The Hidden Dragon In-Law

When Li Xiaofen saw James Ye, her face was filled with happiness and surprise.

She quickly ran towards James, grabbing his arm with both hands like she used to, and asked sweetly, "Brother James, why haven't you come back to the orphanage to visit us for so long?"

James didn't feel uncomfortable at all when she grabbed his arm. Instead, he spoke with the affection of an older brother, "I haven't been doing well since I left, so I didn't have the face to come back to the orphanage to see you all."

Hearing this, Li Xiaofen's big eyes immediately turned red, and she choked up, "Auntie Li told us that ever since you left, you've been working hard at construction sites, sending all the money you earned to her so she could buy us books, clothes, and food. But you never came back to see me. It's been so many years, and I haven't seen you once..."

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. "When Auntie Li was sick, she said you often visited her, but you always came after we left. You deliberately avoided us, not knowing how much it hurt us younger siblings..."

James couldn't help but sigh at her words.

Since leaving the orphanage, he hadn't had a good life. He was always busy at construction sites, working 365 days a year without rest. The money he earned, aside from feeding himself, was all sent to Auntie Li.

He didn't want to return to the orphanage because he was doing so poorly at the time. He didn't want his younger siblings, who hadn't yet entered society, to see him in such a state and set a bad example for them.
