After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 234 - 229: Did you notice that he likes me?

The gates opened slowly, and a wave of familiarity hit her.

Every grass, every tree, every flower, and every leaf was just as she remembered.

"Hey, Miss!"

Seeing Ji Tian walk in by herself, he could no longer care whether it counted as trespassing or not, and he pleaded from behind, "Miss, let’s go out first. It wouldn’t be good to be seen, they might think you’re stealing something."

Ji Tian stopped in her tracks and saw a woman, gray and dusty, wearing an apron while sweeping maple leaves at the corner.

The woman was probably in her fifties, her hair mostly white from excessive labor, hunchbacked, sweeping bit by bit. Occasionally picking up old toys the children had thrown away in the yard, she would grumble, "Such good toys, why throw them around? I have to lecture them later."

She wiped the mud off the toy with her apron and placed it neatly on the windowsill.

When she saw two strangers coming in, she turned around in shock, "Who are you? How did you get in? What do you want? Don’t mess around, or I’ll call the police."

She said a long string of words without giving anyone a chance to interject.

Uncle Zhou was embarrassed, correcting himself, "Don’t be scared, we are not bad people. My young mistress just wanted to visit you. The door was unlocked, so she walked in."

"Visit me?" Jin Qiulian looked at Ji Tian doubtfully.

Just like that, the director of the orphanage in this world and the one from another world were the same; the only difference was that she didn’t recognize her, seeing only a stranger in her eyes.

"You know me? Do we know each other?" she continued to ask.

Ji Tian shook her head, "No, but you might remember me from when I was a child. I am Ji Yanshang’s daughter; I came here once as a child and let one of your people escape."

Remembering this incident, Jin Qiulian finally realized as she looked at Ji Tian’s eyes, slightly more mature than when she was a child, "Is it you?"

She looked Ji Tian up and down, Ji Tian was a head taller than her, she smiled, "Time flies; you’ve grown so much. When I first saw you, you were only this tall."

Jin Qiulian measured above her waistline with a happy smile, and Ji Tian also smiled along, looking at her with nostalgia, "Yes, time passes so quickly, just in the blink of an eye. I’m just glad you don’t blame me."

Jin Qiulian immediately understood; Ji Tian was referring to the little boy she had let escape, He had run off, and what could she have done?

He probably really wanted to leave the orphanage.

She didn’t know if he was still alive in this world or if he had found his family and lived happily; Jin Qiulian hoped for the latter.

"Jiang was four when he came here; he was only seven when he ran away. A child that young, I don’t know how he managed to live, but he never came back seeking refuge. I respect his decision; if he really wanted to leave, him running away would make him come back anyway, so child, this isn’t your fault."

In both worlds, she said the same thing.

Ji Tian felt that fate was truly like a circle; those who were meant to meet, would indeed meet.

Her gaze fell on the children peeking curiously at her through the window; they lacked fancy clothes, even dirty from play, and Ji Tian’s cleanliness made them hesitate to come closer, just watching from a distance.

Ji Tian smiled with her charming dimples, "So, to express my remorse, I’ve decided to donate supplies to the orphanage to improve the lives of the children here."

Jin Qiulian thought she had heard wrong and after pondering quickly waved it off, "No, no, Miss Ji, you are still young, don’t waste money. Let societal figures handle donations. Our orphanage also receives considerable attention and donations have never ceased. Thank you for your kindness."

"Director, don’t worry, this money is my own earnings, and I will continue to donate. Please accept it, these children need help and love. Director, as long as it helps them live better and nurtures them from a young age, we will have more contributors to society in the future."

Jin Qiulian hesitated; Dawn Orphanage was also just getting by, and she dreamt of raising these homeless children into pillars of the nation, to be helpful to society and the country.

After a moment of thought, she gritted her teeth and said, "Then I’ll thank you on behalf of these children. When they grow up, they’ll repay your kindness."

Ji Tian smiled with pursed lips, "Then, I’ll take your auspicious words."

She didn’t stay long before she left.

As she looked at a corner of Moon Bay near the Orphanage, she touched her chin, thinking, "Let’s turn this little place into an amusement park; that way, those kids won’t be lonely."

Uncle Zhou’s eyes filled with contentment, helping orphans and comforting lonely elderly; where could you find such a kind-hearted young lady?

At that moment, in his eyes, she was haloed with the light of an "angel."

While eating coconut rice, Ji Tian suddenly slapped her forehead, "Oh no, I forgot to ask the director who Ah Jiang is."

This matter was so bizarre, Ji Tian almost couldn’t distinguish whether, at that moment, the worlds collided, she deliberately let the person go, or two worlds were experiencing the same event.

But Ji Tian inclined to the former, like Ji Qilin’s world had coincided with hers at a certain moment.

She came to the Orphanage not just to seek the truth but also to help them as much as she could.

Just as Ji Tian planned to go back and ask Jin Qiulian again, she received a call from Ji Qilin the next second.

His voice was gentle, "Tiantian, come over here."

"Second brother? What happened?"

Ji Qilin’s voice remained calm, "You’ll know once you get here."

Worried, she finished at the Orphanage and headed to the institute.

Upon arrival, she was surprised to find Lin Shisheng there!

Why wasn’t she staying put at KI, and how did she end up at her second brother’s place?

When Ji Qilin saw Ji Tian arrive, he gave her a slight smile, "Take your boss away; she’s using meeting you as a pretext to poach from me."

Ji Tian: "..."

Lin Shisheng: "..."

She turned her head to look at Ji Tian, her pale face filled with innocence, "I didn’t; I came to conduct an experiment with you. The congenital heart disease project has been reinitiated because of you. I came to explain the KI procedure to you."

Ji Tian, at a loss for words, looked into her clear eyes, "Sister Shi Sheng, if I remember correctly, we do have each other’s contact details."

Hearing this, a blush appeared on Lin Shisheng’s pale face, dressed in a knitted white dress with a white wool coat on top, she looked as pristine as a snow doll.

She seemed to have a particular fondness for white, even wearing a fluffy white hat, which made her small face look even whiter than snow.

Seeing Ji Qilin conducting an experiment, she quietly said to Ji Tian with a smile in her eyes, "I’m actually here to see your second brother. Have you noticed that he likes me?"

Ji Tian actually took a serious look. Her second brother was a gentleman through and through, but up till now, his eyes only had room for work, entirely uninterested in personal desires. So, she honestly shook her head, "I didn’t notice that."

Her smile deepened a bit, as sweet and pure as gardenias, "Then, have you noticed I like him?"

Ji Qilin paused with the experiment sheet in hand, glancing at her elegant profile.
