Jiang Xiaorou had never imagined that the director was also an orphan. Could it be that she would run an orphanage because she herself was an orphan? Seeing those homeless children was like seeing herself.
"I'm sorry, Dean, did I ask something I shouldn't have asked?" Jiang Xiaorou really felt that she shouldn't have asked.
But the dean didn't think it was a big deal, because many years had passed and she had let it go long ago. Besides, she was living a good life now with so many children by her side.
She has trained many outstanding children, all of whom are very promising. Every time they come back to see her, they bring a lot of things. During the holidays, they either call her or give her money. She really treats the dean like her mother.
Although she is an orphan, she is not alone. She has many children. How can she be lonely?
"So you've never looked for your family in all these years?" Jiang Xiaorou asked.
She felt that she should stay with her family, as fallen leaves always return to their roots!
"No." The dean shook his head. "It doesn't matter anymore. I have everything now. I feel very happy to be with these children. This is my home."
That’s true.
The director has devoted all her life's efforts to the children in the orphanage. It is really worth it and she feels a great sense of accomplishment. Even if she really passes away one day, I believe she will do so with a smile on her face!
"Dean, you are so great." Jiang Xiaorou quickly opened her bag, took out a check from it, and casually wrote five million on the check.
"Dean, this is a little gift from me. Please keep it and provide better conditions for those children. If it is not enough, just ask." Jiang Xiaorou handed it over with both hands.
Five million.
It wasn't much for Jiang Xiaorou, as she had plenty of money. But for those children, it was a huge sum. Of course, Jiang Xiaorou could have given more, but she was afraid that if she gave too much, the dean wouldn't dare accept it, so she only wrote down five million.
"No, no, how can I take your money?" The dean cannot accept it casually.
Although there are usually many people who come to show their love, they are all very formal, and Xiaorou is Jing Muchen's friend, so the dean is even more hesitant to accept her.
"It's okay. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Seeing those lovely children, I really want to do something for them, but I can't do anything other than give them money. Dean, don't worry. I have plenty of money. I'm not short of it. Five million is the same as fifty yuan to me. Just keep it!"
Jiang Xiaorou is not usually so crazy.
But if she didn't say that, the dean would never take her money.
"Okay, since you said so, I can only accept it. Thank you on behalf of those children, thank you." The dean stood up and bowed to Jiang Xiaorou.
Jiang Xiaorou quickly stood up and helped the director.
"Dean, it's really just a small amount of money. You don't have to be like this." Jiang Xiaorou helped the dean sit down.
The director told Xiaorou a lot about her past, how she started the orphanage, and how many difficulties she encountered in the beginning. She overcame them bit by bit and walked step by step to where she is today.
Jiang Xiaorou felt that it was a great effort just by listening to it. If she didn’t have a strong heart to support her, she would have collapsed long ago!
The food is ready.
Everyone sat together and started eating. Jing Muchen made a few side dishes, which were just fried casually, but they looked delicious just by looking at the colors. Jiang Xiaorou tasted them and gave the chef a big thumbs up.
"Well, Master, you have improved again. You really shouldn't start a company. You should be a chef." Jiang Xiaorou was not exaggerating at all.
"Sure, if you treat me, I'll make it for you every day." Jing Muchen looked at Xiaorou with a smile. Seeing that the corners of Xiaorou's mouth were dirty from eating, he casually pulled out a piece of paper and reached out his hand.
He helped Xiaorou wipe it clean himself. Xiaorou tilted her head back and waited for the master to finish wiping her before continuing to eat. They had really lived together for too long and were very used to each other's kindness.
But the dean saw it all. She could tell that Jing Muchen's kindness to Xiao Rou was definitely more than just a master-disciple relationship. She really felt sorry for Jing Muchen. It was a feeling that one cannot get what one wants. It must be very painful!
"Thank you, Master." Jiang Xiaorou continued eating.
"Slow down, no one is competing with you for it. If the dean sees it, he'll think I've been mistreating you. Didn't I feed you enough?" Jing Muchen said.
It wasn't that he didn't feed her enough, I'm afraid Shen Yancheng didn't let Xiao Rou eat enough usually, otherwise how could he let her be so hungry?
"Who told you to be so good at cooking? I'm just supporting you, do you understand?" Jiang Xiaorou said with a smile.
The dean was particularly happy just watching Jing Muchen and Xiaorou chatting with each other. It was great to be young. When young people were together, they felt so happy just bickering with each other, and all their worries disappeared.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Jiang Xiaorou and Jing Muchen left the orphanage together.
In the car.
Xiaorou was full and leaned there not wanting to move, with her hands gently stroking her belly.
"Why do you always touch your belly? The more you touch it, the bigger it gets. Someone who doesn't know you would think you are pregnant." Jing Muchen reached out and pulled Xiaorou's hand away.
Pregnant?
Jiang Xiaorou suddenly remembered that her period should have come in the next few days! But it was delayed. Although it was only two days, she felt uneasy after hearing what her master said! Could she really be pregnant?
