Cao Xiaomei cried for about two minutes, then looked up and saw Jian Yu's meaningful gaze, and froze on the spot.
A moment later, he wiped his nose forcefully and glared at Jian Yu with resentment. "You wrote the whistleblower letter, didn't you?"
"Hmm?" Jian Yu raised an eyebrow.
"It must have been you? No one else knew there was so much money? It must have been you. After you left the orphanage, Ms. Jane's annual donation of one million stopped. They must have learned about the orphanage's daily living standards from you, which is why they guessed I misappropriated the money."
Cao Xiaomei was filled with regret. If she had known that Jian Yu would be recognized and taken back, she would have definitely done her part to maintain appearances.
When Jian Yu was sent to the orphanage, Cao Xiaomei noticed that the old housekeeper was dressed in designer clothes and had a driver who drove a luxury car.
The information on the huge donation receipt left behind was that it belonged to Ms. Jian. After a moment's thought, Cao Xiaomei realized that this person had a close relationship with Jian Yu.
A million dollars is enough to raise a child well anywhere.
With so much money, it would be better to just give it to any nanny than to send them here, but instead they sent them to an orphanage.
Judging from this, they don't plan to acknowledge the child back in the future.
I just don't know what's wrong with this child?
never mind.
In any case, bringing in a million dollars is a good thing.
Before Cao Xiaomei could recover from the joy of receiving a million-dollar sum, Yu Zhentian's ten million followed closely behind.
Cao Xiaomei was so excited that she didn't know what to say. After understanding the other party's conditions, Cao Xiaomei agreed without much hesitation.
That's ten million yuan, more than their family could earn in a lifetime.
Such a young child is prone to accidents if not carefully watched, and Cao Xiaomei was fully confident that no one would notice.
Refusing the staff's help, Cao Xiaomei left Jian Yu in her office, citing Jian Yu's poor health and need for separate care.
This child was simply her lucky star; he brought her a huge sum of 11 million yuan in just half a day.
Cao Xiaomei held the bank card, lay down on the bed, and almost burst out laughing.
Before Jian Yu was brought here, she hadn't eaten anything for a day, and by the time she arrived, her voice was already hoarse from crying.
Having been by Cao Xiaomei's side for only half a day, Jian Yu was already too sobbing to make a sound.
After Grandma Jian discovered Yu Zhentian's clandestine actions, she immediately sent the old housekeeper over.
The old butler rushed over and was very surprised to see Jian Yu looking so dejected.
Cao Xiaomei didn't expect the old housekeeper to come back. She quickly realized that Jian Yu was already sick when he was brought here, and that his voice was hoarse because of the illness.
The old housekeeper didn't know if Jian Yu was really sick when he was brought here.
Because he didn't care.
Whether Cao Xiaomei intended it or not, the old housekeeper scolded her. Cao Xiaomei was not a very tolerant person to begin with, and after being scolded, she was so angry that her teeth itched.
“Every year around this time, we will donate one million yuan to the orphanage, hoping you can take good care of this child. If you can’t, return the money and I will find another orphanage for the child.”
She wanted the money back after it was in her hands.
Cao Xiaomei felt heartbroken just thinking about it, and she repeatedly assured the old housekeeper that she would take good care of Jian Yu.
Seeing her sincere attitude, the old housekeeper believed her.
After the old housekeeper left, Cao Xiaomei rolled her eyes several times. "What's the use of having so much money at home? She was still abandoned. She might even be an illegitimate child and will never be recognized."
Cao Xiaomei imagined many feuds within wealthy families, and regardless of the type, she believed that Jian Yu could never go back.
Thinking about the scolding the old housekeeper gave her, Cao Xiaomei was furious and disliked Jian Yu very much.
In order to receive one million yuan every year in the future, Cao Xiaomei suppressed her hostility towards Jian Yu and sent him to a large room for unified care.
The staff quickly discovered that the formula Cao Xiaomei gave Jian Yuqi was much more diluted than that given to the other children.
Jianyu was always hungry and often cried out in pain.
To prevent her from waking the other children, they had to carry her away; sometimes, when they were busy, Jian Yu would be forgotten; by the time they remembered her, Jian Yu was already starving and almost fainting.
After Jianyu learned to walk, she often encountered older children who would bully her.
Jian Yu hides in the corners every day, sometimes missing mealtimes. Fortunately, there is an aunt in the orphanage who cares about Jian Yu and often secretly saves food for him. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether Jian Yu will be able to grow up.
Unfortunately, that aunt passed away a few years later.
Jian Yu had long ago discovered that most of the children who bullied her were instigated by Cao Xiaomei.
Teasing her would earn you a compliment, or sometimes an extra steamed bun at mealtime.
Don't underestimate a steamed bun; this small benefit alone is enough to make the children here fight tooth and nail for it.
The first skill every child here learns is to seek advantage and avoid harm. They can get food and please the headmaster, so all the children start vying to show off.
Those days were like hell for Jian Yu.
When that aunt was around, she could help Jian Yu drive away those children. Later, she fell ill and was bedridden, and Jian Yu secretly went to see her.
She hugged Jian Yu and cried very sadly. The aunt had no children of her own and felt very sorry for Jian Yu.
She was the only one in the entire orphanage who dared to stand up to Cao Xiaomei. Now that she's leaving, Jian Yu will have no one to rely on and will be bullied even more severely.
The aunt told Jian Yu, "If someone bullies you and you can't stand it, learn to fight back."
After her aunt passed away, Jian Yu would wake up crying every night.
After one of the boys noticed, he punched Jian Yu in the face, saying, "Are you mourning?"
Jian Yu didn't know what was wrong, only that she had nowhere to vent her emotions and was so upset that she was about to faint.
It was in this confused state of mind that Jian Yu finally launched her first act of rebellion.
She grabbed the boy by the hair and pounced on him, biting his neck so hard she almost killed him.
It took the staff who arrived to work a lot of effort to separate the two. The boy was taken to the hospital, while Jian Yu was taken to a dark room.
Thinking of the cold and gloomy environment of the dark room, Jian Yu secretly ran away when no one was paying attention.
Later, Jian Yu was found unconscious under the overpass. When she ran away, she was wearing her school uniform. The police found the school based on the uniform, and the school contacted the orphanage and took Jian Yu back.
After this incident, many children began to fear Jian Yu and dared not bully her as they had before.
Only the injured boy kept bothering her.
Jianyu would always call back.
After severely injuring the boy once again, Jian Yu was brutally beaten by Cao Xiaomei and locked in a dark room.
After being confined in the dark room for three days without eating or drinking, Jian Yu fell seriously ill upon her release.
Cao Xiaomei refused to be taken to the hospital and wouldn't let anyone take care of her.
One of the staff members couldn't bear to see Jian Yu suffer, so he secretly fed her medicine several times, which helped her get through the ordeal.
There was a child in the orphanage named Hou Xiaobao. He was already seven or eight years old when he was brought there.
The adults in his family were notorious for petty theft, and he learned a lot from them.
Now that his parents are gone, he has been sent to an orphanage.
The day after Hou Xiaobao arrived, Cao Xiaomei arranged for him to be by Jian Yu's side and lead Jian Yu out to steal.
Hou Xiaobao stuffed the stolen items into Jian Yu's arms and ran away.
Jian Yu was left completely bewildered and caught red-handed.
