Chapter 256: Untitled

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the small kitchen, Li An’an was preparing dinner. After a lengthy chat, Chu Yichen finally stopped talking about locking her up.manhua

Long Ting strolled into the small kitchen carelessly. “So this is the love nest my cousin bought you. Not bad. The environment is acceptable.”

Li An’an walked over carrying the glass of water. “Excuse me.”

Long Ting didn’t have time to dodge before his sleeves got wet. He really wanted to flare up, but when he looked at the man sitting on the sofa, he suppressed his anger. In any case, it wasn’t like he didn’t gain anything. Now that he had exposed Li An’an’s identity, he would be able to enjoy his food openly.

Li An’an prepared dinner for Long Ting and Chu Yichen and went upstairs. She opened the window and looked down, wondering if she’d be able to escape. But when she saw the two tall bodyguards standing outside the metal gate, she immediately gave up on the idea. Even if she could get down to the second floor sliding down a bedsheet, she wouldn’t be able to walk out of the huge metal gate. Forget it.

There was an unknown call on her phone.

“Hello, who’s there?”

“Are vou… An’an? I’m Director Wang. It’s really you who sent these things to the children. An’an, it’s great that you’re fine after all.” Director Wang recognized her voice and was so excited that she was rather incoherent.

Li An’an didn’t expect it to be Director Wang. Her eyes reddened. Back when she was in the orphanage, Director Wang took care of her like a mother. Although later she was adopted by the Li family, Director Wang would still call to ask about her well-being. However, at that time, in order not to worry her, she kept all her grievances to herself.

“Yes, Director Wang, I’m fine. I’m really fine.” Her voice was choked. She had never thought that Director Wang would find her. Oh right, among the things she had bought, there were the thermal gloves that she had promised to give her before the accident. She could have guessed that. In addition, she had bought two portions of snacks, one for the babies. That was why she was able to find her.

“That’s good, but why did the Li family say that you were dead? And why didn’t you show up after so many years? I really thought that you had met with misfortune.’

Director Wang sounded like she was on the verge of tears. Children who left the orphanage had a rough life. No matter where they went, she would worry. Especially since An’an was such an obedient and likable child. She had not been able to cope with the sudden news of misfortune befalling the child. Luckily, it was all a false alarm.

“Director Wang, don’t believe the Li family. They’re not as kind as they appear to be. In their household, I was no different from a servant. They threw all the work to me and gave me the worst of food, clothes, and daily necessities.”

“This pair of hypocritical bastards,” Director Wang scolded. She didn’t expect the Li couple to be such people. To think that she thought they were kind souls. If she hadn’t called the owner of the online shop to ask for the sender’s number and found An’an, she would have been kept in the dark.

“This is why I disappeared for a few years. We can talk further when we meet next time. In short, don’t trust them, and don’t ever allow them to adopt any children again.”

“I won’t, don’t worry. By the way, An’an, the last time Li Luhua came to the orphanage, she had asked about the jade pendant that you had left behind in the orphanage. I was worried that something was fishy and didn’t pass it to her.”

“Jade pendant?” Li An’an seemed to have some impression of it. That jade pendant was a dark green carp. She had carried it with her since she was very young, but the carp’s tail had a tiny chip on it. It was probably damaged when she fell during her childhood years.

“Why does she want my jade pendant?” Li An’an felt that the jade pendant wasn’t worth much. If it was, her gambling-loving father would have used it to gamble.

“I don’t know either, but I didn’t give it to her. I left it in the director’s office. If you come over one day, I’ll pass it back to you.”

“Alright, Director. Thank you. I’ll come and see you when I have time. Also, don’t tell anyone that I’m alive.”

“Okay, we’ll speak again when we meet..”
