That was the first time Ye Xing felt the malice of this world.

She went to tell Mother Chen about this matter. That time, Mother Chen was silent for a long time.

Finally, she pulled her out of the door, pointed at the sun in the sky, and patiently explained.

“Do you see the sun in the sky? It’s very warm, right?”

Ye Xing nodded in confusion. She did not know what this had to do with the sun.

“The sun brings us warmth and light, but look, Ye Xing, if we spend too much time outside during summer, our skin will get sunburned and we might even get heatstroke.”

“Mother Chen, what is heatstroke?”

“Heatstroke is when we get sick from the sun. It can cause nausea and vomiting.. If it gets serious, we might even die. But even so, we still need the sun. After all, in winter, the sun can bring us warmth, right?”

Ye Xing nodded in confusion. She still did not understand what Mother Chen wanted to say.

Without waiting for her to ask, Mother Chen adjusted her glasses, her voice was filled with love.

“This is just like those people who do charity work. It’s of course wrong of them to talk about the children behind their backs. But we can’t deny that their donations help us a lot. So we can buy a lot of watercolour pens, new clothes, new books and toys for our children. We can’t label a person as a bad person just because their words are… inappropriate. Ye Xing, you’re still young, when you grow up, you’ll understand that others have no obligation to treat you well. They’ve helped you and lost a certain amount of money, so they want to get some benefits elsewhere. In fact, this is very fair. But you have to remember, no matter what others do, we have to maintain a kind heart.”

Ye Xing took this to heart. Even though she did not quite understand, she knew what Mama Chen said was right.

However, from then on, she no longer envied those children who could take pictures with them.

..

Chi Yang Smart Car Co., Ltd, Chairman’s Office.

Secretary Xiao Chen, holding a document in her hand, knocked on the office door.

“Come in!”

A deep voice came from inside.

Xiao Chen tidied up his clothes. The chairman was a meticulous man who hated his subordinates’ untidiness the most.

After making sure that his suit had no creases and that his buttons were all buttoned up, he pushed the door open and walked in.

The chairman’s office was very empty. A huge desk occupied one-third of the space.

He Qiang crossed his hands and supported his chin. At this moment, he was looking at the computer screen in front of him seriously.

Xiao Chen subconsciously slowed down his footsteps. When he was five steps away from the desk, he stopped.

The chairman liked to maintain this distance from people.

“Chairman… the matter regarding Young Master He Yang has been settled. I have donated 200,000 yuan in the name of the company to Chen Xing Welfare Institute. I have also talked to the director of the welfare institute, Young Master He Yang will definitely be taken care of there. But…”

Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment. He had looked up information about the welfare institute. It had a history of more than 70 years since it was established.

Whether it was the buildings or the equipment, they were all extremely old.

One could imagine the environment.

Young Master He Yang was, after all, the son of the chairman. He had lived in a big house since he was young and his family was well-off.

Now that he was in that kind of place, what if he was not used to it?

“Continue.” He Qiang still didn’t move his eyes away from the computer screen, but his voice became gentler.

“Yes! I wanted to say, should we bring Young Master He Yang to a better place? After all, that welfare institute was really a little shabby. Young Master He Yang has never suffered like this. What if…”

Without waiting for him to finish, He Qiang slowly raised his head. His gaze was deep and sharp, causing Xiao Chen’s next words to be stuck in his throat.

“There’s no ‘what if’. He did this to himself, so he has to take responsibility for his own actions. Didn’t he always think that I don’t care about him? Since he wants to escape, how can I not let him have his way? This kid is very stubborn. It’s good to let him suffer a little. Once he understands, he will naturally return. However… get someone to keep an eye on him.”
