"Sir, what are you going to do..." Butler Chen looked at Shen Muzhi in surprise.
Shen Mu glanced indifferently at Xiang Zhilan, who was leading the children to work not far away.
"Isn't this a bad idea?" Butler Chen felt that Xiang Zhilan seemed tough and stubborn, but was actually soft-hearted. Playing the victim to gain sympathy would probably be more effective than forcing her.
"A swift and decisive approach is needed." Shen Muzhi felt she had already given her enough time. If she continued to indulge her indefinitely, would she have to find a cheap father for the child?
“Uh…” Butler Chen was speechless.
After Xiang Zhilan and the children finished their work, she led them into the house and began teaching.
The children she cared for were only four or five years old, not yet of primary school age, and in order to save the orphanage's expenses, these children attended kindergarten here.
Butler Chen pushed Shen Muzhi outside the bungalow. Through the greenish glass window, they could see Xiang Zhilan teaching the children the simplest numbers.
Shen Muzhi frowned slightly as the chalk dust, which had been swirling in the air, was inhaled into her nostrils.
"Go and fetch the dean." He didn't take his eyes off Xiang Zhilan, but spoke to Butler Chen.
Butler Chen immediately went to fetch the dean.
Although Xiang Zhilan was teaching the children, she kept an eye on the people outside the window. She sighed inwardly. Shouldn't she be resting at home after such a serious injury? Did she already know that there was no hope of ever getting back up, so she didn't care?
"Mr. Shen, is what you said true?" The dean was a little incredulous at what she had heard. If they could really get such a large donation, the old bungalow could be demolished and rebuilt, and the children's tuition, living expenses and other miscellaneous expenses for the next year would be covered.
"This is the first payment, and there will be more in the future. I also want to set up a scholarship fund for the children until they finish university." As Shen Muzhi spoke, his eyes fell back into the window.
The dean knew he was there for Xiang Zhilan, so he smiled and said, "Xiao Xiang is also a kind-hearted person. She often came here to do volunteer work in college. After graduating and starting work, she would still make regular donations every month. There aren't many people who can persist in doing good deeds quietly for so long."
Upon hearing this, Shen Muzhi's usually sharp gaze softened slightly.
He knew she was soft-hearted. Most women who got pregnant in that situation would have an abortion, especially since he was in trouble in Syria at the time and his life was uncertain. Even if she had an abortion, no one would blame her.
But she couldn't do it. She would rather sacrifice her future and be a single mother than have the heart to do it.
To outsiders, she might seem like a foolish woman, too soft-hearted to harm even a tiny, insignificant child. But to him, she seemed to radiate light.
“Dean, I need your help.” Shen Muzhi turned to the dean and said, “Don’t let her work here anymore.”
“But…she really likes the children here.” The director hadn’t expected Shen Muzhi to make such a request.
“I know she likes it, but she’s not really suited to continue working so hard right now.” Shen Muzhi looked at the hospital director, a faint smile playing on his lips. “The doctor said she needs to take good care of herself during her pregnancy.”
"Oh? Xiao Xiang is pregnant?" the dean exclaimed in surprise.
Butler Chen was equally astonished, his eyes widening in disbelief: "Miss Xiang is pregnant?!"
