Yuan Xue didn't stop talking along the way. Her face was full of joy.
Yuan Xue didn't stop talking until they got out of the airport and arrived at the place where Li Dong parked his car.
Yuan Xue looked around the A4 and stared at Li Dong suspiciously, "Is this your classmate's car?"
Li Dong smiled and shook his head.
Yuan Xue said with relief, "I knew it. Driving such a car in school is old-fashioned and expensive. Ordinary students won't choose such a car. Li Dong, do you know someone from the society? "
Li Dong didn't explain. He opened the trunk and put down the luggage. He said, "Do you want to eat first or go to the hotel first?"
"I don't want to."
Yuan Xue shook her head and then said with a smile, "I want to go to your place to have a look."
She knew that Li Dong rented a house outside. Of course, this was a long time ago. Yuan Xue didn't know what happened after that.
After listening to Yuan Xue, Li Dong scratched his head and thought about it, "Forget it. It's not convenient for me to go there."
Wan Yuan's parents were also there. They were sometimes at home during the day. It was not convenient to take Yuan Xue back.
As for Jinhu Garden, Li Dong didn't plan to take anyone there since he bought the house there. Moreover, the house had not been renovated yet.
Seeing Li Dong refuse, Yuan Xue looked a little disappointed.
But she quickly recovered and said, "Then let's go to eat first. It's already so late. You definitely haven't eaten."
Li Dong nodded, put down the luggage, and asked Yuan Xue to get in the car.
Yuan Xue sat in the passenger seat and didn't say much. Compared with before, it was a little different.
Li Dong didn't know what to say, so he drove in silence.
The car was quiet.
Yuan Xue sometimes looked at Li Dong, and sometimes at the scenery outside the window. She was slightly absent-minded.
She hadn't noticed it before, but now that everything was quiet, Yuan Xue felt that Li Dong had changed a lot.
Li Dong felt that she had changed, but in the eyes of others, Li Dong was the one who had changed the most.
In two years, Li Dong had gone from penniless to having a net worth of more than one billion. Whether it was his temperament or the way he dressed, it was like heaven and earth compared to before.
The more he looked, the more he could sense the changes in Li Dong.
Gradually, Yuan Xue was entranced by Li Dong. Her eyes were a little unfocused, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
…
Half an hour later.
The car stopped in front of a restaurant. Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yuan Xue, "We're here."
Yuan Xue shivered, and her eyes became clear again.
Glancing at Li Dong, and then at the restaurant outside the car, Yuan Xue asked, "It's not cheap here, is it?"
"Not bad."
Yuan Xue didn't say anything. She opened the door and got out of the car.
They entered the restaurant and didn't look for a private room. They found a seat in the hall and sat down. Li Dong picked up the menu and ordered a few dishes. Then they fell silent.
There weren't many people in the restaurant, and the dishes were served quickly.
The dishes ordered by Li Dong were soon served. Yuan Xue probably just got off the plane, so she didn't have much appetite. She just watched Li Dong eat and didn't eat much.
Li Dong also had no appetite, but the dishes here were delicious, so he ate a few more mouthfuls.
In the middle of eating, Yuan Xue suddenly said, "You've changed."
Li Dong looked up at her and said with a smile, "People change. It's normal to change. Don't look at me with the old eyes."
Yuan Xue nodded, and then said, "But you changed so fast. I feel a little strange."
This time, Li Dong didn't say anything. He lowered his head and continued eating.
Yuan Xue didn't care. She murmured, "I don't know what happened in the past two years. Every time I see you, you're different from before."
"It was fine the first few times, but this time, the change is especially obvious. You wear a suit, wear a watch, drive, and choose a high-class restaurant … Also, you talk less than before. It feels like you're a different person. I can only see a little shadow of the past in you … "
As she spoke, Yuan Xue became silent.
Li Dong also stopped moving. He looked up at her and said, "Then do you think this change is good or bad?"
Yuan Xue sighed softly, "I can't say."
She really couldn't say what she felt. Everything about Li Dong seemed to be developing in a good way.
From a commoner to an elite, this change was naturally a manifestation of success in the eyes of outsiders. But when Yuan Xue suddenly came into contact with this change, she felt a little awkward and uncomfortable.
The glib-tongued Li Dong was gone. The Li Dong who amused people with every move was also gone.
The current Li Dong didn't look like a student at all. This made Yuan Xue a little disappointed. In her opinion, the current Li Dong shouldn't enter society so early.
Taking a light breath, Yuan Xue asked, "Can you tell me about you?"
Li Dong scratched his head. He thought for a moment and said, "It's a long story. I don't know how to tell you about it."
"Then I'll ask. What do you say?"
Li Dong nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Yuan Xue stared at him and said, "Are you working? I'm talking about the formal kind. "
"Sort of."
Yuan Xue frowned slightly and asked again, "What about your studies? Have you given up?"
Li Dong said awkwardly, "Sort of."
Yuan Xue frowned slightly and asked softly, "Why?"
"Well, how should I put it? I just feel that school isn't suitable for me now. Moreover, I'm very busy and don't have much energy to devote to my studies."
Yuan Xue wasn't satisfied with this answer. But she was afraid of hurting Li Dong's pride. She hesitated for a moment and said, "If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. It wasn't easy to get into Jiangzhou University. Jiangzhou University is also a key university. It would be a pity to give it up. "I got a scholarship in the United States and do some part-time jobs. I still have a lot of money on hand. If you need it …"
Li Dong suddenly coughed and said dryly, "No, it's really okay. I haven't encountered any difficulties. I just feel that my studies at this stage aren't very helpful to me. Moreover, I've already talked to Jiangzhou University. I can still get my graduation certificate. "
Yuan Xue was a little confused. She thought that Li Dong must have encountered some difficulties in his family when he gave up his studies to work.
However, judging from Li Dong's tone, it didn't seem like it.
Just as she was about to ask a few more questions, a few middle-aged men and women walked by.
Because there were outsiders around, Yuan Xue didn't say anything. She was going to ask them after they passed.
Unexpectedly, those people saw Li Dong. As soon as they saw Li Dong, one of the middle-aged men laughed and said, "General Manager Li, what a coincidence!"
Li Dong also saw him. Although he wasn't very familiar with him, he had dealt with him a few times before. He could be considered half an acquaintance.
As soon as the middle-aged man greeted him, Li Dong stood up and said with a smile, "General Manager Wang, what a coincidence. Are you and your friends here for dinner?"
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded. Then, he looked at Yuan Xue and said with a smile, "General Manager Li, it seems that what you told the media before was true. Your girlfriend is really beautiful."
Li Dong said calmly, "Thank you for the compliment, General Manager Wang. Do you want to join us?"
The middle-aged man was not an insensible person. When he saw Yuan Xue looking at him and Li Dong suspiciously, he thought that she had misunderstood something. He nodded at Yuan Xue and said to Li Dong, "I won't bother General Manager Li anymore. I'll treat General Manager Li and your girlfriend to dinner next time."
"Alright, thank you, General Manager Wang."
The two of them exchanged a few polite words, and the middle-aged man led the people behind him to the private room inside.
They could faintly hear someone whispering, "General Manager Li's girlfriend is quite beautiful. I thought General Manager Li was lying before."
…
General Manager Wang and his people left, but Li Dong was a little embarrassed.
Yuan Xue frowned and stared at him. After a while, she asked, "General Manager Li? You're a boss? "
"Ahem, more or less. I started my own business, and it's been two years."
Yuan Xue continued, "So, the car before was also your own?"
"Yes."
"Is your business big?"
Li Dong laughed dryly and said, "How should I put it? It's quite big."
Yuan Xue nodded gently, and then said with slight disappointment, "Do you know Qin Yuhan?"
Li Dong was a little embarrassed and didn't speak.
Yuan Xue understood, and a sense of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She lowered her head and drank a mouthful of soup. After that, Yuan Xue didn't say a word.
After the meal, Li Dong paid the bill.
Yuan Xue didn't say anything. When they were about to get in the car, Yuan Xue suddenly said, "Li Dong, give me my luggage. Before I came, I made an appointment with my aunt. I will stay at her house for a few days."
"Your aunt?"
"Yes, my aunt lives in Pingchuan."
Yuan Xue said as she took the luggage from the car. Just then, a taxi drove over, and Yuan Xue waved her hand to stop the taxi.
After stuffing the luggage into the back seat, Yuan Xue looked at Li Dong, who was a little stunned, and said, "I'll go first. I'll call you later."
Li Dong came back to his senses and said, "Why are you leaving? Didn't we agree to stay at a hotel? Also, didn't you say that there will be a class reunion tomorrow? I'll accompany you … "
"Forget it. You go ahead with your work."
Yuan Xue's tone was slightly cold. She slammed the door, and the taxi slowly disappeared in front of Li Dong.
Li Dong was a little helpless and speechless. What is this?
…
In the taxi.
Yuan Xue didn't move. After a long time, Yuan Xue rubbed her slightly red eyes.
Two years. In these two years, Li Dong never told her that he started his own business and made money.
She didn't care how much money Li Dong made. What she cared about was that Li Dong never cared about her.
Two years. In such a long time, she and Li Dong met many times and called many times, but Li Dong didn't mention a word about it.
Why?
Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him go?
Or was he afraid that she would ask for his money?
Yuan Xue laughed at herself. She was too stupid and too naive.
Especially when she knew that Qin Yuhan already knew it, Yuan Xue was even more disappointed and wronged.
She thought that she and Qin Yuhan were actually no different. They were on the same starting line. Qin Yuhan was in Beijing, and she was abroad. She and Li Dong were far apart.
But now it seemed that it wasn't like this from the beginning to the end.
Qin Yuhan knew everything about Li Dong, and Li Dong didn't hesitate to tell Qin Yuhan everything about himself. He only hid it from her. This wasn't an equal competition at all.
At this moment, Yuan Xue was shaken by her own persistence.
Two years of persistence, but in the end, this was the result. Yuan Xue's heart was indescribably sad and lost.
