The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1167 - 1136: Off to School

The old woman cursed under her breath, but she knew she had been beaten this time.

"It’s true, every word of it," the old woman said. "I really didn’t know anything about the child’s origins, I just thought she was good-looking, and since she was alone, I took her away."

Had she known that wretched girl would cause such trouble, she wouldn’t have bothered with her, leading to her and six others ending up in jail. Given their past deeds, they would probably face many years of imprisonment.

Old Chen and Xiao Liu felt they didn’t have a single clue.

They wanted to get some clues from Little Rotating Turtle, but Little Rotating Turtle simply wouldn’t talk to them, so as of now, they had no leads whatsoever.

The families of the recently lost children had been found.

Two were still missing, but the children they lost were boys, not girls.

For the time being, due to the lack of clues, Little Rotating Turtle continued to stay at He Tiantian’s home.

Old Chen, Xiao Liu, and the others would often come to check on them; this went on for two weeks.

So, during a visit from Old Chen and Xiao Liu, He Tiantian made a request.

"Captain Chen, Xiao Liu, we are all very concerned about Xuanxuan. She has now recovered, but she can’t remember her past," He Tiantian stated, settling all issues with a mention of memory loss.

"Yes, we haven’t made any progress on our side either," Old Chen frowned. "It’s unclear how this child suddenly appeared in that demolished area. Logically, she should be from Yanjing City, but we just don’t have any clues." frёewebnoѵēl.com

"We wish someone would come forward to recognize the child, but when we ask them to provide photos, they’re definitely not of Xuanxuan," Xiao Liu explained, to avoid the risk of a second abduction, so they were extremely cautious.

He Tiantian nodded and said, "Right, that’s exactly what should be done. After all, Xuanxuan is quite attractive; if someone with impure motives wanted to claim her as their daughter, that would be troublesome."

"Exactly, our captain said the same thing, to protect Xuanxuan as much as possible," Xiao Liu agreed wholeheartedly.

"Thank you, Captain Chen," He Tiantian smiled, very much affirming Old Chen’s actions.

With this approach, Little Rotating Turtle would not be misclaimed, and she could continue to stay at her house.

"We are people’s police, it’s our duty," Old Chen said. "But now that the child has recovered somewhat, although we can’t find her parents, she’s not that young anymore and should go to school."

He Tiantian agreed, saying, "My cousin and I have discussed this before. We want to find a school for Xuanxuan. I’ve also tested her on some subjects, and she seems to be at a second-grade level. She can attend the school nearby, which is where my three children also go to. That way, they can go to school together, and she can have someone to look out for her in school."

Old Chen nodded and said, "Alright, we’ll take care of the necessary paperwork and should be able to bring it over the day after tomorrow."

"Actually, it’s fine, I can handle it myself," He Tiantian said, not expecting it to be so easy.

"No, it’s okay, our side is a bit more formal, and you won’t have to ask someone else for help," Old Chen said, noticing how Xuanxuan happily played with three other children in the yard, which also gave him peace of mind.

"Then I’ll have to trouble Captain Chen," He Tiantian expressed her thanks, appreciating how much Captain Chen cared for the child.

When Old Chen and Xiao Liu left He Tiantian’s house, Old Chen couldn’t help but sigh and say, "Actually, even if Xuanxuan can’t find her parents, she can still live well here and grow up safely."

"Yes, Teacher He treats all the children equally," Xiao Liu said, knowing not all families could do the same.

Old Chen nodded and added, "Still, we have to continue searching. If we can’t find them, at least we tried our best."

Since Old Chen had cracked a major case, there were rewards from higher up, and it was likely he would be promoted soon. With the promotion, perhaps it would be easier to find Xuanxuan’s parents.

Later, Old Chen brought Little Rotating Turtle’s temporary household registration, which used the surname of the Huo Family.

Huo Xuanxuan!

The name sounds quite nice.

Little Rotating Turtle felt a bit nervous about going to school and asked, "What if I can’t learn well?"

He Tiantian comforted her, "You remembered all those complicated runes, so you can definitely remember school stuff too. If you don’t understand, you can ask your brother, sister, mom, or uncle."

Because of her identity, Little Rotating Turtle is now considered a generation younger than Snake King.

However, Little Rotating Turtle harbored no resentment towards others, after all, she took the form of a child when she transformed!

In order to better integrate into modern life, although she felt a bit uncomfortable, Little Rotating Turtle was willing to accept it.

"It’s okay, don’t be scared, sister. If there’s something you don’t know, I’ll teach you," Huo Ruimin said, taking her sister’s hand and walking her to school.

He Tiantian could only take the child to the main entrance, while Huo Ruimin and Huo Ruihua personally escorted Huo Xuanxuan to her classroom door, greeted the teacher loudly, making sure almost all the classmates saw that the new student, Huo Xuanxuan, was not alone—she had support from the upper grades.

That way, the other kids wouldn’t bully the newcomer.

At noon, He Tiantian couldn’t help worrying about the child, so after her training ended, she rushed over to pick her up.

After school, Huo Ruimin took her brother with her to pick up Huo Xuanxuan.

"Xuanxuan sister, over here," Huo Ruimin called, "let’s go home for lunch."

Then the three of them met up with Huo Xiaosan under the big tree and left the school together.

"Sister, did you understand everything in class?" Huo Ruimin asked, "Did anyone bully you? Is the teacher nice to you?"

Huo Ruimin bombarded her with a string of questions, showing how much she cared for Huo Xuanxuan.

Huo Xuanxuan smiled, finding it easier than expected, and replied, "I understood, no classmates bullied me because they know I have brothers and sisters—they wouldn’t dare. The teacher likes me, too, because I answered all the questions correctly."

"You’re really awesome, sister," Huo Ruimin said, "Let’s go, we’ll go home and eat something delicious."

At the school gate, He Tiantian was already waiting for them.

Seeing the children approach, she waved to them.

The four children ran over and got into the car with He Tiantian, heading home.

When they arrived home, the meal was ready. After the children had eaten their fill, they were allowed to play at home.

If it were summer, the children would be encouraged to take a nap, but since it was cold, napping could easily lead to catching a cold and with limited time, taking a nap wasn’t a good idea.

In the afternoon, when the time came, He Tiantian took the children to school and went to the sports center herself.

Thus, Huo Xuanxuan settled into He Tiantian’s home.

Although Old Chen kept searching, he never found what he was looking for, so the matter was left as is.

Once the time was right, He Tiantian would be able to formally apply to adopt Huo Xuanxuan and truly become a family.

When the weekend arrived, He Tiantian took the four children to the old house.

Old Madam Huo was very happy to see that He Tiantian had adopted a little girl.

Seeing the Huo Xuanxuan that He Tiantian had adopted, Song Chunli was green with envy, sighing, "Oh dear, such a sweet girl. I want to adopt a granddaughter too."
