So what you are saying is that I stole your jade?Standing opposite her was a girl about her age. Tilting her head,the girl eyed her coldly before she turned to smile innocently at the other children.
Compared to her,the girl looked sweet and proud,as though she was a lofty,little princess showered with everyone's love. As soon as she spoke, the children around them quickly came to her defense.
You are obviously lying! You are lying! Why would Rosa steal your jade?.
"Right,right! That is impossible!How is Rosa a thief?Clearly,it is you who stole her jade
Faced with all condemnation and questions,the girl was unable to give them a convincing explanation to defend herself.Absolutely aggrieved,She rubbed her eyes bitterly and burst into tears.
"That is really my jade!Give it back to me".
Rosa eyed her wickedly and turn to speak to everyone. Everyone,it is clear that Tina is the thief, don't play with her anymore. Thieves are bad.
Several children vigorously nodded their heads. Uh-huh.Let listen to Rosa and ignore her in the future ,she is a thief
The children roared with laughter as they dispersed. Alone,the girl leaned against a wall.She held back her tears has she gazed at the other children's backs tightly clenching her fists
*********
A row of men clad in black suits lined up outside the director's office. An energetic looking elderly man past fifty sat sternly on the sofa the sets of traditional garment in him enhance his respectable demeanor,and under the shadows of his brow was an air of fury
He might be getting on in years his appearance,slightly aged but from his handsome facial features one could still picture how stunning he looked during prime
The director brought in a pile of documents, carefully showed them to the elderly man and respectfully offered them to Mr Royale.These are the children who came into the welfare center last year. All their information is here. Please have a look.
The elderly man reached out his hand for the documents, went over some of them and then furrowed his eyebrows. The assistant by his side caught sight of his expression and raised his head to smile at the director asking that child is about eight to nine years old may I ask of those that were admitted last year how many fits this condition
The director briefly went over his memories and swiftly replied,"please hold on for a moment."
The elderly man continue to scan through the documents yet his eyes where fixed in a family portrait he suddenly stretched out and pointed let me see this girl
The director felt stunned before hurriedly nodding I understand I shall arrange for her to meet you fast
He made a call and soon after a teacher brought a girl in.
Rosa diligently stood in front of the elderly man,with her hands to her back and chest puffed up. grinning from ear to ear,she said,"Grandpa, nice to meet you. I am Rosa."
The elderly man expressionlessly stared at her and carefully examined every inch of her face.his eyes slowly narrowed as he looked at her darkly and gloomily.
Rosa curiously wrinkled her brows. This elderly man's fierce looking face and stern demeanor somehow frightened her. Just as she retreated a few steps back,she saw him suddenly gesture to her.
Come! Let Grandpa take a good look at you.
Okay Rosa hesitantly took two steps forward.The elderly man gently held her shoulder and observed her up close.Despite the compatibility in age he still felt that neither her appearance or facial features were similarly to that person
His gaze slowly shifted downward until it landed on the jade near her collarbone. The elderly man held up the piece of jade and softly asked,"This jade…."
Rosa stiffened for a moment before smiling sweetly. This jade was given to me by my mother.
The elderly man slightly narrowed his eyes. His assistant quickly realized the situation. He hurriedly took out another piece of jade from a briefcase and passed it to him.
The two pieces of jade where put together and they fit perfectly
The elderly man's hands slightly shuddered.Upon witnessing this,the assistant understood his intentions and walked over to the director. He muttered a few words to him before taking out a check with a large amount from the briefcase and handing it over to him. The director accepted it with a smile.
A row of luxurious black limousines was packed at the entrance of the welfare center.
A desolate looking girl climbed up the black iron railings in the distance and with dull eyes watched Rosa follow a group of men in suits and entered an extended Bentley.
The moments the door of the vehicle closed Rosa coldly swept her gaze over to her direction.
Coincidentally their eyes collided. Rosa smiled slyly at her before the car window rolled up and the vehicles drove off into the distance.
Tina broke into tears as she went to the director's office and explained to him that the jade belongs to her,Rosa stole it from her. The director shouted at her and called a lier she tried explaining it to him but she was pushed outside by the director. Tina cried herself to sleep that night without taking anything into her stomach.
After a few weeks Tina was adopted into the Texas family.
Thus the life of two children took an unexpected turn.
