Chapter 773 THE ‘WORRY-FREE’ DAD
SEEING his son’s happy smile, how could Luo Wei Tian take back what he said? It’s just a party anyway. He only wanted to hold it because he wanted to introduce Luo Yan to everyone. It’s just the right time for it. The other was most certainly back to his full health. And it’s even his 18th birthday. A special occasion to tell everyone that the second son of the Luo family should not be trifled with.That’s right. It would be a perfect opportunity to warn those people. Let them see that the second son of his family was so loved that they would think twice before they tried to offend him.
But Luo Yan was right. Spending time with your family was much more important than throwing a party. A party wasn’t really that necessary. Besides, this was what the birthday celebrant himself wanted. If this was what could make him happy, who was he to deny him that?
”Do you already have an orphanage in mind?” he asked.
”Yes,” Luo Yan nodded. “It’s called Xiao Xing Orphanage. It’s located at the province of Hunan.”
”Hunan?” That’s more than four-hour trip by plane from S City. Luo Wei Tian thought that Luo Yan would pick an orphanage located close by. “Is there any particular reason why you chose this orphanage?”
Luo Yan understood why his father asked this. If he simply wanted to help unfortunate children, then an orphanage located at the city itself would be more practical. He didn’t need to go to a far-off province. But that wasn’t his main goal. His main goal had always been to go back to the place he grew up in and meet the director once more.
”Before I give Dad an answer, I wanted to first say that I’m planning to donate the money that I’ve earned from playing Arcadia. It will just feel more personal that way,” he started. “Since it’s my own money, I have to make sure that it would go to the right people and not be wasted on the pocket of some greedy person. With that, I did some research.”
Luo Wei Tian wanted to say that with him here, who dared to scam his son with his money? But he didn’t want to interrupt Luo Yan as the other was talking. Besides, it’s kind of cute how this son of his explained things for him.
Just look those eyes filled with indignation. He’s like a small warrior ready to fight any injustice he might face. Of course, the word ‘small’ could no longer describe the present Luo Yan.
The childish features that came along with his short stature had now gradually matured. Finally, Luo Yan now looked his age. Not 14 or 15, but a 17-year-old who would soon turn 18. And he was truly thankful for that.
Although he didn’t mind having his son be a lot shorter than his peers, it was still something that he had been constantly worried about. It could turn into a lot of problems for Luo Yan in the future.
His son’s short stature was also a constant reminder to him of the other’s bad health. It made him worry more than necessary. Thus, making him nag at the other whenever he thought that he was doing something dangerous or even when he’s eating something unhealthy. Which was probably a bit annoying for Luo Yan.
It was even much worse during the first two months after the other woke up from the coma. He didn’t even want him to go to school. If it was only up to him, he’d rather have Luo Yan stayed at home until his health was fully back to normal. He only learned how to slightly let go once he saw that Luo Yan was trying hard to get back to his feet and live a normal life. The other couldn’t exactly do that if he was constantly hovering over him.
It was only probably after watching him fight in that game tournament did Luo Wei Tian truly let go.
Now, he only needed to hear the confirmation from the hospital about his son’s health, and he would almost have nothing to worry about.
The worry-free father didn’t know that was his son said to him just now was pure bull crap. Except the fact that he was indeed planning to use his own money to donate, that one was true. The rest, well, he just made it up so the other wouldn’t suspect anything.
”Xiao Xiang Orphanage has helped a lot of kids have a second home and family. And most of them went to live a very normal life full of love from their families. Even big orphanages couldn’t boast about that. It could be seen with just that how much thought Xiao Xiang put into choosing the families that would adopt the kids from their orphanage. They obviously think of the well-being of the children first before their own agenda.
”Even those who weren’t able to be adopted were helped by them so they could finish high school with no problems. They would help those who wanted to continue their education to get scholarships. And those who wanted to work would be introduced to some local establishments. There would probably not many orphanages that could match the thoughtfulness of Xiao Xiang.”
This time, Luo Yan was telling the whole truth. Except that, he was mainly describing the director not the whole orphanage itself. Not everything in Xiao Xiang was all rainbows and sunshine. No matter how good an establishment was, there would still be rotten eggs hidden inside.
But there’s no need for him to mention such things to his father.
”Since Xiao Yan is so convince about this place, then let’s go there the day after your birthday. That way, we can go back on Sunday and there wouldn’t be any problem going back to school the next day,” Luo Wei Tian could only say at the end.
But that didn’t mean that he wouldn’t do his own investigation. Before they went there, he had to know if there’s anything wrong with this Xiao Xiang Orphanage.
