Chapter 455 Entrustment
He nodded to Shaoan, then shook his head: "Not for now."
Zhao Yuanyuan and Ye Jinmo are good friends. Things have been tense lately and she doesn't want to cause any trouble before the New Year.
Aunt Chen's eyes turned and she agreed immediately: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Do you know her name?"
"My name is Zhao Yuanyuan, and I also study at Jiangda University. Aunt Chen, please don't worry about this matter. I know what to do."
Aunt Chen agreed, already having a plan in mind.
As New Year's Eve was approaching, Zhao Yuanyuan couldn't leave the hospital, so she asked Ye Jinqian to buy a lot of snacks and toys to send to the welfare home.
The dean brought Xiaoxing to see her.
Zhao Yuanyuan is now able to walk freely.
"Sister Yuanyuan!"
Xiaoxing was carrying a biscuit barrel and called her sweetly.
She responded with a smile.
“These are the cookies that the Dean and I baked together!”
She looked at Ye Jinqian with a questioning look in her eyes.
“Yes.”
After getting consent, she pulled Xiaoxing to sit on the sofa.
"Thank you, Xiaoxing!"
Ye Jinqian stood by the window, his eyes swept over the two people on the sofa, and he smiled unconsciously.
The morning sun was shining brightly, shining on his body and emitting a faint halo.
"Professor Ye, can we talk alone?"
Zhao Yuanyuan looked up: "Dean Mom, what happened?"
"No, it's just that we have troubled Professor Ye for too long, and I want to express my gratitude to him in person."
Ye Jinqian and the dean left the ward.
The corridor leads to a small indoor garden.
There's not many people inside.
They sat down in the garden.
"Professor Ye, thank you for this time!"
After saying this, the dean stood up and bowed deeply to him.
Ye Jinqian hurriedly helped him up: "You're welcome, I didn't do anything."
"Not only this, I also want to ask you for something," the dean said, his eyes reddened, he looked up, and spoke earnestly, "Can you help me take good care of Yuanyuan?"
Ye Jinqian frowned, but before he could say anything, he heard her continue.
"This child has had a very hard life since childhood. I have some health problems. I have already contacted the other children in the welfare home and someone will claim them soon. Only Yuanyuan..."
"She has been sensible since she was young. Professor Ye, I know my request is excessive, but even as a friend, I beg you to help take care of Yuanyuan. It is not easy for a girl like her to live in the imperial capital."
After saying this, the dean prepared to kneel down, and he seemed to have aged a lot.
Ye Jinqian held her arm and frowned, "Don't be like this."
As he moved up and down, he touched the dean's wrist.
His brows sank, he sighed inwardly, and helped her sit down.
"When did you find out?"
The dean curled his lips and said, "Not long ago, I knew that there was no cure."
She took out a card from her pocket and said, "This is the money Yuanyuan donated to the welfare home over the years. I didn't touch a cent. It's 50,000 yuan in total. She's a single girl, and she gave all the money she earned to the welfare home."
"She is still young and has a long life ahead of her. It would be the best if she could find her parents and have a home in the future. She has a jade longevity lock on her body. It was given to her when she was in her cradle when I found her. Her parents must love her very much."
Ye Jinqian felt that this card was worth a fortune.
Yes, the director’s disease is incurable. He is in the advanced stage of liver cancer. Even if he undergoes surgery, he will not live long.
I have been practicing medicine for many years and have witnessed many cases of life and death.
This is the first time this has happened to me.
Just when things were about to get better, an accident happened.
"You're not going to tell her?"
The dean smiled faintly: "Keep it a secret for as long as you can. She is a good child and should...should be happy."
"Professor Ye, I am truly offended today, but I don't know who to entrust her to. I have watched her grow up, and she is like my own daughter."
Coming out of the garden, Ye Jinqian felt a little heavy.
Taking care of that silly girl... He didn't seem to be unwilling to do so.
When I walked to the door of the ward, I heard the sound of laughter from inside.
Zhao Yuanyuan and Xiaoxing were having fun.
The dean gathered himself together, looked at him gratefully, then pushed the door open and walked in, his voice brisk.
"Xiaoxing, it's getting late. We should go back."
Xiaoxing pouted: "Are we going back now?"
"Director Mama, I heard from Xiaoxing that there are many caring people who want to adopt the children from the orphanage."
"Yes, our Xiaoxing is going to have a family too."
The dean touched Xiaoxing's head lovingly.
A blush appeared on Xiaoxing's face.
The children in the welfare home all hope to be adopted by kind people.
Zhao Yuanyuan was also quite happy: "That's a good thing."
"If the children can find a good family, you, Dean, will be more relaxed."
After so many years of hard work, the dean's temples have turned gray. Coupled with the recent troubles, his face has many more wrinkles and he has become extremely thin.
When everything was settled and life was getting better, she realized that the dean had lost so much weight.
She held the dean's hand and said, "After the Chinese New Year, when the children have found good families, you can stay in my apartment for a few days. This apartment was rented to me by Professor Ye."
The dean smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, okay, I'll go after the New Year."
"Bring the kids to the villa for a get-together after the New Year." Ye Jinqian suddenly said, "There's a lake nearby where you can go fishing."
The dean smiled and agreed: "Okay, then after the New Year, I will bring the children here."
Zhao Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly became moist and she opened her arms to hug the dean.
The originally fat body has become just a skeleton.
"Why have you lost so much weight? Are you sick?"
The dean scolded: "No, there are so many children, and I am old, it is normal to be a little thin."
Zhao Yuanyuan was still worried: "Why don't you go for a physical examination?"
"Why is this kid getting a physical examination for no reason? It's almost Chinese New Year, let's talk about it after the New Year."
After that, the two exchanged a few words and the dean took Xiaoxing away.
Zhao Yuanyuan looked at the backs of the old man and the child from the window, feeling a little worried.
After leaving the hospital, the dean could no longer hold on and leaned against the wall, coughing.
Her whole body was shaking, and Xiaoxing cried and held her hand.
"What's wrong with you, Dean?"
The dean covered his mouth, and the paper in his hand was stained red with blood.
After a long time, she caught her breath.
"It's okay, Xiaoxing, don't worry."
Xiaoxing sobbed: "I'll go tell Sister Yuanyuan..."
The next second, the sleeve was grabbed by the dean: "You are not allowed to go."
Xiaoxing cried: "Why?"
"Xiaoxing, your adoptive family will come this afternoon. Don't worry about the rest. I'm fine. Don't tell your sister Yuanyuan. She has suffered too much alone and has given too much for the welfare home!"
Xiaoxing wiped her tears and nodded.
"Okay, Dean Mom, don't worry, just wait until I grow up, and I'll make money to treat your illness."
The dean smiled, her face full of satisfaction: "Okay, dean mom will wait for Xiaoxing to grow up."
"Let's go, there's a supermarket up ahead, let's go buy some delicious food and bring it back!"
