Thinking that this ancestor was someone he had gone to great lengths to invite, but was instead arranged to live in the factory dormitory by his unsuspecting subordinates.

Lin Haowen felt somewhat embarrassed in front of his friend and couldn't help but apologize to him again, "Dahai, I'm really sorry. I had something to do the day you came, and I didn't know you would be here, so Assistant Chen made such a blunder. I have a spacious apartment not far from the factory, you can move in now."

Seeing that his friend was still stubborn, Lin Haowen had no choice but to plead, "How about I help you move your luggage, and you can go straight to the apartment now, okay?"

Lin Haowen almost begged Huang Xianhai for help, since this was the only thing he had never tried before. "I'm begging you. As a good friend and old classmate, I went to great lengths to invite you to the factory to help me, and then I let you stay in such a tiny room. How can I bear this? I feel so ashamed."

After Lin Haowen finished speaking, seeing that his friend was still staring at the factory gate, he almost couldn't help but want to cover his face and cry.

Lin Haowen lives in a big villa, while his good friend lives in a small room of only a few dozen square meters. Do you think he can sleep peacefully every day?

After watching his friend's pretentious rambling, Huang Xianhai finally stopped and slowly said, "I'm fine living in that dorm now, so don't worry about it. I've lived in similar dorms before, so why be so dramatic?"

Seeing his friend's insistence, Lin Haowen finally had no choice but to give up.

In fact, Lin Haowen felt sorry for his friend. His parents passed away when he was young. His father was an only child, while his mother had brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, after Huang Xianhai's parents passed away...

But no one adopted him, since his parents were at fault when the accident happened, and their savings and house were given to the victims as compensation.

Huang Xianhai had nothing, so even his closest maternal grandparents, uncles, and aunts were unwilling to raise him, and in the end, he had to be sent to an orphanage at a young age.

After much hard work and studying, I was admitted to a prestigious university. After graduation, I met a mentor who helped me get a good job with my solid cultural knowledge and skills.

Later, he met a beautiful and talented girlfriend, and he thought his future would be bright.

Then he ran into himself, the one who was trying to poach him. Lin Haowen had no hope at all, since Huang Xianhai's company treated him very well and his salary and benefits were high enough.

At the time, Lin Haowen was just trying it out, and would occasionally play the victim in front of his friends to gain sympathy.

Who knew that the turning point would come from his friend's beautiful girlfriend, Yang Danhui.

Yang Danhui, Lin Haowen, and Huang Xianhai were all classmates at the same school and in the same year. They had many good relationships with each other.

The three of them were the closest to each other. Yang Dan and Huang Xianhai joined the same company together, and Yang Dan followed Huang Xianhai because she was pursuing him.

After working together for two years, Yang Dan finally got her wish. Unfortunately, Huang Xianhai was a workaholic, and the sweet romance that Yang Dan had imagined didn't happen, nor did their sweet promises.

After all, he was the man she had liked since college. No matter how disappointed Yang Dan was, she still tolerated Huang Xianhai's shortcomings.

So later, Yang Dan would hint to her boyfriend that she wanted to live with him, which would save her rent, living expenses, and other costs.

Huang Xianhai is such a straight man. He insisted that it was perfectly legitimate and that since they weren't married, they couldn't do anything out of line. He even told Yang Danhui that as a young woman, she should learn to respect herself.

As a result, Yang Dan and Huang Xianhai were in a cold war for more than two months, while Huang Xianhai was completely unaware that they were in a cold war.

In the end, Yang Dan would quietly come back to reconcile with him, but this time it was different. Yang Dan would meet the illegitimate son of their company boss.

The two met during the cold war between Yang Dan and Huang Xianhai. Yang Dan was in a bad mood and went to a bar to drink, where she met the man.

One was intentional, and the other was willing; in their back-and-forth interactions, they crossed the line.

Later, after learning the man's true identity, which was shady, Yang Dan realized that the boss treated his son well, so she wanted to climb the social ladder.

Gradually, she lost patience with Hwang Hyun-hae and found it unbelievable that her past self could have been infatuated with this man.

Although she knew it was immoral, Yang Dan was afraid that she would be in the wrong in front of Huang Xianhai, so she tried every means to squeeze Huang Xianhai out of their company.

This allowed Lin Haowen, who had been waiting on the sidelines, to take advantage of the situation. As for Yang Danhui's change of heart, did Huang Xianhai know about it?

Of course he knew. He had even run into her before, and he always believed that the encounter marked the end of his relationship with Yang Dan.

She just didn't expect that the man she later married would be so petty, actually trying every means to kick her out of the company. He was really tired of all the scheming and backstabbing.

He had no choice but to go along with his friend's wishes and come work at his factory. Although the salary was not as high as the previous one, Huang Xianhai felt that the people here were not so scheming.

Even if there were, he could handle it easily.

As for Lin Haowen feeling that living in the dormitory was a disservice to him? Huang Xianhai didn't think so; he really enjoyed the lively, down-to-earth atmosphere.

This made him feel at home, especially the mother and son next door. Watching how they interacted, Huang Xianhai felt as if he had returned to the time when his mother was still alive.

At that time, he was just like that child from before—happy, carefree, and without a worry in the world.

Wenxuan was unaware that, in some unknown corner of the world, someone was secretly envying him.

He was with his mother. As soon as they left the factory gate, Wenxuan asked his mother, "Mom, should we go buy groceries first or go shopping first?"

Wen Chan asked, "Shopping? Aren't you hungry?"

Wenxuan patted his belly, shook his head hesitantly, and said, "How about we go buy some fried chicken first, and then cook seafood for dinner?"

Wen Chan realized that she had put a lot of effort into her makeup and dressing up today, and it would be a waste to just go home after buying groceries.

So Wenchan said, "Let's go eat seafood porridge. Let's not eat anything greasy so early in the morning."

Thinking of the delicious aroma of seafood porridge, Wenxuan nodded. He hadn't had it in a long time, and now he missed the taste.

Wen Chan took her son to Houmi Congee Shop, a place they frequented. It was a local specialty, made in a clay pot, and the portions were generous and the congee was delicious.

When the shop owner saw that it was Wenxuan and his mother, she joked, "Ah Xuan, it's been a long time since I've seen you come here for porridge. Have you found something better?"

Wenxuan called out, "Hello, Aunt Zhou. My mother didn't have time to bring me, otherwise we would have come much earlier."

Judging from how familiar her son and the proprietress seemed, they must have been frequent visitors before, which was indeed the case.

Wen Chan brought her son out when he was just two years old, and it has been six years since then. When they first came out, they were unfamiliar with the place and the people.

I stumbled upon this congee shop, so whenever I want to treat myself, I come to Houmi Congee. Over time, I've become quite familiar with the owner and her family.
