Chapter 691: Want My Red Packet
It turned out that Daddy wanted the children at the welfare home to learn how to draw so Granny brought her here. It was definitely not because they did not want her. She had already become the princess of the Chu family; this was never going to change.
She raised her chin as she was wearing a dress that her Granny had just bought, and her accessories were also bought by her Granny. She even had a watch. The children in school did not have it, let alone the people here.
She did that until she saw someone she knew.
“Lin Guo’er, you weakling cripple,” she ran over and stood in front of Lin Qing and Guo’er, before placing her arms akimbo and said rudely.
Lin Qing pushed the wheelchair and wanted to bring his sister away.
“Lin Qing, my Granny is there. I won’t allow you to see her. This welfare home is my Daddy’s.” The more Chu Xiang said, the more delighted she felt. Everything here was owned by her Daddy. She did not want to see the cripple so she could just get her Daddy to chase them away.
Lin Qing did not utter a word and continued pushing his sister away.
“Lin Qing, don’t forget.” Chu Xiang ran over and blocked the two siblings.
“You refused to go with my Granny in the past so don’t come find her.”
“Don’t worry.” Lin Qing placed his hand on his sister’s head and tidied it gently. “I don’t have a Granny; I only have a sister.” At this time, his smile had a tinge of childishness, but within it was a strong persistence.
Yes, back then, he could have been adopted; but he did not regret it.
Unless that Granny took his sister with him. If not, he rather stayed at the welfare home with his sister, all the way until his sister grew up.
No one knew but Song Wan actually wanted Lin Qing and not Chu Xiang. It was because Lin Qing looked like Chu Lui in some ways so she wanted this child from the very start. However, Lin Qing refused to be adopted. The family he was going to needed to take his sister along with him.
Initially, it was not a problem adopting another child as the Chu family could well afford it. However, Guo’er was crippled. No matter what, Song Wan did not want to adopt a disabled person as her granddaughter. As she was hesitating, Chu Xiang ran out and tugged on Song Wan’s sleeves, crying, “Granny, did you come to pick me?”
The word ‘granny’ instantly made Song Wan change her mind.
No matter if Chu Xiang did it on purpose or not, she was already the princess of the Chu family; the Lin Qing that Song Wan was supposed to adopt was still in the welfare home. It had already been close to a year, and they were still here.
Actually, children like Lin Qing could easily find a nice family. He was good-looking and well-mannered, but he refused to leave his sister behind. Once they saw Guo’er, everyone was just like Song Wan and decided not to adopt Lin Qing.
If they could have a healthy child, why would they want to adopt a crippled one? It was not that they did not have a kind heart; it was just that they had a lot of choices. So they would naturally not choose the pair of siblings in the end.
After seeing Lin Qing and Guo’er leave, Chu Xiang then ran to Song Wan’s side and held her hand possessively.
“Rainy…” Song Wan saw Rainy playing happily with some children and wanted to go and find her granddaughter. However, Chu Xiang was pulling her very tightly and did not let go. When she finally appeased Chu Xiang and wanted to go find Rainy, she had already disappeared. She brought Chu Xiang along with her and looked everywhere, but she still could not find her. Coincidentally, she met the director; and they had a talk again which made her forget all about Rainy.
Meanwhile, in the toilet of the welfare home, Xia Ruoxin turned on two taps: one for her and the other for Rainy. Rainy washed her own hands seriously.
She washed her palm and then the back of her hand. She needed to wash her hand until it was clean.
After she was done, Xia Ruoxin took out tissue papers from her bag and wiped Rainy’s hand dry.
They were going to go home in a while. This time was a success. Even though she did not calculate, she knew that they did receive quite a substantial amount of donations; and there were a few children who were adopted.
The studio was also due to open three days later, and the venue was not far away from here. Other than the poor children at the studio, there were also orphans who had no family.
After they went home, Rainy placed her hand behind her back and followed behind Xia Ruoxin.
“What’s the matter?” Xia Ruoxin stopped and almost bumped into her Rainy. She pulled Rainy in front.
Cautiously, Rainy raised one of her hands.
“Mommy, can you give me my red packet?”
She knew that her mother would give her money every year during Chinese New Year. When Daddy was still around, he would give it to Mommy. However, it was still quite some time until New Year, but she could not wait any longer.
“Why?” Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter and stared at her big eyes that looked like grapes. Why did the child, who viewed money the same as dirt, want money?
Rainy bit her finger and said, “Mommy, Rainy wants to give the little sister money for her sickness. Rainy was sick before so she knows it can be painful. Rainy wants her to get better soon so she would not be in pain anymore.”
Xia Ruoxin was pleased. Her Rainy was well-behaved and mature.
She took out ten dollars from her pocket and placed it in Rainy’s hand. “Here, save this first. Next time, when you have more money, you can give them to that sister.”
“Thank you, Mommy.” Rainy took the money and ran away happily. She placed her money into the drawer; even though she did not know how much it was, she knew that it was still money.
Xia Ruoxin sighed softly.
Actually, she did ask the director about Guo’er’s illness. At this stage, it was useless to have money. Her body was different from the other children. She was small, and her bones were softer than the other children so she could not fix prosthetics now. They could only wait until she was older, and her bones had fully grown out before they could fix the prosthetics. It would not cost much.
She felt that Guo’er’s leg was one, but what that car accident had left behind for her was not only the injury on her leg… but also left her heartbroken and scarred.
“Meow…”
The cat came over unknowingly and hugged the owner’s leg. It was time for food.
Xia Ruoxin carried it up and placed it on the sofa. Naturally, it would not die as no matter how fat and dumb it was. It was still a cat that grew claws that could scratch people.
