The little boy cried out very loudly, drawing everyone’s attention.
Shui Anluo turned around as well but the first thing she saw was Lan Xin.
Lan Xin pushed the little boy over and curled the corners of her lips, “Luoluo…”
“Senior Sister.” Shui Anluo slowly greeted her after she calmed herself down. She lowered her head and looked at the little boy in the wheelchair.
“Why, don’t you recognize him? It’s that boy you had saved that day.” Lan Xin smiled. “He found out that the benefit was today so he asked me to bring him here to meet you.”
Shui Anluo lowered her head and stared at him seriously. The rain had been too heavy that day and it had been quite dark. She did not notice how the child had looked like but now that she could see him, this kid was pretty cute.
Shui Anluo knelt down and stared at him in surprise. “Are you feeling better now?”
The little boy nodded. He reached out to take Shui Anluo’s hand and she quickly reached out to hold his hand. The little boy smiled shyly. “Thank you, Auntie.”
Shui Anluo wrapped his little hand in hers. “As long as you’re alright, all is well.” Shui Anluo then looked at Lan Xin tensely. She dropped the smile she had for the little boy and replaced it with one that did not reach her eyes. “Senior Sister, are his injuries alright?”
“He’s alright, just a few more days of convalescence will do. He’ll be able to go home after that. The only thig is, his home is gone.” Lan Xin looked rather helpless as she explained.
Luo Xuan and Chu Ningyi turned to Lan Xin at the same time but they stayed silent.
Shui Anluo spoke soothingly. “A home can be rebuilt as long as one is alright. Don’t you agree, Senior Sister?”
Lan Xin nodded in response.
The little boy nodded as well and smiled at Shui Anluo shyly. “Auntie, are you okay? They said that something had happened to you. I didn’t believe it.”
“Why didn’t you believe it?” Something had indeed happened to her but she had someone by her side who would find her in the first instant.
Shui Anluo turned to gaze at the man behind her at the thought of this.
Chu Ningyi reached out and held her shoulder. He gazed straight into her eyes as his eyes filled with unchanging loving tenderness.
Gu Qingchen groaned secretly. “Not again.”
“Because you’re a good person, Auntie, you’re a hero,” said the little boy seriously.
Shui Anluo stroked his head and got up to look at Chu Ningyi with a bit of smugness. The last time she had said that she saved a life, Director Chu had scolded her with: ‘Do you feel proud now?’
However, she does feel very proud right now!
As Shui Anluo and the little boy chatted, Lan Xin pulled a cheque from her bag and handed it to Gu Qingchen. “It’s not much but it’s a bit of my kind regard. Besides, Luoluo had got into the accident because she had gone in my place. I’ve been feeling rather guilty.”
Lan Xin stared apologetically at Shui Anluo.
Gu Qingchen looked at the number on the cheque and clicked her tongue. “It’s a really large sum.”
Chu Ningyi glanced at it and remarked indifferently. “Lan Xin’s father is a wealthy businessman in France. This bit of money isn’t much to her.”
Shui Anluo smirked and did not give an opinion but a glint of disdain flashed through her lowered eyelids flashed.
“He’s not really a wealthy businessman but we do have some money.” Lan Xin smiled.
Luo Xuan glanced over indifferently and smirked. “Miss Lan, did you give the wrong cheque? You’ve clearly left out one zero, haven’t you?”
Luo Xuan’s voice was soft. Chu Ningyi lowered his head and his eyes caught a slight tremble in Lan Xin’s fingertips.
Lan Xin controlled her trembling fingertips and turned around to smile at Luo Xuan. “Ah, it’s Mister Luo. Naturally, the Lan family is nothing compared to the Luo family. I really can’t afford to donate thirty million dollars.”
