Chapter 973: Chapter 0973: Admitting Mistakes
Under the guidance of the old director, Ye Xunhuan arrived at the classroom where the children of the welfare institute were having their lessons!
Although the welfare institute was uninhabitable due to renovations, it still had a large classroom, much like the collective lecture halls in many universities. It was spacious, with plain white walls and no additional paint or decorations. The children attended classes here.
In the large classroom, Qiu Ruoxi stood at the podium, teaching the children arithtic.
It was all very basic arithtic, the kind commonly seen in kindergarten.
Previously, the children at the welfare institute even struggled with having enough to eat, let alone being able to go to school. Although i Hanqing would teach the children, it was limited to Sundays, her days off, so now all the children were starting their learning from scratch!
Standing at the podium, Qiu Ruoxi was unlike her typically cold, aloof self. On the contrary, a faint smile graced her face.
A completely genuine smile, warm and enchanting.
She looked like a millennia-old ice sculpture, suddenly lted by the warmth of sunlight.
Qiu Ruoxi was seriously teaching the children ntal arithtic, and the children were listening attentively.
Watching Qiu Ruoxi teach the children, Ye Xunhuan didn’t interrupt her. Instead, he quietly stood aside, observing.
“Mr. Ye, should I ask Miss Qiu to co over?”
“No need!” Ye Xunhuan shook his head directly. “Let her finish teaching the children first!”
“Mr. Ye, you and Miss Qiu are truly kindhearted people. If it weren’t for you two…”
“Old director, please don’t say that anymore in the future!” Ye Xunhuan said seriously as he looked at the old director. “These children should not be broken angels!”
“They deserve a beautiful life and future. Besides, it’s sothing we’re capable of doing. If we weren’t capable, however well-intentioned we might be, we’d still be powerless!” Ye Xunhuan spoke softly. “When you earn more money, you should learn to give back to society and help those in need, shouldn’t you?”
The old director chuckled awkwardly and said nothing more.
Having lived a long life, the old director had encountered countless people and sought help from countless others, but had never t anyone quite like Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi.
Everyone seed preoccupied with making money, especially the wealthy. The richer they were, the more they seed driven by greed, growing increasingly devoid of humanity, reeking of nothing but the stench of wealth.
But Qiu Ruoxi was like a refreshing spring, cleansing the cold, indifferent, and tainted upper class!
Not only did Qiu Ruoxi contribute the most financially, but she was also the most dedicated to the welfare institute, even personally teaching the children. Comparing hearts, the old director felt an unprecedented gratitude toward her.
Without exaggeration, if Qiu Ruoxi ever needed anything, the old director wouldn’t hesitate to give her life for her.
Yet the old director had no idea that in the business world, Qiu Ruoxi was like a venomous scorpion, stinging anyone in her path!
But humans are complex creatures. No matter how they treat others, as long as they’re good to you, then they’re a good person, aren’t they?
Moreover, the business world is like a battlefield, a place of life-and-death struggle.
Ye Xunhuan stood there quietly, watching Qiu Ruoxi teach the children.
To be honest, although Ye Xunhuan had seen Qiu Ruoxi smile before, he had never seen her smile so genuinely happy.
Especially when the children asked naive questions—far from being annoyed, she patiently explained everything to them with utmost care.
Ti flew by. Before long, class was finally over.
As soon as the class ended, the children dashed out of the room in a flash.
Children are naturally playful, so now that the class was over, they naturally chose to go outside to play rather than stay in the classroom.
The children ran out of the classroom, and upon seeing Ye Xunhuan, they greeted him warmly, one by one.
In response, Ye Xunhuan smiled back and reminded them to be careful.
Once all the children had run out of the classroom, Ye Xunhuan walked inside.
Qiu Ruoxi had already noticed Ye Xunhuan but had ignored him. Now, as she saw him walking toward her, the smile that had graced her face vanished instantly. Her delicate face turned ice-cold in a blink of an eye.
“Honey…”
It was as if Qiu Ruoxi didn’t hear Ye Xunhuan at all. She turned and walked straight out.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan quickly chased after her.
“Honey, I know you’re mad at . I also know it was wrong of not to call you and let you know. That’s my fault, but can’t you give a chance to explain?” Ye Xunhuan followed closely behind her like a shadow, pleading.
But Qiu Ruoxi completely ignored Ye Xunhuan’s words, walking out of the large classroom with a blank expression.
“Even prisoners on death row get a chance to consult their lawyer before their sentence. Don’t I deserve at least that much?” Ye Xunhuan said bitterly.
At this mont, Ye Xunhuan was completely at a loss when it ca to Qiu Ruoxi. This woman was utterly ignoring him!
Qiu Ruoxi continued to disregard Ye Xunhuan and headed toward an open area in the welfare institute, where she started playing with the children.
“Qiu Ruoxi, will you actually die if you say sothing?”
“Say what?”
Qiu Ruoxi finally spoke, but her voice was chilling—as cold as a Siberian wind suddenly sweeping through, causing an instant shiver.
Looking into her icy and indifferent eyes, Ye Xunhuan opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words.
At this mont, Olivia and Wang Zilin suddenly appeared from sowhere.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi staring at each other, they exchanged a look.
“Sister Wei Ya, the atmosphere between Brother Xunhuan and Sister Ruoxi seems really tense…”
“Serves him right! Let him stew in it!” Olivia said gleefully. “Co on, let’s go watch!”
With that, Olivia dragged Wang Zilin along, whether she wanted to or not.
“Oh my, Mr. Ye, have you co to beg for forgiveness from your wife?” Olivia said with a sly smile as she looked at Ye Xunhuan.
Seeing Olivia’s smug expression, Ye Xunhuan found it hard to imagine she had ever defended him in the past instead of adding fuel to the fire.
“Yes, I’m here to apologize!” Ye Xunhuan admitted honestly.
“Well, go on and apologize, then. Let’s see how you do it!”
Ye Xunhuan’s mouth twitched slightly. Why do I have to perform my apology for you?
Then, with a not-so-friendly look, Ye Xunhuan glanced at Olivia, as if warning her not to stir up trouble—or else.
But Olivia completely ignored Ye Xunhuan’s gaze and turned to Qiu Ruoxi. “Ruoxi, Zilin and I have finished preparing the children’s rooms. Would you like to co and take a look…”
“Sure!”
With that, Qiu Ruoxi prepared to leave with Olivia, leaving Ye Xunhuan standing there alone.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan panicked and grabbed her fair, slender hand. “Co with !”
Then, Ye Xunhuan pulled Qiu Ruoxi away toward the side.
