Chapter 381, the past
Qi Wenjun wiped his tears.
Jiang Li also fell into a brief silence, not knowing what to say for a while.
This was probably a little different from the "family recognition" scenes she had seen in the orphanage.
When I was in the orphanage.
Some children have also found their families.
However, the family either has a new life and is unwilling to accept a child who has been missing for many years into the family.
Either the child was abandoned by his parents in the first place, and even if the biological parents were found, the other party had no intention of taking the child back.
Such examples abound in Lantian Welfare Home.
Jiang Li is used to this kind of scene.
In the welfare home.
Compared with children who do not know their identities, those children who found their biological parents but were abandoned for the second time are undoubtedly the most pitiable.
So Jiang Li has never planned to look for her parents again.
She had implicitly accepted that she had been abandoned by her parents. After seeing the conditions of other children in the orphanage, she naturally did not want to experience the feeling of being abandoned by her parents for the second time.
"Pear..."
Qi Wenjun's voice trembled, and he tentatively reached out to hold Jiang Li's hand.
Jiang Li did not refuse, nor did he stop. He was just in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Li Li, I know that the Jingcheng family has many rules. It doesn't matter if you don't want to come back. As long as you can come back to accompany us as often as before, we will be satisfied..."
Qi Wenjun said softly.
As if he was afraid that if his voice was too loud, the girl in front of him would get up and leave.
"I……"
Jiang Li started to speak but stopped.
Her heart was in a mess now, and she had an indescribable feeling.
There is no such joy as finding her biological parents. After all, she has no longer expected her biological parents.
But there is still some joy in my heart.
At least his parents did not abandon him back then, at least they have been looking for him for twenty years.
At least... I won't be abandoned by my biological parents for the second time like other children in Lantian Welfare Institute.
"Riri, it's okay."
Qi Wenjun took Jiang Li's hand and tried to keep his trembling voice calm: "No matter what decision you make, we will support you, as long as you don't leave us again..."
"I...I want to be quiet for a while."
Jiang Li took a deep breath, picked up the iced American in front of him and took a big sip. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Qi Wenjun stopped talking and waited quietly.
He just held Jiang Li's hand tightly, refusing to let go even a little bit, as if as long as he let go, the daughter he finally found would disappear again.
After a while.
Jiang Li then said to herself, "Actually, I tried to find you two years before I went to the orphanage."
"I thought you had abandoned me, so I searched the entire Tong County for several days, trying to find out why you abandoned me."
"Later, I gradually got used to life in the orphanage. Everyone was very kind to me, but I still couldn't help but want to find you because I didn't want to become what other classmates called "the unwanted child."
"Riri, I'm sorry."
Qi Wenjun held Jiang Li's hand, tears welling up in his eyes.
Jiang Li, however, was minding his own business and continued: "A few years later, a child in the orphanage found his parents. The boss of a shoe factory in Tong County came to the orphanage to do charity, and by the way, he took care of the child.
Found my parents."
"I was so envious at that time, and I also wanted that uncle to help me look for you too."
"But later, the child returned to the orphanage. The mother said that her parents already had their own family and gave birth to a son, so they kicked the girl out again."...
"She had no place to go, so she had to go back to the orphanage."
"That girl used to have a very good relationship with me, and we would play together in the yard. But after that, she became very silent, always shutting herself in her room alone, and often going days and nights without eating.
"
"She disappeared in the end. I don't know if she ran back to look for her parents."
"..."
Jiang Li spoke calmly and calmly, but tears kept falling down her cheeks.
"I didn't want to be like that, so I gradually stopped looking for you."
"Maybe I think as long as I don't have high hopes, I won't be disappointed."
"So later on, I started working part-time during my free time in school, trying to make money to help my mother take care of my younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage."
"At that time, I had already planned my future life. I would stay in the orphanage for the rest of my life, support my child mother in her old age, and then take over her duties. I would never marry again."
"Later, the child's mother's health deteriorated day by day. When she was in college, she had to take a lot of medicine every day."
"But she always saves money. She said she would save the medicine money to pay for my college tuition."
"So when I was in college, I worked hard part-time to make money, hoping to make the lives of child mothers and children in orphanages better."
"But the child mother is still gone..."
"When I entered the entertainment industry after graduation and started filming, I actually gave up all hope for my biological parents. After all, I can already support myself and I am very satisfied with the current situation."
"So when Brother Mingyi said that he could help me find a family, I immediately refused."
"Because I don't think it's necessary. After all, we've been here for so many years. Everyone has their own life. Why should I bother others' new lives..."
"No!"
Qi Wenjun interrupted: "That's not true, Lili, we have been looking for you, and Mingyi and I have also been looking for you."
"You disappeared after going to the amusement park with him back then. Although he never said anything over the years, we all know that he has always felt guilty."
"You will never disturb us because we are a family and we are already waiting for you to come back..."
Outside the courtyard.
Jiang Li looked at Qi Wenjun with tears on his face.
Before this, she had probably never imagined that the matron of the Jiang family, one of the four major aristocratic families in the capital, would cry like this and cry so distressedly.
Jiang Li fell silent.
For a moment she didn't know what else to say.
She had thought that if one day she met her biological parents, she would definitely not cry, but would calmly ask them why they abandoned her.
After getting the answer.
It's enough to leave the other person with a chic back view of turning around and leaving.
But now when she saw Qi Wenjun crying with tears all over her face, she suddenly couldn't bear it any longer and felt a throbbing pain in her heart.
During this time.
She could feel the love and pampering given to her by Qi Wenjun and Jiang Fu, who were even more kind to her than their two sons, Jiang Mingyi and Jiang Mingxuan.
"Riri, would you like to go home with me?"
"I……"
