Chapter 40

Seeing that Li Haoyue was injured, the children in the orphanage couldn't care less about playing, and a group of people ran into the room to visit him.One of them is a girl with big eyes, 2 years younger than Li Haoyue, named Li Yun.She handed him a doll toy in her arms, and said with piercing eyes: "Hao Yue, don't cry, I'll introduce Xiaomei to you, and we will be good friends from now on."

Li Haoyue took the doll, smiled brightly, and said softly, "Thank you, good friend."

A group of friends started a lively conversation again, and the room was filled with innocent laughter.

Chai Yuluo let him rest for a while, took out his pocket watch and checked that the time was 5:[-] pm, so he said to him, "Haoyue, it's time for us to go home."

Li Haoyue bid farewell to everyone reluctantly, and when he left, he also agreed to come to the orphanage to play with them next time.Chai Yuluo stopped a rickshaw because he was worried that his feet would be injured and it would be difficult for him to walk.

After a while, he rushed back to the commander's mansion.

Huangfuchu hadn't returned to the mansion at this time, the old butler saw that Li Haoyue was injured, and was extremely anxious, so he hurriedly called the doctor in the mansion for diagnosis and treatment, which made Chai Yuluo feel very guilty for a while.On the contrary, Li Haoyue seemed to have grown up a lot in an instant after going through this trip to the orphanage.While the doctor was re-treating his wound, he gritted his teeth and looked at the worried Chai Yuluo and said, "Ms. Chai, I'm not afraid of pain, I'm a man."

The old housekeeper glanced at Li Haoyue in surprise, and then at Chai Yuluo, a little in disbelief.

Chai Yuluo smiled back at him, and asked softly: "Housekeeper Hu, when will the Commander return home? The young master was injured today. After all, I didn't take good care of him. I want to personally apologize to the Commander."

Butler Hu thought for a while, and replied: "Ms. Chai, when the commander went out this morning, he told me that he would not return to the house for dinner. I am afraid he will come back later."

Chai Yuluo nodded, and was about to take out his pocket watch to check the current time, but after searching for a long time, he found that it was gone.She was anxious, this pocket watch was a gift from her parents before she went to America.Now that the two elders have passed away, this has become the only thing she misses about them.

She tried to calm herself down, carefully recalling that she finally took out her pocket watch to check the time, it was in the orphanage.Seeing that it was late at that time, she was only thinking of taking Li Haoyue back home, so she casually put it on the table.

As long as she was sure that she was still in the orphanage, she felt relieved a lot.

She said to the butler: "Housekeeper Hu, I just forgot an important thing, go back and look for it now, don't wait for me for dinner."

After speaking, he hurried out of the Commander's Mansion, stopped a rickshaw, and rushed to the orphanage.As soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw the dean standing there with a pocket watch waiting for her, as if he had guessed that she would return.

Chai Yuluo heaved a sigh of relief, stepped forward and called out, "Dean."

The dean handed her the pocket watch, and said with a smile: "I heard Miss Chai say that this pocket watch is very important, and I thought you would definitely come back to get it. It didn't mean you just came out to wait for you, and you came here."

She also smiled embarrassedly: "Thank you very much."

The dean shook his head: "The people who should say thank you are me and the children in the orphanage. The money and books you donated to the orphanage have greatly helped to improve the lives and education of the children."

It was only then that Chai Yuluo remembered the unfinished question when chatting with the dean just now, so he continued to ask: "The person who was sent to donate money and books, how is he dressed?"

The dean was taken aback, and asked suspiciously: "I was not in the courtyard at the time, so I don't know too well. How do you ask this?"

She murmured: "No, just asking casually. It's getting late, I'll go back first."

As night fell, the last ray of light was swallowed by the darkness, and all the residential buildings were lit up with lights.Chai Yuluo left the orphanage and walked back home, wondering who would donate to the orphanage in her name.She filtered all the candidate lists in her mind, and finally found that there was only one possibility, Huangfuchu.

But if it was really him, why didn't he use his real identity?

Chai Yuluo couldn't understand it.

The streets in the evening were exceptionally clean, and all the hawkers packed up their stalls and went home, enjoying the rare family happiness after a busy day.She saw a young beggar on the side of the road, perhaps he had just asked for hot food from a certain family, and carefully brought it back, and fed it to another old man who was dying.

Chai Yuluo was very moved by this situation, she walked over and took out the change she was carrying, put it beside them, and then left without saying anything.

Not long after walking, a rickshaw suddenly pulled up beside her.The middle-aged master smiled and said, "Miss, it's not safe to be alone at night, I'll see you off in the car."

She thinks it makes sense. There have been frequent wars recently, and it is really dangerous for a girl to walk at night.So he smiled, got into the car, and after reporting the destination, the master pulled the car.

On the way, Chai Yuluo kept her eyes closed and meditated, but she was still guessing why Huangfuchu donated to the orphanage in her name.

After the rickshaw ran like this for a while, the master suddenly said, "Miss, we're here."

But when she opened her eyes, the environment in front of her was extremely desolate, there was not even a single house in the dark surroundings, it was far from the Commander's Mansion she wanted to return to.Her heart tightened, and then the rickshaw driver smiled and said to her: "Miss, you don't have to be afraid, I won't hurt your life, I just want to borrow some money from you."

She got out of the car and wanted to run, but the man grabbed her wrist and said sharply: "Do you really want money or life?"

Chai Yuluo was taken aback, and said blankly, "You have found the wrong person, I have no money at all."

He snorted coldly, and said disapprovingly: "Stop pretending, I heard all the conversation you had just now in front of the orphanage. Since you have money to donate to orphans, what's the point of lending me some money?"

Chai Yuluo's heart turned cold. This man really has been hiding for a long time. He must have overheard her conversation with the dean from the very beginning and mistook him for a wealthy daughter.

Before she had time to explain, she heard the man suddenly smiled wretchedly and said, "If you really don't want to take the money, you can play with me." He raised her chin with his hand, and said, "What a skinny girl!" Tender beauty."

Chai Yuluo dodged his hand, sneered suddenly after thinking about it, and said, "I think you are tired of work. If you dare to touch me, you will definitely die. If you just want money, let me write a letter. Send the letter home, and someone will give you the money."

She wanted to intimidate him as much as possible, while delaying time and seeking a way out.

The man was really overwhelmed by her, and felt a little guilty, but he still pretended to be calm and threatened: "Okay. But don't play tricks with me, or I can do anything."
