Chapter 38

After going through the cumbersome related procedures, Xiao Mei didn’t go back to the colony with them but got admitted in the orphanage right then and there.

After they both got in the car, Su Meng looked out the window, and watched the orphanage get smaller behind her, with a worried look. Ling Yucheng turned on the soothing music, and comforted her, “Don’t worry. Although the dean of this orphanage is a little snobbery, he is not bad to the children. Moreover, this orphanage has a good reputation and no major problems.”

Su Meng was a little surprised that Ling Yucheng actually guessed her mind. 

Was her worry so obvious on her face?

“That’s good.” She said in a low voice.

When they arrived at the door of Ling’s house, Su Meng was a little surprised to see a figure dangling by the door. Ling Yucheng also saw him, and asked, “He came to meet you?”

Su Meng bit her lower lip, “It should be.”

“Then you can get out of the car, I’ll go park.”

“Okay.”

Su Meng got out of the car, and walked a few steps towards Jiang Tingzhou. Jiang Tingzhou just took out his cell phone to check the time. As he heard the footsteps, he raised his head and glanced casually at her. After seeing Su Meng, he put the phone back in his pocket and said, “Where have you been?”

Su Meng chose to tell the truth, “I went to the bookstore first, and then… sent Xiao Mei to the orphanage.”

Jiang Tingzhou frowned, “Xiao Mei has gone to the orphanage?”

Su Meng hummed. Jiang Tingzhou just wanted to ask who went with her. He was holding a bag in his hand, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. Su Meng asked, “What did you buy?”

He and Xiao Zhan went out for lunch that day. When he saw the ‘Fragrant Chicken’ on the menu, Su Meng’s name suddenly appeared in his mind inexplicably. She always said that he was “savage and weird” and “dirty beast”, and she was fragrant and sweet.

Su Meng was fragrant, even more delicious than that ‘fragrant chicken’ dish.

So after the meal, under the strange gazes of Xiao Zhan, he parceled a piece of fragrant chicken to let her taste it. Jiang Tingzhou handed the fragrant chicken to Su Meng and explained, “This is the signature dish of the hotel, Celestial event, ‘Fragrant Chicken’. I brought it for you to eat.”

Su Meng was a little surprised, “Thank you.”

Ling Yucheng parked the car and walked towards them. When passed by Su Meng, he deliberately stopped for a while, lowered his head and asked her, “Will you come in together?”

Su Meng shook his head, “You can go in, Uncle.”

Ling Yucheng was noncommittal. After taking a look at Jiang Tingzhou, he entered the room. Jiang Tingzhou narrowed his eyes. A little unhappiness flashed in his heart, “He was Ling Yucheng?”

Jiang Tingzhou and Ling Yucheng weren’t familiar with each other. Although they had heard each other’s name countless times, it was the first time they met.

“Yes.”

Jiang Tingzhou gritted his teeth. “He was the one who accompanied you to send Xiao Mei to the orphanage?”

Jiang Tingzhou’s tone was a little different than usual. Su Meng was a little baffled for a while, “Yes.”

“Why didn’t you call me too?”

Su Meng pursed her lips. Xiao Mei going to the orphanage had nothing to do with Jiang Tingzhou. Ling Yucheng intervened in that matter because he was entrusted by Mr. Ling.

It would hurt him if she said that directly, not to mention Jiang Tingzhou helped her so much before.

Su Meng casually found an excuse and said softly, “Because…I didn’t know how to contact you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Tingzhou stretched out his hand towards Su Meng, “Phone.”

“What are you doing?”

“Give me.”

“Don’t you own a cell phone?”

“Let me use yours. Kid be obedient.”

Su Meng suspiciously unlocked the phone and handed it to Jiang Tingzhou. He opened the address book and quickly entered his mobile phone number. Then, in the surname column, he noted himself as “Jiang”.

After doing all that, Jiang Tingzhou returned the phone to Su Meng and exhorted, “If you have any issue in the future, remember to tell me as soon as possible.”

She didn’t know what to say.

“Also, when will Ling Yucheng leave?”

Krish: Sorry for the delay!
