Chapter 743: Chapter 745 Maternal Home—Orphanage (Part 2)

“Weiwei, how many people are in your family?”

After getting back in the car, unable to resist Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, Lin Fei felt a sense of helplessness mixed with uncertainty, sighing inexplicably for a dozen seconds or so. Lin Fei, with a fierce gleam in his eyes, directed his question toward the woman.

His intent was to gather as much information as possible about the family of Ling Weiwei, this beautiful minister, to maximize his chance of making a successful first visit.

Although Lin Fei considered himself to have thick skin and decent verbal skills, if it involved dressing up in fine clothes and bringing expensive gifts, then Lin Fei certainly wouldn’t go to the lengths of asking Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, too many questions.

After all, similar experiences of accompanying women back to their maternal homes had already happened quite a few times with Chen Qi, the violent police officer.

It’s not that he was highly experienced, but he definitely had a stronger standing than those naïve newcomers who were making their first visit to meet their father-in-law with their women.

Unfortunately, with no valuable gifts on hand, even with all other desirable qualities that Lin Fei possessed, he still felt uneasy inside.

Mo Country is ultimately a land of etiquette, and the old saying “more gifts bring no harm” obviously wasn’t just idle talk.

If it weren’t for Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, repeatedly indicating that her family was special, Lin Fei would have surely forced her to turn the car around and head back to Zhonghai at this moment.

Lin Fei absolutely hated proceeding with visits when he felt unsure inside.

“There are many people in my family, and I don’t agree with you buying them expensive gifts precisely because of that. If you really were to prepare a substantial gift for each of them, you would end up spending a lot of money. You definitely don’t have that kind of money on you, and if I were to use my card, I’m afraid my several credit cards would burst.”

Lin Fei’s expression was unhappy, and Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, could clearly see it. Thus, using Lin Fei’s question, the woman patiently explained further to him.

However, the explanations from Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, clearly failed to soothe Lin Fei’s dissatisfaction.

After all, if the woman had said that it was because she was unsure of her family’s preferences to prevent Lin Fei from buying the wrong things and causing embarrassment, perhaps Lin Fei would have calmed down.

But reasons like fearing the expense seemed a bit far-fetched to Lin Fei, even nonsensical.

Despite that, he is a key figure in Hell’s Judgement Organization. If Lin Fei, such a character, couldn’t prepare substantial gifts for each of the family members of his woman, then there would be very few men in the world who could stand tall and accompany their women back to their maternal homes.

Although at this moment, given that Hell’s Judgement Organization’s influence hadn’t extended domestically, Lin Fei might seem somewhat incapable.

But let’s not forget, Lin Fei had a financially powerful CEO wife supporting him.

With Mu Shanshan, the ice-mountain CEO’s, terrifying financial power, if Lin Fei couldn’t bring out some substantial gifts, then Mu Group wouldn’t deserve its leading position among Zhonghai’s private businesses.

“Believe it or not, you will see it soon.”

Even though Lin Fei didn’t verbally respond to her, the understanding already established between them allowed Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, to read from Lin Fei’s facial expressions that he probably didn’t believe her at all.

Thus, the woman didn’t feel like explaining further to Lin Fei, thinking it was difficult to clarify some matters just by explanations.

Knowing this, Ling Weiwei pressed down on the accelerator, speeding towards her “maternal home.”

…

“This is your home?!” After getting out of the car with Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, and surveying everything inside the small courtyard, Lin Fei was visibly moved and almost instinctively questioned the woman.

However, after asking, Lin Fei immediately regretted it. Consequently, Lin Fei quickly said, “Weiwei, sorry, I misspoke. I didn’t mean anything by it; it’s just my poor memory—”

“It’s okay.” Interrupting Lin Fei’s apology, Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, responded with a gentle smile and affectionately linked her arm with Lin Fei’s, “No matter how others see it, this place is my home. Since my earliest memories, I have lived here. This place contains my entire childhood memories. Even though this isn’t where I was born and there is not even one blood relative of mine here, this is where I grew up. So, this place is my home, and it always has been!”

As Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, spoke these words to Lin Fei, her bright autumnal eyes shimmered with reminiscence and nostalgia, yet they also showed much gentleness—and pride!

Yes, pride!

An unabashed, unpretentious pride!

Although it was just an orphanage, that was precisely why Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, had every reason to take pride!

As a woman who grew up in an orphanage, Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, not only graduated from university successfully but also at a young age, had assumed the position of minister of the General Affairs Department of Mu Group.

Now, she even stood in for Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, to manage the vast Mu Group.

Within the current Mu Group, she essentially ranked below only one and above ten thousand.

She truly had every reason to be proud!

And nothing could hinder the pride of Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister.

Character, knowledge, capability, appearance, temperament, personality—Ling Weiwei excelled in all!

Regarding this fact, the vast Mu Group virtually had no one opposing or denying Ling Weiwei’s, the beautiful minister’s excellence!

She was indeed outstanding, especially considering she grew up in an orphanage.

Compared to ordinary people, she lacked too much warmth and care. But she was exceptionally outstanding in every aspect!

Disregarding these external factors, the fact that Lin Fei, a key figure of Hell’s Judgement Organization, was devoted to her was the best testimony of Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister’s, excellence!

Although she grew up in an orphanage.

Yet, it was precisely because of this that her excellence was even more pronounced.

She was an orphan and didn’t know where her biological parents were. For over two decades since her earliest memory, she had never experienced the love of her biological parents.

However, this did not impede her growth, nor did it become an obstacle to her excellence.

She didn’t know her biological parents, but that didn’t mean she had no home.

For her, the orphanage, embedded with her entire childhood memories, was her home.

Her one and only home…
