In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong

Time flew by and it was July 2nd. On this day, Fu Ziyan rarely failed to accompany her father for a morning run.

Wearing a simple white dress and no jewelry, save for a simple black watch on her left wrist, Fu Ziyan, after a breakfast of shrimp noodles, boarded a private car and headed to the Central Pier. She was to catch a ferry to Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island.

Before leaving, Fu Qiyuan asked Fu Ziyan with concern, "Titi, do you really not need your father to accompany you?"

Fu Ziyan shook her head and said, "I can go by myself. Dad can go to the company." Some things have to be done by yourself.

Besides, Fu Qiyuan has been very busy lately. He needs to take care of official business in advance, as they will be leaving for the United States the day after tomorrow. There is no need to bother him to accompany her to the temple to pay tribute to her adoptive parents.

Fu Qiyuan nodded, without saying anything more, and only said, "Bring your bodyguards with you and be careful."

"Okay." Although she was in a bad mood that day, she never forgot that safety came first.

On this day last year, she experienced a bolt from the blue.

That day, she received the news that her adoptive father Wei Sheng, who was the first person to give her love when he came into this world, had passed away. At the same time, she also received the news that her adoptive mother, who had grown up with her, had died suddenly.

Fu Ziyan had been stunned, confused, and deeply saddened, but when the grief faded and she faced the reality, all Fu Ziyan could do was to light a perpetual lamp in the temple for them on their anniversary every year.

Her life will not be trapped in the past.

But she will always remember the voice, smile and appearance of her adoptive parents Wei Sheng and Lu Chunyue, and the love and warmth they brought her.

There was no specific date for the death of her adoptive father Wei Sheng, and the couple passed away at a similar time, so Fu Ziyan simply decided to celebrate today as the anniversary of his death every year from now on.

Fu Ziyan went to the Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island for the simple reason that it was said to house eminent monks with profound Buddhist teachings. She didn't know if this was true, but she sought peace of mind.

Po Lin Monastery boasts a towering gate and magnificent architecture, with vermilion doors and green tiles, a splendid atmosphere, and a lush, ancient charm. With a constant flow of visitors, the monastery truly lives up to its reputation as "the foremost of Hong Kong's four great Buddhist temples."

Fu Ziyan's purpose of coming here was very simple. She wanted to light a perpetual lamp and ask the master to chant Buddhist scriptures for her deceased adoptive parents, hoping that they would have a smooth and peaceful life in the next life.

Money can be used anywhere, including in temples. Moreover, the main hall had just been rebuilt and was in need of money.

After Fu Ziyan donated a large sum of money, the abbot of Po Lin Monastery guaranteed the daily prayers and burning of incense and candles for "Wei Sheng and Lu Chunyue".

Fu Ziyan didn't know what she could do for the deceased, but at least when it came to Buddhist prayers and blessings, she would never let her deceased parents lag behind others.

Besides offering prayers and offering sacrifices, Fu Ziyan also planned to donate money to an orphanage in Hong Kong, in the names of Wei Sheng and Lu Chunyue. Doing good deeds is a form of merit, and she hoped these merits would help them reincarnate sooner and have a smoother next life.

Fu Ziyan did not donate money to the most famous Anglican St. Christopher's Home. It is indeed the largest orphanage in Hong Kong, but precisely because of its size, it is not short of donations compared to other small orphanages.

She chose to donate HK$300,000 to an orphanage in Kowloon called Yanxin Orphanage.

It's not that she couldn't donate more, but the orphanage couldn't take it in. It was just a medium-sized orphanage, with only 43 children, both young and old.

Although Fu Ziyan's income and expenditure were high, with dividends in the millions and a spending of over 200,000 Hong Kong dollars on her first date at a French restaurant, it might seem like a small fortune. However, in reality, 300,000 Hong Kong dollars was a considerable fortune in Hong Kong at that time.

It is enough to provide food and clothing for the children in the orphanage and their caregivers for a whole year, including all living expenses such as tuition fees and maintenance of the orphanage's buildings and equipment.

More often than not, it is not charity but harming people.

The director of the orphanage was a middle-aged woman with a round face, relaxed brows and a kind and gentle expression. Upon learning the amount of Fu Ziyan's donation, she was very excited and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Fu. I thank you on behalf of the children in the orphanage."

Although Miss Fu is not very old, a benefactor is still a benefactor, regardless of age!

Fu Ziyan shook her head slightly. "No need to thank me. I'm glad I could help you. Also, I donated this in the name of Mr. Wei Sheng and Ms. Lu Chunyue. If you really want to thank someone, thank them."

"It's my duty. I will tell the children that this is a donation from Mr. Wei Sheng and Ms. Lu Chunyue. Although the children are young, they all have a grateful heart." The dean's eyes were full of sincerity.

Although there are donations from kind-hearted people in the society, there are still quite a few children in the orphanage, and the orphanage can only rely on donations and the money earned from OEM for factory products to maintain its normal operation.

However, the economic situation this year is not good, the amount of donations is not much, and the profit from OEM products is also mediocre, which is a time when income is not enough to cover expenses. Now this large donation brought by Miss Fu is really a timely rain.

The dean’s gratitude comes from the heart!

After visiting the orphanage, Fu Ziyan knew that their situation was indeed not good, but every child was well educated. So she reassured the director, "If everything goes well, I will donate a reasonable amount to the orphanage every year at this time. You can rest assured that they will be enrolled in school and receive medical treatment."

What Fu Ziyan meant by "moderate amount" was truly moderate, not too much, just enough for food and clothing. Most of the donations this year were made because it was the first time and the orphanage's situation was indeed bad.

The children in the orphanage should learn to be self-reliant and self-reliant, instead of blindly donating money to support the entire orphanage for the sake of "charity" or "merit". That is tantamount to flattery and will only ruin them.

The director's face flushed, and she was so shocked by Fu Ziyan's news that she thanked her repeatedly. She also tactfully said that there were occasionally babies at the door of their orphanage, and these children had basically taken her surname before. To express her gratitude, the next children could take the surnames Wei or Lu.

Fu Ziyan did not refuse the dean's kindness.

She was the only descendant of Father Wei and Mother Lu, and she felt rather lonely. If there were some orphans bearing their surnames, it would seem more lively, a house full of descendants. At the very least, there would be more people in this world who would remember them.

Of course, even if they were given surnames, it didn't mean they were the adopted children of Wei Dad and Lu Mom. Fu Ziyan was just doing charity work in the name of her parents to accumulate merit, but that didn't mean she would be responsible for these orphans, including the children with surnames.

Doing charity is doing charity, but she has no intention of adding burden to herself!

Even more so, if the children of this orphanage grew up to be ungrateful, then Fu Ziyan would naturally donate to another orphanage to gain merit! She didn't owe them anything.

The morning passed very quickly. Fu Ziyan left home early today, but after visiting the temple and the orphanage, it was still half past twelve.

I was busy praying for my deceased adoptive parents, and now that I was done with that, I realized I was hungry.

This place is not far from Yau Ma Tei and has the most snack shops. Fu Ziyan simply went to a small shop in Yau Ma Tei to have a quick lunch.

After lunch, Fu Ziyan took the ferry back to Fu's house.
