That evening, I led Jiaqi home.

Everything is back to the beginning, back to the beginning, back to the time when it was just me and Jiaqi.

That night, Jiaqi sat quietly on the bed in the bedroom, watching me quietly and silently. It was as if she felt the struggle and pain in my heart too.

I sat down at my desk and shifted with my face buried deep in my hands.

All night.

The next day is a Saturday and Sunday. During those two days, I stayed with Jiaqi and didn't go out.

Jiaqi is surprisingly well-behaved, and many times, she plays silently by herself and does not make a sound.

In the following week, because the college entrance examination is approaching, the school is temporarily open to students in the third year of high school, and they can freely enter and leave the school for meals every day.

Because of this, I can go home every day to take care of Jiaqi.

Throughout that week, Jiaqi never saw Aunt Bao Juan again, but stayed silently in the underground warehouse alone.

There was no one to take care of her, only toys to accompany her, and she cried every day in the underground warehouse, or in a silent daze.

Every night when I came home, I saw her huddled in the corner of the underground warehouse, hugging her knees, her black hair covering her little face, and she didn't say a word.

At that time, I felt deeply sorry for her.

But what can I do?

I'm really powerless.

I could only watch as Jiaqi lost day by day, and watched the money in my wallet decrease day by day.

Watch the days of not knowing the future go by day by day.

One day......

Another day......

And just like that, another week passed.

May 30th.

It's the last Saturday and Sunday of high school.

Because after June 6th, it is the day of the college entrance examination.

I'll never forget that day.

It was an evening and the sky was overcast.

Jiaqi and I stayed in the room, and she stared at the TV in a daze, listening to the crackling joy of the TV, without making a sound.

I sat on the edge of the bed and watched her silently.

Silently enjoying this may be the last time I spend with her.

After a week of hesitation, I finally made up my mind.

I'm going to send Jiaqi to an orphanage.

That's the only option I have.

The room was dark, with only the sound of the TV.

In the shadows, Jiaqi and I were silent.

Just then, the phone rang.

The silence was broken, and I stood up, walked to the bedside, and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey, hello. May I ask if you are Yang Jiandong?" was a middle-aged man's voice on the other end of the phone, with a hint of gentleness and eagerness in his voice.

"I am. May I ask ...... you?"

"Oh, yes. When I was having breakfast today, I happened to hear Bao Juan from that steamed bun shop say, you have a girl here who has no one to adopt, isn't that the case?"

I was taken aback by what the other party said. But I thought it was Aunt Bao Juan who told him these things. I understood what he was going to say next.

"Ah, yes. ”

"Alright, I have a request...... Excuse me, can you give that girl to me for adoption? I've always wanted a daughter. ”

To adopt Jiaqi.

These words caused an uproar in my heart.

"...... are you going to adopt? Wait, can you tell me your name first?"

"Hehe, I forgot to mention this, my surname is Chen, Chen Kaiye. ”

Chen Kaiye. The name is a bit familiar.

After thinking about it for a while, I remembered this famous name.

He is the richest local pharmaceutical company CEO, with a net worth of tens of millions.

The assets are far stronger than my dad, I don't know how many times.

At that moment, I suddenly knew that I was going to say goodbye to Jiaqi.

On the phone, I talked a lot with Mr. Chen, and he also asked me a lot about my family background, about how I picked up Jiaqi, and about Jiaqi's condition.

And Mr. Chen also promised that he would not call the police, and he also promised that if I was willing to adopt Jiaqi to him, the family would treat Jiaqi like their own children, and would help Jiaqi apply for a household registration, and would also let Jiaqi go to the best kindergarten, and in the future, he would also ensure that she would go to the best school and receive the highest education.

I was really shaken at that time.

Mr. Chen said a lot and assured a lot. He was very sincere and kind.

What's more, I was finally touched by his sincerity.

At that time, although I was still a little skeptical, I still planned to meet with him, see the specific situation, and then hand over Jiaqi to him.

“…… All right. If what you say is true, then tomorrow afternoon, make an appointment, and I will bring Jiaqi here. ”

Finally, I said this to Mr. Chen.

"Okay, tomorrow at 6 p.m., in the XX District of XX Road, it should be no problem, right?"

"Yes. Let's meet tomorrow. ”

When I hung up, the room was dark and my heart was pounding.

Looking at Jiaqi, who was still innocent and staring at the TV, I suddenly felt the urge to cry

If Mr. Chen's words are true, then I will lose her tomorrow.

"Kiki. I walked up to Jiaqi, looked at her, and picked her up.

Jiaqi, who was staring at the TV screen, was suddenly picked up by me, and with a mum sound, her big eyes looked at me in confusion.

"Kiki, it's Papa. ”

"papa~" Jiaqi muttered, gently spitting out these two words, but her round eyes showed an incomprehensible brilliance.

Listening to Jiaqi's call, I felt my heart ache.

I shouldn't have had Jiaqi in the first place, I shouldn't have possessed her like this.

When I first picked her up three years ago, I should have taken her to the police station, to the welfare orphanage.

What lori cultivation plan, what maid cultivation plan.

It's all a joke.

Those are my unrealistic fantasies, delusions that arise from my delusions that are rendered by those yellow cultures and immersed in fantasies that are detached from reality.

In my hands, Jiaqi has no future. I couldn't afford her to go to kindergarten, to go to elementary school, middle school, or university, so I had to lock her up in a dark basement. Nor can I give her freedom, knowledge, joy, and true love.

Someday, she will leave me.

Rather than wait until that day, I might as well let Jiaqi go early.

It's time to let go.

That night, I thought about it a lot, and I remembered a lot, a lot.

That night, I slept on the couch in the underground warehouse, and Jiaqi's tiny body lay on my stomach, playing with blocks.

At that time, I told myself that this was the last time I would spend the night with Jiaqi in the underground warehouse.

No matter what it is, as long as it is the last time, it seems so precious.

I went to bed late that night.

Jiaqi had already slept.

And I stared at Jiaqi's sleeping position, at her slightly round little face, at her tender eyelids and closed eyelashes until midnight.

I didn't sleep well that night. This feeling seems to go back to when Jiaqi was one year old, when I was breastfeeding Jiaqi every night, and I couldn't sleep at night.

When I woke up the next day, it was almost noon.

It was a cloudy day, the sky outside was full of haze, the wind was strong, and there were leaves flying outside the window.

After helping Jiaqi make a bowl of millet porridge, I stayed in the room with Jiaqi, watching TV and listening to the wind outside the window.

The time to watch the round wall clock above the TV pass little by little, and the time for separation with Jiaqi is gradually approaching.

It was finally 5 o'clock in the evening.

At that time, I got up.

I dressed Jiaqi in a new white and blue cotton suit, pink running shoes, and tied her black hair with two short braids.

I'm going to see Jiaqi off in the most beautiful way.

At half past five, I led Jiaqi out the door

It began to rain outside, and the wind was blowing.

I held up my umbrella, Jiaqi grabbed my trouser legs, and we walked out of the house together.

Because it was difficult to ride in rainy weather, I took a taxi at the nearest location and told the driver the address given by Mr. Chen.

At 5:50 a.m., I arrived at the location designated by Mr. Chen.

Carrying Jiaqi out of the car, I paid, held up my umbrella, and looked around.

It is a quiet community, surrounded by planned secluded lawns and on-site housing, with little crowding.

I walked down the road in the neighborhood, holding an umbrella, and Jiaqi grabbed my trouser legs.

The rain was heavy, the ground was wet, and the transparent raindrops fell in the water and made waves, and the white splashes kept splashing when they stepped on the water.

Then, looking up, I saw it.

A black Porsche 966 slowly glides across the water from a distance.

My heart was beating faster at that moment.

I know, Mr. Chen is here.
