Half an hour later.
In a cold drink shop in Shudu, Li Dong saw the person he wanted to see.
Wang Jia was much thinner than before, but she was much more energetic than before.
When he saw Wang Jia, Li Dong was a little dazed.
How long had he known Wang Jia?
Four years, a whole four years.
In these four years, he saw a different Wang Jia.
In the beginning, she was a heartless little girl who could not grow up, and she even made faces at him.
Later, her family was ruined, leaving only Wang Jia who gave up and was full of despair.
When she fell ill, Li Dong saw Wang Jia who had seen through the world and had no desires.
Now, when he saw the smile on her face, it was as if he had returned to the past, smiling as always.
…
When she saw Li Dong, Wang Jia said with a smile, "The big boss is here. Please sit, it's your treat today."
The person accompanying her was not Fang Qingfei. Fang Qingfei was still preparing for school in Pingchuan. Huang Shanshan was accompanying Wang Jia.
Huang Shanshan was not joking. She greeted Li Dong softly.
Li Dong nodded. It was not unusual for Huang Shanshan to be here. After the earthquake, Huang Shanshan returned to Shudu and continued to teach.
The reason why Wang Jia was here had to do with Far away.
Wang Jia was originally a designer in Hu Wanlin's company. It could be said that she had achieved her previous dream.
However, when the East Star Charity Night was held in Pingchuan, it focused on promoting the earthquake. After that, the Distance Charitable Fund recruited a group of volunteers.
Wang Jia was among this group of volunteers.
When the earthquake happened in May, Wang Jia did not want to come.
However, when the East Star Charity Night was held, Wang Jia watched the video made by Far away and was deeply touched.
Especially when she saw the helpless eyes of the orphans, it made her cry.
She saw her own shadow in these orphans.
Wang Jia could empathize with this feeling. Her family was originally blissful, but all of a sudden, her family was destroyed. She was alone and had no one to rely on.
Ignoring Fang Qingfei's objection, Wang Jia decided to volunteer for the Distance Charitable Fund and followed the team to Sichuan.
As for Huang Shanshan, she and Wang Jia actually knew each other.
For a period of time, Wang Jia often went to school to look for Fang Qingfei. Huang Shanshan met her a few times in the office.
Both of them were volunteers for the charity foundation. Once, the two of them bumped into each other during a charity foundation volunteer meeting.
Perhaps it was because the two of them had the same miserable experience, coupled with the fact that they were about the same age, were both women, and knew each other, their relationship gradually improved.
…
Naturally, Li Dong knew that both of them were in Sichuan.
Huang Shanshan was already there. Although she did not say anything, Fang Qingfei had already informed Wang Jia.
After all, Wang Jia had undergone surgery. Although she had recovered well, there were no signs of any sequelae.
However, both Fang Qingfei and Li Dong were worried, so they took pity on her and paid more attention to her.
Wang Jia greeted them, looking much more cheerful than before. Seeing this, Li Dong sat down and said with a smile, "You seem to be in a good mood. You're even joking with me."
Wang Jia smiled and said, "I'm not joking. You're a big boss to begin with. I've been looking at Weibo for the past two days. Everyone is talking about you. Distant is getting more and more powerful. You've invested hundreds of billions. Are you going to become the richest man in the world soon? "
"You're overthinking it."
Li Dong rolled his eyes and said, "Richest man in the world? Why don't you lend me some?"
"I don't have any! I'm very poor. I don't even have any money left. "Wang Jia hurriedly shook her head and even rummaged through her pockets.
Li Dong immediately laughed. Huang Shanshan and Bai Su, who came along, could not help but laugh as well.
While Li Dong was chatting with Wang Jia, Bai Su and Huang Shanshan also started chatting.
After a few words, Li Dong asked with some concern, "Have you been to the hospital for a checkup recently?"
Wang Jia frowned and said unhappily, "I've recovered a long time ago. Can you not treat me like a patient? I was quite happy at first, but now you're bringing up sad things again."
She said it was sad, but the next moment, a smile appeared on Wang Jia's face. Clearly, she did not take it seriously.
Li Dong did not know if she really did not care anymore, or if she was pretending to be happy to lie to him. Regardless, the current Wang Jia was a lot livelier than before.
Li Dong also smiled and said, "Sorry, sorry. I won't say it next time."
"Forget it, I forgive you." Wang Jia laughed again and then replied, "It's fine. Don't worry, I'm really fine. I go for a checkup every month. The doctor says that my body is recovering very well. Maybe it's because I'm in a good mood. I'm especially happy when I'm with the kids. Li Dong, you don't know, but some of the kids are very funny. Last time … "
Wang Jia chattered about her experience at the orphanage. She was now working as a volunteer at the orphanage.
She did everything — teaching, feeding, organizing activities, going out to organize donations.
The work was actually quite tiring, but she insisted on it, and no one could persuade her otherwise.
Moreover, during her time at the orphanage, Wang Jia had indeed become a lot more cheerful. Fang Qingfei came to visit her during the summer holidays.
She was originally prepared to bring her back, but seeing that she was really more lively than before, Fang Qingfei gave up on that idea.
After helping out at the orphanage for a few days, school was about to start, and Fang Qingfei had just left a few days ago.
Li Dong listened quietly. After she spoke for a while, he smiled and said, "Children can indeed bring joy to people, but you don't have to tire yourself too much. If there's anything you need, just let the foundation know. "
Wang Jia giggled and said, "There's really something I need your help with. I'm especially happy to know that you're here today. Didn't our foundation raise hundreds of millions of yuan at the East Star Charity Night? Now, many orphanages in Sichuan are overcrowded. I'm thinking if we should build a few more orphanages to let the children have a better life. Li Dong, did you bring any money? "
Wang Jia looked like a money-grubber, which made the others laugh again.
Li Dong nodded and said, "These are all in the planning stages. The money will be in place soon. But I didn't bring any money this time. Let's wait for a while more. The foundation needs to go through the procedures. "
"I see …"
Wang Jia was slightly disappointed, but she quickly recovered.
It was better than nothing. Rome was not built in a day. It needed time.
Li Dong chatted with her for a while more before looking at Huang Shanshan and said, "Shanshan, are you doing well here?"
Huang Shanshan nodded lightly and said, "I'm fine. The old Hanyuan Primary School collapsed, and the new campus also collapsed. Now the new campus is being rebuilt, but teaching has been resumed. We're just waiting to move into the new school. It's the summer holidays now, and I happen to be free. Recently, I accompanied Sister Jia Jia to organize a fundraising organization. "
"Organizing a fundraising organization? The foundation didn't allocate any funds? "
Huang Shanshan explained, "There are too many places affected by the disaster this time, and the foundation's funds are limited. We should do as much as we can. It's better than doing nothing."
Li Dong nodded and said, "It's still the same words. Don't force yourself too much. You and Wang Jia can take care of each other. Also, you're not young anymore. If you really see someone suitable … "
The moment he said that, the two of them rolled their eyes.
Huang Shanshan did not reply, but Wang Jia laughed and said, "Who's not young anymore? We're still young. You're a man. Take care of yourself. "
"You're almost thirty, right?" Li Dong said faintly.
Wang Jia immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation and said, "You're only thirty! I'm very young, alright! Shanshan, do you think I'm thirty? "
Huang Shanshan was speechless and turned to chat with Bai Su.
She could not say whether Wang Jia was thirty or not.
In short, she and Fang Qingfei had graduated four years ago. Whether she was thirty or not was up to them.
Li Dong laughed and did not say anything else.
He actually understood that Wang Jia had concerns in her heart.
Although the doctor said that she was recovering well and there were no signs of sequelae, no one could guarantee that.
Sometimes, Wang Jia did not want to think about these things. It was fine as long as she was happy.
Maybe she would never wake up the next day, but that was not certain.
Under such circumstances, she had long given up the idea of marriage and children.
Of course, sometimes there were regrets and loneliness.
Li Dong did not mention this topic again and chatted with them for a while.
Because there was still something to do at the orphanage, after an hour, Wang Jia said, "Li Dong, then we'll go back first. Let's talk next time."
"I'll send you."
"No need. You're so famous now. If you're recognized, how can we volunteer?"
Wang Jia refused with a smile. Seeing that Li Dong was about to speak, she quickly interrupted, "I know you're worried about us. Don't worry. If I really walk with you, then I should be worried. You're now the Prince Charming in the hearts of girls. If someone really sees you and makes it into the newspapers, Shanshan and I will have to be careful of being splashed with acid when we go out tomorrow. "
Li Dong could not help but laugh. "Is it that exaggerated? Forget it, I won't send you off. Be careful. You all have my phone number. Call me if anything happens. If there's trouble, don't hide it in your heart. I don't have many friends, and you're one of my few. The more polite you are to me, the more distant you will be. "
Seeing that Li Dong was sincere, Wang Jia smiled and said, "It's our honor to have a friend like you."
Huang Shanshan nodded and did not say anything.
Watching the two of them leave, Li Dong sighed softly.
Bai Su said softly, "Shanshan is much better than before. I believe that she will soon walk out of the shadow from before. As for Sister Wang Jia, I think her current life is quite suitable for her. Here, no one would look at them with a strange gaze. Here, they have their own sense of existence. Life is more valuable when it's alive. "
Li Dong turned to look at her and said with a smile, "Then you can stay and accompany them."
"Huh?"
Bai Su looked embarrassed and said with a bitter smile, "General Manager Li …"
"I'm just joking."
Li Dong exhaled. "I hope they can live a happy life, even happier. By the way, ask Zhao Nanfang to take care of them. Don't be too obvious. "
"Understood."
Bai Su nodded quickly. Even if Li Dong did not say it, she would have reminded him.
Of these two people, one was her roommate, and the other was a teacher's friend, as well as Li Dong's friend.
If something really happened here, no one could bear the responsibility.
Li Dong did not say anything else and walked out of the cold drinks shop.
…
On the side of the street.
At the bus stop.
Wang Jia watched from afar as Li Dong's car left, and a hint of desolation flashed in her eyes.
Once upon a time, she had also fantasized about being a couple with Li Dong.
At that time, she was in the most pain.
During that time, in order to avoid debts, she went to the capital alone. She had a high fever and almost died of illness.
Just when she was full of despair about life, Li Dong went to the capital and found her. He helped her change to the best ward and find the best doctor.
Later, Li Dong paid for her mother's treatment and helped her solve the usury problem.
During that time, Wang Jia was extremely touched. There were several times when she had the thought of repaying him with her body.
Unfortunately, Li Dong did not seem to have that intention at all.
Wang Jia did not give up completely. The figure of that man filled her mind. She really did not care about anything. As long as Li Dong liked it, she could do anything.
The only thing she had was herself. She had nothing else.
However, when she was hospitalized again, Wang Jia completely gave up.
She was a jinx, cursing her parents and even cursing herself. She left behind this broken body, and even her organs were not hers.
Li Dong was the richest man in the country. He was young and rich, and his name was known throughout the country.
She felt inferior just being friends with Li Dong, let alone being a couple with him.
Wang Jia watched for a while and slowly turned her head.
Beside her, Huang Shanshan said softly, "Sister Jiajia, don't be sad. Take care of yourself."
Wang Jia immediately smiled. "Who's sad? I think you're the one who's sad."
Huang Shanshan also smiled, but her smile was a little bitter. She shook her head and said, "You know about me. I was young and ignorant. One wrong step, and there's no turning back. I'm different from you. "
"Silly girl!"
Wang Jia patted her head and didn't say anything to comfort her. Words of comfort were all empty words.
The two of them were speechless for a while.
When the bus arrived, Wang Jia suddenly said, "Do you hate that person?"
Huang Shanshan stopped in her tracks. She knew who Wang Jia was talking about.
Xu Chen …
This name that had not appeared in a long time appeared in her mind again.
Did she hate him?
At first, she did. Later, she no longer hated him. Instead, she felt that she had let him down.
He should have had a beautiful future. It was all because of her willfulness that he lost it all.
At that time, she was ignored by Li Dong, broke up with her ex-boyfriend, and was harassed by Xu Chen …
She used her willfulness to choose Xu Chen.
She had never loved him. It was only for revenge. Even she did not know who she wanted revenge on. At that time, Li Dong was not even in school anymore.
In the end, it was also a tragic ending.
Her reputation was ruined and she almost lost her life.
However, Xu Chen was not much better. He was expelled from school and carried a stain on his life. He was almost beaten to death by his own parents.
All of this was actually caused by herself.
Wang Jia asked her if she hated him. Did she have the right to hate him?
Huang Shanshan stopped in her tracks for a moment. She shook her head slightly and said with a smile, "I don't hate anymore. I've forgotten everything."
A smile appeared on Wang Jia's face. She waved her fist and said, "Tomorrow will be better!"
Huang Shanshan felt that it was very childish, especially when there were people watching. However, seeing her bright smile, she could not help but say seriously, "Tomorrow will be better!"
The next moment, a series of "Tomorrow will be better!" sounded around her.
On this land that was riddled with scars, there were too many sufferings and tears buried.
They buried sorrow and pain, released happiness and happiness, and looked forward to tomorrow's beauty.
