"Hanamaki, the dean's mother said that my father will come to pick me up soon. Do you think I should go back with him?"
After the dean's persuasion, Xiao Zhaoxi reluctantly accepted Lin Zhaosheng's existence, but she had not yet decided whether to go back with Lin Zhaosheng.
She naturally longs for the warmth of family.
But she also felt resentful towards that strange father.
After disappearing for more than ten years, she had already accepted her identity as an orphan, but Lin Zhaosheng suddenly appeared again.
"Go back."
Li Jie smiled and replied: "Your dad is actually quite good."
Xiao Zhaoxi said in a resentful tone: "Why didn't he find me until now?"
"Didn't Mother Dean tell you?"
"No."
Xiao Chaoxi shook her head. The dean just said that there was some misunderstanding, but did not say anything specific.
"Maybe your dad has some reasons."
Li Jie tried his best to use words to dispel Xiao Zhaoxi's doubts.
"Actually, I spent some time with your dad yesterday. Even though he dresses like a second-rate guy, he actually has a good heart."
"Yesterday he saw that it was getting late, so he made a special trip to see me off."
In the current timeline, Li Jie most likely has no chance of being adopted by Lin Zhaosheng. After all, without Strawberry Lin Chaoxi's interference, there is no reason for him to follow the Lin family.
However, it’s better not to go to Lin’s house.
Li Jie is not a real child. In the main world, he was also an orphan. There was no system at that time, but he was still able to make a name for himself in the screenwriting circle.
Today, he is no longer what he used to be. As long as he is willing, there is no difficulty in becoming the richest man.
Whether it is difficult or not depends solely on whether he wants to do it.
Of course, he definitely doesn't want to be the richest man now.
What's the use of being the richest man?
When money reaches a certain level, it is just a string of numbers.
There is no need to give up life experience just to make money.
Money is just enough.
On the other side, Xiao Chaoxi said nothing. She seemed to have figured it out, but she didn't seem to have figured it out.
For her now, such a choice is too difficult.
After thinking about it, she felt that she should wait until they met in person.
She wanted to hear what that person said, why he abandoned her in the first place.
If the answer satisfies her, she will go back with him.
Which child who grew up in an orphanage doesn’t want to have a family?
In fact, Xiao Zhaoxi already had a preference in her heart, and the reason why she did not make a decision directly was just a subconscious choice.
…
…
…
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Early that morning, the dean stood at the door of the courtyard early, as if she was waiting for someone.
Not long after, the roar of a motorcycle was heard not far away.
Hearing this voice, the dean's impatient heart calmed down a little.
Looking at Lin Zhaosheng coming on a bicycle, the dean actually felt resentful in his heart.
She had obviously agreed to contact her by phone, but she called her for two days in a row, but she never answered the phone.
In the end, she almost thought Lin Zhaosheng had run away.
This situation is not uncommon in her career.
laugh!
After the car stopped, Lin Zhaosheng quickly ran to the dean.
"I'm so sorry!"
"Dean, I've been delayed by something these past two days. I'm sorry. It's all my fault!"
Lin Zhaosheng smiled and apologized again. He looked extremely normal, as if nothing happened two days ago.
But his sunken eye sockets and unshaven appearance gave him away.
Seeing Lin Zhaosheng's appearance, the dean was also shocked.
How did Lin Zhaosheng change so much in just two days?
A few days ago he was a good and energetic young man, but today he has turned into a decadent young man with a haggard look on his face?
Is it because of recognizing Xixi?
Thinking about it, the dean's eyes looked at Lin Zhaosheng with a little more scrutiny.
Not knowing the inside story, she thought Lin Zhaosheng was worried about recognizing his daughter.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but start to think about whether it was the right choice for Xixi and Lin Zhaosheng to go back.
The father and daughter have been separated for many years, but they finally find their daughter. Why do they even think about recognizing her?
If you want to think deeply, there is no need to admit it!
However, when he thought of Xiao Chaoxi's changes in the past two days, the dean hesitated again.
Although Xiao Chaoxi didn't say anything, Xiao Chaoxi became obviously more cheerful, and she was definitely willing to go back with Lin Zhaosheng.
'well.'
The dean sighed silently. From her point of view, there was definitely no reason to prevent the father and daughter from reuniting.
‘That’s okay.’
'The worst thing is, I'll pay you more visits in the future.'
Generally speaking, when a child is picked up from an orphanage, the orphanage must pay regular return visits.
Of course, the frequency won't be too high.
However, if necessary, the hospital can also flexibly control the number of visits. It is definitely not possible to go less often. It depends on the scale.
At the same time, Li Jie was standing by the window sill on the second floor, silently observing everything happening at the door.
Seeing Lin Zhaosheng's haggard look, he was also a little surprised.
It felt like I hadn't slept for days and nights.
It shouldn't be.
He knew Lin Zhaosheng and unexpectedly found his long-dead daughter. It was too late for Lao Lin to be happy.
Where would it be like now?
Did something happen in the meantime?
Li Jie silently substituted Lin Zhaosheng's information and deduced it carefully.
Half a moment.
Li Jie vaguely guessed part of the truth.
There are not many things that can make Lao Lin become like this. There are only a few things, excluding several things that are impossible to happen at the moment.
There is only one thing left!
He saw Qiu Yue’s suicide note!
Although I don't know what happened in the middle, Lao Lin probably got the letter.
If that were the case, everything would make sense.
After a while, Li Jie saw the dean calling Xiao Zhaoxi, and then the three of them walked into the dean's office.
After seeing this, Li Jie turned around, went downstairs, and walked toward the door.
He is going somewhere!
Go to Lao Lin's house to see and confirm a fact.
Half an hour later, Li Jie appeared at the door of Lao Lin's house. Although the door was locked, it was not a problem for him.
Lao Lin has a habit of putting a spare key under the flower bed at the door.
Opening one of the flower pots, I was surprised to see a brass key.
Picking up the key, opening the courtyard door, Li Jie walked into the house. Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Li Jie smiled slightly.
To a certain extent, he was revisiting his old place.
In the previous timeline, he had lived here for a long time.
‘Huh?’
Soon, Li Jie saw the letter on Lao Lin's workbench.
Except for some yellowing and wrinkles, the letter paper is still the same as before.
Not one of those three blood stains was missing.
Lao Lin didn't wipe it?
Looking at the letter in front of him, Li Jie fell into deep thought.
Do you want to wipe out one section and go to Strawberry World?
The question of that variable has always been on his mind.
After thinking for a moment, Li Jie gave up the idea.
