Chapter: 1521

Leaf Shen pushed open the door and saw Auntie Li sitting at a simple desk, flipping through a stack of files.

Auntie Li looked up at him, pushed up her glasses, and asked with a smile: "How did you get here? You didn't even give me a heads up before coming."

Leaf Shen smiled awkwardly: "Auntie Li, I came to see you because there's something I'd like to ask you about."

Auntie Li nodded and said with a smile: "Don't bother being polite, just say what's on your mind."

Leaf Shen walked in front of Auntie Li and sat down in the chair opposite her desk, looking at her hesitantly for a moment before asking: "Auntie Li, I came to see you because I want to ask about some details from when you brought me into the orphanage back then."

Auntie Li's expression flashed with a slight surprise, but soon recovered to its normal state as she said with a smile: "It's been over ten years since that happened, and Auntie Li may not be able to remember many details clearly. However, if there's something you want to know, I'll definitely tell you."

Leaf Shen wasn't an idiot; he didn't miss the subtle changes in Auntie Li's expression.

On the contrary, he inferred some problems from those subtle changes.

If Auntie Li had nothing to hide, she wouldn't have that kind of expression.

She must be hiding something, and her natural demeanor would only show up on the surface.

Therefore, he looked at Auntie Li and asked seriously: "Actually, I want to know - after I left the orphanage, did anyone ever come looking for me during those ten years?"

Li Auntie didn't hesitate to say: "No, there's never been one."

Leaf Shen furrowed his brows and asked again: "Really nothing at all?"

Li Auntie said confidently: "Really nothing at all."

"Untrue?" Leaf Shen looked at Li Auntie, helplessly sighed, and said with a sense of nostalgia: "Li Auntie, I grew up in front of you. This kindness, I will always remember, so when facing you, I won't prepare to lie about anything - what's on my mind, I'll tell you straight out."

By the time Leaf Shen finished speaking, Li Auntie's expression had become slightly flustered.

She realized that Leaf Shen this time had probably found out something.

But she didn't dare say so, and her heart was extremely tense.

Leaf Shen continued to say: "Li Auntie, I've heard that my father's close friend, who passed away when I was young, had come to Jinling to look for me multiple times, and even visited our Jinling Welfare Home more than once?"

Leaf Shen's question suddenly changed Li Auntie's expression!

She became nervous and uneasy all over!

Even in her dreams, she couldn't have thought that Leaf Shen would ask her this question.

So she said in a fluster: "This... this... I never heard about it if someone really came looking for you. It must be some misunderstanding."

Leaf Shen shook his head: "It's impossible to be a misunderstanding, and from my heart, I don't think I can accept that kind of explanation either."

As he said, he looked sincerely at Li Auntie and said: "Li Auntie, I didn't come to blame you. Just like how you saved my life and raised me for 10 years, if there's something hidden here, I Leaf Shen will definitely not hate you for it." JrNovels.com
