"Who are you, and why are you allowed entry?" However, Xiong Lan wasn't a pushover. Thus, her first response was to use her authority and have Su Tao leave. This was her territory, and she held the authority here.
The security guard was a middle-aged man in his fifties. When he saw the dispute from afar, he immediately ran over with an awkward smile. "This is Ms. Chen and Little Lu's friend, so I allowed him in."
"Send him off!" Xiong Lan furiously ordered while pointing at Su Tao and continued, "And Lu s.h.i.+miao, you've already grown up, and you're capable of making a living. I'm grateful that you came back to the orphanage to visit us, but if you're bringing someone to cause trouble, I'm sorry, but you're not welcomed back anymore."
Despite the rage written on Lu s.h.i.+miao's face, she still left while pulling Su Tao. She wasn't afraid of being kicked out, but she was worried that Su Tao might flare up and beat Xiong Lan up. This was the orphanage that she grew up in, so despite having no good feelings for this princ.i.p.al, she still wanted to preserve her own pride and not fall out with the management here.
She still had the intention of adopting Little Yuan, but Xiong Lan was the princ.i.p.al of this orphanage. So if the latter made trouble from within, all of her plans would go down the drain.
Watching Lu s.h.i.+miao leave the orphanage, Chen Juan sighed, "Princ.i.p.al Xiong, s.h.i.+miao has affection for our orphanage, so isn't it a little too cruel to treat her this way?"
Raising her lips in disdain, Xiong Lan adjusted her gold-framed spectacles and replied, "In my view, the money that she sent back to the orphanage was what the orphanage deserved. If it wasn't for the previous princ.i.p.al's support, how could she have such achievements now? Not only did she finish her university, she even obtained a decent job. So is tens of thousands a lot?"
Although Chen Juan's lips moved, she sighed and kept her silence. She wanted to remind Xiong Lan that the money Lu s.h.i.+miao sent back would increase along with her salary. Despite being only tens of thousands, it was a great sum for Lu s.h.i.+miao. On the contrary, Bei Xuqing's wealth was over a hundred million, and yet, he only supported the orphanage with ¥200,000 every year.
The reason why Chen Juan kept her silence was because she worked here, so she had to depend on Xiong Lan's whim for a living. As she sighed, she went out and chased after Lu s.h.i.+miao.
"I'm sorry, Little Miao." At this moment, Chen Juan could only apologise for Xiong Lan's sake.
"You've done nothing wrong." Lu s.h.i.+miao smiled as she continued, "Xiong Lan is too selfish, and she's not suitable to be the princ.i.p.al."
Nodding her head, the brim of Chen Juan's eyes turned red. "I miss the old princ.i.p.al."
Patting Chen Juan's shoulder to comfort her, Lu s.h.i.+miao also felt a tint of sour in her nose before she said, "We're going to pick up Little Yuan. I'm worried that she might not be happy."
With a sigh, Chen Juan replied, "Yeah, she didn't seem too happy about being invited to Bei Xuqing's house as a guest this morning. Although she's only eight, she's a sensible child. She did not make a fuss, and obediently entered the car."
When Lu s.h.i.+miao heard Chen Juan's words, her heart tightened up even more before she responded, "I want to see her as soon as possible."
All of this was seen by Xiong Lan, who was walking in the hallway. Chen Juan, you actually dare to go against me? Do you not want your job?
When she returned to her office, she made a call to Kang Zidong through her office line and her tone instantly turned gentle, "There was a small incident. Lu s.h.i.+miao just brought a man over, while wanting to take Little Yuan out to play."
At this moment, Kang Zidong was gambling with a few prominent figures of Baihe City with a cigarette hanging from his lips. As he casually threw out a card, he smiled in disdain. "Little Yuan is already in Chairman Bei's home. Let them go if they want, but the prerequisite is if they're able to make it in."
