Not only that, but she also called on the old ladies from other families to donate.
Mr. Yuan, Mr. Wang, and the old director didn't mind that Liang Xiulin gave too little money. The orphanage's donations didn't come from just these families. The orphanage also came into the eyes of these big families because of Lin Chu.
Whether it was before Lin Chu met Yan Beicheng or now, the orphanage had always been accepting donations from the public. There were college students, office workers, and retirees. They couldn't spend money like these big families. They all donated according to their financial ability. Some donated a few hundred each time, some donated a few thousand, and some donated clothes, books, and other necessities.
But it was all out of sincerity. They didn't donate for a specific child.
But Liang Xiulin was obviously giving Mo Jinxi special treatment. The old director and the others didn't think it was the money but Liang Xiulin's attitude.
If they really accepted it, what would the other children think?
Moreover, Mo Jinxi didn't need 2,000 yuan at all!
In Liang Xiulin's eyes, how badly did they treat Mo Jinxi?
Liang Xiulin often accompanied Chief Mo in the news and often visited the wives of various countries. In the news, she did all kinds of charity work and visited the local poor children. How could she be so narrow-minded in private?
Liang Xiulin's smile froze. She wasn't happy tonight because of all kinds of things. Things didn't develop as she expected. Mo Jinxi didn't suffer, which made her very happy.
But Mo Jinxi had feelings for the orphanage and didn't even want to go home with her. This made her very unhappy.
Now, even when she gave some money to buy something good for her grandson, he still refused.
"I don't mean anything else. I know the children have never been wronged here. But even so, they can't be like ordinary children who have pocket money to buy snacks for themselves. This money is for extra meals for the children, "Liang Xiulin said with a stiff smile.
The old director didn't care who Liang Xiulin was. Even if Chief Mo was there, he was a high-ranking official. How could he make things difficult for the orphanage and a group of innocent children?
The old director said bluntly, "This is an orphanage, not a nursery. I know you care about Jinxi. When Jinxi goes home with you, you can love him however you want. But here, Jinxi can't be the only one who stands out because there are other children. It's not good for the child to see the gap between us. "
Liang Xiulin's smile froze. She chuckled dryly and said to Ol 'Amos, "I left in a hurry, so I didn't bring much cash. Otherwise, I would have given you more."
What she meant was that the old headmaster was unwilling to accept it because he disliked her for giving too little money.
This time, Ol 'Amos' face turned cold.
In any case, he was a reputable person. How could he act so lowly!
Lin Chu didn't know if it was a good thing for Mo Jinxi to go back with them.
Seeing that both Chief Mo and Mo Jingsheng were steady people, there was no problem with them being role models for children. However, the two of them were usually busy with work, and the one Mo Jinxi spent the most time with was definitely Liang Xiulin. But with Liang Xiulin's behavior tonight, would she really lead Mo Jinxi astray?
Ol 'Amos pursed his lips and stopped talking. He was completely indifferent.
The corners of Liang Xiulin's mouth turned up coldly. She sneered inwardly and lowered her head to shove the money into Mo Jinxi's hand. "Jinxi, take this. It's your pocket money. Buy whatever you like."
Mo Jinxi's wrist was held by Liang Xiulin, but he clenched his fist and tried to avoid it. He shook his head and said, "I don't want it."
"What's wrong?" Liang Xiulin thought that Mo Jinxi was just shy. Moreover, Ol 'Amos' refusal made Mo Jinxi feel embarrassed to take it. "Don't worry. When you come back, Grandma will give you more pocket money. You're the grandson of the Mo family, so you have to get used to this. Besides, we have this condition. Why should we mistreat ourselves? "
Although Liang Xiulin didn't look at Ol 'Amos, it was obvious that she was talking to him.
Ol 'Amos' face was cold and he didn't reply. He thought to himself that Madam Mo was far worse than the Yan family.
From Old Madam Yan to Yu Zi, they were all very easy to get along with. No one was as petty as Liang Xiulin.
Mo Jinxi shook his head. "I still can't take it."
"Why?" Liang Xiulin's eyes widened. She felt that Mo Jinxi had been influenced by Ol 'Amos.
Mo Jinxi tried to free himself from her grip. "Grandma, can you let go of me first?"
Liang Xiulin exhaled through her nose and let go of his hand.
Mo Jinxi quickly put his hand back, as if he was afraid that Liang Xiulin would grab him again.
Liang Xiulin looked at Mo Jinxi's actions. She thought to herself that this child had been in the orphanage for too long and had become a little petty.
Two thousand dollars was nothing, yet he didn't dare to take it.
Mo Jinxi put his hands behind his back and said, "It's too much for pocket money. I can't take it. If I take it, the things I buy will definitely be given to my siblings. But it's not a good role model for them. They will think that I'm different from them. They will … will … "
Mo Jinxi couldn't say it out loud, but he knew that it wasn't right. He just felt uncomfortable.
If they were all children in the orphanage and one of them suddenly gave them a lot of money to buy things, he wouldn't feel good either.
"You're different from them —" Liang Xiulin said. How could the grandson of the Mo Family be compared to the children in the orphanage?
But before she could finish, she was interrupted by Chief Mo, "Enough!"
Liang Xiulin paused and looked up at Chief Mo. Chief Mo said with a sullen face, "Jinxi is right not to take it. I've always been like this when educating children. Even if the family has money, it's earned through hard work. No matter how much it is, it's all blood and sweat. It's not good for a young child to squander it. Jinxi is right. He's no different from the other children. Just because he's a member of the Mo Family, he can't look down on others. He buys things lavishly and gives them to others, yet he still thinks he's great and complacent. What's the difference between him and a playboy? "
Mo Jinxi nodded. He knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"Besides, I really don't lack anything here. Chuchu, the Yan Family's uncles, aunties, and Grandma Yan will bring a lot of toys and books. Chuchu will bring us out to eat delicious food from time to time. Usually, the old director will come up with new ways to cook for us every day. We have all the things we need to go to school if other children have them. Even if we need to spend money on extracurricular activities, the old director still wants us to participate. We're no different from other children. Grandma, the old director, the teachers, and Chuchu are really good to me. "
He was afraid that Liang Xiulin wouldn't believe him, so he spoke very seriously, even a little anxiously.
Even though he was young, Mo Jinxi could tell that Liang Xiulin's attitude wasn't right.
Liang Xiulin pursed her lips slightly and said, "I understand."
She took the money back, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"It's too late, let's go," Chief Mo reminded.
Only then did Liang Xiulin reluctantly follow Chief Mo out. However, Mo Jingcheng stood still and said, "You guys go first, I'll have a few more words with Bei Cheng. It's cold outside, you guys wait in the car first."
Mo Jingcheng gave the car keys to Chief Mo.
Chief Mo looked at him, nodded, and walked out with Liang Xiulin.
Liang Xiulin originally frowned when she saw that Mo Jingcheng wanted to stay, but when she heard that he wanted to talk to Yan Beicheng, she relaxed and walked out.
Mo Jingcheng then said to the old director, "I'm sorry, my mother isn't a bad person, but she has one problem. She easily looks down on people, thinks badly of them, and is somewhat biased towards family status. But in reality, she doesn't have any bad intentions. Please don't take what she said to heart. I interacted with Jin Xi yesterday, he's a very good child, very polite, and more cultured than many of the children I've seen. You taught him very well. Even if he didn't go missing and grew up in our family, I can't guarantee that he would be better than he is now. "
Mo Jingcheng said it sincerely, not to coax the old director. So the old director also let go of the unhappiness in her heart.
She was dissatisfied with Liang Xiulin's words and actions, but she wouldn't implicate Chief Mo and Mo Jingcheng.
However, since Mo Jingcheng could say that about his mother, although the old director agreed in her heart, it wasn't good to say the same. She could only say, "Jin Xi is a good child, obedient and sensible. Since he was young, he didn't make people worry. It's just that he's too sensible that it makes people's hearts ache for him. We're also happy for him that he can find his family. "
Liang Xiulin and Chief Mo left the orphanage's gate and sat in the car to wait. Today, Mo Jingcheng drove them over and didn't bring the family's chauffeur.
The two of them sat in the back seat of the car. Liang Xiulin took out her phone and opened WeChat a few times. After she finished reading the content of her WeChat moments, she closed it and made a "tsk" sound.
Chief Mo was also holding his phone, but she didn't know what he was looking at. He only saw the bright screen and didn't seem to have any intention of responding to Liang Xiulin.
Liang Xiulin waited for a while. Seeing that Chief Mo still didn't look at her, she poked Chief Mo's arm. "Why didn't you let me bring Jin Xi back directly? It wasn't easy for us to find a grandson. How can an orphanage snatch a child from us? If they don't want the child to reunite with our family, why are they obstructing us? I don't know how they usually teach Jin Xi to have such shallow foresight. "
Liang Xiulin curled her lips. "But that's true, what foresight can an orphanage have? Isn't it because they have shallow foresight? Usually, they just give some small favors to keep the child's heart tightly. It's just that Jin Xi is young, inexperienced, and immature. "
Chief Mo was a little impatient. He glanced at her through his glasses and pursed his lips impatiently. He didn't say anything and continued to look at his phone.
However, Liang Xiulin saw that Chief Mo was looking at her. She thought that Chief Mo had heard what she said and gave her a reaction, so she spoke even more vigorously. "That Old Dean is just taking advantage of his seniority. He was so rude just now. I said that I wanted to bring Jin Xi back, but she just wanted to stop me. To put it nicely, she wanted to ask for Jin Xi's opinion. But what does a child know? Isn't it all up to the adults? Although we are Jin Xi's family, he's not familiar with us, so it's natural for him to be nervous. Now that he's closer to the people in the orphanage, she obviously doesn't want Jin Xi to come back with us. That's why she deliberately asked that to let Jin Xi know what she meant and directly reject us. How can she be like that? How can she stop our family from reuniting! She clearly knows that we've been looking for Jin Xi for so many years and finally found him, but instead of helping by the side and letting the child get familiar with us earlier, she actually doesn't let us bring the child away.
