My whole family treats me like a dog, but this time I will never turn back!

"Ye Jianchen, that traitor!"

Liang Caili's temper flared like gunpowder, and she burst into a tirade: "Originally, I let yesterday's matter go, and I promised him I'd come back, but now he can forget about ever coming back!"

Ye Ruqing shook her head coldly: "I didn't expect him to be so ruthless at such a young age!"

"Sister, you can only know a person's face but not their heart. You even harm your own sister. You're worse than a pig or a dog!"

Ye Ke'er sneered, "They always act so well-behaved in front of us, but deep down they wish we were dead. I think it's best to call the police!"

Before the words were even finished, Ye Wanrou and Ye Yuxuan both spoke at the same time: "Don't call the police!"

Ye Yuxuan naturally didn't dare to call the police, since the matter would be clear once it was investigated!

Ye Wanrou felt she owed Ye Jianchen far too much, and Ye Jianchen's actions were perfectly reasonable!

Moreover, she didn't want her family to have too much of a falling out with Ye Jianchen. She wanted Ye Jianchen to come home, after all, they were all family!

Ye Ruqing suddenly asked, "What about Ye Jianchen? Why is he alright?"

Ye Yuxuan stammered, "He was selling clothes at a stall on the pedestrian street, and I just happened to run into him!"

"What a bastard!"

Ye Ke'er was angry: "He caused my sister to have a car accident and break her leg, and then he ran away and went to set up a clothing stall. It's better to raise my little dog Nuomi than to raise him!"

Ye Kai and his wife, as well as Ye Ruqing, were also angry.

Ye Ruqing said even more viciously, "I'll make a phone call to the city management and confiscate his clothes, so he won't have any food or a place to stay tonight. Then he'll know that rebellion is useless!"

"do not!"

Ye Wanrou's eyes reddened!

The Ye family treated Ye Jianchen like a dog, and now they want to ruin his future. How can they be so cruel!

"Ye Jianchen doesn't owe our Ye family anything. He eats and lives on his own and even cooks for us. We often bully him and treat him unfairly. Now we're kicking him when he's down. This is just too much!"

Ye Wanrou argued her case based on reason.

Liang Caili immediately glared at Ye Wanrou: "Wanrou, he caused your sister's fracture, and you're still defending him? We've always treated him well, and we're strict with him for his own good!"

Ye Ruqing and Ye Ke'er both nodded, completely unaware of anything amiss.

"Didn't you treat him well?"

Ye Wanrou felt a chill run down her spine. Only then did she realize how heartless her family members could be!

But then I thought, wasn't I the same way before?

Even on the day Ye Jianchen severed ties, she still shared the same thoughts as everyone else, believing that the Ye family owed Ye Jianchen nothing!

Ye Jianchen's silent dedication is already a given!

You only realize how precious something is after you've lost it!

"All right!"

Ye Kai then spoke up, "Tonight is Xiao Xu's birthday, and many distinguished guests are coming. Let's prepare for the birthday celebration first!"

After saying that, the family went through the discharge procedures!

"Second sister, what's wrong with you today? Your eyes are red, and you've been speaking up for Ye Jianchen several times!"

On the way back, Ye Ke'er asked curiously.

Ye Wanrou bit her lip: "Actually, Ye Jianchen is quite pitiful. He spent so many years in the orphanage, and when he came back, it was like he was in heaven. They treated us like honored guests. Unfortunately, we were not good to him at all!"

"Have it?"

Ye Ke'er disagreed!

Ye Wanrou felt sad, but she didn't say anything more. When giving becomes the norm, everything is taken for granted!

Not long after, the city's largest hotel!

Tonight is Ye Xu's birthday, and many distinguished guests have been invited. It is said that all the important figures in the city are here!

Looking at the bustling hall, Ye Wanrou felt a pang of sadness and asked, "Mom, is Ye Xu's birthday today? When is Ye Jianchen's birthday?"

As soon as he said that, the family, who had been having a lively time, fell silent!

"Why bring up this traitor? It's not his birthday yet!"

Liang Caili said irritably.

Ye Wanrou sniffed. Was it not her birthday yet? Or had she never celebrated her birthday before?

Ye Kai tapped the table and said, "Ye Jianchen has always been there for birthdays in previous years. Go and call him back. As for Yu Xuan's matter, we'll talk about it when he gets back. No matter what, setting up a stall is not respectable, and it will embarrass the Ye family if word gets out!"

"Dad, I'll go!"

Ye Wanrou immediately stood up, very happy.

She really wants to see Ye Jianchen now, and even more so, she wants him to come home!

She believed that Ye Jianchen must also want to go home, and that she would just need to show him more care in the future!

At this moment, Ye Jianchen and Li Dafa happily returned to the orphanage!

Business was great today, I made another 10,000 yuan, and I even went to pick up some more goods this afternoon!

Unfortunately, the trend of copying is very fast. Once the streets were full of non-mainstream clothes, the profit margin dropped significantly, and it was no longer worth doing!

But before that, Ye Jianchen had enough to make a fortune!

Upon entering the orphanage, a lovely girl ran up to us, dressed in a pink dress with her hair in a ponytail, giving off a youthful and lively vibe!

"Aren't you Xia Qianqian?"

Ye Jianchen and Li Dafa were both surprised!

Xia Qianqian is the school beauty of No. 1 High School, and her grades are among the best. She is definitely the kind of child that everyone admires.

Why is she at the orphanage too?

"It's me, Xiaxia!"

Xia Qianqian smiled at Ye Jianchen.

"Huh? You're Xiaxia?"

Ye Jianchen glared at him.

Because Ye Ruqing forbade Ye Jianchen from associating with his friends from the orphanage, Ye Jianchen never knew what Xia Qianqian looked like!

He actually knew that the school beauty's name was Xia Qianqian, but he had never thought about it in that way!

"You've grown so tall! And you've become so handsome too. Plus, we go to the same school! That's amazing!"

Ye Jianchen smiled and ruffled Xia Qianqian's hair, just like when they were children!

Xia Qianqian's cheeks were so flushed they looked like they could bleed!

Although Ye Jianchen didn't know her before, she had been secretly observing him.

"Happy birthday, Brother Xiaochen!"

Xia Qianqian took out her left hand and carried a large cake!

"Birthday?"

Ye Jianchen was stunned.

"It's your birthday today, brother. You must have forgotten. That's right, you've never celebrated your birthday before, but Xiaxia always remembers!"

Xia Qianqian said with a smile, but her eyes were red!

She never imagined that she would be the one to celebrate her brother's first birthday!

She then took out a pair of shoes and handed them to Ye Jianchen: "Brother, this is a birthday present for you. You'll have new shoes to wear from now on!"

After saying that, she took Ye Jianchen's hand and went inside. There, she saw that all the children in the orphanage were waiting, and each of them had an expectant smile on their face!

"Turn off the lights!"

The dean said with a smile, "Today is Xiao Chen's birthday!"

The candles on the cake were lit, and the candlelight in the night illuminated everyone's faces and warmed Ye Jianchen's heart!

"Happy birthday to you!"

A childish voice rang out, and Ye Jianchen recalled his past life!

For the sake of family and the Ye family, he burned everything like a moth to a flame, only to be abandoned and betrayed in the end!

However, there are still people in this world who love him, like candlelight in the night, faint but burning for him!

Thinking of this, a tear, without warning, unwittingly dripped from the corner of Ye Jianchen's eye!

Xia Qianqian felt a pang of sadness and quickly took Ye Jianchen's hand!

At this moment, there was another figure standing outside the orphanage gate. It was Ye Wanrou, who was covering her mouth and trying not to cry!

She witnessed everything that happened inside the orphanage!

This must be Ye Jianchen's first birthday!

Ironically, it wasn't his sister and parents who were with him, but a group of strangers!
