The gifts that the Ji family prepared for everyone at the orphanage were delivered quickly.
Qiqi excitedly pulled the dean along to hand out gifts to everyone.
As she was sending messages, Qiqi suddenly realized that one person was missing.
"Grandpa Director, where did Little Fatty go?" Little Fatty was one of Qiqi's good friends at the orphanage. On the way back, she kept talking about him to her brothers.
Ji Zhixu had also been wanting to meet her sister's friends at the orphanage and thank them properly.
Upon hearing this, the director said, "Little Fatty was also adopted yesterday. He has already gone to his new home with his parents."
"Is that so?" Qiqi lowered her head sadly. She had prepared a gift for Xiaopang and was planning to share some fun stories about her time at her parents' house with her.
But after only one day, Little Fatty was gone.
Seeing Qiqi's disappointment, Madam Ji couldn't help but squat down to comfort her: "It's okay, Qibao. It's a good thing that Xiaopang has been adopted. It means that he will have his own parents to love him, just like Qibao. We'll ask the director later to get Xiaopang's adoptive parents' contact information. If you want to see him, your parents can take you there."
"Really?" What Qiqi fears most is that she will never see her friends again.
Just like the master and junior brothers and sisters back then.
She failed to overcome her tribulation and suddenly perished; they must be very sad.
"Mom promises you, from now on, whenever you want to see your friends, Mom will go with you," Mrs. Ji promised.
Qiqi instantly brightened up, pouted and gave Madam Ji a quick kiss on the cheek: "Thank you, Mom."
Upon hearing this, the dean, who had been anxiously waiting, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That's great. It seems the Ji family really cares about Qiqi. That's good.
After distributing the gifts, Qiqi took her parents and brothers to visit the place where she used to live.
The children in the orphanage lived in a dormitory, just like a kindergarten dormitory, with a row of small beds close together, completely filling the already small space.
Near the window, there was a row of small tables with the children's toiletries on them.
Inside the small washbasin, neatly folded towels, toothpaste, toothbrush, and other items were arranged.
Each child's name is labeled on the outside to ensure that no one is picked up by mistake.
Photos of the children are hanging on the wall, including a group photo of all the children in the orphanage, as well as some cute moments of the children captured by the teachers.
This will make it convenient for families who are interested in adopting a child to visit and get a preliminary understanding of the child's daily life.
Qiqi pointed to the large group photo hanging at the top and said to Ji Zhixu, "Big brother, can you help me take the photo down?"
"Okay." Although Ji Zhixu was only seventeen years old, he was already very tall, over 180 cm.
With a swift movement, he retrieved the photo of Qiqi, who was standing on tiptoe and still quite a distance away, and handed it to her.
Qiqi, clutching the photos, ran to her little bed and waved to them: "Daddy, Mommy, Big Brother, Sixth Brother, come here quickly! This is Qiqi's bed, and Little Fatty's bed is here. This is Sweetie's, and this is Pingping's..."
As Qiqi spoke, she pointed to the corresponding beds and introduced them to the Ji family.
Then she remembered and pointed to a chubby little boy in the photo, saying, "Mom and Dad, big brother, sixth brother, this is Little Fatty, Qiqi's best friend!"
Qiqi pointed to the chubby boy in the photo and introduced him to the Ji family. But when she looked up, she noticed that the chubby boy was shrouded in a layer of black aura.
Qiqi's expression changed, her chubby little hands quickly began to calculate, and then she exclaimed "Oh dear!"
"What's wrong?" Madam Ji asked immediately.
"Something's wrong! Little Fatty's in danger! We have to go find Grandpa Headmaster!"
After saying that, he turned around, grabbed the photo, and ran off.
The Ji family members quickly gave chase.
The director was in the cafeteria at the time, instructing Aunt Li to add a few more dishes for lunch. He wanted to invite the Ji family to stay for a meal to thank them for investing in the orphanage and giving the children a place to rely on.
"Grandpa Director." Qiqi ran over quickly, holding a group photo of the orphanage in her arms, her little voice slightly distorted.
Seeing her running so fast her feet were practically flying, the dean's face darkened. He disregarded everything else and hurried over to greet her.
He caught the little girl as she ran towards him, scolding her without stopping: "Oh, Qiqi, did Grandpa Dean say you can't run so fast in the cafeteria? There are often oil and water stains on the cafeteria floor. What if you slip and fall and get hurt?!"
"I'm sorry, Grandpa Dean," Qiqi said with a look of understanding, but then she became serious and said, "But Little Fatty is in danger, we have to go save him right away!"
"Alright, Qiqi, Grandpa Director knows you and Xiaopang are close. But the couple who adopted Xiaopang are good people. They wanted to adopt a companion for their sick child."
The dean didn't take Qiqi's words to heart at all, thinking that she was just a child and that she was trying to get him to bring Xiaopang back because she couldn't bear to part with him.
She was too young to understand what a complete family meant to a child.
So the director didn't blame her, but patiently explained, "Qiqi, don't worry, they promised Grandpa Director that they would treat Xiaopang well and wouldn't abandon him like the previous family did. They would treat Xiaopang as their own child. With them, Xiaopang will live a happy life, just like Qiqi."
"But……"
"Alright, Qiqi, how about Daddy, Mommy, and Brother go for a walk somewhere else? Grandpa Director promises you, I'll call Little Fatty later so you can talk, okay?"
"Then Grandpa Dean, let's do it now!" Qiqi insisted.
The dean, though reluctant, couldn't bear to disappoint Qiqi, so he dialed the phone number of the family that had adopted Xiao Pang.
But the phone rang many times, and no one answered until it automatically disconnected.
The dean frowned and explained, "They're probably all busy, or they just didn't see the call."
Having been in the business world, Ji Chengfeng has seen too much deceit and ruthlessness.
When I heard the director say that the family that adopted Xiao Pang did so because their child was not doing well, I became suspicious.
When he couldn't get through on the phone, he simply said, "Dean, there's something I'm not sure if I should say!"
"Mr. Ji, please speak."
"Now there are many families who, because their children have some special diseases and cannot wait for a hospital to match them, will take extreme measures and buy children of similar age from outside, and remove their organs or other organs, just to save their own children."
"However, in the past two years, the country has cracked down on human trafficking, so buying and selling children is not so easy. As a result, many people have come up with other ways."
Before Ji Chengfeng could finish speaking, the dean's face had already turned deathly pale.
