Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

People standing outside can occasionally hear laughter coming from inside the orphanage.

Hearing the laughter that occasionally drifted from the orphanage, Andy finally smiled a little.

If life in an orphanage is too dull, these children will never be able to laugh.

The fact that there was so much laughter meant that life inside was much better than she had expected.

Andy held Lin Yi's hand and recounted what had happened back then.

Andy said, "When my mother passed away, Xiaoming and I were both very young and were raised in the local orphanage."

At that time, an overseas Chinese man saw that I was quite smart and adopted me.

When I arrived in the foreign country, I studied hard and worked hard to earn money, hoping to bring Xiaoming over as soon as possible.

But when I had the ability to support Xiaoming, I couldn't find him anywhere.

For so many years, I have been looking for Xiaoming.

Lin Yi, I... I'm really afraid something might happen to Xiao Ming, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Andy's face was already streaked with tears.

Lin Yi held Andy's hand and comforted her, "Now that the person has been found, Xiaoming is living a good life. The person in charge of finding him told me that the director of this orphanage is the same director who raised you. She treated Xiaoming very well."

"Ah."

As the two were talking, a cute little person suddenly appeared from inside the orphanage.

"Brother and sister, you are both so beautiful."

Lin Yi took out a handful of candy from his pocket and gave it to the little girl in front of him.

The little girl stood far away, too afraid to take it.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "You're cute too, little one. Is your dean here?"

"Yes, Grandma Dean just returned. Let me take you to see her."

"it is good."

Lin Yi patted Andy's hand and said, "Don't worry."

"Ah."

Led by the children, Lin Yi met the dean.

When the dean learned of Andy's identity, she was overjoyed. She never expected that Xiaoming had an older sister living in the world.

"I'll take you to see Xiaoming," the dean said.

The dean led Andy and Lin Yi to find Xiaoming.

Judging from his clothes and his mental state, he seems to be living a pretty good life.

Xiao Ming was quiet and didn't say anything; he just played there by himself...

"Xiao Ming"

Andy called softly.

The boy in front of her, who seemed to have a problem, was the younger brother she had been searching for.

The boy in front of him was no longer the little boy Andy remembered; he had grown into a young man.

However, you can still see some resemblance to his childhood self in his features.

The clothes he was wearing looked ordinary, but they were clean and tidy.

Looking at the flesh on his face, it's clear that Xiaoming's daily life is quite comfortable.

Xiao Ming is not good at talking to people. He kept his head down, counting and doing what he liked.

When Andy saw Xiaoming inside, she couldn't hold back anymore, and tears streamed down her face.

Lin Yi held her hand tightly, trying to calm her down.

Andy stood outside and watched for a long time. Occasionally, Xiaoming would look up, and Andy would be very happy.

However, Xiaoming maintained a normal expression throughout, without showing any joy.

Lin Yi pulled Andy aside and called the dean aside.

Lin Yi asked, "Hello Dean, what's Xiaoming's condition now?"

"According to the doctor's assessment, he has a slight mental illness. He is no different from a normal person in general, but we don't know when he will have an attack," the hospital director said.

"Has he always been like this?" Lin Yi asked.

"No, when Xiaoming was little, he looked perfectly normal."

Xiao Ming was adopted many years ago, but one day he suddenly fell ill. The person who adopted him knew that he had a mental illness, so they returned him.

"After I came back, Xiaoming has been living with me ever since," the dean said.

Before Lin Yi could ask any questions, Andy spoke again, "Dean, I am Xiaoming's older sister. Can I take Xiaoming with me to live?"

The dean looked at Andy, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I'm afraid that won't work."

"Why? Don't worry, Dean, I'll take good care of Xiaoming," Andy said.

The dean said, "It's not that I'm saying you'll treat him badly. You're Xiaoming's older sister, and I believe you'll treat him very well."

However, Xiaoming needs someone to accompany him. When he's not having an attack, it's fine, but once he does, he needs someone by his side at all times. Judging from your appearance, you definitely can't do that.

Besides, young people these days are so tired from work.

"I……"

Andy wanted to say something, but Lin Yi pulled her hand and said, "Andy, whether you can live with him or not is not important, as long as he is safe and sound."

"Lin Yi, what do you mean?"

Lin Yi nodded: "In Xiaoming's situation, it's obvious that he can't leave, let alone live with you, otherwise it would affect both of you."

“What should I do? I haven’t seen Xiaoming for so many years. I just want to live with him. I owe him so much. Back then, he was so young. I…” Andy said anxiously, her voice choked with emotion.

Lin Yi hugged Andy, gently patted her shoulder, and said, "You were quite young when you had that, and you couldn't support your younger brother at all."

Andy, don't worry, Xiaoming will understand.

"What about Xiaoming?" Andy asked.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "Judging from the current situation, the headmistress is taking very good care of Xiaoming."

I think it would be better if Xiaoming continued to live with the headmistress. You know where he is now. Whenever we want to test Xiaoming, we'll bring him over immediately.

How about this?

It wasn't that Lin Yi wouldn't let Andy take Xiaoming with her. You see, with his wealth, hiring a caregiver or spending some money on Xiaoming's medical treatment would be nothing to him.

The key point is that Xiaoming needs the company of someone he knows well in this state.

The person who knows Xiaoming best is the dean.

At least in this orphanage, Xiaoming will have a very easy time, and every now and then, other children will play with him.

But if Xiaoming goes to Shanghai, will he be able to cope with that oppressive atmosphere?

Lin Yi didn't think so.

Andy didn't say anything, but turned around and continued to look at his younger brother, Xiaoming.

Lin Yi looked at the dean and asked, "Dean, what do you think of what I just said?"

The dean nodded and said, "Xiao Ming has indeed gotten used to being with me. You young people don't have the patience to take care of him."

"But I'm getting old, not like I used to be, sigh."

Lin Yi said directly, "Auntie Dean, could you train two or three caregivers to help take care of Xiaoming?"

"That's possible. I'll find two patient children to take good care of Xiaoming," said the headmistress.

Lin Yi said, "This is five million, as a small token of my appreciation for this orphanage."

As for the caregiver who takes care of Xiaoming, he is paid 10,000 yuan a month.

The headmistress is a kind person, I wholeheartedly agree. My sister and I also visit Xiaoming from time to time.

"This……"

Upon hearing that the caregiver would receive a monthly salary and that he would also donate five million yuan, the director hesitated for a moment, his eyes welling up with tears.

The dean said, "If it were up to me, I could be aloof and proud, and I wouldn't take your money. It wouldn't cost me much anyway."

However, the orphanage is such a large place with so many children, and money is indeed needed in every aspect.

This money is a real lifesaver for the orphanage, so I won't refuse it.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Auntie Dean, you're too kind. It's only right that we contribute to charity."

This five million is just the beginning. From now on, I will donate money periodically.

"Thank you, thank you so much..."

The dean was surprised that the neatly dressed young man in front of him was so rich.

The way he talks about millions is like he's talking about hundreds of dollars.

Lin Yi said, "Auntie Dean, this is my contact information. If there's anything I can help you with, as long as it's not excessive, I'm happy to do so."

"Okay, okay." The dean quickly took the contact information.

She knew very well that the young man in front of her was so rich that she might need his help at any time.

Lin Yi also believed that with these worldly things, the dean would take good care of Xiaoming.

Besides, Xiaoming doesn't need to be taken care of; he usually plays by himself.

Andy stood outside and watched Xiaoming for three hours straight.

Looking at his quiet younger brother, Andy couldn't help but smile happily.

Andy didn't look away from Xiaoming until lunchtime.
