"Hello, dear. Your name is Mo Ron, right?"
Xun Wen asked Mo Ron in a gentle voice.
The frown still lingered on Mo Ron''s forehead but she nodded her head reluctantly when she saw the gentle smile on the woman''s lips.
She somehow didn''t like it.
Her Aunt, Su Mian also used to have such a gentle smile on her lips. Since she was a widow with one child, her mother always tried to help her when she was alive even though both of them were in the same kind of situation.
Mo Ron also didn''t have a father.
However, after her mother''s death when herst belonging …that diamond ne was snatched by her aunt Wen Zuyan then she had gone and begged in front of Su Mian to help her …only to find out that Su Mian also had her share from the money Wen Zuyan got by selling that ne.
And then Su Mian was also the person who suggested everyone else in Mo Family to send her and Mo Chen to the orphanage …the orphanage they were currently living in where they have to fight for food, clothes, and everything else that was necessary to live with other children.
So she just disliked the woman wearing the gentle smile on her lips. Also, the woman hade to snatch her brother from her, so her dislike towards the woman was very natural.
Mo Ron remained cold and indifferent despite the gentleness of the woman. Many children start to get tamed by a gentle woman …at least the sensible ones so perhaps Wen Zuyan was surprised when she saw that Mo Ron still looked so cold and indifferent.
However, that surprise only remained for a moment. The next moment, she again maintained the gentle smile on her lips and sat on the chair ced beside Mo Ron.
"You love your brother very much, right?"
She asked Mo Ron gently and Mo Ron immediately nodded her head vigorously.
Xun Wenughed gently and whispered
"I also like very much. He is so cute."
A smile unconsciously emerged on Mo Ron''s lips.
Her brother was cute, sensible and very lovely. After her mother''s death, he was the only person who was the reason behind her will to continue living this life.
"But…"
Xun Wen sighed sadly as she continued attracting Mo Ron''s attentionpletely with her actions.
"I am very sad that he had to live here … a ce where he doesn''t even get enough to eat, doesn''t get good clothes to wear, doesn''t get to study in a good school. He also told me that he likes to read books with images. You also must be sad seeing that your brother can''t get all these things, right?"
Mo Ron''s lips were pressed in a thin line and her eyes unconsciously got teary. She remembered howst night the food she and Mo Chen were given was snatched by other children.
She had fought back …a lot and had sessfully snatched the bread from those children. Although she got a few scratched here and there, she got some food for her brother and that was worth it.
However, that bread was not enough for a seven-year-old boy who had not eaten for a whole day.
However, that seven-year-old boy was so persistent in not showing his hunger that whenever Mo Ron would ask him if he was hungry …he would innocently shake his head and say that he was not hungry. Thest food that he perhaps doesn''t even remember when he had eaten filled his stomach so much that he didn''t feel hungry at all even now.
Mo Ron could live without food for a whole day, two days, or even three days without anyints but seeing Mo Chen going through the same thing would fill her heart with so much pain and helplessness that many times she thought that death would be better than this kind of life.
However, what would happen to her brother if she died?
She was not brave enough to kill him with herself. She had promised her mother at the time of her death that she would take care of Mo Chen.
So she had no way except continue living.
A tear slid out of her eyes as Mo Ron remembered all this.
She didn''t want to cry. She didn''t want to show her weakness in front of her but Xun Wen really caught her raw nerve.
Her Mo Chen…she didn''t want him to starve like this.
Mo Ron cried silently as she covered her face to hide her tears.
Xun Wen didn''t say anything. She just looked at the girl with a soft smile on her lips. Five minutester, when Mo Ron still didn''t stop, she sighed and said
"You know …me and my husband, we are not that rich but we still live a very good life. Good enough to provide your brother three times of meal, good clothes, and pay for his studies in whichever school he will wish to study."
After a pause, Xun Wen continued
"We have even done some tests on Mo Chen to stay rest assured that he is healthy. My husband has started a newpany and if it went well and reached new heights then I assure you that it will be your brother who will get all that because My family doesn''t have any child."
Mo Ron had stopped crying by now and she was silent hearing Xun Wen''s words.
"Mo Chen will live very well with us. I will love him like a mother and my husband will be his father. We will take care of him as if we had birthed him."
Xun Wen suddenly stood up from the chair and patted Mo Ron''s head.
"Think about it, Mo Ron. Since you are the only rtive of Mo Chen here, we need your permission to bring him with us. Think what is best for your brother and then take a decision."
Saying these words, Xun Wen left a dazed and teary-eyed Mo Ron alone inside the room.
