Chapter 138 Forcing Her to Choose
"Isn't this an orphanage? Why do you say I'm here to sell you? Aren't the children who were taken away before adopted?"
The girl answered seriously, "No, when they were taken away, the director never hid anything from us. He always handed over the money and the goods."
"Goods?" Xu Yangyang gritted her teeth, trying not to scare the child in front of her. "Is that how he described you?"
Suddenly, Xu Yangyang thought of the words Chenchen used to describe herself.
He is a filth in the dust. I'm afraid this dean is always belittling the children. Otherwise, how could the children here have no sense of self-esteem?
"Auntie, aren't we?" The little girl's words further confirmed Xu Yangyang's guess. "The dean said that we are all commodities, not people. We just need to behave well and obediently in front of strangers who come here, and we can be bought."
"We are all very obedient here, Auntie, can you buy me?" The little girl's innocence made Xu Yangyang feel even more heartbroken.
"Why are you so looking forward to being bought?" It's obviously an unknown world outside. Is living here more terrifying than facing the unknown?
The little girl lowered her head and said: "The dean is very good to us, but I still think you are very good, Auntie. If you buy me, I will definitely be very happy."
Seeing the child lying, Xu Yangyang didn't have the heart to expose her, so she comforted her in a low voice: "Don't worry, Auntie will definitely let you leave here."
"Really?" The little girl suddenly looked up when she heard Xu Yangyang's words. Tears welled up in her eyes because she had lied to the gentle aunt in front of her. She only realized it when she looked up at Xu Yangyang and hurriedly reached out to wipe them away.
That damn dean looks like a greasy pig. I will definitely bring him to justice!
Xu Yangyang's most vicious adjectives were not an exaggeration to describe the dean. Just as she was cursing the dean in her heart, footsteps were heard outside the door: "Yunyun, are you in there?"
It turns out that the child's name is Yunyun. It's such a free name, but she is tied up in this orphanage. If Chenchen hadn't escaped and spread the news here, it is very likely that Yunyun would have been treated as an object and sold as an organ!
A trace of panic flashed across Yunyun's face. She grabbed Xu Yangyang's hand as if asking for help, not knowing how to start.
"What's the matter?" Xu Yangyang touched Yunyun's head soothingly and asked first.
The aunt outside didn't expect Yunyun to be with Xu Yangyang, and her voice became much gentler: "So you are here, Ms. Xu, how can you help?"
"I don't need any help," Xu Yangyang said, turning on the faucet. After the two washed their hands, she took out a tissue to wipe the water droplets on Yunyun's hands, and walked out with her hand in hers.
When I opened the bathroom door, the aunt who came towards me still had that kind smile on her face. When she saw Yunyun, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
"Yunyun, if you have any problems, just come to me. How can you trouble Ms. Xu?" The aunt reached out to hold Yunyun's hand.
Xu Yangyang actually had no intention of letting go, but Yunyun took the initiative to let go of her hand and walked to her aunt.
When the aunt saw Yunyun coming to her side on her own initiative, she looked at Xu Yangyang with a puzzled look, as if she was very curious about why she was with Yunyun.
Seeing this, Xu Yangyang said, "I didn't expect her to be in the bathroom. I was also using the bathroom, and when I came out, I saw the child about to fall, so I helped her up."
"So that's how it is, Ms. Xu. You might not know this, but our place has leaks all over the place, and the children often sneak out to play. I was worried that she might have gone out to play too, so I came to check on her."
The aunt pretended to care about Yunyun, but Xu Yangyang saw that she was holding Yunyun's hand tightly. The force was so strong that the place where Yunyun was held turned white!
Yunyun's face was calm, as if this level of pain could no longer affect her.
"So that's how it is. You guys really care about the children here." Xu Yangyang said with a fake smile, "When I first saw there were only a few of you here, I thought your love for the children was unevenly distributed."
"How could that be? We have also taken care of children in other welfare homes for many years. Looking at them is as kind as looking at our own children."
Auntie blocked Xu Yangyang at the bathroom door and wouldn't let her leave. Xu Yangyang was anxious but there was nothing she could do.
"By the way, Ms. Xu, what do you think of Yunyun? If you like her, I can talk to the dean and you can take her away today."
The aunt changed the subject and brought the topic to the issue of adopting a child. She was actually planning to force Xu Yangyang to make a choice!
How could this be possible? If she chose Yunyun now, she wouldn't be able to stay here any longer!
"I……"
Just when Xu Yangyang was thinking of an excuse, Jiang Lunnan's voice came from the door: "Come quickly, I have something to ask you!"
Because Jiang Linan had been acting very irritable here, and his aunt knew that he had a bad temper, she could only make way for him when she saw him looking angry.
Xu Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head, hurried to Jiang Runan, and followed him out.
"What's going on? Why are you blocked by her?" Jiang Linan was also surprised. He originally planned to look for Xu Yangyang, but he didn't see her in the activity room. Instead, he found her and her aunt at the bathroom door.
"I was surprised too. Maybe she noticed that the child named Yunyun was missing and thought she had run away with us, so she came to check."
Xu Yangyang frowned and complained to Jiang Linan, "They are really the same as the dean. They are not kind to the children at all. Many of the wounds on these children may have been left by these two aunts."
You have to know that the dean is a man. If he hits the child too hard, such a young child might be beaten to death.
If a woman did it, her strength would be much smaller, and judging by the children's behavior, their fear of the director and their fear of the aunt were actually the same.
"The smiles on their faces seemed so fake. It was as if they didn't smile at all except when they were with us."
No matter how loving they are, it is all fake. Xu Yangyang can clearly tell that their smiles are real.
"I was just pretending to make a phone call outside, and I saw the dean standing guard outside the activity room. They clearly care more about your choice. What impact did our previous words have on them?"
Jiang Linan didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. After all, it meant that Xu Yangyang was completely exposed to their sight, and her every move would be restricted by them.
Because of his "personality", he couldn't get close to the child and could only place all his hopes on Xu Yangyang.
