If at this moment, Mo Heze on the other end of the phone could see the expression on Ye Tang's face at the moment, he could see that the expression on her face at the moment was like ...... The robot was turned off like some kind of program.

Or...... Some kind of program, called affection, has been shut down at the moment.

But Mo Heze on the other end of the phone couldn't see Ye Tang's expression, so when he heard her voice calm, he said, "Since you, like me, were once children of the Nursery Welfare Institute, do you remember the old dean?" ”

"I don't remember." Ye Tang's voice was calm and waveless, with almost no ups and downs at all, even similar to Cheng Mo and Jing Shen when they were most indifferent.

It was colder than when she spoke to Ye Weijian coldly after she was splashed with coffee by Ye Weijian in the restaurant.

Mo Heze was a little displeased, there were so many children in the welfare home back then, and the old dean tried his best to find a better way out and a better family for every child. It is true that many children have found a good family.

Many children are grateful for this, including Mo Heze, who was adopted by a good family, received a good education, and had a good life. He is grateful for it to this day.

So of course I think that all children should be like this. Because the dean is the same and treats all children. As far as Mo Heze knew, the old dean was even more so to Ye Tang.

The arrangements for Ye Tang are all very good families, although she was not successfully adopted in the first family, but Ye Tang later went to a very good family and was rich. Received a very good education.

Although he was her biological father, if the dean was irresponsible and raised her to an ordinary or even poor family early on, how could there be such a good life?

Shouldn't she be grateful? Shouldn't he be as grateful as he is to the other children who have been left from the welfare home? How can you say you don't remember?

But Mo Heze had a good upbringing, and his attitude was still good, so he continued, "Jiangcheng Seedling Welfare Institute, don't you remember? Maybe when you were adopted, you were too young to be impressed, but you should be a little impressed, right? If you recall it carefully, Dean Li Qiao, do you really not remember? ”

"I don't remember." Ye Tang's voice was cold, "I'm sorry, my father is my biological father, both physiologically and legally." I wasn't adopted in a welfare home, my family was in good condition, and there was no need to send me to a welfare home. ”

Her cold tone, disinterested attitude, even with some impatience. Mo Heze finally couldn't hold back, and his voice was a little higher.

"What's wrong with you! What kind of garlic is in it, if you don't remember, your tone will change so quickly? If it weren't for the dean, would you be where you are today? Shaking up when you have a little money? Ye Tang, you must have a conscience! ”

Mo Heze took a deep breath and calmed down.

continued: "I didn't plan to let you pay for this phone call, I didn't plan to let you pay rice, if you worry about this, save it." I called to tell you that Dean Li Qiao passed away two hours ago due to illness. The body has been transported to the Jiangcheng funeral home, if you still have a little conscience, come to the funeral, the old dean has never been married all his life, has no children, no daughters, and has dedicated his life to the welfare home, and treats the children in the hospital as his own children. If you don't have any conscience left and you feel that you can't wipe your face, forget it. I didn't make this call. ”

After Mo Heze finished saying what he wanted to say, he suddenly hung up the phone.

There was no movement on that end, but Ye Tang was still holding the phone to his ear, and the expression on his face was calm and almost indifferent, to be exact, it should be numb.

Just holding the phone to his ear like that, he stood still and didn't move for a long time.

It's still like a robot with some program turned off. I don't know how long she stood in silence like this before she resumed her movements like a robot with the switch turned on.

She quietly put down her phone, picked up the stainless steel basin on the floor, and continued to work methodically, as if nothing had happened, as if the phone call just now was just an illusion.

First the faucet in the sink rattled with water, then the sound of the vacuum cleaner humming when it worked, and then the creaking sound of a rag wiping the table clean.

When everything is finally done. Ye Tang stood in the living room that had been cleaned up, staring at the small red light the size of a grain of rice that would turn on when it was on standby under the TV.

His eyes were stunned, there was no focus in his eyes, and his gaze seemed to drift away far away in an instant. The person is still here, but the soul doesn't seem to know how far away.

Li Qiao.

Jiangcheng.

Nursery Welfare Institute.

Dean Li Qiao.

Dean Li ......

The state of Ye Tang is very poor, these ...... These keywords, these keywords and these fragments that I obviously don't remember, but I resist them from the inside, as if I remember everything.

tormented her.

The green tendons on Ye Tang's neck obviously burst out, and the tiny blood vessels on her forehead also bulged, and her face was flushed with congestion, which was not a blush of shame, but as if she was suffering great pain.

It was not hard to see how she was clenching her teeth from the tightness of her cheeks, and a slight sound came out of her throat, it was a ...... The pain, like the roar of a trapped beast moaning in pain, was low. But it's painful.

Her muscles were tense, trembling, twitching.

Ye Tang's mind seemed to be in a trance.

She stood where she was, but what she saw was not herself who was already twenty-five years old, but only five years old. Short, dark, and skinny.

The surrounding scene is not the living room of one's own home, but a ...... It's a strange place, but it's very familiar, the kind of furniture that looks very outdated at first glance, the desk and bookcase with ugly wood grain, and the bookcase displays not books, but photos, many, many photos.

The background in the photo is almost the same place, the black iron gate, and there is a red sign on the gate, and a few big characters are printed on the sign - Jiangcheng Seedling Welfare Institute.

In the photo, there are different children, and the same middle-aged woman with a gentle appearance.

Li Qiao.

Dean Lee.

"Dean Li, can I see her?" A man's voice came from outside the office door, clear, and sounded familiar, but for a moment I couldn't remember whose voice it was.

Then a more familiar voice, a gentle female voice, said, "Please wait here for a while, I'll talk to her first, this child is timid, it's better for me to talk to her first." ”
