Chapter 246 - Beautiful Women Are Dangerous (2)
When Su Xiaofei met Si Yuxuan face to face, she wasn't surprised that the woman cowered in fear and immediately sought the Director for help. Si Yuxuan was looking at her and Lu Qingfeng with fear in her eyes, as if she was afraid that they would hurt her.
"It's okay, darling. They came to see you." Director Qu hushed Si Yuxuan and rubbed her back in an attempt to calm her down.
Su Xiaofei didn't fail to notice some scratches on Si Yuxuan's neck and arms, and wondered if she was bullied in this place. She couldn't help but feel perplexed. Although she only came here to use Si Yuxuan against her older brother, she couldn't turn a blind eye when the goods were spoiled by someone else.
Si Yuxuan was a few years older than Su Xiaofei, but her mental age was like that of a seven-year-old kid who was forgotten by her parents and loved ones. She was skinny, which was emphasized by the baggy clothes that clearly didn't belong to her.
"Director Qu, did Si Yuxuan do this to herself?" She gestured to the scratches Si Yuxuan had.
The older woman was caught off guard by her question, and she hesitated to give her an answer for a moment.
"E-en, Yuxuan needs some special care and attention. Since she returned from the previous family that was supposed to adopt her, she often sits alone and could be found mumbling incoherent things to herself. There are also times when she would hurt herself without a reason, but rest assured that we don't leave her on her own and always have someone to accompany her. Her personality is good though, and everyone here likes her." Director Qu explained.
"I see." Su Xiaofei had no words to say at all. She could only hope that Si Yixian won't turn his back on his little sister now that she was found.
"If she was truly the sister your friend is looking for, I hope that he would take good care of her."
"Of course, Director Qu. We'll cooperate with you until Si Yuxuan is ready to go home with her brother."
After that, Su Xiaofei requested to take a photo of Si Yuxuan before leaving with Lu Qingfeng. As the car drove away from the orphanage, Su Xiaofei thought that she was lucky compared to Si Yuxuan. Had Yun Qingrong not found her and adopted her, she was sure that she would also lead a similar life to Si Yuxuan's current one.
Unwanted and forgotten. Was this what was waiting for children who were abandoned by their parents?
"Xiaofei, you aren't alone. You have me, Aunty Qing and Xi Qian. You are worrying too much." Lu Qingfeng patted her hand before giving it a light squeeze to remind her that she wasn't anything like Si Yuxuan at all.
Su Xiaofei gave him a weak smile and turned her gaze away from her. She didn't know how Lu Qingfeng knew what she was thinking, but she was thankful that he was here with her.
Right. She wasn't alone anymore. Her mother and Xi Qian were still alive, and Lu Qingfeng hadn't fallen into a coma and lost himself. Wasn't this enough proof that she wasn't left on her own again?
"Xiao Feng, I have a secret to tell you." She said in a low voice, which made Lu Qingfeng stiffen on his seat.
He wasn't sure which ones she was going to confess, but he had to brace himself for it.
"Are you sure you want to tell me this?" He questioned her.
"Didn't you say that you can be my tree hole? That you are willing to keep my secrets till the end?" She retorted.
Lu Qingfeng eyed her for a moment before nodding in agreement. He did tell her that before and he was surprised that she was able to remember it now.
Su Xiaofei used to have a short span of attention when it came to trivial things and could forget a lot of it. Didn't she also forget the promise to marry? The very one they made when they were younger.
"Alright. Then what do you want to share with me?"
"Xiao Feng, I'm not really my Mama's daughter. She adopted me when she visited an orphanage Bluemedia was supporting before. I wonder if she hadn't found me, would I live in the same place and be in the same shoes as Si Yuxuan."
Lu Qingfeng remained silent for a moment. He was already aware of Su Xiaofei's real identity, and he wasn't bothered by it one bit. Even if she was a daughter of a poor farmer or a commoner, as long as her soul and heart remained the same, then he knew that he would fall in love with her all over again.
"I doubt it." He finally answered her. "Knowing your personality, I know that you won't allow yourself to be kept in such a place for too long. You would surely find a way to attract couples who wanted to adopt a kid."
"If I was in an orphanage, I would surely lose to the cutest and most adorable child around. Wouldn't it be safer to stay at the orphanage than to leave with a new set of parents, making a fool out of yourself and pretending to be something you are not?"
"You are pretty and smart. I don't believe that anyone would be able to ignore you." Lu Qingfeng countered her. "Anyway, does it bother you to know that you are adopted by Aunty Qing? Do you feel less loved just because you aren't her real child?"
"No." Su Xiaofei answered him. "More than anything, I am grateful that I became Yun Qingrong's daughter. I couldn't ask for a better mother than her."
Compared to Bai Qingyue, Yun Qingrong, who had never been able to conceive a child, had the qualities of a good mother.. For this, Su Xiaofei would be forever grateful to Yun Qingrong.
