Chapter 6: Praise be to You
"It’s not that important. Thank you, Butler Ge."
Pei Zhen tilted his head slightly, his puzzled gaze mingling with the faint morning light, blurring with the persistent chill of winter—pale like dew yet intense as the blazing sun.
He remembered their meeting yesterday; the way his aunt looked at him wasn’t purely simple, at times even quite complex. As if she was looking through him at someone else. There’s no kindness without reason in this world. Although his aunt was very kind, perhaps it was because of someone who resembled him that she’d taken the trouble to save him. What kind of existence did that person hold in his aunt’s heart?
Pei Zhen pondered for a while, his gaze unwaveringly fixed on the increasingly distinct Imperial Private Academy in the distance.
No matter who it was for. Whatever his aunt hoped he would do, he just needed to be obedient. After all, when he was abandoned by the whole world, only she had approached him like a deity.
The black car stopped. He picked up the black patent leather schoolbag beside him, bid farewell to Butler Ge, and walked slowly toward the school gate, seemingly unaffected by his recent conjectures.
Butler Ge watched his figure disappear with a smile before driving the luxury car away. He had received the news yesterday and wondered why Miss Xu had suddenly adopted an orphan, but after seeing the boy, he no longer found it strange. At such a young age, despite having faced great adversity, he remained remarkably calm and composed. He was a promising young man; if he concentrated on his studies, his future would surely be bright. Moreover, he was attending the school Miss Xu herself had once attended.
Imperial Private Academy on Hong Kong Island.
This could be said to be the best academy in the whole harbor, leading in both teaching quality and fees. It was recognized as the most expensive academy, and its principal claimed all students could enter prestigious universities for further study. Hence, the majority of students here were heirs to well-known business empires.
