Chapter 303: Chapter 303: The Orphanage After the School Opening

Yin Ruxue’s words annoyed Jiang Fan.

But she continued, "You might not be scared, but if they start tracking you, can you guarantee the Liu Family won’t go after the people in your life? Just consider this my way of protecting myself and Mengmeng!"

Yin Ruxue’s words silenced Jiang Fan.

He was suddenly reminded of Dong Shaojie. Hadn’t Dong Shaojie kidnapped Wu Qiang to force him to go to the Great Wall Clubhouse?

At that thought, Jiang Fan silently took the keys.

"Just stay put here today. I’ll bring Mengmeng to see you tomorrow. And don’t forget, you promised her you’d spend this Saturday with her!"

"Okay!" Jiang Fan agreed readily.

With that, Yin Ruxue drove away.

Jiang Fan walked into Yifeng Garden.

He gave the place a quick look. Yifeng Garden was a complex of several apartment buildings. He quickly found Building Three, Unit Two, and took the elevator straight to 1011.

Jiang Fan was a little surprised when he opened the door. The apartment had clearly been meticulously cleaned. It was a loft-style unit with every amenity imaginable. The first floor was equipped with a computer and a wall full of snacks, and the refrigerator was stuffed to the brim. The second floor was the bedroom, which was also neat and tidy.

Near the sofa, Jiang Fan also spotted a PlayStation.

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but sigh. ’This is a f*cking nerd’s dream house.’

Jiang Fan flopped onto the sofa. Since he’d quit his job anyway, he might as well treat this as a vacation.

The PlayStation piqued his interest. It had been his favorite thing to play when he was a kid, but he couldn’t afford it after he started working as a delivery driver.

Jiang Fan spent the entire day holed up in the apartment.

Around noon, Yin Ruxue even ordered takeout for him.

It wasn’t until evening that Wu Qiang called Jiang Fan.

"Hey, Qiang, did you and Old Niu get screwed to death by some women or what?!"

"Bullshit! You think I’m weak like you?"

"Good, you can still cuss. I thought you were dead!"

"Don’t be a f*cking idiot. Old Niu and I left Red Romance ages ago. We’re getting things ready to open the shop. Tingting had some trouble getting the money, and we’ve been busy negotiating for a storefront. This is the first chance I’ve had to call you back."

"Oh, that busy, huh? Need any help with anything?" Jiang Fan asked.

Wu Qiang said, "It’s all good. We’ve basically got it handled. Just get ready to make it big with us!"

"Okay, then I’ll wait for your good news!"

After hanging up, Jiang Fan was in a great mood. He played games for the rest of the night until he felt completely exhausted, then fell into a comfortable sleep.

The next morning, Jiang Fan was woken up by a call from Yin Ruxue.

"Hello, President Yin!"

"Jiang Fan, could you go pick up Mengmeng in a little while? Something urgent came up at the office, and I have to go in. You’ll have to watch Mengmeng today. If I finish early, I’ll come find you two."

"Alright!"

It felt a bit sudden, but Jiang Fan didn’t ask any questions.

He quickly took a shower and cleaned himself up.

Jiang Fan found a set of clothes that fit him in the apartment, likely also prepared by Yin Ruxue.

Taking the keys, he quickly went to the underground parking garage. Jiang Fan pressed the car key, and the headlights of a car not far away flashed twice. Jiang Fan recognized Yin Ruxue’s BMW.

Driving straight to Yin Ruxue’s villa, Jiang Fan soon picked up Mengmeng.

"Daddy, where are you going to take me to play today?"

Mengmeng asked after getting in the car.

"How about Daddy takes you to a place where I used to play when I was a kid?" Jiang Fan smiled.

"Okay!" Mengmeng replied happily.

Jiang Fan started the car and headed straight for the Grand Orphanage.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Grand Orphanage.

This was the first time Jiang Fan had come back since the opening ceremony of the Hidden Dragon Academy.

He had originally planned to come back during the week to check on how the classes were going, but since the school had just opened, he figured they were buried in trivial matters and didn’t want to get in the way.

At this moment, the Grand Orphanage looked more lively than before.

From a distance, Jiang Fan could already see the figures of children bustling about inside.

Jiang Fan led Mengmeng into the orphanage. Just as they walked into the courtyard, Li Qian’Er came up to greet them.

"Jiang Fan, I knew it was you! The children told me the second you arrived at the gate!"

Jiang Fan smiled and asked, "How has the orphanage been recently?"

"Jiang Fan, you have no idea how busy we’ve been lately," Li Qian’Er said hurriedly. "Because of the school, the orphanage is now a key project supported by Yang City. They’ve been sending us a lot of new kids from all over, and with the school’s students, we’re swamped."

After hearing this, Jiang Fan gave a bitter smile. He vaguely felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

"Daddy, can I come to school here too?" Mengmeng suddenly asked.

Only then did Li Qian’Er notice Mengmeng.

"Jiang, this..."

"This is my daughter, Mengmeng. I just brought her here to play today, and to see the Director and the kids."

"Ah... daughter..."

"It’s a long story, Qian’Er."

As Jiang Fan spoke, he looked at Mengmeng again.

"Mengmeng, why don’t you go play with Auntie Qian’Er and the other children for a while? Daddy is going to find the Director first."

"Okay!" Mengmeng was very obedient.

"Don’t call me Auntie, call me Sister! Mengmeng, call me Qian’Er."

Li Qian’Er shot Jiang Fan a look, then took Mengmeng by the hand and led her into the courtyard.

Jiang Fan, meanwhile, continued into the compound. When he got to the kitchen, he finally saw the Director.

"Fan, why are you here?" the Director immediately noticed Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan hurried over to help. He saw that besides the Director, there were several other aides helping in the kitchen.

"Grandma, with more children now, are you too busy to handle it all?" Jiang Fan asked apologetically.

He felt that by establishing the academy, he had inadvertently made the Director even busier.

"Being busy is good; it means I’m still useful. But I’m not that busy. Jun Yue found me a lot of helpers, the orphanage has a lot of new teachers, and the academy has its own people in charge. I don’t need to worry."

"That’s good!" Jiang Fan scratched his head.

"Fan, I saw you were holding a child’s hand when you came in."

"Grandma, so you noticed."

"I saw you the moment you walked in the gate!"

"Um... that girl’s name is Mengmeng. She’s my daughter."

"Fan, the child is already so big! Why haven’t you told your grandma?" The Director was a little surprised. "Then you and Jun Yue..."

"Grandma, she’s not actually my child. It’s a long story, and I don’t know how to explain it to you. Anyway..."
