About Ye Xing...
Mother Chen's expression was a little distant, as if she was immersed in some kind of memory.
After a long while, she slowly opened her mouth.
"Ye Xing was sent to the welfare institute at night four years ago. On that day, just like yesterday, it rained heavily. I have a habit, every night before I go to bed, I like to walk around the entrance of the welfare institute. That's because... oftentimes, when someone abandons a child, they choose to do so at night. If an adult spends a night outside, there's no need to worry, but if a child is abandoned in the dark, it's very likely that they will die if they aren't found in time."
The light in Mama Chen's eyes gradually dimmed and was replaced by regret.
There were many people in this world who didn't know how to be a parent. They gave birth to a child but were unwilling to raise it.
The children who were accepted by the welfare institute were considered lucky.
In places that no one knew about, there might be some abandoned children that had become food for stray cats.
This was not news.
A hint of hatred appeared in He Yang's eyes, this kind of person was not fit to be a parent.
"Ye Xing was placed at the entrance of the welfare institute on a rainy night. I can tell that someone has carefully protected her. When they picked her up, the little girl giggled at me. I felt that this little girl was fated to be with me, so I took her back. Ye Xing is her original name. Speaking of which, when she was sent here, she was about the same as you, the clothes she was wearing were all big-branded children's clothing."
A hint of curiosity flashed across He Yang's face. "Did her parents abandon her?"
Mother Chen hesitated for a moment before slowly shaking her head. "I don't think so. She was taken care of very well. At that time, she was already three years old. Strictly speaking, she had already remembered everything. However, when I asked her about it, she seemed to have lost all her memories from before she was three years old. She only remembered that she grew up in the welfare institute."
"I thought that perhaps her parents had some unspeakable reasons. After all, it wouldn't make sense to abandon her after raising her for so long. Furthermore, it seemed like her family didn't lack money. In fact, every year, a sum of money would be transferred to the welfare institute, under Ye Xing's name. I've investigated it before, but I didn't find any useful information, so I gave up."
"Ye Xing is a very sensible and good child. I've always felt that she is my pride, the most outstanding of all the children."
He Yang pursed his lips in disapproval of the last sentence.
When an elderly person took care of a child, all of their shortcomings were seen as merits.
Ye Xing did not appear to be very smart.
However, he still received a lot of useful information about Ye Xing.
First, Ye Xing was three years old when she entered the welfare institute, but she had lost her previous memories.
Of course, this did not exclude the fact that children were young, so a lot of their memories were not vivid.
Second of all, someone used Ye Xing's name to send money to the welfare institute every year. This was something worth paying attention to. Could the person who sent the money be Ye Xing's parents? If so, why didn't they take Ye Xing away but let her live in the welfare institute instead.
"If someone sent money to Ye Xing, then why is her life so difficult? The clothes on her body have already been worn for several years. Could it be that the welfare institute is using..."
He Yang did not finish his sentence, but Mother Chen already understood what he meant.
Mother Chen sighed. After all, He Yang was a child from a rich family, he was very precocious.
To be able to think of this, it was enough to show that he had his own logic.
"What are you thinking? It's the person's request that the money be kept for Ye Xing's future studies. If she doesn't succeed in her studies, then save this money. When she reaches adulthood, I'll give it to her, it'll be enough to sustain her for the rest of her life."
