Chapter 874 - 874 Going Through the Rules
Lele looked terrified. He was still young and didn’t know much, but he knew that sometimes the orphanage would visit them and choose the children they wanted to adopt. There was indeed a set of procedures. They couldn’t just take them away. He didn’t dare to expect to be adopted by the pretty sister and become a part of the pretty sister’s family. He just wanted to leave the orphanage. Could he not do it?
Lele’s little face was pale. She bit her lip hard, and her face was full of fear. When Shen Sisi saw this, the smile on her face widened. Since he dared to offend her, she would let the little brat see how powerful she was.
“You are a staff member of Angel Orphanage.” Shen Sisi smiled and pushed the middle-aged woman beside her, urging her softly, “Come over and tell your sister. Lele is a human, after all. How can she be taken away just like that?”
“That is indeed the case…” The middle-aged woman was scared to death. She had been kicked by Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing a few times, and her chest was still hurting. She was a little out of breath. She was afraid of pain, but she was more fearful of the young master’s methods. She knew that Shen Sisi was someone the young master had instructed her to take good care of. Even if she was scared to death, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up. Fortunately, there was a set of procedures for adopting orphans. She did not lie and said dryly, “If Mrs. Ji wants to adopt Lele, please follow the formal procedures and fill in the adoption application form. You can only take Lele away after completing the review and all the procedures.”
After a pause, the middle-aged woman’s gaze fell on Lele with a hint of mockery.”If Mrs. Ji doesn’t want to undergo the adoption procedures, Lele must return to Angel Orphanage. He can’t leave with you.” She believed that Shen Hanxing would not continue to take Lele away. Shen Hanxing was still young. It was not that she could not have children. Why would she adopt a child? Ji Corporation was a big business. Did they have to adopt a child for no reason to divide the assets? Therefore, Lele would return to the orphanage in the end. She would educate him properly when he returned and let him know who to protect.
The middle-aged woman was also embarrassed after being beaten. At this moment, she was resentful and looked at Lele with vicious eyes.
“Sister…” The middle-aged woman’s gaze made Lele tremble in fear. He grabbed Shen Hanxing’s clothes and muttered softly. Tears welled in his eyes, but he was sensible enough not to ask for help. He knew that he could not make things difficult for his beautiful sister. At this time, he should take the initiative to stand up and choose to return to Angel Orphanage so that he would not embarrass his beautiful sister. However, his face turned pale when he thought of the middle-aged woman’s methods and the secret of the orphanage that he had accidentally seen. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. In the end, he could only look down dejectedly with some self-loathing. He was a bad child. He was not obedient at all. He knew he would cause trouble for his beautiful sister, but he was still greedy and did not want to leave. He hoped that his beautiful sister would protect him. He was so troublesome and insensible. His sister would find him annoying and regret taking the initiative to help him.
Sensing Lele’s uneasiness, Shen Hanxing held his hand and rubbed his head comfortingly. She said softly, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.” After saying that, she didn’t look at Lele’s reaction. Instead, she glanced at the middle-aged woman and said casually, “What if I have to take Lele away?”
The matter of adoption was very complicated. Shen Hanxing was not kind-hearted enough to adopt any poor child she saw. Even if she wanted to adopt, she would not make a rash decision under such circumstances.
