When the night gradually grew darker, Tang Zeyu and Zhong Yunxi finally arrived at a remote orphanage. Zhong Yunxi looked at the orphanage that was only lit up with a few lights.
"I don't have much of an impression of this place. It's as if I've never lived here before." Zhong Yunxi could not help but sigh. How could she not remember her childhood?
"Maybe it's because you were too young at that time, so it's normal that you don't remember. Don't think too much about it. Come, let's go in and take a look. I've already made an appointment with the dean." Tang Zeyu pulled her down the carriage.
Looking at this orphanage, it was as if there were no traces of maintenance here anymore. After returning home, he would have to invest in this place and fix it up properly so that the orphans could live a better life.
"This is the director's office. Before I came here, I explained the situation to her so after entering, I should be able to see the information about you when you were here." Tang Zeyu held her hand tightly, "Don't be too nervous, I'm fine."
Zhong Yunxi nodded and firmly pushed open the door. She was already prepared to know the truth, and she definitely could not shrink back.
In the small office, the lights were dim. The dean, with a head full of white hair, was sitting behind a desk. He looked kind and comforting. He wore a pair of glasses and was focusing on something.
"President, hello, I'm Tang Zeyu, I called you." Tang Zeyu walked to her side, and the old Headmaster just realized that someone had appeared beside him.
"Oh, you're here. Please take a seat. You are." The old dean looked at the person standing in the doorway.
"Hello, Principal. I am Zhong Yunxi."
"Zhong Yunxi? Oh, you must be the child that you were looking for, Xiao Yun. "
"Xiao Yun?"
"Yeah, I found your information. You were called Xiao Yun when you were here." The old Headmaster said as he picked up the documents and handed it to the two of them. There had been too many children here over the years, so this was all she could find.
Zhong Yunxi quickly walked over and took the information. The first thing that entered her eyes was the jade pendant's picture, the words on the jade pendant were much clearer than what she could see now.
"You called me Xiao Yun because you saw this word?" Zhong Yunxi took out her jade pendant.
"Yeah, when you were sent here by the police, you didn't remember anything and that was all you had, so we called you Xiao Yun. Actually, you didn't stay here long and were adopted by them, so there aren't that many things about you here."
"Do you remember the family that adopted her? Why did they adopt her? As far as I know, that family wasn't rich, and they didn't like her either." Tang Zeyu asked, he truly could not think of a reason for the Zhong Family to adopt Zhong Yunxi.
"The family that adopted her, let me think." The old Headmaster seemed to be immersed in his memories, as he carefully thought back to when Zhong Yunxi was young, but that period of time was really too long.
It was clearly stated that she was rescued and sent to an orphanage after a kidnapping case. Just as Yun Shaokang had said, his daughter was also missing in the kidnapping case.
However, less than half a year after he was sent here, he was adopted by the Zhong Family. When he was here, no one came to find him.
"I was sent here by the police. Since I was missing, why didn't they help me find my family? Why haven't anyone come to recognize me in half a year?" Zhong Yunxi was very suspicious.
If he was really Yun Shaokang's daughter, how could these police officers not know about his disappearance?
"When you were sent here by the police, it was said that half a year had passed since you were kidnapped. The police really didn't find your family and sent you here, so I don't know why after that." The old dean shook his head. "Moreover, this matter has really been going on for too many years. I really don't remember."
"Do you remember the family that adopted me?"
"Oh, I remember a little." The old dean gestured for the two of them to sit down.
Zhong Yunxi and Tang Zeyu quietly sat down and listened to the old Principal talking about things that they did not know about.
"Back then, although no one knew who your family was or what your past was, when you came here, you didn't only bring this jade pendant, you also brought some money."
"A sum of money? "What kind of money?"
"When the police rescued you, they even stirred up a ransom from the kidnappers. At that time, you were the only one who wasn't claimed, so this ransom naturally belongs to you."
"So, why would you give me the money?"
"This money was originally left behind by the police as support for you. After you were adopted, this money was taken away by the Zhong Family."
"Then what you mean is, because of this money, Zhong Family adopted me?" Zhong Yunxi was amused by this absurd reason, but she felt that it was reasonable. After all, Zhong Dahai loved money as if it were her life. "How much is this money?"
"Three hundred thousand, but we kept a portion and gave it to the Zhong Family as your maintenance fund."
"Two hundred thousand. The two hundred thousand from twenty years ago is not a small amount. From the looks of our family's situation, he probably lost the bet." Zhong Yunxi smiled bitterly. No wonder she spent such a large amount of money.
"But why did the Zhong Family adopt a child?" Zhong Yunxi once again raised her own question. After all, it was impossible for the Zhong Family to adopt children because they were childless, and after her, there were still the births of Zhong Yu and Zhong Li.
"Sigh, speaking of this family, they aren't kind people. When they first came here, they came to send their old mother here. They were mistaken and thought this was a nursing home."
"Grandma? Is it an old man with senile dementia? "
"Yes, a patient with senile dementia."
Zhong Yunxi nodded, then that means she's her grandmother. She had met her a few times after coming to Zhong Family, but she passed away very quickly.
It turned out that it was due to luck that Zhong Family was here to send him off to a crazy old mother. That was why he had met him, realized that he had brought a lot of money with him, and adopted him. After that, he used up all his money and became the babysitter of the entire Zhong Family.
"Looks like there's nothing special here. Your adoption by the Zhong Family was just an accident." Tang Zeyu was a little disappointed. There were no special clues here.
"Yeah, let's go." Zhong Yunxi was also very disappointed, although she did not come here to find evidence, she knew that she was not adopted because she was needed, but because of the money she earned, she was even more disappointed.
He thought that it was because he did not do well enough that the Zhong Family did not like him. So it was like this.
"Xiao Yun, did you find your biological parents?" The old dean asked with concern.
"You can say that, dean. This place is so old, but are there many children here?"
"Oh, not much, there are very few children here. No one wants to invest in this place, it becomes smaller and smaller, and the police won't send any more children here." The old dean shook his head. "I'm already old, so I won't be able to control myself for long."
"Rest assured, old headmaster. I will invest in this place and build it even better. However, you must agree to one of my requests." Tang Zeyu took the initiative to ask for an investment.
"You want to invest in this place? "What is the request?"
"In the future, don't let anyone casually adopt another child here. After a strict examination, we will send away the children here." Tang Zeyu hugged Zhong Yunxi, he did not wish for another child to follow in Zhong Yunxi's footsteps.
After leaving the orphanage, Zhong Yunxi believed even more that she was the child of the Yun Family.
"Tell me, why didn't Yun Family find me back then? At that time, was the Yun Family that powerful? " Zhong Yunxi leaned on the window. She did not know anything about the past of the Yun Family.
"I don't know about the Yun Family from long ago, but I have heard that the Yun Family had a foundation by then, if not for that, those people would not have kidnapped you."
"Then why didn't they find me?"
"I don't know about that, but I have a question."
"What kind of questions?"
"Back then, Yun Xi was also kidnapped. Why did she come back and you didn't?" When Tang Zeyu mentioned this matter, he also said that Yun Xi had been kidnapped before.
"Yeah, Yun Xi was kidnapped before, is he with me?" Zhong Yunxi also thought of this matter.
"Then I don't know, maybe she was separated. Otherwise, it's impossible for me to find her."
Zhong Yunxi nodded her head, that's right, they were separated and kidnapped, otherwise, it would be impossible for them to only save one daughter.
"Then what should we do now, go see Yun Shaokang again?"
"Tang Zeyu looked at Zhong Yunxi in surprise. She actually took the initiative to go meet Yun Shaokang again?" Are you sure you want to see him? Let's look for concrete evidence. "
"Do you think Yun Xi knows that he came to find me? If it's really like what Yun Shaokang said, then when Yun Xi hid my identity at first, did Yun Xi know that he came to find me today? " Zhong Yunxi suddenly asked a question, and it was true that she was asking Tang Zeyu.
"Yeah, you're right. It's very likely that Yun Xi doesn't know about this." Tang Zeyu suddenly parked his car by the side of the road.
"Yun Xi doesn't know about this. Could it be that the reason Yun Shaokang suddenly came to find you is because of something that happened with Yun Xi?"
"What do you mean?" Zhong Yunxi looked at him in puzzlement, why would he suddenly think of this?
"You don't understand Yun Shaokang. If Yun Xi and the others didn't have any questions, even if he knew your identity, he might not have come over so hastily to recognize you." Tang Zeyu started to quickly analyze the situation in his mind.
Yun Shaokang was a man that valued his own interests. Initially, in order to obtain the Tang Clan's shares, he had helped his. Later on, because of Kai Wen's appearance, he did not wish for Yun Xi to marry him.
If Kai Wen could bring him even more benefits, perhaps he would wait for Kai Wen to completely swallow himself and obtain what he wanted before recognizing his as his daughter. Or rather, if Yun Xi was unwilling, he might not even recognize his anymore.
But he had come at this critical moment, which was enough to say that there was a serious problem with Yun Xi. There must be something else that he had not told them, perhaps it was related to him.
No, he had to go and see Yun Shaokang again to get a clear understanding of the situation.
