Mo Jinxi couldn't help thinking about it. He felt that Liang Xiulin's excuse of not bringing him to the orphanage was just an excuse. Mo Jinxi tried a few more times, and it turned out to be true.
Mo Jinxi was a little annoyed. He didn't understand why Grandma would stop him from going to the orphanage. It wasn't like he was going back to the orphanage. It was like visiting a relative's house. Even if he couldn't go there every week, he could go back when he was free. What was wrong with that?
The old principal had been taking care of him as if he was her own grandson. The other children in the orphanage were not as lucky as them. They were the only ones who had met such a good person.
He had always believed that the old principal would live on. He knew that the old principal was very old, but he still hoped that she could live long enough to see him grow up, work, and earn money. Then he would take care of the old principal and be filial to her so that she wouldn't have to worry anymore.
At a young age, Mo Jinxi already knew the saying, "You want to raise a child, but your parents aren't there for you." He had read many books in his spare time. When he came across this saying and understood its meaning, he kept it in mind.
He didn't want the old principal to be gone when he had the ability to be filial to her.
Although he was in the Mo family now and would be filial to his grandparents, he wouldn't forget the old principal. He wanted to visit the old principal from time to time.
He knew that the old principal didn't want anything from them. She only wanted them to live a good life. As long as they were happy in front of her, that was the happiest thing for her.
He didn't want the old principal to think that he had forgotten about the orphanage because he came back to a rich family. He wasn't an ingrate.
Hence, Mo Jinxi once again asked Liang Xiulin seriously to go back to the orphanage.
Liang Xiulin was getting impatient after so many times, so she told him the truth.
"Grandma won't let me see them. Old Dean will think that I've forgotten about them. He'll think that I don't recognize Old Dean and my siblings anymore because I have Grandpa and Grandma. Old Dean will be sad." Mo Jinxi sobbed. He lowered his head and kept wiping his tears with his arm.
"I don't want the old principal to misunderstand me. I'm not an ingrate who forgets about my family. I still want to be filial to the old principal. Sob, sob, sob. Grandma … won't take me. No one can take me there. I missed Old Dean, Teacher Yuan and Teacher Wang, Stone and Tiantian. I've been home for so long, and I haven't seen them. They must be very sad and miss me very much. So … so I came to find you. " Mo Jinxi's shoulders twitched. "I don't know the way to the orphanage, and I don't know the name of your company, but I remember this place. The chauffeur … the chauffeur knows it too, so I came here. I … I just miss Ol 'President, I just want to go back and take a look, boohoo … "
Lin Chu looked at Mo Jinxi, who was trembling from crying, and sighed. There was no way to say who was right and who was wrong in this matter.
Both sides were at fault, but they also had their own reasons.
Lin Chu ruffled Mo Jinxi's hair and held his hand. "Alright, stop crying. Come and sit down."
Lin Chu pulled Mo Jinxi back to the sofa. Mo Jinxi's feet couldn't touch the ground and were suspended in the air. As his body trembled, his feet also swayed.
Lin Chu took the tissue box and placed it on Mo Jinxi's lap. Then, he took out a tissue to wipe his tears.
But because of what Lin Chu said just now, Mo Jinxi felt aggrieved, and he couldn't hold back his tears. He cried even harder and couldn't stop.
Lin Chu saw that this wasn't a good thing, so he took a tissue and helped Mo Jinxi wipe his tears. "Jinxi, you can cry if you want, but after you're done, listen to me, okay?"
Mo Jinxi nodded and hiccupped, sobbing.
Lin Chu didn't beg him anymore and let him vent his aggrieved feelings first. When he saw the McDonald's on the table, he asked Yan Beicheng, "Have you eaten?"
Yan Beicheng nodded and explained, "I came back from eating with Zuo Qiu and saw him waiting in the lobby. He came over and said he was looking for me, but the receptionist saw that he was a kid and didn't dare let him barge in. But his Jixia Academy uniform was quite useful. The receptionist saw that he wasn't from an ordinary family and was afraid that something might happen to him, so she asked her colleague to accompany him on the sofa in the lobby. He rushed over and didn't eat. When I asked him what he wanted to eat, he said he wanted to eat McDonald's. "
Mo Jinxi's sobbing also became softer. McDonald's was because he liked it. He didn't have many opportunities to eat it in the orphanage, so he would eat it occasionally. After returning to the Mo family, he didn't even eat it occasionally because Liang Xiulin said that it wasn't nutritious and that it would be unhealthy and make him fat.
She even showed him a report about a foreign reporter who did an experiment and ate McDonald's for a month. In the end, he went from a handsome young man to a fat man. He couldn't even recognize his original appearance.
So when Yan Beicheng asked him what he wanted to eat, he didn't hesitate to say that he wanted to eat McDonald's for a long time.
"Have you eaten too?" Yan Beicheng asked. Looking at the time, he should have eaten.
Lin Chu nodded. "With Zheng Yuntong."
Mo Jinxi saw that the two of them were chatting, so he sniffled and said guiltily, "Chuchu, I'll cry."
Lin Chu lowered his head and saw that he wasn't crying anymore. Then, he said, "Let's eat first."
He had only eaten less than half a hamburger. No matter what he wanted to say, he had to wait until the child was full.
After crying, Mo Jinxi didn't have much of an appetite. But he was hungry, so he quickly ate the hamburger. Yan Beicheng ordered a children's meal for him. Other than a hamburger, there was also a small bag of fries and a cup of coke.
There weren't many fries, so he ate it quickly. He put the coke at the side and drank a few mouthfuls.
Mo Jinxi felt a little regretful. It wasn't easy for him to eat McDonald's and he had to finish it in one go. Lin Chu was waiting at the side, which made him feel a lot of pressure. He didn't even have the mood to taste it. Until now, he still hadn't realized what he had just eaten.
Seeing that he was done eating and holding a cup of coke, Lin Chu said, "Drink it. Listen to me while you drink."
Mo Jinxi nodded obediently. He took a small sip and smacked his lips.
He liked the taste of coke too. It was also Liang Xiulin who didn't allow him to drink it.
"Jinxi, I know that you miss the orphanage and Old Principal. I know that you're filial. You're not the kind of person who would forget others when you go home," Lin Chu said slowly. "Old Principal also knows that. She has seen you since you were young. How could Old Principal not know what kind of person you are? So don't worry that Old Principal will think that you've forgotten her. If you don't go back, Old Principal knows that it's not that you don't want to go back, but that you can't. Old Principal won't blame you, she will never blame you. She knows that you're a good child and has always wanted to be filial to her. On the day your grandmother took you away, Old Principal told me about it. She knows that your grandmother probably doesn't want you to have anything to do with the orphanage anymore. But she knows that you miss the orphanage and won't forget them. Also, as long as you live well in the Mo family, everything else doesn't matter. She's afraid that you'll quarrel with your family because of this, understand? "
Mo Jinxi was stunned. He almost couldn't hold the coke.
Lin Chu touched the back of his head. "Moreover, you called Old Principal. Is she unhappy again?"
Mo Jinxi shook his head. "I just wanted to see Old Principal, not call her."
"Old Principal knows," Lin Chu said. "Just like how I'm pregnant now, I can't go to the orphanage often. Old Principal also knows that. She knows our difficulties and always thinks for us first. You have Old Principal and your siblings in your heart. Whether you see them or not, it's enough that you don't forget them. "
"Really? But I'm afraid that Old Principal will miss me too, "Mo Jinxi said dejectedly.
"Every time I go to the orphanage, I'll talk to Old Principal about you. Old Principal knows about your life and studies. She also knows that you did well in the last monthly test, "Lin Chu said.
Because of Lin Chu's words, Mo Jinxi felt a lot more relaxed. He even breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now that we're done talking about this matter, let's put it aside for now. Let's talk about how you sneaked out of school without saying goodbye," Lin Chu suddenly said seriously. Her gentle tone and expression were gone.
Mo Jinxi became nervous again. His little body was stiff, and he lowered his head, looking like he was admitting his mistake.
"I can't say whether what your grandmother said was right or wrong," Lin Chu said. She had no right to tell Mo Jinxi whether his grandmother did something wrong or right.
Liang Xiulin was Mo Jinxi's elder. No matter what, she shouldn't be telling him what to do.
Moreover, Liang Xiulin's words couldn't simply be judged as right or wrong. Perhaps it wasn't appropriate to not allow Mo Jinxi to visit the orphanage, but her judgment of the children in the orphanage couldn't be said to be right or wrong.
No one knew if the children's temperament would change when they grew up, what their future path would be like, and whether their friendship with Mo Jinxi would still be pure, without any mixed feelings or benefits.
Liang Xiulin's worries weren't unreasonable. In different worlds, receiving different education would indeed gradually drift apart.
One grew up in the circle of the rich and never lacked anything. He could get whatever he wanted effortlessly. When he grew up, he worked and talked about the problems at the leadership level. The other grew up in a frugal life. He had to count how many yuan he spent when he ate a few skewers on the roadside. When he grew up, he worked and worried about how to complete the tasks assigned by the leaders. How much could people from two different worlds have in common?
Lin Chu watched the children grow up in the orphanage. She was close to them and understood them. Naturally, their feelings were different. She also believed in the children's temperament under the guidance of Old Principal. After all, Zhu Hexuan was one in a million.
