If the dean knew that Qiqi was also in Beijing and that they would meet, Gaodi would definitely come out with her.

The old dean has been talking about Qiqi a lot, he misses the little girl very much!

Upon hearing that the dean wasn't there, Qiqi's little face visibly showed disappointment.

But she quickly cheered up, her face brightening, "Teacher Luo, which hotel are you staying at? My mom and I will come visit you tomorrow!"

It's been a long time since I've seen the Dean, and I wonder how he's doing.

The elderly person has a heart condition and cannot fly, so they most likely came by high-speed rail.

The journey was long and arduous, and Qiqi was somewhat worried about the health of the Dean.

“We’re going back tomorrow,” Teacher Luo said, glancing at the time on her wrist. “How about I take you there now? It’s nearby.”

"Okay!" Qiqi nodded immediately. "Then, Teacher Luo, let's go find my mom together first!"

"Um!"

The group went to the mall together to find Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Huo.

Hearing that they were going to visit the old director, Madam Huo suggested that they go together.

Huo Yusen had already sent someone to purchase some gifts for the meeting, which were already placed in the trunk of the car.

These are all health supplements suitable for visitors, as well as some supplies for orphanages.

However, he filled in the orphanage's address with the supplies, so the mall can mail them directly to the orphanage without the director and others having to worry about it.

Seeing how thoughtful and considerate this little boy was at such a young age, Teacher Luo was deeply moved.

Sure enough, children from wealthy families are raised from a young age and their abilities in all aspects are far superior to their peers.

In comparison, the children of the same age in the orphanage, although more mature than ordinary children, are much weaker in terms of knowledge and ability to handle situations.

If only they could also receive a good education.

Teacher Luo was filled with emotion, but she also knew that this was simply impossible.

A large group of people went to the hotel.

When we arrived, we discovered that the place where the old dean and his entourage were staying, though called a hotel, was actually more like a guesthouse.

The old dean was used to being frugal his whole life. Even now that he doesn't have to worry about money, he is still reluctant to spend money on himself and would rather spend more money on the children.

On the way here with Qiqi and the others, Teacher Luo had already called the old dean.

Upon hearing that Qiqi was here and wanted to visit him, the old director was so excited that he didn't even feel tired. He immediately got up, put on his clothes, and went to the door to wait.

Seeing the convoy approaching in a grand procession, the old dean craned his neck, and as soon as the car stopped, he immediately stepped forward shakily to open the door.

"Grandpa Dean!"

Qiqi couldn't wait to unbuckle her seatbelt and stretch out her arms to the old director, wanting him to hug her.

"Oh my, my little Qiqi, have you missed Grandpa Dean?"

The dean picked up the little girl and lifted her up in his arms, noticing that she had gotten a bit heavier, before smiling.

It seems the little girl is doing very well in the Ji family!

But it makes sense. The Ji family is willing to give the orphanage a large sum of money every month because of Qiqi, so naturally they wouldn't treat her badly.

Qiqi hugged the old director's neck tightly and rubbed her face against his in a sticky, affectionate way. "Qiqi missed Grandpa Director so much!"

The old dean was the first person she saw when she woke up in this world.

She remembers that the sun was shining brightly that day. Before she could even react to what was happening, she was embraced in a warm hug.

A kind voice, tinged with sorrow, reached her ears: "Oh dear, what a tragedy! Who is it that would abandon such a beautiful child!"

Children abandoned at the gates of orphanages are usually either physically disabled or have illnesses.

Qiqi is the only one who is physically unharmed, and is also a smart, sensible, and adorable child.

If it weren't for her unpleasant way of speaking, she wouldn't have had to wait three months to be adopted.

The old director was a very kind and compassionate person who genuinely cared about every child in the orphanage and was concerned about their future.

Even though it was always difficult, I never thought of giving up.

Qiqi respected and admired him, and always remembered him.

The little girl's voice was soft and choked with sobs, which made the old director's heart ache.

He couldn't help but hug her tighter. "Grandpa misses Qiqi too! But seeing that Qiqi is doing well now, Grandpa is at ease!"

"Grandpa Dean, let me introduce you. This is my mother, this is Grandma Huo, and this is Grandma Huo's grandson, Huo Yusen, my little brother Jiu."

He had met Madam Ji, the former dean, but this was his first time meeting Madam Huo and Huo Yusen.

However, just by looking at their clothes, one can tell that they must be either rich or noble, and of extraordinary status.

The old dean greeted them and was happy for Qiqi.

In families like the Ji family, both the living environment and the people they come into contact with are far beyond what their orphanage could ever experience.

Qiqi will definitely have a bright and promising future.

While the grandfather and grandson exchanged pleasantries, Huo Yusen quietly went to the front desk to cancel the old dean's and his entourage's room, and then called a hotel under the Huo family's umbrella to book two new rooms for the old dean and his entourage.

We didn't book anything fancy, just a regular single room, mainly because we were worried the old director would feel uncomfortable.

However, even a regular single room is far superior to what this dilapidated guesthouse offers.

The old director was getting on in years, and with Qiqi's improved diet and faster digestion, she had gained some weight. After holding her for a short while, the old director started to feel breathless.

Qiqi quickly swung her legs, signaling the old director to put her down.

"Qiqi, I've changed the hotel for Grandpa Dean and Teacher Luo. It's right next door. Let's go to the room and sit down to talk!"

Upon hearing this, the old director waved his hands repeatedly, "No need, no need, I'm perfectly fine staying here, no need to move around, it's too much trouble!"

"No trouble at all, it's our own hotel, a simple call will suffice. It's free, no money required."

Huo Yusen treated Qiqi's beloved person with great respect, like a junior respecting an elder. "Grandpa Dean, if you really stay in a place like this for one night, Qiqi will be worried sick. You wouldn't want her to come here to stay because of worry, would you?"

It must be said that Huo Yusen's words truly hit the old dean's weak point.

He was willing to suffer himself, but he couldn't bear to let his "child" suffer any injustice.

"Oh well!"

The old dean reluctantly compromised, and the group went to the Huo family's hotel next door.

Upon entering the room, the old dean couldn't help but sigh and feel uneasy after glancing at the surroundings.

I feel like I've caused Qiqi trouble!

Qiqi noticed the old dean's mood and quickly clung to him to distract him.

"Grandpa Director, I haven't been back to the orphanage in a long time. I miss Xiaopang and the others so much. Tell me quickly, how are Xiaopang and the others doing lately? And Tingting, Dabao, and everyone else in the orphanage..."
