While the outside world was still discussing crazily about Ruofan Group's 500 million donation, Chen Fan's life had already returned to normal.
"Let's go!"
At the door, Su Ruochu held Lin Shiyi's little hand and waved at Chen Fan with a smile.
Chen Fan held the baby in his arms, "Girl, say goodbye to your mother."
"Go early and come back early. I will personally cook delicious food for you."
"Shiyi, don't you want to eat roast chicken? Uncle bought it for you."
Hearing this, the little girl's eyes showed a hint of anticipation.
"Shiyi, say goodbye to your uncle, grandpa and grandma." Su Ruochu reminded with a smile.
Lin Shiyi waved her hand obediently: "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, goodbye."
"Hey, good boy, go early and come back early. Grandma will prepare dinner and wait for you when you come back."
After watching the two get into the car and leave, Chen Fan returned to the living room carrying the child.
Chen Jianye smiled and asked, "This girl's personality is becoming more and more cheerful. It seems that the psychological counseling these days has been effective."
Li Jinqiu followed up by saying, "The child is still young and doesn't remember things easily. He should be fine after a while."
"Xiao Fan, how long will Shi Yi's psychological counseling take?"
Chen Fan laughed as he teased his daughter: "The psychologist said that she has recovered well in the past few days, but I'm afraid that this girl is pretending to be sad and hiding her sadness in her heart. This is not a good thing."
"The next time she goes there, the psychologist will examine her. If she passes the test, she won't have to go there in the short term."
"Alas, poor child."
"놖Go to the kitchen and prepare dinner."
"Mom, wait a minute."
Chen Fan called his mother and motioned for his parents to sit down.
"There is something I want to discuss with you two elders."
"Shiyi's parents died in the earthquake. I asked someone to check and found out that her only relative, her second uncle's family, also died in the earthquake..."
Li Jinqiu was stunned: "Doesn't that mean... this child is an orphan?"
Chen Fan nodded.
"Mom and Dad, I want to adopt this child. I want to ask for your opinion."
Chen Jianye and Li Jinqiu looked at each other and then spoke.
"Their opinions are not important. You should ask Yi Ruochu's opinion."
"When you two are living together, you should ask Ruchu more about her thoughts and stop being so chauvinistic."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "Of course I discussed it with her, and she agreed."
"Now it depends on your opinions."
"If we really adopt this child, 놖 and Ruochu will be busy with work and may not have much time to spend with her. We will have to rely on you two to take care of her in the future."
"Now that we have Doudou, we're worried that if we have another child, you two won't be able to take care of it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianye smiled.
"You kid, you look down on me and your mother too much. You two are only so old, what's there to be ashamed of seeing another child?"
"Besides, your mom and I don't have to work now, so we're just sitting around doing nothing every day."
"Having one more child makes daily life more fun."
Li Jinqiu also smiled and nodded, "Shiyi is a very likable child. He has only been home for two or three days, but your father and I like him very much."
"I will help you take care of Doudou from now on, and let your dad take care of Shiyi. He will definitely be happy to do so."
Chen Jianye looked at his son and smiled, "Don't worry about their health, they are fine."
"Now the main question is...if you adopt her, do you need to prepare any procedures?"
Chen Fan nodded: "I will find someone to take care of the formalities, don't worry about it."
"One more thing." Li Jinqiu looked at his son, "Shiyi is six or seven years old, so he should be old enough to go to school. Should we find a school for him here in the future?"
Chen Jianye glared and said, "The child just went through an earthquake. How can we let her go to school right away? She should at least rest at home for a while."
Chen Fan nodded: "What Dad said makes sense, but there is no need to rest for too long. The psychologist said that letting children go to school early and interact with children of the same age every day will help their psychological recovery."
"Well, that does make sense..."
"Have you told the kids about this?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "Not yet. I'll ask you two elders for your opinions first."
Chen Jianye stretched out his hand and rubbed his thigh. "You two have no objection. You really like this child."
"That's good. Find a chance to ask her what she thinks."
Just as Chen Fan was about to stand up, Chen Jianye beside him suddenly called him.
Then he took out a newspaper from behind the coffee table.
"Here..."
Chen Fan glanced at the newspaper and saw the headline on the front page saying that Ruofan Group donated 500 million yuan.
Chen Fan smiled bitterly, "Did you see it too?"
Li Jinqiu looked at his son and said, "Xiao Fan, is this really your company?"
"When your father and I first saw the report on TV, we thought they had the same name."
Chen Fan nodded: "It's 놖's company."
Li Jinqiu sighed: "Where did you get so much money?"
"These people know that your company has grown and made a lot of money. But five hundred million... I can't even dream of it in my lifetime..."
Chen Jianye interrupted his wife and said, "Even if I tell you about my son's career, you still don't understand."
"I just want to ask your mom, did you donate this on your own initiative or is there any special reason?"
Chen Fan was puzzled at first, then he responded.
"Dad, do you mean someone above is forcing you to donate this money?"
Seeing his parents' nervous looks, Chen Fan couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"Of course not. I donated this money willingly."
"We were taught to be a conscientious person since we were young. We didn't have the conditions before, but now we have money. It's only right for us to do something practical to help the disaster area."
Li Jinqiu nodded quickly: "Of course we support doing good deeds, and this is a great thing to accumulate virtue. Mom supports you."
Chen Jianye smiled bitterly: "Of course it's wrong for you to do good things, but..."
He glanced at the newspaper and said, "Don't show off your wealth. You donated so much money all at once. I'm worried that someone will target you."
Chen Fan smiled and shook his head: "Dad, you're overthinking it. How is it possible..."
"How is it impossible!"
"Let's not talk about anything else. Just this morning, your mother and I have received at least four or five calls from our relatives."
"Um?"
Chen Fan frowned: "Second aunt, did Third Uncle and the others call you?"
"Your second aunt didn't say anything. She didn't ask you to lend her money directly. She just asked about the news and praised you for your success. Your third aunt called and complained a lot. She seemed to be reminding you that since our family is rich, we should take care of our relatives."
Chen Fan was a little puzzled: "Logically speaking, Second Auntie shouldn't be that kind of person, right?"
Chen Jianye said with emotion, "Some people can share your hardships, but they may not be able to share your happiness."
"We were all poor before, and we occasionally received help from them, so the relationship between us was pretty good."
"Later, when you became rich, you lent money to everyone to start their own business, and everyone felt proud to follow you. The relationship became better and better."
"But when you become richer and richer, and you donate 500 million yuan, do you think they would have any thoughts if they saw it?"
"After all, you only lent them a few hundred thousand to do business, so it was still a loan."
"How would people feel about this amount of money compared to your wealth?"
"Your second aunt and third aunt are the closest relatives to our family, not to mention all the other messy relatives..."
"Will everyone feel unbalanced?"
