Chapter 136 Several Tests
G>; Xu Yangyang and Jiang Runan's words successfully dispelled the dean's doubts. In the end, he became complacent, thinking that what Jiang Runan and the others said was true.
"I don't have any special hobbies. I just like children and I'm kind-hearted. Because of the children's requests, I've stayed here for so many years..."
The dean talked a lot about his own personality. If Xu Yangyang hadn't seen him bragging and being arrogant before, she might have actually believed what he said.
Helplessly following his lead, Jiang Linan and Xu Yangyang quickly finished their meal and planned to return to their room to rest.
At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the children came out to play again. This time, the two aunts were watching the children on the field.
"Tell me, are they looking at the children or at us?" Xu Yangyang stood under the shade of the tree and looked at the children playing. She always felt that this scene was very dazzling.
"Of course they're watching us. Believe it or not, if we weren't here, these kids probably wouldn't even have the chance to come out and play."
Jiang Lunnan was knowledgeable and could tell at a glance that the fear and alarm in the children's eyes came from the two aunts not far away. Their expressions were completely different from when they were playing in the morning.
"In my opinion, these two people here probably won't let us go to the child easily." Xu Yangyang had just told Jiang Linan to divert the attention of the two people when she found the dean coming over.
"Have you chosen any child?" The dean seemed to be flattered by their flattery and was no longer as cautious as before. When he spoke of the children, it was as if they were just objects, not living people.
"No," Xu Yangyang continued, "Choosing a child is the most important thing. How could we possibly decide the outcome so easily?"
But the director was different this time. He didn't let Xu Yangyang continue to choose. Instead, he asked, "But you've been selecting for a long time. The children have high expectations of you. The longer it takes, the more children will be hurt in the end!"
It was clearly him who hurt the child, but now he is blaming them!
How ridiculous!
Xu Yangyang controlled her temper and said, "We also want to find a child that suits our eyes, but the children here are all too obedient, which makes it difficult for my husband and I to make a decision."
"Especially for a family like ours, if we choose a bad child, won't our family business be ruined?"
Jiang Linan also interrupted at the right time to cover for Xu Yangyang.
With Jiang Runan present, the dean didn't target Xu Yangyang. He just frowned and said, "I've asked the children before, and they all want to go with you. Sir, aren't you planning to have older children? I think those six or seven-year-olds would be suitable."
"Why don't you just come with me? I can help you carefully select the children. I'm also very familiar with their personalities. You can ask me anything you want to know."
The dean looked impatient. Although he had been hiding in the corner for a long time and couldn't find anything wrong with Jiang Lunnan and Xu Yangyang, it was better to be safe than sorry. What if these two people were sent by the higher-ups to inspect?
The image of the child kneeling and kowtowing before him was still vivid in his mind. If these two people had doubts, it would do him no good at all!
"Of course I know how important the child is to you, that's why I plan to take you there to see the child myself."
The dean still had a kind smile on his face and gestured to them both to come and say, "Come with me. I know everything you want to know about the backgrounds of these children."
When Xu Yangyang heard what the dean said, she thought of what he said last night about the possibility of buying and selling organs.
If she guessed correctly, the children here might have been brought here by him through various channels, and then he packaged this "organ farm" as an orphanage.
Those children who were taken away were said to be adopted, but in fact, they were probably treated as organs that could be traded for money!
However, the mice raised in medicine are all fed and well-nourished, but this director is unwilling to invest in these children. He really doesn't want to spend a single cent on them!
Xu Yangyang and Jiang Linan looked at each other and followed the dean to the children.
The children immediately gathered around Xu Yangyang, blinking their big eyes and looking very well-behaved, which made Xu Yangyang feel even more sad.
"Auntie, I'm very obedient and will be filial to you when I grow up. Can you adopt me?"
"Auntie, please adopt me. I'm more obedient than them, I'm older, and I can do math!"
These kids tried hard to promote themselves in front of Xu Yangyang, and seemed not to want to stay here any longer.
If the dean is really good to these children as he said, why would the children be willing to leave such a good dean?
The person in front of you is obviously a stranger, isn't he?
Xu Yangyang suppressed her sadness and turned to the dean, saying, "I remember when I first came here, I saw a lot of children. I don't know where they went. I haven't had time to talk to them properly yet."
The director made a look of embarrassment: "Those children were already sick, so they came out to bask in the sun yesterday. I asked them to go back and rest."
The dean's hidden meaning was very clear. He intended to let Jiang Linan and Xu Yangyang choose one of these children to take away.
If Jiang Linan remembered correctly, those children who were locked up and not at the scene were relatively white and plump, and some of them were also very good-looking. I wonder what the dean was planning to do by keeping them.
The two looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking, so Xu Yangyang said: "I still plan to talk to them all. Maybe there are children there that are suitable for our couple, don't you think, Dean?"
According to the law, if someone meets the adoption requirements, the welfare home should give the children a fair chance instead of covering it up like this.
Although the dean felt more and more that there was something wrong with the couple in front of him, he did not dare to touch their eyebrows. What if they really were coming from higher-ups to investigate? The more he tried to cover it up, the more suspicion he would arouse.
"But they all took their medicine today and haven't woken up from their nap yet. Are you really not going to choose one of these children?"
The director said this despite not giving up, but Xu Yangyang still refused: "It would be better to learn more about the children here. We are also here to adopt a child sincerely, otherwise we would not live here."
Xu Yangyang said sincerely, "I really like them, but in order to choose, I have to spend more time with them."
After hearing what Xu Yangyang said, the children's eyes brightened.
If the person in front of them can help them escape from suffering, then what's wrong with being active in front of them?
