Chapter 873: Revisiting The Past (1)

  

The woman was chattering non-stop, but Zhao Youlin was no longer in the mood to continue listening. She forced a smile and replied, “No need to trouble yourself. I just came back to take a look. Since they’re not here, forget it.”

As she spoke, Zhao Youlin turned to look at Mu Tingfeng and said in a low voice, “Let’s go.”

Mu Tingfeng could see that Zhao Youlin was not in a good mood. He took the initiative to hold Zhao Youlin’s hand and pulled her out.

“Hey, you two…”

The woman did not expect Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng to leave so quickly. She stood at the door of the office and opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out of her mouth. She sighed and was about to turn back to the office. However, she suddenly saw their director running over from not far away in a hurry.

The woman saw that the director was running in a hurry and could not help but shout, “Director, slow down, slow down! Why are you running so fast? Is there something urgent?”

The director did not even manage to catch her breath. She grabbed the woman’s hand and said breathlessly, “Where are the two people? Did they come over to your place?”

The director had been asking people all the way here. When she heard that the people were heading this way, she immediately lowered her head and rushed over. Her massive weight troubled her greatly.

“Which two people?”

“Just a man and a woman. Two people.”

The woman was stunned for a moment. Only then did she realize who the director was talking about. She asked tentatively, “Are they the young couple who just came here?”

“Yes, yes, yes, that’s them! Where are they? Where are they?”

“They seem to be leaving already. They just went that way.”

“Leaving? How can we let them leave just like that? You you you…” The director rolled her eyes at the woman who had failed to live up to her expectations. At that moment, she had already regarded Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng as money trees. How could she let them escape from her grasp just like that? “They left? Where did they go?”

The woman’s face turned slightly pale after being scolded. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly pointed in a direction.

The director couldn’t care about anything else. She left the woman behind and chased after Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng.

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng held hands as they walked out of the courtyard. However, they were stopped by the woman who had rushed over in a hurry.

“Wait a minute, wait a minute.”

Zhao Youlin and Zhao Youlin suddenly stopped when they heard the voice. They frowned and turned around to look at the large woman, who was running and panting. They asked coldly, “What is it?”

She wiped the sweat off her head. She chuckled and said, “Since you two are here, why don’t you stay a little longer? Our orphanage is quite big. But you must have seen it just now. There are so many children in this orphanage, and the facilities are also so simple and crude… since you are willing to take the time to come here to take a look, you must have good intentions. These children have been abandoned by others, with no one to rely on, and now this… we are all very sad. I believe that the two of you should feel the same way.”

The woman had only said so much just because she saw that they looked extraordinary, dressed well. She was tempted, and she wanted to trick the two of them into investing money in the orphanage.

If she really wanted to help those children, she would invest the money her way. Zhao Youlin did not care about that little bit of money. On the contrary, she was very happy to use that bit of money to help poor orphans like her.

In fact, it was not that she had not thought about it before coming here. It was just that her thoughts had completely stopped after she had clearly seen all the things in this orphanage.

Through her observation just now, she was already 90% sure that if she really invested money in this orphanage, the money would never reach the children in the orphanage. It would only line the pockets of the adults she had seen thus far, and maybe more.

Seeing that Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were unmoved, the woman grew even more anxious. Her eyes rolled around for a while. She chuckled again and said, “The two of you probably don’t know this. We have a merit monument specially set up here. Anyone who has invested money in our orphanage and has reached a certain amount of money will have their name engraved on it so that the children in our orphanage can see it. When they grow up, they would remember these benefactors who have helped them before.”

The woman pointed at the smooth stone tablet at the entrance. Her face was all smiles, but her eyes were gleaming with greed.

Zhao Youlin sneered. This woman may be greedy, but she also knew how the minds of the wealthy worked.

When a person had enough money in their hands, they would want a reputation. This so-called merit tablet was aimed at this mentality of rich people.

Unfortunately, she had met Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng this time, so she was destined to be disappointed.

Zhao Youlin could not be bothered to entertain this woman, but she accidentally caught a glimpse of a name on the merit tablet. To be more precise, it shouldn’t be a name, but a title — Mr. Lu.

The most eye-catching position at the top meant that he had once spent a lot of money here.

Mr. Lu… was this Mr. Lu that Mr. Lu? Or was it just a coincidence? Was she thinking too much? Zhao Youlin was puzzled, and Mu Tingfeng had noticed it as well. He stared at the three big words at the top of the stone tablet. His eyes darkened, and he fell into deep thought.

Seeing that the two of them were staring at the merit monument without saying anything for a long time, the director thought that there was a chance. She went forward with more enthusiasm and wanted to continue chatting with the two of them. Unexpectedly, Zhao Youlin came back to her senses at that moment. She turned around and said to Mu Tingfeng, “Let’s go.”

Mu Tingfeng nodded and ignored the noisy fat woman. They left together.

She was stunned for a long time before she finally came back to her senses.

Watching Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng drive away, the greedy fat woman finally couldn’t help but stamp her feet and spit in her heart. “The richer people are, the more stingy they are. Humph!”

Zhao Youlin could not care less about what people thought of her. Zhao Youlin hadn’t said a word since she got into the car.

Mu Tingfeng saw that she was in a bad mood. He drove the car to a remote roadside and stopped it. He asked in a low voice, “Are you sad about the fire in the orphanage?”

“I’m not sad. I just feel a little disappointed. Some mistakes are just too heavy to bear. They happen in such a fast, violent flash that you don’t even have time to regret it.” Zhao Youlin took one last look at the orphanage behind her. She had spent most of her childhood in this place, but now things were completely different here. That memory had been her personal treasure. It was more than just grief, it was gut-wrenching.
