Andy welcomed Bai Tianyu into the house and made him a cup of tea.
"Is there something you need from me?"
"Don't rush, I brought some breakfast, you eat first."
"I'll talk to you after I finish eating, it won't take long."
Bai Tianyu handed Andy the breakfast he had brought along the way, and said with a smile.
Two vegetable buns and a bag of soy milk.
"Thank you."
Andy took it and ate it in small bites.
Five minutes later, Andy finished eating and looked at Bai Tianyu expectantly.
She already had a general idea of Bai Tianyu's purpose in coming.
This is probably related to the matter she previously entrusted Bai Tianyu to investigate.
Seeing that Andy had finished eating, Bai Tianyu didn't keep him in suspense any longer.
Get straight to the point.
"We've found your brother, but his condition isn't very good."
"I hope you won't get too excited when you see him later."
"Let's go, let's get in the car first, I'll explain everything to you on the way."
After saying that, Bai Tianyu got up and prepared to go downstairs.
"Okay, then wait for me for a moment."
"I'll go downstairs after I've washed up."
Upon hearing that Bai Tianyu had indeed found her younger brother.
Andy could no longer contain himself and became extremely agitated.
But after looking down at her current appearance, she decided to change her clothes and wash up first.
"Ok, I will wait for you!"
Ten minutes later, Andy came out dressed in his usual business attire.
Bai Tianyu swore that this was the fastest he had ever seen a woman wash up.
Andy truly lives up to her reputation as a decisive and capable businesswoman.
"Let's go."
"it is good."
The two arrived at the underground parking garage and got into Bai Tianyu's car.
"This is your brother's information."
"To be honest, your brother has had some tough times."
Bai Tianyu took out a stack of documents and couldn't help but shake his head.
The details of He Xiaoming's experiences in the document are truly unbearable to read.
At first, he was similar to Andy; both were raised by others...
However, unlike Andy, He Xiaoming's situation is more serious. He dislikes communicating and has a mild communication disorder.
So the family thought of sending him back to the orphanage, but who knew that the orphanage would go out of business.
Left with no other choice, they threw He Xiaoming away.
As a result, the police sent it back, and then threw it away again. In short, it was done back and forth several times.
The family had no choice but to spend some money to put him in a nursing home.
That nursing home was the Daishan Nursing Home, now a welfare institution.
However, compared to people outside, the people in the nursing home treated He Xiaoming very well and took good care of him.
They also really liked He Xiaoming. The director of the welfare home, Xiuyuan, also said that he might just have autism, not a mental problem.
The report also mentioned that He Xiaoming has an excellent memory, especially for numbers.
By the end, Andy could no longer hold back his tears.
She recalled the scene from her childhood when she and Xiaoming memorized pi together.
Perhaps that's why he's so sensitive to numbers.
Her eyes instantly reddened, and tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks.
Upon seeing this, Bai Tianyu quickly took out a pack of tissues and handed it to Andy.
"Andy, calm down. I understand how you feel."
"I've made all the arrangements. You'll be able to see him once we get to Daishan."
Do you want him to see his sister crying?
Upon hearing this, Andy stopped crying.
Yes, she's about to see Xiaoming.
I can't let him see me looking bad. No, absolutely not.
"Tianyu, thank you so much."
"Don't worry, I'll thank you properly once I find Xiaoming."
Andy calmed herself down and looked at Bai Tianyu with gratitude.
Bai Tianyu waved his hand and said with a smile.
"It's nothing, we're friends. If you want to thank me, I have a financial company that's looking for a CEO. I wonder if you'd be interested?"
[PS: To help readers quickly recall the character, the current chapter features an image of Andy!]
Chapter 229: Andy's Nervousness
"Okay, I promise you!"
"As long as I bring Xiaoming home, I'll go to your company!"
Although Bai Tianyu's words were somewhat of a joke, Andy took them seriously.
She is a decisive and efficient woman who always repays kindness.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
"Ah."
The two agreed that Bai Tianyu would continue driving towards Daishan Welfare Home.
A few hours later.
It was nearly noon when the two finally arrived at the entrance of Daishan Welfare Home.
Looking at the bustling Daishan Welfare Home inside, Andy hesitated for a moment.
Bai Tianyu noticed that something was wrong with her and asked.
"What's wrong? Xiaoming is inside."
"I, I don't know."
"I'm getting a little nervous just thinking about seeing Xiaoming soon."
Andy didn't know what was going on, but the thought that Xiaoming might become mentally ill because of him made him even more anxious.
She became emotionally distraught and felt very guilty.
When she left the country, Xiaoming was still normal.
But now she is suspected of having a mental illness, and she believes that she must have been stimulated by something to become like this.
The guilt and self-blame she felt left her feeling utterly helpless.
Andy's appearance was somewhat heartbreaking, and Bai Tianyu was not an insensitive man.
He grabbed Andy's small hand and pulled her into his arms.
"Go ahead and cry, have a good cry and you'll feel better."
"I, you... Waaaaaah~"
Andy initially wanted to stay strong, but then she saw her younger brother looking rather pathetic.
But the loneliness and guilt she felt made her unable to hold back any longer.
She leaned on Bai Tianyu's shoulder and burst into tears.
Bai Tianyu held her quietly, gently stroking her back to comfort her.
After a long while, Andy finally stopped crying.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself."
I will pay for your clothes.
Looking at his clothes stained with his tears and snot, Andy said with great remorse.
"It's alright, as long as you're alright."
"It's just a piece of clothing, how can it compare to your good mood?"
"It's much better now, isn't it?"
"I'm sorry, I was a bit inconsiderate before. I should have let you have a good cry."
"I shouldn't have brought you to Daishan in such a hurry."
Bai Tianyu was focused on quickly winning over Andy, but forgot that He Xiaoming wasn't in good shape either.
They also ignored Andy's feelings.
