Chapter 1179: The Vicious Female Supporting Character’s Tool for Winning Favor (13)
When Shi Chu heard what Mrs. Zhu said, he immediately raised his head and asked her innocently, "Auntie, why did you come to the orphanage to adopt a child? Is it because you can't have children yourself?"
Mrs. Zhu's face suddenly darkened, and her originally sad face immediately became mean, as if she had been hit in the sore spot: "Can your child talk? If I could give birth to a child, would I have to come here to adopt someone else's child?!"
Shi Chu was not frightened by her ugly expression at all, and continued to ask her: "I know that some people may give birth to their own biological children after adopting a child, and then the adopted child will be despised, beaten and scolded, and may even be abandoned again... If you were my parents, would it be the same?"
"Haha, little girl knows a lot..." Mr. Zhu showed an embarrassed look on his face, but he quickly recovered and coaxed her in a kind manner, "We are all good people with good manners. Of course, we can't adopt a child and then abandon her. Little girl, don't worry. If you become my daughter, I will definitely love you as if you were my own..."
When the director heard Shi Chu say these "too mature" words at such a young age, she was very surprised and started to worry. After all, what Shi Chu said was very likely to happen. There was an example in their orphanage before where a child was adopted and the adoptive parents soon gave birth to their own children, so he was abandoned. At such a young age, he was exploited as a nanny and a slave in the family. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and fled back to the orphanage, and then everyone knew about his story.
The dean's aunt didn't want the same thing to happen to Shi Chu, so she looked at Mr. and Mrs. Zhu with caution.
"Then how much property does your family have? I heard from other children that some people come to the orphanage to adopt children not because they want children, but to find a free servant for their family who will work hard and not be paid. If your family has no money and can't afford a nanny, then I don't want you to be my parents." Shi Chu said extremely "snobbish" words in an innocent tone.
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Zhu and Mr. Zhu looked at her with different eyes. Mrs. Zhu said sarcastically, "You are so vain and snobbish at such a young age. It's really eye-opening. Husband, even if we want to adopt a child, we can't adopt one like this. Who knows if he will become an ungrateful person in the future?"
Mr. Zhu nodded. He could accept that the adopted child was a little dumb, but he could not accept that the child started to covet his property before he was adopted back. Therefore, he suddenly became cold towards Shi Chu and completely gave up the idea of adopting her.
"It seems that this child doesn't like my husband and me very much. Maybe he is not destined to be with us." He laughed and exchanged a few words with the director, then suggested going to see the other children.
The director's aunt understood immediately that they were not planning to adopt Shi Chu, but such things could not be forced. She was not disappointed. After telling Shi Chu to go and play by himself, she took Mr. and Mrs. Zhu to meet the other children.
Shi Chu once again avoided the fate of being adopted, but she was not very happy because as long as she was still in the orphanage, the possibility of being adopted still existed.
It's not that she is narcissistic, her body is indeed very superior. As the male protagonist of this world, Shen Zhiye has a naturally outstanding appearance and is handsome and extraordinary; although Wei Jing is vicious and love-brained, as a supporting actress, she is delicate and beautiful, even more beautiful than the heroine Xie Manman. Therefore, as their child, Shi Chu's appearance combines the best of both of them. She is very beautiful at a young age. Whenever someone who wants to adopt a child comes to the orphanage, she is the first choice.
But she had to work hard to show her "extremely bad character" - just like this time when facing the Zhu couple, to dissuade those who wanted to adopt her because of her appearance.
Was she going to disfigure herself to avoid being adopted? Shi Chu quickly discarded this idea. She just loved beauty, so how could she bear to disfigure herself for such a small matter? Was she really going to find someone to adopt her? Or was she pretending to be sick?
Shi Chu was troubled for several days, but fortunately no one came to the orphanage to adopt a child during this period, so she finally had some peace and quiet.
But the director of the orphanage was very worried about her: "Chu Chu, do you really not want to be adopted? In fact, there are not as many bad people in the world as you think. You don't have to pretend to be bad every time to scare people away. If you do this too much, what if others misunderstand you as a bad child?"
Shi Chu's temper changed drastically every time she saw someone coming to adopt her. How could the director not see that she did it on purpose? Of course, Shi Chu didn't pretend very seriously, so it was normal for her to notice.
"Auntie Wang, other people's misunderstandings are just misunderstandings. It has nothing to do with me. They can go and adopt other good children. I don't have any problems adapting to the orphanage, and it's fine for me to stay here. Other children need adoption more than me." Shi Chu said to the director aunt seriously.
The aunt touched her head and sighed, thinking that she must have been wronged at home in the past. Maybe her parents treated her badly, which made her so resistant to having new parents. In order not to be adopted, she even defiled herself. It was really heartbreaking that she would protect herself like this at such a young age...
The director's aunt not only did not think it was terrible that she was so scheming at such a young age, but she felt very sympathetic towards her and treated her better - of course, this might also be due to her good looks, after all, people are easily influenced by other people's appearance.
That day, Shi Chu was too impatient to play "Eagle Catches Chicken" with other childish kids, so he sat alone on the lawn in the backyard watching ants.
The director thought she was being excluded, so she quickly took out some toys for her.
Shi Chu didn't want the stuffed dolls that had been played with so much that they had lost their original shape. She picked up a magnifying glass, lay on the grass, and observed the ants on the ground one by one.
At some point, a small figure approached her and stared at the magnifying glass in her hand with her.
Shi Chu turned his head to look at him and found that he was a very unfamiliar little boy, about five years old, with beautiful phoenix eyes, curly hair, picturesque features, and as cute as a doll. This was the first child Shi Chu had seen who looked comparable to himself.
So her face-obsession gene started to kick in, and she started chatting people up: "Are you the new kid? Is there no one else at home?"
The curly-haired boy didn't answer her, but just glanced at her indifferently, and his eyes turned back to the magnifying glass in Shi Chu's hand.
