Chapter 79 Make a bet, call daddy if you lose
August 19th.
A scandal has been exposed in the beautiful country.
On a private island located in the southeastern waters of St. Thomas, financial tycoon Jeffrey Eptan organized a large-scale copper smelting operation on the island. It involves many current and retired politicians, as well as a large number of powerful people in financial circles, sports circles, academic circles, etc.
Xia Ye said that many of them were the leaders of Shirobako, which was enough to make them confused.
Well, the exposure of this matter has something to do with her.
Many citizens marched in protest, and the chaos near White Castle reached extreme levels. I can only say that it is indeed a free and beautiful country.
August 29th.
It took some effort.
Get a temporary residence permit in Canada. I also applied for visas for many countries I wanted to visit.
Now I can travel openly and openly around the world like an ordinary tourist.
Wendy was not interested in any of this.
However, Su Ming said she had the idea of starting a security company. She was very excited and muttered about attracting all the top killers in the rankings... Was she overthinking it?
If they are all guys whose appearance fees start at several million dollars, they are all thorny. Do you want to close down as soon as you open your business? Just an ordinary security company. Really don't mention that one day you will receive a big mission such as assassinating the emperor and become famous. Even if there is, I won’t pick it up.
Su Ming really planned to adopt a child.
Anyway, back to reality, the experience of raising children is useful, right?
And maybe Xia Ye's favorability has never dropped, and the child is her hidden worry.
……
In the past few days, I have been traveling to various shelters, welfare homes and other places in Canada.
It was very different from what Su Ming expected.
At first I thought it might be strange to have children with European and American faces, but after seeing more of them, I felt that Asian faces were better. He and Xia Ye obviously both have Asian faces, even if they are adopted children, would it be better if they have the same faces? Putting aside the negative impact on myself, at least children can be protected from criticism.
September 6th.
Shirobako's matter is finally settled. Frequent scandals keep them busy.
No matter how important things are, facing the oppression of the image of a big country, we can only be honest. Disappeared for the time being.
Su Ming never used his real name again. Same goes for summer nights. There was no trace of this person in the first place, and Xia Ye, who had no name in the first place, broke away from the traces he had left on the island country and removed the account number one on the KING list. Where could he go to get to the bottom of it?
Now he is in a welfare home in Canada.
"Why did you choose me?"
The little girl's expression was dull, and no fluctuations could be seen in her pupils.
She is one of the few Asian faces here.
According to the dean, her father is from Snow Country and her mother is from Canada. Mixed race.
Originally considered middle class. As a result, her family was destroyed in an accident, leaving her with only disabled legs.
"Do you want to eat the apple? If you eat it, I will tell you how to stand up."
"..."
He turned the wheelchair and turned his head expressionlessly. She is very thin, and her appearance is comparable to that of Xia Ye's desolate appearance at the beginning.
"Big brother, do you want to adopt her?"
"It feels quite special. What do you think?"
"Well, the body is a little thin. But it can also be cultivated."
"Cultivation? She doesn't need to be a killer. She can just go to school, graduate, get married, work, and live her own life. Just be a normal person."
People.
The most important thing is to have clear thoughts. If the relationship is not good at first sight, there will probably be no follow-up.
August 30th.
Su Ming donated one million US dollars to the welfare home.
"Really, thank you so much! I have long heard that people in the Snow Country are so generous!"
"Thank you for your contribution to these children!"
The dean's face turned red with gratitude. But when Su Ming said that he wanted to adopt a disabled kid in the home, he paused again.
"I must tell you the truth."
"She has a bad temper. And... there are signs of self-harm and self-abuse."
"It's impossible to stand up again with both legs. The doctor has made a judgment."
"It doesn't matter."
Su Ming waved his hand carelessly.
It doesn't matter if the doctor can't make a judgment, as long as Xia Ye judges that it can be cured.
……
"Can't you see? The legs are useless."
"Besides, I don't like you."
"Copper smelting addiction."
But the little girl didn't appreciate it at all.
"What?"
Forget everything else, why do you say you smelt copper yourself? !
"The woman next to you looks like she's underage."
"Are you adopting me to satisfy your selfish desires? Imprisoning me in a house while I am unable to move? How disgusting..."
Quite unruly.
The more this happened, the more Su Ming wanted her to call her daddy willingly.
So, he smiled.
"Make a bet, if I can get you to stand up."
"Just call me daddy and call her mommy. How about that?"
"...psychosis."
She had no expression on her face and swung her wheelchair away from Su Ming.
September 3rd. Children with physical disabilities like her will most likely spend their future in orphanages until they are 18 years old and can become independent unless a miracle happens. Those who have more money than ordinary people will receive some insurance money. The world was not very kind to her.
Because of this, if she had a qualified person who wanted to adopt her, the orphanage would not be able to refuse her.
"You will regret it."
Sit in the back seat and stow the wheelchair in the trunk.
She still didn't look good.
"Big brother, you are evil-minded."
"Why am I so evil? This is a selfless help, right?"
"Xiaoye, I can think of the big brother's appearance when he thinks of her standing up, but he can't bear to do anything but call her daddy. Then he will cry."
"...Nonsense, I just sympathize."
"Brother, you're grinning from ear to ear."
"There are only cleft women in this world, not cleft men."
"..."
Little girls have names. Avril Lavigne.
She didn't understand why she chose herself who had never left the house. She had no hope for the outside world, and she never thought there was any hope. Even good people don't like themselves when they are flawed.
If it’s a bad guy——
"Hey, you may be a little underestimated of your future parents."
"It's impossible to jump out of the car in front of us."
He seems to have very good skills.
It doesn't matter what happens, anyway, life is so bad. How much worse could it be?
September 6th.
Night.
How to treat it?
The nerves were completely necrotic and the muscles had long since atrophied. Theoretically speaking, unless it goes back into the stomach and regenerates again.
But there is a box in the summer night.
A section of tail meat that has been cut off. Still alive to this day.
"What are you going to do?!"
Avril didn't believe that Xia Ye was a doctor at all, and she was even more scared when she stared at the thing squirming slightly in the box.
"You..."
The anesthetic took effect and her strength to struggle became less and less. Tears finally fell from his cheeks at this moment.
She didn't understand why her life had to be so miserable.
"Don't worry, this is fulfilling the bet."
"Also, before you said I was a copper smelting addict, who was it?!"
"Your mother has grown up a long time ago."
In the end this was all I heard. She thought she would die.
To die after experiencing disgusting things in such a dark and terrifying place... seems to be a very fitting final destination for him.
September 7th.
Morning.
Avril Lavigne had a nightmare about a man digging out her organs. He smiled evilly and tried to dig out his eyes again... he woke up with a fright.
Sit up.
……
Sit up?
……
"Why do I feel like you are letting me off?"
"No, big brother has caught it."
"It's strange because I caught them all. No matter how I tilted them, you could catch them just enough for me to catch them."
She heard voices.
In the courtyard, Su Mingzai and Xia Ye were playing badminton.
He is not carrying a utility knife at this time, and his physical strength has not been increased...can he fight Xia Ye back and forth?
Isn't it just a summer night to let go of water and lie to ghosts?
Su Ming heard the movement.
After regaining consciousness, I saw Avril, who was still unruly yesterday, staggering and holding on to the floor-to-ceiling window, coming out.
She had difficulty walking down the stairs. He actually chose to climb down.
"What is this for?"
Su Ming put down the racket and caught her when she almost fell.
"Not a dream?"
Her voice trembled.
"Of course not. But you still need a period of rehabilitation until you get used to having legs again."
"How is it? Now is it time to be willing to call me daddy?"
"...Don't worry about me. Let me... sit alone for a while."
"?"
"Alright."
Su Ming didn't know what she was thinking, but since she said so, it would be okay to let her sit on the edge of the courtyard.
How long?
Avril just stared blankly at Su Ming and Xia Ye continuing to play.
Then, suddenly she burst into tears silently.
Putting down the racket, Su Ming and Xia Ye squatted in front of her and touched their heads.
"How could I... be okay... ugh!"
Her emotions could no longer be suppressed and she burst into tears.
