Chapter 536: It’s So Dark Outside!
“Wait! Miss, you can’t just take the child away like this!”
Seeing Liu Yutong about to leave with the little girl, the older woman immediately became anxious.
Hearing the commotion, a police officer quickly walked over and said sternly, “Ma’am, please wait. According to procedure, the child must be placed with the relevant authorities for now. You can’t take…”
Before he could finish, a Wanlong Society member stepped forward and blocked them.
“Officer, she is Chairwoman Liu Yutong of Wanlong Society Group. We are taking this child in. If you have any questions, you can speak with our company’s lawyer. Here’s a business card.”
As he spoke, he handed over a business card.
Officer: “…”
Older woman: “…”
Are all rich people this overbearing?
However, when they saw Yaya following that extraordinary young woman into a priceless Maybach, they gave up on the idea of getting the child back.
This might be for the best for the child.
Even if they kept the child, the result would be sending her to an orphanage. The older woman couldn’t adopt the child—she had her own family. Since this obviously wealthy girl was willing to take in the little girl, it was the best possible outcome.
As for the paperwork, for someone of her status, it wasn’t even an issue.
The onlookers had mostly heard about Yaya’s situation from the older woman and had been worried about what would happen to her.
But when they saw this apparently wealthy stranger take Yaya in, they couldn’t help but discuss it.
“See that car? A Maybach! I hear it costs over ten million.”
“Wow, that expensive?”
“The money is the small thing. Look at this display—all those black-clad men following behind. Ordinary wealthy people don’t have this kind of presence. That girl is so young, yet her aura is so commanding. She must be from no ordinary family.”
“Didn’t I just hear someone over there say something about… Wanlong Society?”
“The name might sound a bit shady, but it must be a big company. This child following her—she’s really landed in a lucky situation.”
“Yes, being able to ride in a car like that, protected by people like them—it’s a thousand times better than going to an orphanage. At least she’ll have food and clothing for life, with people to protect her.”
“Ai, a bitter child with a sweet future.”
“No matter what, having a place to belong is a good thing. Hopefully this little girl will grow up healthy and safe, without illness or disaster.”
…
In the car.
After chatting along the way, Yaya had stopped crying.
Children her age still have a vague concept of death, and their attention is easily diverted.
Now she sat quietly in her seat, her small hands holding a freshly bought little cake, eating it in small bites. Those grape-like black eyes were shining again.
“Sister, does that faraway place where Daddy went have cake?”
Liu Yutong felt a slight ache in her heart. She gently wiped the cream from the corner of Yaya’s mouth with a wet wipe and said, “Yes, there are endless sweet cakes there. Daddy can eat as much as he wants.”
“Really? But… but what if Yaya misses Daddy? When will he come back?”
“Daddy… he became the brightest star in the sky.”
“When Yaya misses Daddy, just look up at the stars and blink at it. Daddy will be able to see. He’ll smile at Yaya from the star and bless her to grow up safe, healthy, and happy.”
“Daddy can see if I blink?”
“Of course. But it’s too late today. Daddy is already resting.”
“Okay then…”
“Sister, your car is so big and pretty.”
“Does Yaya like it? Sister will take Yaya out to play in this car often, okay?”
“We can go to parks with lots of little animals, go to beaches where we can dig in the sand. Sister will also buy Yaya a big house full of dolls…”
“Really? But that must cost a lot of money, right?”
“Daddy said we can’t just take things from others. Making money is hard… He had to drive for a long time to buy Yaya a little cake.”
“Daddy also said we must pay back what we owe… Sister, Yaya… Yaya doesn’t want a doll house. Just one small doll is enough. When Yaya grows up, I’ll make money and buy you… um, one, two, three, four… six dolls! And, and lots of yummy cakes for Sister!”
Hearing these words from Yaya, Liu Yutong was deeply moved. Such a sensible child.
“Sister believes you can definitely do it. But right now, Daddy has gone to rest on a star. He specifically asked me to buy you many dolls and take you to lots of fun places. You have to accept these gifts for Daddy to be happy in heaven. Understand?”
Yaya looked at Liu Yutong, not quite understanding, and asked quietly, “Will Daddy really be happy?”
“Yes, he will definitely be very! Very happy!”
“So, Yaya only needs to focus on growing up happily. Eat what you want, tell Sister what you want. This is Daddy and Sister’s wish, okay?”
Yaya nodded vigorously, “Mmm! Yaya will be good. Yaya will be happy!”
At that moment, Yun Cheng’s voice came from the front.
“Miss, we’ve arrived.”
Hearing this, Liu Yutong rolled down the window. By now, it was raining heavily outside.
Yaya, who was happily licking the cream from her cake, subconsciously turned to look outside and let out a soft “Ya”: “Sister, it’s so dark outside!”
Once she could see clearly, she couldn’t help but say, “Wow! So many black-clothed brothers!”
Outside, countless black-clad figures stood in the heavy rain, surrounding the building with “Heavenly Club” written on it so tightly that not a drop of water could get through.
Each held a black umbrella. The formation was extremely intimidating. For five hundred meters around, almost no other people could be seen—they had all been scared away.
However, Yaya had already seen similarly dressed people around Liu Yutong, and those black-clad men had been the ones to deliver the cake. She wasn’t afraid. Instead, she actively waved her little hand out the window.
“Hello, black-clothed brothers!”
“It’s raining. Don’t get wet and sick.”
Some of the nearby black-clad men had serious expressions on their faces, but hearing this voice, they couldn’t help but smile and wave back at her.
Having received a response, Yaya said excitedly, “Sister, they’re greeting me!”
Liu Yutong: “Is that so? It means they like Yaya too.”
“Right!” Yaya’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.
Yun Cheng also couldn’t help but smile: “Miss, this girl has potential.”
Liu Yutong smiled and gently stroked Yaya’s hair. “Yaya, Sister needs to get out and take care of something. You stay in the car with the driver brother and be good. You can count to one hundred, and Sister will be back, okay?”
“Okay! Yaya is the best at counting!”
Yaya immediately became serious, her little mouth starting to recite: “One, two, three…”
At the same time, the car door was respectfully opened by a black-clad man waiting outside.
Then, another black-clad man stepped forward half a step almost simultaneously, and with a swish, opened a black umbrella, perfectly shielding the area above the car door from the rain.
The moment Liu Yutong stepped out of the car and stood under the umbrella.
She saw that beneath the countless black umbrellas surrounding the entire club, the dense crowd of black-clad men simultaneously lowered their heads and bowed slightly in her direction.
“MISS!!!” Times several hundred.
The deafening sound instantly drowned out the pattering rain and all other surrounding noise.
