Sister Yun hung up the phone and sighed. She could not bear it.

She knew very well what a normal family meant to Ye Xing.

She also knew what would happen to Ye Xing if her cousin adopted Ye Xing.

This was a very sensible child, she was so sensible that it made one’s heart ache.

However, her heart alone could not feed her family, she had to support them financially.

This was especially so for her own daughter. Because of her illness, she needed a large sum of money. All these years, she had relied on her cousin’s help.

And this time, her cousin promised her that she could find the best doctor to perform surgery on her daughter so that she would never have to suffer from her illness again..

She could not refuse this condition.

“Perhaps, cousin will like her when he sees that she is so sensible. She might not suffer over there. Yes, it must be so. After all, what cousin and the others want is the scientific research results of Lucky Star Technology, and not to harm a little girl who doesn’t know anything.”

Sister Yun convinced herself in this way and felt much more comfortable in her heart.

This was a win-win situation, no, it should be a triple win situation, the little girl had a family, and her second cousin could still get what he wanted through her.

She could also save her daughter, no one was a loser in this matter.

When a person did something bad, they would think of all kinds of reasons to justify themselves. It was easy to convince oneself.

Ye Xing did not know about these things, she happily went to visit the other children and was relieved to find that they were the same as before.

He Yang went straight to the director’s office. When Mother Chen saw him, a loving smile appeared on her face.

“He Yang, you’re here, how is it? Are you used to the food in the canteen?”

He Yang nodded and did not say anything. His gaze fell on the wall behind Director Chen.

It was filled with photos of adults and children.

There were also photos taken at many charity events, like business advertisements.

Mama Chen clearly understood his temper and character, she didn’t take it to heart when she saw that he just nodded. 

Following his gaze, she turned around to look. The look in her eyes became gentler.

“These are the children who have left this place over the years. I wish that they’d never grow up. Here, at least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Once you walk out of here, you will have to face the other side of this world alone. Many people in society have… different views of the children in the welfare institute.”

Mama Chen’s face was full of regret. The wrinkles on her face seemed to be telling the suffering of this world.

He Yang, on the other hand, felt that Mother Chen was truly a kind elder.

She had clearly seen the other side of the world, but she still had a different way of describing it. It was clear she would not say some negative comments in front of a child.

He Yang somewhat understood why Ye Xing liked Mother Chen so much.

“There’s nothing different. If you want to be looked up to by others, you have to first be strong.”

He Yang’s young voice was mixed with a coldness that did not match his age.

Mama Chen seemed to be able to distinguish his perseverance and courage from his voice.

Although she was surprised that he would say such a thing, Mama Chen smiled in relief.

“Indeed, one has to be strong in order to forge iron. Everyone’s path, after all, depends on oneself. Alright, let’s talk about ‘business’.”

Mother Chen had been in the welfare institute for many years. She had seen all kinds of children and knew how to get along with them.

In fact, what the children needed was very simple, and that was equal respect.

Don’t treat them like children and listen to their requests seriously, even if some of the requests sounded a little absurd.

If you don’t give them a perfunctory answer, then they will develop trust in you.

On the contrary, if you only think that they are children and their requests are too excessive and ignore them, in the long run, these children will not get along with you.

Treating them as equals, although these four words seem very simple, there are very few who could do that.

Mama Chen easily changed the topic. He Yang nodded when he heard that.

“Since it’s business, let’s do it as such. This time, consider it my compensation for tampering with your official website. From now on, don’t use this incident as an argument anymore. If you agree…”

Before he could finish, Mama Chen adjusted her glasses and said with a smile, “Deal.”
