The more mysterious Yun Jian was, however, the more it made Shan Zihao want to uncover her secret. In short, Shan Zihao’s interest in Yun Jian had only increased.
Hearing Pete’s amusing statement, Yun Jian pressed her lips and chortled, “I won’t do it anymore.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe then looked at Pete. “What about you? Why are you here in Longmen City?”
“Me?” Being the subject of the conversation now, Pete chuckled and pointed at himself to say with a smile, “My grandma’s from Longmen City. I got lost when I was a kid and spent my childhood in an orphanage too.”
“Although my time in the orphanage couldn’t even compare to what I went through after that, the starvation was the worst time of my life to me.”
“Since then, I donate all the money I make to the orphanage. Longmen City’s my grandmother’s hometown, so I’ll have to make an exception and donate here first of course!”
As he spoke, he shrugged and continued a little glumly, “My mom’s from Hui En Children’s Welfare Home, actually. She got ill from being malnourished as a child, so she passed away from cancer at a young age.”
“By the time I found my way back home, she’s no longer around. My grandma’s the only one left.”
The family of Pete’s grandmother did not do well back then. Having a lot of children but struggling to make ends meet and even feed them, Pete’s mother was sent to Hui En Children’s Welfare Home as an ultimate solution in hopes that she could at least survive.
Hui En Children’s Welfare Home did not provide sufficient food, so the kids there grew up in hunger.
Pete’s mother managed to succeed when she grew up and met Pete’s father once when she was traveling abroad. The latter was from Country Y but Pete’s mother did not mind the challenges a long distance relationship posed, insisting to be together with the man.
They could have lived happily ever after as a family but Pete’s mother fell sick. It was cancer, caused by malnourishment and starvation back when she was in the orphanage. She passed away not too long after that. action
Pete’s grandmother from his father’s side was a snob. She had always thought that Pete’s mother did not deserve her son. While Pete’s father spiraled down in sorrow after Pete’s mother passed away, Pete’s grandmother on his father’s side abandoned Pete to an orphanage in Country Z.
Pete had a hard time in the orphanage. It was later that a master took him away and taught him his stealing technique that sharpened throughout his lifetime. With Pete’s hard work, that was how he became the current international Grand Thief—Mr. Pete.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was also a biracial child of parents from Country Z and Country Y.
Needless to say, Pete did not disclose that he was the Grand Thief in front of Shan Zihao, merely generalizing the situation and summarizing what he had been through with similar tales.
Yun Jian was a little moved from hearing Pete’s story while Shan Zihao was rather sympathetic to the man.
Anyway, Pete was a talented man. Back when his master taught him the skills, the most it could do was help him become a national grand thief. It was his innate gift and his diligence that boosted him into becoming an infamous Grand Thief of the world.
Shan Zihao thought that Yun Jian would cry after listening to Pete’s story since girls would usually cry when they heard touching tales but when he turned to look at her, he saw her telling Pete something entirely different from his imagination.
“Work for me. You can name your payment,” Yun Jian squinted as she said. Her confidence surprised Shan Zihao.. Even Pete was staring at her in shock.
