Chapter 6: Auntie and He Are Old Acquaintances?
Just as I was worrying about this problem, suddenly, a figure appeared before my eyes. Ah, isn't that my landlady?! Haha, heaven is helping me! (Xue looked up at the sky and laughed loudly three times......!)
I ignored the two people behind me and rushed towards the aunt on the other side of the street, ready to give her a big hug!
"Auntie..." I shouted as I ran over. What a high response rate...
"Miss Han? What are you doing here?" Auntie turned her head and asked with some surprise.
"Auntie, no! Auntie, I'm lost. Can't find my way back home. Luckily I met you here!" I grabbed her hand and said excitedly. (Heaven rewards those who are kind...)
Aunt patted my hand and smiled: "Hehe, let's go back. You didn't come back yesterday, I was worried for a long time! Now that I see you're fine, I can rest assured."
I nodded and was about to leave with Auntie when a voice called out to me, "Miss Han Xue Lian, wait a minute~~~"
I turned around and saw Yuan and Han Linhui behind us. Geez, I completely forgot about these two big guys! (What's wrong with your brain? How could you forget?)
I forced a couple of laughs and said, "No need for you guys to see me off. I've found my landlord."
Yu Gang was about to say something, but suddenly noticed that Han Linhui had a somewhat unusual expression. I also looked at him strangely.
Han Linhui looked at Auntie, as if recalling something. But Auntie kept evading his inquiring gaze.
What's going on? Do they know each other?
I was just about to ask when Han Linhui spoke up before me: "You... are Aunt Chen?"
The aunt had a moment of surprise, but immediately returned to normal. Her eyes were no longer evasive, and she said: "Yes... young master!"
Uh... My head is a bit dizzy. What's going on now? Young master? Who are they calling? Are they calling Han Lin Hui? Who can tell me what's going on here? Over there, Yuan was also looking at them with confusion...
At this time, Auntie pulled me and said something to Han Linhui, then we left first. Then she took me away.
Yuan thought of catching up to ask clearly, but was pulled back by Han Linhui.
Han Lin Hui shook his head and said to Yuan: "Yuan, I think that paper appraisal report is also needed. She is the daughter of me and Qian Chen!"
Looking at his back as he left with a puzzled expression...
"Let's go! I'll talk to you again when we get back..." Han Lin Hui turned his head and said a sentence to Yuan, who was still standing in place.
……
"Auntie, what's going on? Slow down." Poor me, I was dragged all the way back by Auntie, asking "what's going on" countless times, but she completely ignored me.
He dragged me all the way back to my place and locked the door after we went in.
What is she doing? I snuggle into the sofa and watch Big Aunt walking back and forth in front of me. Isn't she tired?
At last, after half an hour, I couldn't help but say: "Auntie, why don't you sit down for a while?"
She turned her head and looked at me, her eyebrows had been tightly furrowed since she saw Han Linhui. She closed her eyes, as if she had made up her mind, and sat down across from me.
"Hmm... She must want to tell me a long and drawn-out story. I also perked up, straightened my back, and looked at her with a serious face."
She still didn't speak after waiting for N times. Hmm, who has better endurance?
She beat me to it just as I was about to speak.
"Miss Han... actually, I used to be a nanny for the Han family." Auntie slowly spoke out the first sentence of the story.
The nanny of the Han family? How does she know my mother? I wanted to ask, but was stopped by her.
"Miss Han, please listen to me first... Your mother was the young mistress of the Han family. She was a kind person who never treated anyone harshly or made things difficult for us servants. I also helped raise your four sisters. Later, your mother left the Han family and not long after, I resigned from my position at the Han family as well. I knew that the young mistress was wronged, but she didn't say anything and left the Han family for the sake of the young master. At that time, she was already pregnant with you, which the Han family didn't know about, and neither did I until later... Over the years, I've tried to find the young mistress many times, but couldn't. The young master also looked for her after the old master passed away, but couldn't find her either. We didn't know where she went... Until a year ago, when you were 15, the young mistress found me. I was really surprised that she still remembered me after all these years... She probably already knew about her health condition and was worried that no one would take care of you after she passed away, so she asked me to take care of you. She gave me your photo and some documents and told me to look out for you when you came to this city. I agreed... Later, when I heard the news of the young mistress's passing, I thought that you would come here looking for your father. Those few days, I was wandering around the entrance of the city, searching for you on the streets. When I saw you sitting by the road, I just felt a sense of familiarity and didn't dare to confirm it. Later, when I walked closer and compared your face with the photo, I confirmed that it was really you... After letting you rent my house, I've been thinking of ways to help you find a school. Yu Wu Ling is the only royal noble academy in H City, and it's also affiliated with the Han family. Originally, people like us couldn't enter Yu Wu Ling, but because I once saved a wealthy pregnant woman, they agreed to grant me one request as a thank you. So, I asked them to help you get into Yu Wu Ling. I thought that by studying there, you would receive better education and also have a higher chance of meeting your father... Hehe, didn't expect that you little girl would move so fast and already met the young master..." After finishing speaking, Auntie gently patted my head with one hand and wiped away her tears with the other.
So that's how it is! I was wondering at first, how Auntie managed to find such a good school for me... However...
"Auntie, Yuan Wuling is the academy here, so people around here should be very familiar with it! But yesterday, I asked many people and none of them knew where Yuan Wuling was! Ugh, I just thought of that driver who abandoned me yesterday... How infuriating!"
"This, actually I'm not very clear either. The location of Yu Wu Ling is indeed very mysterious, few people know it, especially for ordinary people like us, we don't even know where it is. Only the upper-class people are aware of it. Since you've already found Young Master, then I think he'll take you there!" Auntie had already regained her smiling expression.
Is that so? Can't understand it, just a school, why make such a mystery out of it? It's like a magic school or something!
"Although I've found him, he still doesn't recognize me! Today, he just took me to do a paternity test, and we have to wait for the results to know..." I looked defeated.
Auntie patted my shoulder understandingly: "It's okay, don't worry. Are you still afraid of making mistakes? I'm here as a witness, aren't I? Take a good rest now! You look tired too ~ I'll head back first."
I nodded and saw Auntie off. Sigh, I'm so tired. But I've found Dad! Hehe, Mom, did you see that?
I leaned against the sofa, staring at the ceiling, and gradually fell asleep.
A week later.
A knock at the door was heard, and immediately a person carrying some documents entered the office.
"Hui, the appraisal report is out, take a look!" Yuan placed the document on Han Lin Hui's office desk.
Han Linhui picked it up and flipped through it, then put it down. He stood up, took the suit jacket on one side, and went out the door.
"Yuan, let's go! Go pick up my daughter..."
Yuan chased after him, putting a hand on his shoulder and laughing: "Hui, you're so eager to see your little daughter? Haha, I'm saying, now that you have 5 daughters, each one is so beautiful. How about giving one of them to me as a wife? What do you think?"
Han Lin Hui turned his head, casting a sidelong glance at this unorthodox good friend of his: "Alright! If you can endure the torment of being bullied by them all day. I'll consider it carefully."
"Hmm... I think being single is pretty good too! Hehe, haha." Shan wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought of those little girls, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. How could he have forgotten their nature?
……
Before long, they arrived at the foot of a residential building.
"Hui, how did you know she lived here?" Yuan asked with a puzzled face.
"I've already investigated it long ago." Han Lin Hui expressionlessly walked upstairs.
Yu knew he was in the wrong and didn't say anything else.
He walked all the way to Han Xue Lian's doorstep and pressed the doorbell. Inside...
"Who is it? Disturbing people's dreams so early in the morning..." I crawled out of my bed, took a look at the alarm clock, and oh, it was already past 9. No school today, back to sleep.
The doorbell rang non-stop, I was furious and picked up a pillow to throw it out: "Who is it? Can't you let people sleep?" (It seems that our Snow Love Miss has a big temper in the morning...)
The door hadn't opened yet, but the sound had already come out. Two people outside the door simultaneously wiped away a bead of sweat on their foreheads.
Many minutes later, the door opened. I leaned against the door with my eyes closed and continued sleeping.
It feels like someone is shaking my shoulder. Who?
I opened my eyes and looked at the person in front of me, who's this? Wearing sunglasses at night, what's the point? (Xue Lian is still in a state of no one caring... ignoring!)
"Who are you?" I lazily asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Snow Love, wake up..." Han Lin Hui was patiently trying to wake someone up from their sleep.
Seems like Dad? Ah, yes, it's Dad! Suddenly, I opened my eyes wide. What? Dad? Am I mistaken? Am I still dreaming?! After rubbing my eyes and seeing the person in front of me clearly, my brain gradually returned to its working state.
I came back to myself and took two steps back, staring at him in surprise: "What are you doing here?"
Han Lin Hui smiled: "Daughter, Dad is here to take you home..."
