System [I am in a horror dungeon]

Chapter 214: Hypocritical couple, biological daughter

Both of them were wearing designer clothes that were worth a lot of money, but their attitude of looking down on others was extremely unpleasant.

And that contemptuous tone, it's clear they are uneducated and have no manners at all, but there's nothing we can do about it. They are workers now, so we can only put up with it.

Accompanying the two to the door of the room where the children were free to play, the couple kept picking and choosing among the children.

Zhu An looked at them impatiently and spoke to Fang Huizhi in a low voice, "It seems like they are here to pick out goods instead of adopting a child."

When Lu Nanyin looked at the couple, she remembered the same expression on the housekeeper's face when he came to see her. However, the housekeeper at least looked respectful. But these two people, both in their faces and in their eyes, showed undisguised disgust.

Several people guessed their origins, but why did they come to this welfare home to adopt a child?

Zheng Jie checked the relevant news of this world and found out the identities of the two people.

The two were wealthy people in the city, but they had no children. Over time, some bad rumors began to spread.

The news was all about the scandal between the two. The media said that the couple had separate affairs, so they had no children. Some also said that they had played around with other women and contracted certain diseases, so they had no children. In short, there were all kinds of rumors, and the people who read them were shocked again and again.

A few people probably knew their purpose, which was to adopt a child, suppress the rumors, and gain a good reputation.

Lu Nanyin looked at the couple. It should be certain that they would use the child to suppress the rumors, but it was implied that it would not give them a good reputation. If they took the child back and ignored him, and the media found out, it would be more hurtful than the rumors.

They would not fail to think of this, but they came anyway. Why?

Zhu An always felt something was awkward when watching the couple getting along. Some of the woman's actions were inappropriate, which made people feel uneasy. How to describe this feeling? It was like... it was like a rich man taking his lover shopping and the lover acting coquettishly with the man.

Wait, lovers! Looking at the "couple", their relationship was indeed not like that of an ordinary couple, but they were also unable to confirm whether they were a couple.

Zhu An pulled Lu Nanyin's sleeve and said, "Don't you think that the relationship between the two of them is more like lovers than husband and wife?"

Lu Nanyin also felt that the two of them gave her a very strange feeling, but after hearing what Zhu An said, some of their actions and behaviors seemed to make sense.

Zheng Jie and Fang Huizhi also heard what the two said. Zhu An did not intend to hide it from the other two. If everyone understood them from their own perspective, they would know more. Why hide?

Zheng Jie continued reading the news and learned from the man’s scandal about someone who looked very similar to the woman.

I showed the photo to the other three people and compared it with the girl. They looked about 70% alike.

Moreover, the angle of the photo was obviously taken secretly, so it will be a little out of focus, so the two people are most likely the same person.

Several people wrote down the woman's name - Wang Suyi.

Then the two separated. Wang Suyi watched the man leave. Her smile disappeared instantly. She looked in the direction the man left with resentment, as if she wanted to kill him.

Lu Nanyin had been following the dean and the man upstairs. When she turned the corner, she caught a glimpse of her eyes and became even more confused. What was the relationship between the two?

Lu Nanyin found an excuse to go downstairs and brought Wang Suyi to the yard, where there were also a few children playing games.

Wang Suyi suddenly asked: "Do you have a child named Xiaoan here?"

"Xiao An, Ms. Wang, she was injured yesterday and should be in the infirmary now, so..."

Wang Suyi's eyes were filled with concern and her tone was anxious: "Xiao An is injured? Is it serious? Can I go and take a look?"

Lu Nanyin shook her head: "I have to ask the dean about this, Ms. Wang, why don't you wait here for a while, I'll come over after asking the dean, please wait."

Wang Suyi nodded, and watched Lu Nanyin leave, then she realized that she had just called herself Ms. Wang, did she know something? But now she was thinking about Xiao An, hoping that she would be safe.

Lu Nanyin asked the dean and after getting permission, she took Wang Suyi to the infirmary.

Looking at Xiao An lying unconscious on the hospital bed, Wang Suyi's heart ached and she kept asking Lu Nanyin about Xiao An's condition.

Lu Nanyin answered her again and again that Xiao An was fine and she was fine.

After a while, Zhu An came to them and said that she was going to find the man to decide which child to adopt.

Wang Suyi looked at Xiao An on the hospital bed and asked them, "When can Xiao An wake up?"

“We can’t be sure about this.”

Wang Suyi thought for a while and seemed to have made up her mind, "Can I choose Xiaoan?"

Zhu An was a little surprised. Was this the decision she made?

Wang Suyi walked over to the man, changed her distant look, gently shook the man's hand, acted coquettishly with him, and asked him to adopt Xiao An.

The man was so pleased with her that he agreed without hesitation and went to sign the agreement with the head teacher.

Lu Nanyin walked up to Wang Suyi and asked with a smile, "Ms. Wang, have you decided? Is it definitely Xiaoan?"

Wang Suyi looked at her and smiled: "Of course, it has to be her."

"Okay, but the orphanage has some adoption requirements, please comply with them."

Lu Nanyin handed the agreement that the dean had just given her to Wang Suyi and asked her to read it carefully and sign it.

After Wang Suyi carefully reviewed the agreement, she told Lu Nanyin: "Don't worry, I will definitely do these things and do them better. From now on, she is my child."

She said the last sentence very solemnly. It was not only a promise to everyone in the welfare home, but also a recognition of her own efforts over the years.

Everyone around looked at her with a smile. After the man signed the agreement and came out, Wang Suyi walked up to him, took his arm and left.

After a few days, when Xiao An's condition stabilizes, they will come to take Xiao An home.

The four of them took advantage of this time to get together, share the news about the "couple", and try to complete their task.

Zheng Jie told them the latest news he had read, "The news said that the man was actually an illegitimate child of a large family and was not recognized by the family. However, when he was in school, he found a daughter of another large family and slowly took her property into his own pocket. Then the daughter disappeared."

"Gone? Killed by him?"

Zheng Jie shook his head. "It's very likely, but there's no evidence to prove it. These are just our guesses."

Lu Nanyin speculated, "Could Xiao An be her biological daughter? I asked the director about Xiao An's background. Five years ago, someone left her at the door of the welfare home. It also matches the time when the rich girl in the news disappeared."
