Urban drama: Starting from rejecting Fan Shengmei on a blind date

Chapter 173 Zhou Chen's reminder: Don't use money to test people's hearts

Andy calmed down after waking up. She also felt that her previous behavior was too impulsive.

She originally planned to take her brother away, but when she saw how frightened he was, she realized that her point of view was wrong from the beginning.

Zhou Chen was right. Compared to his brother, he was just a stranger. Of course, a stranger's unreasonable behavior would scare him.

Andy immediately got up and wanted to find her brother to apologize to him for her unreasonable behavior, but Zhou Chen stopped her directly.

The two stood on the balcony of the corridor, looking at Xiao Ming in the distance. They saw that he was sitting alone on the steps drawing. He looked completely different from the one who was greatly stimulated just now.

"Andy, you've been unconscious for two hours. During this time, I had some contact with Xiao Ming. His mental state is really not suitable for taking him away.

Through my observation, I found that Xiao Ming is a loner, doesn't like to interact with others, speaks very little, and always likes to find a place to sit down and paint alone.

He even lacks the ability to take care of himself. Eating and dressing are not a problem, but he has been out of touch with society for a long time and has become completely disconnected from it.

To put it bluntly, if you really take him to Shanghai, you will either lock him up at home or find him a new nursing home.

It would be better to let him live here. At least he has a dean he can trust. He might treat her like his mother. Only she can calm Xiao Ming's emotions.

Andy did not respond to Zhou Chen's words. She just looked at her brother in the distance quietly. She knew that Zhou Chen was right. She was completely unable to cope with the situation her brother was in just now.

After a long silence, he said, "I want to talk to the director. I want to donate 500,000 yuan to the nursing home. I want my brother to not suffer any injustice here."

After hearing this, Zhou Chen knew that Andy had given up on taking Xiao Ming away, which made Zhou Chen feel relieved.

Zhou Chen once again expressed his opposition to Andy's proposal to donate to the nursing home.

Seeing Andy's puzzled look, Zhou Chen explained: "Andy, I don't object to you giving me money, but I object to you giving me so much money at once. Five thousand yuan a month for living expenses is already a lot.

You have to know that in this small city, 500,000 yuan is not a small amount of money for some people. You are using money to test people's desires."

Andy frowned and asked, "You mean the dean will..."

Andy was interrupted by Zhou Chen before she could finish her words. Zhou Chen, who had watched the plot, of course knew that the dean was a good person. She really cared about Xiao Ming, and some of her words were hurtful.

"Andy, don't let your imagination run wild. The dean is a good person, but can you guarantee that other people don't have the same idea?

To give a simple example, the family that abandoned your brother only earns more than 4000 yuan a month based on the consumption level here.

Xiao Ming, who was abandoned by them, suddenly has a sister who supports him with so much money. Do you think they will be envious?

Will they try to get their hands on this money? Then they might take Xiao Ming home and try to get more money from you, which would be very troublesome."

Zhou Chen’s words are not groundless. Isn’t that what happens in the plot?

For money, the family even locked Xiao Ming in a pigsty. Zhou Chen didn't want such a troublesome thing to happen again, so he reminded Andy in advance as a precaution.

Andy was immediately furious when she heard this. She looked at Zhou Chen with an expression of disbelief and angrily scolded him, "How could they do this? They abandoned my brother, and now they want to make money. I'm lucky I didn't sue them."

Looking at Andy who was a little crazy, Zhou Chen reached out and patted her shoulder, signaling her to calm down.

Andy didn't react at this time, which was beyond Zhou Chen's expectations. You know, the last time he patted Andy's shoulder, she had a strong reaction because she had a resistance to close contact.

Does this mean that their relationship has become much closer, and Andy has begun to trust Zhou Chen from the bottom of her heart, and her resistance to Zhou Chen has also decreased a lot?

"Andy, I told you not to use money to test people's nature. If they can even abandon your brother, what else can they not do?

Maybe they still have the adoption materials in their hands, and you may not win the lawsuit at that time. It is also possible that they will make a lot of money from you by giving up the adoption. In the final analysis, you should not think too well of others.

As for what you said about wanting to talk to the dean, I'll handle it. You can try to contact Xiao Ming, but don't do anything extreme."

Andy looked at Zhou Chen and finally nodded. At this time, she chose to believe Zhou Chen.

"You're right. It's really great that I brought you along this time. I can't handle these things on my own. I was overthinking things."

Zhou Chen gave Andy a reassuring smile, and then the two of them went downstairs, one to find Xiao Ming and the other to find the dean.

Zhou Chen knocked on the door of the dean's office. Looking at the busy dean, Zhou Chen said, "Dean, Andy and I have discussed Xiao Ming's matter, and we have decided not to take him away for the time being.

I feel that the environment here is more suitable for him. Here you are taking good care of him. We are just strangers to Xiao Ming.

Of course, don't worry, we're not ignoring Xiao Ming. We'll come visit him often in the future, and once we get to know him better, it'll be natural for us to take him away."

Zhou Chen expressed his attitude on Andy's behalf. The dean was a little surprised, but she still agreed, "I'm very happy that you think so.

To be honest, I can understand Xiao Ming's sister's behavior just now, but I can't accept it because she really scared Xiao Ming.

If I let you take Xiao Ming away like this, I won't be at peace. Don't worry, Xiao Ming is living well with me, and I will take good care of him."

After hearing what the dean said, Zhou Chen immediately said, "Of course we still believe the dean. After all, in our eyes, you are like Xiao Ming's mother.

Here are 30,000 yuan as a token of Andy's appreciation for taking care of Xiao Ming. Andy will also give Xiao Ming living expenses when he comes to visit his brother in the future."

When the dean heard this, he quickly refused. In the end, he decided to open an account for Xiao Ming and keep the money in the bank. Only then did the dean accept it with peace of mind.

"Dean, I have a small request, I hope you can accept it."

Seeing Zhou Chen's expression change, the dean knew that Zhou Chen must have something important to say, and she immediately became serious.

"Dean, please don't spread the news that Andy is Xiao Ming's sister, and don't tell anyone about Andy giving Xiao Ming money. I'm afraid someone with ulterior motives will target Xiao Ming.

What I mean is that if the family who abandoned Xiao Ming knew this, they would definitely take Xiao Ming back and extort money from Andy. At that time, Xiao Ming's life would be completely disrupted. I believe this is not what you want to see.

Compared to the family that abandoned Xiao Ming, we prefer to trust you, Dean. I believe Xiao Ming will live a happier life if he stays with you."

Zhou Chen's words immediately changed the dean's expression, because she had not thought about these things, and it was indeed very possible when she thought about it.

As the director of a nursing home, she has seen too many unfilial children who will do anything for money.

On the other hand, if the family who abandoned Xiao Ming really got the news, they would definitely not remain indifferent.

"Mr. Zhou, thank you for your reminder. Don't worry, I will keep Andy's money a secret.

Although many people have seen what happened today, Andy, I will find an excuse to cover it up. As long as there is no profit, I believe they will not act rashly."

Zhou Chen felt relieved. He believed that the dean would handle it. If that family really came to cause trouble without knowing the situation, Zhou Chen wouldn't mind giving them a good beating.
