Chapter 1130: Adoption

Editor: Henyee Translations

Team Blue Whale rose to fame in a single battle, attracting a large following of fans. As a result, the amateur eSports competition they participated in was renamed the “Huge Whale Cup.”

After the Huge Whale Cup, Team Blue Whale transitioned from amateur to professional status, winning every domestic match without a single loss. Business endorsements and investments poured in, and within just two years, Team Blue Whale had claimed all the championships in China.

However, few knew that this legendary eSports team hailed from a small orphanage in Liang City. This background was why Gu Yang insisted that everyone be fully armed when participating in eSports competitions; she wanted to shield their private lives from public scrutiny and protect the orphanage from unwanted attention.

In recent years, short video platforms had surged in popularity, and numerous internet celebrities emerged. Team Blue Whale’s high profile meant that if anyone discovered their connection to Cloud Rising Orphanage, a flood of internet celebrities would likely invade the orphanage, disrupting the normal lives of the children living there.

When Gu Yang and the rest returned from the mountains to the orphanage, they found Director Liang showing a well-dressed, overweight middle-aged man around the premises.

...

Director Liang introduced him to the group. “This is Mr. Xu, the CEO of Liang City’s Beauty Clothing Fashion Company. He is infertile and wants to adopt a girl.”

Gu Yang and the others greeted him politely.

President Xu’s gaze swept across Gu Yang, Gu Jin, and Shen Qin, finally settling on Gu Yang, who stood in the middle. He smiled and said, “Director Liang, what’s this little girl’s name? She looks really cute.”

Among the three, Gu Jin was the most striking, but her short hair and black t-shirt gave her a cool, androgynous look. Due to her young age, she appeared somewhat genderless, leading those who didn’t know her to mistake her for a boy.

Gu Yang and Shen Qin, on the other hand, exuded an adorable charm.

Director Liang replied, “Her name is Gu Yang.”

President Xu smiled. “I think we should choose her. The other young ladies seemed afraid when they saw me. This one, however, is generous and looks obedient and cute. I like her.”

Director Liang hesitated, clearly reluctant to let Gu Yang go. She had long regarded Gu Yang as her daughter and couldn’t bear the thought of her leaving. Yet, considering President Xu’s background, she pondered the better life he could provide for Gu Yang.

“But Yangyang is already 11 years old,” Director Liang said. “Mr. Xu, aren’t you looking to adopt a younger child?”

President Xu waved off her concern. “Eleven isn’t too old. I think it’s just right. Besides, this young lady is more suitable.”

He turned to Gu Yang and coaxed her gently. “Yangyang, right? Would you be willing to come home with me and become my daughter? Our Liyi specializes in making clothes. I promise to give you beautiful outfits and let you live like a princess.”

Before Gu Yang could respond, her friends began to feel anxious.

Gu Jin held Gu Yang’s hand tightly, clearly afraid of her leaving.

Gu Yang gently squeezed her hand and smiled at President Xu. “Thank you for your kindness, but I can’t bear to part with my friends in the orphanage. I don’t want to leave.”

She felt uncomfortable under President Xu’s gaze.

President Xu was slightly taken aback, not expecting Gu Yang to reject him. “My family is very wealthy. Liyi is the largest clothing company in Liang City. I can’t have children, and I don’t have any other children.”

He continued, “If you come home with me, you’ll be Liyi’s only little princess. You’ll be able to ride in a luxury car, enjoy delicacies on the mountain, and attend an elite school. If you want, I can even arrange for you to study abroad in the future.”
