After the two children fell asleep, Director Wang shut the door and walked out quietly. Her heart ached for An’an, and she really liked these two very well-behaved children, so she was determined to take good care of them.
Around the corner.
A sneaky figure was about to leave.
Director Wang called out to her. “Song Li, you’re still around!” She walked over angrily. Ever since she found out that Song Li had stolen from her, she had asked the employee to leave the orphanage, but she was still around.
Song Li started crying. “Director, I was wrong. I must have been possessed to do such a thing. You know that I’ve worked here for so many years and don’t have much savings. I’m just worried that no one will take care of me when I’m old. I’m not an evil person.”
“You have a pension, although it’s not enough.” Director Wang doubted her.
What she did this time was downright disappointing. She had thought that Song Li was like herself, dedicated to loving these children, but it turned out that it wasn’t the case. Somewhere along the way, she had been enticed by money.
“How can that bit of money be enough? Everything’s so expensive now, the money won’t last a few years. That’s why I did something so stupid. But I was really wrong about this. Please don’t get rid of me. I have nowhere to go if I were to leave this place. This is my home!”
Director Wang’s heart skipped a beat at the mention of the word ‘home’. She thought of the hardships and ups and downs in the orphanage over the years. After all, Song Li had been here for more than 20 years. This was really her home. She didn’t have any relatives. Other than this place, she had nowhere to go. Looking at her pitiful expression, her heart softened.
“Sigh.” She shook her head. “Alright, you may stay, but you are not to contact the Li family in the future. They’re not good people! Do you understand?”
She couldn’t explain to her about An’an’s matter. This concerned An’an’s innocence and the children. Whatever it was, they had to stop all contact with the Li family, in case they used vicious methods again.
Song Li hurriedly nodded. “I understand. This time, I’ve seen through Liu Luhua’s character. I won’t have anything to do with her. Don’t worry. If I do this again, you can get rid of me and bar me from ever returning to the orphanage.” This time, not only did she not gain anything, she was almost hit by a car. She also hated Liu Luhua, for the way that the woman had spoken to her.
Seeing that she had repented, Director Wang stopped berating her. “But you did something wrong and have to be punished. In the future, you’ll be responsible for cleaning the place, someone else will take over your job! Perform your tasks diligently.”
Song Li was unhappy. Previously, she had an easy job. Just because of a small mistake, she was now relegated to a cleaning job. However, she couldn’t complain now. At least she had a place to stay and that was good enough. “Alright, I’ll do the cleaning. When you think I’m doing well, let me return to my original job.”
Director Wang walked forward helplessly, and Song Li followed her.
“Director, who are those two children? Are they new? How is it that I don’t know about them? Why aren’t there any admission forms? Why are they sleeping in your room? Why are they so special?”
Director Wang was stone-faced. “You don’t have to worry about this! In the future, you just need to focus on cleaning. I’ll send someone to check.”
Song Li was displeased. She had seen the two children and they looked like the ones who had taken her jade pendant. Why have they come to the orphanage? Which one of them had taken the jade pendant? Was the jade pendant still with them? Did the director bring them here to test her? Or could it be that what had happened was all a test because the director didn’t trust her? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became!
