Chapter 1384: Chapter 1384

"Hehe, I’m just helping Wei’er keep an eye on Brother Tang Ming, aren’t I?"

Li Xiaoli grinned broadly, realizing her words were a bit over the top.

"Forget it, the college entrance exam is tomorrow. Let’s prepare well and not let him affect our mood."

Liu Mengting shook her head, trying to calm her emotions.

Tang Ming drove to the Jun Tianhao Hotel, where Chen Cang was waiting at the door with a mischievous smile.

"Why are you grinning like that? Shouldn’t you be at home preparing for the exam instead of running around here?"

Tang Ming looked at Chen Cang irritably.

"I can study in the office. If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have known a beauty is looking for you."

Chen Cang scanned Tang Ming with a mischievous grin.

"Get lost. Where is she?"

Tang Ming glared at Chen Cang and asked uncertainly.

"Relax, I’ve arranged everything. Tang Ming is still staying in the room you used to sleep in."

Chen Cang leaned closer to Tang Ming and handed him a box: "That girl came just in time, the exam is tomorrow, and she specifically came today to relieve your stress."

"Relieve your grandpa. Why are you talking nonsense, making those two young ladies misunderstand me again?"

Tang Ming glared at Chen Cang, frustrated: "There’s nothing going on between us; we’re just ordinary friends."

"Yes, yes, just ordinary friends who can sleep in the same bed; I understand."

Chen Cang laughed slyly: "Go on, a night of romance will boost your power, and you’ll sure get good results tomorrow."

"What kind of world is this? How come everyone’s mind is so filthy?"

Tang Ming couldn’t help but curse and then walked into the elevator, kicking out Chen Cang who tried to follow.

Arriving at the door of the suite, Tang Ming pressed the doorbell, and the door was promptly opened by Tang Ming in a pink casual outfit.

"You’re finally here. I’ve been dying waiting."

Tang Ming pulled Tang Ming into the room and locked the door.

"Hey, what’s going on with you?"

Seeing the setup, Tang Ming quickly asked, wondering if this girl really wanted something to happen, but wasn’t this too rushed?

"Of course, it’s to talk to you about something."

Tang Ming looked puzzled, then quickly walked to the sofa.

"Why did you suddenly come back? Where are your parents?"

Tang Ming asked cautiously: "Since you reunited with your parents, have things been good?"

Tang Ming responded without turning his head and said with a smile: "I’m doing well now; my parents feel they’ve owed me all these years, so they’re really good to me."

Looking at Tang Ming’s happy face, Tang Ming felt bitter inside. Both were orphans, yet she reunited with her parents, while he didn’t even know where his parents were.

Tang Ming sat down on the sofa, starting to rummage through her bag, smiling: "It’s not our first time meeting; why do you have that look?"

"Haha, I just thought of the scene when we first met, fearing you’d trick me again."

Tang Ming chuckled and sat on the sofa.

Back then, Tang Ming was hired by Sun Zhuangjia as a bar girl, tricking Tang Ming out of millions. He was still wary of this woman, one of the two women, besides Li Xiaoli, who could take advantage of him.

"Relax. I’m doing great now and long stopped being a bar girl."

Tang Ming gave Tang Ming a glare and said gravely: "I came looking for you because it’s related to your background."

Tang Ming responded curiously and looked at Tang Ming blankly: "My background, what’s it got to do with you?"

Tang Ming took out an old yellowish envelope from the bag.

Tang Ming received the envelope questioningly.

"It’s a letter, sent to my home from the orphanage. I thought it was for me, but after asking my parents, it turns out they didn’t write it."

Tang Ming explained with a serious look: "Moreover, the content mentions ’my child’, so I suspect this letter might be for you; the headmaster didn’t know your situation and thought ’Tang Ming’ referred to me, thus mailed it to me instead."

Tang Ming frowned, opening the envelope and complaining: "In this day and age, someone still sends letters? Why not go retro and use carrier pigeons instead."

"Check the date on this letter first."

Tang Ming laughed and reminded.

"What’s up with the date?"

Seeing the date, Tang Ming squinted and exclaimed: "A letter from eighteen years ago?"

"Exactly! It’s a letter someone wrote eighteen years ago, titled for my future child, operated by a company called Slow Time."

Tang Ming nodded and introduced: "I specifically researched this Slow Time company, it’s not a legitimate postal company but a rather mysterious one."

"What’s so mysterious about it?"

Tang Ming’s interest perked up.

"The company mainly deals in future delivery services, like sending items or letters to someone years later, with a minimum interval of ten years."

Tang Ming gestured and focused on the letter in Tang Ming’s hand: "This is an eighteen-year-old letter, delivered on a specific date to a designated recipient, the headmaster of Nanshan Orphanage being this letter’s specified recipient."

"That’s interesting."

Tang Ming nodded and quickly opened the envelope to read.

Soon, Tang Ming stood up, "Is this really my letter? Am I really an orphan from Nanshan Orphanage?"

"Most likely not wrong, the recipient’s name is Tang Ming; the old headmaster thought the sender wrote it wrong, mailing it to me, causing a time discrepancy, hence why I contacted you urgently."

Tang Ming nodded helplessly.

"So, my parents didn’t intentionally abandon me, but had compelling reasons."

Holding the letter, Tang Ming paced back and forth and excitedly said: "I knew it would be , no parents would heartlessly leave their child; it has to be this!"

The letter didn’t detail Tang Ming’s background but provided a crucial clue.

With this clue, Tang Ming must go to a place called Wangjiao Town near Songlan City within three days of receiving the letter, to meet a one-eyed old man who’ll tell him everything about his background. If Tang Ming wishes, he can follow the old man to meet his parents.

Additionally, the letter was filled with helplessness and pain, summarizing that his parents left him in the orphanage due to unavoidable difficulties and never intended to abandon him, hoping Tang Ming would forgive their past actions upon learning his background.
