The woman was crying pitifully. It was the peak hour after work. She blocked the road and attracted a large number of onlookers.
Not long after, a silent child who was about 1.2 meters tall and dressed in even more tattered clothes arrived beside her.
The child was extremely thin and weak. He lowered his head in silence, and the left sleeve of his shirt was empty.
The scene of the orphan and widow attracted the sympathy of many people.
“Alright, alright. Auntie, don’t cry. We’ll donate some money to you. Bring the child to buy some food. See how hungry the child is.”
“Thank you!!” The woman kept kowtowing to the people around her. “There are still kind people in the world. Thank you so much. Come, Gouwa, kowtow to them.”
The woman pinched the child beside her. Although the little boy did not speak, there was obvious pain in his eyes. He obediently knelt down and kowtowed to the people around him.
Everyone looked at the child’s malnutrition and felt even more sympathetic. In just a while, the bowl in front of the woman had already piled up with more than a thousand dollars.
This matter was recorded by reporters who passed by, edited into news, and posted online.
The scene of everyone helping the begging mother and son was reposted by extremely important news media and promoted as a classic example of positive society.

After Xia Wanyuan left Qing University, she prepared to return to the manor. The car was halfway there.
“Madam, is that someone you know?” the chauffeur suddenly asked.
Xia Wanyuan pulled herself out of her complicated thoughts and looked out of the window. Beside the horse road, beside an abandoned car, sat a person. He had an extremely gentle side profile, and the sunlight cast a soft arc on him.
“Let’s go and take a look.”
“Okay.” The chauffeur drove over.
Xia Wanyuan got out of the car and looked at the ruined car. It was obvious that someone had knocked into it. “What’s wrong with you?”
“I bumped into Wei Yu and the rest just now.” Wei Zimu heard Xia Wanyuan’s voice but did not look up. He seemed to be in very low spirits as he pursed his lips. “I’m waiting for the tow truck to come. It’s okay, Sister Wanyuan.”
“Let me give you a ride.”
“Won’t that be too troublesome for you?” Wei Zimu finally looked up. Unlike usual, Wei Zimu was wearing a pair of thick glasses today. Under the dim light of the setting sun, his eyes behind the glasses were blurred.
A strange feeling flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s heart, but she did not show it on her face.
Wei Zimu got into the car with Xia Wanyuan.
“Didn’t you say you were going on a business trip to Continent F? Why are you still in Beijing?”
Xia Wanyuan rolled down the car window. The evening breeze blew in from outside, carrying a faint fragrance from Xia Wanyuan.
Wei Zimu’s eyes flashed behind his glasses, and his gentle voice sounded. “Someone else was seng go Continent F. I don’t have to go.”
“Oh, okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.
“I just realized that your calligraphy and paintings are especially outstanding, Sister Wanyuan. If there’s a chance, can you let me admire them too?”
“No problem. I’ll give you one for your birthday.” Xia Wanyuan replied Jun Shiling while talking to Wei Zimu.
Wei Zimu’s voice rose a little. “You remember my birthday?”
“Didn’t you tell me last time?” Xia Wanyuan turned her head and asked in confusion.
“No, Sister Wanyuan, you must have remembered wrongly. I didn’t tell you my birthday. Didn’t we talk about the old lady’s birthday last time?” Wei Zimu smiled gently and was extremely certain.
“Oh, then perhaps I remembered wrongly.” Xia Wanyuan did not argue further and naturally continued.
However, she was a little suspicious. She kept feeling that something was wrong, but this person seemed to be really Wei Zimu. After all, no one was present when they were chatting.
Soon, the car arrived at the Wei family’s courtyard. Wei Zimu got out of the car and smiled gently at Xia Wanyuan. “Thank you, Sister Wanyuan. I’ll bring you the peach blossom cake from Beijing next time. It’s very delicious.”
“Bye.” Xia Wanyuan waved at him.
“Mm, bye.” Wei Zimu waved and walked into the Wei family.
The Old Madam ate vegetarian and chanted Buddhism all year round and did not eat with the juniors. Hence, the juniors had always gathered in the Wei family’s dining room.
When Wei Zimu entered the dining room, everyone was almost done eating. There was only some leftovers.
“Hey, Young Master Wei is back. Butler, aren’t you going to scoop rice for Young Master Wei?” Wei Yu looked at the dust on Wei Zimu’s pants mockingly.
A dog picked up by the Wei family was actually going against us for Xia Wanyuan.
Wei Zimu sat at the table and leaned back in his chair.
The servant scooped some leftover rice and brought it to him.
“Brother Wei, we left you food. You came back late yourself. Don’t cry and complain to the Old Madam.” Wei Yu’s words made everyone laugh.
Without the Old Madam around, everyone mocked this adopted son of the Wei family who would share their inheritance.
Anyway, Wei Zimu had always been gentle. No matter what he did, he would not complain to the Old Madam. Hence, everyone became even more impudent.
“Hurry up and eat. What are you waiting for? Old Madam will be waiting for our meeting later!” Wei Yu urged from the side. These dishes were “meticulously” prepared for Wei Zimu.
Wei Zimu looked at the pile of leftover bones on the table and the pile of gravy on it. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. He raised his right hand and removed the heavy lens, revealing a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes.
However, there was no warmth in his eyes.
His clothes were tattered from the car accident, and he should have been in an extremely sorry state.
However, the current Wei Zimu seemed to have changed into a different person. His tattered clothes could not hide his strong and noble aura. His entire person exuded coldness from the inside out. His originally extremely warm smile had lost its gentleness because of those cold eyes, making one unable to help but be shocked when they looked at him.
Wei Yu’s heart turned cold when she met that gaze. The others were also shocked by Wei Zimu’s sudden aura.
However, Wei Zimu did not say or do anything. He only smiled and looked at everyone present. Then, he put on the heavy glasses again, stood up, and walked out the door, blending into the darkness.
This time, no one stopped him.
