133: Chapter 131 Guests Arriving 133: Chapter 131 Guests Arriving The three quickly arrived at the director’s room, which was also very plain, with the only item of value being a small 17-inch television.
On the small bed in the room, a little girl who looked to be about twelve or thirteen lay there, her complexion pale and sickly.
“Niuniu, Shanshan sister is here to see you,” Liu Shanshan said with tears welling up in her eyes as she approached the bed.
Niuniu opened her eyes too, and her face immediately lit up with joy when she saw Liu Shanshan, “Sister Shanshan, you’re here.” Her voice was still weak.
Tangyu approached the bed and sized Niuniu up, knowing about her condition already.
Niuniu quickly noticed Tangyu’s unfamiliar face and shyly shrank closer to Liu Shanshan.
“Niuniu, don’t be afraid.
This is Brother Yu.
He is sister’s good friend.
By the way, Tangyu, aren’t you skilled in medicine?
Could you check what illness Niuniu has?” Liu Shanshan said.
Tangyu said, “I’ve already checked, there’s nothing seriously wrong.
She has some anemia and low blood sugar, which has caused her weakness.
It’s just poor nourishment, nothing serious.
As long as she pays attention to her nutrition from now on, she should gradually get better.
This, we can only slowly adjust.
For now, let’s get a bowl of sugar water, I’ll help her adjust first.”
Hearing about Niuniu’s condition, both Liu Shanshan and the director fell silent, feeling a bitter taste in their hearts.
The orphanage’s expenses were too high, and there was hardly any source of income, relying solely on the director’s desperate support, so it was normal for nutrition to fall short.
Liu Shanshan felt very pained, but she was also powerless.
Her monthly salary was too small, barely covering her own expenses, and the rest was mostly spent on the orphanage, yet that help was still too meager.
“Alright, I will go make some sugar water,” said the director as he left the room.
Liu Shanshan sighed quietly.
Soon after, Tangyu brought over a bowl of sugar water.
Taking the sugar water, he motioned for Niuniu to drink it.
Niuniu looked at Liu Shanshan, then took the bowl and drank the water.
Tangyu’s fingers gently touched Niuniu’s abdomen, causing her to shrink back in fear slightly.
“Niuniu, don’t be afraid.
Brother Yu won’t harm you,” Liu Shanshan immediately reassured her.
After infusing a trace of Pure Yang Qi into Niuniu’s body, her complexion quickly improved and gained some color.
However, Tangyu knew this was only a temporary fix and not a cure.
To fully recover, Niuniu still needed to be treated slowly.
After all, it wasn’t exactly an illness.
Of course, Tangyu had the ability to cure her completely, but it would require several courses of treatment and could be somewhat troublesome.
“Sister Shanshan, I feel much better now.
Thank You, Brother Yu, you’re really amazing,” Niuniu said.
“Alright, let’s go out and let Niuniu rest for a while,” Tangyu said.
Once outside the room, the director looked at Tangyu with a face full of gratitude, “I’m really thankful to you.
I didn’t expect you to be a doctor.”
“Hehe, director, you’re too polite.
It was just a small effort on my part,” Tangyu said.
“Director, director, there are more visitors, they came by car too,” a little boy ran over to say, the same one who had gone to fetch the director earlier.
The little boy was very lively and also very fast on his feet.
“Hmm, visitors, what visitors?” the director frowned slightly.
“Let’s go have a look.”
The three of them made their way to the front courtyard and saw from afar a car parked inside, with a middle-aged couple being surrounded by children.
The couple, both in their early forties, were dressed not lavishly but not commonly either, suggesting they came from a fairly well-off background.
The car they drove was a BMW.
Tangyu’s gaze quickly swept over the two people, sensing something off about them; they didn’t appear as kind-hearted as they seemed on the surface.
He felt a certain malevolent aura emanating from them, which ordinarily wouldn’t be found in just any ordinary couple.
This feeling prompted Tangyu to take a closer look at them, suspecting there was more to them than met the eye.
“Who might you be?” the director went up and asked.
With a smile, the couple greeted the director, the woman said, “You must be the director here.
My last name is Wang, and my husband’s is Li.
We are here today to ask for your help with a matter.”
“Oh, Miss Wang, may I know what it is?” the director inquired.
Miss Wang said, “Director, here’s the thing.
My husband and I have been married for twenty years, but we have had no children.
We both are infertile by nature, so we have been unable to have children in this lifetime.
Life was hard before, and we managed without children.
Now our careers have taken a small turn for the better, and our days have become more comfortable.
But when we return home, it always feels empty and hollow, as if something is missing.
After discussing it, my husband and I decided to adopt two children.
We have thought about this for a long time, and that is why we have come today, hoping the director would allow us to adopt two children.”
“Yes, director, we have been to several orphanages, but we haven’t felt that any of the children were quite right.
Coming here, my wife and I both felt a strong connection with a few of the children, and we would like to adopt two.
If the director would be willing to help us, we are prepared to donate three hundred thousand to improve the conditions here as a small contribution, hoping the director would fulfill this wish of ours,” Mr.
Li said with a sincere face.
Tangyu continued observing the couple closely.
Even though they seemed very sincere, he still had a bad feeling about them.
He had a sense that under their sincerity, something was hidden.
Three hundred thousand?
The director and Liu Shanshan were both startled, for to them that was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
Three hundred thousand was enough to allow the entire orphanage to live a normal life for two years.
If they tightened their belts, it would be enough for three years, and given the current standard of living, it was estimated it could support them for three to four years.
Moreover, adoption was a good thing.
Handing a child over to a capable family was beneficial for the child.
The orphanage was only a temporary home and it could not possibly become a permanent home for everyone.
Deep down, the director also hoped that capable people could adopt these poor children so they could lead normal lives.
“Mr.
Lee and Mrs.
Wang are truly charitable, I am truly grateful for your kindness.
You wish to adopt a child, and I certainly have no objection, but it has to depend on the children’s wishes.
If the children agree to go with you, I would be absolutely delighted, but if they disagree, I won’t force them.
Of course, I will do my utmost to persuade the children,” the director said.
“Hehe, that’s really great, director, I would like to adopt this boy and this girl,” Mrs.
Wang said, referring to two orphans who were both around seven or eight years old.
The two children being pointed at also looked bewilderedly at the director and Liu Shanshan, while the other children also looked over.
Among these children, many were already very sensible.
But the two seven or eight-year-old children were still somewhat unclear.
“Come with me,” the director said to the two children, and after speaking, he signaled for Mr.
Lee and Mrs.
Wang to follow him for a detailed discussion.
As the director and the rest left, the other children expressed their feelings.
Some enviously said, “I also wish someone would adopt me, then I would have a home.”
Other children said, “I don’t want that.
Other people’s homes are always someone else’s, this place is our home, and I think living here is also very happy and joyful.”
Seeing these children, Liu Shanshan sighed softly again, “If there really are capable and kind-hearted people who can adopt them, that wouldn’t be a bad thing at all.
At their age, they should be in a good phase to receive education.
If Mr.
Lee and his wife can successfully adopt, that would be good too.
With their donation of three hundred thousand, the children could also live a better life.”
Speaking of donations, an idea flashed through Tangyu’s mind.
He could have Gao Mingsheng donate that one million directly to the orphanage, wouldn’t that be a win-win situation?
And he could also ask him to help smooth out the process so that the children could go to school and receive the education they were entitled to.
The country’s policies are also favorable now, with primary and secondary schools not requiring tuition.
As long as schools are willing to take them, they can definitely go to school.
With this thought in mind, Tangyu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Shanshan, soon someone will donate a huge sum of money to this place, and then the children won’t have to worry about their lives anymore, and they should be able to go to school as well.”
Liu Shanshan was suddenly startled, staring blankly at Tangyu.
“What do you mean?” Liu Shanshan was very puzzled, who was going to donate a large sum of money to this place?
“Hehe, trust me, you will know soon,” Tangyu said.
Liu Shanshan became even more curious and puzzled, not quite understanding the meaning of Tangyu’s words, but seeing the serious look on Tangyu’s face, it didn’t seem like he was joking.
Besides, even if he was joking, it wouldn’t be appropriate to joke about such a matter.
Moreover, generally what Tangyu said tended to come true.
His confidence implied that perhaps he had thought of a way to help the orphanage?
“Tangyu, do you have a way to help the children?” Liu Shanshan asked excitedly.
Tangyu nodded and said, “Yeah, I should.”
“Really?
That’s so great, I really admire you.
If you can really do it, I will really have to thank you properly on behalf of the children,” Liu Shanshan said, knowing that Tangyu had considerable influence.
Just the fact that he was connected to the Lin Group was telling.
Could it be that he was thinking of asking the Lin Group for help?
No matter what, as long as it helped the children, that was good.
“What, you don’t believe me?” Tangyu asked.
Liu Shanshan immediately shook her head and said, “No, no, of course not, how could I not believe you?
It’s just that I got a bit excited for a moment.
Tangyu, I’m serious, if you’re willing to help the children, I will be very, very grateful to you, I will remember your kindness for a lifetime.”
“Hehe, you say it like that, and now I’m kind of looking forward to it.
So, what do you plan to do to thank me after I’ve done it?” Tangyu asked, his words obviously carrying an alternate meaning.
Liu Shanshan could naturally tell; she had been teased by Tangyu many times these days.
The hidden meaning behind his words was clear: he wanted her to offer herself in return.
But I definitely wouldn’t say that.
“You’re so annoying, stop being frivolous,” Liu Shanshan said.
“Hehe, not at all, I’m very serious,” Tangyu said with a laugh, enjoying Liu Shanshan’s blushing look the most.
