Chapter 125: Returning to the Orphanage
âRight, I gave those two a little warning yesterday as a lesson, just to set things straight. Let me know when you make your move!â Li Zichuan suddenly mentioned to Lu Li.
âDonât worry, itâs all set, in just a couple of days. But your âlessonâ wonât make that young master realize his faults. Itâs more of a wasted effort.â Given the female leadâs stubborn character, how could she possibly prioritize the survival of the company over her own interests! Only when facing bankruptcy and unable to maintain her former lifestyle will she panic!
Su Linya, puzzled, furrowed her brows upon overhearing their conversation, naturally catching every word exchanged between the two while holding their hands in the middle.
âWhat happened?â she inquired.
Li Zichuan waved it off: âNothing serious, just that yesterdayâŠâ
After recounting the unpleasant incident from the previous day, Su Linya listened quietly, her beautiful face darkening with anger by the time Li Zichuan finished.
She smacked Li Zichuanâs head: âYou dead boy, Lu Li just arrived in Magic City and youâve already let him be wronged. Those two dared to bully him, and you havenât sorted them out yet?â
Her eyes flashed sharply; Su Linya has never been one to turn the other cheek. Anyone daring to mess with Lu Li wonât get off easily.
âMom! Itâs not that I didnât help! Itâs because Lu Li said heâs entering Magic City and wanted to use them as an example, so I didnât act.â Li Zichuan looked at his mom with his big, watery eyes, somehow managing to look aggrieved.
My god, is this guy flirting?
Li Zichuan, youâve got issues!
Lu Liâs mouth twitched. A grown man, actually pulling this stunt. They hadnât spent much time together over the years, and it seems this guy has really gone off the deep end!
Well, not really. Heâs always been like this.
But it seems he only acts this way in front of him and Aunt Su.
âXiao Li, is that so?â Su Linya turned to Lu Li.
âYes, Auntie, I just arrived in Magic City and ran into those two. They might as well serve as my stepping stone.â Lu Li chuckled and nodded.
Su Linya then nodded in understanding: âAlright, if thatâs what you want, Xiao Li, then itâs fine. Zichuan, when itâs time, you follow his orders and make yourself useful.â
Lu Li smiled and agreed; Aunt Suâs kindness could not be wasted!
Li Zichuan pouted, knowing his mom doted on Lu Li and understood her feelings.
But, Mom, why do you think when Lu Li needs help, I would back down? Am I that kind of person?
Do I need a reminder to help Lu Li?!
Soon, they arrived at the orphanage entrance. Lu Li had been supporting the orphanage annually without fail. Some things he wouldnât do, like donating all his assets, that was for saints, and Lu Li was no saint. But for those worth helping, he was willing to lend a hand!
This orphanage also harbored the happiest memories of his youth. freewÄbnoveâ.com
The old caretaker had always been under his watch, not in a rude way, but to ensure his donations reached the intended recipients.
And the Caretaker never let him down.
Otherwise, Lu Li would have cut off support long ago.
You Meng stepped forward, taking Lu Liâs other hand, smiling sweetly at him. This orphanage represented the best days of her childhood.
In her previous life, she and Big Brother were separated by just one day, a perpetual ache in You Mengâs heart.
Thankfully, in this life, everything was fine. Itâs no longer about whether or not she can save Big Brother. After escaping from Zhang Ziqin and Lu Ya, whatâs a Ye Chen to worry about?
If it werenât for those two despicable women, Lu Ya and Zhang Ziqin, conspiring with Ye Chen while stabbing Big Brother in the back, disturbing his peace of mind, Ye Chen would never have been a match for Big Brother.
âAre you here to adopt a child?â An elderly lady approached them, her smile kind.
âCaretaker Grandma.â You Meng couldnât help but hug the old lady: âIâm You Meng! Donât you remember me?â
âYou Meng?â The Caretaker was surprised, examining the young woman before her. After a few seconds, her face broke into a wide smile: âYou Meng, youâre back! Where did you run off to? We couldnât find you, and your Big Brother, that young master, was so worried.â
Her tone was a bit scolding, but the joy in her words couldnât be hidden.
âGrandma, a lot happened back then. I went abroad to work these past few years.â You Meng smiled gently, her tumultuous life summed up as âworking abroad.â

âDonât worry, everythingâs fine!â
The Caretaker looked at You Meng reassuringly and nodded: âThatâs good, thatâs good. Coming back is what matters.â
Every child from the orphanage was raised by her hand, treated as her own. When You Meng disappeared, she worried for a long time.
âMmm!â You Meng nodded firmly, tears glistening in her eyes.
Su Linya nodded silently. Though she wouldnât say it, she liked You Meng, who knew gratitude. Maybe she couldnât interfere with Lu Li, but she hoped he could be happy.
He had been misled once; that was enough. There was no need for a second time.
Lu Li also stepped forward: âCaretaker Grandma, long time no see!â
Although he had always supported the orphanage, it had indeed been many years since he last visited. His last visit was before his death in his previous life, when he handed over his assets to this kind old lady.
There are too many people in the world blinded by greed, but not this lady before him.
From middle age to old age, she had always guarded this orphanage, her integrity unassailable.
âYou are⊠the young master!â The Caretaker stared at Lu Li for a few moments, her aged eyes lighting up: âDid the young master find You Meng?â
âItâs the other way around; this girl found me!â Lu Li joked.
Discovering that one of the heroines he was supporting turned out to be You Meng had nearly knocked him out. Fortunately, You Meng proved herself, and even Zhang Ziqin, in her dying words, revealed a past different from the storyline.
âItâs all the same, all the same. Seeing you both well makes me relieved, relieved.â The Caretaker laughed heartily.
âThese years, I must thank you, young master, for supporting our orphanage. Without it, I donât know if the children could have had a warm meal.â Moved, she held Lu Liâs hand, her voice trembling.
Some people are willing to give their all because of their kindness. The Caretaker is such a person. Lu Li doesnât want to be that kind of person, but he respects those who are.
