Chapter 277 Lin Xiuxiang Will Be Forcibly Taken Away
Chapter 277 Lin Xiuxiang will be forcibly taken away
The biscuits had just been baked in the morning and were still warm. The warmth of the biscuits seemed to reach from Qiao Jing's palms directly to her heart.
The images of the children appeared in Qiao Jing's mind, and she showed a soft smile.
"I just want to do that. I don't want anything in return from them. I just want them to live happily."
Xu Moqian no longer disturbed the two of them chatting. He had to go back and think carefully about how to implement his plan, so he said hello to Qiao Jing.
"Sister Jing, I'm going to leave first. You two can chat slowly."
Qiao Jing nodded slightly.
Lin Xiuxiang smiled and took out her mobile phone.
"Qiaoqiao, let me show you some videos and photos. The children asked me to take them and then show them to you."
The first thing that pops up after clicking on the photo album is a photo of a child from an orphanage.
Lin Xiuxiang handed the phone to Qiao Jing and said, "They asked you to finish reading it."
After Qiao Jing saw the innocent smiles on the children's faces, she couldn't help but follow them and raised the corners of her lips.
When I clicked on the first video, several little girls gathered together, holding small flowers picked from nowhere in their hands, with worries written all over their faces.
"Sister Qiao, you have to take care of yourself and get well soon. Remember to eat the biscuits we made."
"And more! We miss you very much. When will you be free to visit us?"
"Remember to come and see us."
"..."
Qiao Jing laughed softly, watched another video of the little boys together, and finally turned to a group photo of everyone.
After viewing all the photos and videos one by one, she wanted to return the phone to Lin Xiuxiang, but found that the other person was staring at the cookie bag in a daze.
Qiao Jing could feel that Lin Xiuxiang's mood suddenly dropped a lot. When she was looking at her phone, the other person was already distracted.
"What's wrong?"
After Lin Xiuxiang heard Qiao Jing's voice, her thoughts were pulled back. She didn't have time to adjust her facial expression, and her expression was still a little dull.
"It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."
Qiao Jing looked away from her and returned the phone to Lin Xiuxiang.
She and Lin Xiuxiang have known each other since they were very young, and they are both very familiar with each other's personalities.
Qiao Jing knew that Lin Xiuxiang must be hiding something from her, but it was useless even if she asked.
The other party refused to tell her just to prevent her from worrying or to worry about bothering her, so it was absolutely impossible to tell her.
She didn't ask Lin Xiuxiang either, and the two of them talked about some matters in the welfare home.
Finally, Lin Xiuxiang glanced at the time and patted her head.
"I almost forgot, I have a class later, I have to go back first, Qiao Qiao."
"good."
Qiao Jing sent the person to the door of the ward, stared at the person's retreating back, and took out her cell phone after her sight disappeared.
She found Tang Yan in the contact column and called the other party.
"What's happened to Xiangxiang recently?"
Tang Yan was still curious about what the boss lady wanted to do with him suddenly, but he couldn't answer this question.
He promised Xiangxiang not to tell Qiao Jing, but he didn't know how to hide it from the other party, and he paused while answering.
"No...Xiangxiang is doing well recently."
Qiao Jing knew from Tang Yan's reaction that there must be something hidden from her, and she also guessed that Lin Xiuxiang asked Tang Yan not to tell him.
"Xiangxiang didn't let you tell me, right? I know she was afraid that I would worry, so she didn't tell me, but the more she didn't tell me, the more worried I would be."
"I have always regarded Xiangxiang as my younger sister. I know her character and she likes to keep some things in her heart, but I don't want her to have to carry them all by herself."
Tang Yan also started to feel embarrassed. He felt that Qiao Jing was right. Besides, this was not a trivial matter. Qiao Jing would know about it in the end anyway. He felt even more distressed when he thought that Xiangxiang had been bothered by this matter for several days.
After Qiao Jing noticed that there was no sound on the other end of the phone, she continued talking.
"She and I are both family members. Her business is my business. No matter what happens, I won't find it troublesome. I don't want her to treat me as an outsider!"
Tang Yan finally sighed and told the story.
"Xiangxiang's family came to find her and wanted to take her away."
Qiao Jing didn't expect this to happen, and her face went blank for a moment.
Tang Yan continued to talk.
"Xiangxiang's home is far away from the imperial capital. Her family came to the imperial capital to discuss business and took Xiangxiang home."
"But Xiangxiang didn't want to leave. She told me that she couldn't bear to leave the orphanage, the children, and even you."
After hearing the last sentence, Qiao Jing's heart beat several times quickly, a warm current passed through her heart, and her voice softened.
"I see."
The call was hung up.
The next day, Qiao Jing went through the discharge procedures despite Zhan Qi Pei's objection.
Zhan Qi Pei talked about it on the way to send Qiao Jing to the orphanage.
"Is it really okay? Do you still feel uncomfortable? I'll buy you some more stomach medicine."
Qiao Jing had a headache when she thought of those stomach medicines before, and she helplessly held her forehead.
"The doctor said that I can stay in the hospital for observation for two or three days. I don't feel any discomfort, so I don't need to buy any medicine."
Zhan Qipei raised his long eyebrows, his tone full of worry.
"Are you going to work in the research institute after you go to the orphanage? Can you take another day off?"
Qiao Jing nodded slightly. She also thought that if she went to the orphanage today, she might not go home until the afternoon, and she would not have time to go to the research institute.
What's more, after the experts at the institute learned that she was hospitalized, they all said that her health was the most important thing and they asked her to rest at home and would contact her if she had any questions.
Especially Xu Hongzu, after hearing the news that she was hospitalized, he quickly called her and asked her to rest at home for a month before coming back. If she secretly came to work at the institute, someone would send her home to rest.
But she knew her physical condition and could continue to work. Qiao Jing gave Zhan Qipei an answer.
"I'll go to work tomorrow."
Zhan Qipei's expression softened a little and he stopped the car at the entrance of the orphanage.
"I'll pick you up later. If you feel uncomfortable, please contact me as soon as possible."
Qiao sighed and closed the car door.
"I'll take a taxi back, you go to work."
When Qiao Jing came to the orphanage, she immediately saw Lin Xiuxiang sweeping the floor.
She was obviously distracted, the broom in her hand was moving constantly, and she didn't even know that dust had been swept onto her shoes.
The little boy who was playing football accidentally made a parabola in the air and finally hit Lin Xiuxiang on the head.
The little boy was so frightened that he ran to Lin Xiuxiang, picked up his football, and bowed to her at a ninety-degree angle before straightening up.
"Teacher, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it. Do you feel any pain? I'll find some medicine for you."
Lin Xiuxiang raised her head, her eyes a little hollow, and shook her head at the little boy.
"No, you go and play."
The little boy then left with his football in his arms and went to play somewhere further away.
