Chapter 048 Jinjiang First Launch

Dean Feng explained sheepishly: "Please forgive me, please forgive me. We are short of money here and can only afford one cleaner. He cleans the whole building by himself, so there are bound to be omissions."

Li Mo waved her hand to show that she didn't care. She asked, "Where are the children?"

Dean Feng smiled flatteringly: "It's almost there, it's almost here."

Dean Feng led the two of them through a long corridor. At the end of the corridor was a hall. There were all kinds of toys scattered around in the hall. A group of children were playing freely inside. Dean Feng said:

"Ms. Li, all the children here meet your requirements. The oldest is no more than six or seven years old. Take a look. If you want to know more about someone's situation, you can ask me again."

While saying these words, Dean Feng's eyes were fixed on Li Mo. From the moment she entered the room, her eyes had been glued to Li Mo, completely ignoring Bai Mian's existence.

Li Mo turned his head, took Bai Mian's hand and said, "Master, thank you for your help."

Bai Mian nodded: "If you see someone you like, I can help you calculate the fortune for that child."

Seeing that Li Mo was so respectful to Bai Mian, Dean Feng immediately changed her previous attitude and came over attentively. She looked Bai Mian up and down, then smiled and said:

"Is this... the fortune teller that Ms. Li invited? Oh, I've heard that rich people are very particular. Today I see that this is indeed true. This fortune teller is really extraordinary. Please take a seat, Master. How should I address you?"

Li Mo introduced: "This is Master Bai Mian. Her live broadcast is quite famous in Qingshui Town. Have you never seen it?"

Dean Feng shook his head: "I am usually too busy with work and have no time to watch the live broadcast. However, I think this Master Bai looks very familiar. Master Bai, you are a local of Qingshui Town, right? Have we met somewhere before?"

Bai Mian said nothing and gave Dean Feng a cold look. She didn't know why, but she hated this woman from the bottom of her heart.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Dean Feng smiled awkwardly and stepped aside tactfully: "Ms. Li, Master Bai, you guys just watch first. I won't disturb you."

Li Mo walked among the children and sat quietly for a while, observing each child. There were often outsiders visiting the orphanage, so these children did not react much when seeing strangers and continued to do their own things.

There were a few kids playing with dolls in the corner, a few kids gathered around the table eating oranges and apples, and two little boys were performing Ultraman fighting monsters at the door. Li Mo watched for a while, then pulled Bai Mian and said:

"Master, I like the boy who plays Ultraman. He is so lively and healthy, and he has a generous personality. I want to adopt this child!"

Before Bai Mian could say anything, the boy who played Ultraman came over. He heard the conversation between the two and patted his chest and said, "Auntie, if you were my mother, I would definitely protect you, just like Ultraman protects the world!"

These words made Li Mo laugh out loud. She said to Bai Mian, "Look, this child is so smart. He will definitely have a bright future!"

Bai Mian grabbed the boy's hand and felt his pulse. The little boy seemed to know that this was a test for him, so he stood there obediently without struggling.

After a moment, Bai Mian let go of the boy's hand and shook his head gently: "This child's parents are both criminals. He inherited the criminal gene. He pretended to be like this today. In fact, he is a cruel and violent child who likes to bully the weak and often bullies other friends."

"If you adopt him and take him home, he will soon show his true colors. He will cause trouble everywhere and often contradict you, but you will tolerate him out of your kindness. When he grows up, he will kill you in order to get the family property, and then he will be sentenced to death."

After hearing Bai Mian's prediction, Li Mo took a deep breath and his good impression of the little boy disappeared immediately. The little boy realized that Bai Mian was saying bad things about him, so he pointed at her and cursed her: "You stinky bitch, you deserve to be fucked to death!"

Li Mo simply couldn't believe that these vicious words came out of the mouth of a six-year-old boy. It seemed that this child was not as sunny and cheerful as he appeared. Before she could react further, Shi Xingye pushed the door in.

"Children, the gifts are here!" Shi Xingye shouted loudly.

In his arms were a pile of boxes of various sizes. Before coming, he and his wife had carefully wrapped these gifts with colored paper and ribbons, so that you couldn't tell what was inside from the outside.

As soon as the children saw the pile of gifts, they immediately gathered around Shi Xingye. The little boy rushed over like a hungry tiger pouncing on food and squeezed directly into the innermost part of the crowd. He grabbed Shi Xingye's pants and shouted, "Give it to me! Give it to me!"

"Don't rush, everyone gets one, just line up!" Shi Xingye smiled gently and asked the children to line up to receive their gifts.

The little boy dressed as Ultraman stood at the front, and the other children stood behind him in order. After everyone had lined up, a little girl in the corner put down the doll in her hand and walked slowly to the end of the line.

Shi Xingye put all the gifts on the ground, and the little boy was the first to choose. He couldn't see what was in the boxes, so he simply picked up each box, weighed it, and picked the heaviest one to go.

The other children followed suit, picked up their gifts and left. When it was the last little girl's turn, there was only a small, light and thin box left on the ground. She did not refuse, but picked up the box happily and said thank you to Shi Xingye.

After receiving the gifts, the children happily opened the boxes in their hands. Some received clothes, some received snacks, and some received toys. Everyone was very happy, except for the little boy who was the first to choose a gift. He tore open the packaging and found that it was actually a whole set of famous books. He angrily threw the books on the ground and shouted, "Who wants this!"

The little girl at the end of the line also opened her gift. Inside was a small heart-shaped box with English words written all over it. She opened it carefully, and an intoxicating fragrance emanated from the box.

"It's chocolate!" she said in surprise, "and it's foreign chocolate. I've never eaten foreign chocolate in my life!"

Shi Xingye smiled slightly. The little girl didn't know yet that she had received the most expensive gift in the venue.

When the little boy saw her gift, he immediately became jealous. He rudely snatched the chocolate from the little girl and stuffed it directly into his mouth, saying incoherently: "I'll trade with you, your gift is mine!"

The little girl's expression instantly turned into disappointment, but she still squatted on the ground and picked up the set of classics lovingly: "The books are good, and the books are also very good."

Seeing the pitiful look of the little girl, Li Mo felt pity. She exchanged glances with Shi Xingye, called the little girl over, and asked Bai Mian to take her pulse.

Bai Mian took her pulse and said, "This girl is kind-hearted, calm, and intelligent. If she can get a good education, she will become a scientific research talent and make contributions to the country. She will get along well with you. If you adopt her, you and your wife can spend a happy old age."

Li Mo slapped her thigh with joy after hearing this. She said to her husband, "Oh my God, isn't this better than a biological child? Honey, we want her!"

Shi Xingye also nodded in satisfaction. Seeing that the couple had made up their minds, Dean Feng stepped forward and said, "Congratulations, the child is named Xiu Xiu. I will get her information later and a staff member will assist you with the formalities. Xiu Xiu is so lucky. Being adopted by you two is like being reborn a second time..."

Dean Feng kept talking, her eyes full of envy, as if she wished she was the one to be adopted by Li Mo and his wife. After she finished nagging at Li Mo and his wife, she said to Qingqing:

"Xingxi, you will leave here to enjoy your life in the future. If you become successful, don't forget the care that the headmistress has given you. When you grow up, you must also take good care of the headmistress. Let's keep in touch!"

Bai Mian sneered at the side. This Dean Feng was really snobbish. Xingxing was so young, but Dean Feng treated her as a family member. Moreover, judging from Xingxing's situation in the orphanage, it seemed that Dean Feng had never taken care of her.

Mr. and Mrs. Li Mo exchanged a few polite words and prepared to take Xiaoxiao to handle the formalities. Seeing that the matter was already a foregone conclusion, the abandoned little boy suddenly went berserk. He ran over angrily and pushed Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao fell down and hit his arm on the corner of the table, drawing blood.

Li Mo felt distressed when he saw the wound on Xiaoxiao's arm, but Dean Feng consoled her as if it was nothing new: "It's okay. Children just fight like that. Don't worry. I have prepared emergency supplies here."

As he spoke, Dean Feng opened a drawer beside him, took out alcohol and cotton swabs, expertly disinfected the wound, and then put a Band-Aid on it.

When checking Luo Luo's arms, Li Mo noticed that she had other old injuries on her body. It seemed that the management of the orphanage was very chaotic and Luo Luo was not having an easy time here. She glared at the little boy with dissatisfaction, picked up Luo Luo and prepared to leave.

Perhaps he still felt unsatisfied, the little boy jumped up and grabbed Bai Mian's face: "It's all because of you, woman, talking nonsense here, I'm going to tear your mouth off!"

Bai Mian dodged backwards. The little boy didn't hurt her, but just took away her sunglasses and mask. He threw the sunglasses on the ground in anger and stomped on them a few times.

"What are you doing? Is this how your teachers usually teach you?" Dean Feng stepped forward and scolded him, "Where is his tutor? Come and get him away!"

A young teacher came forward and took the boy away. Dean Feng turned around and prepared to apologize to Bai Mian with a smile on her face. But when she saw Bai Mian's face, she was completely stunned and pointed at Bai Mian with trembling hands:

“You…you…you?”

Li Mo asked in confusion: "Do you know each other?"

Bai Mian knew in his heart that the original owner of this body grew up in an orphanage, so it was not surprising that he knew the director. Now that the director saw a dead person standing in front of him, he would inevitably feel panicked.

But what surprised her was that Dean Feng's face showed not only panic and fear, but also a bit of guilt.

Bai Mian's heart sank. She did not inherit the original owner's memory. She just happened to overhear a few words when she was taken to the police station that day. She roughly understood some of the original owner's situation. The original owner was named Zhou Xinyu, an orphan who died accidentally while climbing a mountain.

She looked at Dean Feng with interest. It seemed that Zhou Xinyu's death might not be an accident.
