Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Daring to Touch a Tiger’s Butt Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Daring to Touch a Tiger’s Butt “Not bad!” Shen Zhaozhao took it as a compliment.
She had always been the type to dare to touch even the tiger’s butt, only she ran faster than anyone else after doing so.
“But, can you wait for me for a moment? I need to go get a fake note.” She wasn’t Ye Zhen, casually skipping class could lead to a demerit, and she might even get expelled.
She didn’t want Ms. Shu Ran and Old Shen’s hundreds of thousands to go to waste.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you outside the gate,” Ye Zhen said, and then she walked towards the school entrance.
Shen Zhaozhao made an OK gesture with her hand and turned toward the office.
Jiang Nian followed beside her, asking worriedly, “Are you really going out with her?”
“I think she must have something to tell me if she’s asking me out. Don’t worry, it will be fine.” Now it’s a society governed by law; the other party shouldn’t deceive her into doing something to her.
“But now I need to get a sick leave note from the teacher, and you have to help me with that.”
“Got it!” Jiang Nian helped her to the office where Shen Zhaozhao made the excuse of a stomachache to go to the hospital and got a sick leave note from the class teacher.
When she came out of the school, she saw Ye Zhen standing under a tree waiting for her.
Shen Zhaozhao walked towards her and asked, “Okay, where are we going now?”
“Just follow me and you’ll see.”
In the end, Ye Zhen took her to buy a pile of toys and snacks for kids, then hailed a taxi and took her to an orphanage.
Getting out of the car, Ye Zhen voluntarily brought up, “I got lost from my family when I was little and was sent here, later to meet my adoptive parents. My adoptive parents were initially well-off; they wanted to adopt because they couldn’t have their own children. Unfortunately, later their business failed, and they lost all their wealth. My adoptive father started to drown his sorrows in drink every day since then, and my adoptive mother left my adoptive father and me because she couldn’t stand that life anymore.”
Shen Zhaozhao remembered the rumors she had heard about her, that she got lost as a child, grew up with her adoptive father who was a drunkard and a good-for-nothing, neglecting her all year, and that she was found and brought back by the Ye Family only a year ago.
However, from her calm narrative, she seemed to bear no resentment towards her adoptive parents.
And indeed, Ye Zhen didn’t hate them.
Even though her adoptive father had not been taking much care of her in recent years, he truly cherished her in the initial years.
Compared to those children in the orphanage who had never felt a parent’s love since they got there, she was already considered fortunate.
“Why did you ask me to accompany you here?” Shen Zhaozhao was a bit puzzled.
If it was just to see the kids, she could have come by herself.
Ye Zhen glanced at her and explained, “When the Ye Family found me, I had just come to visit the kids here. They heard from the Ye Family about my having a sister, and ever since have been clamoring to meet her.”
Shen Zhaozhao understood; with her relationship with Wei’an, she naturally wouldn’t be able to bring Wei’an here.
“So my role today is to pretend to be your sister?”
“Exactly!” Ye Zhen nodded.
“Alright, from this moment on, I’m your sister. Sister, let’s go!” Shen Zhaozhao took her hand, quickly immersing herself into her new role.
Ye Zhen couldn’t help but stiffen for a moment. Over the years, she had grown accustomed to being alone, not liking others too close to her.
And Shen Zhaozhao’s action had undoubtedly broken her longstanding habit.
But, surprisingly, she didn’t dislike it.
