Mo Jinxi moved his lips and said, "Grandma, you don't allow me to visit the orphanage. Every day after school, there's a driver to pick me up. On the weekends, you guys are watching over me. I can't go to the orphanage even if I wanted to. I wanted to take a look during my lunch break. But I don't know the way from school to the orphanage, so I went to Yanhui. I wanted Chu Chu to take me to the orphanage. "
Liang Xiulin was furious when she heard this. She couldn't help but want to scold Mo Jinxi.
The homeroom teacher saw that it was a family matter, so she quickly said, "It's good that Jinxi is back. There's still half a class left. I'm afraid Jinxi won't be able to catch up. Why don't you guys talk first? I'll go and prepare for the next class. "
"Okay." Liang Xiulin didn't want outsiders to hear about family matters, so she immediately agreed.
The homeroom teacher said to Mo Jinxi, "Come to my office during the break. We'll talk about your leaving the school without permission."
Mo Jinxi agreed and the homeroom teacher left.
Liang Xiulin then said to Mo Jinxi, "Jinxi, didn't I say it before? Don't mention the orphanage anymore. You have nothing to do with the orphanage now. "
Mo Jinxi opened his mouth and looked at Liang Xiulin anxiously.
"Mrs. Mo," Lin Chu called.
Liang Xiulin looked over. She was unhappy to hear her interruption.
Lin Chu didn't care and said, "I have no right to interfere with your family matters. I just hope you can listen to Jinxi's thoughts. Although he's young, he's not a child who doesn't know anything. He has his own thoughts and opinions. He's not naive and willful. Please don't think that he's immature and has no judgment just because he's young. He's reasonable in many things and his judgment isn't bad. "
Lin Chu looked down at Mo Jinxi and patted him on the shoulder. "Talk to Grandma if you have something to say. Don't learn the bad habit of running away from home. We'll go first."
Mo Jinxi nodded and watched Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng get into the car.
Through the car window, Lin Chu saw Liang Xiulin and Mo Jinxi, one big and one small, staring at each other. No one spoke. He didn't know if Liang Xiulin would listen to Mo Jinxi patiently.
At night, Lin Chu received a call from Mo Jinxi. Mo Jinxi was very happy on the phone. "Chu Chu, Grandma listened to me seriously. She said she'll consider it carefully."
"That's good." Lin Chu said with a smile, but he didn't think Liang Xiulin would agree so easily, so he didn't say much to Mo Jinxi.
The next day was Saturday. Lin Chu hadn't been to the orphanage for a while, so she asked Yan Beicheng to accompany her to the orphanage and tell the old dean about Mo Jinxi's situation.
When she arrived at the orphanage, Stone and Tiantian were doing their homework in the room. Knowing that she was coming, they came out to wait. After greeting Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng, he went back.
"It's almost the final exam. They're all studying now." The tea table was already filled with fruits that had been prepared beforehand. "How's Jin Xi recently? Was he going to take the exam soon? Jixia School's curriculum is different from ordinary schools. I don't know if the exam time is also different. "
"The exam time is the same. It's according to the unified rules of the city's primary school exams and holidays," Lin Chu said. "Jin Xi's progress is keeping up, and his results are very good. Because the curriculum is different from the original school, he was a little uncomfortable when he first went there. But Jin Xi is working very hard. "
"Yeah, no one needs to worry about that child no matter where he goes," the old dean said with a smile. Her eyes were full of longing for Mo Jinxi.
"Jin Xi said he misses you guys very much. Don't worry about him. As long as it's possible, he will come back," Lin Chu said. She didn't know what to say. She couldn't say that Liang Xiulin didn't allow Mo Jinxi to come back. She could only let the old dean know that Mo Jinxi hadn't forgotten about this place.
"I know. He's the child I've watched grow up. I know him." The old dean smiled. He wasn't sad, just a little disappointed. "From the moment he left, I knew that Madam Mo didn't want him to come back. The Mo family and the orphanage are people from two different worlds. It's not wrong for Madam Mo to be wary of others. Previously, when Jin Xi called me, I could hear Madam Mo calling him. I knew that Madam Mo didn't want him to contact us. I'm fine. If there's a chance, you can also tell Jin Xi not to think too much. I know him. Tell him to study hard and focus on his own matters. There will be many opportunities to see him in the future. "
Lin Chu nodded. At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Teacher Wang went out to open the door. Lin Chu turned his head to look out the window. He could see the path from the door to the orphanage.
In the end, he saw Liang Xiulin behind Teacher Wang. Mo Jinxi wasn't beside her.
Lin Chu was surprised. He couldn't figure out why Liang Xiulin was here. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yan Beicheng.
Yan Beicheng frowned and said, "If her purpose this time isn't good, I'll go talk to Mo Jingsheng. At home, Mo Jingsheng can speak. "
Lin Chu nodded. He heard Yan Beicheng say to the old dean, "If Madam Mo comes and says something unpleasant, don't take it to heart. Her words don't count for the Mo family. Chief Mo and Mo Jingsheng's words count. So no matter what she says, it's not the Mo family's intention. If it is, she won't come by herself. "
"Don't worry." The old dean saw that both of them were thinking for him. "If she comes, no matter if it's good news or bad news, it's definitely related to Jinxi. As long as Jinxi is well, I don't care. "
At this moment, Teacher Wang came in with Liang Xiulin. They didn't continue talking.
Liang Xiulin was wearing a long fur coat. Inside, she wore a long cloak. She wore leather gloves and held a handbag in her hand. She was dressed so exquisitely that she looked a little overbearing. It was different from when she came to the orphanage to pick up Mo Jinxi.
Seeing her dress, Lin Chu knew that Liang Xiulin probably didn't bring good news today.
The old dean was an elder. He was much older than Liang Xiulin. He still sat on the sofa without moving. Yan Beicheng and Lin Chu stood up and politely greeted Liang Xiulin.
Liang Xiulin took off her fur coat and casually placed it on the sofa. Then, she sat down.
Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng simply sat next to the old dean.
But when Liang Xiulin opened her mouth, Lin Chu wondered if she had guessed wrong.
Liang Xiulin didn't look down on them like she did before. She just pursed her lips and said, "I'm here this time because of Jinxi."
The old dean nodded. "I guessed it."
"In the past, I really didn't like Jinxi coming here because he doesn't belong here. The path he will take in the future will be different from ordinary people, and even more different from the children here. He and the children here are from two different worlds. In the future, their paths will be different, their experiences will be different, and their temperaments will also be different. He has a deep affection for this place and for the children here. He talks about the old dean and his siblings all the time. No matter what delicious food he eats, he says that he will bring it to the orphanage for his siblings to try. "
The old dean smiled happily. "That child, Jinxi's heart will never change no matter where he goes."
"Indeed." Liang Xiulin was happy to hear Jinxi being praised. She couldn't help but smile. "I'm actually very grateful to the orphanage for taking care of him. In the few months that he's been living at home, I realized that this child has never been mistreated. Perhaps he can't be compared to families like ours, but he's no different from ordinary families. He's well-educated and he doesn't have any inferiority complex. This means that his living environment has been very good since he was young. Not only did you pay attention to his studies, but you also didn't neglect his character. You made him a likable child now, and he didn't have a bad temperament. It's all thanks to you that he's able to wait until we find him in good health. "
The old dean didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. He didn't expect Liang Xiulin to say something like that. She had never said something like that before.
"It does sound a little unreasonable for me not to let Jinxi come, but I have my concerns. Children are innocent, but they will definitely change when they grow up. Their relationship with Jinxi will deteriorate. You don't have to tell me if, because I know it's very normal. Wasn't that the case with Zhu Hexuan? "Liang Xiulin sneered." Don't be surprised, I know Zhu Hexuan. She's known Jinxi since she was young. Even though he's doing well, even though he keeps telling us that he's living a good life in the orphanage and that you're treating him well, I'm still worried. My son got someone to investigate Jinxi's past life in the orphanage. Zhu Hexuan was just a side effect. I think Zhu Hexuan was innocent when she was young, but she's more scheming now that she's grown up. Life isn't easy, and there are many things that you care about unknowingly. People will always change because of life, because of the environment, because of the society. I don't want Jinxi to be hurt in the future. The more he values his siblings now, the more disappointed he'll be in the future, and the more hurt he'll be. I think you know that Jinxi is a very affectionate child. "
"Madam Liang, why don't you just say what you want to say?" The old director slowly stopped smiling and sighed. "I'm old, and I don't like to use my brain. I can't keep up with your twists and turns. Why don't you just say it to me directly? It'll save both of us some effort."
Liang Xiulin pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I'll say it directly. Don't blame me for being rude. I'm doing this for Jinxi's sake. I won't stop Jinxi from meeting you. You've raised him, and this is also a favor to our family. But only you can meet him. As for those children, you can't. So if you want to meet Jinxi, you can. I'll send a driver to pick you up to meet Jinxi. Or when the children are not around, Jinxi can come over. "
"Does Jinxi know about your decision?" the old director asked.
Liang Xiulin paused, and uneasiness flashed across her eyes. She then pouted impatiently and said, "He's just a child. How would he know so much? Doesn't he still need to rely on the elders to check on him?"
