Chapter 345 Severe Malnutrition

"Although they are all minor injuries, we should still try to keep the area dry and avoid bumps and bruises. Also, this child is severely malnourished; she is too thin compared to other children her age."

The doctor sighed and handed the prescription to Song Qianyi.

She had always known that it was impossible to take perfect care of every child living in an orphanage, but when she saw the data sheet the doctor gave her, she still gasped.

In fact, Yanxi didn't care about these things; she had long since gotten used to them.

After leaving the hospital, Song Qianyi's face was grim. Looking at her secretary standing next to the car, she said coldly, "Replace that hospital director immediately. As for the things that have been uncovered, just hand them over to the police."

Someone capable of abusing children is no good, and it's highly unlikely that they only did this to Yanxi.

Looking at the quiet child in her arms, Song Qianyi felt a pang of heartache. The child was about the same age as her daughter, yet she had endured so much abuse.

Song Qianyi sighed helplessly. After putting his daughter in the car, he closed the car door and stood outside to make a phone call to Ji Jingshen.

"Qianyi? Did something happen?"

Recently, Song Qianyi has been going out almost every day to check on the situation in various orphanages.

He could hardly see her all day, and even when he sent a message, it would take a long time to get a reply, so Ji Jingshen was a little surprised that Song Qianyi took the initiative to call him.

“I met a child at the orphanage, she…” Song Qianyi hesitated for a moment before telling him everything that had happened, “I’m thinking of taking her home with me for a while.”

The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then agreed.

Yanxi was very reserved throughout the journey. The interior of the car was obviously very expensive, and she was afraid that if she made any move and damaged anything, she would be met with endless insults and beatings.

Seemingly sensing her nervousness, Song Qianyi sighed and stepped forward to gently embrace her.

When the car stopped in front of the villa, Yanxi was shocked by the sight before her; she had never been to such a luxurious place before.

But fear followed. She didn't know if this beautiful woman really wanted to help her, and could only silently remind herself to be careful every day here.

When Sui Sui learned that Song Qianyi was bringing a young lady back, she was so excited that she dragged the nanny to the front gate to wait. When she saw Song Qianyi's car, she excitedly ran over to it.

"Mom! Where's that older sister?"

Sui Sui peeked out of the car door, eagerly hoping for a playmate to keep her company. However, her parents hadn't given her a younger brother, so her sister had to stay home alone.

Today my wish finally came true.

"Her name is Yanxi, she's older than you, so you should call her 'older sister' from now on."

Song Qianyi gently rubbed her daughter's head, introduced the two children to each other, and watched them walk in hand in hand, feeling very gratified.

Sui Sui happily pulled Yan Xi into her room to share her toys. Song Qianyi, who followed them in, was very happy to see them getting along so peacefully.

That evening, when Ji Jingshen returned, he also saw the child that Song Qianyi had brought back, but he didn't show any particular expression. To him, the child was just another person the company was sponsoring.

After all, the company sponsors many children every year.

For three consecutive days, Song Qianyi took extra care of Yanxi, and her wounds healed well. On her day off, Song Qianyi and her family drove to the Song family home.

However, since Yanxi's situation had not been told to the elderly couple, they were somewhat surprised to see them together.

"Mom and Dad, this is Yanxi. Some things happened before, and now she lives with us."

She briefly told the elderly couple about what was happening at the orphanage, and that the director had been replaced.

Song's mother nodded without showing any objection, and instead warmly welcomed the two children inside.

"Honestly, next time something like this happens, just tell us in advance so we're not prepared at all."

Song's mother pretended to be angry and glanced at Song Qianyi before going inside to play with the two children.

Song Qianyi thought they genuinely accepted Yanxi, but she didn't know that after they finished eating, Song's mother and father were whispering to each other in the back garden.

"Qianyi didn't even discuss such a big matter with us. Judging from how much she cares about this child, she probably wants to adopt him."

"I will absolutely not agree to this. What if it takes away Sui Sui's favor?"

Her precious Sui Sui had gone through so much recently, and now that she was finally able to live a peaceful life, someone else was going to take away her affection. How could she accept that?

Mr. Song nodded repeatedly, supporting Mrs. Song's decision. However, since Song Qianyi hadn't mentioned it yet, they decided to pretend they didn't know and wait until they were ready to proceed with the adoption procedures.

What they didn't know was that a small figure was sneaking around behind a tree, able to hear their conversation clearly.

Yanxi's face was deathly pale. She knew that the director of the orphanage had been replaced, but this was not the first orphanage she had stayed in. She had been very happy at Song Qianyi's house these past few days.

Being able to eat her fill, stay warm, and even get a good night's sleep, she didn't want to leave this place and didn't want to suffer that kind of life again.

On the way back, Yanxi remained silent. Song Qianyi noticed that something was wrong with her, frowned, and wanted to ask him what had happened, but considering that it was her own business, she didn't say anything more.

She thought she would be back to normal by the next day, but she didn't expect that several days would pass and Yanxi's mood would become more and more depressed, and sometimes she would even be absent-minded.

Have you noticed that Yanxi has been acting strangely lately?

Lying in bed that night, Song Qianyi hesitated for a long time before finally asking the question.

The man raised an eyebrow. "I've noticed. It seems to have been like this ever since we came back from my parents' house."

However, he remembered that no one bullied her when she was in Songjiang, and the old couple liked her quite a bit.

After thinking for a moment, Song Qianyi realized that this was indeed the case, so she immediately called Song Qianyu and asked her to help ask the maid in the house what exactly happened that day.

There must be something she doesn't know.

Although Song Qianyu was curious, she did as she was told, seemingly feeling that since Song Qianyi and the others weren't home, the old couple spoke without restraint.
