About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Ch'en Hui-jie initially attempts to focus on her work despite being drawn into the gossip regarding Wei Yanwu, while Lin Yuxia grows increasingly restless due to an unexpected meetup and her awkward past with Ch'en. As Orson finally arrives, he finds himself in a precarious situation, caught between Wei Yanwu and the Mouse King, who begin to question his character. Orson is trapped by their intimidating presence, leading to tension as they reminisce about more violent times. Despite attempting to explain himself, Orson becomes increasingly anxious about their interrogation-like approach. As the pressure mounts, Ch'en and Lin Yuxia step in to defend Orson, leading to a chaotic but protective dynamic that aligns them against the older men. Orson finally gathers the courage to state his intentions regarding discussing issues in Longmen, noting the city’s challenges with slums, which piques the interest of both Wei Yanwu and the Mouse King. Just as the conversation shifts, a surprise entrance by Jing Zhe, Orson's adoptive sister, disrupts the tension, adding confusion and bringing a new layer of dynamics to the meeting. Jing Zhe introduces herself awkwardly, failing to hide her true identity, which raises suspicion from Wei Yanwu and the Mouse King, who are intrigued by her boldness. The chapter closes with a delicate balance of power and alliances forming, as the older characters consider the implications of the unexpected visitors and their influence on the situation in Longmen.
