  Xue Xi knocked on the metal door and it opened. A slightly unfamiliar face appeared. “Who are you looking for?”


  Xue Xi: “?”


  She looked at that person hesitantly. After looking at him for a while, she asked, “Where’s Grandpa Li, who is guarding this place?”


  The guard replied, “Ah? He left last August!”


  Left?

  Xue Xi hesitated.

  Although the staff in the orphanage changed frequently, there were actually a few who were fixed and rarely changed, such as the old guard.

  When she was young, she was more boring and Grandpa Li often teased her to speak more.

  One time, she asked Grandpa Li how long he planned to work here. Grandpa Li said that he would do it for the rest of his life. Last August, when she was still here, she did not see any signs of Grandpa Li leaving.

  Why did Grandpa Li change jobs the moment she left?

  “Who are you looking for?” the security guard asked again.

  Before Xue Xi could speak, Xiang Huai had already said, “We’re children who left from here. We’re coming back to take a look. Please inform the director.”


  The guard then asked, “Sure, what’s your name?”


  Xiang Huai shot a glance at Xue Xi.

  Xue Xi said, “Xue Xi.”


  “Okay.”


  The guard recorded her name and made another call. After the other party said something, he hung up and agreed. “The director happened to be out to buy something. She’s back now. You guys can go in and take a look.”


  “Okay.”


  After replying, Xue Xi followed Xiang Huai into the orphanage.

  After taking two steps, Xue Xi realized that Xiang Huai was staring at her.

  Xue Xi hesitated and asked, “What’s wrong?”


  Xiang Huai smiled faintly. “Are there many people with the surname Xue in this village?”


  Xue Xi shook her head. “Not much. This countryside is filled with people with the surname Zhang.”


  Xiang Huai nodded and did not speak.

  However, looking at him, Xue Xi frowned.

  She understood what Xiang Huai was saying.

  In the orphanage, the children had names. Some of them were from parents who had passed away. They no longer had guardians, but they had identities.

  Some of them had been thrown away since they were young and were sent to the orphanage. This group of people would usually be given a random surname because this orphanage was opened in the countryside. Hence, most of the children from unknown origins in this orphanage would be given the surname Zhang.

  But why was her surname Xue since she was young?!

  Because she had been called Xue Xi since she was young, she had never suspected this name. Even after her biological parents came to look for her, she had never thought much about it.

  However, at this moment, it made one shudder.

  Ye Li had said that she was stolen after she was born.

  At that time, everyone did not think much of it and thought that it was a human trafficker who had stolen the child. However, after that person had stolen the child, he must have sold it at a high price. Why would she be sent to the orphanage?

  The kidnapper even named her Xue Xi. Then, the person who sent her to the orphanage must know her identity!

  Xue Xi looked at Xiang Huai and saw that the man had already walked into the building. He turned a corner and went to the room beside him.

  Xue Xi suppressed her doubts and followed him in. Seeing Xiang Huai standing at the door, she explained, “This is the music room. There are many instruments that can be used here. I also learned the piano here.”


  Xiang Huai stared at the piano and his lips twitched. “Do you know what brand this piano is?”


  Xue Xi shook her head and looked at the piano.

  The black piano sat in the corner of the music room. At this moment, it was gently covered with a layer of cloth. Sunlight shone in through the window and one could see that the piano was covered in a layer of dust. It must have been a long time since someone had come to class.

  She had been studying piano here since she was young and was not sensitive to brands and prices.

  However, when she thought about it carefully, the sound quality of the piano seemed to be better than the one Xue Yao used.

  Just as she was thinking this, Xiang Huai sighed. “This is the top version of Kawai. It’s worth millions on the market.”


  Xue Xi: “.……”


  Xiang Huai looked at her with a sharp gaze. “Little kid, do you want to know why I’ve been looking for you?”
