and she stood up slowly, “Director, thank you, I will be leaving then.”
“Okay, go then.” The director waved her hand.
Yue Wanqing followed Ning Qing to the side of the door. At this moment, she turned her head and said, “Director, then do you still remember how that middle aged woman looked or know where she stayed?”
The senior shook her head. “40 years have passed. I don’t remember it anymore… Wanqing, why are you still looking for them?”
There was a warm smile on Yue Wanqing’s face. “I am thinking, although they despised the fact that I am a daughter and gave me up, they have given me life after all. They are my parents. If I can find them now, if they are not living well now, then I am also willing to support them…” As she spoke, Wanqing asked, “Oh right, Director, did I have any identifying items on me when I came into the orphanage?”
The elderly person’s hand that was holding a walking stick tightened, and she shook her head as she denied it. “No.”
This time, Yue Wanqing was really disappointed. She still greeted the elderly person’s daughters, then walked out.
…
Lu Shaoming, Zhou Dayuan, and Jian Han were all outside. They saw Yue Wanqing’s expression as she walked out, and they could guess what had transpired.
Not everyone could have a story, and not every person searching for their kin could have good results.
This ending was what they had predicted.
“Mum, are you okay?” Lu Shaoming went forward as he asked with care.
Yue Wanqing shook her head with an upset expression. At this moment, Ning Qing said, “Let’s go home to chat if there is anything else… I have noticed that it is already dark now. It is not convenient for us to drive. The environment nearby is also good. There is a temple. Why don’t we stay in the temple then. Older Brother Dayuan, Older Sister Jian, what do you guys think?”
Zhou Dayuan nodded his head and expressed his agreement.
Jian Han also did not object.
The group headed towards the temple.
…
At this moment, in the director’s office, Director Shi was shivering from head to toe as there were five or six fierce looking bodyguards in all black who were gathered in her office, and there was a woman.
Zhou Zhilei.
Director Shi looked at her children that were tied down by the bodyguards, she begged them immediately, “Young lady, I have already done as you have ordered. Please let my children go then; they are innocent.”
Zhou Zhilei had both of her hands kneaded into fists. There was fire in her eyes. She loudly chided this senior in he 70s who had dedicated her entire life to the orphanage. “Let me ask you. That Yue Wanqing that came just now, what is her background?”
“She…she…I also do not know her background, only that….”
“Only what?”
“It was only when Yue Wanqing came into the orphanage she liked to speak English. Daddy, Mummy, morning…including the clothes on her body were not old fashioned. It seemed like she was a daughter who came from a wealthy family that got lost… She naturally had a talent for brewing red wine. There was a time when she personally brewed red wine. At that time, she was only 8 years old… Because every aspect of her was good, she looked beautiful and her lips were sweet, I had an everlasting impression of her…”
Zhou Zhilei felt every word that she said was akin to a fire that came down from the sky, and it burned her heart. She had a sinister expression on her face as she continued to ask, “Was there any special item on her body when she arrived?”
“Yes, yes..” The elderly person slowly took an item out of her pocket and said, “This is it…”
Zhou Zhilei snatched it in her hands, and she looked at it repeatedly. It was a red amulet engraved with gold, and there was a “Dou” embroidered onto it.
It was right; it was this item.
Her grandmother always held this in her hands, treated it as a treasure, and never went away from it. She would weep while she looked at it, and as she looked on, she would call Dou Dou….
This amulet was exactly the same as the one in her grandmother’s hands.
Ning Qing’s mother, Yue Wanqing, was Zhou Heng’s biological daughter!
Ha, haha. Zhou Zhilei did not know if this was Heavens joking around with her. She despised Ning Qing’s background the most. Song Yajing had once mocked her for it. All of the upper class elites in T City were unable to accept it, but Ning Qing’s bones actually flowed with the most noble blood, and she was the biological granddaughter of the king of wineries, Zhou Heng!
No wonder Ning Qing had talent in the aspect of red wine. It turned out that it was actually inherited.
No wonder Zhou Heng had weird good feelings for Ning Qing. It turned out to be kinship with his bloodline.
Then what was she?
She was a counterfeit good!
What was she going to do?
Ning Qing already stole Lu Shaoming away, taking the position of Mrs. Lu. Could it actually be that she was going to allow her to go back to the Zhou family and snatch away the golden position of the Young Miss of the Zhou family?
No, never!
At this moment, a bodyguard came forward, “Young Miss, Old Master and Old Madam are already on their way here. We need to settle our matters here quickly.”
Director Shi quickly said, “Young lady, let go of my son and daughter. I will listen to you… I got it! when they come later, I will say that Yue Wanqing has died. She has already died…”
Zhou Zhilei weighed her options quickly. How was she going to manage this situation?
At this moment, her phone rang. Her mother, Kong Lan, called her.
Zhou Zhilei’s eyes lit up. Her muddled life had finally welcomed a helpline right now.
She picked up the call quickly. “Hello, Mum, are you and Dad both back already? I am already at my wit’s ends right now. Ning Qing’s mother, Yue Wanqing, is Grandfather’s daughter Dou Dou. Ning Qing is grandfather’s biological granddaughter!”
Kong Lan, who was on the other end, laughed coldly as she listened on. “Tsk tsk, I really did not think that Ning Qing would have this status at that time. Even the Heavens are helping her.”
“Mum, it is not the time to be emotional right now. What are we going to do right now? If Grandpa finds out that Ning Qing is his biological granddaughter, then we would be dead. We will be chased away, and the Zhou family winery would not belong to us anymore.”
“Zhilei, why are you anxious?” Kong Lan laughed confidently as she casually said, “It’s no big deal. Look at how anxious you are right now.”
Zhou Zhilei froze. Was this matter not considered to be big?
It was important to the family.
Unless…
Zhou Zhilei felt her entire being come back to life. She was surprised and shocked. Her mother had a secret in her hands. She definitely did. “Mum, you…”
“Okay, Zhi Lei, your father and I will come home tomorrow morning. Aren’t you at Sunshine Orphanage right now? You ask the old director to tell your grandparents this…”
….
When Zhou Heng visited the orphanage, Ning Qing was on the other side as they had few rooms in the temple. No one was too enthusiastic. They chatted with one another as they prepared to go to bed.
Ning Qing poured a glass of warm water and handed it over to Yue Wanqing. “Mum, don’t be sad. It is fated that you are unable to find them. You should take it with an open heart.”
Yue Wanqing took the cup of water and had a sip. She sighed; it was still a regret.
Her surname, “Yue,” was given to her by the Old Madam Ning . She actually wanted to know her real surname very much.
Lu Shaoming noticed that his mother-in-law was looking very upset. He asked, “Mum, do you really not have any impression of what happened in the past? For example, what was your nickname? Where did you live before…”
Yue Wanqing tried to search for her memories in her mind. “I have such an impression… My house was very very big. There were…many flowers… There was someone chasing behind me, and they ordered me not to run too quickly to prevent me from falling. They called me…”
“Called you what?”
Yue Wanqing shook her head. “No, too much time has passed. I can’t remember it anymore… My head hurts…”
“Mum, forget it if you cannot remember. Don’t think about it anymore…” Ning Qing hugged her mother’s shoulders. Her mother’s health was not too good to begin with. She did not want her mother to suffer even more.
Jian Han stood at one side as she looked on. She felt her heart hurt. She took the chance when nobody noticed. She opened the door softly, and walked out.
Looking at Auntie Yue look for her own biological parents, Jian Han placed one small hand on her own belly. There would be a day in the future. Would her child also think of looking for her own father?
It was the first time Jian Han was bought over. She was so lonely. She wanted to give birth to his son to accompany her for the rest of her life, but this was unfair towards the child. Without his father, she could not give this child a complete home. She could not give the child fatherly love, and she was being too selfish.
