Nan's mother felt a deep, indescribable bitterness in her heart.
It's all my fault. I didn't care enough about Yaoyao, I didn't communicate with her properly, I didn't know what she was really thinking, and instead misunderstood her. I even felt dissatisfied with my daughter because of it...
Nan's mother immediately said, "Yaoyao, don't worry about this. There's no need to use your pocket money. Mom will agree to donate a large sum of money to the welfare home to help with their treatment and living expenses!"
The orphanage where Nan Yao previously lived had children who entered for several reasons:
Children abandoned by their parents or relatives, and children whose parents or relatives have all passed away and who have no guardians.
Nan Yao used to belong to the latter group, but in the orphanage, the former group still had the most children.
Some of these abandoned children are baby girls abandoned by families that favor sons over daughters, while many more are children with serious illnesses whose families are too poor to afford treatment, and whose parents have abandoned them.
Having heard about their poor health and blind massage, Nan's mother immediately realized that those children must be sick children abandoned by their parents.
It's pitiful. The orphanage relies on government funding, and it's too difficult to support those children. The children have to find ways to earn money on their own.
"Mom, are you serious?" Tongsu's eyes lit up, her face flushed. "Can...can we donate money to them?"
Seeing the look of surprise in her daughter's eyes, Nan's mother felt both heartache and pride.
I feel sorry for the injustice my daughter has suffered, but I am proud that she is a kind and grateful person.
Such a good, obedient child, why not agree to such a small thing?
She couldn't help but say, "Our family business includes a subsidiary that operates in education, with several private schools under our name. How about this: the schools can accept high-achieving children from welfare homes, offering free tuition, and we can also set up a fund to provide scholarships for outstanding students..."
The girl's expression grew even more deeply moved, and tears welled up in her eyes. She suddenly threw herself into her mother's arms, saying, "Thank you, Mom! On behalf of Tongtong and Sister Yu, thank you, Mom!"
"Oh, no need to thank me, you're so formal!" Although she said that, Nan's mother felt even happier and more satisfied.
Seeing the loving mother and daughter on one side, Nan Weixia on the other side of the sofa almost fell over with anger!
Donating money to welfare homes?
Establish scholarships?
Mom agreed to everything she asked for.
That's all money!
It's true that the Nan family is very wealthy now, but they only became rich in the last ten years or so. Although her family wasn't exactly poor when she was young, they weren't born into wealth either. Now that they have money, of course they have to save it carefully; why would they waste it?!
But with donations and scholarships involved, it's quite a sum!
If you kept this money, you could buy a lot of new haute couture jewelry. Why donate it? What's the point of giving it away to others and gaining a good reputation?!
It's the same Nan Yao. She's never experienced the hard work her family put into earning money. She doesn't value money and talks nonsense all the time. She encourages her mother to donate money recklessly in order to enhance her reputation!
Besides, if she donates all that money, how can she possibly spend it recklessly? Her allowance will definitely be less—and since Nan Yao is so good at squandering the family assets, won't she get less of what's rightfully hers when the inheritance is divided in the future?
Nan Weixia grew increasingly resentful and could no longer sit still, racking her brains for a way to deal with Nan Yao.
After Tongsu got tired and was pushed away in her wheelchair by the maid to rest, Nan Weixia jogged to catch up with her mother, a worried expression on her face, and said to her mother, "Mom, I'm very worried about my sister."
