Chapter 929: Orphaned
The director was quite elderly and took a moment to think before slowly speaking.
"I only know that their parents died early, and they lived with relatives. Because the two kids ran to the orphanage, their relatives were admonished by the police and refused to take care of them anymore."
"Actually, we all knew they were just using it as an excuse to abandon them. In the end, it was Xia Chun who volunteered to stay at the orphanage, and the matter was settled."
"I remember I once asked the police about their parents, but they avoided the topic and only asked us to take good care of the children."
The director stroked the sisters’ photograph and sighed softly.
"I could sense from the words of the police that there was probably more to their parents’ deaths than met the eye."
"By the way, have you been in touch with Xia Chun?"
The director suddenly looked at Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen.
Lin Zhiyi nodded, now almost certain that Xia Chun was Xia Wan and Shirley was her sister Xia Xue.
The director said, "When she left abruptly for college, she left a photo behind in her room. I’ve been keeping it for her, and I remember she used to keep it under her pillow. If you see her, please return it to her. It should be quite important to her."
"Okay," Lin Zhiyi agreed.
The director kept one photo of the sisters and then removed the others.
