"Just accept it. This is a gift from me as a good friend. Are you willing to be my friend?"
Looking at the sparkling jewelry, each piece of which was quite valuable, Su Jiu was overjoyed, her eyes sparkling, and she nodded.
"Of course I do!"
Huang Xin has survived a close call; having escaped her ungrateful adopted son and exploitative family, her future is sure to be bright!
Huang Xin was extremely excited. It seemed that she was not dead, and Su Jiu was genuinely happy for her.
However, the vampires in her family probably won't let her off so easily; those people are disgusting! If they cause trouble again, Huang Xin can't be lenient, or it will all come back to the same thing!
Huang Xin's heart skipped a beat.
As a woman who was overly dependent on her brother, she had long been suffocated by her family. Now that she had finally regained her freedom, she would never repeat the same mistake!
The two became inseparable friends on set, even spending time together in the bathroom.
While putting on makeup, Huang Xin suddenly sighed, "I raised an ungrateful person before, and now that I've gotten over it, I feel a little lost in life."
She turned to look at Su Jiu, "Su Jiu, I still want a child to make up for my regrets. Do you think what I'm doing is right?"
Su Jiu did not refute, "Adopting a child does not necessarily mean passing the child through family. Take your nephew, for example. His parents are still alive, and you still live together. You don't even know that they are closer to each other in private."
"And now, this vicious thing has happened—they're trying to kill you for insurance money."
Huang Xin expressed her full agreement after hearing this. She spent half of her time on the crew and had no idea that these people were plotting to kill her at home!
"Then what should I do?"
She really wants a child!
"You can adopt a child from an orphanage!"
Su Jiu's words were a revelation to Huang Xin.
"Go adopt?"
"But those children are all grown up now, and I didn't raise them from a young age. Won't they be distant from me?"
Su Jiu waved her hand, her face beaming with a smile, "I'll go take a look with you after we finish work!"
The children in the welfare home yearn for family affection far more than Huang Xin's nephew!
With hearts full of trepidation, Huang Xin and Su Jiu wrapped themselves up tightly and went to the orphanage together.
After hearing Huang Xin's request and having heard about the recent trending topics, the dean called all the children over to him.
"Ms. Huang Xin, please take whichever child you like."
The children stood in a line, ramrod straight.
Huang Xin took a liking to a boy whose clothes were faded from washing. He was also good-looking, and his eyes shone brightly.
"Xiao Jiu, I think this..."
No! This child is faking it. He stole his faded clothes to gain sympathy and make his adoptive parents like him. He usually bullies other children!
Huang Xin immediately withdrew her hand.
She looked at the next girl with lingering fear. The girl was pretty and dressed like a delicate doll. She was giving her a sweet smile.
【This won't do either; she has a supermale constitution and will do bad things in the future.】
Huang Xin has her eye on another one.
[This one is even worse; she's withdrawn and difficult to get along with!]
**Don't accept this! He'll be abusive later!**
[Ahhh, no way! This won't do either! He's lifting up a girl's skirt!]
After a round of searching, Su Jiu said that all the girls Huang Xin liked were not good enough, either because of bad conduct or mental problems.
Huang Xin is exhausted!
Finally, they came to a boy who was covered in dirt.
Huang Xin didn't really think much of it and sighed slightly.
But then Su Jiu said, "Sister Huang Xin, I think this boy is still quite good-looking after he's washed up."
[Oh my god, Sister Huang Xin, hurry up and choose this boy! He's an absolutely wonderful young man!]
This boy was adopted by his uncle at birth. His aunt beat him every day and didn't feed him, but he was an excellent student and very filial. Unfortunately, his uncle and aunt accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms and died. His grandmother thought he was a jinx and kicked him out.
Huang Xin was shocked. Her gaze fell on the boy's bare arm, and when she saw the crisscrossing scars on his hand, she couldn't help but gasp.
She grabbed the boy's hand, "Who inflicted these injuries? How could you be so cruel to a child!"
Jiang Zhi froze, looked up blankly, and when he saw the beautiful woman dressed in a glamorous manner in front of him, he lowered his head in shame.
Wealthy people dressed in such fine clothes would surely choose clean and elegant children, so why would they...?
"Dean, I've chosen him. What's his name?"
Jiang Zhi was stunned. He had been chosen?
The moment he looked up, Huang Xin fell in love with the boy.
Even beneath his dirty and ragged exterior, his stunningly handsome face remained undeniable, and his eyes were filled with longing for family affection.
The dean was very pleased. "His name is Jiang Zhi. Before he came here, he had outstanding grades and was always the top student in his grade."
Huang Xin was somewhat relieved; it seemed the child was indeed a good child, just as Su Jiu had said.
Before taking him home, Su Jiu wiped his dirty face with a wet tissue and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Wow, you're so handsome! If you grow up in two more years, you'll be even more handsome than the best actor!"
Jiang blushed and answered cautiously, "Thank you for the compliment, sister."
Su Jiu was overjoyed. She pinched his little cheek and took out a beautiful little box from her bag.
"Hello, little Jiang Zhi. From now on, I'll be your Aunt Su. This is a gift for you. Here you go."
Jiang Zhi accepted the gift somewhat shyly, a rare smile appearing on his face. "Thank you, Sister Su..."
Su Jiu is so young and beautiful, he really couldn't bring himself to call her "Auntie".
Seeing how polite the child was, Huang Xin thanked Su Jiu profusely and gave her many gifts, insisting that she accept them.
This time, Su Jiu didn't refuse and took the gift home directly.
Standing in the luxurious villa for the first time, holding a worn-out canvas bag, Jiang Zhi felt completely lost.
Huang Xin prepared new clothes for him and pulled him to the bathroom. "Xiao Zhi, take a shower and change into your new clothes first. We'll eat later."
When Jiang Zhi finished showering and stood in front of Huang Xin, Huang Xin's eyes lit up instantly.
Su Jiu is right, she's struck gold!
Jiang Zhi has a pair of light blue eyes. At only 16 years old, he is already 1.78 meters tall. When he gets older, he will grow to 1.9 meters tall.
And that incredibly handsome face—anyone who didn't know him would think he was a nobleman who had been living away from home!
"Auntie Zhang, bring the medicine box."
After Zhang Ma brought the first-aid kit, Huang Xin pulled Jiang Zhi to sit on the sofa, saying, "Apply the medicine after your shower so that it won't leave a scar later."
Huang Xin genuinely liked Jiang Zhi, and recalling Su Jiu's words about how difficult the child's life had been over the past ten years, she became even gentler in her movements.
