Chapter: 3119

Song Wanting realized something was off when all the clues pointed to Charlie Wade. His last name was the final piece of evidence that confirmed her suspicions. She thought to herself, “Master Ye must be the young master of the Ye family in Yenching. The Ye family must have had a good relationship with the Gu family in the past, which is why their children were promised to each other when they were young. But something must have happened to Master Ye that left him an orphan in Jinling.”

As she pondered this, her emotions were mixed. In the past, she admired Charlie Wade as someone who came from humble beginnings and succeeded through his own efforts. This made her feel like she was on equal footing with him. After all, she believed she was born into a better situation, with a higher social status.

She didn’t look down on Charlie Wade; she used this perspective to boost her confidence. She wanted to believe that she and Charlie Wade were not too different. But now, she realized that her background was not better than his. In fact, it was the opposite. The Ye family was far more powerful than the Song family.

To illustrate the difference, she thought of two children: one with a lollipop and the other with ten. The tenfold difference didn’t seem like a big deal at first, because parents could easily buy more lollipops. But if one child came from a wealthy family with a big house, while the other lived in a small apartment, the gap became much more significant.

In a town with ten local houses, the divide between the rich and the poor was enormous, making it hard for many to bridge the gap. When it came to wealth, the difference between those with 100 billion and those with trillions was even greater.

At that moment, Song Wanting felt an overwhelming sense of inferiority. She realized there was a huge difference between her and Charlie Wade, and it left her feeling hopeless.

Xiao Churan, unaware of Song Wanting’s feelings, noticed her silence and thought she wasn’t interested in the topic about her husband. She sighed and said, “Actually, Charlie Wade has faced a lot of challenges. He lived in an orphanage until he turned 18. After that, he had to work hard, taking on all sorts of tough jobs. Most of the money he earned went to help the younger kids at the orphanage, with only a small part left for himself.”

Song Wanting nodded and felt a wave of admiration for Charlie. “Honestly, I really respect Master Ye. Given his background, it’s impressive how he has quietly endured so much suffering,” she said, but immediately regretted her words. She realized that Xiao Churan didn’t know Charlie’s true identity and worried that her admiration might give things away.

However, Xiao Churan misunderstood. She thought Song Wanting had a speech issue and quickly added, “The reason Charlie Wade went through so much is because he was born into poverty and lost his parents at a young age. If he had a normal family like most people, his life might be very different today.”
