Liang Youli had planned to escape after threatening the dean or spreading rumors. However, she didn't expect the dean to be so clingy and stubborn, "I've already said it! Talk to Liang Yan about this matter. I don't have the authorities to decide."
Liang Youli tried to break free her arms. She could not understand how a dean who looked so old could have such a firm grip.
"No! You're not allowed to leave! I will never give up the welfare home!" The dean's hair was messy, and tears were rolling down her cheeks. Her usual gentle appearance was gone. She must have experienced something heartbreaking that made her ignore her image.
Tears that shimmered in Liang Yan's eyes rolled down her cheeks. She rushed forward and forcefully pulled the two of them apart, "Mother! It's me. It's Liang Yan!"
Liang Yan's heart ached terribly. She wanted to hug the dean immediately and comfort her. However, the dean pushed her away.
"How dare you come back! I've raised you for so many years, yet you repaid me with this. How dare you betray us because of men and money!" The dean covered her chest in grief as her heartbeat raced and exceeded the normal range. Headache stuck her. As she felt her vision go dark, she fell to the ground.
"Mother!"
"Dean! Are you alright?"
The other children in the welfare home immediately rushed towards the dean. All of them looked worried, including Liang Yan. However, the children who were usually closest to Liang Yan now looked at Liang Yan with hatred.
"It's all your fault! Mother treated you like her own. Why did you do this?"
"Sister, you are usually kind to us. Why did you do this?"
Everyone was blaming Liang Yan as if she had done something unforgivable.
"What... what did I do?" Liang Yan muttered. She did not say it out loud because she thought she had indeed done something wrong. Just as she was at a loss, a hand patted her shoulder lightly. It was Huo Qingning. He called for an ambulance and comforted Liang Yan.
The ambulance arrived soon. Although Liang Yan was worried about her dean, the children did not allow her to follow them in the ambulance. She had no choice but to follow behind the ambulance in Huo Qingning's car.
Liang Youli took the opportunity to escape, but Huo Qingning stopped her, "Show your sincerity if your family still wants to have some business corporation with our family. I'll wait for you at the hospital."
Huo Qingning left after saying that. Liang Youli stood rooted to the ground. She gritted his teeth in anger when she realized what Huo Qingning meant. He had ruined her plans again and again. Thinking about the power and status of the Huo family, she had no choice but to follow Huo Qingning and Liang Yan to the hospital.
The dean was alright because the rescue was timely. She was just a little shocked. In addition, she was getting older, which led to arrhythmia. The doctor could discharge her in a few days. Liang Yan did not enter the dean's ward for the past few days, afraid that she might anger the dean. After a few days, when the dean's condition improved, the kid from the welfare home who stayed by the dean's side said that Liang Yan could visit the dean.
"Hold on," Huo Qingning smiled and said, "Liang Youli is going in with you."
Liang Yan didn't have time to pay attention to Liang Youli during the past few days. She didn't know what happened in the welfare home that day. Just as she was wondering why, Huo Qingning gave Liang Yan a look as if he was saying, "Don't worry. I'm here with you."
