In fact, most of the children in the welfare home were abandoned by their families because they were sick, and only a small number came to the welfare home because they had lost their families.

Li Xiyue walked over and looked at them one by one. Most of them had congenital diseases. These diseases are difficult to cure. They can only be controlled with medication to prevent the disease from recurring. In most cases, this disease will accompany the child for life.

Ordinary families simply don't have the capacity to raise such a sick child; such a child would be a burden on the whole family, so most people would cruelly abandon the child.

This is where the importance of prenatal checkups becomes apparent. These diseases can be detected during prenatal checkups, which can help avoid many risks.

"Me too……"

Li Xiyue turned around and asked, "Did Director Ye grow up in an orphanage?"

“I was abandoned by my family at the train station when I was three years old. If it weren’t for my congenital heart disease, I would have been kidnapped by human traffickers. Later, I was transferred to an orphanage after many twists and turns.” Ye Tian said with a sneer, “Even human traffickers don’t want sick children.”

Li Xiyue remained silent. She couldn't say whether she felt sympathy or not; she and Ye Tian had virtually no relationship. For him to speak to her about these things was a bit too much of a presumptuous conversation.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this to you." Ye Tian realized that he was right. "My purpose in working in the pharmaceutical industry is to one day develop a drug that can completely cure congenital diseases and save the lives of these poor children."

Li Xiyue said, "Director Ye is truly great."

But what does this have to do with her?

Why bring her to see these children and then tell her about her own background?

Trying to gain her sympathy?

Why do I have this strange feeling?

"Therefore, if Comrade Xiyue develops any other effective drugs in the future, please be sure to tell me, I..."

"You still own a house?"

Ye Tian choked on his own saliva and coughed a few times. Looking at the serious-looking person, he chuckled and said, "If you don't have a house, you can have other things. As long as I have it, Comrade Xiyue can take it if she needs it."

Li Xiyue said calmly, "No problem, as long as Director Ye can afford the payment."

She has plenty of prescriptions, but she won't be working with Ye Tian again anytime soon.

Even if she were to mass-produce the special medicine, she could do it herself in the future. It's never reassuring to have it handled by someone else.

Who knows if the other party is using the guise of serving the country and the people to secretly do some shady things?

You can know a person's face but not their heart; she wouldn't easily trust anyone, especially someone she'd only just met.

After leaving the orphanage, Li Xiyue did not get back into Ye Tian's car. She planned to take the bus back. When the bus passed the department store, Li Xiyue got off.

She wanted to buy some pastries for Chu Xingbang to take back with him.

As I was browsing in the pastry shop, I overheard two men talking next door.

"Old Hei, is everything alright at the venue in Jiangsu Province?"

Black Cripple replied, "Don't worry, brother, everything is fine."

Upon hearing "Su Province," Li Xiyue instinctively perked up her ears.

Wu Laohu took a puff of his cigar and asked, "Did they find the thief who stole your goods in March?"

Li Xiyue felt a pang of guilt. She guessed that the lame man was the head of the black market in Jiangsu Province, and the thief they were talking about who stole things in March was none other than her.

Cough cough!

I never expected to run into an old acquaintance so far away in Beijing.

"Found nothing, not a single clue, what a ghost." The black-clad man stood with his hands behind his back, his body shrouded in a sinister aura.

If he finds out that scoundrel, he'll wipe out his entire family.

Wu Laohu glanced at his sworn brother with displeasure. "Old Hei, I think you're getting worse as you get older. Back in the day, when we brothers were in the underworld, we had a great reputation. What petty thief would dare to mess with us?"

“Brother, that’s definitely not an ordinary thief.” Black Cripple followed behind, limping.

Wu Laohu exhaled a smoke ring, not believing his sworn brother's words, thinking that his sworn brother was just too old to even control a local petty thief.

But later, he believed it, because he had also made the same mistake.
