~7 min read 1,336 words

Seeing Ye Chen, Li Xiaofen's face was full of happiness and surprise.

She ran quickly towards Ye Chen, grabbed Ye Chen's arm with both hands like before, and asked coquettishly: "Brother Ye Chen, why haven't you come back to the welfare institute to see us for so long?"

Ye Chen was grabbed by her arm, but didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, like an older brother, he said with pampering: "I haven't been doing well since I went out, so I was embarrassed to come back to the welfare institute to see you."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaofen's big eyes immediately turned red, and she choked up: "Auntie Li told us that you have been working at construction sites since you went out, and you were very hard-working. You sent all the money you earned to Auntie Li, letting Auntie Li buy us books, clothes, and food, but you never came back to see me. It's been so many years, and I haven't seen you again..."

As she spoke, Li Xiaofen shed tears and said: "When Auntie Li was sick, I heard Auntie Li say that you often went to see her, but every time you went after we left. You deliberately hid and didn't want to see us. You don't know how uncomfortable we younger brothers and sisters felt..."

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Ever since he left the welfare institute, he hadn't lived a good life. He had been busy at construction sites, working 365 days a year without rest. Except for filling his own stomach, all the money he earned was sent to Auntie Li.

The reason he didn't want to return to the welfare institute was because he was doing too poorly at that time, and he didn't want these younger brothers and sisters who hadn't entered society yet to see his down-and-out appearance, which would set a bad example for them later.

Later, he married into the Xiao family and became a famous live-in son-in-law in Jin Ling, so he was even more embarrassed to return to the welfare institute.

Knowing that Auntie Li was sick, he was more worried and distressed than anyone else, and he cared more than anyone else.

He was still a bit embarrassed to face these buddies from the welfare institute.

Later, although he had money and got 10 billion from the Ye family and also got the Dihao Group, Auntie Li hadn't been at the welfare institute during this period, so he hadn't come back.

After Ye Chen had money, he actually always had the idea of donating to the welfare institute, just waiting for Auntie Li to return, and then he would find a suitable reason and excuse to donate a large sum of money to the welfare institute.

The reason he agreed to come with everyone to welcome Auntie Li today, besides wanting to see Auntie Li, was actually to see what way he could donate a sum of money to the welfare institute without being suspected.

Xiao Churan was also following Ye Chen back to the welfare institute for the first time, so it was also her first time seeing Li Xiaofen.

While she was surprised by Li Xiaofen's youth and beauty, she also felt that Li Xiaofen seemed a bit too intimate with her husband.

However, she quickly comforted herself that this little girl looked like a little sister who grew up following Ye Chen, treating Ye Chen like her own brother, so it wasn't abnormal to be a little intimate.

Seeing Li Xiaofen crying non-stop, Ye Chen said: "Xiaofen, Brother hasn't been doing well these years, and I didn't want you to see Brother's down-and-out appearance. But it's different now. Brother is living quite well now, and finally has the face to come back to see you."

As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Churan's hand and said with a smile: "Come, let me introduce you. This is your sister-in-law. How is it, is she beautiful?"

Xiao Churan was suddenly held by Ye Chen's hand, and she felt a little nervous. Although she and Ye Chen had been married for more than three years, to be honest, the two didn't have many intimate actions.

However, she didn't pull her hand back, just letting him hold it.

Li Xiaofen looked at Xiao Churan, and in her originally sad eyes, a look of envy suddenly appeared.

Looking at Xiao Churan, she couldn't help but feel a bit inferior.

Although she looked good, compared to Xiao Churan, she felt she was a bit behind.

Moreover, she was just an orphan with no father, no mother, and no one to rely on. Her work at the welfare institute now was half work and half public welfare, and she couldn't earn much money.

Even with the limited savings, she, like Ye Chen, donated everything to the welfare institute, so she was just a poor little girl.

In this way, she felt that compared to a workplace woman like Xiao Churan, she was naturally much worse.

Carrying an envious heart, she said to Xiao Churan with some nervousness: "Hello sister-in-law, nice to meet you, my name is Li Xiaofen."

Xiao Churan nodded and said with a smile: "Hello Xiaofen, my name is Xiao Churan."

Li Xiaofen looked at Xiao Churan and sighed: "Sister-in-law, I really envy you!"

As she spoke, she looked at Ye Chen again and said: "I envy you for being able to find such a good man as my Brother Ye Chen!"

Ye Chen suddenly felt embarrassed.

He thought Li Xiaofen would say she envied Xiao Churan for being beautiful, or envied her for her figure and temperament. He didn't expect her to envy Xiao Churan for finding him...

As expected of a younger sister who grew up following his butt, even knowing he was penniless, she still thought he was incredibly good.

Xiao Churan couldn't help but laugh and cry when she heard this.

Li Xiaofen said very seriously: "Sister-in-law, Brother Ye Chen is the best man I have ever seen in this world. You must treat him well! He has been very responsible since he was a child, especially taking care of us younger brothers and sisters. After leaving the welfare institute at eighteen, he has been working hard at construction sites, and all the money he earned was given to us younger brothers and sisters to improve our lives and support our studies. Among the many people raised by the welfare institute, only Brother Ye Chen is so grateful! Sister-in-law, tell me, is Brother Ye Chen the best man in the world?"

Xiao Churan was surprised.

She only knew that Ye Chen's life was very bitter before marrying her, and that he was found by his grandfather at a construction site, but she didn't know that Ye Chen had been working at a construction site at eighteen, and even more, she didn't know that Ye Chen had donated all his money to the welfare institute.

No wonder when she married him, he was penniless, and even the money for a haircut before the wedding was asked from his grandfather.

Combined with his crazy fundraising for Auntie Li's medical treatment, Xiao Churan suddenly felt that this husband of hers actually had a great side!

She couldn't help but ask Ye Chen: "Why have you never told me about these?"

Ye Chen said indifferently: "Hey, what's there to talk about in the days of poverty?"

After speaking, Ye Chen didn't want to talk more about this topic, so he hurriedly changed the subject and asked Li Xiaofen: "By the way, Xiaofen, where is Auntie Li?"

Li Xiaofen said: "Auntie Li is talking to the dean about some work matters. She said to let me come over to entertain you first, and she will come over in a while."

As she spoke, Li Xiaofen asked with full expectation: "Brother Ye Chen, do you want to go into the welfare institute to see? You haven't been back for a long time!"
