The old dean quickly grabbed him and said hesitantly: "I have something to give to you. For seventeen years, I have always treated you as a child. Today I discovered that you are no longer that child. You can solve problems and distinguish right from wrong. If you don't
I'm afraid something will happen to you one day and I won't have a chance."
After saying that, I walked to the inner room of the office. A room was divided into two halves. The outside was used for daily office work, and a small bed was placed inside to become a bedroom.
It took about a few minutes before he walked out, holding in his hand a delicate purple cloth bag that looked a bit like a sachet and was less than the size of a palm. The cloth bag was very finely made and had some kind of pattern embroidered on it, but the color was obviously a little bit...
It is dim and seems to have been there for many years.
Carefully unzipping the ribbon tied to the mouth of the cloth bag, the old man took out a piece of emerald green stuff that was shaped like a drop of water in Ye Xuan's puzzled eyes.
What is this stuff?
diamond?
jade?
Jade?
Having extorted a lot of jewelry from He Zhenfeng, he also had a basic understanding of this kind of thing, but he was certain that the thing in front of him was not any kind of jewelry he had ever seen.
However, it is also certain that it is not a chemically synthesized item such as organic glass. In short, it is an untouched material.
The old man put the gadget in front of him, pointed to a very inconspicuous place on it, and looked carefully at the small characters clearly engraved on it.
"That's where your last name comes from."
As if trapped in long-lasting memories, the old man murmured: "One morning seventeen years ago, I picked you up at the door of the orphanage. You didn't have a cotton bag or a date of birth. You were different from other abandoned children. You were naked.
, there was a small cloth bag tied with a red thread around his neck, and nothing else. If it hadn’t been for early summer, I would have been frozen. This cloth bag and beads were all I had on me. When I saw the words engraved on the beads, I thought
Your surname is Ye, and I also asked relevant people to identify it, but no one knew the material of this bead."
After saying these words, the old dean gently patted Ye Xuan's shoulder: "Keep it, after all, it is the only evidence of your life experience. Maybe you can find your biological parents through it."
biological parents?
What a strange word!
Ye Xuan sneered in his heart. He didn't even leave a birth date, not even a baby. Was he afraid that he would be found if he left clues?
Since you can abandon me so decisively, why should I look for you?
Does Ye Xuan still need your mercy now?
From now on, Ye Xuan will not need to recognize you, he will only live happier and happier!
He picked up the disposable lighter from the desk, lit the bag on fire without changing his expression, and pinched the beads with his thumb, index finger, and middle finger.
Um?!
He originally planned to destroy this thing that was only related to his life experience. Unexpectedly, with his strength of several tons, he was unable to crush the bead. Unless it is the hardest diamond, even if it is jade, emerald, agate, etc., after counting,
It will also turn into powder under tons of force, right?
Looking at the only handwriting engraved on it, Ye Xuan stuffed the beads into his pocket, thinking: Since it can't be destroyed, it can be treated as an insignificant gadget. If it is lost, forget it.
The old dean sighed helplessly, without stopping or saying anything.
Taking a deep breath to calm down the depression in his heart, Ye Xuan walked towards the front yard full of laughter. Looking at these innocent children, he couldn't help but reveal a natural smile on his lips.
"Thank you, brother Ye Xuan, this doll is so cute!" Xiaoqi blinked her big eyes and hugged the bear.
"There are a lot of delicious things..."
"Don't grab it, everyone. Each person can only choose one toy and stationery, and let the dean distribute the rest."
Xiaohu acted like a young adult. When he saw Ye Xuan coming, he walked up to Ye Xuan and looked at him firmly: "Brother Ye Xuan, I want to learn kung fu from you. The kind of kung fu you used to fight bad guys just now.
Can you teach me?"
"Why do you want to learn?" Ye Xuan was stunned.
"I am no longer a child, I am a man. I want to protect my younger brothers and sisters, and I want to protect the dean and grandpa, but...but I don't have the ability..."
"oh?"
"Just now I saw bad guys beating the dean, uncle Yun and uncle Xiao. I wanted to go up and help, but I knew I couldn't beat them."
"You don't go to school anymore?"
"Today is Sunday. I also found a part-time job. I want to be independent and self-reliant like Brother Ye Xuan!"
"Learning Kung Fu doesn't happen overnight. Can you endure the hardship?"
"able!"
"What do you want to do after you finish your studies? Why do you want to learn Kung Fu?"
"Protect the people around you and prevent them from being harmed by bad people!"
Hearing Xiaohu's slightly childish voice, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel stunned. Isn't this also his current mentality? This little guy has been imitating himself.
Patting Xiaohu's head, he nodded: "You seem to be in the first year of junior high school in No. 3 Middle School, right? Well... I'll tell the dean, he has some connections, and see if I can transfer you to No. 1 Middle School.
.When we get to No. 1 Middle School and we go to school together, you can live with me and we will talk about other things later."
After playing with a group of kids for a while, Ye Xuan was about to leave, but the old dean took the paper bag he put on his desk and ran over in a panic and stuffed it to him.
"Ye Xuan, I can't take this money!"
I had seen him put the paper bag on the table a long time ago, but every time Ye Xuan came over, he would bring something specially for him, but he couldn't resist his insistence and later just stopped talking.
So, he thought he was bringing some supplements this time, but when he called, he discovered that it was actually a stack of hundred-dollar bills with seals on them, and when he counted the amount, it was as high as half a million.
That's not all. When I walked out of it, I saw the front yard full of all kinds of things. God knows how much it would cost to buy so many things?
"Dean, you raised me up. I can't repay the favor, so you might as well accept it."
"No! I know you are rich now, and I also know that what you told me is not true, but I know even more that my little Ye Xuan is an upright and kind-hearted child. If you don't tell me, it means you have something you can't say.
The reason is, as long as I know you won’t do bad things. Anyway, making money is not easy, how can I take your hard-earned money?”
"This is not for you, but for the entire orphanage. I don't want to see you living in such a bad situation. I don't want to see my younger brothers and sisters not even able to eat meat. I don't want to see them envy other children.
Just think of it as satisfying my personal selfishness, okay?"
He is indeed a wise old man!
It's true that he already knew that his so-called meeting with the big boss was all a lie to cover up the truth, but he chose to trust without questioning.
After hearing what Ye Xuan said, the old dean was silent for a long time.
He kindly stroked Xiaolu's little head, looking at the more than 20 children with loving eyes, but his tone was very solemn: "Children, you must remember that our Ningai Orphanage is very poor.
But it’s very warm, because there once was a child in our orphanage, his name is Ye Xuan. Your brother Ye Xuan has never stopped helping you, and you must know how to repay kindness!"
Some children were only a few years old and were completely ignorant, but there were also some older ones who looked at Ye Xuan with eyes filled with gratitude.
The Lamborghini made a low roar, and flew away with the sunset gradually setting in the eyes of the old and young at the orphanage as they bid farewell.
They know that Brother Ye Xuan will come over after a while and buy them more toys when he gets rich. Brother Ye Xuan is the best person to them, just like Grandpa Dean...
"Ye Xuan, why do you look so ugly?"
The two cars were driving side by side. The open-top design of the supercar made Zhang Xiaoshuai see Ye Xuan's gloomy expression at a glance: "Because of Yan Lingxi's father? This matter is indeed a bit embarrassing. After all, I know her, and it's a bit too much to deal with her father."
That's right, and she has a good relationship with Chen Xin, and Chen Xin is Chen Yan's biological sister."
Ye Xuan turned to look at him and forced a smile: "Fat man, please go back to the apartment first. I'm going to find Yan Yue to find out."
"I'll go with you, why do you throw me aside every time something happens? What do you mean?"
"Then... let's go together."
"Are you really planning to deal with Yan Yue? Now that you've made your decision, why are you still acting weird?"
"The dean told me my life story."
His tone was surprisingly calm, but with a desolate coldness: "Before, I thought they had their own reasons for not wanting me. There is no parent who doesn't love their children. Unfortunately, I was wrong. They didn't even leave anything behind.
, there is not even a blanket to protect me from the wind and rain, haha... They gave me life and then abandoned it, so I no longer have any relationship with them!"
After Zhang Xiaoshuai listened to this in stunned silence, he realized that his gloomy expression was not because of the land acquisition issue, but because he knew the truth about his life experience.
㊣(7) Based on his understanding of Ye Xuan, he can't say he hates his parents, nor can he say he has feelings for his parents. After all, he doesn't even know who they are.
However, from what he just said, it can be heard that his tone is full of resentment. It is certain that even if his biological parents come to him, he will never recognize them!
In the end what happened?
As his best friend, he knew very well that he shouldn't ask. It would only make Ye Xuan more painful and angry when telling the story: "Okay! Can you please stop looking so dead? You look like the most pathetic person in the world.
It seems that there are many more pitiful people in this world than you, at least you still have the old dean who cares about you, you have friends like Brother Kun, and a girlfriend like Chen Yan."
"Haha..." Ye Xuan smiled noncommittally.
"The past is in the past. No matter what happened in the past, it is an unchangeable fact. What you have to do is to live well now and look to the future. Do you care about what is useful?"
is that useful?
Useless!
Whether you hate or complain, it will only bring a psychological burden to yourself and will not change anything.
Looking at Zhang Xiaoshuai with a sincere face, Ye Xuan's smile was no longer so stiff: "Yeah, live well now and look to the future, our future is bright, why are we clinging to the meaningless past? Come! Run around, who?
If you lose, please have a midnight snack tonight, haha..."
"You run away first...you're being shameless!"
"Is it because you are slow to react?"
"Shameless!"
"Thanks for the compliment!"
The two supercars were racing at lightning speed, their shouts and laughter floated in the afterglow of the sunset, and soon the Tiandu Group was in sight...
