The rich Mr. Li's face fell, as if he was about to cry.
He had been eagerly awaiting this great opportunity, only for it to disappear abruptly, once, twice, thrice...
He turned his hopeful gaze towards Sikou Yao, hoping she would make an exception and take in his child too.
However, Sikou Yao couldn't open such a precedent for him.
Once this precedent was set, other families would seek favors through connections, how would she decline them then?
Sikou Yao simply ignored the plea in his eyes and instead called Ye Tianling, Huo Zhiyuan, Dong Xihe, and Tang Tiantian together.
She instructed them, "All of you should say your farewells to your families and friends tonight. Tomorrow morning at nine, come back here to the Ye Residence, and I will take you to the Sikou Palace together. Have you got it?"
Ye Tianling, Huo Zhiyuan, Dong Xihe, and Tang Tiantian nodded altogether and replied, "We've got it."
