Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

"Correct!"

"The dean is right!"

After the director finished speaking, the other mothers in the orphanage also stood up and firmly expressed their stance.

After they finished speaking, some of the people standing below the stage immediately applauded and cheered.

Someone shouted, "We must not let others look down on us orphans!"

“We orphans have dignity too!” someone else chimed in. “Give them all back! We don’t want their things!”

More and more people started shouting.

Shi Xiaxia turned her head and looked over, and found that many of the faces looked familiar. They were all orphans who had grown up with the original owner.

......

"What does the Mu family mean?! Are they trying to slap us in the face?!" Shen Shujie's father, Shen Rong, stood up angrily, glaring at Qiao Zihao.

"Sit down quickly!"

Huang Ruxuan quickly pulled Shen Rong down: "It's already ugly enough, do you want to add fuel to the fire?!"

"They've gone too far!"

Shen Rong shouted angrily, "How many concessions has our Shen family already made?! And they're still not satisfied! They're just using this as an excuse to blackmail our Shen family!"

"Alright! Keep your voice down!"

Huang Ruxuan slapped Shen Rong: "Right now, our Shen family is in the wrong, and Shi Xiaxia is the victim. If they add fuel to the fire and say something else, the Shen family will never be able to hold their heads up again!"

The Shen family is now being targeted by the Lu family and taken advantage of by other powerful families because of Shen Qingqing. If they don't handle Shi Xiaxia's situation properly, the Shen family will be finished!

Shen Rong was also aware of the seriousness of the problem, because no matter how angry he was, he could only sit down unwillingly.

After listening to Qiao Zihao and the dean's words, Shi Fanghai and Shen Fuxi understood that Shi Xiaxia did not want to accept the Shen family's compensation.

So he immediately stated: "We will donate all this money to the dean free of charge, so that the dean can use it as he sees fit."

"Need not!"

The dean, displaying remarkable backbone, directly refused: "Your Shen family has prevented Xiaxia from even attending school! I dare not accept your money!"

When the topic of Xiaxia's schooling came up, the dean and the other mothers were heartbroken and burst into tears, saying, "Xiaxia has the best grades! She has a good chance of getting into Peking University!"

But now... he hasn't even graduated high school...

"That...that wasn't done by us..." Shen Yi hurriedly tried to explain.

"Pah! Don't make me feel ashamed for you!"

The dean glared directly at Shen Yi, fearlessly saying, "Your Shen family knows in your hearts how many things you've done. Even if you find a scapegoat, you can't cover up the truth!"

A considerable number of people attended the press conference, and after the dean finished speaking, the others echoed, "No forgiveness! No forgiveness!..."

Each shout was louder than the last, turning the Shen family members pale.

"Xia Xia..."

Seeing Shi Xiaxia and Qiao Zihao helping the dean leave, Shen Yi took a few steps forward and pleaded.

But Shi Xiaxia and the others seemed not to hear her at all; no one responded or turned around to look at her.

“Xiaxia…” Shen Yi cried uncontrollably, knowing that she had completely lost her daughter.

She wanted to burst into tears, but it felt like her heart was blocked, and she could barely cry anymore.

For a moment, Shen Yi felt a splitting headache, as if her whole body was being torn apart.

"mom!"

"Wife!"

Shen Fuxi and Shi Fanghai noticed Shen Yi swaying precariously and quickly stepped forward to support her.

"Call an ambulance! Call an ambulance now!" Shen Fuxi shouted to the Shen family members behind him.

Shi Xiaxia and the others ignored the commotion behind them. They walked down from the stage and stood with the other orphans who had grown up with the original owner, talking together.

They are now scattered all over the country, and many of them have started families. However, they have reunited after a long time because of Shi Xiaxia's situation.

They chatted for a few minutes before starting to talk about Lingbao Orphanage.

Although Xiaxia left, the Lingbao Orphanage was still affected and was not well received by the locals.

For many years, the Lingbao Orphanage has had no income, and the children inside have been living in poverty.

Now that the Mu family is going to donate money to them, after helping Shi Xiaxia repay the Shen family's money, they will definitely have a lot left over.

We can renovate the orphanage and buy some food and clothes for the children.

After the director explained the purpose of the money, everyone started talking about their connections and what they could do for the orphanage.

"Shi Xiaxia!"

While everyone was having a lively discussion, Shi Xiaxia, who was listening to the conversation, suddenly heard someone call her name and instinctively turned her head to look.

Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed entirely in black, with her face completely covered, walked towards her.

Shi Xiaxia was stunned for a moment. She didn't recognize who it was, but the person was wrapped up so tightly and walked in a way that was obviously suspicious.

She immediately stopped smiling and became wary.

"Why don't you just die! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

The woman shouted in a hoarse voice, then rushed towards Shi Xiaxia, holding a bottle in her hand.

Shi Xiaxia realized something and immediately raised her foot to kick the strange woman.

"Ah!" The woman was kicked over by Shi Xiaxia, and most of the solution in the bottle spilled onto her.

"Ahhh—" The woman screamed loudly, covering her face in pain and rolling on the ground.

The sound of corrosion and the pungent smell of acid wafted out, and some people who were still unaware of what was happening immediately took a few steps back in alarm.

"It's concentrated sulfuric acid!" someone shouted.

The elderly director had already realized what was happening. She immediately went to the front and shielded the children, who were now taller than her, behind her.

Soon after, the security guards, realizing there was a problem, rushed over with their tools and surrounded the strange woman.

"Xiaxia, how are you?!" The dean looked at Shi Xiaxia as soon as the crisis was over.

The person who had just been standing closest to Shi Xiaxia was the one she had knocked down. The dean was anxiously examining her, worried that she might be hurt.

"I'm fine." Shi Xiaxia smiled and turned around in front of the dean to indicate that she was not injured.

"That's good...that's good..."

The dean then looked at the others and asked them one by one.

"Dean Mom..." Everyone noticed the dean's actions, and the sentimental ones had already held back their tears.

"Xia Xia..."

Qiao Zihao leaned closer to Xiaxia, his face full of worry: "Xiaxia, should we..."
