Chapter 484: The Best Man in the World
Seeing Ye Chen, Li Xiaofen's face was full of happiness and surprise.
She ran quickly toward Ye Chen, and like before, grabbed Ye Chen's arm with both hands, and asked coquettishly: "Brother Ye Chen, why haven't you come back to the welfare institute to see us for such a long time?"
Ye Chen was grabbed by her arm, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, like an older brother, he said with pampering: "I haven't been doing well since I went out, so how could I have the face to come back to the welfare institute to see you all."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaofen's big eyes immediately turned red, and she choked up: "Aunt Li told us all, saying that you have been working at construction sites since you went out, and it was very hard. You sent all the money you earned to Aunt Li, letting Aunt 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 Aunt Li was sick, I heard Aunt Li say that you often went to see her, but every time it was after we left that you went. You deliberately hid and didn't want to see us. You don't know how sad 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 really hadn't lived a good life. He had been busy at construction sites before, working 365 days a year without rest. Except for filling his own stomach, all the money he earned was sent to Aunt Li.
The reason he didn't want to return to the welfare institute was that 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 felt even more embarrassed to return to the welfare institute.
Knowing Aunt Li was sick, he was more worried and distressed than anyone else, and more concerned than anyone else.
He still felt a bit embarrassed to face these buddies from the welfare institute.
Later, although he had money and got the 10 billion from the Ye family and the Dihao Group, Aunt 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 Aunt 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 give Aunt Li a welcome reception today, besides wanting to see Aunt 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 obviously grew up following Ye Chen as a little sister, treating Ye Chen like her own brother, so it wasn't abnormal to be a bit intimate.
Seeing Li Xiaofen crying non-stop, Ye Chen said: "Xiaofen, brother hasn't been doing well these past few years, and 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 all."
As he spoke, he took 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 pretty?"
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 somewhat sad eyes, a look of envy suddenly appeared.
Looking at Xiao Churan, she couldn't help but feel a bit inferior.
Although she looked pretty good, compared to Xiao Churan, she felt she was still a bit behind.
Moreover, she was just an orphan with no parents and no one to rely on. Her current job at the welfare institute was half work and half public welfare, and she couldn't earn much money.
Even the limited savings she had, she, like Ye Chen, donated them all to the welfare institute, so she was just a penniless little girl.
As a result, she felt that compared to a workplace woman like Xiao Churan, she was naturally much worse.
With an envious heart, she said to Xiao Churan a bit nervously: "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 like my Brother Ye Chen!"
Ye Chen suddenly felt embarrassed.
He had thought Li Xiaofen would say she envied Xiao Churan for being pretty, or envied her for her good figure and temperament. He didn't expect her to envy Xiao Churan for finding him...
As expected of a little sister who grew up following his butt, even knowing he was penniless, she still thought he was great.
Hearing this, Xiao Churan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
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 used to improve the lives of us younger brothers and sisters and support our studies. Back then, the welfare institute raised so many people, and Brother Ye Chen is the only one who is so grateful! Sister-in-law, tell me, is my Brother Ye Chen the best man in the world?"
Xiao Churan was surprised.
She only knew that Ye Chen's life was very hard 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 since he was eighteen, and even more, she didn't know that Ye Chen had donated all his money to the welfare institute.
No wonder he was penniless when he married her, and even the money for a haircut before the wedding was asked from his grandfather.
Combined with his crazy efforts to raise money for Aunt Li's 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 things?"
Ye Chen said indifferently: "Hey, what's there to talk about in those down-and-out days."
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 Aunt Li?"
Li Xiaofen said: "Aunt Li is talking to the dean about some work matters. She said to let me entertain you first, and she will come over in a while."
As she spoke, Li Xiaofen asked with expectation: "Brother Ye Chen, do you want to go into the welfare institute to take a look? You haven't been back for a long time!"
