Chapter 5: You’re Not Really… An Orphan

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

He Yang finally met Mama Chen.

Along the way, he heard this name a total of 73 times coming from the girl called Ye Xing.

He was very sensitive to numbers, so he remembered it very clearly.

This was a woman in her fifties. Time had left a deep mark on her face.

Her silver hair was meticulously groomed.

The light blue suit on her body, coupled with the white shirt with a lace design, made her look young and capable.

Through the gold-rimmed glasses, one could see a pair of young eyes.

Yes, if one had to describe her eyes in one word, it would be young..

The pair of young eyes was currently looking at He Yang with a gentle and loving gaze.

This made him a little nervous.

“You are very beautiful.”

For the first time, He Yang took the initiative to speak. After saying that, his face turned slightly red.

Mama Chen was obviously stunned for a moment. Then, the wrinkles on her face bloomed like flowers.

“Thank you for your praise, little guy. You are also very handsome. It seems that you are not as difficult to get along with as what Ye Xing said.”

Ye Xing?

As expected, did that girl complain about him?

Ha, girls are really childish.

He Yang curled his lips in disdain. He felt that his previous thoughts were right.

Girls were all troublesome people.

“Little guy, this kind of thinking is not right. It’s easy to not have a girlfriend in the future.”

Her young eyes were filled with wisdom, as if she could see through people’s hearts.

He Yang scratched his head, feeling a little guilty.

So, Mother Chen could read people’s minds?

Seeing He Yang’s embarrassment, Mother Chen smiled lovingly. She laced her hands in front of her chin and asked in a very calm tone, “Can you tell me why you ran away from home. In addition, hacking into other people’s internet system is a very impolite behaviour. Even if you are still young, if you can’t convince me, you will still get the punishment you deserve.”

In fact, Mama Chen looked at the information on the table and from the person who complained about him just now, she was very curious about this cool little guy.

He was so young, but he was so smart.

Although the welfare institute’s website was not a secret website with special security protection, a child like him should not be able to hack in without anyone knowing.

Moreover, the person who had just arrived was obviously his father’s subordinate.

She had also seen the document that had been given to her, and it was truly shocking.

This little fellow, at such a young age, had a talent in programming. It was simply shocking!

If he wasn’t guided, when he grew up in the future, he might go astray.

He Yang also knew that what he had done was very wrong.

But he also had a reason to do so.

So when he faced this kind-hearted Mother Chen, he could only lower his head and didn’t dare to look her in the eye.

He was afraid that she would see his secret.

Seeing this, Mother Chen only sighed.

Her tone became more amiable, “Your father’s assistant came just now.”

When she said this, Mother Chen was also secretly sizing up He Yang’s reaction.

At first, he was very surprised, as if he didn’t expect that his actions would be controlled by his father so quickly.

But then, he clenched his fists tightly, and anger and disgust appeared on his face.

But he still didn’t speak.

Because he knew that they weren’t here to catch him and bring him back.

Knowing this, it made him even sadder.

Indeed, was he completely abandoned?

Mama Chen shook her head with some heartache. After all, he was still a child. No matter how intelligent he was, he could not hide his emotions as well as an adult could.

“Alright, I will take note of your previous mistakes. Since you want to stay here, you have to abide by the rules here in the future. Starting tomorrow, you will clean the children’s bathroom. It can be considered a small punishment. You can also refuse. But after you refuse, you need to go home obediently. After all, you are not really… an orphan.”

“Alright! I accept the punishment!” He Yang would never allow himself to be sent back just like that.

That would make him seem too incompetent.

“You are a smart child. I hope you can get along well with the children here. By the way, if you’d like, could you do me a favour?”
