Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

[The previous chapter has been updated with more words, so you can read it again, my darlings.]

Mu Tiantian loves seeing children's genuine happy smiles; seeing them laugh gives her a great sense of accomplishment.

Most of these children were abandoned. Compared to children from ordinary families, they are easier to satisfy and more sensible. They are content as long as they are given a little food.

Every time she saw their satisfied smiles, her heart ached.

At an age when they should be loved by their parents, they are forced to learn to be independent.

Some were abandoned because they had congenital diseases, and had to suffer from illness at a very young age.

Looking at Zhang Huamei's weathered face, her respect for her deepened.

Dean Zhang is truly remarkable; raising these children is such an arduous undertaking.

In particular, Dean Zhang was once a wealthy heiress born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

To be willing to give up the life of a wealthy heiress and come here to endure hardship—that takes a truly remarkable attitude.

Zhang Huamei met Mu Tiantian's admiring gaze and smiled kindly, "Tiantian, the children are so happy that you came, and you even brought so many things."

"Since you've come all this way, you should definitely bring something back," Mu Tiantian said, introducing Qin Fei to Zhang Huamei. "I also brought a new friend for you to meet. This is Qin Fei, he runs an internet company..."

Then she introduced Zhang Huamei to Qin Fei. On the way there, when Qin Fei asked about the orphanage, she had already told him about Zhang Huamei giving up her life as a rich young lady to establish the orphanage. Qin Fei admired Zhang Huamei very much.

After exchanging greetings with Zhang Huamei, he handed her his business card, indicating that he wanted to donate money.

After exchanging WeChat contacts with Zhang Huamei, he asked for her bank card number and donated 500,000 yuan on the spot.

Zhang Huamei was so grateful that she held Qin Fei's hands tightly to express her thanks and invited him to attend the anniversary celebration tomorrow.

Qin Fei needed to get Mu Tiantian's blood for a paternity test tomorrow, so he had to decline, citing his busy work schedule.

Although Zhang Huamei felt regretful, she couldn't force them to stay.

Qin Fei received a phone call from a colleague urging him to hurry up, and then said goodbye to Dean Zhang and the children.

Before leaving, he moved all the milk, calligraphy practice books, and toys from the car into the yard.

Mu Tiantian started distributing snacks to the children. She didn't give them to those she was close to first, but distributed them in order.

Because she came so often and always brought lots of delicious food, most of the children liked her. However, some children were shy and autistic, so they were too embarrassed to show their enthusiasm.

Mu Tiantian treats everyone equally, giving each child the same amount of snacks and fruit.

When she was assigned to one of the children she was close to, she touched their faces. Especially when she was assigned to Xiao Hei, she noticed that Xiao Hei had gotten thinner, and she tenderly rubbed Xiao Hei's head.

Xiao Hei is only five years old, but he is so sensible that it breaks your heart.

She was abandoned by her parents at the gate of an orphanage because she had a congenital heart disease.

The doctor said that Xiao Hei might not live past 23. Not to mention the high cost of treatment, even if a suitable heart transplant is found, the success rate for this kind of congenital genetic disease is very low.

Some parents are even worse than human traffickers. They know they have a disease but still give birth to a child who will suffer, and then they don't raise the child.

She used to resent fate for not receiving her father's love, but after coming to the orphanage and learning about the children's backgrounds, she stopped complaining.

At least, she is healthy, and she has a mother who loves her very much.

Now she has met Fu Zhengting, who is so outstanding and loves her so much, she is already luckier than many people.

She will cherish this good fortune.

After dividing the food, while the children ate snacks, she and Zhang Huamei played with balloons and asked about the children's health.

Zhang Huamei told Mu Tiantian the truth, and after she finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh, "Doing charity has become increasingly difficult these years. If it weren't for my connections, I probably wouldn't have been able to keep going."

Mu Tiantian didn't know what to say to comfort her; all words of comfort seemed pale and powerless.

After a long silence, she finally managed to say, "Dean Zhang, I support you no matter what. If you can't hold on, just stop. As long as you have a clear conscience, that's enough."

Zhang Huamei quickly regained her fighting spirit. She refused to let her frustration get the better of her and smiled magnanimously at Mu Tiantian, "Don't worry, I'll keep going."

Running an orphanage is not as simple as just donating money. There are so many things to handle. Although she is sometimes very tired and wants to give up, these feelings of despair are short-lived. Looking at the children's innocent and strong faces, she quickly regains her fighting spirit.

Now that she's started down this path, she'll see it through to the end.

After explaining the children's situation, she began to ask Mu Tiantian how she was doing lately.

Mu Tiantian recalled Fu Zhengting's gentle and handsome face, and smiled shyly and happily, "Dean Zhang, haven't you seen the trending topics online?"

Zhang Huamei was a little embarrassed and joked, "I've been busy with a child's surgery and preparing for the anniversary celebration lately. I don't even have time to drink water, let alone check the trending topics online."

She does many things herself and is extremely busy every day.

In the blink of an eye, this orphanage has been open for twenty years. Some of the children she raised have grown up and gone out to work. Some come back to visit her often, while others have gotten married and are busy with their own families and don't have much time to visit her, but she doesn't complain.

Mu Tiantian felt that her question was a bit childish and felt guilty.

Zhang Huamei saw through Mu Tiantian's guilt and jokingly asked Mu Tiantian to show that she didn't care, "Tiantian, just tell me who that kind person who helped you with your mother's surgery fees is."

Mu Tiantian said directly, "His name is Fu Zhengting. I wonder if Dean Zhang has heard of this famous name?"

Zhang Huamei was extremely shocked, never expecting it to be Fu Zhengting.

As soon as Mu Tiantian saw Zhang Huamei's reaction, she knew that Zhang Huamei must know Fu Zhengting.

Sure enough, the next moment Zhang Huamei told her about Fu Zhengting's past sponsorship of an orphanage.

Zhang Huamei still feels very grateful when she talks about it. "That time, we really owe a lot to President Fu. The Fu family donated the most, and President Fu himself donated nearly ten million yuan. He also mobilized his business friends to donate money, which cured all the children's illnesses at once. Later, we adopted a few more children, who unfortunately fell ill. I was too embarrassed to let President Fu spend any more money, so I didn't contact him..."

She told Mu Tiantian everything she knew about Fu Zhengting's financial assistance.

Mu Tiantian then learned that Fu Zhengting had also sponsored many students.

She admired and loved Fu Zhengting even more.

"President Fu may seem aloof, but he's actually incredibly kind-hearted and has no scandalous past. He's a rare gem of a man," Zhang Huamei sincerely praised.

Having once been a wealthy young lady, she knew all too well the hypocrisy of those gentlemen in high society.

A man who looks respectable may be incredibly filthy inside.

The wealthier a man is, the more restless he is.

Hearing Zhang Huamei praise the man she liked, Mu Tiantian felt a surge of pride.

As Zhang Huamei spoke, she mentioned to Mu Tiantian about a female college student whom Fu Zhengting had once sponsored who pretended to be poor to deceive him and scheme to marry into the Fu family.
