Su Xi was confused by his sudden change of expression and quickly recovered, even teasing him in return.
"My husband traveled all this way to the orphanage, could it be for me?"
Zhou Jingming doesn't seem like the type of person who would do charity.
At least in her mind, he was a shrewd businessman who only cared about profit and would never do anything without it.
It's quite surprising that they've now become the orphanage's biggest sponsor.
“That’s right.” Zhou Jingming’s lips curved into a smile, the meaning of which was ambiguous.
Su Xi was slightly dazed.
How could she sense a hint of seriousness in what seemed like casual words?
The next second, Zhou Jingming suddenly put his arm around her shoulder. "Lele also said that Sister Xi'er doesn't stay long each time she comes over, and she hopes that Sister Xi'er can spend more time with her."
Speaking of this, Su Xi felt somewhat ashamed.
After adopting Lele, she had to let her stay in the orphanage because of her special status.
Lele has been obedient since she was a child and has never been a burden to him.
Even though the child feels reluctant to part ways each time, they won't cry or make a fuss.
Su Xi always knew that Lele wanted to stay by her side.
But the child never mentioned it to her in person, and she didn't have much time to spend with the child.
I never expected that such a young child would confide in Zhou Jingming.
"How about we take her back?" Zhou Jingming played with her hair, his breath hot as he spoke, filling her ears like a tidal wave.
Su Xi suddenly realized something and frowned. "Did you already know about my relationship with Lele?"
Since Zhou Jingming is a sponsor of the orphanage, it's impossible that this is his first time visiting the orphanage.
He seemed to be getting along well with the child, which showed that he was very familiar with the child.
In other words, Zhou Jingming had already met Lele before today.
He also gained Lele's approval; otherwise, Lele would never have shared the secret with him.
Zhou Jingming smiled casually and asked in return, "What's your relationship with Lele?"
Su Xi: "..."
Suddenly, I didn't know how to answer.
Could it be that she guessed wrong?
Zhou Jingming knew nothing at all?
"Is what Su Rou just said true? You've had children with other men?" Zhou Jingming pretended to be stupid, looking into her eyes with great interest.
Su Xi twitched her lips speechlessly and threw a punch at him, "If you could listen to what she says, you'd eat shit and pee."
“Lele is my adopted child. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Dean Chen yourself.”
After speaking, she pushed the man away and stood up, her gaze falling once again on the classroom opposite, where the children were intently drawing their artwork, a scene of harmonious tranquility that was almost too beautiful.
Zhou Jingming stood up and hugged her from behind. "Just kidding, are you angry?"
"Who's angry with you? I'm going to talk to Dean Chen about something." Su Xi said, then turned and left.
This time, Zhou Jingming didn't follow. After watching her figure disappear, he leaned against a tree and lit a cigarette.
...
Instead of going to see Dean Chen, Su Xi hid in a secluded spot and took out her phone to call Fu Yu back.
My phone just vibrated several times.
She knew it was Fu Yu calling without even looking.
"Boss, I've found a lead on the matter you asked me to investigate."
The call connected quickly, and Fu Yu's voice came through.
"explain."
"Five years ago, there was indeed a man named Tao Songbai in prison. He was a murderer and was sentenced to life imprisonment. However, he suddenly fell ill and died in prison some time ago."
Su Xi's expression changed.
What a coincidence, he's dead.
"Besides this matter, there's also a lead on Sun Huimin's situation that you asked me to keep an eye on. He's completely paralyzed."
The Sun Group was also placed under judicial investigation this morning. An anonymous source provided substantial evidence, leading to charges of money laundering against the Sun Group. The company has been frozen, and all of Sun Huimin's properties and vehicles have been confiscated and will be auctioned off by the court in a few days.
Sun Huimin couldn't accept this sudden turn of events and died of a stroke half an hour later. The news is reporting on this extensively; you can look it up online.
Su Xi was stunned for a long time after hearing this.
When she regained consciousness, she immediately checked the news and found it was full of reports about the Sun Group's crimes and the death of Sun Huimin.
He deserved to die, but why did Su Xi feel that something was off?
"Has Zhou Jingming done anything unusual since last night?" Even though she knew that this man was with her last night and was still at the orphanage, she couldn't help but connect the two.
It's just too much of a coincidence.
Fu Yu coughed twice. "Last night and now, I don't need to say anything. He's right beside you, you know best. As for the time between day and noon, he's been at the bar and I haven't noticed anything unusual."
Su Xi was in a state of confusion.
If it wasn't Zhou Jingming, then who was the anonymous letter sender?
After hanging up the phone, Su Xi stood there motionless for a long time.
If Hua Qing hadn't suddenly appeared and startled her, she doesn't know how long she would have had to stand there.
Hua Qing circled around her, her eyes fixed intently on her.
Su Xi felt uncomfortable under that gaze and couldn't help but shudder. "Sister, I'm not interested in women."
"Wait a minute, there's nothing wrong with this body's structure, how can it run so fast?" Hua Qing rubbed her chin and muttered to herself for a while.
Su Xi's sudden disappearance startled her quite a bit. She originally wanted to go and ask her what was going on, but she was delayed by a phone call.
Later, Zhou Jingming appeared, and she couldn't find a chance to ask him anything, so she hid away and had long phone conversations with Si Nan.
Su Xi knew that her newly revealed skills had aroused Hua Qing's suspicion, so she smiled and put her arm around Hua Qing's shoulder to change the subject, "Xiao Mei is helping the children with their lessons, and she's almost finished. Go and help tidy up the table in a bit."
Just then, get out of class ended, and a loud commotion came from the direction of the classroom.
Su Xi pushed Hua Qing along, saying, "Oh, by the way, let's see Xiao Mei off too."
Hua Qing didn't even have a chance to speak. When Zhou Jingming came to find Su Xi, she could only obediently go to the classroom to help clean up the paint.
An afternoon passed quickly, and it was time for Su Xi to leave.
The children were reluctant to let Su Xi leave, and they all surrounded her and cried.
Every time she encountered such a scene, Su Xi felt extremely heavy-hearted. All she could do was promise the children that she would come to visit them again soon.
Lele stood in the middle of the crowd, her small body standing straight, tears welling up in her big, dark eyes.
Su Xi knew the little guy was also reluctant to part with her.
She strode forward and hugged her tightly. Then, as if by magic, she took out a small doll from her person and gave it to her. "I have work to do, but I will definitely come to visit Lele again after I'm done with this."
"This doll is for Lele. If she misses her sister, she can talk to it and it will convey Lele's voice to her sister."
Lele took the doll, her eyelashes still wet.
My sister always comes and leaves in a hurry.
She didn't even have time to share her little secret with her sister.
The little child stubbornly bit her lip, and even though she was reluctant and sad, she behaved very well. "Lele will listen to Dean Chen and wait for her sister to come next time."
This child is so sensible it breaks your heart.
Su Xi kissed her eyebrows and eyes, then finally stood up, turned and left.
Behind her, she could hear children calling her name, and some younger children crying.
Lele held the doll and kept waving at Su Xi, but she didn't cry.
Just after Su Xi got into the car, Lele suddenly ran after her, calling out Su Xi's name, "Sister, don't leave Lele behind..."
