But Xu Siyan had no time to think, Jiang Mingzhu was already asking him for snacks: "Give me the biscuits, I'll bring them in."
Xu Siyan came back to his senses: "Yes."
He took out a box from the back row. When Jiang Mingzhu was about to carry it, she was stopped: "It's a bit heavy, let me do it."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Oh, then you lead the way and I will follow you."
Jiang Mingzhu kept a distance of about half a meter from Xu Siyan and followed him into the hospital. This hospital was newly built in the eastern suburbs. Because there were not many residential areas nearby and it was a private hospital, it was quite deserted.
The children were placed in several different wards.
Jiang Mingzhu and Xu Siyan started watching from the first ward.
There are four children living in the first ward, two of whom are deaf-mute, one cannot see, and the other is born with a disability in his legs and feet.
Jiang Mingzhu has been smiling since she entered the ward. She is sincere and gentle when talking to the children.
After she finished speaking, she started handing out snacks.
Xu Siyan followed behind to help her.
When Jiang Mingzhu distributed snacks to the children, she realized that the things in this box were different from what she had eaten in the car before.
She ate biscuits and candies, and here were some bread, ham sausages and eggs, not counting snacks but considered staple food.
However, the children still liked it very much. Seeing them eating with gusto, Jiang Mingzhu couldn't help but think of herself when she was a child.
After Jiang Mingzhu and Xu Siyan walked through three wards, they came out and went to see the doctor.
When she wasn't talking to the children, the smile on Jiang Mingzhu's face disappeared. When she saw the doctor, her expression became even more serious.
Even putting aside the congenital defects of these children, other problems among them are also serious.
First, there was some physical malnutrition. Several of the children had received ripening injections and had hormonal disorders in their bodies;
Secondly, after long-term confinement and torture, almost all children have severe post-traumatic stress disorder.
Especially those who can't see, they will tremble as soon as they hear any noise, or even jump out of bed with a look of panic.
Jiang Mingzhu consulted a doctor about these situations.
Doctor: "Don't worry too much. Mr. Xu has already made arrangements and we will always give them free treatment here."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Have you ever seen a psychiatrist?"
Doctor: "I've looked for it, but this kind of treatment is relatively slow to take effect. We don't have enough time at the moment."
Jiang Mingzhu, who has been ill for a long time and has become a doctor, knows this better than anyone else.
It is impossible for the children to stay in the hospital forever. They will definitely have to leave here when their physical symptoms are not so serious.
The subsequent placement of these children has become a problem.
It would be best to find a suitable adopter, but children with congenital defects are rarely so lucky.
Now that they have been rescued, Jiang Mingzhu will not watch them jump into another quagmire.
When she came out after talking to the doctor, Jiang Mingzhu asked Xu Siyan: "What will be the arrangements for the children after they are discharged from the hospital? Do I need to ask the police?"
Xu Siyan: "Yeah."
He saw Jiang Mingzhu's eyes rolling, and it seemed that he was planning something: "Do you have any ideas?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Post-traumatic stress disorder will not heal in a short time, and some people will never recover in their lifetime."
"Even if they are sent to the orphanage, it will be difficult to find a suitable adoptive family, and the orphanage does not have the conditions to provide them with long-term psychological treatment." Jiang Mingzhu said that she had already picked up her mobile phone, "I want to pick them all up. come over."
Xu Siyan thought that Jiang Mingzhu would take action, but he didn't expect that she would do this: "Get me to your side?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "No, the foundation."
Xu Siyan reacted: "You mean Liang Liang's foundation."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yeah."
The two people were talking and walking, and in the blink of an eye they had reached the car.
Jiang Mingzhu still sat in the passenger seat this time. After Xu Siyan got up, she asked again: "Can I just ask Captain Chen?"
Xu Siyan: "It should be."
Jiang Mingzhu nodded.
Xu Siyan: "Would you like to eat cake?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I told you I would treat you to dinner, let's go."
Just think of it as thanking him for taking care of these children.
The doctor also said just now that all the expenses for the children's treatment were borne by Xu Siyan. It might not be a big deal to him, but it was a great blessing to the children who had no chance of escaping.
Jiang Mingzhu did not state her purpose clearly, but Xu Siyan could tell it from her words.
It was because he helped those children that she was so "enthusiastic" towards him.
In this way, the previous doubts will be solved.
——
Jiang Mingzhu gave Xu Siyan the task of choosing a restaurant.
She didn't say a few words to Xu Siyan on the way, and her attention was all on WeChat.
She was discussing the idea with Fu Xiaozhi and Fu Muye to confirm the feasibility of the project.
Time passed quickly when we started talking about this matter. Before the topic ended, Jiang Mingzhu felt the car stop.
She raised her head and looked out the window. It was a French restaurant.
Xu Siyan: "This is it."
Jiang Mingzhu got out of the car, and the two of them went to the restaurant to find a booth and sit down.
After the waiter brought the menu, Jiang Mingzhu was busy chatting and said to Xu Siyan, "Just order it."
So the task of ordering food also fell to Xu Siyan.
After Xu Siyan finished ordering his meal, he looked at Jiang Mingzhu. She was still holding her cell phone and chatting enthusiastically.
Xu Siyan did not disturb her and waited for a few more minutes.
It wasn't until Jiang Mingzhu put down her phone that Xu Siyan asked, "Do you plan to set up a new project to continue funding them?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yeah."
When talking about this matter, she talked more than before: "I am now doing accounting contracts and planning at the foundation. I was already selecting projects before. I think this is quite meaningful."
The last time she attended a special education school, Jiang Mingzhu had some ideas in her head.
Today's events have enriched her thoughts. She talked a lot in the WeChat group just now and will prepare a plan tomorrow.
Both Fu Xiaozhi and Fu Muye think this project is very good, has little overlap with other foundation projects, and can actually help people.
Xu Siyan listened to Jiang Mingzhu's words very carefully.
Then he poured Jiang Mingzhu a glass of mint water and sent it over.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Thank you."
While she was drinking water, Xu Siyan asked, "Can I sponsor this project?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "It's great to have someone sponsor you. If you are willing, I have no reason to have any objections."
Xu Siyan: "Okay, then I will send someone to talk to you when your project is implemented."
Before Jiang Mingzhu could reply to Xu Siyan's words, her phone suddenly rang.
Her mobile phone was placed on the table. As soon as the screen lit up, Xu Siyan looked over and scanned the name on it.
Zhou Lilai’s phone call.
Xu Siyan touched the cup with his fingers and pursed his lips slightly.
Just when he was ready to listen to Jiang Mingzhu answer the phone, he saw Jiang Mingzhu decisively press hang up and put the phone into silent mode.
Xu Siyan's expression became more subtle now.
He asked tentatively: "Did you and Fourth Brother... quarrel?"
