Chapter 1296: Where did the country bumpkin come from?
The reason why Lin Xiao was willing to pay so much for the children in the orphanage, and even went to the trouble to build a new orphanage, was because he wanted to repay Liu Mei's kindness in taking care of him and raising him in this way.
But this involves his identity.
Lin Xiao is the nine-star commander and the youngest protector of the Dragon Kingdom.
Although his identity is not a top secret in the Dragon Kingdom, it is still a very high-level secret and is definitely not something that ordinary people can know.
This is also the main reason why he rarely reveals his true identity in front of others. Until now, the entire Jingnan knows that he is the nine-star commander, and there will be no more than five people.
This naturally does not include the father and daughter Zhao Guangwei and Zhao Rong, nor does it include the Chen family and other wealthy and prominent families.
"Mr. Lin, why don't you speak? Is my question inappropriate..."
Zhao Rong said a little embarrassed, and the expression on her face became a little embarrassed.
Lin Xiao smiled, and then replied: "No, your question is not inappropriate, but it reminds me of many past events... Our Dragon Kingdom is now peaceful and peaceful, but many ordinary people at the bottom of society are still in a difficult situation.
Among those in poverty, especially orphans without parental care. As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I think capable people like us should contribute to society and help these homeless children.
.”
As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, Zhao Rong's beautiful eyes in front of her shone slightly.

Liu Shiqi, who was next to her, was also infected. She was very excited and her pretty face turned red.
"Mr. Lin, it would be great if all of us business tycoons in southern Beijing could be as caring and compassionate as you."
Zhao Rong sighed with emotion, her eyes always looking at Lin Xiao, as if she wanted to imprint his figure in her mind.
Someone suddenly called Zhao Rong from a distance, so she said with some reluctance: "I'm sorry, someone called me. I'm going over there first. I'll come over to chat with you two later."
"Well, you go and do your work, Miss Zhao."
Lin Xiao waved his hand.
Looking at Zhao Rong's graceful back fading away, Lin Xiao felt that this woman was really good.
Although she is the daughter of Zhao Guangwei, the top leader of the yamen, and was born into a family of officials since she was a child, she has not been tainted with any bureaucratic atmosphere, but gives people a refreshing and pure feeling.
Such women are becoming increasingly rare nowadays.
"Looking at it, everyone has gone away."
Liu Shiqi said a little jealously.
Lin Xiao looked away, then raised his hand and rubbed Liu Shiqi's head hard twice, making her neatly combed hair a little messy.
"Don't make fun of me, I find that you are really getting smaller and smaller now."
Lin Xiao joked.
But Liu Shiqi reminded: "I just want to say that Sister Qin is still waiting for you in Jiangcheng, so don't worry about it."
"Am I that kind of person?"
Lin Xiao smiled bitterly.
He just mentioned something about Qin Wanqiu to Liu Shiqi.
Unexpectedly, this little girl kept talking about it.
Liu Shiqi smiled, looking very quirky.
At this time, Liu Shiqi's stomach suddenly growled, and the sound was extremely loud. Lin Xiao, who was standing next to her, heard it clearly.
Liu Shiqi's face suddenly turned red. She quickly covered her stomach with her hands and pretended that nothing had happened.
"Are you hungry?"
Lin Xiao asked with a smile.
Liu Shiqi shook her head and said with a blushing face: "I'm not hungry, and I'm not a foodie. How can I get hungry so easily?"
"Stop being so brave, let's go, I'll take you to eat."
After saying that, Lin Xiao took Liu Shiqi's hand and led her to a long table with hundreds of delicacies.
The long dining table is more than twenty meters long in total. Plates are neatly placed on the dining table. The plates contain a variety of delicacies, and there is also a full bottle of red wine on the table.
The bright red wine reflects the crystal clear goblet, exuding a strong high-end atmosphere.
There were so many delicious foods that Liu Shiqi had never seen before, let alone eaten them.
"There are so many dishes, how can we finish them all?"
Liu Shiqi said in surprise, her little mouth opened wide.
Lin Xiao looked around and saw that most of the guests in the banquet hall were holding a glass of red wine and socializing leisurely. Very few people came here to enjoy the food.
From the looks of it, most of these delicacies will probably be left over and then thrown away as trash.
This is such a waste.
While on the battlefield, Lin Xiao and his other comrades often ran out of food due to wars and suffered from hunger from time to time. Moreover, they had to fight the enemy in a hungry state.
Therefore, he hates wasting food and dislikes such extravagant and wasteful banquets.
Frowning, Lin Xiao turned to Liu Shiqi and said, "You can eat whatever you want. Anyway, these things will be left over in the end and you won't be able to finish them all."
After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Liu Shiqi nodded happily.
Afterwards, Liu Shiqi picked up a clean dinner plate and excitedly picked up the food on the plate with tongs in her hand.
Lin Xiao saw Liu Shiqi in a hurry, so he helped her. After a while, Liu Shiqi had several plates full of delicacies placed in front of her.
There are so many delicacies that Liu Shiqi is almost drooling just looking at them.
"Eat, why are you standing still?"
Lin Xiao said funny and handed a pair of chopsticks to Liu Shiqi's hands.
After the little girl hummed heavily, she picked up a piece of unknown meat and stuffed it into her mouth. Then she cheered: "It's delicious! Brother, eat it too!"
Liu Shiqi's cheers were not very loud, but they attracted several looks.
Several guests who were relatively close to each other and dressed very distinguishedly stopped talking and turned their heads to look at Lin Xiao and Liu Shiqi one by one.
Seeing Liu Shiqi grabbing chopsticks and eating happily, these men and women all had very unhappy expressions on their faces.
"Where did this country bumpkin come from? He has no rules at all!"
A middle-aged woman in a rose-colored dress said harshly.
The man next to her chuckled twice, and then echoed: "Who knows, maybe he comes from some mountainous area. It seems that the security guard of the Maillon Hotel is a little slack, and he actually eats and drinks like this.
Everyone was let in."
"How about calling the security guards and driving them out?"
Another person said, with a look of watching a good show on his face.
But someone quickly retorted: "What if these two people are the younger generation of a certain big family?"
"Look at how they are dressed, they look like beggars. How can they be from a big family? If they are the heirs of a wealthy family, I will rip off their heads and use them as chamber pots!"
A young man who looked very handsome said very arrogantly.
