In her past life, Cheng Su had long known that soone had sponsored her when she was very young, but she didn’t know who it was and had never t them. Not even a photograph. When she asked the orphanage director, she only said it was a kind-hearted person.
Every month, that mysterious Foster Parent would send a sum of money to the orphanage as her living expenses, but letters were rarely sent, probably only once every two or three months. There was no return address either.
So, she only knew of such a kind-hearted person, but still never knew who they were. She couldn’t even send a letter in return. Heaven knows, her replies filled an entire small box.
Now, she found herself saying she would sponsor Little Cheng Su. Could it be that she was sponsoring herself?
Cheng Su was so shocked she stepped back.
"If you sponsor, what’s their na?" Cheng Su asked hesitantly, her throat dry and hoarse.
"If the kind-hearted person wishes to sponsor this child, you can give her a na. Otherwise, we will give her one," the orphanage director said with a smile.
She was, of course, very welcoming of sponsorship because raising a child requires money and effort. The operation of this orphanage relied entirely on donations and making small handicrafts, or accepting donations from kind-hearted people in society.
And sponsorship can also be considered a form of donation, though it is to an individual. The orphanage receiving this money ensures the child’s living expenses, and any extra can be used for other children.
So, to repay the kind-hearted people’s kindness, if they like, they can rena the child, or even give the child their own last na. If they don’t wish to, then the child’s original na will be used.
But this child was sent over without any identity information, so she must have a new na given to her.
"Cheng Su, her na is Cheng Su!" Cheng Su blurted out.
As soon as she said this, tears welled up in her eyes and then spilled out.
What’s going on? How could this be? Had soone pulled her down the stairs, brought her back to this era, and she then found herself and sponsored herself?
She knew what Little Cheng Su’s future would hold, knew everything about her, and knew everything she would do when she grew up.
Is it possible that she went to that hotel and pulled herself downstairs? Otherwise, who would have found her and sponsored her? Who gave her the na?
Cheng Su’s head felt dizzy, her body swayed, and she staggered back two steps, grabbing a chair next to her for support.
"Kind person, are you alright?" The orphanage director saw her pale face and couldn’t help but ask.
Cheng Su shook her head, took a deep breath, and said, "I’m fine."
The orphanage director and the nun exchanged a glance, both thinking this kind person was very peculiar!
"What the kind person just said, is it true? Are you sure you want to sponsor this child?" The orphanage director continued the earlier topic.
Cheng Su nodded, gritting her teeth, "I’m sure."
No matter what the truth is, at this mont she only wanted to follow her heart. She wanted to sponsor Little Cheng Su, sponsor herself, let her grow, and let her succeed.
She wanted to show that even if they were abandoned, even if no one wanted them, they would live well, and they would live significantly.
Another thought was, if she hadn’t co, what would ultimately happen? Would she still exist? Would her future self still exist?
But now she’s here, she’s found herself, and she will let her achieve herself, allowing herself to truly exist.
Cheng Su’s heart trembled. She seed to see the truth, yet she felt the most real things were entangled in a chaotic ss, impossible to unravel.
