Chapter 139 Adopted
"I think Yunyun knows something. I waited for her outside for a long time and finally saw her come out." Xu Yangyang sighed, "I was about to ask her where Xiaohua was, but I can only say that the aunt came at the perfect time."
Xu Yangyang felt annoyed. If only she had known earlier, she would have asked sooner.
A child as thoughtful as Yunyun should know a lot of things.
"This will only drag on. Continuing to stay here will only make the dean more suspicious of us." Jiang Runan's sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, but when he saw no sign of the dean, he continued, "We need to get out of here quickly, or else the dean will become suspicious and it will be difficult for us to leave."
Xu Yangyang felt that Jiang Lunnan was right: "Leave it to me, I will find Xiaohua soon."
After saying that, he was about to go back to the activity room, but was stopped by Jiang Linan: "If you go back like this, it will arouse their suspicion."
"But if I don't do this, they will also be suspicious. Why don't I take the initiative? Maybe there will be unexpected results."
Xu Yangyang said seriously, looking into Jiang Linan's eyes: "I think this is the most effective way. You just help me watch the dean outside. If he wants to come over, you must stop him."
Jiang Linan had no way to persuade Xu Yangyang, so he had to agree: "Be careful, and come to me if anything happens."
Xu Yangyang agreed and returned to the lounge. She found that the two aunts were looking at her, as if they were very curious about what she had said to Jiang Runan outside.
She pretended nothing happened and sat back in her chair, and was surprised to see that Yunyun was gone.
Perhaps because of talking to her, Yunyun was also locked up by these people!
When Xu Yangyang thought of Yunyun's experience, he became even more anxious.
Her eyes swept across the children, as if she was looking for someone.
Sure enough, after seeing her eager eyes, one of the aunts came over to her and said, "Ms. Xu, what are you looking for? Have you found a child you like?"
"I'm just curious. The children who show up here every day seem a little different. Are many of them sick?"
Facing Xu Yangyang's question, the aunt immediately gave an answer: "Yes, some were fine yesterday, but got sick today. Maybe it's because the conditions here are too poor."
Poor conditions?
When the dean was buying and selling children, you must have made a lot of money. If you had used some of it on the children, their physical conditions wouldn't have become so bad!
Xu Yangyang thought to herself, but smiled and asked, "Can I see those children?"
"This... I'm afraid not. They are all sick. It would be bad if they infect you." The aunt looked like she didn't want to take responsibility, but in fact her eyes kept rolling, wanting to know why Xu Yangyang asked this.
At this moment, Xu Yangyang casually asked, "When I was watching the children playing, I saw a child named Xiaohua. I wonder who she is?"
After Xu Yangyang finished speaking, she kept staring at the aunt in front of her. Her body suddenly stiffened. Although it was only for a moment, Xu Yangyang still caught it.
There's hope, Xiaohua must not have been sold yet!
Xu Yangyang was delighted and asked quickly, "Is she sick too? Then half of the children here are probably sick."
"Where did you hear the name Xiaohua?"
The aunt pretended to be very considerate, but in fact Xu Yangyang knew that if she really told how she knew Xiaohua, even if she made up a story told by a child, the child would be in trouble because of her words!
"I don't know who said it, but they mentioned it once before when they were playing, saying it would be great if Xiaohua could play with them too."
The aunt looked very bad, but she didn't talk too much with Xu Yangyang about Xiaohua.
She also knew that if Xu Yangyang really wanted Xiaohua, they would not be able to hand Xiaohua over as it would arouse Xu Yangyang's suspicion.
But what the aunt didn't expect was that Xu Yangyang really started to be curious about Xiaohua: "I heard from those children that Xiaohua is a very gentle and obedient child. She is also quite old. She seems to meet my and my husband's requirements. Can I meet her?"
"Why don't you look at the other children? They are also very sensible and obedient."
Auntie didn't understand why Xu Yangyang suddenly cared so much about Xiaohua. She avoided the question and refused to tell her where Xiaohua was no matter how Xu Yangyang asked!
But Xu Yangyang persisted: "I really want to meet her. My husband and I can't live here forever and choose children, right?"
The aunt hesitated. After all, she and Jiang Linan had lived here for a long time. If they continued to live there, the things happening in the welfare home would not be kept secret.
The dean also told them that Xu Yangyang should select the children to take away as soon as possible and not let them continue to live here.
But Xiaohua...
"I don't understand. My husband and I have been here for almost two days, and we haven't found a child that suits our eyes. Now we finally have one we plan to take away, and you don't agree?"
Xu Yangyang seemed very angry: "Do you think we are incapable of taking good care of Xiaohua? Don't forget, we have discussed this with your dean!"
The aunt seemed very afraid of the director. After hearing Xu Yangyang's words, her body trembled. Then, under her puzzled gaze, she said calmly: "Actually, these children just miss Xiaohua. She has been adopted a long time ago, and I can't give her to you."
"Really?" Xu Yangyang pretended to be skeptical. "I don't believe it. Did I say that and you found an excuse to put me off?"
Auntie hurriedly shook her head: "Of course not, Xiaohua was really adopted. Our adoption files are sealed. If you don't believe me, I can take you to see it."
Of course Xu Yangyang didn't believe it. If Xiaohua was really adopted, the person in front of her wouldn't have hesitated for so long before telling her.
Besides, Chenchen would not lie to her. He saw Xiaohua being captured with his own eyes. How could he adopt her so soon?
Following behind her aunt, Xu Yangyang continued to talk about the dean's bullying: "I'm warning you, don't lie to me. My husband and I have already discussed this with the dean. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I will tell the dean about this before I leave!"
Xu Yangyang hinted explicitly and implicitly that she had reached a deal with the dean, and that they would make money if they really adopted Xiaohua.
The aunt paused, but continued walking forward: "I'm really not cheap. She was adopted some time ago."
