The next day, Li An’an woke up very early. She put on her mask and sent Junjun and Jùnjùn to the kindergarten.
Now that the contest was receiving a lot of attention, she was worried that there would be more problems, so she put on a mask and hat when she went out.
Junjun and Jùnjùn, dressed in their kindergarten uniform, were led in by their teacher. The young teacher watched hesitantly.
Li An’an found it strange. Had she watched any episodes of the contest? She was about to tell her teacher to keep it a secret, but the teacher had already started to walk back in, holding Junjun and Jünjbn’s hands. She even turned around to give Li An’an a sympathetic look.
Li An’an recalled that Chu Yichen had visited the school previously. The teachers must have noticed that the three children were his and were aware of his status. Now that she was sending the two boys here, they must be thinking that he had abandoned them! She had no idea how to explain it! Fortunately, Chu Yichen did not see Junjun and Jünjbn’s faces.
At this point, Principal Liu came out through the doorway with an embarrassed expression. “An’an, will you speak with the children’s father, ask him not to tear down this kindergarten? I know this matter must be very difficult for you, but will you help these children on account of how lovable and adorable they are?!”
Li An’an replied, “Alright, I’ll give it a try, but I can’t guarantee that he’ll agree.”
“Just do your best and that will be more than enough. Thank you!” The director heaved a sigh of relief. Obviously, she was prepared for the worst.
Li An’an said goodbye to her, then bought a few things and returned to her hometown. She followed the route as far as she could recall, and found her aunt’s house. What used to be a wooden house was now a two-story building with a large iron gate. She banged on the door outside.
Li Cuifen came out of the house. When she saw Li An’an, her expression immediately changed. “What are you doing here? Didn’t you sever ties with us?
Go away, shoo!”
Li An’an dangled the high-end cigarettes and wine before the woman.
Li Cuifen’s expression immediately changed. “We’re all family. Come in. An’an, why did you buy so many things?”
Li An’an couldn’t be bothered with her. She walked into the two-story building and found that while it was bright and beautiful outside, the inside was sparse, and there was only a dilapidated wooden sofa in the living room. As expected, this family was still as shameless as when she was young.
As soon as Li An’an had put down her things, Li Cuifen hurriedly picked them up and kept them away. Then she took out a few unripe fruits from the inner room. “You know that we in the village are poor, so just make do with it. That’s more like it. Although you’ve been adopted, you’re still a member of our family! You’re one of us. By the way, are you living alone now? Do you have a boyfriend? I know a man who has a house and a car. He can earn 100,000 yuan a year. I’ll play matchmaker and persuade him to marry you!”
Li Cuifen couldn’t wait to matchmake Li An’an. This two-story building was built with the money from matchmaking. As for the man she wanted to introduce to Li An’an, it was true that he had a house and a car. It was also true that he could earn 100,000 yuan every year. He loved to drink and gamble. He was a wife beater, and in his second marriage. His previous wife had run away because of the abuse she suffered. However, the man paid his matchmakers generously. This benefit should not be given to outsiders!
Li An’an ignored her. “There’s already someone I like. I’m here today to ask you if I’m adopted.”
Li Cuifen’s expression changed and she started to fume. “You wretched girl, why are you so heartless? Although your father is dead, he’s your father nevertheless. In the future, you’ll have to offer joss paper at his grave! Don’t even think about severing ties!”
Li An’an took out ten thousand yuan from her bag. “I just want to know the truth. Am I his biological daughter?”
Li Cuifen looked at the 10,000 yuan greedily, her heart wavering.
Actually, Li An’an was a girl whom he had adopted during one of his trips out of town. At the time he picked her up, she was suffering some head injuries. She was only 3 to 4 years old and was very beautiful. Because her younger brother had been childless all these years, he told people that Li An’an was his illegitimate child with a woman. Hence he brought her up. Many people in the village discussed this matter behind his back, but there was no evidence. She was the only one who knew, and she knew exactly where Li An’an was picked up from..
