Seeing the two of them look over, the directress first sighed and ate a mouthful of mushroom scrambled eggs before saying, “Let’s talk while eating.”
Xiang Huai nodded.
Xue Xi also ate two mouthfuls.
However, the two of them were still staring at her. The directress had no choice but to say, “Actually, when we accepted Xixi back then, she had been left here.”
“By whom?”
Xiang Huai reacted quickly and asked a follow-up question.
The directress shook her head. “I don’t know by whom. It was probably 19 years ago. There was a day when it was raining heavily. At that time, I was still a teacher in the orphanage and was on night duty. When I heard the sound of a child crying outside, I opened the door and saw a sneaky figure running away. Xixi was left outside the door, but she was wrapped very well and did not get drenched in the rain. It could be seen that that person had been very careful and did their best for you.”
As she spoke, she turned to look at Xue Xi. “After I picked you up, I realized that the blanket you were wrapped in was of very good quality. Moreover, your name and date of birth were inside. I immediately called the police, but at that time, there were no surveillance cameras installed at the entrance of the orphanage. The surroundings were also relatively desolate. The police searched for a long time but could not find who’d left you here. In the end, they decided to leave you in the orphanage.”
The directress sighed. “But later, I gradually realized that you’re different.”
Xue Xi hesitated. “In what way?”
The directress said, “When we brought you into the orphanage, you had with you some milk powder, diapers, and other necessities. Moreover, they were all from big brands. We thought that they might have been left behind by your biological parents, so we gave them to you. But we’d worried that after you’d finished that brand of milk powder, you won’t be able to drink anything else. In the end, before that milk powder ran out, someone anonymously donated a batch of resources to the orphanage.”
The directress continued, “That person had anonymously donated and contacted us online, and they said that those donations were only allowed to be used and not sold. I didn’t think much of it back then. It was only after the milk powder and diapers arrived that I realized that they were the same brand as yours. I understood then that that person must have done it because of you.”
Xue Xi widened her eyes. “Do you still have that person’s contact details?”
The directress smiled bitterly. “It’s long gone. At first, I didn’t think much of it. I just thought that since the items were meant to be used, we had to use them all. Later, I got used to it. One morning, I turned on my computer and realized that the email that that person had sent me had long disappeared. Moreover, that person’s email address had already been deleted.”
Xue Xi thought about it. “Is that person no longer in contact with you?”
The directress nodded. “Yes. Since the month you left the orphanage, that person has never sent anything again. I thought about it and guessed that the people who’d sent those items might have been your parents.”
Xue Xi: “?”
The directress frowned and explained her deduction. “Your parents must be from a wealthy family. I guess they could only send you here for some unknown reason, but they were worried, so they kept sending things over. When they came to fetch you, I actually sensed it, but I didn’t say much to you because I was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding between you and your parents.”
Xue Xi: “…”
The corners of her lips twitched.
Xiang Huai said, “That’s impossible.”
Xue Xi and the directress looked at him. The directress asked, “Why?”
Of course, it was because the Xue family could not afford such a huge sum!
After Xiang Huai found Xue Xi, he had already gotten Lu Chao to investigate this orphanage. The person who had sent the items had left no trace. They had not left behind any evidence. This was not something the Xue family could do.
They’d also looked into this directress, and there was no problem at all. Lu Chao had already investigated her background. She was just an ordinary staff member.
On the other hand—
Xiang Huai suddenly turned to look at Chef Fan. “When did Mr. Fan come here to work?”
That Mr. Fan was about 40 years old and looked very inconspicuous. When he heard this question, he smiled honestly, but the directress said, “He came when Xixi was one year old. At that time, Xixi could already eat, and Mr. Fan became our canteen’s chef.”
Upon hearing this, Xiang Huai smiled. “I see. Then when did Mr. Fan resign?”
The directress answered, “Last year, after Xixi left, the orphanage did not have enough supplies, so we let go of a few people. That was when Mr. Fan left.”
Xiang Huai nodded.
Mr. Fan smiled. “There’s also a soup available. I’ll go scoop some for you guys.”
After saying that, he walked toward the kitchen.
However, when he entered the kitchen, he closed the soup pot on the stove and sighed.
He had originally wanted to make something delicious for Xiao Xixi, but forget it.
At this thought, he turned around and walked out of the kitchen’s back door with ease. He headed straight for the back door of the orphanage. His footsteps were light as he easily opened the door. When he turned around, though, he saw the man in black with his arms crossed, looking down at him leisurely. “Mr. Fan, where are you going?”
