Bow to tempt the peach

When Zhou Yao saw these four words, he almost collapsed on the sofa with laughter.

She replied matter-of-factly: [I agree. 】

Who would have thought that Liang Yansheng, who often relied on them for financial support, would now become the most wealthy among them.

……

Xu Youtao quickly arrived at Liang Yansheng's apartment. Different from the old community where she rented, this place was full of modern high-rise buildings.

The house that Liang Yansheng bought is a large flat-story house with two rooms on one staircase, more than 100 square meters, and has four rooms inside.

Xu Youtao's eyes turned red when she saw it, and she felt more and more that the place she rented was too cramped.

She drank her drink, filled with resentment, "Today is another day of hatred against the rich."

Zhou Yao: "Sooner or later, you will rob the rich and give to the poor."

Liang Yansheng had long been accustomed to strange things, and calmly packed his things, going in and out of his left ear.

Zhou Yao suddenly said, "Dayan, I have a good idea."

Liang Yan said: "?"

Zhou Yao: "Anyway, since you are so rich, you can change your gender, and then Xiaotao and I will move in with you."

"Lest a house as big as yours remain empty and resources be wasted."

The room was silent for a second. Xu Youtao looked at Liang Yansheng and nodded in agreement.

Liang Yan sneered angrily, "There's another way. I'll pay for you two to have a sex change."

What responded to him was the rag thrown at him by Xu Youtao and Zhou Yao.
-
It was already an hour later when Lu Chenyan drove to the sanatorium on the outskirts of the city.

The nursing home was quiet. Most of the elderly had already rested, and only a few rooms still had lights on.

The nurse in blue uniform led him inside respectfully, explaining all the way.

"Dean Huang has been in good spirits these days. She was fine during the day. But when she came back from a walk with her after dinner at night, she refused to sleep. She must see you."

The Director Huang she mentioned was not the director of this nursing home, but the director of a welfare home in a small county not far from Shanghai.

The coldness on Lu Chenyan's body did not dissipate, and he kept a sullen face all the way until he reached the door of a room. When the nurse opened the door, he quietly adjusted his expression.

The room was not large, but it was very warmly decorated inside. There were two beds, one large and one small, near the window. On the large bed, an old lady with gray hair and a serious face was sitting.

Lu Chenyan's coldness disappeared, replaced by a gentle and approachable temperament.

He slowly walked to the big bed, squatted down, and looked directly at the old man, "Dean, I'm here."

Huang Aijuan's serious face suddenly turned blank, her eyes were cloudy, and when she opened her mouth, she spoke in a kind voice, "You...which child are you?"

Lu Chenyan held her hand, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed a nice smile, "I'm Xiao Shen."

"Xiao Shen... Xiao Shen." Huang Aijuan read it carefully twice, as if she still hadn't remembered it. In the end, she could only smile apologetically, "I am old and my memory is not good."

"You must be a good boy."

"The children who come out of our orphanage are all good children."

Lu Chenyan fell silent, and through the old man's old face, time seemed to go back 20 years ago.

That year, he had just turned ten.

An alcoholic and domestically violent man and a weak and pale woman died in a fire overnight. He became an orphan whose relatives were unwilling to take over and was sent to an orphanage.

He also changed his name from Lu Yan to Lu Chenyan and began to live in an orphanage for eight years.

The orphanage was much better than his original home. At least he was well fed, clothed and warm without being beaten.

"Xiao Chen?" Huang Aijuan woke up and interrupted Lu Chenyan's memories.

He raised the corners of his lips and called out a title he hadn't said in a long time, "Mama Huang." "Hey." The wrinkles on Huang Aijuan's smiling face became clearer, "Good boy."

"Xiao Shen, you're on your way."

She looked around, and the sober look on her face gradually turned into confusion, and finally she fell into a dazed state.

Disappointment flashed in Lu Chenyan's eyes.

Upon seeing this, the nurse quickly said: "It's good that Dean Huang can wake up for a while."

Two years ago, Huang Aijuan contracted Alzheimer's disease and was no longer qualified to work in the welfare home, so she was taken to the nursing home here by Lu Chenyan.

Huang Aijuan is only in her early sixties this year. The heavy workload over the years, coupled with the constant worry and planning for the children in the orphanage, has made her physically and mentally exhausted.

Lu Chenyan listened quietly to the nurse's words without any reaction. People outside always commented that he was cruel and ruthless, and before meeting Xu Youtao, the old man in front of him was the only one who could make him soften his heart.

Huang Aijuan pulled Lu Chenyan's hand and murmured, "Lu Yan is a bad name. He is too violent. From now on, he will be called Lu Chenyan. Shen is disgusted. Our little Shen is a lovable and good boy."

Lu Chenyan's eyes were filled with emotions, and he replied hoarsely, "Okay."

The old man fell into chaotic memories, "Xiao Shen, don't keep fighting."

"Xiao Shen, don't skip class and go to the construction site to move bricks. You go to school well. I will figure out the tuition."

"Xiao Shen, you have to go to college. Only after you go to college can you have hope."

A small sound fell on Lu Chen's heart like a heavy hammer, making him feel powerless again.

Even though he had a lot of money, he still couldn't cure the old man in front of him who had devoted his whole life to the welfare home.

Huang Aijuan continued to talk, "Xiao Shen, go to college and find a good girl. After you get married, you will have a family."

"Xiao Shen, you are already 25, why are you still alone?"

"Xiao Shen..."

Lu Chenyan interrupted her, "Dean, I met that girl."

There was a smile in his voice, "I just love to lie."

Huang Aijuan's mind was not clear, and she kept telling Lu Chenyan to find a girlfriend quickly.

He promised seriously over and over again, "I will bring her to see you."

He paused and said, "She was also the girl you liked very much back then."

Five years ago, when Xu Youtao was still a college student, she went to the welfare home to do a charity mural project. At that time, Huang Aijuan was full of praise for her.

But his career had just gotten on the right track, and when he returned to his hometown to visit the orphanage, Huang Aijuan held her hand and said that he would find a beautiful and capable girlfriend like Xu Youtao in the future.

At that time, he was stunned for a moment by Xu Youtao's face and felt that she might have chosen the wrong industry.

But I didn’t expect that we would meet again after going around in circles.

The tenderness in Lu Chenyan's brows and eyes made the nurse beside him speechless. He decided not to slack off in the future and had to serve Director Huang well.

"Mr. Lu." The nurse whispered, "It's almost time."

"Dean Huang's condition has improved a lot. It's time to go to bed."

Lu Chenyan sighed, stood up, and slowly let go of the old man's hand.

Huang Aijuan knew nothing and was still talking about all the things "Xiao Shen" had done in her memory. She had no idea that the real person was standing in front of her.

Lu Chenyan watched her being put to bed before leaving the nursing home.

Before driving away, he couldn't help but call Xu Youtao's number.
