Chapter 179: The Promised Farewell

  ♂?,,

  At that time, Yan Wanwan jokingly said, "This can't be long-lost siblings, right?"

  Colleagues laughed at her for being too good at making up stories. "Nowadays kids all look alike, how can they possibly be twins?"

  Yan Rourou thought for a moment and then helped Xiaohudie put on her clothes.

  On one side, a pile of clothes taken off by the female infants, she flipped through them and pulled out a jade pendant, "Huh, whose is this?"

  Colleagues took a glance and said, "I guess it's something left by the parents of the baby girl."

  Yan Ran was somewhat embarrassed, "There are three female infants here, whose are they?"

  "I don't know, whoever has better clothes is who it belongs to." That's my colleague's logic.

  Yan Ranran also thought it was quite persuasive at the time, so she found a piece of clothing that looked pretty good and asked her colleagues, "Whose is this?"

  "She picked up one of the children and waved it in front of Yan Ruru."

  "Alright, here you go." She hung the jade pendant around the little girl's neck and said, "Take good care of it, this might be a token for her parents to recognize her when they come looking for her."

  "Hmm." The colleague nodded, holding the baby girl in her arms and glancing at another pair of identical twins beside her, "Looking at these two, they really do look alike. If I were to hold this one too, it would be just like having triplets to feed."

  "Alright, and you said I'd make up stories, I think it's you who would." Yan Wanting teased, as she dressed the little butterfly, "From now on, she'll be called Little Butterfly."

  "Then I'll just call this little one Xiaoyuer because she has a jade pendant."

  "What about this one that looks just like a small butterfly?" Yan Wanting looked at her colleague.

  "Let's call her Butterfly Xiao," said a colleague after some thought.

  Yan Ranran,"......"

  This naming ability is really powerful.

  Colleagues also said with a smirk, "Isn't it said that two people look alike? Now they look even more alike, haha."

  Yan Rourou put the small butterfly in the crib and gently rocked it.

  ****

  "Dean's mother?" Tang Xiangxiang came out of the hot bath, called out several times, but didn't get a response, only to find Dean's mother standing in front of the window in a daze.

  She gently patted her, and Yan Rourou was startled awake, returning to reality from her memories. Her eyes were disordered as she looked at Tang Mianning, "Wash... is the washing done?"

  "Thank you, Principal's mother, for the clothes," Tang Xiangxiang said gratefully.

  Yan Rourou shook her head and looked at Tang Miannian carefully, "It's already late at night now, let's stay here tonight and go back to the city tomorrow."

  Tang Mianmian hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Okay."

  It's really not suitable to go back now.

  Yan Rourou quickly went to put away the bedding, "There are no extra rooms in the orphanage, just squeeze in with me."

  "Good." Tang Mianmian was not a picky person, and now she was even more grateful to the Dean's mother.

  Yan Rourou tidied up the bed and added another quilt, while reminding her, "The orphanage is simple and doesn't have heating, it's cold at night, only electric blankets can be used, I'm turning it on now, so it will be warm when you sleep."

  Tang Mianni nodded slightly, wiping her hair at the same time. Due to the humidity, she let out a sneeze in an instant.

  "Must have caught a chill," Yan Wanwan said hastily. "I'll go boil some ginger soup, wait a minute."

  "Director Ma, don't bother."

  "No trouble, just a moment, wait for me." Yan Wanting hastily went into the small kitchen.

  Tang Mianmian finally sat down on the edge of the bed, using a towel to wipe her hair while sizing up the director's mother's room.

  The conditions of the orphanage are indeed poor. The room I am in is a converted attic and the space is very cramped.

  I'm not very tall myself, and I almost hit the ceiling here. If Long Ye Jue came in, he'd definitely have to duck, wouldn't he?

  Her eyes dimmed, and a bitter sorrow welled up in her heart. Why did she think of Long Ye again?

  Didn't we agree to meet again?

  Tang Miyan closed her eyes and hypnotized herself, expelling Long Ye's image from her mind.

  Before long, Yan Wanting brought over a bowl of ginger soup, smiling as she handed it to her. "Quick, drink it while it's hot, it's very effective at driving out the cold. Whenever the children in the orphanage have a headache or fever, I make them ginger soup to drink."

  "Thank you, Dean's mother." Tang Xiangxiang gratefully accepted.

  "Just like Dye Dye, call me Mom Yan, Principal Mom sounds so unfamiliar." Yan Wanting said with a smile.

  Tang Mianmian nodded obediently, "Okay."

  Yan Rongrong watched her finish drinking the ginger soup, then put away the bowl and came back to urge her to rest.

  Because the electric blanket was turned on, the bed was indeed warm, and Tang Siyi lay on it, her heart also seemed to have warmed up.

  Yan Rourou was about to go to sleep when there was a knock at the door. She quickly opened it, and at the entrance stood a little girl who burst into tears as soon as she saw Yan Rourou. "Mommy Yan, Doudou wants to sleep next to you, doesn't want to sleep alone."

  "Doudou, not today, Mom has guests today and can't take care of you."

  A little girl hugged an old teddy bear and looked inside it.

  Tang Mianmian lay on the bed, saw the little girl's star-like eyes, and her heart inexplicably softened. She suggested, "Yan Mama, why not let her sleep together?"

  "Will it be too crowded?" Yan Wanting was somewhat concerned, "This child has just arrived at the orphanage and is very scared. For these days, he has been sleeping next to me, tonight I reckon he won't dare sleep alone."

  "It's okay, let her sleep together." Tang MiMi lifted the quilt and beckoned to DuoDuo, "Come on, we'll sleep together."

  The little ones looked at Yan Wanting with trepidation, and after getting her nod, they hurried over, but their small bodies couldn't climb up.

  Tang Mianmian bent down and picked her up in one move, Xiao Duo looked at this unfamiliar aunt with great curiosity, but not fear.

  "Lying in bed and curiously asked, 'The bed is so warm, it wasn't this warm before.'"

  Tang Mianmian's heart tightened, guessing that usually, Yan Mama wouldn't be willing to turn on the electric blanket.

  Tonight, for myself, I turned on the electric blanket...

  Tang MiMi was extremely grateful and hugged Xiao DuoDuo, asking "How old are you this year?"

  "Two and a half." Little Dodo's sweet voice was very pleasant to hear.

  Tang Xianxian's heart had all turned into water.

  They say children are angels, and this sentence is absolutely right. At this moment, little Doudou in her eyes is a lovely angel.

  Can comfort some wounds that others cannot comfort.

  Tang Mianmian's right hand subconsciously caressed her own belly, where a little angel was also being nurtured.

  I don't know if after birth, I will also have a sweet smile and a soothing voice like Xiao Duoduo.

  ****

  The next day, Yan Ruru got up early and prepared breakfast for the children in the orphanage.

  Tang Mianmian was dressing up Xiao Duoduo when she discovered that the child's small hands and feet had all gotten frostbite, while her clothes were just some old hand-me-downs from bigger kids that didn't fit and wouldn't keep her warm.

  Tang Mianmian inexplicably felt a sour taste, and left all the cash on her body in Yan Mama's room.

  Xiao Duo looked at her curiously and asked, "Tang Auntie, what is this?"

  "This is money, kept for Xiaodoudou to buy new clothes, okay?"

  Xiao Duo Duo nodded as if she understood but didn't really understand, and was then carried by Tang Xiang Xiang to the small hall downstairs.

  There were already quite a few children inside, big and small, uneven in size.

  The older ones should take care of the younger ones and help Yan Ruran with some household chores.

  The little one is a baby, crying uncontrollably in the stroller.

  Tang Mianmian hurriedly went to coax her, and after great difficulty, she finally coaxed her into calming down. Yan Rourou's breakfast was also ready by then.

  It is the most common breakfast.

  Congee with soy milk.

  The congee is very thin, and the soy milk is also very light.

  Even fried dough sticks are gone, I guess they're a luxury now.

  Tang Mianmian's heart was even more bitter and astringent, but she could only endure it silently.

  The entire orphanage had only two people in charge, Yan Wanting and another girl who had just come of age.

  The conditions were harsh, but the children had the most genuine smiles.

  Tang MiMi finished her breakfast and was about to say goodbye. After waving goodbye to the little friends, Mother Yan escorted her to the door.

  "Xianxian, are your parents doing well?"

  "Not good, my father was in a car accident and became a vegetable, my mother also got hurt because of me yesterday and is still in the hospital now. I'll go clean up the room first and then head to the hospital to take care of my mother."

  Tang Mianmian said these words, and it was inconvenient for Yan Ruoru to ask about the problems in her family, so she could only say, "Then hurry up and go."

  "Okay, thank you, Mother Yan."

  "Don't be so polite, when can you let Yan Ran come back and visit me?" Yan Wanting reminded.

  Tang Mianni knew that Fu Ran didn't tell Yan Wanting about her experience, but instead concealed it by saying she was sent on a business trip to another place by the company.

  She nodded silently with a tinge of bitterness, and under Yan Yanyan's concerned gaze, she left the orphanage step by step.

  She wanted to help the orphanage but was powerless to do so.

  She didn't have much money on her own, the money given by Old Master was going to be sent to Long Ye Jue via express after she returned, and what's left would be the money given by her parents.

  Those who have to bear their father's high hospitalization fees...

  It seems I have to find something to do myself.

  ***

  The house that had been rented was still available, everything inside was ready for use, she just needed to tidy up a bit and she could move in.

  After packing up for an entire morning, I decided to take a taxi to the hospital.

  He thought taking a taxi was too expensive, so he took the bus to the hospital instead.

  Because she was exposed by the media for her appearance before, she was very careful when getting on the bus, burying almost her entire face in a scarf, sitting in the corner at the back, minimizing her presence.

  The bus swayed back and forth, moving very slowly, and Tang Xianxian also fell into her own thoughts at this speed.

  It wasn't until a news report came on the TV in the car that she was drawn in.

  According to the latest news, Long Yejie, the eldest son of the Long family, the first wealthy family in Jiang City, was discharged from the hospital this morning. From the time he was hospitalized after a car accident to his discharge, it only took five days. At such a speed, it is impossible for him to fully recover. Why did Long Yejie want to leave the hospital so urgently? Experts speculate that the recent sharp decline in the stock price of the Longshi Foundation has caused quite a stir, and Long Yejie's hasty departure from the hospital is likely due to the foundation's affairs. This also suggests that the Long family has encountered a major crisis. There are also rumors that the Jiashi Group under Long Yejie's name will lose its domestic backing due to the failure of its cooperation with JR, and the coastal scenic area project will also be lost. This is another significant blow to the Jiashi Group. Experts even predict that the position of the first wealthy family in Jiang City is about to change hands.

  Tang Mianni bit her lip, suppressing herself, not letting herself cry out loud.

  The screen continued to play the scene of Long Ye's discharge from the hospital.

  A figure in all black, wearing a mask and sunglasses, stayed on screen for only a few seconds before disappearing into the car door.
