Chapter 1654: Who Would Take Something That Happened In Their Childhood Seriously?!

Ye Yuwei retreated violently and bumped into the sofa behind her.
Gu Juexi had obviously heard what Ye Cong said, so he slowed down the car and listened to what was going on there.
“Cong Cong,” Ye Yuwei murmured the name. Plenty of children from the orphanage came and left. They were either burned to death or adopted by other people.
If Ye Yuwei had not been deliberately reminded, she would not have remembered that there was a child called Cong Cong among the children at the orphanage.
“Haven’t you—” Gone missing?
She only remembered that the matron mourned for a long time when that happened.
Ye Cong was satisfied now that he was sure that Ye Yuwei had remembered who he was. He readjusted himself on the couch and said, “My father brought me home. We left in a hurry, so we didn’t get to greet anyone.”
Ye Yuwei was a little absent-minded. She let out a distracted ‘oh’ and sat down on the sofa.
Ye Cong frowned. He could not understand Ye Yuwei’s reaction; it was not what he had expected.
“You’ve forgotten about me, still,” Ye Cong said helplessly. This time, it sounded a little pitiful.
“In the big fire that burned down the orphanage, only Bai Yuyan and I survived. Now, Bai Yuyan’s dead too.” Ye Yuwei muttered to herself as if she was speaking to herself.
Ye Cong investigated the fire after he came back, therefore he knew what Ye Yuwei was saying.
“Bai Yuyan is a person who harbors evil intentions. I told you about it when we were very young.” Ye Cong leaned back in his chair and looked at the flabbergasted Ye Yuwei. Actually, he had not spent much time in the orphanage. He had only been there from the age of four to six. That meant he was only there for three years. When he left, Ye Yuwei was only five.
Therefore, it was understandable for Ye Yuwei to not remember him.
“Matron couldn’t find you before she passed away,” Ye Yuwei felt a wave of sourness at her nose. “Matron had always said that you were the only child she lost.”
Ye Cong lowered his eyes. He tightened the grip on his hands that had been holding onto each other.
Going to the orphanage was a form of training for him. He was brought back because he had to undergo even harsher training. He had no emotions since he was young.
If it was not for Mo Fei, he would not have returned to B City, and he would not have opened this can of worms.
“Are you blaming me?” Ye Cong suddenly asked.
Ye Yuwei looked up and recollected her emotions. “I don’t have the right to blame anyone. I was the one who caused Matron’s death. However, since you’re back, why don’t you go and inform Matron, so that she could rest in peace on the other side?”
The fire at the orphanage happened because of her. She had no right nor obligation to blame anyone else.
Ye Cong nodded, but he was still disappointed. “I thought you would at least be happy to see me. After all, we used to share the same bed.”
Ye Yuwei was rendered speechless. “…”
What nonsense was that?
Who would take something that happened in their childhood seriously?!
Ye Yuwei glared at him with a pair of bleak eyes.
When the man who drove to the bank and heard this as he arrived, he was instantly enraged. This man was clearly doing this on purpose, was he not?
“I’m just teasing you. Do you have time? Come with me to see Matron,” Ye Cong smiled and said. He was very satisfied to have incited Ye Yuwei’s glare.
“No.” Going with Ye Cong? Did he take her an idiot?
Moreover, the fact that she could forget Ye Cong meant that Ye Cong was just a passing acquaintance to Ye Yuwei.
Ye Cong sighed. “What a heartless woman. I know that Gu Juexi has rebuilt the orphanage, but isn’t Gu Juexi the son-in-law of the orphanage after all? There are only the two of us left from the orphanage now. I plan to build another orphanage in Mama Ye’s name.”
