Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Returning to Han

The woman felt somewhat embarrassed, but Huo Tingdong’s expression was too cold, so she could only walk away from the side of the car, disgruntled.

Huo Tingdong got in the car and made a phone call to Mo Ke.

As soon as the call was connected, Huo Tingdong asked, “Check the movements of Song Shuyan abroad for the past few months.”

“Okay,” Mo Ke reported, “Mr. Huo, there’s been an issue at the company, it needs your attention.”

“Got it.”

…

In the afternoon.

After settling Momo and Han, Lin Qi set out for the orphanage.

She had received a call from the orphanage saying that Lili was refusing to eat and had started a hunger strike.

When Lin Qi arrived at the orphanage, she saw Lili in the dormitory.

As she entered, she saw Lili curled up in the corner, motionless. Upon seeing Lin Qi, a long-lost smile rekindled on Lili’s face.

“Sister…”

Upon seeing Lin Qi, Lili tried to roll out of bed, but she hadn’t had anything to eat or drink for two days and had no strength; she could barely stand steady.

Lin Qi hugged her with heartache, finding that she had lost a lot of weight. She was already thin, and after entering the orphanage and not eating properly, she was all skin and bones.

Feeling sorry for her, Lin Qi asked, “The teachers from the orphanage called me, saying you refuse to eat. Why?”

Lili buried her small face in Lin Qi’s embrace, not saying a word.

Lin Qi gently touched her small head, only to discover injuries on Lili’s body.

There were several tears in her clothes. Lifting them, Lin Qi found bruises on Lili’s back, legs, and arms, as if someone had squeezed her harshly.

Lin Qi was shocked, “Lili, how did you get injured?”

Lili still refused to speak, very downcast.

Lin Qi stayed with Lili in the dormitory for a while, coaxing her. Finally, Lili was willing to eat something – a bowl of rice with a little bit of food. The orphanage’s meals were terrible, whether it was meat or vegetables, it was far worse compared to what Han and Momo ate.

After eating a little, Lili lay on the bed, drowsy.

Lin Qi saw that she had no vitality and lacked the energy typical of a child her age. While many children played in the playground, she stayed alone in the dormitory as if she could not fit in.

In the office.

Lin Qi found the teacher in charge of Lili and asked, “Lili has many injuries on her body. What happened? Is someone bullying her?”

The teacher replied, “We don’t know who caused her injuries. As you’ve seen, there are so many orphans in the orphanage, and few teachers. One teacher has to look after thirty to forty children, and they’re not monitored around the clock. There are inevitably small cliques among the children. Kids bullying kids is a common occurrence.”

The orphanage had a chaotic management system.

Kindergartens and primary schools had a class system where children of the same age were grouped together, but here, the class divisions were a mess, with 5-year-olds and 10-year-olds in the same class. Mischievous little children and older children bullying the younger ones were commonplace.

The teacher continued, “Recently, we contacted a family that was willing to adopt Lili, but she didn’t want to go with them. Lili said you would come to take her to live with you; she’s waiting for you.”

After hearing this, Lin Qi had mixed feelings, “I’m not qualified for adoption. I have a son, and I’m not married yet.”

After listening, the teacher nodded, “Yes, but adoption requirements are firm, and we have no control over them… I think that family seemed quite good, with no children of their own and no plans to have any in the future. They are a remarried family that would likely be responsible for a child; it’s just a pity that Lili doesn’t want to go with them.”

Suddenly the phone rang.

The teacher excused herself with an apologetic smile, “I need to take this call.”

She got up and answered the phone.

Lin Qi looked out the window, her mind burdened with thoughts.

The teacher: “… Mr. Li, why are you calling again?”

“…”

“… That child has already returned to her biological family. You’re now asking me for the child, and I can’t just give her to you.”

“…”

“You want to sue?… Mr. Li, calm down… I suggest you report this to the police…”

“…”

The teacher, flustered, hung up the phone and returned to her desk, flushed and red-eared.

Lin Qi frowned and asked the teacher, “What’s wrong?”

The teacher said, “Nothing, just two lunatics. Remember how Han was sent to our orphanage? We found Han’s biological father, but recently, a man suddenly called claiming Han is their son and wants to take him back.

But Han has already returned to his biological family. Now they’re threatening to sue the orphanage.”

Lin Qi found it utterly nonsensical, “What relation do they have to Han?”

The teacher explained, “I asked that too, but he was evasive, only insisting Han is his son. As for how the boy came to be his son, I suspect adoption, but he denies it, insisting that Han is his son and wants to take him back. But as you know, Han is Mr. Huo’s son; there is evidence of paternity testing.”

Lin Qi asked, “Adoption? Through what channel did he adopt Han?”

The teacher replied, “I don’t know.”

Lin Qi suddenly stood up excitedly, “Can you give me their contact details?”

Huo Tingdong had been looking to investigate Han’s background, and if this man claims Han is his son, perhaps starting with him would reveal Han’s history and offer a chance to find his biological mother.

The teacher warned, “That man is unreasonable and hard to talk to; do you still want to contact him?”

Lin Qi nodded, “Yes.”

After hearing this, the teacher reluctantly agreed, “Okay. I’ll copy down his number for you.”

“Thank you.”

The teacher wrote down the man’s number for her.

Lin Qi asked, “Lili hasn’t been eating well lately. Maybe it’s the environment that’s preventing her from feeling safe. Can I take her home for a while?”

The teacher hesitated, “According to the orphanage’s rules, except for children who are adopted, no one can take the children away at will.”

Lin Qi suggested, “What if I leave my ID here? Or… I can pay some money and write down my home address.”

After listening, the teacher said, “Let me ask the director about it.”

“Thank you.”

Lin Qi sat in the office, waiting for a response.

Half an hour later.

The teacher returned and asked Lin Qi, “How long do you plan to take Lili home?”

Lin Qi replied, “Maybe for a week. I’m worried Lili might have post-traumatic stress disorder, and I want to find her a psychologist for treatment.”

The teacher nodded, “Then please come with me to the director’s office to complete the procedures.”

“Okay.”
