Chapter 1073 The Heroine’s Vicious Adoptive Mother (12)

Xiao Shichu was going to the clothing factory in South City to choose clothes. Before leaving, she made a special trip to the Sunshine Orphanage. When Li Yuanyuan found out, she insisted on going with her.

Dean Chen was very surprised when he knew that Xiao Shichu was going to South City. He said, "Xiao Xiao, you really have to go to South City too. That's great. Xiao Jie participated in a computer competition at school and won first place. His teacher is going to take him to South City to continue the competition. If you go too, can you please look after him?"

Xiao Shichu was suddenly happy when she heard this, and she felt that it was expected, because Xiao Jie had a very high talent for computers. If he participated in any competition, he would definitely get a good ranking, so she agreed immediately: "Okay, when is he going? Otherwise, I'll go with them."

"Oh, I forgot. Why don't you wait for Xiao Jie to come back from school and ask him." Dean Chen said embarrassedly.

"Okay." Xiao Shichu nodded. She was very happy to witness the rise of a genius.

"What computer competition did Xiao Jie participate in?" Li Yuanyuan asked curiously. Although computers have appeared now, they are not yet popular in China due to their high prices. They are only owned by intellectuals and relatively wealthy families. Li Yuanyuan's family has one, but she did not expect that a child in an orphanage could participate in a computer competition and win a prize. This is amazing because she had just visited the orphanage and did not see any computers. In other words, the child named Xiao Jie learned amazing computer knowledge and skills just by using computers in school.

Dean Chen smiled embarrassedly when he heard her question and said, "Xiao Li, I'm sorry, I'm old and I don't remember the name of the competition. If you want to know, you can ask Xiao Jie when he comes back."

"Okay, thank you, Dean." Li Yuanyuan said with some admiration, "Xiao Jie has achieved so much by just using the computers in school, which shows that he has a high talent in computers. My brother said that computers will definitely become a very important tool in the future, just like telephones and mobile phones now, no, they should be more powerful than them... Xiao Jie has a talent in this field, so there is no need to worry about his future."

Dean Chen was very happy when he heard her say that: "Thank you for your advice. Xiaojie is really smart. His academic performance has always been very good. He can learn anything at once. The teachers in the school like him very much. It would be great if he can have a bright future..."

While they were chatting, Xiao Jie and other children from the orphanage came back from school. When he saw Xiao Shichu, he was very happy and looked at her with his beautiful eyes shining: "Auntie Xiao, you came to see us?"

"Yes, I heard that you won some kind of competition and are going to go to Nancheng to continue competing, is that right?" Xiao Shichu asked, touching Xiaojie who was leaning his head towards him like a puppy.

"Auntie Xiao, have you heard about it?" Xiao Jie said shyly, "It's the National Youth Creative Programming Competition. I won the first place among the youth under 18 in our city. I will represent the school to go to South City to participate in the next round."

"Wow, you are so awesome! It's a programming competition, my God!" Li Yuanyuan has played with computers before and knows a little about computers. She knows that programming is not a skill that ordinary students can master. What's more, the child in front of her is obviously not fully developed and is still a long way from being eighteen years old, but he has already defeated so many teenagers who are almost eighteen years old.

Hearing Li Yuanyuan's surprised compliment, Xiao Jie felt even more embarrassed. He had never met Li Yuanyuan, so he was embarrassed to talk to her. He just stood behind Xiao Shichu shyly and secretly looked at her.

"Xiao Jie, your Aunt Xiao is also going to Nancheng to choose clothes during this period. When are you and Lao Shi going? If the time is similar, then go together. Then you won't have to be afraid of anything with your Aunt Xiao there." Dean Chen said anxiously.

When Xiao Jie heard her words, he was so happy that he didn't care about being reserved. He couldn't wait to ask Xiao Shichu: "Aunt Xiao, is this true? That's great! We are going to South City on September 20th, are you too?"

Xiao Shichu thought about it. There was still more than half a month until September 20th, but she was going to pick out winter clothes, so she was not in a hurry. So she said, "I can decide my own time. If it's the 20th, it's no problem. I'll go with you then."

"That's great!" Xiao Jie couldn't help but jump for joy.

"I'm going too!" Li Yuanyuan suddenly said, as excited as if she was traveling with Xiao Shichu. "I haven't seen how clothes are produced in a factory with my own eyes. Madam boss, please take me with you."

Xiao Shichu refused outright, saying, "You haven't forgotten that you are still a student, right? A senior in high school, and you actually want to skip classes and go to South City with me?"

"How can I say I skipped classes? I hired many tutors at home and I didn't fall behind in my studies at all." Li Yuanyuan said unhappily. Children from families like hers usually pursue elite education, and they would have learned this knowledge in high school long ago. Now they are just reviewing and waiting for next year's college entrance examination. Therefore, Li Yuanyuan, who attends a private high school, sometimes does not go to school, but studies at home with a tutor.

This is also the reason why she appeared in the orphanage with Xiao Shichu even though it was school time today.

"Do you think I'm going to South City for fun? Xiao Jie is going to participate in the competition, and I'm going to work. You'll only be in the way if you follow me. I don't have that much free time to watch over you. Besides, South City is a messy place with a complicated population. If you get kidnapped, I won't be able to explain to your uncle." Xiao Shichu said unhappily and rolled his eyes at Li Yuanyuan without any politeness.

Li Yuanyuan didn't want to give up at first, but after hearing her say that South City was in chaos and that some people had been abducted, she immediately gave up and asked weakly, "Are there really many people abducted in South City?"

"Of course it's true. You can read more newspapers over there. There are a lot of missing persons notices and notices for claiming unidentified bodies in the gaps between the newspapers." Xiao Shichu was not exaggerating. At that time, the economy of Nancheng had just started to develop rapidly, and many migrant workers came from all over the country. The population was complicated. Some were trafficked, some were shot in the head in the street, and there were fights between two gangs... All kinds of vicious social incidents emerged one after another. She was not trying to scare Li Yuanyuan.

Li Yuanyuan's face turned pale, Xiaojie was also frightened, looking at her nervously, even Dean Chen was shocked when he heard it: "Xiao Xiao, is Nancheng really so chaotic? Then you have to be careful, don't be careless."

Xiao Shichu nodded: "Don't worry, Dean Chen, I have been to South City many times and have experience. As long as we don't go to those chaotic places, generally nothing will go wrong. I have learned some moves, so I will have no problem protecting myself and Xiaojie."
