"Whatever you have to say, Xiao Lu, just tell me. You can tell me whatever you want to say. Don't be shy."

The dean looked at Lu Chaoli with a smile, and became more and more satisfied as he looked at her, just like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

Lu Chaoli was not a shy person. After hearing what the dean said, he immediately said, "Xiao Jiang and I are planning to get married. The date is set for September 8th. I came here specifically to tell the dean in person."

The dean was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and suddenly widened his eyes: "Marriage?"

"That's right, Mother Dean, I'm getting married."

Jiang Li walked in with a watermelon plate and looked at the surprised and happy dean with a smile.

"Good, this is good!"

The dean nodded heavily, his eyes reddened as he looked at Jiang Li, who had grown into a big girl, walking towards him.

"Why is the dean's mother crying?"

After seeing the dean's red eyes, Jiang Li quickly put the fruit plate in her hand on the table, and walked to the dean's side and sat down.

"Dean mom, don't cry. Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Jiang Li turned the dean's body to face her and raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The dean shook his head and quickly wiped away his tears: "It's okay, I'm fine, I'm happy, I'm happy."

The dean looked at Jiang Li lovingly. In her heart, she had already regarded Jiang Li as her own child. Now that Jiang Li had found a good man and was going to get married, the dean was happy but reluctant. Various emotions intertwined together, and her eyes were filled with tears as she spoke.

Jiang Li hugged the director and patted her on the back, her voice a little muffled: "Director mother, don't cry, I am getting married, not never coming back. Chao Li and I will come to the welfare home to visit you as soon as we have time in the future."

Jiang Li knew that the dean was reluctant to let her go, and so was she. She had been without parents since she was a child, and it was the dean who took her in and raised her. Although they were not related by blood, their relationship had long surpassed that of blood thicker than water.

The dean hugged Jiang Li tightly, rested his chin on her shoulder and nodded.

"Don't worry, Dean. I will take good care of Xiao Jiang and prevent her from suffering any grievances. If we have time in the future, we will come back to visit you often."

Lu Chaoli made a serious assurance to the dean, then took the toilet paper on the table and wiped Jiang Li's red eyes.

The dean hugged Jiang Li to calm down, then took a deep breath and let go of Jiang Li.

"Look at me, why am I crying? I'm sorry to make Xiao Lu laugh."

The dean looked apologetic and looked at Lu Chaoli with a smile.

Lu Chaoli handed the toilet paper to the director and looked at her seriously. "Xiao Jiang grew up in the orphanage and has long regarded you as a family member. Now that Xiao Jiang is going to get married, I understand that the director is reluctant to let her go. Please rest assured, I will take good care of Xiao Jiang."

The dean took the tissue handed to him by Lu Chaoli and wiped his tears. He held Jiang Li with one hand and Lu Chaoli with the other, and put their hands together.

She patted their hands and said with relief: "Although this is our first meeting, I can see that Xiao Lu is a good child worthy of trust. I feel relieved to leave Xiao Jiang to you. Xiao Jiang is sometimes stubborn, so I hope Xiao Lu can bear with him."

Lu Chaoli pursed his lips and looked serious: "Thank you for your trust, Dean. I will definitely treat Xiao Jiang well and will never let you down."

"Okay, okay, with Xiao Lu's words, I can rest assured."

The dean turned his head and looked at Jiang Li, "Xiao Jiang, you will be an adult after you get married. You must not be stubborn anymore when you have your own family. If you have anything to discuss, you and Xiao Lu should discuss it together. You two need to slowly get used to each other so that you can live a better life together."

Jiang Li tilted her head and leaned on the dean's shoulder: "I know, don't worry, dean mother."

The dean smiled and held the two's hands tightly. Now that Jiang Li had found someone she could trust and rely on, she could finally put her mind at ease.

When Jiang Li brought Lu Chaoli back, the dean specially prepared a table of food. Usually, the dean ate at the same table with the children, and it was so lively with more than a dozen children gathered together.

Lu Chaoli is the only child in the Lu family. He usually only eats at the same table with other children when he goes to Zhao Congwen and Li Defu's homes. It is the first time he has seen a scene of more than a dozen children eating together.

Looking at the children's rosy little faces, Lu Chaoli liked them from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Li also likes these innocent and lovely children in the welfare home, and now she has become friends with them.

Seeing the smile on Jiang Li's face, Lu Chaoli also smiled, but a hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes when he thought of his own physical condition.

He could see that Xiao Jiang liked children very much, but he was worried that his health would not allow him and Xiao Jiang to have children of their own.

Thinking of this, the light in Lu Chaoli's eyes gradually dimmed. Although he still seemed to be smiling, the smile did not reach his eyes.

Jiang Li, who was surrounded by the children, did not notice the emotions hidden in Lu Chaoli's eyes, but the dean who was looking at them with a smile noticed it.

The dean kept the matter to himself and after dinner he called Jiang Li to his room and had a private conversation with her.

Thinking of the loneliness he saw in Lu Chaoli's eyes during the meal just now, the dean calmly said tentatively: "Xiao Jiang, I can see that Xiao Lu is a good child worthy of trust. I am relieved that you two can be together."

"Lu Chaoli is a very nice person. Don't worry, Dean Mama. I will live a good life in the future."

The dean continued, "What does Xiao Lu's family do? Have you met his parents?"

Jiang Li nodded: "I have met them. Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu treat me very well. Their family raises pigs and they just opened a pig farm."

"Just treat you well, that's all. People exchange sincerity for sincerity. If they treat you well, you should also be filial to them."

After hearing that Mr. and Mrs. Lu treated Jiang Li very well, the dean was completely relieved.

It is enough that the man is trustworthy and the parents-in-law treat people well.

"Don't worry, Dean Mama. I saved it."

Jiang Li nodded and agreed to everything the dean said, fearing that the dean would worry about her again after she left.

"That's good, that's good. Our little Jiang has grown into a big girl in the blink of an eye. She is going to get married soon. Dean Mom is really happy for you."

"Dean Mom, meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life."

Jiang Li acted coquettishly towards the dean and leaned on his shoulder, her whole body filled with happiness.

The dean asked about all the matters in Lu Chaoli's family. Thinking of the strange behavior of Lu Chaoli during the meal just now, he hesitated but still asked about his inner guess.

"Xiao Jiang, is Xiao Lu having any health problems?"
