The only way to save Xiaoling's life was to have a kidney transplant, but the operation fee cost 300,000 yuan. Xiang Xiaochuang sent all the money he could save back to the orphanage every month.
Hearing Chen Mo's question, Xiang Xiaochuang had a sad look on his face: "We are all part-time workers. Although we live frugally, it's still not enough. Fortunately, I got promoted this year and can send more back. I called yesterday
I called Director Liu and found that there was still a shortfall of 100,000 yuan. I calculated that it might take until next year to collect the surgery fee."
Chen Mo asked in surprise: "Are you the only one collecting money?"
Xiang Xiaochuang picked up the vermicelli in Malatang in a nonchalant manner: "A few of them are also joining in. Maybe boys spend more, so they don't raise as much as I do."
"Actually, I think you are the only one who is interested in it. Although they send it back more or less, they always only show a little affection. You are the only one who treats Xiaoling as your own sister."
Xiang Xiaochuang was a little lost: "Xiaoling... is also very pitiful."
Chen Mo said angrily: "I think you are very pitiful!"
"How could it be? I have a place to live, food to eat, and clothes to wear, how can I be pitiful? Momo, you don't know how grateful I am to the orphanage. Without it, I would be gone."
"Oh, it's a pity that you didn't see our president that day. He is a really handsome man. If he also fell in love with you, he wouldn't have to worry about Xiaoling's surgery fee anymore."
Xiang Xiaochuang blushed with guilt and said nothing.
"It's true. I have never seen such a handsome man, even a celebrity!"
"Stop talking, I'm thinking about Tian."
"Seeing how hard you are working, has he never thought of paying for the surgery? After all, he is the boss of a company. Three hundred thousand is not a big sum for him, right?"
"This is my responsibility, not his. How can I let him take it? Besides, his company has been in recession recently, and I am very worried. Can I still bother him?"
In fact, she once told him about Xiaoling's situation, but he didn't say anything, so Xiang Xiaochuang just let it go and didn't mention it again.
After all, Xiaoling was not related to him, so he couldn't blame him if he didn't lend a helping hand. However, the disappointment in his heart was inevitable. It was like a thorn, and he would feel confused every time he thought about the future between her and Shen Sidian.
Fortunately, we are still young, so we won't think about life-long problems for the time being.
After appeasing her stomach, Chen Mo asked her to go shopping together. Xiang Xiaochuang mentally calculated the progress of the past few days and finally allowed himself a little luxury.
The busy traffic on the street creates a bustling atmosphere. Even watching people coming and going, it feels like a rare scenery.
They like to visit the small shops along the street. As long as they are discerning, they can often choose unique and affordable clothes here.
Chen Mo picked two pieces and was very happy. Suddenly she excitedly picked out a white long skirt: "Xiaochuang, look, you will look good in this dress."
It is made of chiffon, with a fluffy hem design that gently brushes over Xiang Xiaochuang's fingers like mist. The design is very simple, but it has a dreamlike mood.
Except for a touch of rhinestones on the chest that seemed to be accidentally sprinkled on it, the entire dress has no other embellishments.
"Look, only your figure can fit it!" Chen Mo attached the long skirt to a hanger and placed it on her chest, "It will look particularly beautiful on you."
