Chapter 100

"Regarding this matter, you guys keep it a secret for now. Don't tell the younger ones. I need to discuss it with the nuns first, and I also need to buy a piece of land in Los Angeles, find a construction company to build a house, and get everything settled before I can let you move over."

Jin Xuntao chatted with the 'little friends' for a while and finally gave a very serious reminder.

Throughout this process, he had gone to great lengths to make the 'little friends' believe that he truly had the ability, rather than just putting on a brave face.

In response to Jin Xuntao's reminder, Selena and the other boys and girls all indicated that they would not say anything recklessly.

"Relax, William, we know what to say and what not to say. I'm really looking forward to the new home you're going to build for us. I hope I can have a single room, and it should be pink."

Although Selena still didn't quite believe what Jin Xuntao said, she jokingly expressed a small hope.

William smiled after hearing this: "I'll keep this little wish in mind," he said, tapping his heart.

At this moment, Selena's gaze turned to the distance, focusing on little Coco, who was in Annie's arms.

"Is that the child of you and Sister Xiaoxiao? I still remember how tiny she was when she was born. It seems like just yesterday, and now she's grown so much."

Tch, as if you're that old, talking so maturely. You're just a fourteen-year-old girl, okay.

Jin Xuntao couldn't help but smile inwardly.

But he still had to play along with Selena, pretending to recall the past 'days,' and said beside her, "Yes, when the little one was born, her little hands and feet were so tiny. Now look at her, she's grown so much."

"What's her name?"

"Her English nickname is Coco, and her Chinese nickname is Keke. I haven't decided on a formal name yet."

As Selena and Jin Xuntao talked about the daughter, the other little boys and girls quietly left, giving the two a chance to be alone.

Who knows what these little ones were thinking, but they actually understood such things.

At this moment, Selena also seemed to be lost in memories, her brown eyes filled with a faint sadness.

"I remember Sister Xiaoxiao once mentioned that she hoped the child would be called 'Cute.'"

What?

Cute?

Jin Cute, what kind of name is that!!

Moreover, Keke wasn't born to 'Xiaoxiao,' but to his wife 'Hui' from his previous life...

Jin Xuntao's heart was in turmoil, but his face remained calm.

Thinking of his wife 'Hui' from his previous life, Jin Xuntao also fell into a faint sadness, which changed his demeanor to match the current atmosphere.

Selena sensed the change in Jin Xuntao's demeanor and saw the natural sadness on his face, which made her heart ache.

Yes, in her distorted 'memories,' Selena had a crush on Jin Xuntao, this 'Brother William.'

Who knows why that Namekian elementary school student would do such a melodramatic thing.

But Jin Xuntao was still unaware of all this.

Even if he knew, what could he do?

It would only add to his troubles.

"Is that so? I didn't know Xiaoxiao had such thoughts."

Although he found it somewhat amusing, Jin Xuntao could only go along with Selena's words and continue the conversation.

Selena smiled bitterly: "That was something we girls said in jest, it can't be taken seriously. Now that the child only has you as her father, you should give her a good name in the future."

Jin Xuntao nodded: "Of course."

"Come, let's go see the little one. It's been almost a year since I last saw her," Selena tilted her head at Jin Xuntao, and the two walked over to Annie.

At this moment, Dave was directing the employees of the publishing house to unload books from the car and distribute them to the little children.

These little children were much younger than Selena, mostly between the ages of three and seven.

These children were the main group in the convent, numbering about forty.

Among them, a few children had intellectual disabilities or other health issues from birth, which was why their parents had abandoned them.

The children in the convent included white, black, Asian, and Indian children, a racial composition that was quite common in the United States.

Selena was already fourteen and would turn fifteen in a year, at which point she would have to consider leaving the convent and making a living on her own.

After all, the convent was not a formal orphanage, and due to poor economic conditions, it was inevitable that fifteen-year-olds would have to leave and fend for themselves.

In the fabricated history given to Jin Xuntao by the Namekian elementary school student, Jin Xuntao left the convent at fifteen with his 'early love girlfriend Xiaoxiao,' and the two began working to support their child...

Thinking about this, Jin Xuntao, walking beside Selena, looked at the girl who was focused on his daughter and felt a myriad of emotions.

At fifteen, stepping into society with insufficient survival skills and knowledge, how could a girl of that age survive?

Such a situation, even if one thought about it with common sense, would lead to some not-so-good jobs, and she would be exploited and deceived by certain people.

Once on such a path, a person's life would be ruined.

But such tragedies were happening all the time in reality.

It was truly too cruel.

Perhaps Selena had already made her own plans for such a situation.

But since he had come to this time and had a connection with these children, he had to take responsibility and could not just stand by.

He couldn't take care of all the children in the world, but he could take care of these children.

As he walked, Jin Xuntao considered this issue in his heart.

Jin Xuntao was well aware that he was not a saint, just an ordinary person.

But precisely because of this, he felt that as an ordinary person, he had to do his part for these children, rather than just donating some money and thinking he had done his duty.

He wanted to do something more concrete.

After all, he had a connection with these children.

Whether it was fate or destiny, Jin Xuntao had made up his mind to help these children.

Of course, the fact that he was also an orphan in his previous life influenced him and led him to make this decision.

As he walked and thought, Jin Xuntao accompanied Selena to Annie.

Selena stopped and looked at little Coco in Annie's arms, then smiled sweetly at her: "Little one, do you remember me? I saw you when you were born."

Little Coco, who had been very quiet in Annie's arms, thought seriously for a moment and then shook her head, saying in a baby voice: "I don't remember, Coco doesn't remember."

Selena, seeing this, put on a sad face, raised her hands to her heart, and looked at Coco 'sadly': "I'm so sad, you don't remember me."

Seeing Selena tease her daughter, Jin Xuntao smiled warmly.

Coco, seeing Selena's sad face, quickly said in a baby voice: "Don't be sad, Coco doesn't want you to be sad. We can be good friends, and Coco can remember you, don't be sad."

"Ha ha! The little one is so cute, I was just teasing you."

Selena burst into laughter and then stretched out her arms to Coco, clearly wanting to hold her.

Annie looked at Jin Xuntao, who nodded, indicating that it was fine for Selena to hold her, and Annie then handed little Coco over.

After Selena held little Coco in her arms, she placed the little one on the grass and started playing a tickling game with her.

Little Coco, who was clearly ticklish, laughed heartily, but she loved this game so much that when Selena stopped, she would pull Selena's hand to continue...

"Annie, I plan to donate some money to the convent, about half a million. I want to use the rest to buy a piece of land in Los Angeles and build a welfare home. After it's built, these children can move over. What do you think of this idea?"

Taking advantage of the moment when Selena was happily playing with the little one, Jin Xuntao revealed his plan to Annie.

Oh, doing private charity?

Annie supported Jin Xuntao's idea in her heart.

However, given her current role as a 'nanny,' she had little say in the matter.

So, she decided to involve Dave again.

Of course, in the end, it would still be her quietly supporting Jin Xuntao.

Therefore, after hearing Jin Xuntao's plan, Annie suggested to him: "It's a good idea, but you need to think carefully. Doing charity is a lot of work. Do you have the energy for it? And I think you should discuss this with Mr. Dave. He is very thorough in his thinking."

Jin Xuntao, after hearing this, thought carefully and then said to Annie very seriously: "I have thought it through very clearly and know how troublesome it is. But I still want to do it. I believe that with my current capabilities, taking care of these dozens of children is not a problem. Besides, the situation here in the convent is known. The nuns are all old, and even if I donate money to them, how much energy do they have? It would be better for me to take these children and give them a better environment. As for Mr. Dave, I will certainly seek his opinion. After all, I am too young and may not consider things as comprehensively as he does."

It was clear that Jin Xuntao had fully accepted Annie's suggestion.

"You watch the children here, and I'll go ask Mr. Dave what he thinks." Since he had decided to act, Jin Xuntao wanted to go and ask Dave right away.

Annie nodded at Jin Xuntao, and of course, she wouldn't stop him from seeking Dave's opinion.

"Go ahead, I'll watch the children. Sister Marcella has already been notified, and it will take some time for any news to come back."

Jin Xuntao then quickly went to Dave.

When Jin Xuntao told Dave his plan, Dave thought for a moment and then showed an excited expression, which left Jin Xuntao somewhat puzzled.

What's going on?

Why are you so excited about this?

Jin Xuntao couldn't understand why Dave was so excited.

The middle-aged Dave, with his Mediterranean hairstyle, looked excited and even a bit lecherous: "Support! I definitely support you! Go ahead with confidence. I even have a way to legally raise funds for you."

Dave, with his quick thinking, immediately saw the benefits of this plan.

If he didn't capitalize on such an opportunity, he would be doing himself a disservice.

So, he immediately expressed his support for Jin Xuntao's decision and even promised to legally raise funds to solve the children's future financial issues.
