Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Yin Ruxue’s Decision

"I was just checking on the kids. What is it? Do you need something?"

"Okay."

Ruxue didn’t give a straight answer. She just acknowledged him before turning and walking toward the playground.

"???"

Jiang Fan was baffled.

’What’s going on with her??’

Puzzled, Jiang Fan followed her until they found the director. "Grandma, Xue is looking for you."

Jiang Fan called out affectionately.

"Oh? What is it?"

The director put down Peng and walked over to them.

"Grandma, I needed to talk to you about something."

Yin Ruxue pulled the director aside and took a bank card from her pocket. "Grandma, there’s a million yuan on this card. Please, take it."

"Use it to get the children better food and buy them some new clothes and shoes."

"I can’t, dear. I can’t take your money."

"The orphanage has enough funds for now. And while the children’s clothes are a little old, they’re still perfectly wearable."

The director was taken aback and quickly tried to push the bank card back, explaining as she did.

"Grandma, this really is a small amount of money for me. I don’t have any ulterior motives or special requests. I just want the children at the orphanage to have a better life."

"At the very least, it could make their difficult childhoods a little bit brighter."

As she spoke, Yin Ruxue’s gaze fell upon Jiang Fan.

"Grandma, just accept it. It’s a heartfelt gesture from her."

He appeared calm and collected on the surface, but inwardly, Jiang Fan was touched.

’It felt like she’d said those words specifically for him.’

"This... This really isn’t right."

The director was still hesitating.

After all, the young woman had just come to visit the children, and the director had hardly been a proper host, yet here she was, pulling out a million yuan to donate.

"Grandma, this is just for now. I’ll be donating a million every quarter from now on."

"This is Fan’s wish, too."

"The two of us are family now, and he wants to help the orphanage."

"You know what he’s like. If you don’t agree, I’m afraid his conscience will bother him so much he won’t be able to sleep."

Seeing the director was still about to refuse, Yin Ruxue’s eyes darted, and she quickly added this.

"Sigh... all right. Since you put it that way, I’ll accept. But a million every quarter is too much."

"Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know."

"If you don’t agree to that, then I won’t accept this either."

Seeing the director’s firm stance, Yin Ruxue had no choice but to nod for now. However, she had no intention of changing her mind.

"Oh, by the way, Grandma, I have a friend who owns an amusement park. I noticed the children have never been to one, and I was wondering if I could take them for a visit?"

"It would all be free of charge."

"What? An amusement park? But wouldn’t that be a huge imposition? We have so many children, after all."

Having raised so many children, the director naturally understood the immense impact a happy and complete childhood could have on a person’s life.

If given the chance, she would love for the orphanage’s children to go out and play, to experience the joys that ordinary children take for granted.

"Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged everything. A dedicated bus will come to pick everyone up."

The moment Yin Ruxue finished speaking, Jiang Fan chimed in, "Grandma, I think this is a great opportunity. We should let them go have some fun."

"Alright, let’s do it then. Xue, thank you so much for this. And for going to all this expense."

Now that the decision was made, the director didn’t stand on ceremony any longer.

She gathered all the children and announced the trip. A bus arrived amidst a storm of delighted cheers and gasps.

This was the first time Jiang Fan truly witnessed Yin Ruxue’s organizational skills. She had thought of absolutely everything, down to the last detail.

There were snacks and water on the bus, dedicated staff waiting at the park, and she even arranged for children who wanted to go on the same rides to be grouped together.

Everything was perfectly organized, without a hint of chaos. While the children were remarkably well-behaved, the smoothness of the operation was mainly thanks to Yin Ruxue, who had considered every single detail.

Even teachers responsible for just one or two classes often find themselves scrambling during school field trips.

But not this time.

"Auntie Xue, I want to ride the carousel!"

"Auntie Xue, I want to play Whac-A-Mole!"

"Me too, me too! I want to ride the bumper cars!"

"What about me? Can I go to the shooting gallery? I want to defend our country when I grow up!"

...

They spent the entire afternoon at the park, going on every single ride they could.

During the trip, Yin Ruxue had even hired a professional photographer to capture all the happy moments.

By the time they were on the bus heading back, the photos had already been printed.

"I really can’t thank you enough for this."

Jiang Fan stretched and said with heartfelt gratitude.

If it hadn’t been for Yin Ruxue, never mind a trip to an amusement park—even a simple field trip would have been difficult to arrange.

"There’s nothing to thank me for. I wanted to do it."

"You should get a photo album for these later and put them all inside. They’ll be a part of the kids’ childhood memories."

"I’ve never paid attention to things like this before. I never considered that there were children living in such circumstances."

"Their bright eyes had a profound impact on me."

"It was a yearning for the future, a hope for a better tomorrow."
