After being abandoned by my parents, I became a top boss

After driving about seven or eight hundred meters, the car stopped in front of an ancient castle.

The castle is very large, measuring several hundred meters in length and width. The entire facade of the castle is made of gray stone bricks, and the top of the castle is dark blue.

In the middle of the castle is the square main castle with a very wide gate and on both sides are six huge conical corner towers, narrow windows, and semicircular arches. The whole castle exudes an ancient atmosphere, as if it has many years of history.

Following Li Chen, I walked in. Although the interior decoration was luxurious, it was not tacky, and even had a sense of high-end and solemnity.

This was the first time she had seen such a luxurious house. Stepping in here felt like entering a palace.

There were various murals hanging on the walls. She roughly counted them and found there were six or seven.

The walls are decorated with carvings, and right in the front there is a reception room that can accommodate twenty to thirty people, with an ivory tower coffee table and sofa, a beautiful chandelier, black and gold floor tiles...everything exudes luxury.

She couldn't imagine how stunningly charming the person living there must be.

As she was thinking this, she saw an old man in a Tang suit with a kind face walking down the spiral staircase.

The appearance was somewhat different from what she had imagined, but the temperament was exactly the same, and even three points better.

He exudes an air of erudition and wide knowledge, which makes people inexplicably respect him.

Looking at his straight posture as he walked down the stairs and his black hair, if it weren't for the clearly visible wrinkles on his face, the girl would probably have recognized him as her uncle.

After all, if it weren't for those wrinkles, he would look no more than fifty years old. Current estimates put him at around sixty.

Her eyes followed his movements down the stairs slowly, until he came closer, then she looked away.

The old man saw through it but didn't say anything. He just greeted Li Chen and asked, "How long do you plan to stay this time?"

As he spoke, he walked forward a few steps and sat on the sofa. He then pointed to the sofa on the other side and said, "You're welcome. It's like being at home here."

Li Chen smiled implicitly and walked towards the sofa while speaking, "I came back this time just to do some things. Once I'm done, I'll go back naturally."

After he finished speaking, he found that the girl did not follow him, so he waved at her again. The girl then hurried forward and sat next to him.

Mr. Lu saw all of this, and after a while, he said, "I already have a general understanding of the situation. I owe you a favor, and I just took this opportunity to repay it. From now on, I won't owe you anything."

"Mr. Lu is joking. I didn't take that incident seriously at all, and I never thought of asking you to pay it back."

Mr. Lu raised his hand and said, "Let's put it this way. If you don't want me to do it, it's still your business. But I, Lu, am most afraid of owing people things, especially favors. I've paid it back this time, and it's also a relief for me."

The two chatted for a while, and the girl sat beside them and listened. She knew that Li Chen wanted to keep her here.

Although they didn't mention her at all, she heard the implied meaning of their words clearly.

Li Chen used the favor the old woman owed him to find her a home. Just as he had promised, he really found her a home.

When it really came to this, she felt a sense of loss.

Because soon, she will be separated from Li Chen.

After the separation, he would return to Yangcheng, he said so himself.

Thinking of this, the girl felt even more lost and reluctant.

Perhaps because she had been trafficked in various ways for so many years, her mind was always much more agile than her peers, and she had a stronger sense of perception of things.

She lowered her brows and picked at her fingers. At this moment, she really wanted to ask Li Chen to take her away. She didn't want to stay here. She just wanted to stay with him.

But she couldn't open her mouth. She had no right to do so. Li Chen had already helped her a lot.

From her initial fear of human nature and resistance to anyone wearing army green clothes, she has now slowly been able to accept these people.

All this is because of Li Chen.

Because of Li Chen, she regained her trust in people's hearts and understood that not all people are bad.

It was Li Chen who cured her, so she really couldn't ask for anything more, and she couldn't drag him down anymore.

Just as she was thinking deeply, she was interrupted by Li Chen's voice, "Girl, go play outside for a while. I have something to say to Mr. Lu alone."

Looking up and meeting Li Chen's eyes, the girl nodded calmly, then stood up and walked towards the door.

Only after watching her walk out of the door did Li Chen retract his gaze and look at Mr. Lu, "This girl is usually dull, doesn't like to talk, and is slow to warm up. Please be tolerant of her in the future."

"If she does something wrong and makes you unhappy, don't hit her, don't scold her, and don't ignore her..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Lu snorted, "Do I look like someone who would hit a child?"

Li Chen shook his head. "No, I'm just afraid. After all, this girl has suffered too much in the past and has been abused by too many people. I can't say nothing. Even though I know you won't beat a child, I still want to say these words. Only in this way can I go back to Yangcheng with peace of mind."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu's eyes paused slightly, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

He was not completely unmoved by what Li Chen had just said. From the gloomy tone in Li Chen's voice and the fact that he already had some understanding of the girl's situation, he originally just felt sorry for her, but now he felt a little distressed.

But he thought so in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just glanced at Li Chen and said unhappily, "You are the only one who is troublesome. How narrow-minded must I be to get angry with a little girl?"

"Don't worry, go back to Yangcheng. I will raise this child until he is plump and white. Look at him now. He looks like a bean sprout."

The metaphor of bean sprouts is absolutely correct.

Look at this little girl now, with dry yellow hair, sallow face, and less than 1.2 meters tall. To call her a bean sprout is a bit of an exaggeration for her.

Old Master Lu was very satisfied with his own analogy, and thought to himself, just wait, as long as she enters the Lu family, he will definitely raise this little bean sprout to be plump and white.

Then we’ll see how Li Chen can open his mouth and say that he would beat the child.

Although he later explained his words, Lu has always held a grudge. No matter whether it is right or wrong, he said it himself, so there is no point in explaining!

He was just waiting to raise the girl to be plump and white, and then he would give Li Chen a slap in the face.

Wait... girl?

Thinking of this, one of his eyebrows slightly raised, "I always hear you call her a girl, so what is her full name?"

"She doesn't have a full name, and I don't know her name, so I call her girl."

"Girl, what kind of name is that? When she enters my Lu family and becomes my Lu Shizhan's granddaughter, I will give her a name."

Li Chen looked at Mr. Lu who was grinning from ear to ear, and his uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

In fact, the reason why he planned to hand the little girl over to the Lu family for raising was not only because of the Lu family’s power, but also because he trusted Mr. Lu’s character.
