Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 283 Heart of a Child

About ten minutes later, the teacher in her sixties, Ms. Yao, finally finished feeding the little boy.

"Little Wei, why don't you go out and play with the other kids?"

Ms. Yao spoke gently, and the boy named Little Wei nodded somewhat woodenly and then left.

"Ms. Yao, the child looks quite old, why is he still needing…"

Xiao Yaning asked curiously, but her sentence was cut short as Su Chen beside her tugged at her arm.

"It's nothing, that little boy called Little Wei was abandoned, and here there is some..."

Ms. Yao pointed to her own head as she spoke.

"I'm sorry, I..."

Xiao Yaning rubbed her hands together somewhat awkwardly.

"It's fine, no harm done. Please, have a seat," Ms. Yao invited, gesturing to two very worn chairs in the office.

Besides the visibly shaky chair of Ms. Yao, these were the only other two chairs left in the office.

"What brings you two here?"

Ms. Yao took out two disposable cups, poured some boiled water for them, and asked after handing them the cups.

"Ms. Yao, do you remember an event over twenty years ago when a little girl was adopted by a Mrs. Xiao?"

Xiao Yaning asked.

"Mrs. Xiao?"

Ms. Yao thought for a moment, then shook her head,

"I don't remember."

"Her original name was Li Suqin. She…"

Xiao Yaning was there partly to make a donation, and partly to find out about her life before her mother adopted her.

"You're talking about Suqin? Of course, I remember her," Ms. Yao suddenly recalled as she heard the name Li Suqin

"She used to volunteer here every one or two months."

"Do you remember the girl she adopted?"

Xiao Yaning asked eagerly, looking at Ms. Yao.

"How could I forget? That little girl was so pretty. The orphanage was quite lively back then, with many people around, all of whom liked that little girl. Everyone said she'd grow up to be a beauty."

Ms. Yao revealed a nostalgic look as soon as she mentioned the little girl,

"I remember not long after that girl came to the orphanage, Suqin was volunteering like usual. The moment she saw the little girl, she fell in love, and after spending half a day with her, she decided to take her home."

"Oh, why are you asking about this?"

Ms. Yao suddenly became a bit wary, her gaze scrutinizing Xiao Yaning.

"I am that girl."

At that moment, Xiao Yaning's eyes were brimming with tears; she was indeed the child her mother had adopted from this orphanage.

"You are Yaning?"

Ms. Yao's eyes widened, and she stood up abruptly, in shock!

Xiao Yaning nodded:

"Yes, I am Yaning."

Indeed, that was always what her mom called her.

"Is it really you?"

Ms. Yao walked excitedly to Xiao Yaning's side, examining her from head to toe,

"Child, how have you been all these years?"

"Good, quite good,"

Xiao Yaning, too, was as happy as if she had seen her own kin, nodding continuously.

"That's good, Suqin is such a kind-hearted person. I knew she wouldn't mistreat you."

Ms. Yao took her hand and patted it vigorously.

Then, the two women, hand in hand, began to chat about family life.

Su Chen also found it peculiarly simple, wondering how two people who had just met could have so much to talk about.

Do women naturally never run out of topics, whether they are young or old?

After half an hour, the two of them had become much more familiar, as if they had known each other for many years.

"Yaning, is this your husband or boyfriend?"

Teacher Yao looked at Su Chen and asked,

"Good taste, quite a talented look."

"This is my friend."

Xiao Yaning said with a blush on her face.

"Oh, I see, you're still dating, right?"

Teacher Yao revealed a knowing smile,

"But Yaning, you need to hurry up, you're already 25, and I think this young man is very nice."

Su Chen, standing by, nodded in agreement upon hearing this, thinking indeed that the elderly have a keen eye!

Xiao Yaning, hearing this, became even more bashful and deliberately diverted the topic,

"Teacher Yao, why is it just you and a few children in this orphanage?"

"Ah, there used to be seven or eight people, but now they're all gone..."

Teacher Yao sighed deeply.

"Why?"

"Actually, it's no fault of theirs, since they too have families to support. But the money allocated annually by the government is so little that we can't even talk about salaries, let alone problems feeding a few children."

"How much is allocated annually?"

"Twenty thousand."

"What?!"

Xiao Yaning immediately widened her eyes in disbelief.

Twenty thousand? What can such a little amount do in the big city of Jianghai?

No wonder the orphanage is in such disrepair, no wonder there's no one left!

Su Chen was also taken aback by this figure, twenty thousand? What a joke!

There must be some problem here, the government would never allocate so little to an orphanage.

"Ah, if the money is a bit short, it's short, but I can still manage to feed these children."

Teacher Yao gave a helpless smile.

"Teacher Yao, I am mainly here today to make a donation."

Xiao Yaning pulled out a check from her wallet and handed it to Teacher Yao.

"Then on behalf of these children, I thank you."

Teacher Yao initially thought Xiao Yaning would donate a few thousand at most, perhaps twenty thousand, but when she saw the string of zeros, she was suddenly stunned...

"No, Yaning, this is too much, I can't accept it!"

Teacher Yao hurriedly handed the check back to Xiao Yaning, as the amount indeed shocked her, it was fifty million!

"Teacher Yao, you must accept this money, and besides, if it were in respect for you, I definitely wouldn't have given so much, this is all for these poor children."

Xiao Yaning forcefully handed the check back,

"After all, I once lived here myself, and now that I am somewhat capable, consider it my way of giving thanks. If it weren't for the orphanage taking me in, I might not have survived to this day."

"All right, then on behalf of these children, I thank you again."

Teacher Yao suddenly "plumped" down on her knees in front of Xiao Yaning, deciding to accept the check because Xiao Yaning's remark "it's all for these poor children" had moved her.

"Teacher Yao, what are you doing?"

Xiao Yaning quickly helped Teacher Yao up, and Su Chen also came over to help, holding great respect in his heart for such an elderly person.

Sometimes, it isn't your wealth or power that earns others' respect, but a sincere heart that wins genuine regard!

"With this money, I can now properly renovate the orphanage. You don't know, most of the buildings are uninhabitable now."

With the check in hand, Teacher Yao's eyes gleamed with intensity, shaking with excitement as she said,

"And now if there are orphans, I can take them in too. Do you know? In these past years because of financial pressure, I've been afraid to take in any orphans sent here, having to send them to other orphanages because I couldn't afford to keep them!"
