Chapter 506: The Unfathomable Ye Chen

The heartless Jiang Ming felt a bit guilty toward Zhao Zhuoyue when he left his dormitory.

He felt that this kind of person, Zhao Zhuoyue, although hateful, was also truly pitiful.

He was an orphan with no father or mother, had worked hard for so many years without achieving anything, and ended up finding a girlfriend who was such a piece of work.

If he knew that when his girlfriend was scolding him on the phone, she was wantonly enjoying herself under another man, what kind of mood would he be in?

Moreover, he had just emptied all his family's savings.

And made him owe more than 500,000 in loans, without exception, all high-interest loans.

It is estimated that in a week, he will have to pay back at least over 1 million.

It is estimated that in a month, he will have to pay back at least several million.

By that time, he would probably be at the end of his rope, right?

However, he himself was a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, unable to even save himself.

No way, if two people must die, he hoped the other party would die.

Moreover, he hadn't landed ashore yet!

To land ashore, he needed at least another 500,000 or 600,000.

Thinking of this, he no longer sympathized with Zhao Zhuoyue.

Forget it, let him survive first.

At this very moment, at the dining table of the Hyatt Hotel, Jiang Ming had become the object of everyone's pointing fingers.

Even his lackeys from before were all disgusted with him.

While looking down on Jiang Ming, everyone also admired Ye Chen incredibly.

After all, someone who could casually donate 1 million to the orphanage definitely didn't just have 1 million.

Everyone realized they had underestimated Ye Chen before.

Many people, in order to curry favor with Ye Chen, kept saying good things about him, toasted him, flattered him, and even groveled to him.

Ye Chen didn't have any arrogance, but he wasn't overly humble either. He always maintained an indifferent mindset, making people feel he was somewhat unfathomable.

Zhao Hao waited until everyone had finished toasting Ye Chen. He picked up a glass of wine and said seriously: "Ye Chen, thank you for everything you've done for the orphanage, I toast you!"

Ye Chen looked at him and nodded lightly.

Besides Li Xiaofen and Auntie Li, Zhao Hao was the first person to toast him because he donated money to the orphanage.

The others who toasted him didn't do it because he donated money to the orphanage, but because they discovered he seemed to be a rich person.

These were two completely different starting points. Those who toasted him for the sake of the orphanage were truly concerned about the orphanage; those who toasted him for his sake were all hoping to climb into a relationship with him.

After all, for these friends, someone who could casually take out 1 million to donate to the orphanage was definitely not simple and had already far exceeded their cognitive scope.

Ye Chen drank a glass of wine with Zhao Hao, and Zhao Hao sighed with emotion: "Ye Chen, seeing you have today, I'm truly very gratified! Back then I felt that you were different from everyone else, and I don't know why, but I felt you were very capable and would definitely have a future! Never expected you to be so generous!"

Ye Chen smiled indifferently: "Back when we two slept on the construction site together, we were already very happy if we could eat our fill every day. Every month when we got paid, we could be extravagant, buy two small dishes, buy a few bottles of beer, and drink in the construction shed. In my opinion, that was already the greatest satisfaction."

After a pause, Ye Chen added: "Precisely because of that experience, I don't have many requirements for material things now. Eating better, dressing better, using better things, living better—actually, to me, it really doesn't have much meaning."

Zhao Hao nodded seriously and said: "Brother, I understand what you're saying. Back then, we both did the same work, but I saved all the money I earned, hoping it would be the capital for me to turn over a new leaf; but you donated all the money you earned to the orphanage. Back then, I felt that I might not be as good as you in this life, because your pattern is much bigger than mine!"

After saying that, Zhao Hao sighed lightly and laughed at himself: "Facts have proven that I really don't have much of a future."

Ye Chen said seriously: "Brother, don't belittle yourself at any time. As long as you can be worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of your conscience, and worthy of yourself, even if your material life isn't that good, you are still a very happy person."

As he spoke, he added: "Look at this world, how many rich people made their fortune by doing wicked things, and how many poor people are racking their brains thinking about grabbing, stealing, cheating, and taking a little from others. There are too few people who can be worthy of their conscience!"

Xiao Churan listened silently to Ye Chen speaking, and suddenly felt that the image of this husband of hers had become glorious at this moment, in her own heart.

From him donating to the orphanage to him saying these words now, it all made her look at him with new eyes.

But at the same time, she also felt that at this moment, she was even more unfamiliar with this husband of hers.

Once upon a time, she once thought this husband of hers had no future, no ambition, and was just a coward who didn't dare to talk back when scolded and didn't dare to fight back when beaten.

But now, she felt that this husband of hers seemed to be much more unfathomable than the him she imagined! ===== CHAPTER 507 =====

Ye Chen said awkwardly, "After all, our situations are different. I am married, but you are not."

As he spoke, Ye Chen took Xiao Churan's hand and said to Zhao Hao, "All of Jin Ling knows that I am a famous 'kept man.' I eat my wife's food, drink my wife's drinks, use my wife's things, and live in my wife's house. With such a good wife, I don't have to spend a single cent myself, and I can eat my fill and stay warm. In this situation, money isn't really of much use."

Xiao Churan was suddenly held by the hand by Ye Chen, and her heart suddenly began to race.

Listening to these words from Ye Chen, she was unexpectedly moved beyond measure.

She felt that at this moment, she had gained a few more layers of understanding for her husband.

But at the same time, she also felt that at this moment, she had become a few degrees more like a stranger to her husband.

Once upon a time, she had once thought that her husband was useless, had no ambition, and was just a coward who didn't dare to talk back when scolded and didn't dare to fight back when hit.

But now, she felt that her husband seemed to be far more unfathomable than the version of him she had imagined!
