Chapter: 1062

Leaf Chen opened the group and found that someone wasn't talking to him, but rather sending a message to everyone.

The message was from a girl named Li Xiaofen from the welfare institute, saying: "I'm going to tell everyone a good secret. Li Auntie has recovered and returned to Jinling already!"

Li Xiaofen was a little girl that Leaf Chen had gotten to know when he was at the orphanage.

This little girl was abandoned by her parents shortly after birth, but Li Auntie took care of her and raised her, making her younger than Leaf Chen by two or three years. In Leaf Chen's eyes, she was like a little sister.

Li Auntie didn't know what her last name was, so she let her take on her own surname and named her Li Xiaofen.

After growing up, Li Xiaofen followed Li Auntie to work at the welfare institute, making her the only one from their group of many friends who still stayed behind.

When Leaf Chen saw that she said Li Auntie had returned, he quickly asked in the group: "How come Li Auntie didn't tell us? We'd like to go visit and pay our respects."

Li Xiaofen said: "Leaf Chen, Li Auntie doesn't want to trouble you all, so no one was told. I only found out after she suddenly returned this afternoon."

Leaf Chen asked again, "How is Li Auntie's physical condition? She looks pretty good. Since she just got out of the hospital after recovering from an illness, it's unlikely that she would go straight back to work at the welfare institute, right?"

"Right!" Li Xiaofen said. "Li Auntie is such a person, Leaf Chen brother, you must be clearer than anyone else about her. She couldn't just sit idle, and after so long without visiting the welfare institute, she's worried sick about the children all the way to madness."

As Li Xiaofen spoke, she added, "However, looking at Li Auntie's physical condition, I feel that she still seems quite good, with no sign of having suffered a serious illness. She must have recovered already!"

Leaf Chen let out a sigh of relief, thinking back to when Tang Sihai had sent Li Auntie to the best hospital in Yankai and himself had spent 2 million on her medical expenses, which included very high-end post-operative recovery care.

At this moment, other people in the group also started sending messages.

"Oh, Li Auntie has been discharged? That's so wonderful!"

"Haha, I knew it, Li Auntie is a good person who will definitely have a day of recovery!"

Just then, someone named Jiang Ming suddenly @ed everyone in the group, saying, "Everyone, since Li Auntie has recovered and been discharged, I propose that we go to the welfare institute right now to pay our respects to her, find an inn to let her rest, and get her settled. What do you all think?"

"That's a great idea, Jiang Ming! I'm almost done with work, so I can head over anytime."

"No question, Li Auntie's recovery is a big happy event, and we absolutely have to go visit her!"

"Regarding this, Li Xiaofen sent a smiling emoji saying: 'I'm sending messages to everyone because this means I want us all to gather together and treat Li Auntie to a meal. Since we haven't seen each other for so long, let's take advantage of this opportunity and get together, please Li Auntie to join us for dinner, which will definitely make her very happy!'"

"Hey, you guys in Jinling can't wait just one or two days? If we don't come back soon, I'll buy a ticket now and head back tomorrow!"

Jiang Ming said: "Things like this require a sense of occasion, which is most meaningful on the day of return!"

"Yes!" A small companion named Zhao Hao spoke up from the crowd: "Li Auntie has had such a severe illness and has only just recovered. If we don't go see her first, it's possible that she'll be disappointed."

Jiang Ming said: "Let's find a five-star hotel to properly treat Li Auntie!"

Li Xiaofen said: "Jiang Ming, let's not be too lavish. Li Auntie is someone who has always lived modestly. If we take her to such a good place for dinner, she'll definitely feel a pang of regret. Why don't we just go to the restaurant that's been around for many years at the entrance of the welfare institute instead?"

Yè Chen thought about the home-style restaurant that had been open for 10 or so years and felt a wave of nostalgia wash over him. JrNovels.com
