Chapter 53
Grandma Wang had a strong reaction.
"Why do you have the right to send my grandson to his maternal grandmother's?" she glared angrily at Xu Gui and questioned.
Xu Gui looked at her, chuckled, and asked, "Don't you want to send your grandson to his maternal grandmother's house?"
She said casually, "That's fine too. Anyway, it won't be long before everyone in your neighborhood knows that your grandson is mentally ill, and that your Wang family has a madman. As long as you don't mind being talked about after this gets out, it's fine."
Xu Gui's words really hit a nerve with the Wang family mother and son. Because of their ancestors' past glory, the mother and son valued the Wang family's reputation very much, so they also placed high hopes on Wang Lingxing, the only "grandson" of the Wang family.
In their view, since Wang Lingxing is the heir of their Wang family, he must bear the expectation of revitalizing the past glory of their Wang family, and he must work hard and do better than anyone else.
Now, their only hope has been "damaged," and it may even affect the reputation of their Wang family, something neither of them wants to see.
"Right now, everyone only knows that Wang Xingxing has depression, which isn't serious and can be cured simply by going out and relaxing (according to outsiders). But if they knew that Xingxing actually has schizophrenia..."
Xu Gui paused at this point, which immediately made the hearts of Wang's mother and son jump.
"Then your Wang family is truly going to lose face. Everyone knows that your Wang family has produced a madman. Do you think anyone will still want your family to come here in the future?"
Xu Gui shook his head and sighed: "Who knows, back then, when people mentioned your Wang family, they weren't referring to the Wang family in a certain place, but rather the Wang family whose child was crazy."
As she said this, she gently patted the back of Wang Lingxing's hand, with a comforting tone.
Wang Lingxing looked down at that snow-white, delicate hand and pursed her lips.
Grandma Wang felt breathless whenever she thought of the scene Xu Gui described.
"What exactly do you want?" Her lips twitched as she stared intently at Xu Gui, gritting her teeth as she asked, "Our Wang family has no grudge against you, so why do you insist on opposing us?"
Xu Gui blinked, feeling that he couldn't bear such a crime.
"Let me correct you, I didn't mean to go against you. I just took your money, ma'am, and came here specifically to help you solve your problem."
Xu Gui was dissatisfied: "She works so hard and is so diligent!"
To this, Grandma Wang simply scoffed, "Heh."
If she had known that inviting Xu Gui up here would lead to this outcome, she would never have spent the money. Now, she is seething with anger, unable to swallow it, and looks like she wants to tear Xu Gui apart.
Thinking back, if time could turn back, she would definitely stop herself from going to Xu Gui for a fortune telling.
Xu Gui pretended not to see the old lady's resentful eyes.
"Actually, you know better than anyone else that your child isn't possessed by an evil spirit or a ghost. He's simply sick; he has schizophrenia. So, you should also know very well that no matter how many masters you bring in, it's impossible to expel this 'ghost' from him..."
After all, there has never been such a thing as a "ghost," so how could anyone drive it away? This is a sickness.
"Since you, old lady, are worried that his illness will damage the reputation of your Wang family if it gets out, why don't you take advantage of this now, before the news spreads, and send him away?"
Xu Gui spoke earnestly and persuasively, his tone seemingly carrying a hint of coaxing.
She said, "That way, no one will ever know about this, right? I think Mr. Wang is still young. At this age, it's not too late to have a second child. Then you won't have this problem now, will you?"
Xu Gui's words were too tempting. The old lady of the Wang family showed some interest on her face, especially when she heard Xu Gui say "second child". The interest on her face was really hard to hide, and she even had a sense of sudden enlightenment.
“Yes!” She looked at her father happily and said, “Ah Zhang, you and Xiao Yu are still young, it’s not too late to have a second child! How come I never thought of that before?”
At this moment, she didn't even glance at her grandson, Wang Lingxing, again.
When Wang Lingxing heard this, although he had expected it, his face still darkened.
But just then, a hand reached out and gently grabbed his hand. Wang Lingxing was startled and subconsciously looked at Xu Gui. Then, he unconsciously tightened his grip on the hand, the tightness like that of a drowning person grabbing the last piece of driftwood.
He pressed his lips together tightly, tears welling up in his eyes. He blinked hard to hold back the tears.
The conversation in the living room continued.
Hearing Grandma Wang's words, Father Wang glanced at Wang Lingxing and said, "Wouldn't this be a bit inappropriate?"
“What’s wrong with him?” Grandma Wang said. “Look at Xingxing now, what hope can we have for him in the future? Don’t you have to think about the future? When you get old, are you going to take care of him?”
Grandma Wang's eyes lit up as she said, "Only if you have another child will you have hope for your old age, and only then will our Wang family have a future!"
The person filming listened, thinking, "How can you be so sure that this second child will be healthy from birth?"
Given the family atmosphere in the Wang family, he was afraid that the child would be a second Wang Lingxing.
"Can't you speak properly? How can you curse people like that?" Grandma Wang suddenly became angry, glaring at the person filming and saying, "Our second child is definitely healthy and has no problems whatsoever!"
The photographer belatedly realized that he had blurted out what was on his mind. He gave an awkward smile, then shut his mouth and remained silent.
Xu Gui looked at Grandma Wang and said, "What do you think? Isn't my idea pretty good?"
With other thoughts in mind, Grandma Wang's heavy mood eased considerably. Looking at Xu Gui, she no longer had that expression of looking at an enemy, but rather some confusion. She asked, "What benefit do you get from doing all this?"
She was asking Xu Gui about everything she had done for Wang Lingxing, and she didn't understand why Xu Gui had gone to so much trouble.
Xu Gui thought for a moment, then shamelessly boasted, "That's probably because I'm a soft-hearted person and can't bear to see children suffer!"
Sigh, there's nothing I can do. She really is a kind-hearted turtle. If the Third Elder saw her like this, he would definitely praise her.
Xu Guimei was delighted and felt very happy, thinking he was great.
As a kind-hearted turtle, she planned to take Wang Lingxing away right now.
"Take him away? Where do you want to take him?" Wang's father asked, his brows furrowing.
It seems that he still has some feelings for his son, Wang Lingxing, though not many.
Xu Gui said, "I plan to take him to the orphanage where I used to live first, and then call his grandmother to come and pick him up..."
In short, she will not keep Wang Xingxing here.
"I'm doing this for your sake," Xu Gui thought to himself, but said something else entirely.
She said in a seemingly reasonable tone, "Now that your neighbors know he's sick, they'll probably come over under the guise of visiting him soon. If Xingxing has an episode then, the whole neighborhood will know that your Xingxing has a mental illness..."
This is terrible! So, she decided to go all the way and nip this "hidden danger" in the bud for the Wang family.
"You don't need to thank me too much, it's just that I have a kind heart," she said modestly.
Upon hearing this, the father thought, "..." If it weren't for the fact that you were the one who caused this situation, I would have actually believed you. You're truly shameless.
Grandma Wang believed Xu Gui's words and looked at her with some surprise, saying, "I didn't expect that you, my daughter, are so kind-hearted... It seems that I misunderstood you before."
Xu Gui shamelessly accepted her praise and then said, "Then I'll trouble you to help Xingxing pack his things. The longer he stays at home, the greater the risk of being discovered. I need to take him away as soon as possible!"
She spoke with such conviction that Grandma Wang, upon hearing this, also became anxious and hurriedly said, "Then I'll go pack his things now."
Her impatient manner made onlookers feel sorry for Wang Lingxing. Fortunately, Wang Lingxing did not show much sadness and seemed to be in a stable mood, simply following Xu Gui step by step.
Mr. Wang looked at Xu Gui, frowning: "What are the conditions like at your orphanage? Will Xingxing be bullied there?"
Xu Gui laughed and said, "Our orphanage is quite nice. I grew up there. Look how healthy and lively I am now! My mind is just as healthy!"
Wang's father glanced at Xu Gui, his lips twitching slightly as he said, "...Hmm, I can see that. He's quite lively."
He seemed hesitant about Wang Lingxing going to the orphanage, but didn't know what to do. In the end, he just stood silently to the side, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The two policemen arrested Master Zhou and his two disciples. At this point, they roughly understood what had happened. Thinking of Wang Lingxing's resolute attitude when he ran to the balcony, they rationally remained silent about the current situation.
A moment later, Grandma Wang brought out a large suitcase. She looked at Xu Gui and said, "I packed some clothes for the season, and toiletries..."
As she spoke, she glanced at Wang Lingxing beside her and said, "I'll mail the rest to you later."
Wang Lingxing remained silent.
The old lady sighed and said, "Don't think Grandma is heartless. Who told you to get this disease? If word gets out, how can our family face anyone? What will people think of us? I..."
"Are you all packed? Then we're leaving now." Xu Gui suddenly rushed in, interrupting the old lady's "heartfelt confession." The old lady opened her mouth, but reluctantly swallowed the rest of her words.
Xu Gui picked up the suitcase and turned to ask Wang Lingxing, "Is there anything you need to bring?"
Wang Lingxing glanced at her, then turned back into the house. A little while later, he came out carrying a large golden pig, which looked like a piggy bank. He stood quietly next to Xu Gui, holding it, and seemed very obedient.
Xu Gui glanced at the golden pig again, then turned to the Wang family mother and son: "Then I'll take him with me. I'll contact you again when we get to the orphanage."
Wang's father took a step forward: "Let me see you out!"
He seemed to want to say something to Wang Lingxing, but Wang Lingxing kept his head down, looking like he wouldn't talk to her, so Wang's father didn't know what to say. The father and son remained silent all the way until they reached the outside of the residential area.
Having reached this point, Mr. Wang felt it inappropriate to see them off any further; if he did, he would have to get on the bus with them to the orphanage.
“Xingxing…” Father Wang hesitated, then added, “When you get to the orphanage, you must be obedient, don’t make anyone angry, and take good care of yourself…”
At this point, he seemed to have a change of heart and suddenly developed a fatherly heart, which was ironic.
Xu Gui had asked the paparazzi to turn off the live stream earlier, but seeing this scene now, he felt an urge to ask him to turn the live stream back on, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Soon, the car that Xu Gui and the others had called arrived. Xu Gui helped Wang Lingxing into the car and said to Wang's father, "Well then, Mr. Wang, see you later."
Mr. Wang watched their car drive away, and only after it was out of sight did he sigh and turn to go back. But after taking a few steps, he suddenly realized something: "...Did I exchange contact information with them?"
He turned his head sharply, but by then, Xu Gui and the others had already driven far away.
The two policemen were about to take Master Zhou and his two disciples back to the police station. The three of them looked even uglier than if they were crying.
Thinking about the Zheng family's affairs, and now the Wang family's affairs, Master Zhou was certain that he and that Miss Xu were incompatible, and that she would definitely bring him bad luck.
It's hateful. If he had realized this earlier, he should have turned around and left when he saw the other party at the Wang family. If he had done that, how could he have ended up like this?
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.
Meanwhile, in the taxi, the person filming was also asking this question: "...Teacher Xu, do the Wang family have our contact information?"
Xu Gui feigned confusion: "Ah, this, I don't know either, I don't think so."
The person filming: "..." Sometimes I feel that Teacher Xu is very reliable and makes me feel very safe, but other times, I feel that Teacher Xu is not reliable at all!
"What if they call the police and accuse us of child abduction?" he couldn't help but ask.
Xu Gui looked at the obviously tall boy sitting next to him and hesitated, "This boy... isn't he a child anymore?"
A seventeen-year-old boy will be an adult at the end of this year. Is he still considered a child?
“It’s okay,” Wang Lingxing said in a muffled voice, “They won’t cause trouble for you, and they won’t bother me either… They finally got rid of me, this burden, and they won’t want to come back.”
His words carried a heavy tone, and the person filming him was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Oh, right, we have a lot of children in our orphanage," Xu Gui said, as if suddenly remembering something. She looked at Wang Lingxing and asked, "Have you thought about how you're going to get along with them after you go there?"
Wang Lingxing's eyes widened, and his expression looked a little silly.
Xu Gui sighed and said, "It seems you haven't thought about it. Well, you can start thinking about it now. You have to understand that there are many children in our orphanage, some of whom are only this young. If you're not careful, you might make them cry. That scene might not be very pleasant."
After hearing this, Wang Lingxing frowned and his expression became serious.
He sat there, frowning, looking very serious about how to get along with the children in the orphanage.
At this moment, all the heavy feelings were almost forgotten.
Seeing this, the paparazzi couldn't help but give Xu Gui an admiring look. When he looked away, he saw the driver's rather strange expression.
The person filming said, "...Ha, no, don't worry, we're not human traffickers."
The driver's eyes suddenly sharpened.
The person filming: "..." Why does your gaze look even more off?
Finally, under the driver's sharp and wary gaze, Xu Gui and his group arrived at the orphanage safely.
As soon as the car arrived at the orphanage, the cameraman couldn't wait to get out of the car—he felt like he was being stared at to death by the driver's gaze.
"Let's start the live stream," Xu Gui said to him after he came down.
Upon hearing this, the paparazzi seemed surprised, glanced at Wang Lingxing, and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
Xu Gui said, "Everyone should be very concerned about the outcome of this matter. Let's turn on the live stream so they can see how things are going and stop worrying about it."
The photographer nodded and said, "I hadn't thought of that."
He operated the machine and turned on the live stream.
A few minutes later, Xu Gui's live stream, which had gone dark, lit up again.
At this moment, the netizens who had been waiting in the live stream were overjoyed when they saw the live stream light up, and then they saw the gate of the orphanage.
Netizens: ? ? ?
[Where did Xu Gui bring us?] one of the viewers asked in the live chat.
As if sensing everyone's questions, Xu Gui's face popped over from the side and into the frame.
She explained, "We are now at the gate of the orphanage where I grew up, and my classmate Wang Xingxing is with me."
Wang Lingxing, who was standing to the side, glanced at her and said softly, "Wang Lingxing..."
Xu Gui nodded, very proudly saying, "That's right, it's Wang Xingxing. He's now an unofficial member of our orphanage and will be staying here temporarily for the next few days."
“Wang Lingxing…” Wang Lingxing retorted softly.
At this moment, the netizens watching the live stream looked somewhat bewildered:
[Wait, how did we suddenly end up at an orphanage? Why is Wang Xingxing going to live there? I missed it by two hours, not two years, right?]
[That scared me to death! Did the Wang family do anything wrong? The streamer suddenly turned off the broadcast, I thought something had happened! Luckily, Xingxing is standing here safely, which means everything's alright, right?]
[The streamer seems like a kidnapper (in a good way), has he "abducted" several children to an orphanage?]
[Slander! This is all slander! How could Xiao Gui be associated with child abduction? All told, she only abducted three children to the orphanage: Zhao Di, Ms. Li Ru's son, and Wang Xingxing!]
[Yes, it is indeed slander. Xu Gui only filmed the show for half a month and then took three children back to the orphanage.]
[You guys are using really foul language!]
So, what exactly happened next? How did Wang Xingxing end up at the orphanage with Xu Gui? Didn't his family stop him?
[I've said it several times, his name is Wang Lingxing!! Not Wang Xingxing!]
...
Xu Gui knew the questions on everyone's mind, so he simply explained the situation to them.
She has always been good at summarizing, and she can explain the ins and outs of a matter in just a few words.
"In short, that's the situation right now. Wang Xingxing will stay at our orphanage for the next few days. I will contact his grandmother later and have her come and pick him up."
This was the best choice Xu Guineng could make for Wang Xingxing.
Wang Xingxing glanced at her, hesitated, and finally gave up on correcting himself that his name was Wang Lingxing instead of Wang Xingxing... Actually, he thought the name Wang Xingxing sounded pretty good too.
How about I change my name to Wang Xingxing from now on?
While "Comrade Wang Xingxing" was seriously considering the possibility of changing his name, someone from the orphanage came out.
Xu Gui looked over and saw that it was the dean and the others. His eyes lit up and he happily rushed towards the dean.
"Dean~" Everyone in the live stream heard her sweet and soft voice.
Amidst the lively barrage of comments, the tearful messages from the "mommy fans" stood out: "Our daughter has never spoken to us in such a sweet and soft voice before!! QAQ"
Mom fans, you've been utterly defeated at this moment!
*
"Dean!"
Xu Gui had already snuggled into the dean's arms, speaking softly and coquettishly to her—this body was hers, and after the memories were merged, she instinctively felt a sense of closeness to the dean, genuinely regarding her as an elder.
The dean reached out and put his arm around her, saying, "You're so old, why are you still acting like a child?" But judging from the expression on her face, she was clearly very pleased.
Xu Gui laughed upon hearing this and said, "I love to act cute with the dean because I know he likes me the most."
She's so arrogant.
Then, she glanced at the others and asked, "Why are you all out here?"
Besides the director, the people who came out included Zhao Di, Wu Xueya, and volunteers from the orphanage. Everyone surrounded Xu Gui and the director, especially Zhao Di and Wu Xueya, who stood around Xu Gui's feet, looking up at her with bright, sparkling eyes.
If they could, they probably would have wanted to reach out and hug Xu Gui's legs.
When Xu Gui saw them, he patted both of their heads with affection, and in return, he received a very bright smile from them.
Seeing this, Wang Lingxing moved quietly and stood beside the two of them.
He was a quiet and reserved boy who didn't like to talk. Although he stood there, he didn't say a word, only glancing at Xu Gui from time to time. His movements were very subtle, making him easy to overlook.
However, Xu Gui had already paid some attention to him, so even though he didn't see his movements were very large, he still noticed them. He understood and reached out to pat his head.
Wang Lingxing's eyes lit up immediately. Although his expression didn't change much, the atmosphere around him became noticeably lighter.
It's pitiful that this tall guy, who's 1.8 meters tall, had to bow and lower his head in front of Xu Gui.
After patting the three heads, Xu Gui turned to talk to the dean and the others.
The director said, "We've been watching your live stream. Just now, we saw you at the orphanage gate, and Zhao Di and the others said they would come to pick you up."
Xu Gui went to see Zhao Di and the others. Zhao Di smiled shyly; she was also a quiet person. Wu Xueya, on the other hand, spoke clearly, "We just want to see you, sister, as soon as possible."
His first words were pleasing, which made Xu Gui pat his head again.
The group exchanged a few words at the entrance and then went into the courtyard.
Wang Xingxing was solemnly entrusted to Zhao Di and Wu Xueya by Xu Gui. The two of them were not very old, three or four years younger than Wang Lingxing. They were in junior high school and were eager to become adults.
Seeing that Xu Gui was taking the task of taking care of Wang Xingxing so seriously, the two of them immediately felt a sense of responsibility and took the task very seriously.
"Don't worry, sister, we will take good care of Wang Xingxing!" Wu Xueya followed Xu Gui in addressing Wang Xingxing.
"Wang Xingxing": "My name is Wang Lingxing..."
Zhao Di whispered, "Wang Xingxing, let's go play over here. There's a slide over there shaped like an elephant. It's really pretty and huge. Let's play together... Or, there's a swing and a seesaw over there!"
Wang Lingxing wanted to refuse, after all, he felt he was an adult, but Wu Xueya had already pulled him away, saying happily as they walked, "We can still eat ice cream! Sister Fu Xia bought a whole truckload of ice cream, and the truck is still in the yard. I'll take you to eat some!"
Seeing this, Xu Gui felt a little relieved—Zhao Di and Wu Xueya were both steady people, and she was at ease knowing they were taking care of Wang Xingxing.
She spoke quietly to the dean.
"...Where is Fu Xia? I don't see her." She looked around but couldn't find Fu Xia anywhere. Wu Xueya had just mentioned her.
Speaking of Fu Xia, the dean laughed and whispered, "She's hiding. She said you're doing a live broadcast and can't be filmed. If she is, everyone will laugh at her."
Look, he hasn't recovered from the embarrassment of confessing his feelings to an elementary school student.
Xu Gui chuckled to himself.
The dean then asked her, "What's the situation with this child?" Although she had been watching Xu Gui's live streams and knew that the child might have schizophrenia, she wasn't entirely clear on the specifics.
Xu Guidao said, "His family put too much pressure on him, and his excessive emotional repression led to some mental problems."
It started as depression, which gradually turned into schizophrenia. If the disease had been properly intervened from the beginning, it might not have become so serious. However, Wang's family was obviously unwilling to admit that he had such an illness, and even less willing to take him for treatment, which led to his complete mental breakdown, resulting in the emergence of the female personality "Wang Lingxing".
“...His family felt ashamed of his illness, so I brought him here.” Xu Gui explained his thoughts. “He can’t stay with his parents anymore, as it will only worsen his condition. I plan to send him to his maternal grandmother’s house.”
Dean: "Would his illness get better if he stayed with his maternal grandmother?"
Xu Gui nodded and said with certainty, "It will be alright. His maternal grandmother is different from his family. She has a very good personality. If he is by her side, he will find great comfort."
Moreover, compared to the Wang family's fearful attitude, Wang Lingxing's maternal grandmother would actively and proactively help him get treatment, rather than avoiding medical care altogether.
“He can only survive if he stays with his grandmother,” Xu Gui said.
The dean sighed and said, "There are always so many parents who put too much pressure on their children..."
However, it is rare to see someone with such a terrible attitude as the Wang family. If he hadn't met Xu Gui, he would most likely have jumped to his death today. But perhaps even God took pity on him and let him meet Xu Gui.
The dean patted Xu Gui's hand and said with satisfaction, "You did a great job."
Xu Gui said embarrassedly, "I thought you would think I was causing trouble for the hospital. I brought three children back with me."
"You know that too?" the director scolded her playfully, then reached out and patted her head—just now Xu Gui was patting the heads of the three children, but now it was the director patting her head.
Xu Gui felt a gentle pat on the top of her head, and she couldn't help but smile.
As the two were talking, the camera crew didn't follow them. Xu Gui also turned off her recording equipment, so the viewers in the live stream couldn't hear what they were saying. They could only see Xu Gui, looking like a little girl, burying her head in the director's arms. Even though she was a head taller than the director, the scene looked rather comical.
However, it also makes people feel very warm.
Ah, this scene looks so heartwarming; it warms my heart.
[Having seen so many cold and emotionless relationships in the live stream today, seeing this scene is actually quite touching. Although there are cold-hearted people like the Mao and Wang families, there is also a warm relationship like that between Xu Gui and the Dean.]
People are inherently different, and relationships can be healthy or unhealthy. The relationship between the Mao and Wang families was clearly unhealthy. We should escape unhealthy relationships and develop healthy ones; this is the right choice.
[Summary: Question others more, waste less time on internal conflicts; I'm sure I'm right!]
...
Xu Gui's afternoon live stream was broadcast from the orphanage.
Fu Xia's ice cream truck was still in the yard. Wang Xingxing was dragged along to eat one, and Xu Gui also went over to join in the fun, asking the ice cream maker to make him an extra-large version.
It was sprinkled with nuts on top, making it look especially tempting.
For the children, not just those in the orphanage, the temptation of such a large ice cream was immense, drawing all the children who were playing around to its edge.
"Wow, sister, how can you eat such a big one?"
A group of children surrounded Xu Guituan.
Faced with their envious gazes, Xu Gui proudly nibbled off the tip of the ice cream mountain, then said with pride, "The ice cream maker probably thought I was very, very good, so he specially rewarded me!"
Kids: "Wow!"
"If we become really, really good, will he give us ice cream this big too?" a child asked hopefully.
Xu Gui glanced at the child who was speaking and said, "That's impossible, because you can't possibly be better than me!"
Kid: QAQ.
"Waaah, Headmaster..." the child cried as he went to find the headmaster.
Xu Gui innocently took a bite of ice cream and said with a smile, "This kid is really fun to tease." He's cute, and he can cry and laugh. How fun!
Netizens watching this scene commented: "Ah, I knew it! Kids are just for teasing!" (Just kidding)
After finishing her ice cream, Xu Gui played with the children in the orphanage for a while. Most of the children in the orphanage were precocious. Because they were abandoned, they seemed more obedient than other children, which made people feel sorry for them after a while.
Xu Gui stayed at the orphanage until evening. Dinner was prepared by someone hired by Fu Xia. She hid for a while to avoid the camera. Only after Xu Gui turned off the live stream did she sit down with Xu Gui in the cafeteria and talk to him.
"I just secretly went online and saw that these people are so hateful! They're all laughing at me! Don't I have any shame?"
Most importantly, even her family and friends called and messaged her to make fun of her. Hahaha, who would have thought that Fu Xia, who was unknown in the entertainment industry for several days, would become famous overnight for confessing her love to an elementary school student?
Fu Xia smiled: "That's good too. At least when I go out in the future, people will say when they hear my name: 'Ah, it's Fu Xia, the one who confessed to an elementary school student!' You agree, right?"
Xu Gui was amused by her words, and the two of them huddled together, chattering away.
Fu Xia hired a professional chef, and the children in the orphanage were so happy with the meal that they showed their big teeth. They called Fu Xia "Sister Xiaxia" one after another, which made Fu Xia dizzy with delight. She hugged them and said they were cute one by one.
Xu Gui watched, a smile unconsciously appearing in his eyes.
Just then, the cameraman who had been silent suddenly sat down and, under Xu Gui's questioning gaze, said, "Teacher Xu, I remember that the premise for us to successfully bring Wang Xingxing out was to tell the Wang family that we wouldn't reveal that he had a split personality, right?"
Xu Gui's attention was still on Fu Xia and the children, and he nodded indifferently when he heard this: "I guess so."
The cameraman said, "...But we've been live-streaming from the very beginning today, only interrupted in the middle. Wasn't the news about Wang Xingxing being sick already broadcast?"
Xu Gui blinked, then blinked again, indicating, "It seems so."
Follow-up report: Perhaps, possibly, probably, news about Wang Xingxing's schizophrenia has been flying around the internet and spreading everywhere.
"If we do this, won't the Wang family come and take Wang Xingxing back?" the paparazzi asked nervously.
Xu Gui replied, "No, what they want most right now is to have another son as soon as possible. They won't put much effort into Wang Xingxing anymore."
The paparazzi was very worried: "...Given their family's situation, if you let them have another child, won't that second child be ruined by them too?"
In his view, families like the Wang family shouldn't raise children; they have no right to do so, and children born into their family are simply suffering.
"Don't worry." Xu Gui looked at him and said, "Their second child has been outstanding since birth and has fully withstood their family's high-pressure education... Besides, do you think that if I didn't bring it up, their family wouldn't have thought about having a second child?"
She just mentioned it first.
According to the original plan, Wang Xingxing would jump off the building and die. After losing Wang Xingxing and suffering a huge blow, the Wang family quickly came up with the idea of having another child - their old Wang family line was cut off, so of course they had to find a way to have another child.
After much effort, they finally had their second child, who lived up to their expectations and was exceptionally outstanding.
The only problem is that the child was born with a cold heart. After reaching adulthood, he moved out of the Wang family and had almost no contact with them. In a way, how can this not be considered as the Wang family getting what they wanted?
After all, they wanted someone who could carry on the family line and bring glory to their Wang family. Their wish had already been fulfilled. As for whether the child had feelings for them or was unwilling to raise them in their old age, what did it matter?
All things considered, their family actually benefited the most.
"Right?"
