Chapter 813 Utterly Ridiculous
After repeated investigations, the news that Song Yunxuan got was still what was written in the original information.
Her mood gradually recovered.
Within half a month after the New Year, she went to the Sanye Orphanage where Gu Changle had been.
Sanye was a small city around Yuncheng.
Because it was close to the sea, many children of fishermen lived in the city.
Because there was no prosperous trade in the city, many fishermen left their wives and children behind and chose to work in the surrounding cities.
When Song Yunxuan and Mei Qi arrived at the Sanye Orphanage,
The orphanage was for the New Year’s holiday, so there were only three staff members guarding the children inside the rusty gate.
Song Yunxuan ordered Mei Qi to distribute the toys, snacks, and new clothes brought from Yuncheng to the remaining twenty children in the orphanage.
Among these children, some had hereditary diseases, and some were born stupid.
Some children were discarded by their parents because they were illegitimate children and their parents didn’t like them.
Song Yunxuan wore a thick down jacket and a cashmere scarf around her neck. She wrapped herself very tightly.
She only showed half of her face to face the children.
People said that children’s eyes were the cleanest.
When they saw unclean things in this world, they would cry.
They would laugh when they saw clean and holy souls.
Song Yunxuan thought she belonged to unclean things.
The dean held a beautiful little girl with thin hair in her arms. When the little girl saw Song Yunxuan who was wrapped tightly, she cried.
No matter how people coaxed her, she would not stop crying.
The old dean in her fifties handed the child to a staff member next to her. Facing the visit of a lady from a wealthy family with a reputation and social status, the dean could not understand and was flattered.
She politely wanted to shake hands with Song Yunxuan.
However, as soon as she stretched out her hand, she saw her ugly hand covered with frostbite.
She immediately wanted to withdraw her hand.
Before she could retract her hand, Song Yunxuan shook her hand.
Then, Song Yunxuan said, “I think it’s time for this orphanage to be renovated.”
The dean looked at Song Yunxuan with her eyes that were with thick eye lines.
Holding the dean’s hand, Song Yunxuan turned her head on her own, looked at the dilapidated courtyard, and saw through the window the wall falling down. Song Yunxuan smiled and said, “After all, Gu Changle has inherited the legacy after Gu Changge’s death. Her transit station should also be renovated.”
Because of this sentence, the eyes of the old dean were immediately filled with horror and disbelief.
She was frightened because Song Yunxuan said “transfer station”.
She felt incredible because people found her while they were investigating something that happened more than twenty years ago.
The dean opened her mouth in surprise.
Song Yunxuan saw her look so surprised.
She couldn’t help laughing, “Dean, why is your expression so surprised? Is it because you didn’t expect anyone to find out what happened so many years ago?”
The dean took a step back.
Song Yunxuan also let go of the dean’s hand.
She turned her head to look at the beautiful little girl, who just now burst into tears when seeing her.
Song Yunxuan said to the dean, “This child’s eyes are very clean and can see through the nature of human beings. Otherwise, she won’t cry too much when she sees me.”
The dean’s nerves were tensed.
The vigilance in her eyes could not be concealed.
Song Yunxuan continued, “Since I can scare children to cry, you should also know that I am not a good person.”
With the muscles on the dean’s face shaking, she was unwilling to continue discussing this topic. She smiled dryly and said, “A child knows nothing. She can’t even speak.”
“She couldn’t speak, but she cried with fear when she saw me. Dean, would you tell me all the truth at that time because you are afraid of me?”
The dean felt grave in her heart, but she still tried to maintain a calm expression, “Miss Song, what are you talking about?”
Looking around the entire orphanage, Song Yunxuan said in a dull and affectionate voice, “I told you I’m not a good person. If you tell me about Gu Changle, I will help you rebuild this orphanage and donate 5 million to you every year to take care of these children. If you don’t tell me, I can finish the formalities this afternoon and shovel this orphanage away.”
Hearing Song Yunxuan’s words, the dean opened her eyes wide in surprise and couldn’t help but blame, “How can you do this?”
“Why can’t I do this?” Song Yunxuan smiled without a malicious expression, “A barely maintained orphanage without powerful supporters or influential sponsors. Can’t I do anything to it?”
The dean naturally understood what Song Yunxuan said.
However, she had no children in her entire life, and her relatives had passed away one after another. She was an elderly person with no family left alone.
She was now in her fifties. She lived by taking care of these children. Occasionally, she was able to get donations to maintain expenses.
If Song Yunxuan shoveled out the orphanage, not only the children would be homeless,
but the dean would also starve to death on the street.
Thinking of this, the dean felt as if she had suffered a catastrophe. She panicked and grabbed Song Yunxuan’s hand, “You can’t do this! You can’t do this! These children will die if they lose the orphanage and are not adopted.”
“It’s none of my business.” Song Yunxuan shook her hand away.
The dean was thrown away by Song Yunxuan.
Unable to maintain her balance, she couldn’t help but back up several steps.
She saw the children gathered around Mei Qi and happily received gifts and snacks.
She felt that some secrets did not need to be kept for a lifetime.
She fell into contemplation.
She couldn’t stop thinking.
Looking at the door of the orphanage, Song Yunxuan asked, “What did Gu Cheng promise you back then?”
Had her father promised anything to the dean when he took Gu Changle away from here?
“No, he didn’t.” The dean shook her head.
Song Yunxuan said again, “Well, did he give you a sum of money?”
The dean pursed her lips and acknowledged it silently.
Song Yunxuan nodded, expressing her understanding, “That’s right. At that time, the jewel in his palm was Gu Changge, his eldest daughter. He would not deal with Gu Changle’s affairs behind his eldest daughter. If he had done it at that time, it definitely would have aroused Gu Changge’s suspicion.”
Gu Changle was taken home by Gu Cheng for adoption when she was seven years old.
At that time, Gu Changge was surviving among the crises.
Gu Changge’s immature wings began to grow feathers, and the sharp fangs began to show off.
Therefore, when seeing these, her father quietly dismissed the idea that he wanted her real eldest daughter to be the heir.
The illegitimate daughter of his lover was one month older than the daughter of his legal wife.
In fact, apart from her beauty, she was an empty shell.
The seven years of Gu Changge and the seven years of Gu Changle were too different.
In Gu Changge’s seven years, there was no innocence, only bloody killings and the consciousness and struggle to survive invincible.
Gu Changle, who grew up to seven years old in the orphanage, was the dean’s favorite child.
Gu Changle was cute and beautiful, so the dean treated her as her own daughter and gave her the best as if she had been making an investment.
The dean placed all her expectations on Gu Changle.
She believed that Gu Changle would be adopted by a very wealthy family.
Then, Gu Changle would be the one who saved the orphanage.
Naturally, the dean’s idea was not wrong.
Gu Changle was indeed adopted by the wealthy Gu Family.
However, she had not been able to save the orphanage.
Back then, if Gu Changle had not been afraid of Gu Changge’s suspicion, she would have eliminated the orphanage.
However, Gu Changle completely forgot the threat of the existence of this orphanage to her after Gu Changge’s death.
Therefore, the orphanage was quiet and neglected in Sanye.
The dean did not go to Gu Changle, which was equivalent to seeking destruction on her own.
She had been so hard to maintain the orphanage.
Now Song Yunxuan found her.
This reminded her of Gu Cheng’s request that she shouldn’t tell anyone even if she was dead.
She gritted her teeth.
Song Yunxuan said, “If you say it, I will fund this orphanage and protect these children. If you don’t tell me, I can only watch you make your corpses on the streets for a dead man’s request.”
Song Yunxuan’s words made the dean tremble with fright.
After Song Yunxuan finished speaking, she looked at the little girl who was still crying fiercely.
She walked to the child, reaching out to hug her.
The child saw Song Yunxuan stretched out her hand and wanted to carry her.
She hid in fear.
But the employee holding the baby couldn’t refuse Song Yunxuan.
She forcibly handed the child to Song Yunxuan.
The child cried and struggled. She was handed to Song Yunxuan’s hand like being handed to the devil’s hand.
She cried loudly.
When Song Yunxuan was about to receive the child,
The dean suddenly said, “Changle is indeed Gu Cheng’s biological daughter.”
The smile on Song Yunxuan’s mouth disappeared as quickly as the ice melted.
She also completely lost her interest in holding the child. She turned her head and looked at the dean, “If you tell a lie, I will kill you.”
Her father was Gu Cheng.
She did not allow her father to be stigmatized.
However, if this was true, it would be ridiculous.
“What I said is true. Miss Song, you can ask Gu Changle’s biological mother.”
“Her biological mother is still alive?”
If she was still alive, it meant that Gu Changle had not investigated her background after leaving the orphanage.
Didn’t Gu Changle know that she was Gu Cheng’s biological daughter?
She didn’t even know that her biological mother was still alive?
“Does Gu Changle know nothing?”
The dean nodded, “Gu Cheng asked me to keep this secret. I can’t tell anyone, not even Changle.”
“Huh. Hypocritical.”
Song Yunxuan couldn’t help commenting on her father.
The dean continued, “Gu Cheng believed that Changle would clash with Gu Changge after knowing her background. Therefore, before he died, he asked me not to disclose the secret, especially to Changle.”
Hearing what the dean said, Song Yunxuan’s mood became a little complicated.
