Chapter 409 -398: Taking in Two Little Unfortunates
Qiao Jing frowned slightly and took a quick glance at the two children before asking with puzzlement in her voice.
“Your home? Where is your home?”
No matter how she looked at them, they didn’t seem like children who had a home. If they did, their parents wouldn’t let them end up like this.
Both of them had clothes riddled with holes and were filthy from head to toe. Their hair was also messy, and they were picking up bottles, an obvious sign of being homeless kids.
The little boy, feeling inferior, hung his head low, staring at his toes and nervously wringing his hands as he spoke.
“Our home is… under South Bridge…”
He and his sister had been homeless for as long as they could remember, usually sleeping in the dark space under South Bridge.
In Qiao Jing’s eyes, a hint of helplessness and sympathy appeared. She was about to reach out and gently touch the boy’s head when he dodged away.
The young boy covered his head with his hands and apologized.
“I’m sorry, sister. I forgot to move away earlier, which is why you touched my head. It’s been a few days since it rained, so my hair is really dirty because I haven’t washed it.”
Qiao Jing felt so heartbroken at the boy’s words.
“It’s okay, I’ll take you home to treat your wounds and have a bath. Is it alright if I send you to a welfare institution tomorrow?”
Perhaps it was because she had become a mother that she couldn’t bear such scenes even more now.
And the two kids were so sensible, how could she bear to let them continue to wander on the streets?
The boy’s eyes brightened at the mention of the welfare institution.
“Welfare institution? Can we go to the welfare institution too?”
Qiao Jing hummed in affirmation.
The two kids jumped for joy on the spot, a look of excitement on the little girl’s face.
“That’s great, brother! If we go to the welfare institution, we’ll have a place to live, and we won’t have to stay under South Bridge every day.
Moreover, I heard that the kids there eat really well, they don’t just eat steamed buns, they have meat and vegetables!”
A happy smile also spread across the little boy’s face.
“Then we won’t have to pick up bottles every day.”
Qiao Jing, watching the children’s joyous expressions, her eyes curved into a smile.

“You two need to rest at my house for the night, and I’ll take you there tomorrow.”
Hearing this, the joyful expression faded from the little boy’s face as he started to feel hesitant and troubled.
“But my sister and I are so dirty. If we go to your house, we’ll make it dirty.”
The little girl, who had bright eyes before, now looked dim and timidly hid behind her brother.
“Sister… We’re very dirty. Are you really going to take us to your house?”
Her brother was right; both she and her brother were dirty, and going to the sister’s house would dirty the furniture.
Qiao Jing took the children’s hands directly and led them towards the side of the road.
“It’s alright, I’ll take you back for a bath and you’ll be clean.”
She had already contacted someone earlier to have new clothes delivered to the apartment.
What was important was that the boy had wounds that needed to be treated quickly.
When Qiao Jing first took their hands, the children had drawn back their hands.
The siblings clung tightly to each other and followed behind Qiao Jing.
The little boy explained why they had reacted that way.
“Sister, thank you for offering to take us home, but our hands are very dirty, and we can walk by ourselves.”
The little girl nodded vigorously in agreement.
“Thank you, sister! We can walk on our own.”
Suddenly, the little boy remembered something, turned around, and looked back as if he wanted to return.
“Sister, I haven’t taken my bike yet.”
Qiao Jing didn’t insist on holding their hands and looked at the old, beaten bicycle not far away.
“That bicycle is too old. What if the brakes fail again and you have an accident on the road?”
She knew that the little boy cherished that sole bicycle, because it was the only possession he had to his name.
But she had to consider the safety of the two children. She had seen the bicycle; the brakes were completely gone, and it had to be stopped with feet.
And the bike chain was rusty, half hanging off, had Gu Jiahao kicked the bicycle just now, it would have surely fallen apart.
The little boy looked back at the bicycle reluctantly, hesitated for a long time, and then followed Qiao Jing’s steps.
Qiao Jing took the two children in a taxi and returned to Nantai Apartment.
After getting out of the car, Qiao Jing wanted to quickly bring them home to rest properly.
Furthermore, the little boy’s wound had already stopped bleeding, making it even harder to remove any gravel.
The two children were shocked speechless when they saw such a high-end complex and stood there stunned.
Seeing the children’s reactions, Qiao Jing stepped forward, took the hands of the two children, and this time used a bit of force so they couldn’t break free.
“We need to take care of the wounds quickly.”
When she arrived at her front door with the children, they seemed even more constrained.
Upon opening the door, the first person Qiao Jing saw was Zhan Qipei.
“How come you are back?”
She remembered that when Zhan Qipei had called her, he had said he was still at the office.
Just as Zhan Qipei was about to speak, he noticed the two dirty children beside Qiao Jing.
He furrowed his smoke-like, long eyebrows, his face showing confusion.
“I came back early. Who are they?”
Qiao Jing bent down to find two pairs of slippers to place at the entryway and gently pushed the two little “wooden figures” who were rigid in place.
“Change your shoes.”
The two children had been nervous at the doorway, and upon seeing Zhan Qipei, they became too frightened to move.
They looked at Qiao Jing as if seeking help.
Qiao Jing glanced at Zhan Qipei’s expressionless face, then at the tense children, and felt a mixture of amusement and distress.
“Zhan Qipei, you go to the living room first. I’ll explain in a minute,” she said.
She could see that the children were afraid of Zhan Qipei, after all, this man usually had a stern face.
Zhan Qipei’s brows drew even tighter together, but he did not stay where he was and walked towards the living room instead.
The wife is the most important thing in the world.
He couldn’t ignore what Qiao Jing said.
After Zhan Qipei left, the two children cautiously put on their slippers and stared with wide eyes as they took in Qiao Jing’s home.
Qiao Jing also changed her shoes and led the children into the living room. She turned to the little girl.
“I’ll take you to bathe first,” she said.
Meanwhile, the doorbell at the home rang.
Just as she was about to get up to answer the door, Zhan Qipei had already gone over.
Zhan Qipei came back holding a bag, placed it on the table, and asked again.
“Where did they come from?”
He saw that the bag contained two sets of children’s clothes and knew Qiao Jing intended to help the two children.
Upon hearing Zhan Qipei’s words, the children became even more restrained.
They were terrified of the tall man in front of them and ran to hide behind Qiao Jing.
Zhan Qipei pursed his thin lips and stared at the two children.
Qiao Jing took the bag from the man, removed a set of girls’ clothes,
“I’ll explain later,” she said and led the little girl to the bathroom. After adjusting the water temperature, she placed the clothes aside and instructed the girl,
“You can come out directly after the bath.”
The little girl nodded her small head.
Qiao Jing closed the bathroom door, and when she returned to the living room, she found the oddly matched pair, the tall man and the little boy, staring at each other.
But the little boy was sneakily looking at Zhan Qipei, quickly averting his gaze after a brief glance.
She could tell how scared the little boy was standing here alone after she had left.
Zhan Qipei stared at the little boy non-stop, knitting his eyebrows together.
