At eight o'clock in the evening, Yin Chang, who had been out of contact for 24 hours, finally called Yao Manhuai.
Seeing the caller ID, Yao Manhuai sighed "Thank God" in his heart, and quickly slid down the answer button, while pretending to be calm: "Xiao Chang, where are you? Are you okay now?"
The other side was silent for two seconds, and suddenly said: "I brought him back."
"What?" Yao Manhuai didn't respond.
Yin Chang repeated: "I mean that Shao Junling, I have brought him home."
Yao Manhuai grabbed the phone and suddenly became confused: "...you, you..."
Yin Chang: "To be honest, I'm... in a bit of a mess right now, can you come over?"
Yao Manhuai: "Wait! I'll be there right away!"
Another burst of slamming on the accelerator and speeding to the Huaihe apartment, Yao Manhuai felt that the pressure on her heart these two days was greater than that of the years when she was Yin Dong's manager.
She parked the car and went upstairs anxiously.
After getting out of the elevator and bypassing the entrance, it was facing the living room of the apartment. The boy with a tragic life experience in the news was sitting on the sofa and munching on a hamburger.
Seeing Yao Manhuai coming in, the boy arched his body nervously, holding the food tightly with both hands, with a mouthful in his protruding mouth, his reaction at that moment was like a wild animal eating food, vigilantly guarding against accidents occur.
Yin Chang stood on the side, and the gaze that was originally looking at Yao Manhuai also involuntarily glanced at Shao Junling, observing his reaction carefully.
But soon, he looked away uncomfortably.
Yao Manhuai was puzzled by the awkward atmosphere in the apartment: "What's going on? You, how did you bring him back?"
Yin Chang thinks about this incident and thinks it is quite magical.
In fact, after he finished asking Shao Junling that question, he knew he was impulsive.
He thought that even if Shao Junling said he was willing, he couldn't immediately take him away from the orphanage. Moreover, he is not familiar with Shao Junling at all, he has never thought about what he will do after bringing him back, how he will live in the future, whether there will be conflicts...
Just then, the teacher from the orphanage showed up.
The female teacher just came to look for Shao Junling, and when she heard Yin Chang asking Shao Junling not far away, she covered her mouth and wept with joy. She came over, grabbed Yin Chang's hand excitedly and said, "I didn't expect you to come so soon!"
Yin Chang was also a little confused at the time, but the female teacher took him by herself and said that she was sorry for what happened on the Internet. It was not her original intention, but she believed Yuji wrongly. But she also had no choice but to allow Shao Junling to see him as soon as possible, so she agreed to release a press release to Yuji, but she didn't expect that the news that came out was completely different from what she had imagined, and it caused him and Yin Dong to be misunderstood by so many people. She felt very guilty.
While talking, she went to pack Shao Junling's luggage, and told Yin Chang some trivial things, such as Shao Junling's bad temper, he might bite and arrest people when he was in a hurry, and his expressive skills were poor, so let him take more care of it. She also left him a phone number, saying that if there is any problem, she can ask her for help at any time.
Seeing that it was getting late, she was too embarrassed to talk too much, so she sent them directly to the entrance of the orphanage.
In the end, the female teacher told Shao Junling to listen to his brother, and the child didn't protest at all, just nodded obediently and followed him out.
Before leaving, Yin Chang felt really strange and asked, "Do I have to bring him back to go through any formalities?"
The female teacher said: "No need, your father's agent has approached us before, and everything has been settled. Didn't she tell you?"
Because Yin Chang didn't eat anything before leaving for the orphanage, and Shao Junling also ran out during the dinner time of the orphanage, Yin Chang guessed that he was also hungry, so he ordered some takeaway from McDonald's when he got home, and ate with him.
While waiting for the takeaway, Yin Chang called Yao Manhuai, wondering what information he had missed.
After listening to him, Yao Manhuai stroked his forehead with emotion and amused: "It's really... ah..."
Then, she also slowly told what happened when Yin Chang lost contact.
After yesterday's news fermented, Yao Manhuai called Lawyer Wang and the director of Jingxue Welfare Institute, and basically confirmed that Yin Dong really wanted to adopt Shao Junling before his death. It was only due to negligence that everyone missed this information, which gave the paparazzi an opportunity to release such black material that distorts the facts.
She consulted Lawyer Wang, Yin Dong was gone, how to solve Shao Junling's problem.
Lawyer Wang said that since Yin Dong and Shao Junling have not yet become father and son, Yin Chang is not considered Shao Junling's elder brother legally, nor can he be Shao Junling's guardian. Moreover, although Yin Chang has reached the age of eighteen, he still does not meet the conditions for an independent adopter.
The only way is to find an adult with adoption qualifications to adopt Shao Junling, take Shao Junling out of the orphanage first, and then entrust Yin Chang to supervise him.
Yao Manhuai searched around and found that she was the most suitable for the role of adopter.
After some deliberation, Yao Manhuai called the orphanage and said that she wanted to come forward to adopt Shao Junling. Although this decision is a bit hasty, she will definitely take responsibility - she can also have half a year of parent-child interaction with Shao Junling like Yin Dong, accept all-round inspection by the orphanage until Shao Junling can accept her, and do her best in the future Shao Junling provides a good environment for growth and education.
"But the director of the Jingxue Welfare Institute said that since yesterday, many people who read the news have called them and wanted to adopt Shao Junling, but the situation of Shao Junling's child is very special. From what they said, Shao Junling seems to be only Want to see you, but they only recognize Yin Dong and you... In order to appease them, I said that although I adopted it, it can be just a formality. In essence, Shao Junling will still be Yin Dong's son and your younger brother from now on. If If Shao Junling is willing, he can choose to live with you—and only I can provide this plan.” Yao Manhuai looked at Yin Chang and said apologetically, “I wasn’t sure at the time whether you would accept him, so I talked to the people in the orphanage. Said, you are not ready to take Shao Junling back yet..."
Yin Chang finally understood why the female teacher at the orphanage told him, "I didn't expect you to come so soon".
Yao Manhuai said again: "But you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself. I think even if you can't accept it, it doesn't matter if I raise this child alone in the future. Talking to the orphanage is just a way to slow down the war. I want to win their favor." Take a stand, make an official statement, and calm down the public opinion first.”
Yao Manhuai said, and glanced at Shao Junling.
Shao Junling probably relaxed his guard against her, and finished eating the hamburger without saying a word, squatting on the edge alone to play with the leather of the sofa.
Yao Manhuai asked Yin Chang: "What about you, what do you think, why did you go to the orphanage to see him alone?"
Yin Chang didn't know where to start. When he first learned the truth yesterday, he was obviously very angry, and he ran out full of grievances and drank all night... Going to the orphanage in the evening was just a whim.
Yin Chang was also wondering why he became like this.
He glanced at Shao Junling following Yao Manhuai's line of sight, and it happened that Shao Junling was also peeking at him. Their eyes collided subtly in the air, and the child retracted first.
Shao Junling seemed to care about his attitude
Hey, no matter what, Yin Chang is now completely convinced that Shao Junling is Yin Dong's son, so he has to accept this younger brother appearing in his life.
Yin Chang withdrew his gaze, looked at Yao Manhuai, and said calmly, "Aunt Yao, I want to leave all of my father's property to him."
Yao Manhuai didn't understand why Yin Chang had this idea suddenly: "Xiao Chang, calm down, whether Shao Junling is your father's illegitimate child is still uncertain."
Yin Chang asked back, "Aunt Yao, besides my grandparents, have you heard of any other relatives that Dad mentioned?"
Yao Manhuai was taken aback, and shook his head. They had known each other for so many years, and they knew each other well, but except for Yin Chang, Yin Dong rarely talked about his background with others.
"That's it." Yin Chang smiled wryly. He originally refused to believe it, but when he saw Shao Junling, he had no choice but to believe it.
—If it wasn't father and son, how could they look so alike
