Ye Chen said indifferently, “They are rich is theirs, I told you before, since I was eight years old after my parents died, I have been living in the orphanage, from the age of eight until I graduated from high school at the age of eighteen, when I got out of the orphanage at the age of eighteen, I started to work at construction sites to earn money.”
Hearing this, Liu Manqiong nodded gently and whispered, “When I was angry with you, I felt that you were lying to me about everything, but now looking back again, it seems that you told me the truth, even if there were some things that were inconvenient to say outright, you only selectively said part of them, and did not lie to me.”
Saying that, Liu Manqiong asked Ye Chen again, “By the way, how long have you been working at the construction site?”
“Four years.” Ye Chen said, “I went from eighteen years old, to twenty-two.”
Liu Manqiong was surprised, she knew that Ye Chen was twenty-eight years old, so she couldn’t help but ask with wide eyes, “You were still at the construction site six years ago?!”
“Right.” Ye Chen explained, “Six years ago, the engineering team I was with took over a new construction site, and while I was there, I happened to be appreciated by the A-party boss, who had to arrange for me to study at the university for over a year, and then to marry his most beloved granddaughter to me ……”
Liu Manqiong’s jaw dropped as she looked at Ye Chen and asked offhandedly, “You’re not kidding me, are you? Why would that boss treat you so well and marry his granddaughter to you?”
Ye Chen smiled gently and said, “It was a coincidence to say the least, his ancestors had always been the family servants of the Ye family, so he recognised my identity, and although I had nothing at the time, he still wanted to give me a home in the true sense of the word.”
Liu Manqiong looked at Ye Chen’s heartfelt smile and felt her heartbeat speed up suddenly, she asked Ye Chen with some apprehension, “You …… wouldn’t have said yes, would you?”
“Yeah, I promised.” Ye Chen said lightly, “At that time, I had nothing, and I had had enough of an uprooted life and longed for a home.”
In this instant, Liu Manqiong only felt five thunderstorms!
She forced herself to endure a sharp pain in her heart and asked Ye Chen, “So you’ve already been married, have you?”
“Right.” Ye Chen said rightfully, “He arranged for me to study at the university at that time, and actually accompanied my wife until she graduated from the university, and after my wife graduated, we had a wedding.”
Liu Manqiong only felt her eyes instantly heat up and burn, and her vision suddenly blurred.
She had never thought that Ye Chen had already gotten married.
And even more so, she did not expect that her heart would hurt so badly when she heard the news.
She had thought that she was only a little curious about Ye Chen and had at most a few good feelings for him, but the heartache she felt at this moment made her realise that she had actually fallen deep into it in just two or three days and was unable to extricate herself.
At this moment, she felt that her tears were about to come out of her eyes.
In order not to let Ye Chen find out, she deliberately touched her mobile phone with her arm and immediately bent down to pick it up after it fell down.
Relying on the cover of the table, big tears came out of her eyes.
Liu Manqiong did not dare to let Ye Chen notice her strange appearance, so she deliberately spent a few more seconds under the table, bracing herself to keep her tears under control for the time being before picking up her mobile phone.
As a result, once the phone was picked up, she realised that the gla*s back cover had been cracked because it had knocked against a small, hard piece of sand and gravel on the ground.
At that moment, she couldn’t care less about the broken phone, and the aggression and loss in her heart made the tears that she had been holding back so hard and was almost unable to hold back roll down again.
Ye Chen did not expect Liu Manqiong to start shedding tears when she looked down to pick up a mobile phone, so he quickly asked her, “Miss Manqiong, why are you crying? What’s wrong?”
Liu Manqiong looked at him with blurred eyes and, unable to control her tears, simply burst into tears at once and choked out, “I …… broke my phone ……”
