Chapter 70: 70. Hidden beauty
Chapter 70: 70. Hidden beauty
A woman wearing a faded cotton sundress, its floral pattern barely visible. The hem was frayed and patched in places, yet it was meticulously clean, pushed open the door but what attract his attention more was her face, her right side face has a big burn like scar, and there were some small acne like marks over her face.
With a cry of pity, Ye Fei was ready to look away. After all, staring at someone's face like that was very rude. But right here, he discovered something wrong. His natural eyesight had been developed too during his dead experiment.
Now, with such eyesight, he could see a little difference. That was the woman who had just entered, the skin color of the left face and nose was slightly different. Although the difference was extremely small, even Ye Fei almost ignored it, but it was still different after all. How could the skin on a person's face have such a difference in such a close distance?
Ye Fei was so curious that he didn't care about politeness anymore. He focused his eyes on the woman's face again. Because he paid more attention this time, he finally saw that the scar on the woman's face was actually glued on but he is not sure if it's completely fake, but the acne on her cheeks was fake for sure.
Ye Fei had never dreamed that this small orphanage not only had Yaya, a girl who was extremely cute, but also a stunning beauty who was no less beautiful than the women in his own family.
However, he had just sworn to himself that he would not be tempted by any woman other than Ye Yunqi and Lin Ling and Ningshuang too, so the look he gave the woman at this moment was just admiration from a bystander's perspective at least that's what he thinks.
As for why the woman made herself ugly in this age when everyone was pursuing beauty, he didn't think it was strange at all. After all, with such a face and figure, and without any identity or background, she was very vulnerable. It was completely understandable that she used something like a protective color to cover up her beauty.
However, this also made Ye Fei, who had already guessed her identity, respect her even more. With such beauty, she could live the most luxurious life even if she did nothing, but she chose this extremely shabby orphanage. How could such a person not make people respect her?
It takes a long time to talk about Ye Fei's thoughts, but it was just a flash of thought. In fact, less than ten seconds have passed since Li Xue'er came in, and during these ten seconds, Li Xue'er was also observing Ye Fei and the other two. After seeing him, the two girls who were as good-looking as him first showed surprise like ordinary people, but then they were different.
A look of pity flashed in their eyes, and then they nodded to her politely and retracted their gaze. The strangest thing was the handsome boy. After staring at her for a while, he not only did not show disgust like ordinary people, but a look of surprise and admiration flashed in his eyes. This made her a little strange.
Could it be that this boy's aesthetic sense is different from that of ordinary people?
"Sister Xue'er, you're back." Yaya jumped up from beside Ye Yunqi and ran towards Xue'er, asking, "How's it going? Have you sold the copper?"
Li Xue'er sighed and said, "No, the purchasing station said that private trading of non-ferrous metals is prohibited now, so they only gave us 15 yuan per pound."
"Is that so?" Yaya said somewhat disappointedly, "We only have less than 200 kilograms in total, and can only sell for more than 2,000 yuan, which is not enough to pay sister Chenchen's tuition."
Ye Fei was touched again. He really didn't know how Granny Li educated them. Why were the people here so good? But what about those people that Zimao mentioned before? It seems that this is related to human nature.
Zimao also stood up at this time and introduced them to each other. Li Xue'er (the children here were all adopted by Granny Li since they were young. They didn't know who their parents were, so they all took her surname Li). She just nodded lightly to Ye Fei and the other two, then turned and walked towards Granny Li's room.
"Wait a moment." Ye Fei just wanted to really get to know Li Xue'er, so he naturally wouldn't let her leave. He quickly stood up and stopped her.
Li Xueer turned around and looked at Ye Fei and asked, "What do you want?"
"I'll call you Sister Xue'er like Zimao and the others." Ye Fei first brought the two closer together, then continued, "Sister Xue'er, can we talk alone?"
Talk alone? Did this boy really have some idea about her? Li Xue'er subconsciously took a step back, and then laughed at herself. She really thought too much. If his aesthetics were really different from others, he wouldn't have two such beautiful girls around him.
Besides, he was brought by Maomao. Even if he was a dandy boy, his character wouldn't be too bad. Besides, they were on her territory now. How could she be afraid of what a young teen might do to her?
Nodding, Li Xue'er smiled and said, "Okay, the children haven't come back yet, let's go out and talk."
Ye Fei winked at Lin Ling, then followed Li Xue'er out the door. Since they wanted to set up a secret company, the fewer people who knew about it the better. Although Zimao and the others would inevitably know about it in the future, some things still needed to be kept secret from them until everything was finalized.
It was not that Ye Fei did not trust Zimao and the others, but even if they knew, they could not help much. Ye Fei would need them to do other things in the future, so it was not advisable to let them be distracted by this matter.
Li Xue'er didn't stop until she was far away from the room and reached other side of the house. She turned around and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Ye Fei did not tell his story right away, but asked: "I heard from Zimao that you studied business management before, and many big companies offered to hire you, but why did you return to the orphanage in the end? If you joined those big companies, wouldn't you be able to help here better?"
