Chapter 1521 - 1519: Girls Grow Up and Can’t Be Kept at Home

Chapter 1521: Chapter 1519: Girls Grow Up and Can’t Be Kept at Home

Yang Chen was preparing to go to the surveillance room for a check.

The orphanage was managed in a closed system, which meant outsiders generally couldn’t enter, and the surveillance setup was meticulous with few blind spots, so anyone coming in would be caught on camera.

As Yang Chen was heading to the surveillance room, he stopped when passing by a classroom.

He saw Ye Xin sitting on the podium, telling stories to the children.

"The next story is called ’The Princess’s New Clothes.’" Ye Xin said to the children.

Yang Chen was taken aback, looking at Ye Xin in surprise, puzzled, "Isn’t it supposed to be The Emperor’s New Clothes? How did it become The Princess’s New Clothes?"

Yang Chen listened a bit longer, unable to suppress his amusement.

The princess in her story was similar to Cinderella, but instead of glass slippers, she had new clothes.

This kind of childish story is probably something only Ye Xin could tell.

Yang Chen shook his head with a smile and left.

In the surveillance room.

Yang Chen identified himself, and after confirming with the director, he was granted access to view the surveillance videos.

Yang Chen reviewed the surveillance footage from the past few days and found no abnormalities.

He continued to watch until afternoon when the students were dismissed, and reviewed the footage from the past week, still finding no suspicious people visiting the orphanage.

Yang Chen grew even more curious.

Who could it possibly be?

At this moment, Ye Xin walked in and asked, "What are you doing here?"

She had finished teaching the children and couldn’t find Yang Chen, so she went to the director’s office where she learned he was in the surveillance room. Ye Xin rested a bit in the office, but school was out now and Yang Chen hadn’t come out, so she came to check.

Yang Chen glanced at Ye Xin, continued to focus on the monitor and said with a frown, "I suspect someone came to see the director, but couldn’t find any suspicious person on the surveillance."

Ye Xin thought for a moment and said, "You could start by looking into the director! They might not necessarily come to the orphanage to find him but could have arranged to talk outside!"

Yang Chen’s eyes brightened immediately.

Instantly, he said to Ye Xin, "Can you check the outside surveillance footage?"

"No problem, give me ten minutes!" Ye Xin immediately sat at the computer and began operating.

About ten minutes later, Ye Xin found the external surveillance footage and hacked into the hard drive to start searching for relevant information.

Quickly, Ye Xin found the target person.

Upon seeing the person on the surveillance video, Ye Xin was also dumbfounded, "My dad?"

Yang Chen was stunned too, "What is your dad doing here?"

Ye Xin looked at Yang Chen, equally puzzled.

Yang Chen recalled what the director had said before, and combined it with the recent high-level disputes, he could make some guesses.

Could it be that they’re trying to get me to help him?

Yang Chen understood Ye Liangcai’s intentions.

After all, with the current work he and Ye Xin were doing, it was too dangerous and difficult to settle down.

Yang Chen could understand.

The director had talked with him at length, and he could understand the director’s thoughts. Not just the director, but Ye Xin’s parents, his own parents, including Elder Zhuo, they all worried about him and Ye Xin.

They hoped he and Ye Xin could settle down, get married quickly, and have children.

Yang Chen could absolutely do that.

After all, closing his eyes and pretending not to see is quite simple. No matter what happens outside, no matter how chaotic the world becomes, it has nothing to do with him. Sometimes, if there’s an injustice internationally, it’s not solely his burden, he doesn’t need to carry it alone.

But, he couldn’t do such a simple thing!

He truly couldn’t.

He’s not blind; he can’t pretend to be blind!

He’s not deaf; he can’t pretend to be deaf!

He’s not mute; he can’t pretend he can’t speak!

Although these aren’t his responsibilities, he still has the responsibility and duty to do them.

He has his own goals, and he must achieve them.

He understands the thoughts of everyone around him, but no one understands him.

No matter how much pressure he bears, however misunderstood he is, he will continue on.

Because he is Yang Chen!

Yang Chen turned off the video and said to Ye Xin, "Let’s go!"

Ye Xin said solemnly, "I’m going to call home and ask!"

"No need!" Yang Chen stopped Ye Xin, "Don’t call."

"I want to ask what’s going on, why did he come to see the director?" Ye Xin said.

Yang Chen shook his head with a smile, but still held onto Ye Xin, "What else could it be? They’re just urging us about our marriage, they’re all pretty anxious. Rest assured, leave it to me."

"Really?" Ye Xin was skeptical.

"Of course it’s true, let’s go!" Yang Chen blocked Ye Xin’s shoulder, and walked out.

The two in the surveillance room shared a mouthful of dog food, watching the two of them leave.

After leaving the surveillance room, Yang Chen went to see the director again, instructing him to stay safe, and then the two left the orphanage.

Back at the villa, Jian Feng was already home.

Yang Chen saw Jian Feng comfortably sitting on the sofa with washed grapes, cut pineapples, peeled watermelons... all kinds of fruits in front of him.

Beside him, Chen Siyan was peeling an apple, living a life like that of an emperor!

"Jian Feng!" Yang Chen called as soon as he entered.

Jian Feng was startled and quickly jumped up from the sofa, looking nervously at Yang Chen, "B-boss!"

He was trembling with nervousness, and grapes fell out of his mouth as he opened it.

Chen Siyan exclaimed, "Brother! What are you doing! Scaring us as soon as you get home!"

"Scaring you?" Yang Chen sneered, looking up and down at Chen Siyan, feeling melancholy, "Chen Siyan! From childhood to now, haven’t I always let you have the good food first? But have you ever peeled an apple for me, let alone these..."

Yang Chen pointed to the fruit on the table, holding his chest with a heartache expression, "I can’t stand it! My heart aches! So cold, so cold!"

"Brother, I..." Chen Siyan was embarrassed.

"No need to say anything!" Yang Chen waved his hand, "Girls grow up and can’t be kept! Go! Just act like I’ve never seen you!"

"Brother!" Chen Siyan was anxious.

"Go to your room!" Yang Chen glared at Chen Siyan, "Stop delaying us from discussing serious matters!"

"I..." Chen Siyan was furious, and she shoved the apple into Yang Chen’s mouth.

Yang Chen snorted coldly, took the apple, and bit it hard, sitting down to look at Jian Feng, "Sit down!"

Jian Feng cautiously sat in the corner of the sofa.

"Tell me, what’s the situation today!" Yang Chen asked while eating a grape, skewering a piece of watermelon with a toothpick, and scooping a spoonful of mango yogurt.

"This treatment..." While eating fruit, Yang Chen didn’t forget to glare at Jian Feng.

His sister he’s raised with care has never treated him like this, and now Jian Feng, the lucky guy, has all the benefits.

"Today..." Jian Feng was about to report.

Yang Chen suddenly sat up, pointing at Jian Feng, "Jian Feng, consider this! I only have one sister! Treat her well like she treats you, and if you dare treat her poorly in any way, I won’t let you off the hook!"

Sweat instantly appeared on Jian Feng’s forehead.
