Chapter 201: Chapter 201: She Can’t Be an Illegitimate Daughter, Can She?

Lin Qi followed the teacher to the director’s office to complete the procedures and filled out various tedious documents. Finally, the director relented and agreed that she could take Lili home to stay for a while.

When Lin Qi arrived at the dormitory, Lili was already awake. She thought that Lin Qi had sneaked away while she was sleeping and her eyes were red with sadness. Seeing Lin Qi come in, she showed a surprised expression.

Lin Qi asked, “Lili, how about I take you to stay with me for a while? Would you like to come with me?”

Upon hearing this, Lili nodded her head eagerly, “Okay.”

In the evening.

Lin Qi quickly packed Lili’s luggage and then took her home.

Huo Mansion.

The servants had just prepared dinner when Lin Qi brought Lili back.

Upon seeing the dirty child Lin Qi brought back, the servant was taken aback and asked, “Miss Lin, where did this child come from?”

Lin Qi said, “This child…” She was at a loss for words on how to explain.

Lili hid fearfully behind Lin Qi, too timid to show her face.

Lin Qi said, “It’s okay, Lili, tonight, I’m taking you home.”

Lin Qi led Lili into the house.

Huo Tingdong had not yet returned. The Old Madam and Huo Yanlin were in the dining room, and Ye Chan was also there.

Upon seeing Lin Qi lead a skinny little girl home, Ye Chan reacted the most, “Lin Qi, who is this child?”

Could it be her illegitimate daughter?

Lin Qi did not directly answer her question but said to the servant, “You take her upstairs for a bath first.”

“Okay.”

The servant asked, “Does she have any clothes to change into?”

Lin Qi gave all of Lili’s clothes to her.

The servant took the bag and frowned, “These clothes are so tattered…”

Lin Qi said, “Just change into them temporarily, and I will take her to buy some clothes tomorrow.”

She also felt uneasy.

Originally, she had wanted to donate money to the orphanage, but when sorting Lili’s clothes, she found that Lili’s clothes were all worn out, hand-me-downs from older children.

She had clearly donated money to the orphanage previously, but it hadn’t been used on Lili.

She asked the teacher, and the teacher said that the money was put into the welfare fund of the orphanage. The orphanage supported many children, and the expenses for food, clothing, and supplies were considerable. Among so many lonely children, Lili was not the most pitiful.

The teacher had taken some of the money Lin Qi gave and bought a few clothes for Lili, but because Lili was wearing new clothes, she was bullied by the older children, and even had her clothes taken away. The teacher was afraid that if she continued to treat Lili specially, Lili would be bullied even worse.

In such circumstances, the teacher also had her reasons.

Lin Qi then decided to take Lili back to stay for a while.

“You go ahead and take her upstairs.”

The servant took Lili upstairs.

Ye Chan saw Lin Qi disregard her words, and her heart felt sour, her eyes sharp, “I’m talking to you.”

After the servant had taken Lili upstairs, Lin Qi finally turned around and said, “She is an orphan. Her mother is not around, her father doesn’t want her, so I want to adopt her.”

Ye Chan sneered, “I didn’t expect you to have such kindness.”

Lin Qi said, “It’s not about kindness, I just have some feelings for this child.”

Ye Chan said, “Does Tingdong know about this? He said he wants to marry you. If you want to adopt this child, does he agree?”

Lin Qi said, “This matter definitely needs to be properly discussed between two people.”

Ye Chan heard this, but did not express an opinion, and merely gently bumped Huo Yanlin’s arm.

Huo Yanlin asked, “We already have two kids at home, and when you marry Tingdong, there will be Momo and Han. If you adopt this little girl now, won’t it be too many children?”

Lin Qi said, “Raising one more child won’t add much burden.”

Ye Chan said, “You say that so lightly, but it’s not you who is paying for it, it’s Tingdong’s money.”

Old Madam frowned.

Lin Qi said, “If I decide to adopt this child, I will earn money to support her.”

Ye Chan asked, “Do you have a job?”

Lin Qi said, “Not at the moment.”

Ye Chan said, “Exactly, you have no job, you can’t even support yourself, how can you support someone else’s child?”

Lin Qi smiled slightly, “As you said, it’s Tingdong’s money that will be spent, not yours.”

Ye Chan heard this and almost lost her composure, “You…”

Huo Yanlin’s hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, he raised his head, and was a bit displeased with Lin Qi because of her statement, “That’s not something you should say.”

Momo truly didn’t like Ye Chan, seeing her continuously looking at Lin Qi with disdain, he suddenly said, “Do you have a job?”

Ye Chan was stunned, “Are you asking me?”

Momo blinked, “Yes, I’m asking you, do you have a job?”

Ye Chan was stunned.

Momo smiled, “You also don’t have a job, you also rely on others, you have no right to say that.”

His words were quite blunt.

Huo Yanlin frowned, naturally, he wanted to defend Ye Chan, but the one speaking was Momo, and there was some estrangement between him and Momo, thus he didn’t know how to articulate his reproach.

Ye Chan said somewhat angrily, “But I don’t have children to support. Besides, I’m also considering you and Han. What if your mom adopts another child and then stops doting on you?”

Momo said, “Thanks, but no need.”

Ye Chan’s expression stiffened again.

Momo looked towards Lin Qi and said to her, “Mommy, you don’t need to work, if no one supports you, I will support you. If you want to adopt this sister, I agree.”

Han also nodded, “I agree too.”

Han had also grown up in an orphanage, he knew what kind of place it was, and if Mommy really wanted to adopt this sister, he was also willing to accept her.

Lin Qi was moved in her heart.

Ye Chan couldn’t help but sing a different tune, “How old are you? You can’t even support yourself, yet you talk about supporting your Mommy? Kids really don’t understand.”

Momo snorted coldly, not wanting to deal with it any longer.

After dinner.

Lin Qi asked the servant to save some dinner and bring it upstairs.

Lili had taken a bath and changed her clothes.

As Lin Qi entered the room, she saw Lili sitting on the bed in clean, tattered clothes, looking completely transformed after her bath.

She had been sent to the orphanage and hadn’t had the opportunity to take a thoroughly clean bath, hence, her body was very dirty.

Lin Qi originally thought that Lili’s skin was naturally dark, but after the bath and scrubbing off the grime, Lili’s skin turned out to be snowy white, and thereby, her wounds were even more striking.

The servant complained incessantly, “She was so dirty, I had to wash her for a long time.”

Lin Qi smiled bitterly, “Thank you for your efforts.”

The servant shook her head, “But, this little girl is quite well-behaved. She has wounds, and even when I scrubbed her, she didn’t flinch from the pain. I’m just worried there might be something wrong with her mind.”
