Chapter 3 Adoption_1
The young female attendant on duty inside the small motel quickly stood up as Sister Lin entered, asking politely, "Big sister, who are you looking for?"
With a cheery smile, Sister Lin replied, "Young lady, I'm looking for Shen Wenru and Li Xiuxia who are staying in room 202. I'm a relative of their family."
The female attendant asked her, "Do you have your ID with you?"
Sister Lin had left in a hurry and hadn't brought her ID; she could only offer an apologetic smile and say, "Look, young lady, I rushed out so quickly that I forgot to bring my ID. Could you make an exception and let me go up to see them?"
Upon hearing Sister Lin didn't have her ID, the attendant immediately became stern and told her, "I'm sorry, but that won't work. Without ID registration, I can't take responsibility if something happens."
Although the eighties no longer required an introduction letter when going out, ID checks remained very strict.
Sister Lin could only plead with the young attendant, "Please, young lady, I'm begging you. Let me go up. I will come down very quickly, okay? Please?"
But the attendant stood firm on the rules, "No, you either go home and bring back your ID, or... I can go up and notify the guests in room 202 to see if they're willing to meet you."
Under normal circumstances, Sister Lin might actually have gone back to get her ID before returning, but in today's special and urgent situation, how could she possibly go back to the Ning Family to fetch her ID?
