Chapter 161 A new member joins the family

"Haha, am I that magical? But it would be great if I could really cure Yingying's disease." Su Jiahe said.

"You can even summon the ancients, isn't that amazing?"

"Well... so, I am indeed quite unique."

After Su Jiahe obtained the system, he has been living a low-key life in seclusion in the city, and he almost forgot that he is different from others.

Two days after returning home, Su Jiahe received a call from Dean Chen.

"Ms. Su, are you busy now? Can I trouble you with something?" Dean Chen said carefully and politely on the phone.

"What's wrong? Is there not enough funds?"

"That's not the case. I'm disturbing you this time because of Yingying's matter."

"Is something wrong with Yingying?" Su Jiahe's heart tightened.

"Don't worry, she's fine. It's just that after you left last time, she became like before and never spoke again. Can I take her to play with you? Maybe you and this child will get along well and she can get better."

"Ah? Is that so?" Su Jiahe was stunned. She didn't expect that she was the only one who could make Yingying speak.

"Ms. Su, we'll try not to trouble you too much. If you have time, can I take her to your place?"

"Okay, I'm free anytime soon, and there's plenty of space here, so bring her over to play."

Su Jiahe readily agreed to Dean Chen's request. The next morning, Yingying, led by Dean Chen, came to Su Jiahe's villa.

"Ms. Su, I'm sorry to bother you." Dean Chen said apologetically.

"Don't be so polite, just call me Jiahe." After Su Jiahe said that, he bent down and greeted Yingying warmly.

When Yingying saw Su Jiahe, a gleam flashed in her big black eyes again. She actually let go of Dean Chen's hand and staggered to Su Jiahe.

"Yingying is indeed destined to be with you. I have never seen her so proactive towards anyone." Dean Chen said excitedly.

"Yingying, do you still remember me?" Su Jiahe touched Yingying's little face again.

Yingying stared at Su Jiahe, blinked her big eyes, and smiled innocently.

"Haha, Yingying is so cute." Su Jiahe carried Yingying to the sofa, took a cherry and put it in Yingying's hand.

Yingying looked at the cherries in her hand, then looked at Su Jiahe.

"This is the fruit Sister Su gave you. It's called cherries." Dean Chen said as he took the cherries from Yingying's hand, peeled out the core, and fed the cherry flesh into Yingying's mouth.

"She can't eat on her own. Because her condition is so special, I have been taking care of her personally all these years."

Yingying chewed the thick and juicy cherry flesh, swallowed it in one gulp, grabbed another cherry from the fruit bowl, and was about to put it in her mouth when she was stopped by Dean Chen.

"Yingying can't spit out the seeds or bones on her own, so she can easily swallow foreign objects."

Watching Dean Chen carefully removing the fruit core for Yingying, Su Jiahe felt both admiration and heartache.

How much effort does it take to take care of a child like this for many years?

"President Chen, you are such a good person." Wang Mang, who was also sitting aside, sighed.

After Yingying finished eating two cherries, she turned to look at Su Jiahe, moved her lips, and whispered, "Thank you, sister."

Hearing Yingying speak again, Dean Chen was so excited that he almost jumped up from the sofa.

"It's amazing, it's really amazing, Yingying will speak when she sees you."

"You're welcome." Su Jiahe touched Yingying's head.

"I don't know if you usually have time. It would be great if Yingying could spend more time with you. It really is more effective than any doctor."

“I’m available all the time, you can bring Yingying every day.” Su Jiahe felt that she might really be destined to be with Yingying. If that were the case, helping a sick child recover wouldn’t be a bad thing. “Jiahe, you’re such a kind person, thank you so much,” Dean Chen said gratefully.

"I'll take Yingying home to play. Our house is quite spacious."

Su Jiahe led Yingying into the courtyard. It was winter, and the grass and trees in the yard had withered. Only a few pots of newly bought daffodils stood at the foot of the wall, emitting a faint fragrance. Tangqiu, the cat, was lying on the steps, basking in the sun and licking his fur.

"Meow—" Seeing a stranger, Tangqiu stood up cautiously. Ever since Su Jiahe became rich, Tangqiu's food had become exceptionally good, and his body had also shrunk from a sturdy kitten to a ball of cotton.

Yingying looked at the round kitten in front of her, immediately squatted in front of the steps, and touched the fluffy fur of the kitten.

"Meow--" Sugar Ball did not reject Yingying, but rubbed her hand.

"That's great. Yingying is finally interested in the outside world. Our hospital has adopted many kittens and puppies, but Yingying never even looked at them before." Dean Chen said in surprise.

"It seems that my cat and Yingying get along very well."

"Yes, Yingying used to be completely unresponsive to everything, as if the world had nothing to do with her. Only with you did she become a little more lively."

"Ah? Is it so magical?" Su Jiahe was increasingly unable to explain what was happening.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon and everyone returned to the villa for lunch break. They happened to see Dean Chen and Yingying.

"What a beautiful little sister, what's your name?" Liu Ziluan was the first to step forward and greet her excitedly.

Yingying blinked and said nothing.

Dean Chen explained Yingying's situation to everyone. After listening, everyone felt sorry for Yingying.

"Since Yingying likes it here, let her stay. There are children to play with her," Wang Mang suggested.

"No, that won't work. Yingying is very difficult to take care of. How can I trouble you?" Dean Chen immediately declined.

"I'll take care of her. I'm so old and have no children, so it's boring for me to stay at home." Wang Mang volunteered.

"Brother Wang, do you have any experience?" Su Jiahe knew that Wang Mang was a caring person, but she was not very confident about his unreliable style.

"Well, experience can be accumulated, and Yingying is very well behaved."

"Old man, you are old, I can't let you suffer."

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired. And don't call me old man, just call me Xiao Wang. I'm not that old."

The two sides argued endlessly, and finally, Su Jiahe proposed a win-win solution, which was to ask a staff member from the welfare home to live with Yingying at home.

"You are such good people. Thank you for caring so much about Yingying." Dean Chen said, and bowed deeply to everyone to express his gratitude.

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. You are a good dean and you love Yingying so much. It is our duty to help you." Su Jiahe hurriedly helped Dean Chen up.

Since the hotel was not accepting new tourists for the time being, Su Jiahe cleaned up the guest room and let Yingying and her accompanying Aunt Yang stay there.

At dinner time, everyone held a small welcome ceremony for Yingying.

"From now on, Yingying will be our new member." Su Jiahe said to everyone.

"Welcome Yingying!" Everyone raised the juice in their hands and clinked glasses with Yingying to celebrate.

Yingying seemed to understand what everyone meant. She also held up the cup with her two little hands and clinked glasses with everyone one by one.

"Yingying is very smart. She learned it so quickly." Su Jiahe gave Yingying a thumbs up.

Yingying looked at Su Jiahe and suddenly said, "Sister, thank you for letting me live here."

Suddenly, everyone at the table fell silent. Aunt Yang was even more shocked, looking at Yingying with disbelief.

"Yingying, have you learned to speak by yourself?"
