The President is Being Shameless Again

Just then, a traffic police on a motorcycle stopped by the roadside. He held a pen and started to issue traffic tickets to the cars along the road.

Lin Chu urged, “Let’s leave quickly.”

Yan Beicheng nodded. He did not want to create trouble, seeing that Lin Chu was all right he started to drive and leave.

…

The car stopped in front of the orphanage. Yan Beicheng was about to get out of the car when Lin Chu switched on the light in the car.

“What’s the matter?” Yan Beicheng turned to look at her.

Lin Chu replied in embarrassment, “I cried just now, so I wanted to see how I look otherwise people might misunderstand.”

She opened the visor mirror and went near it to look at her eyes.

It was not obvious as she did not cry too hard just now.

Seeing how she looked at herself in the mirror, Yan Beicheng assured, “All of their attention is on Mo Jinxi now, and they might not look at you in detail. Even if they do notice and ask you, just say that you were happy for Mo Jinxi and cried.”

Lin Chu thought that it made sense, but she felt something was not quite right with Yan Beicheng’s reasoning and glared at him.

Yan Beicheng released her seatbelt and laughed saying, “It’s all my fault, I made you cried. If they do ask just say that I bullied you.”

Lin Chu could not bring herself to say that, as she was the one who did wrong in the first place.

Since Yan Beicheng said so, Lin Chu stopped glaring at him and said to him with a red face, “I don’t think they will notice it.”

The Principal was old with dim eyesight, Teacher Wang and Teacher Yuan were not as close as she was to the Principal and would be shy to ask. The Mo Family would not ask too.

They got out of the car and saw Teacher Yuan waiting for them in the courtyard looking through the metal fence.

She saw their car stopped but was finding it odd that nobody alighted from the car.

She finally saw them getting out of the car and coming over, and quickly opened the gate and said, “It happened so suddenly so we quickly called you to come over. We are all waiting for you both.”

“How is Jinxi?” Lin Chu asked.

“He’s shocked, but the other kids are fine. Jinxi is such a blessed boy, we are all very happy for him,” Teacher Yuan replied with a smile.

When they entered the living room, they noted that the other children were not there. There were only the old Principal, Teacher Wang and Jinxi sitting on the couch; a middle-aged couple and Mo Jingsheng sat on the opposite side.

Mo Jinxi was hugging the old Principal’s arm tightly. He did not look calm, his curious eyes looking at the middle-aged couple.

Lin Chu presumed that the middle-aged couple to be Mo Jingsheng’s parents.

The legendary Police Chief Mo looked to be older than on the television. Lin Chu could not help thinking that nowadays photoshop seemed to be the norm when a leader goes live on television or take a photograph.

It was just like how one would see him in the television news, Police Chief Mo’s hair was dyed black, and combed at a 7-to-3 parting with hair gel. His hair was so impeccably styled that not a single strand of hair fell.

He wore a fitting and well-ironed suit and did not unbutton his jacket even when sitting down. He sat so upright as if he was being photographed.

Madam Mo, who was sitting by his side, wore a casual and loose cream-colored wool blouse, black cropped pants and high heel shoes. Her hair was styled in a bun. A cashmere coat was draped on the side of the couch.

Police Chief Mo brought his wife out to official functions sometimes. However, she did not appear in the public often so if nobody were to mention, Lin Chu might not recognize her.

Now that she recognized her, she felt that her poise was more approachable in person. She looked decorous on television, as she had to always look her best in front of the camera. Even though she portrayed a good image, but it seemed to be a chore to the general public.

Madam Mo still looked decorous in person, but she seemed to be livelier; her makeup was not as exquisite and perfect as it looked on screen and was much more natural and fresh looking.

Liang Xiulin was staring at Mo Jinxi intently, her eyes not blinking one bit as if she was afraid that Mo Jinxi would disappear if she were to blink.

Her expression was gentle, and by the looks of it, she seemed like she could not wait to give everything to Mo Jinxi.
