Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069: She Believes in Shen Chi Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069: She Believes in Shen Chi Bai Man’s face was gloomy, and although she trusted Shen Chi, she also trusted her assistant.

“Miss Bai, I checked, and the situation is indeed so. If you are not reassured, you can send someone to check again. Or, you can call President Shen,” the assistant said, her voice lowering towards the end.

“Go and check again!” Bai Man insisted, not giving up, “Is it because the team from Germany didn’t come tonight, so the meeting was postponed?”

“Alright, I’ll go check again,” the assistant agreed.

Bai Man was agitated and frustrated. She hung up the phone, threw it onto the passenger seat, stepped on the gas, and drove directly to the welfare institute.

Her mood was terrible tonight, having gained nothing from Xu Chaomu, and receiving no friendly gestures from Shen Chi either.

Yet his tone today didn’t seem like he was lying to her; she couldn’t overthink it.

During this period, he had been very caring towards her, and his attitude had also been very favorable; she couldn’t start doubting him over one small issue. Otherwise, he might dislike her.

Thus, Bai Man suppressed her impulse and did not call Shen Chi.

Before long, her car arrived at the Welfare Institute.

The Welfare Institute was located beside a lake with a pleasing environment, very open all around. It was not near a business center or factories, so the area was very quiet.

Especially at night, only the streetlights within the Welfare Institute were quietly lit, with no voices or noise to be heard.

One could even hear the gentle ripples of the lake.

Bai Man expertly parked her car in front of the Welfare Institute and walked out, carrying her bag.

She looked up to see the words “Little Red Flower Welfare Institute” on the gate of the Welfare Institute, now obscured in the darkness, losing the brilliant gloss it had during the day.

It was close to eight o’clock, and there were hardly any people around.

The gates of the Welfare Institute were still open, and she walked straight in.

“Miss Bai is here,” the security guard greeted Bai Man with a smile and a nod.

“Yes, Grandpa Yang, still guarding the gate?”

“Not yet time to lock up,” the elder replied. “Miss Bai, are you here to see the kids?”

The principal, teachers, security guards, and cleaning ladies at the Welfare Institute all liked Bai Man because she often brought things for the kids, and if their families had kids too, she would also bring them some gifts.

Therefore, everyone welcomed her.

“I just had dinner nearby and thought it was close by, so I came to have a look,” Bai Man smiled. “I didn’t bring anything for the kids.”

“It’s enough for them that you came to see them. They have been asking me when Auntie Bai would come. It’s been a few days.”

Bai Man smiled: “I missed them too, I’ll go have a look.”

“Go ahead, they’re about to sleep.”

“Alright.”

Bai Man smiled and walked inside; it was indeed very quiet, almost no sound to be heard.

The children slept early, and she guessed everyone was probably in bed by now.

She walked outside a few dormitories, when she met a few teachers, she stopped to chat with them.

Actually, Bai Man wasn’t very interested in talking to them; in her eyes, she didn’t have much in common with these teachers.

But outwardly, she maintained her smile.

Even a few female teachers couldn’t help but praise her as a goddess, not only beautiful but also kind-hearted.

“Have the children gone to sleep?” Bai Man asked.

“I guess they are all asleep, maybe a few who love reading are still reading,” one teacher said.

“Oh, then I won’t disturb them. I’ll just look around and leave soon.”

“It’s no problem, Miss Bai, take your time, the children also miss you.”

Bai Man smiled: “I miss them too, it’s just not the right time today. I’ll definitely come and visit them another day, bringing them some tasty treats.”

“That would be wonderful, Miss Bai, they would be so delighted if I told them tomorrow. These kids always look forward to your visits.”

“You are also working hard, get some rest early, no need to keep me company; I’ll just walk around alone.”

After saying that, Bai Man actually did take a stroll around by herself without letting the teachers accompany her.

The Welfare Institute was quite large; after walking through this area, she headed toward a dormitory building that housed younger children.

Walking under the dim streetlights, her shadow was elongated by the light, her skirt gently fluttering in the evening breeze.

As she walked, her assistant called again.

“Miss Bai, I checked again, and the situation is indeed true: President Shen did not attend the meeting, and moreover, he is at Waterside Pavilion.”

Upon hearing this news, Bai Man clenched her teeth in anger and didn’t speak for a long while.

“Is there anything else?”

“There’s nothing else. No Germans arrived, but it might also be possible that their plane was delayed and they couldn’t make it, hence why President Shen returned to Waterside Pavilion.”

The assistant was trying her best to ease the situation, still hoping Bai Man would trust Shen Chi.

“I understand.”

“Miss Bai, don’t worry too much, there must be a reason, and President Shen treats you so well,” the assistant said.

“Hang up.”

Bai Man didn’t wait for her to continue speaking and hung up the phone.

She felt a bit uneasy; she did trust Shen Chi, and he must have had his reasons for returning to Waterside Pavilion. But, since those Germans hadn’t arrived, why hadn’t he called her? Why didn’t he come and spend time with her?

Thinking of this made her even more upset.

But if she called him now to confront him, and it turned out she was overthinking, it would seem petty of her.

After weighing the options, she decided to suppress her instincts and ask about it another day.

But this simmering resentment had nowhere to vent, and she bit her lip, heading towards the lower levels of a dormitory.

She walked over and knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” a middle-aged woman’s voice came from inside.

“It’s me, Bai Man.”

“Oh, Miss Bai, come in.”

The woman got off the bed, turned on the lights, and then opened the door.

“Miss Bai, it’s so late, what brings you here?” the woman smiled.

“I came to see the children, there’s no wrong time for that, right?” Bai Man responded with a smile as she walked into the room.

As she entered, she closed the door and sat on the sofa in the room.

“Yes, yes, that’s right. I know you are the kindest, but at this hour, most kids are probably asleep. That little one is asleep too,” said the woman as she looked into a small room inside.

“Hmm, basically everyone is asleep; the Welfare Institute is very quiet, there aren’t many lights on in the dormitory,” Bai Man said nonchalantly.

“If the kids knew you came tonight, they would definitely be happy. They are always hoping you would come.”

“I know, I’ll come again another day to see them. Tonight, I particularly came to see you.”

As Bai Man said this, she looked up at the woman.
