Ye Xiyue sighed deeply, slowly sat up from the bed, and looked around.
Although she was scouting outside, Ye Xiyue's treatment could not be too bad due to her status: although the cabin in front of her was not particularly luxurious, it was warm and tidy, and had its own unique flavor.
Ye Xiyue walked out of the room and saw a staff member coming towards her.
"Ms. Ye, you're up." The staff greeted Ye Xiyue respectfully.
"!!! No wonder Miss Ye is a great artist!!! Few can match her aura! Today, Miss Ye looks even more beautiful and elegant than ever!!"
The staff members who appeared calm on the surface had already become screaming chickens in their hearts, screaming "ah ah ah" non-stop.
"Well, tell the other friends, we will have a meeting in an hour." Ye Xiyue was thinking about something in her mind and did not notice the starry eyes of the staff.
As soon as Ye Xiyue stepped out of the door, she smelled a fresh fragrance of soil coming towards her: this place is located deep in the mountains, and in the summer, the mountains are all pleasing to the eye with emerald green.
Coupled with the shade of the mountains on two sides, people don’t feel the slightest bit of stuffiness even in midsummer.
It was a great place to relax, but she didn't have time to relax here any longer, as there was a poor, lonely and helpless little kid at home waiting for her to rescue.
—An hour later—
"I asked everyone to come here because I received a message: my old friend passed away in an accident, leaving the children at home unattended. He entrusted the children to me, so I want to end this trip early. If you don't have anything else, just talk to Xiao He and settle your wages for this period. I'm sorry to bother you all during this period." Ye Xiyue bowed deeply to the staff below.
"Sister Ye, don't say that. We followed Sister Ye and got our salary easily without much effort. We should be thanking Sister Ye!" A staff member below said.
Ye Xiyue smiled slightly and went back to her room to pack her luggage.
"Have you noticed that Sister Ye looks much prettier and more elegant today than before!" a staff member said, smacking his lips.
"Yes, yes, Sister Ye is so kind. Our work has just started, but Sister Ye gave up her job for her friend's child..." another staff member continued.
"Let's disperse, let's disperse. Let's pack up our things quickly and go back with Sister Ye! Don't hold Sister Ye back." A person with more say dispersed the few people.
By the time they had packed up, it was already dark. For safety reasons, Ye Xiyue did not let them go, but drove to the airport herself.
The plane landed in the early morning of the next day.
There was a light drizzle in the sky, and the sky at four in the morning seemed as gloomy as at midnight.
Ye Xiyue didn't even have time to pack herself up before running to where Su Xingzheng lived - the slums.
"Ah!" Ye Xiyue tripped over a small hole on the side of the road due to her high heels, and fell forward fiercely due to inertia.
It was around five o'clock. When Ye Xiyue arrived here, many people had already woken up and were getting ready to go to work.
Ye Xiyue, dressed elegantly and beautifully, was out of place in this dirty and messy slum. She received a lot of stares along the way.
Ye Xiyue ignored the stares and limped forward with difficulty, frowning.
"That child's residence... Changhua Road... No. 41... Changhua Road..." Ye Xiyue murmured, looking at the dirty and messy environment, feeling sorry for the child she had never met.
If the world has treated you so badly, then let me compensate you with the remaining good things!
Ye Xiyue secretly made up her mind.
Finally arriving at Room 41, Ye Xiyue tried hard to ignore the resistance in her heart to this environment, and limped up to the third floor with trembling feet.
The third floor was occupied by a person who had been helped by the child's parents. He took pity on the child and gave his unwanted house to the child to live in. Ye Xiyue went up to the third floor with difficulty and knocked on the door gently.
"Dangdangdang~" Ye Xiyue knocked on the door gently, but there was no movement from inside.
Ye Xiyue patiently knocked again, once, twice... Ye Xiyue knocked for half an hour, but no one answered.
The more Ye Xiyue knocked, the more panicked she became. Could something have happened to the child, leaving him home alone? Could he have a fever? Or had he accidentally fallen? Or was he unconscious?
The more Ye Xiyue thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she kicked the door.
"Ah——" Ye Xiyue was so nervous that she completely forgot about her limping foot.
"Huff, huff, huff~" Ye Xiyue held her feet and blew on them with tears in her eyes: "My feet~ It hurts so much...嘤嘤嘤..."
After the pain in her feet subsided a little, Ye Xiyue jumped into the house on one foot: "Shu Xingzheng? Su Xingzheng, are you there?" The empty house was filled with only Ye Xiyue's own voice, and no one responded to her.
Ye Xiyue endured the pain and searched several rooms one by one, but the result was obvious - there was no one.
After searching through several rooms, Ye Xiyue's only thought was to find Su Xingzheng as quickly as possible: This place is uninhabitable now! Not only is it filthy and messy, she couldn't find anything edible inside. One of the windows was missing glass, and a gentle breeze whistled through it. She wondered if it would blow raindrops in when it rained...
And there was a bed that couldn't even be considered a bed - there wasn't even a bed board, only a dirty mattress spread on the floor, and then a neatly folded small square. Ye Xiyue thought that was probably Su Xingzheng's quilt.
How can a child grow up healthily if he lives in such an environment?
No, we have to find him quickly.
"Hiss--" After searching all the rooms, Ye Xiyue finally couldn't help it. Beads of sweat the size of beans fell down one by one. Ye Xiyue's lips couldn't help but tremble, and they were as pale as the white wall.
Ye Xiyue's eyes were red as she hugged her swollen ankle and tried to massage it. She turned on her phone and saw a big 7:00 on it. "It's so early, there shouldn't be anyone here."
Ye Xiyue rubbed her feet, looked at her feet that were swollen like big buns, and sighed helplessly: "Oh, it's really a bad start, adding insult to injury... Oh, my life is miserable... Oh, my heart aches..." Ye Xiyue pursed her lips, her eyes were red, and she talked to herself sadly.
"Since there is no one here, I'll leave first... If I don't leave now, my feet will be gone..." Ye Xiyue staggered to her feet, looked at the door that she had violently destroyed, thought for a moment and looked at the mess in the room: There shouldn't be... anyone coming to steal things... right?
