After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 247: That Person’s Name Was Li Mu?

On the other side, Yu Li followed He Gui into the office, her eyes sweeping across the room's furnishings without betraying any emotion.

When He Gui turned around, Yu Li had already sat obediently on the sofa, looking well-behaved again.

"Yu Li, would you like some tea?"

Yu Li shook her head. "No need to go to the trouble, plain water is fine."

He Gui poured her a glass of water and set it in front of her, her tone gentle. "Have you been getting used to school life recently?"

This child rarely talks to me about things at school, so He Gui was honestly surprised that she had come back this time.

Yu Li smiled. "I've been adjusting well. It's just that there’s been so much going on at school, I’ve been trying to find time to come back."

He Gui paused briefly, then spoke in a soft tone. "The money you transferred to me… did that come from your boyfriend?"

Just a few days ago, Yu Li had suddenly transferred tens of thousands of yuan to her.

He Gui knew her kids well. For them to even get into college was already a feat, let alone cover their daily expenses—which were mostly funded by the orphanage. How could she suddenly come up with that much money?

She’d thought about returning it right away, but Yu Li explained that she had earned it from a part-time job and that she didn’t need the money anymore.

At the time, He Gui somewhat believed her. But now, after seeing Bo Jingmo, it was impossible to ignore the aura of someone from a wealthy background.

He Gui was starting to feel that something wasn’t quite right.

What kind of part-time job pays that well, that fast? Could Yu Li have been tricked?

She carefully chose her words. "Yu Li… even though we don’t have much, you—"

Before she could finish, the girl interrupted with a laugh.

"Aunt He, you're overthinking it. That money really was from a part-time job. I took on a tutoring gig, and the client paid me upfront. I sent it to you because I hoped you could get the kids something good to eat."

When the girl smiled, her fox-like eyes curved gently, and for a moment, there was a trace of familiarity. He Gui’s gaze faltered slightly.

How had she never noticed before… Yu Li looked a bit like Li Mu.

Snapping out of it, she quickly smiled. "That's good to hear, that’s good. I was just worried you’d been duped. And your boyfriend really is quite the catch—he suits you well."

"If Bo Jingmo heard you praise him like that, he’d definitely be over the moon," Yu Li replied with a smile.

Her gaze fell on the medals on the nearby shelf, her eyes glinting slightly. "Aunt He, there’s something else I wanted to ask you. Do you remember… what happened ten years ago?"

"Something that happened?"

"Yes." Yu Li looked away, picked up her teacup, and asked casually, "Or maybe… was there someone particularly unusual who ever appeared at the orphanage?"

The System had told her that the body she now inhabited was newly constructed—an exact replica of her real-life appearance, only aged a few years younger.

That being the case, Yu Li shouldn't exist in this world at all.

But Li Mu’s appearance contradicted that, making Yu Li begin to suspect that things weren’t so simple.

First the same face, then the same skills.

So, was it possible their backgrounds were the same too?

If Yu Li's identity was rooted in the orphanage, then the orphanage was probably hiding something.

Yu Li lowered her eyes in thought.

Ten years ago—that was when Li Mu had been around.

Based on the timeline, her current body would have been in her early teens, but in those memories, nothing significant had happened at the orphanage.

Was there a glitch in the data… or was the System hiding something?

Yu Li was leaning toward the latter.

Back when she first arrived, she’d noticed the System occasionally acted guilty.

But she didn’t mind. Her relationship with the System had always been one of mutual exploitation. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

Bo Jingmo had amnesia, and she needed him to find her boyfriend and uncover the truth about this world.

The System was just a system—it was never meant to be a partner she could trust.

Even so, it helped to mislead and manipulate the silly thing sometimes.

And luckily, the one she was bound to now wasn’t as shrewd as the Film Set System, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Now that she had a pretty good grasp of the situation and the System was starting to prove unreliable, it was time to take back control.

Li Mu was the key figure in all of this.

When Yu Li asked that question, He Gui was briefly stunned. "Ten years ago?"

That particular year was far too significant—how could she forget?

But didn’t Yu Li remember it too? She had been a teenager back then. She ought to recall something, right?

That thought flashed through He Gui’s mind, but she smiled instead and said, "Ten years ago—that was when the orphanage got renovated, wasn’t it?"

"Renovated?"

Yu Li lifted her gaze slightly.

This body of hers had no memory of that at all. As expected, the memories given by the System were flawed.

"Yes, don’t you remember? That was when you were able to go back to school. Not just you—all the kids got to return to school around that time."

"Really? Then I must’ve forgotten," Yu Li said with a smile. "Do you remember who the donor was back then? Now that we’ve grown up, we should repay them somehow."

"Ah, repay them…"

He Gui sighed and shook her head helplessly. "That probably won’t happen. I haven’t seen her since. But she did say she didn’t need anything from you kids. She’d probably be happy just knowing you all grew up well."

Yu Li lowered her head and took a sip of water, saying nothing.

After a moment, she asked softly,

"Was that person named Li Mu?"

He Gui froze, blurting out instinctively, "Didn’t you just remem—"

But before she could finish her sentence, a knock came at the door.

"Director, someone’s here—Mr. Xin Hao and Mr. Qi Cheng’an."

He Gui looked surprised when she heard those names.

"It’s actually them?"

She knew them too. Back then, they had been with Li Mu and had helped a lot with the renovation of the orphanage.

But it had been a long time since she’d seen them. Last she heard, they’d gone out of town for business. Why would they suddenly come back now?

Yu Li spoke softly from the side, "Why don’t you go ahead? I’ve asked everything I wanted to ask. I’ll just take a stroll around the orphanage later."

Even though the other woman hadn’t finished speaking, her expression had already given Yu Li the answer.

He Gui thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Right, didn’t you just ask about the donors?"

"Hmm?"

"Those two were donors too—worked with Li Mu. Would you like to meet them?"

That caught Yu Li off guard. Once it sank in, she raised a brow slightly. "Is that so?"

Well, wasn’t that a coincidence.

"If possible, then sure, I’d like to meet them."

She curved her lips into a subtle smile, her tone unreadable.

"After all, I’d like to thank them in person."
