Chapter: 4188

Li Xiao Fen heard these words and her expression suddenly lit up with surprise.

She really wanted to go back home; besides, after going back, she could at least see Ye Chen frequently.

Unlike in Canada, where she might not be able to see Ye Chen unless something unexpected happened.

However, Li Auntie quickly waved her hand without hesitation, saying, "No need, no need... Tang Gujia has already settled us in Canada, and it's already cost a lot of thought and money. We can't add more trouble..."

Ye Chen spoke up quickly, saying, "Li Auntie, how can this be considered adding trouble? As I just said, the environment and climate in Canada are very good, but there are still many hidden dangers when it comes to safety. This time, I happened to be in America, not far from here, so if anything happens, I can get here quickly. If I were in our country, and something unexpected happened, it would probably take several hours or even longer for me to rush over here, which would make you both safer."

As he was speaking, Ye Chen thought about his project to build a large-scale welfare institution and quickly said, "Oh, Li Auntie, I almost forgot to report something to you."

"I've been preparing to build a comprehensive welfare institution in Jinling City these past few days, which will include preschool education and 12-year integrated curriculum education. Children's lives, learning, are all within this welfare institution;"

"This comprehensive welfare institution is quite large, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of orphans. Once it's built, I plan to open it up to the entire province and immediately start looking for a location. If you're willing, I'd like to ask you to be the director!"

Ye Chen's words shocked Li Auntie.

She exclaimed in surprise, "Ye Chen, you...you mean that?! A welfare institution for tens of thousands of people, this...this would probably require a huge investment!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said seriously, "Li Auntie, I myself am half an orphan, and my small group of friends who grew up together are all parentless children. Now that I have some ability, I should do something to help the orphans, and as for money, it's not important."

As he spoke, Ye Chen let out a deep sigh and added, "Actually, when I first considered this project, I had thought about asking you to come back and be the director. But then I thought that you've already retired and are settled in Canada, and it was hard for you to adapt to this environment. If I were to ask you to come back and work again, I wouldn't feel at ease..."

He continued, "But now that I've seen the situation here in Canada, I must admit that there are still some risks when it comes to safety, so I hope you could come back and settle down, and also help me build up this welfare institution."

"Aunt Li's expression was greatly agitated as she said, 'Fine! Too good! Ye Chen, Aunt Li is willing to go back!'"

"Next to her, Xiao Fen heard this and became even more agitated. She suddenly thought of something and quickly turned to Ye Chen saying, 'Ye Chen brother, I and Aunt Li are both willing to return to the country, but as for the director position, I'm afraid Aunt Li's physical condition may not allow it. After her kidney transplant surgery, she has recovered physically, but still needs to take medication regularly and pay attention to her health. The doctor also emphasized that she should avoid overexertion...'"

"Ye Chen was taken aback when he heard this and asked, 'Aunt Li, you...you were really ill?'"

"Ye Chen recalled that when he first recognized Qiuyi's identity, he had specifically gone to find Aunt Li to confirm. At the time, Aunt Li told him that she had always been following Tang's orders, taking care of herself at the orphanage and even pretending to be sick as a ploy to deceive others."

"At the time, Aunt Li was already physically recovered, so Ye Chen didn't notice anything unusual. Now that Xiao Fen mentioned that Aunt Li still needs to take medication regularly, he couldn't help but ask again."

"Aunt Li looked a bit ashamed when she said, 'Ye Chen...when you came to the orphanage looking for me, it was actually Tang's orders I followed. I knew the truth later than you did by just a few minutes. Tang arranged for me to tell you those things to instigate your desire for revenge against your parents and to get you to return to Yanjing...'"

"Aunt Li sighed heavily as she said this and lamented, 'In fact, everyone at the orphanage was under someone else's control except for one person - me. All the employees at the time were recruited by Tang, and they were all your father's old comrades...'"

"Ye Chen was moved to sigh when he heard this and said, 'So it was like that...Aunt Li, thank you! You've taken care of me for so many years and worried about Aunt Li and Tang. I won't forget this!'"

"Aunt Li hurriedly waved her hand and said, 'Don't say such things, I'm just doing my job as a caregiver, it's only natural that I would take care of you. And if it weren't for you and Tang helping me after I got sick, I wouldn't have had the chance to receive the best treatment in Yanjing... Moreover, people with uremic syndrome all need kidney transplants, and I've received two, so I should be grateful, really I am!'"

"Ye Chen suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, 'Aunt Li, let me take a look at your pulse! See how your body is now.'"

"The one beside her, Xiao Fen, looked very astonished and asked, 'Brother Ye... when did you learn to take pulses?'"

"Ye Chen smiled and said, 'I've learned many things, where's the need to report each one to you?'" JrNovels.com
