Qiao Jing frowned, looked at the two children, and asked with confusion on his face.
"Your home? Where is your home?"
No matter how she looked at these two children, she didn't feel like they had a family. If they had a family, their parents would not let them become like this.
The clothes on both of them were worn to the point of holes, they were dirty, their hair was messy, and they were picking up bottles. They looked like homeless children.
The little boy lowered his head in inferiority, stared at his toes, nervously grabbed his hand and spoke.
"Our home is...under the South Bridge..."
He and his sister have had no home since they could remember, and they usually sleep in the bridge cave under the South Bridge.
Qiao Jing's eyes revealed a bit of helplessness and sympathy. When she was about to raise her hand to touch the little boy's head, the boy dodged away.
The little boy covered his head with his hands and apologized.
"I'm sorry, sister. I forgot to hide away before you touched my head. It hasn't rained recently, so I haven't washed my hair for a few days. It's very dirty."
After hearing what the little boy said, Qiao Jing felt heartbroken.
"It's okay. I'll take you to my house to treat your wounds and take a bath. Can I take you to the orphanage tomorrow?"
Perhaps because she became a mother, she couldn't bear to see such a scene now.
Moreover, the two children are very sensible. How could she be willing to let them continue to wander?
The little boy's eyes lit up when he heard the words "welfare home".
"Welfare home? Can we go to the welfare home too?"
Qiao Jing said "hmm".
The two little ones were jumping happily on the spot, and the little girl had a look of joy on her face.
"That's great, brother! If we go to the orphanage, we will have a place to live, so we don't have to live under Nanqiao every day.
And I heard that the children there eat very well, they don’t eat steamed buns, they only eat meat and vegetables!”
The little boy also had a happy smile on his face.
"Then we don't have to pick up bottles every day."
Qiao Jing looked at the happy expressions of the two little ones, his eyebrows arched.
"You have to rest at my house for one night and I will send you there tomorrow."
After hearing this, the joyful look on the little boy's face disappeared, and he gradually became hesitant and tangled.
"However, my sister and I are dirty. If we go to your house, we will make your house dirty."
The little girl's originally bright eyes dimmed again, and she timidly hid behind the little boy.
"Sister...we are very dirty. Do you really want to take us to your house?"
My brother is right. She and her brother are both very dirty. If we go to her sister's house, we will stain the furniture in her house.
Qiao Jing directly took the hands of the two children and led them to the side of the road.
"It's okay, I'll take you back and take a shower and you'll be clean."
She had also contacted someone just now and asked them to send new clothes to the apartment.
The important thing is that the little boy still has wounds on his body, which must be taken care of quickly.
When the two children were first held by Qiao Jing, they all retracted their hands.
The brother and sister stood close together, following behind Qiao Jing.
The little boy opened his mouth to explain why they did what they did.
"Sister, thank you for taking us home, but our hands are very dirty and we can walk by ourselves."
The little girl also nodded vigorously.
"Thank you sister! We can go by ourselves."
The little boy suddenly remembered something and turned around to go back.
"Sister, I haven't picked up my bicycle yet."
Qiao Jing did not insist on holding the hands of the two children. She raised her eyes and glanced at the dilapidated bicycle not far away.
"That bicycle is too old. If you pick it up again, what if the brakes fail and hit someone on the road next time?"
She knew that the little boy cherished this only bicycle, after all, it was the only thing he could barely get rid of.
But she had to consider the safety of her two children. She had just seen that the bicycle could not brake at all and had to rely on foot braking.
Moreover, the bicycle chain is also rusty and half of it cannot fall off. If Gu Jiahao had kicked the bicycle just now, the bicycle would definitely fall apart.
The little boy reluctantly looked back at the bicycle, hesitated for a long time, and then followed Qiao Jing's footsteps.
Qiao Jing took her two children into a taxi and returned to Nantai Apartment.
After the three of them got out of the car, Qiao Jing wanted to take them home quickly and have a good rest.
What's more, the little boy's wound has stopped bleeding, and the gravel will be more difficult to remove.
After seeing such a high-end community, the two children were so shocked that they were speechless and froze on the spot.
Qiao Jing saw the reactions of the two children and took a few steps forward to hold their hands. This time she used a little force so that the two children could not break away.
"Take care of the wound quickly."
After she arrived at the door of her house with her two children, she found that they were even more reserved.
After opening the door, the first thing Qiao Jing saw was Zhan Qi Pei.
"Why are you back?"
She remembered that when Zhan Qipei called her, he said that he was still in the company.
Just when Zhan Qipei was about to speak, he noticed the two dirty children next to Qiao Jing.
He raised his long, smoky eyebrows and looked confused.
"I came back early, who are they?"
Qiao Jin bent down to find two pairs of slippers and placed them in the entrance hall, then gently pushed the two wooden figures who were frozen in place.
"Change your shoes."
The two children were extremely nervous when they were at the door. After seeing Zhan Qi Pei, they did not dare to move.
They looked at Qiao Jing as if asking for help.
Qiao Jing glanced at the expressionless Zhan Qi Pei, and then at the nervous child, who was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.
"Zhan Qi Pei, you go to the living room first and I will explain to you later."
She could tell that the two children were afraid of fighting Qi Pei. After all, this man usually had a straight face.
Zhan Qipei's brows furrowed even more tightly, but he did not stop where he was and walked towards the living room.
My wife is the biggest in the world.
He had to listen to Qiao Jing's words.
After Zhan Qi Pei left, the two children carefully put on their slippers and looked at Qiao Jing's house with big eyes.
Qiao Jing also changed her shoes and brought the two children to the living room. She looked at the little girl.
"I'll take you to take a bath first."
At the same time, the doorbell at home rang.
When she was about to get up and open the door, Zhan Qi Pei had already passed by.
Zhan Qipei came back with a bag in his hand, put it on the table, and asked again.
"Where did they come from?"
He saw two sets of children's clothes inside the bag and knew that Qiao Jing wanted to help these two children.
After hearing what Zhan Qi Pei said, the two children seemed even more cautious.
They were so scared of the tall man in front of them that they all ran to hide behind Qiao Jing.
Zhan Qipei pursed his thin lips and stared at the two children.
Qiao Jing took the bag from the man and took out a set of girl's clothes.
"I'll talk to you later."
She took the little girl to the bathroom, adjusted the water temperature, put the clothes aside, and gave instructions to the little girl.
"You can come out directly after taking a shower."
The little girl nodded her head.
Qiao Jing closed the bathroom door, and when she returned to the living room, she found that the big one and the small one were in the living room, staring at each other.
But the little boy looked at Zhan Qi Pei secretly, and immediately looked away after taking one look.
She could see how scared the little boy was standing here alone after she left.
Zhan Qipei kept staring at the little boy and frowned.
