Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 583 - 580: Storm is Coming

Chapter 583: Chapter 580: Storm is Coming

Ming Yao’s heart was flooded with myriad thoughts for a moment.

Still, she thought she’d better not jump to conclusions. If given the chance, she would have to ask that woman in the nun’s habit.

The nun reached the church door and suddenly realized someone had been following her. She turned to look.

Gazing upon Ming Yao, whose beauty was dazzling, a hint of confusion flashed in the nun’s eyes.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?"

The woman’s voice was soft and gentle, giving an impression of a spring breeze.

Directly facing the woman, Ming Yao noticed her eyes were clear and translucent, free of any impurities, as beautiful as a mountain spring.

Ming Yao curved her lips into a smile, "Hello, my name is Ming Yao. I followed you because you resemble someone I know. Her name is Shi Ying. Do you know her?"

"Shi Ying?" The woman’s brow furrowed slightly, followed by a shake of her head, "I’m sorry, I can’t remember much from the past. My current name is Snow."

Hearing the woman say she couldn’t remember much from before, Ming Yao’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Not being able to remember meant that she could very well be the real Shi Ying!

The closer she looked, the more Ming Yao felt that she resembled Shi Ying, even more delicate and prettier than the one she saw in Li City.

"Gu Siting, Yanxi, do you remember them?"

A trace of perplexity appeared in the woman’s clear eyes, "I’m sorry, I don’t have any recollection of their names."

The woman did not converse further with Ming Yao but turned and entered the church after offering an apologetic smile.

Ming Yao watched the woman’s departing figure, noting not only the resemblance in appearance but even the posture as she walked wasn’t much different.

She was certain that one of them must be an impostor of Shi Ying.

Returning to the hotel, Ming Yao tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

She felt that it wasn’t merely coincidental.

If the nun was indeed the real Shi Ying, then who was the Shi Ying in Li City?

Why did the DNA test report show that she was the daughter of the Shi Family?

The report was commissioned by Gu Siting, and it was impossible for anyone to have tampered with it!

Early the next morning, Ming Yao bought many things and headed to the church.

Ming Yao didn’t look for Snow but went straight to the church president.

The president was a woman in her fifties with a kind and benevolent face.

She warmly received Ming Yao.

After talking with her for a while, Ming Yao brought up Snow.

The president pondered a moment before saying, "I remember that year when it was snowing heavily. As soon as I opened the door of the church, I saw Snow lying at our doorstep, her clothes in tatters."

"She said she had forgotten who she was and begged me to save her. She was so beautiful, yet her amnesia brought her into crisis. She said she was always bullied when she was wandering, and she just wanted a place of refuge."

"Seeing her in such a pitiful state, I let her stay."

Ming Yao frowned, "Hasn’t she thought about going back to find her family?"

"She did, but in the vast sea of people, where do you start looking?" The president sighed, "As time went on, she also got used to life here. She said that spending her life this way was quite pleasant!"

Ming Yao pursed her lips, "Did Snow have anything with her when she arrived? She really resembles a friend of mine."

The president shook her head, "Nothing."

A faint sense of loss surged in Ming Yao’s heart.

As she was about to leave the president’s office, a soft and pleasant female voice called out to her.

"Miss Ming."

Snow had come over.

Ming Yao smiled and nodded to her.

"Miss Ming, after seeing you last night, I had a dream. I dreamt about an orphanage,"

A hint of joy surfaced in Ming Yao’s beautiful eyes, "Which orphanage?"

"I had a good friend there, but I can’t remember her name. It seems like I used to visit often."

"Did you dream of the name of that orphanage?"

"It seemed to be called Sunshine Orphanage."

The smile deepened on Ming Yao’s face, "That’s wonderful, Snow. The information you’ve provided is of great help to me. If possible, I would like to help you recover your memory."

A faint smile appeared on the ethereal face of Snow, "Let nature take its course. I won’t insist if I can’t remember. I’ve adapted to life here now!"

Ming Yao and Snow exchanged contact information. After finishing her work in Rome, she hurried back to the capital city without stopping.

After landing, Ming Yao saw it was early, so she navigated directly to Sunshine Orphanage.

When she was in Rome, she had already found that there was a Sunshine Orphanage in the suburban area of the capital city.

Ming Yao brought many gifts. After communicating with the security guard of the orphanage, she met the director.

The director took Ming Yao to her office.

Ming Yao took out a photo of Shi Ying and gently asked, "Director, do you recognize her?"

Upon seeing Shi Ying’s photo, the director nodded, "How could I not? She is Miss Shi, who often came to our orphanage."

"Did she have a good friend here?"

The director nodded, "Yes, her good friend is named Bai Ruo, born on the same year, month, and day. The little girl looks somewhat like her; it must be fate, right?"

Ming Yao’s heart skipped a beat.

"Director, may I see a photo of Bai Ruo?"

The director took out a large group photo.

Ming Yao didn’t let the director point her out; she almost instantly spotted the one called Bai Ruo.

Indeed, she resembled Shi Ying somewhat.

However, besides Bai Ruo, Ming Yao noticed someone else in the group photo.

Si Ye.

Ming Yao immediately pointed to Si Ye, "Is this Si Ye? What’s he doing here?"

This must be a photo of Si Ye when he was around six or seven years old. Although people’s appearances change as they grow up, those who are handsome, tend to look handsome from a young age. If you looked carefully, you could recognize him.

The director seemed surprised, "You know Si Ye? Indeed, he stayed at the orphanage for some time. He was taken away when he was about eight years old, and has never come back all these years!"

That meant Si Ye knew Shi Ying, or possibly Bai Ruo, from a long time ago.

Suddenly, Ming Yao recalled the first time she met Si Ye. That time, Gu Siting and Shi Ying came to the restaurant together, and Si Ye and Shi Ying acted like they didn’t recognize each other.

Was it because too much time had passed and they didn’t recognize each other, or were they pretending not to know each other?

Ming Yao also remembered Gu Siting’s speculation, and she felt a vague premonition that wasn’t quite good.

After taking a picture of the group photo, Ming Yao left the orphanage.

She got into the car and made a phone call to Gu Siting.

The phone rang several times, but no one answered.

Ming Yao was about to call Lu Zhou when a call came in from a Li City number.

Although she had long ago deleted Ming Guoan’s number, she quickly recognized it as his.

Typically, Ming Guoan didn’t dare to call her unless it was something important.

Ming Yao pressed the answer button.

"Yaoyao, did you take your grandmother to the capital city?"
