The children in the orphanage woke up very early. They woke up at 5:30 a.m. and went to school.
The orphanage at 7 a.m. was very quiet. Only the Director and two teachers were cleaning up. The two guests who had come from afar were still sleeping in.
When Dou Manni walked into the orphanage and did not see the noisy children running around, she immediately felt smug.
“Bubba, look. We’re here before they even get up. They’re all lazier than me.”
Ye Moliang and Ye Yelin turned to look at Dou Manni with hopeless expressions.
They had obviously gone to school…
“Mommy, be careful not to fall on your face.”
Ye Moliang quipped coolly before flinging his mother’s hand away and made a beeline for an old man sweeping the floor in the courtyard.
“Hello, Grandpa. Are you the Director here?”
When Tang Zhuang saw the beautiful little boy in front of him, his old eyes lit up.
He squatted down and smiled lovingly. “That’s right, little one. Why are you here?”
“My Daddy wants to see you.”
Ye Moliang happily pulled Ye Ye Yelin before the old man.
Ye Yelin briefly recounted the matter, and indicated his wish to adopt Xia Jinmian.
Ye Moliang went looking for Xia Jinmian. However, he searched every bedroom and even saw two people sleeping in. But, he could not find his Pretty Sister.
He ran back and asked, “Grandpa, did Sister Xia Jinmian go to school?”
Last night, his sister had promised him that she would wait for him at the orphanage in the morning. Pretty Sister was not someone who would go back on her word.
Tang Zhuang exclaimed as if he had just remembered something and said, “Xia Jinmian was taken away by SWAT operatives last night. They said that a treasure was lost in Luo City and was stolen by a young lady. They treated Xia Jinmian as a suspect and wanted to investigate her.”
“Pretty Sister is not a thief!”
Ye Moliang clenched his fists angrily.
His sister—whom he admired the most—had been misunderstood as a thief. He was as aggrieved as if he was the one who was being misunderstood as a thief.
“Daddy, Bubba and Mommy will go and testify for Sister. You can chat with Grandpa here.”
Ye Moliang dragged Dou Manni and ran out, wanting to protect his Pretty Sister as a man.
“Slow down. Don’t make your mommy fall.”
Ye Yelin watched on nervously. He was afraid that his clumsy wife would be tripped by Bubba.
Seeing this, Tang Zhuang chuckled and said, “Sir and Madam share a deep love, and have an adorable son. Why do you still want to adopt a child?”
Ye Yelin withdrew his gaze and said helplessly, “To be honest, my beloved wife and I have four sons. Our family is filled with men. My beloved wife feels lonely sometimes, so she has always wanted to adopt a daughter. However, she hasn’t met a suitable girl for many years. Yesterday, she met Xia Jinmian. My beloved wife and my youngest son like her, so we decided to adopt her.”
“I see.” Tang Zhuang made an inviting gesture. “Sir, please have a cup of tea in the living room. Let’s start with the registration first. I’ll get someone to prepare Xia Jinmian’s information for you.”
The two of them left the courtyard and Bai Yumo—who was hiding behind the door—came out.
She had been woken up by the footsteps of a child and wanted to take a look. She had barely reached the door when she heard a couple in the courtyard saying they wanted to adopt Xia Jinmian.
Judging from the couple’s mannerisms and dressing, they must be from a wealthy family. She would never allow Xia Jinmian to be a daughter of a wealthy family!
How could Xia Jinmian be qualified to enjoy the life she had?
Bai Yumo restrained the venomous glint in her eyes. She walked to the adjacent room and looked at An Lan through the window—he was sleeping soundly. Her expression flickered, and she turned around to follow the teacher who had gone to the archive room.
