BXBX NOVEL Chapter 109 - Chapter 109: Why Are You Here?
The boy should be one of the older ones and had been holding it in. At Xing Shu’s question, he could not hold it in anymore.
Xing Shu hurriedly went in and saw the 70-year-old director Feng Daxiang sitting on a chair in the hall. His arm was bandaged and he was comforting a few frightened girls.
“Director,” Xing Shu called out.
Feng Daxiang’s eyes lit up when he saw Xing Shu. “Xing Shu, why are you here?”
Xing Shu choked. There was a bouquet of roses on the windowsill of the welfare home’s main hall. This was the director’s habit. The empty space behind the welfare home was filled with roses and there were fish feeds in the pond. This paradise was the purest utopia in Xing Shu’s heart. Therefore, Xing Shu was willing to sign the agreement with Chen Ru and donate most of her salary, for the sake of the welfare home. She would leave only just enough for her living expenses for herself.
“I saw the news and was worried, so I came over to take a look.” Feng Daxiang smiled and pointed at the chair in front of him, gesturing for Xing Shu to sit down. “It’s nothing serious. It’s just a few drunk men causing trouble. They’ve already been taken into custody. Xing Shu, you’re grown prettier than before. Xing Linlin also came not long ago. Seriously, why didn’t you call me before coming?”
When Xing Shu heard Xing Linlin’s name, her stomach began to churn again. Feng Daxiang thought that Xing Shu and Xing Linlin were still on good terms, so he said in an extremely familiar tone, “Xing Linlin is really considerate. She came with her boyfriend.”
Xing Shu glanced at the things piled high on the table—they should be from Xing Linlin. She had always been good at window dressing. Compared to Xing Shu—who came empty-handed—Xing Linlin was indeed more popular. However, Xing Shu did not care about this and did not want to tell Feng Daxiang about the ugly falling out between her and Xing Linlin.
Xing Shu said, “Director, it won’t do that you’re the only one taking care of the welfare home. Why don’t I hire a few bodyguards?” Just then, she heard the excited voices of the children at the door. “Sister Linlin, you’re back again! Sister, Sister… Are the people behind you bodyguards?” The children’s voices were tender and cute, with a natural intimacy. Xing Linlin replied in a soothing voice. “Yes. After what happened tonight, I was a little worried about your safety. So, I hired two bodyguards. If anyone still comes to cause trouble in the future, they’ll protect you.” As for the bodyguards—of course, she asked Cheng Xingyang for help.
“Sister Linlin, you’re so kind. You bought us things and even hired bodyguards to protect us. You are our favorite person.” Children are very direct and forthright if you treat them well, they will reciprocate in turn.
Xing Linlin stepped through the door, followed by Cheng Xingyang. When Cheng Xingyang heard that Xing Linlin was coming to Radiant Welfare Home to take a look, his heart melted. His Linlin was always so kind and innocent. Even ifshe’s doing well in life now, she did not forget the welfare home that had raised her.
As soon as Xing Linlin entered, she immediately saw Xing Shu sitting opposite Feng Daxiang. “Xing Shu?” She was stunned and slowly walked closer. “You’re here too?”
Xing Shu looked at the familiar expression on Xing Linlin’s face with mirth.
Xing Linlin was the mastermind behind the incidents with Feng Jian and Liu Chun. In the end, she got clean away and could even still pretend to be close to her. However, owing to the fact that Feng Daxiang was around, Xing Shu did not want to fall out with her in front of him.
Feng Daxiang looked at Xing Shu and Xing Linlin with a gratified expression. “In the blink of an eye, you’ve all grown up. Especially Linlin you even brought your boyfriend. Xing Shu, you have to buck up too. Don’t always bury yourself in work. It’s time for you to spare some thought for your marriage.”
Cheng Xingyang did not expect to meet Xing Shu here. After a brief period of discomfort, he became self-righteous—he was not the one who betrayed her first. Moreover, he had to let Xing Shu know what it was like for a woman to be doted on by a man. For instance, he accompanied Xing Linlin to the welfare home late at night and even used his connections to hire bodyguards; while Xing Shu could only rush over alone. So what ifXing Shu found other men? Even ifshe slept with them, she was just a fling to them. When they tire of screwing her, they would toss her aside, like trash.
The more Cheng Xingyang thought about it, the happier he felt. He reached out and pulled Xing Linlin into his arms. “Director Feng, don’t worry. Linlin is so kind. I’ll definitely treat her well.”
Feng Daxiang did not notice that something was amiss with the three of them. He was very relieved to hear Cheng Xingyang’s words..
