Chapter 141 [I Want]
141
Both Li Jingjing and the poor dean noticed Yang Chen's strange behavior, and stopped in their tracks.
Seeing him staring at the portrait hanging high on the wall, the dean smiled and said: "This is Ms. Guo Xuehua, the founder of our 'New Hope Orphanage', she has already established hundreds of orphanages. In every orphanage, there will be a portrait of her to show everyone's respect for her."
It was also the first time for Li Jingjing to hear the name Guo Xuehua. When she looked up, the fùnv on the portrait looked like she was in her thirties, with jet-black silk coiled up high, her cheeks were round and round, she looked graceful and luxurious at the same time, her expression was amiable and dignified, It seems to be the temperament of everyone's celebrity, which makes people feel friendly, but at the same time, they dare not look too much to avoid profanity.
"Brother Yang, what's wrong with you? Do you know Mrs. Guo?" Li Jingjing asked curiously.
Yang Chen shook his head lightly, and smiled, "Look twice more when you see a beautiful woman, men are like this."
Li Jingjing gave him a blank look, but didn't pay much attention.
Followed the dean and continued to walk in, but Yang Chen's mind was still drifting towards the portrait. He always felt that he had seen that woman somewhere, but he just couldn't remember it. This feeling made Yang Chen feel a little uncomfortable. Forget about it.
After entering a lobby, I finally saw a large group of small children, all wearing huahua and green clothes, boys and girls all with bright black eyes, seeing Li Jingjing walk into the door, showing a childlike and happy expression The spirit, regardless of the poems that are still being recited, surged up quickly!
"Sister Jingjing!"
"Sister Jingjing, I want to play a game!"
"I want to watch you draw!"...
A group of children immediately surrounded Li Jingjing in the center and put forward all kinds of innocent little requests, but Li Jingjing smiled happily and hurriedly accepted one by one, her body was pulled back and forth by them, fortunately the child was not strong enough, Otherwise, Li Jingjing's clothes must have been torn.
Yang Chen felt that his scalp was a little numb, but he was always too embarrassed to run away, so he had to put down the box and open the box, and saw that there were indeed a lot of rich books in it. What made Yang Chen even more interesting was that Li Jingjing also brought a lot of books with her. Puzzles. Apparently, a set of jigsaw puzzles was enough for the children to keep busy for a long time, so Li Jingjing was considered lazy.
Most of the day was much faster than Yang Chen imagined. Apart from having a simple lunch, this group of children tirelessly surrounded Li Jingjing, listening to Li Jingjing tell stories, and asking Li Jingjing to teach them how to paint watercolors.
In the middle of the journey, Li Jingjing's throat couldn't take it anymore, so she asked Yang Chen to tell the story, but when the children heard the story told by Yang Chen's dry voice, they all puffed their mouths sullenly to express their dissatisfaction.
Yang Chen stepped down from the stage disheveledly, so he had no choice but to continue to play his poor supporting role, which made several orphanage staff including Li Jingjing and the poor director giggle.
When the sun was about to go down, the children followed the dean's advice, let Li Jingjing go, and came to play with them next time. As for the meaningless Yang Chen, he was directly ignored.
Walking outside the orphanage, a group of children with big twinkling eyes kept saying goodbye to Li Jingjing, and a few little girls were tearful, looking really cute.
While Li Jingjing waved to the children, she suppressed her tears and forced a smile with her mouth flattened.
After sitting in the car, Li Jingjing immediately took out a tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes, and cried for a while, "Every time I say goodbye to the children, I can't help but want to cry, they are still so young, and there is no parents... …Brother Yang, you must have suffered a lot when you were a child, and it’s really hard for you.”
Yang Chen curled his lips and smiled, "It's nothing, just get used to it, sometimes there are many things that make me forget about my parents."
When you are on the line of life and death every day, there is no time to care about your parents and relatives... Yang Chen thought to himself.
Li Jingjing said quietly: "I just hope that telling stories to the children and giving them those little gifts can make them happier. Although my family was very poor when I was young, but with my parents by my side, I feel that I am They are the happiest children in the world. They must also envy those children who have parents, but it is a pity that they cannot get them."
Seeing the girl's sad expression, Yang Chen thought for a while and asked, "Our teacher Li gave so many gifts to the children today, so what does Teacher Li want?"
Li Jingjing pouted, "Brother Yang, stop joking, I'm not a kid anymore."
"Children are not the ones who have the right to get the gifts they want. You have been busy for a long time today, working so hard, you, Brother Yang, I decided to reward you." Yang Chen said seriously.
At this moment, it was already sunset, and the radiance of the setting sun shone into the car, dyed with a pale golden aftertaste. The car was very quiet, and the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
Li Jingjing's eyes were a little bewitched, as if she had thought about it for a long time, and a blush appeared on her face, "I want... love, can Brother Yang give it to me?"
After finishing speaking, Li Jingjing lowered her head, not daring to look at Yang Chen again.
Yang Chen's expression that was still slightly smiling just now subsided, and he was silent without a word. Li Jingjing's sudden words were like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart.
"I don't want much, I don't want a house, I don't want a car, I don't want money, I don't want fame, I don't want any status... I just want a love, I just want Brother Yang to pay attention to me and love me alone... But , the only thing I want, and maybe the only thing I can't get..."
Yes, maybe I can give anything, but what she wants, I can't give it.
Yang Chen sighed, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen, but you are a very good girl, you are still young, I think you will have a good home, and I can be your elder brother at that time, to join you wedding." After saying this, Yang Chen felt very uncomfortable.
Li Jingjing raised her head, her eyes were slightly red, but with a smile on her face, "Brother Yang, stop talking about this, or you will be like my mother, urging me to get married every day, I am so annoyed to death."
"Your parents are getting old, of course they will look forward to holding grandchildren, that's human nature."
"Okay, brother Yang, don't say these comforting words to me. In fact, I feel a lot easier to say what's in my heart. Anyway, I don't want to marry now. Maybe wait until you, brother Yang, divorce your current sister-in-law , do I still have a chance?"
"Don't count on me, I'm not a good man." Yang Chen felt that facing Li Jingjing, he was indeed a bit hateful.
Li Jingjing shook her head, "Well, it's not what you men say, it's what women say."
This seems to make sense, one radish and one hole, the hole I dug seems to be a bit bigger, although it is a bit nondescript for a man to be a hole.
"By the way, Jingjing", Yang Chen remembered something, "Last time you said you were going to move out, do you understand?"
"Think about it, I'm looking for a house, but it will take a while, I don't want to decorate and buy furniture, it's too troublesome, I plan to rent a smaller house directly, it shouldn't be too difficult with my current salary. "Li Jingjing said.
Yang Chen nodded. When a girl grows up, she will gradually become independent in her own thoughts. Seeing Li Jingjing who seemed to be in decline, Yang Chen didn't say anything, started the car, and sent her home.
...
The weekend is gone in a blink of an eye, and it's time to go to work again on Monday.
Although Yang Chen took over the task given by his wife, the president, this project will not be made public for the time being, so there is no need for transfer or promotion, only on special occasions, he will be the director of the sub-project. Therefore, early in the morning, Yang Chen routinely bought a lot of breakfast and brought it to the big office of the PR department.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Cai, who was the most gluttonous, rushed up first, took away two bags of fried buns and a bag of beef, and began to feast on it. Seeing Zhang Cai's eating, the other beauties couldn't help gnashing their teeth. I wonder why Zhang Cai can eat so much, but her figure is not out of shape. Apart from her plump face, she has no reaction at all?
When the breakfast was almost finished, Yang Chen suddenly realized that Zhao Hongyan, who sat closest to him, hadn't come. Thinking of what happened last Friday night, Yang Chen felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, Liu Mingyu hurried in from the door. She was dressed in a light gray professional suit at the moment because she was walking fast, her face was slightly red, and her expression seemed a little agitated. She walked all the way to Yang Chen, and asked eagerly: "Yang Chen, what happened to you and Hongyan?"
Liu Mingyu's voice was urgent, and the women in the office heard it clearly, and then they all looked at Yang Chen in surprise.
Yang Chen frowned, "Sister Mingyu, what's wrong?"
"Hongyan's husband, Yu Guang, and her brother-in-law, Yu Hui, have both come to the company. Hongyan looks terrible! It looks like she was beaten! Yu Guang is yelling to find a man named 'Yang Chen', and what he is saying is ugly , all in the lobby on the first floor!" Liu Mingyu said sullenly.
Yang Chen's face darkened. In the past two days, Zhao Hongyan didn't contact him at the weekend. He thought it wasn't a big deal, but now that something happened to Zhao Hongyan, he probably didn't have a chance to contact him, or didn't want to talk to him at all. Say it yourself.
If it wasn't for the weekend holiday, her husband would drag her to find her two days ago.
"Take it." Yang Chen stuffed the remaining breakfast and soy milk into Liu Mingyu.
Liu Mingyu caught it hastily, and asked, "What are you doing?"
"It's time for the man named 'Yang Chen' to appear."
