"Oh." Hearing Lu Yuanchen's words, Su Xiaoxiao could only obediently shut his mouth and continue to carefully observe Lu Yuanchen's expression.
In Su Xiaoxiao's opinion, this was nothing at all, why would he need to be so angry? Lu Yuanchen was actually narrow-minded at times.
"Why do you have to be so humble?" Both of Lu Yuanchen's hands tightly gripped onto the steering wheel, the veins on his arms bulged, and his face was ashen.
Everyone had their dignity, Su Xiaoxiao actually begged him repeatedly for that little bit of money, regardless of how she looked. That scene deeply hurt him, why did she make herself look so petty? For a child's toy?
He did not understand her.
Hearing Lu Yuanchen's words, Su Xiaoxiao's heart trembled. She knew what Lu Yuanchen meant, but she was not him, he had his own way of survival.
Many times, she had no choice but to force herself to use even less money to do even more things. This was a feeling that a rich person like Lu Yuanchen would never be able to experience.
Although she was currently living with Lu Yuanchen, she was still her, a 'poor person' who only knew how to live a frugal life. This was a chasm that the two of them might never be able to bridge. If this was a crime in Lu Yuanchen's eyes, then she might never be worthy of him.
When Lu Yuanchen saw the sadness in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes, he knew that his words might have touched her nerves. Realizing that the words he had said just now were a little impulsive, a trace of apology flashed across Lu Yuanchen's eyes.
Even when the old man had been infuriated to the point of being hospitalized, he had never apologized. This was the first time Lu Yuanchen formally apologized to others.
Su Xiaoxiao looked up, retracting the tears in her eyes, her pink lips slightly opened, and her lips curled up into a stubborn smile, "It doesn't matter, I won't mind."
It wasn't that she didn't have self-esteem, but that this small amount of self-esteem wouldn't matter in front of the smiles of the children. Life was filled with choices. She would always give up some things for the sake of others. She had made a choice that she thought was worth it.
The two of them stopped talking. From the rearview mirror, they could see that not far behind them, a toy store truck was following them. The truck was filled with the latest children's toys.
Su Xiaoxiao said softly, "No matter what, I still have to thank you for buying so many toys for the orphanage. The children will definitely be very happy upon seeing them." If not for Lu Yuanchen, these children might not have seen so many toys in their entire lives.
Lu Yuanchen's expression also eased up, and his face was no longer tensed. Right now, he felt that compared to Su Xiaoxiao's love for him, these toys were cheap and insignificant.
When they arrived at the orphanage, Su Xiaoxiao's mood immediately improved a lot. He played games with the children and helped the old Principal wash the children's clothes.
The Principal brought Su Xiaoxiao and all the children to express their gratitude to him. Lu Yuanchen felt that compared to Su Xiaoxiao, he felt like he owed a debt of guilt, and his entire body felt uncomfortable.
The value of these toys couldn't even be considered a drop in the bucket for Lu's Group, but in the eyes of the orphanage, it was actually a huge donation.
On the way back, Su Xiaoxiao became excited again, as if he had completed a very meaningful matter, and went to Lu Yuanchen's side, "Boss Lu, you just told the Principal that you will be giving gifts to the orphanage in the future?"
"Yes."
"That... Can you... Directly donate money? "
