CHAPTER 60: CHAPTER 60: UTTERLY INSANE

She couldn’t understand why Zhuang Shuqing, also a newcomer, received so much better treatment than her.

Doesn’t she have a child? Why did the news report last time have no impact on her life at all?

Could it be that her husband doesn’t care at all?

Lin Xiaoxiao became even more puzzled. According to her intuition, she felt Zhuang Shuqing was not simple at all.

Yet Zhuang Shuqing, sitting beside her, did not entertain so many thoughts and was focused on writing her article.

Once the article was finished, Zhuang Shuqing sent it to her manager via email and waited a few minutes before entering the manager’s office.

As soon as Manager Chen saw her, he gestured eagerly: "Xiao Zhuang, look here, you’d better add when he came to the orphanage, and don’t specify what marks he has on him, so as to avoid someone claiming him because of seeing the money. Also, take a few pictures of his current condition to post."

Zhuang Shuqing’s eyes lit up, "The editor-in-chief really thinks things through, I truly can’t thank you enough."

Manager Chen smiled slightly, "You’re welcome. Go prepare this afternoon and try to raise the funds as quickly as possible."

"Okay, I will." She turned and left.

"Wait, may I ask who he is to you?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhuang Shuqing said, "He’s from the same orphanage as I am."

"Alright, I’ve got it, you go ahead with your work."

As soon as Zhuang Shuqing left, she dialed an internal line, "President Gu..."

Afternoon

Zhuang Shuqing arrived at the hospital, where Xiao Xuan was asleep. Seeing his complexion growing worse by the day, her heart ached.

After sitting for quite a while, she took out her phone and snapped a photo of the sleeping Xiao Xuan. Seeing that he had not woken up yet, she went to find his attending physician to get an update on his condition.

Learning that Xiao Xuan could undergo surgery tomorrow, her mood lifted enormously.

Zhuang Shuqing specially called Dean Hua to tell her the good news. However, Dean Hua insisted on returning the money, saying someone recently had come to do charity work and donated five hundred thousand to the orphanage.

Unable to refuse, she agreed, thinking she would find an excuse to donate it back to the orphanage later.

Back in the ward with Xiao Xuan still asleep, she decided to sit by the bed and refresh the news on her phone. However, the moment she saw the afternoon’s updated news, her joyful face instantly fell.

The money for the orphanage turned out to be donated by Tan Biyang!

After the previous news exposure, Tan Biyang had disappeared for days, neither issuing a statement nor holding a press conference.

But she did not expect her to reappear in the public eye in such a manner!

After realizing the intricate connections, Zhuang Shuqing was livid. That woman was truly sick in the head, exploiting the orphanage for her own schemes!

Glancing at the still-unconscious Xiao Xuan on the bed, Zhuang Shuqing informed the adult in the neighboring bed, grabbed her bag, and left the hospital.

If the money Dean Hua mentioned was really from Tan Biyang, she needed to confirm whether it had indeed been deposited.

As far as she knew, Tan Biyang hadn’t taken on any work for a long time, and with her spendthrift ways, it was almost impossible for her to generously donate half a million.

Upon hearing this, Dean Hua immediately took the cheque and accompanied Zhuang Shuqing to the bank. At the counter, they found that the donation had not been deposited. At Zhuang Shuqing’s insistence, the staff verified the facts.

It turned out that the donation was set with a delayed deposit. In a given timeframe, the donor had found a reason to reclaim the funds.

After learning the truth, Dean Hua was distraught. She said bitterly, "I should have realized her motives earlier! At the orphanage, while she was playing with the children, she even had the photographer take pictures from different angles. I never thought that woman could be so heartless and exploit the children like this."
