"Dean, do you know why my parents abandoned me in the first place? Kisawa asked.

"So that's what you're asking me about. Your father just came to pick you up and fund the home. I didn't say what caused you to abandon you in the first place. The dean replied. The dean thought that Kisawa was going to ask about Cortana.

"You didn't see them when they left me here, did you?" Kisawa continued.

"Yes, when I saw you at the gate of the orphanage, I didn't see your parents. You should have remembered it by then. The dean said.

"Ozawa, has something happened?" asked the dean.

"Oh, nothing. Dean, don't you have something to tell me? What's the matter?" Mu Ze didn't say the doubts in his heart, the doubts about his mother.

"It's about Cortana. Back then, you and your mother came back to look for Cortana, and Cortana was sure to have been picked up. The person who picked up Cortana claimed to be a friend of Cortana's parents and gave me a sum of money to keep it a secret. I thought Cortana's family was wealthy, and her parents didn't want anyone to know about it, and they felt that it was a shame for me not to reveal it. But then a woman came to the orphanage and told her exactly what she was wearing when Cortana was abandoned in the orphanage. She claims to be Cortana's mother. Her eagerness to see Cortana and her desperation when she learned that Cortana had been taken away made me think that the person who took Cortana in the first place was not a friend of Cortana's parents. This matter has been buried in my heart for many years, and you are here, and I can finally tell you today. The dean said slowly, and the more he talked, the more he lost his confidence.

After listening to the dean's words, Mu Ze began to ponder. Cortana wasn't taken away by her parents, who would take a sum of money to adopt her, and claimed to be a friend of her parents.

The dean saw that Mu Ze didn't speak, thinking that he was blaming himself for hiding the matter in the first place.

"Son, you must be blaming me in your heart. I thought I was hiding it for the money, but when I saw the person who came to pick up Cortana, he was so rich that he wouldn't cheat a child. I was genuinely happy for Cortana, but I didn't expect it to be like this. The dean said, a look of guilt on his face.

"Dean, I don't blame you, you didn't do anything wrong. It's just that I can't figure out what that person took Cortana for. Do you remember what that person looked like?" Mu Ze comforted when he saw the dean's guilty expression.

The man said his surname was Yuan, he wore sunglasses, and he had a clear scar on his chin. The dean recalled.

Mu Ze was shocked when he heard this. Don't......

The dean seemed to have thought of something again. "By the way, Cortana's mother left her address when she left. She missed her daughter so much that to comfort her, I told her that I would let Cortana know if she had any news. You go and see her mother, you two had such a good relationship at the time, go and comfort her. ”

"Well, I also wonder why these parents who abandon their children are so ruthless. Kisawa said.

The dean looked at Mu Ze and thought that he had some conflict with his family. "Come with me. ”

The dean took Kisawa to his office. The dean's office was no longer a janitor's room with only a bed and a wooden table. In the building of the welfare institute, there is an office belonging to the director. Although the room is very simple, there is also a separate desk with a computer on the table. There are a lot of materials in the bookcase next to it, and there are detailed information about the children. Whether it is the adoption of a child or the adoption of a child by someone else is well documented. It shows that the welfare home has become regularized.

The dean retrieved a piece of paper from the chest of drawers at his desk, which had turned yellowed.

The dean handed the paper to Kizawa. "That's Cortana's mother's address. ”

Kisawa took it, took a look, and folded it in half a few times and put it in his pocket.

The dean sent Mu Ze to the front yard, and happened to see two more people walking in at the gate of the welfare home. The two held each other as if they were a young couple. They also carried many things, large and small, in their hands.

When the dean saw the two of them, he said, "Aren't you two busy with work today? ”

"We're going to take a day off today, so we're not coming back to see you guys, and we're going to bring some food for the kids. The man spoke.

"Do you still recognize who this person is?" said the dean with a smile pointing at Mu Ze.

The man looked at Kisawa and shook his head. "I'm not impressed. ”

Mu Ze looked at the man in front of him, not much different from what he looked like when he was a child. "Zhao Zhu. Kisawa screamed.

Zhao Zhu was even more surprised when he heard Mu Ze call out his name. "Who are you? I can't really remember. Zhao Zhu scratched his head and smiled.

"This is Ozawa. The dean said at this time.

"It turned out to be Ozawa, and he didn't look like him when he was a child. I don't even recognize it. Zhao Zhu felt a little embarrassed after speaking, after all, he always found trouble with Mu Ze when he was a child.

Mu Ze thought in his heart: Zhao Zhu can often come back to visit the dean and the children, which shows that he knows how to be grateful. He's not bad, he's just a bully when he was a kid. So Mu Ze didn't want to worry about the past with him.

Mu Ze saw Zhao Zhu's embarrassment, so he spoke: "I was ignorant before, so let's go over the past." What are you doing now?"

Hearing Mu Ze's words, Zhao Zhu knew that Mu Ze had already ignored his previous suspicions, and he was obviously very happy.

"I'm now working as a contractor on the construction site, and I can still do decorating when I'm not working. Thanks to your father, all the children in the welfare home can go to school, and I went to school for a few years and found that I was not suitable for studying. I went down to the construction site, and after studying for a few years, I had a little culture, and slowly became a contractor. I have also made a little money in the past two years. Zhao Zhu and Mu Ze said. The expression on his face was as if he had seen a best friend for many years, and he said urgently.

Mu Ze understood that although Zhao Zhu said it was so easy, he must have suffered a lot.

"That's right, Ozawa. This is Xinjie, do you remember?" Zhao Zhu picked up the woman who was walking with him and said to Mu Ze.

"Xu Xinjie. Kisawa said.

"Yes, it's me. Ozawa, you remember me. Xu Xinjie said with a smile.

"Xinjie and I got married last year. Zhao Zhu said, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"Don't stand here and talk, it's noon, let's eat together." Let's talk at the dinner table. The dean spoke at this time.

Several people came to the dinner table, and a worker served a few dishes to everyone. But Mu Ze saw that the worker who cooked was not Mi's mother.

"Where's Mother Mi?" asked Kizawa.

Everyone had frustrated expressions when they heard Mu Ze's words.

"Mi's mother passed away eight years ago. Brain cancer. After Zhao Zhu finished speaking, he lowered his head to eat.

Mu Ze also bowed his head to eat. He had been eating heavily, and his grip on chopsticks was getting faster and faster.

Kisawa didn't know why he was doing this, as if he wanted to chew everything from the past.

"I'm done. Kisawa put down his chopsticks.

"Ozawa, why did you eat so fast? You can't be hungry, are you?" Zhao Zhu joked.

"You still have things to do, so let's go first. The dean said to Mu Ze.

"Well, I'll go first. Kisawa said.

"I hope you can forgive me, I don't want to cause sin in my heart again. The dean looked at Mu Ze's back and muttered unconsciously.
