The President is Being Shameless Again

As the orphanage did not count as personal property, there will be no compensation for demolition either.

“Wait.” Supervisor Yang suddenly felt hope arise in her. “Isn’t Lin Chu dating some capable man now? Why not tell Lin Chu about this and see what her boyfriend can do for us?”

The old principal opened her mouth before closing it again. It was obvious she was troubled and could not make a decision immediately.

Lin Chu must feel tremendous pressure dating Yan Beicheng. When they were celebrating Yan Ningbai’s birthday the last time, she could tell not everyone accepted Lin Chu.

Yan Beicheng’s mother and younger sister did not accept her, and there was that Lu woman who had her greedy eyes cast on Yan Beicheng.

Although Yan Beicheng’s mother did not attend the party, it was obvious from Yan Zhiqing’s words that Yan Beicheng’s mother did not like Lin Chu and even wanted to break them apart.

Thus, the old principal did not want to pressure Lin Chu even more and cause her more trouble. It would make it seem like the orphanage would be extra baggage on top of her dating Yan Beicheng.

Although Yan Beicheng has never had any opinion about this, what if he did? What if, by extension, the Yan family did not like it either?

However, she could not let the children suffer just because of something like this either. The old principal was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

At this moment, the doorbell rang once more. The old principal looked through the windows in the living room to check on the gate out in the yard, only to see three women standing there. The old principal’s eyesight was not as sharp as it used to be, so she could only faintly tell that the middle one was slightly older than the rest.

The old principal was just about to stand up to answer the door when Teacher Yuan appeared to stop her. “It’s okay, I’ll get it.”

She was in the kitchen just now and she had heard everything Supervisor Yang had said. In all honesty, she was worried about her own future as well. She originally thought that this would be a stable job, and despite the lower than usual pay, it was a comfortable job that was not tiring in the slightest.

Everyone was happier together, and their bonds were stronger than anything else.

At the same time, her heart hurt for the children as well. This was practically the same as kicking them out of their home and shipping them away to strangers.

They were all orphans with no family, so despite looking lively and cheerful, there were also times of vulnerability since none of them had a real home. Now, they suddenly could no longer stay in the place they grew up in and had no choice but to move away to a foreign place where they knew no one, far away from the life they once knew and the people that accompanied them.

Teacher Yuan could see just how lost and bewildered the children would be. She could see Tian Tian crying out of fear, could see Shi Tou and Mo Jinxi desperately holding back their tears as they comforted Tian Tian with their watery eyes and their runny noses.

She could no longer continue picturing it or she just might cry. She did not know how to face the children later on.

Once Mo Jinxi and Shi Tou returned from school, she did not know how to break this news to them.

With the children’s faces in her mind, her heart felt heavy. When she arrived at the entrance to the orphanage, she could see the three women that stood outside through the iron fence. The middle one was slightly older than the other two.

She shared similar features with another woman so she guessed they might be mother and daughter.

The oldest of the three had maintained herself quite well, looking nothing like someone that had such a grown-up daughter.

From the way they were dressed, it was obvious they were from a rich household. The younger woman, who shared similar features with the older woman, had an arrogant look as she constantly scanned the orphanage with a proud gaze, as if the orphanage was a slum.

She looked as if she felt everything was dirty and there was no place for her to stand or lay her gaze upon, as if her being here was an embarrassment.

Teacher Yuan’s mood plummeted upon noticing the woman’s attitude. She originally had a polite but enthusiastic smile on her face, but it was all but gone now; she did not even want to invite them in.
