Chapter 423: Growing Up in Warmth and Love

"I wonder, isn't the United States the freest country in the world? Its economy is completely open and free to compete, and it is precisely because of this advantage that the United States became the world's largest economy and the fastest economic development country in the late 19th century, and Wall Street also became the world's financial center. Yes, I made a fortune during last year's stock market crash, and I have never denied that. ”

"But my behavior is completely in line with the rules of market competition and U.S. federal law, as long as I abide by federal law, my behavior should be recognized and protected by federal law, and I believe that even if the first officer of the Supreme Court is here, he will agree with my words."

"So I don't agree with the word 'plunder' that you use, because it carries with it an inherent illegitimacy, such as the colonial plunder of some countries over the past few hundred years. Of course, no matter what I say, many Americans will think that I made them lose their wealth and even their relatives in the stock market crash, and I can understand those who think this way, but anyone with a little economic knowledge knows that even without me, the stock market crash would have been inevitable, and the wealth that had been steamed would have fallen into other people's pockets. ”

"But I believe that only a minority of people think this way, and to put it mildly, if most Americans had this idea, then the United States would not be the America it is today, and the Statue of Liberty would not still be standing on Liberty Island at the mouth of the Hudson River."

"Pat the ......" At this time, a burst of applause attracted everyone's attention, only to see Jonathan step forward and say with a smile on his face: "Mr. Gu is right, freedom is the foundation of the United States, in the stock market crash last year, Mr. Gu just did what a successful businessman should do, I personally think we should not vent the dissatisfaction and resentment of losing wealth to Mr. Gu." ”

Gu Chen looked at his watch, the time was almost the same, so he nodded at Jonathan, and then said to the reporter, "Okay." That's the end of the reporter's questions, and the listing ceremony of the welfare institute will start in a short time, and I will have the opportunity to discuss it with you later. ”

The listing ceremony officially began at 9 o'clock, the whole process was very simple, without too many cumbersome steps, and ended in less than half an hour, and then Gu Chen and Jonathan visited the children in the welfare home together. Perhaps because of the fact that they have only been in the welfare home for a few days, these children are thinner than ordinary people, look like they have been malnourished for a long time, and some of them are afraid of timidity, but each of them seems to be in a good mental state.

In a room with two small wooden beds, Gu Chen saw the little white girl. What surprised him was that they were actually twins, with snow-white skin, golden heads, pink and jade, and a very bright and lovely smile, but who would have thought that such a pair of twin little girls who were as cute as angels would be orphans who were ruthlessly abandoned by their parents.

"Mommy." The little girl who was playing saw Grace who accompanied Gu Chen in, and immediately cheered. Ran into Grace's arms, maybe Grace is not their biological mother, but this welfare home has given them a new home, and Grace, as the dean, dotes on them like a kind mother and loves them, so in their hearts, Grace is their mother.

Grace stroked the heads of the two little girls with a loving face, and pointed to Gu Chen next to her. "This uncle is the one who built this big house, and Anna and Catherine should not thank their uncle, otherwise we wouldn't have lived in such a beautiful big house." ”

The two little girls were very sensible, and when they heard Grace say this, they immediately bowed to Gu Chen hand in hand, and said in unison in a milky voice: "Thank you, uncle, for building us such a beautiful big house." Such a well-behaved and sensible appearance made Gu Chen love it.

I can't help but think of Barbara and Jenner, who I haven't seen for a long time, who are also twins. It was also so cute and well-behaved, and suddenly an uncanny thought popped into the depths of his mind, and it was out of control, and the smile on his face became softer. I saw him squatting down, kissing the two little girls on the face, and said with a smile: "No thanks, this is what an uncle should do." ”

After saying that, he stood up and turned to Jonathan, who was standing behind him, and asked, "Mr. Jonathan, if I want to adopt them, do I need any formalities?" ”

This sentence stunned everyone present, including the two reporters who were allowed to follow behind to take pictures, and after a while, the two reporters were excited, you must know that Gu Chen is not an ordinary person, his adoption of orphans and ordinary people's adoption of orphans are absolutely incomparable, if he really adopts these two little girls, it is tantamount to completely changing their fate, from orphans living at the bottom of society to the daughter of the richest man in the world, completely a realistic version of Cinderella to Snow White's sharp change.

At this time, Jonathan also came back to his senses, he first looked at Gu Chen's twin sisters who were looking at Gu Chen curiously with a pair of beautiful big eyes, and then asked in a surprised and uncertain tone: "I heard me right, Mr. Gu, are you sure you want to adopt them?" ”

"Why, isn't it U.S. law that foreigners don't allow to adopt American orphans?" Gu Chen's expression was puzzled, he really didn't know much about the laws in the United States in this regard.

"No, of course not, I'm just a little surprised by Mr. Gu's decision, if you really want to adopt them, I can handle the formalities for you right away." After making sure that Gu Chen was not joking, a smile resurfaced on Jonathan's face, whether it was from the humanitarian side or from the political side, Gu Chen adopted two little American girls as daughters, which was what he was willing to see.

"Thank you, Mr. Jonathan, then." After Gu Chen thanked Jonathan, he squatted down again, with what he thought was the softest smile on his face, and said, "Uncle has been here for so long and I don't know your name, can you introduce yourself to your uncle?" ”

The girl standing on the left, who seemed to be quieter, was a little timid, pinched the corners of her clothes with her little hands, lowered her head slightly, and said, "I'm my sister Anna." ”

In contrast, the girl on the right will be slightly more cheerful and lively, and a pair of eyes will always be staring at Gu Chen: "I'm my sister Catherine." ”

Gu Chen smiled slightly and asked, "Then uncle asks you a question, if uncle wants to take you out of here and live with your uncle in the future, are you willing?" After a pause, fearing that his words would not be convincing, he continued: "My uncle's house has a very large garden, a small lake like something from a fairy tale, and many cute little animals like alpacas and squirrels, which you will surely enjoy." ”

It may be a kind of self-hypnosis, the more he looks at the two little girls, the more he likes it in his heart, and he really feels that his decision is the right one. In fact, in addition to liking it from the heart, he also has another deeper consideration, if his donation to build a welfare home can change Americans' impression of him, then his adoption of two white orphans in the United States can undoubtedly maximize this change, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing Gu Chen 'seducing' the two little girls like this, Jonathan couldn't help but smile, and Grace on the side also smiled, but her smile was full of reluctance, among the more than a dozen orphans in the current welfare home, she had the deepest relationship with Anna and Catherine, just like her own daughter, but no matter how reluctant she was, she couldn't refuse Gu Chen's request to adopt Anna and Catherine.

Not only could she not refuse, but if Anna and Catherine did not agree, she had to try to persuade them, because the best outcome for orphans living in welfare homes was to be adopted and have a complete home. And being adopted by a rich man like Gu Chen is Anna and Catherine's luck.

The two little girls looked at Grace at the same time, what was surprising was that there was no ignorance in their eyes, only attachment and reluctance, obviously they could understand the meaning of Gu Chen's words, perhaps it was the misfortune of life that made them much more precocious than ordinary peers.

Grace squatted down, stretched out her hands and hugged Anna and Catherine tightly in her arms, and said in a tone full of love and depression: "Baby, go, you can start a new life when you get there, you will be able to have a warm home again, and Mommy will miss you forever." ”

Seeing Grace who was talking and her eyes gradually becoming moist, and the two little girls who were lying in Grace's arms and sobbing softly, Gu Chen suddenly felt a sense of guilt, as if he was the executioner who broke them up. However, he also knew that a beautiful and cute twin girl like Anna and Catherine, even if he didn't adopt it today, would not be long before someone else would adopt it, which was their best choice.

He didn't speak, silently and Jonathan exited the room, leaving them space and time to say their final goodbyes, and when he gently closed the door, the female reporter of the "Herald Leader" immediately asked: "Mr. Gu, can you tell us why you suddenly want to adopt those two girls?" ”

Gu Chen said with a faint smile: "There is no special reason, just very simple like, I feel very close to them, I am very doubtful that the two people who abandoned them have a problem with their heads, no normal person would do such a cruel thing to such a lovely girl, so I want to give them a home, a complete childhood, and let them grow up in the arms of warmth and love." ”

The female reporter also seemed to be very touched, and said emotionally: "I also think they are really cute, they are beautiful angels, and the parents who ruthlessly abandoned them will regret it for the rest of their lives, and I sincerely hope that they will not be sad and lonely in their future lives, only joy and beauty." ”
