Chapter 395: Go Adopt a Baby
Chapter 395: Go Adopt a Baby
"Sui Sui, what are you thinking about?"
Gu Xunjing's words finally pulled Jiang Qianhui out of her daze.
She hurriedly signed the document, only to find that she had signed it in the wrong place.
They were the clients, but they signed the papers on behalf of the contractors.
"I... made a mistake."
Jiang Qianhui felt ashamed. She was usually decisive and efficient, but now she had made such a basic mistake. Gu Xunjing comforted her gently.
"It's okay, I'll just print it again. But you've seemed so distracted these past few days, what's on your mind?"
"I……"
Jiang Qianhui wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know where to begin.
At this moment, Gu Xunjing touched Jiang Qianhui's face with both hands and said, "Suihui, are you thinking about that little baby in the orphanage?"
If Jiang Qianhui hadn't died unexpectedly, that baby would probably be about the same age as her child.
Jiang Qianhui lowered her eyelashes and said, "I don't know why, but I keep thinking about that child after I came back."
"Me too. When I think about how that little baby looked at your outstretched hand and had that stubborn and resilient look in his eyes when we left, I felt so bad."
Jiang Qianhui looked at Gu Xunjing. When she left, the baby reached out to her.
“You left in a hurry back then, I know you didn’t want to cause pain to others. Actually, you really wanted to adopt that child, but you were afraid you couldn’t help but run away. In fact, you didn’t know that when you left, the child looked at you, clearly wanting to cry but holding back tears, it was really heartbreaking, as if he knew he had been abandoned.”
Gu Xunjing's words were so poignant.
Jiang Qianhui now regrets it. Since she came back, all she can think about is that child's smiling eyes and the words she vaguely heard.
Beautiful Mommy, here's a sticker.
"After she is adopted, her adoptive parents should treat her very well. The caregiver said they are a couple who have been unable to have children for many years, so they should treat her as their own daughter, right?"
Jiang Qianhui seemed to be asking a question, but at the same time, she seemed to be convincing herself to let go of that child.
In her previous life, after marrying Zhan Yanxun, she was humiliated by Xie Qingyi for two years because she couldn't have children.
She understood the tragedy of women who couldn't have children, and how could she possibly snatch someone else's child who was going through the adoption process?
Instead of coaxing her as usual, Gu Xunjing said, "It's hard to say what people's hearts are like. Maybe they'll mistreat her after we adopt her."
Gu Xunjing's words caused Jiang Qianhui's eyes to widen involuntarily.
She looked at Gu Xunjing with fear and unease. Could such a lovely child be abused?
"No, this is unacceptable!"
Jiang Qianhui was furious. Although she knew that Gu Xunjing's statement was just a hypothesis, the thought that the child might not be doing well made her feel like she was tearing her own flesh out.
At this moment, Gu Xunjing gently comforted her: "Sui Sui, don't get agitated. I was just hypothesizing. Do you really want to adopt that child?"
Jiang Qianhui said with a forlorn look in her eyes, "But that child has already been adopted."
At this point, Jiang Qianhui regretted that they hadn't gone there sooner.
At this moment, Gu Xunjing grasped Jiang Qianhui's hand and said, "Let's go to the orphanage again. I've already found out that the couple who want to adopt the baby will also be going to the orphanage today."
"What can we do? Force them to give up?"
Jiang Qianhui was in pain and conflicted.
These past two days, she's been preoccupied with that child, and she even saw a psychologist about it. The psychologist said that she suffered from depression because her own child died, which caused her auditory hallucinations and a subconscious tendency to mistake other children for her deceased child. The psychologist prescribed her medication.
However, she still couldn't stop thinking about that child.
Gu Xunjing noticed Jiang Qianhui's anxiety. He took her hand and said, "I've found out about that couple. They can't have children because the woman has a uterine disease. It's quite serious, but it's treatable."
However, the treatment was too expensive for them to afford, so they chose to adopt a child.
We'll talk to them today. We'll cover all their treatment costs until they become pregnant with their own child, and then we'll ask them to give up adopting the baby and let us adopt it instead, okay?
Hearing Gu Xunjing's words, Jiang Qianhui's hope was rekindled. She hadn't expected Gu Xunjing to care about her so much.
Even though she didn't say anything, he knew what she wanted.
Jiang Qianhui asked excitedly, "Gu Xunjing, are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, I've found out. Let's go talk to them now and work together to get the baby back."
Since her child's death, Jiang Qianhui has not shown such a happy smile.
She hugged Gu Xunjing tightly and said excitedly, "Gu Xunjing, thank you."
"No need to thank me, you are the person I love most. It's only right that I do anything for you."
Listening to Gu Xunjing's words, Jiang Qianhui suddenly burst into tears. She felt very at ease and happy.
……
orphanage.
When Gu Xunjing and Jiang Qianhui arrived at the orphanage, they found a couple holding a baby, who was resisting strongly.
Liao Mei, a simply dressed woman, held the baby and said, "Little baby, don't cry. The adoption procedures will be completed soon, and we will be able to take you home. You will then have a mom and dad."
[An abusive father, a feudalistic mother, and a broken heart. I won't go to a family like that! Wow!]
Liao Mei: "Why is the child crying even more when I try to comfort him?"
[How could the baby not cry when going through such a difficult experience in a family? The baby is small, not stupid!]
Liao Mei held the baby and kept trying to soothe her, while her husband's expression was clearly unpleasant. He said with disdain, "Crying, crying, so noisy. What is this thing? Why is it crying so much?"
You're the one who's a scoundrel! Your whole family are scoundrels!
Liao Mei: "The child is still young and shy around strangers, so he will definitely cry. We'll take care of him from now on."
The man, Wang Jun, with a fiery temper, said, "How can you raise a child properly if it's not your own? It's all your fault for being unable to lay an egg after so many years of marriage, forcing me to adopt a child."
Liao Mei said guiltily, "It's my fault, but this child is so young and perfect for adoption. We looked for so many before, but none of them were suitable. This one is beautiful and just born, so it's the best."
Wang Jun flew into a rage, shouting, "Good my ass! I regret it so much! I regret marrying a barren hen like you. If I don't hurry up and take a child back home, the whole village will be laughing at me. I must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck to marry a woman like you who can't have children."
Wang Jun successfully aroused the baby's physiological nausea. If the baby were still small, he would have taken action directly!
[Uncle, even without a mirror, you'll still need to pee. With your shabby situation, what are you going to pass on the family line to? Pots and pans? Car loan? Mortgage?]
