After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

Chapter 2211 Extra 4

“Me? A great philanthropist?” Zhang Ran sat on the sofa, listening to Gao Yunfeng recount the orphanage, laughing so hard she almost fell over.

"Don't laugh while you're eating, kid, you might choke," Gao Yunfeng hurriedly reminded her. Even though Zhang Ran was in her thirties, she still saw her as a child.

Ten years ago, Gao Yunfeng received a call from the police informing her that Luo Laowu had colluded with someone to plant a bomb in Zhang Ran's urn, intending to kill her. She was both angry and heartbroken.

I'm so angry that I was blind to have chosen such a heartless bastard as Luo Laowu.

I feel so sorry for Zhang Ran. If she hadn't been so clever, she would have been killed by them. In a fit of anger, I changed my children's surnames.

Now Luo Wenwen and Luo Tianci have changed their names to Gao Wenwen and Gao Tianci.

Zhang Ran only learned about this after returning to China. She smiled and asked Gao Yunfeng, "So, are they willing?"

"Actually, it was Wenwen who suggested changing her surname first," Gao Yunfeng said truthfully. At that time, she was so angry that when she learned that Zhang Ran had left the country overnight, she felt guilty and chased after her abroad. Only after meeting her did she realize that Zhang Ran was not angry with her at all.

When Wenwen learned that her father had conspired with others to blow up Zhang Ran, but instead killed himself, she was furious. She not only demanded to change her surname, but also refused to acknowledge Luo Laowu as her father.

Gao Yunfeng went along with her wishes and even changed her son's surname.

After graduating, Gao Wenwen joined Qiao Xi's game company as a programmer, earning millions of yuan annually.

Gao Tianci remains withdrawn, but after so many years of nurturing with love, he is able to have brief conversations with people.

"I heard that my silly brother won an international award for his painting?" Zhang Ran recalled the promise she made years ago. "I'll have Xiaoqin transfer a shop in the commercial street to his name and hold an art exhibition for him. Have him paint a lot during this time, and when the exhibition is held, I'll bring a few friends to support him."

“You still remember?” Gao Yunfeng grinned. “I’ll tell him when I get back, he’ll be so happy.”

Gao Tianci was withdrawn and never attended any banquets, so he didn't come.

As for Gao Wenwen, she was working overtime at the company.

Qiao Xi left her with her job and came to the manor to attend the banquet.

Gao Wenwen was so angry that she called Zhang Ran to complain.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry," Zhang Ran comforted her, then turned around and asked Si Ni to prepare a contract to transfer five percent of the game company's shares to Gao Wenwen's name. Now that Gao Wenwen had become a shareholder, she was even busier.

Since the orphanage's first successful charity auction, it now holds an auction every month.

Some people worry about buying fakes at auctions, but you never have to worry about that at the Anle Orphanage auctions. All items auctioned by the master appraiser Jiang Nianmeng are guaranteed to be genuine, making them highly sought after by collectors.

Tickets to attend the auction were extremely difficult to obtain, as proof of funds was required in advance, and many people did not even have the right to enter the venue.

Master Jiang and his wife, along with more than a dozen apprentices, worked tirelessly for ten years to carve the raw stones that Zhang Ran had transported in several truckloads into various finished products, which filled the manor's warehouses.

Upon learning that Zhang Ran was returning to China, Jiang Nianmeng rushed abroad overnight.

Liu Ni stood in front of Zhang Ran, both amused and exasperated, and told her about Jiang Nianmeng: "Master was worried that you would catch him and treat him like a slave again, so he flew abroad overnight without even telling me which country he was going to."

Jiang Nianmeng personally presided over every auction and lived in the orphanage. As a result, she discovered that Liu Ni was very interested in antiques. At first, she just casually taught Liu Ni how to identify antiques. Later, she found that Liu Ni was very talented in this area, so she took her as her apprentice and personally taught her how to identify antiques and how to carve and forge them.

As Liu Ni grew up, her skills in appraising antiques also improved. In order to be lazy, Jiang Nianmeng handed over the work of the auction to her as well.

Of the girls, Gao Yunfeng liked Liu Ni the most because Liu Ni talked about Zhang Ran all the time, asking Gao Yunfeng if Zhang Ran was doing well abroad and when he would return to China.

Seeing that she had taken over Jiang Nianmeng's job and made the auction a great success, making her famous throughout the capital and even reaching other provinces, Gao Yunfeng began to groom her to become the next director of the orphanage.

Because an auction is held every month, antiques are not easy to find. When there aren't enough antiques, Liu Ni will put up one or two raw stone carvings for auction, and Shu Baozhu will also send a batch of jewelry.

All proceeds from the auction were transferred to a separate account under Zhang Ran's name. Fu Qin would verify and check the accounts every month before allocating funds to the orphanage.

Shu Baozhu has turned Daxia Gold Store into a chain store with stores all over the country. The stores not only sell various gold ornaments, high-end jewelry, but also precious watches.

Every month, she would select a batch of new jewelry and send it to the manor. Over time, it filled several guest rooms.

Zhang Ran doesn't like wearing jewelry. She casually gives it to people, letting Yang Tao and Fu Qin choose whatever they want. Sometimes, when someone has a birthday, these pieces of jewelry can be given as gifts.

Land in Beijing is incredibly valuable, and housing prices remain high, attracting many people eager to grab a piece of the real estate pie.

Over the past decade, Luo Youdi and Liu Yufei have sold a portion of their shares each year, and now they have sold off all of their shares, including Zhang Ran's.

The numbers in my bank account are endless; I could never spend them all in several lifetimes.

Liu Yufei sat on the sofa, raised her wine glass to Zhang Ran, and said, "After being a beast of burden for more than ten years, I am now free and at ease. From now on, take your sister with you wherever you go."

Zhang Ran raised her teacup, "It's more fun when sisters play together."

Luo Youdi sat silently to the side. She used to be busy as a dog every day, but now she is at ease at home. She is still a little unaccustomed to it. Fortunately, her daughter Gao Ying found a husband who lived with her and gave birth to a grandson. Now she can play with the child every day.

Upon learning that Zhang Ran had returned to China, Gao Ying was the first to say she wanted to come, but her child fell ill, so she had to take the child to the hospital and was unable to come.

Luo Youdi comforted her daughter, saying that Zhang Ran would not be going abroad again for a while after returning to China, and Gao Ying would have time to come over at any time.

When Zhang Ran learned that Gao Ying was unable to attend the banquet because her child was sick, she smiled and said, "Little Ying is too silly. She's young and doesn't know how to enjoy life."

Luo Youdi explained, "Originally, she never planned to get married in this lifetime."

The experience of being kidnapped by her own father in collusion with kidnappers when she was a child caused Gao Ying to completely lose faith in marriage.

During her holidays, she often went to the orphanage to play with Gao Wenwen, where she met an orphan and they grew up together as childhood sweethearts.

The orphan was exceptionally talented, excelling academically and diligently practicing martial arts.

Some people, envious of the huge real estate market, secretly sent people to kidnap Gao Ying, intending to use her to threaten Luo Youdi.

Even though Luo Youdi sent bodyguards to protect Gao Ying, the other party came prepared. A moment of carelessness led to Gao Ying almost being kidnapped. It was this orphan who risked his life to save her and Gao Wenwen from the kidnappers.

“…Xiao Ying fell in love with him and married him.” Luo Youdi changed the subject. “He was probably sincere towards Xiao Ying. He signed a prenuptial agreement and even bought himself an accident insurance policy, but Xiao Ying’s name was listed as the beneficiary.”

Zhang Ran neither confirmed nor denied it.

Although she didn't believe in love, she knew that love still existed in this world, like Arno and Dongchan, and Mu Mingqi and Xia Wei.

As for whether the orphan was truly sincere towards Gao Ying, we'll see decades from now. It's too early to draw conclusions now; people change.
