As soon as Yang Chen left Sun's house, his cell phone rang.
I picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello Yang Chen, I'm Xia He. I'm in Yandu now. Do you have time? I want to ask you to do me a favor."
A smart voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone, and it turned out to be Xia He.
Yang Chen has always been very grateful to this woman. If it hadn't been for this woman, Xiaoxiao might have been greatly hurt.
Speaking of which, this woman is Xiaoxiao's lifesaver.
"Okay, where are you now? I'll go look for you." Yang Chen asked.
"No. 320 Mintai Street, Hongyan Bar." Xia He reported an address.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen realized that the place where this woman asked him to go was actually at a bar.
"We haven't seen each other for half a year, what happened to this woman?" Yang Chen said to himself.
When he was in Jiangzhou, Xia He's mother suffered from uremia and needed a kidney transplant.
Yang Chen established a relief fund specifically for uremia patients at Jiangzhou People's Hospital, which helped Xia He solve the problem of medical expenses.
How could such a simple woman go to a bar?
Although Yang Chen was confused, he rushed to the Beauty Bar immediately.
Twenty minutes later, Yang Chen parked the car at the door of a bar. The large LED lights above the door were the words "Beauty Bar".
"Yang Chen!"
As soon as Yang Chen walked to the door of the bar, he heard a familiar voice, turned around and saw Xia He, trotting over with excitement on his face.
Six months ago, Xia He's delicate face had no makeup at all, but now, she actually wears makeup.
And her dress is also much more beautiful than half a year ago.
Before anyone could get closer, a gust of fragrant wind had already hit me.
I have to admit that this woman's appearance is really very good. After putting on light makeup, she is much prettier than those beautiful celebrities.
However, Yang Chen is still used to dealing with the innocent Xia He from before.
"Xia He, what do you want from me?"
Yang Chen asked calmly, his tone was neither salty nor bland, and did not have the enthusiasm that Xia He expected.
For a moment, Xia He felt a little sad.
But soon, a smile appeared on her face: "Yang Chen, I just got off the plane from Yandu an hour ago. I came here this time to pay you back."
"I'm sorry, I just lied to you. In fact, I'm pretty good and I don't need your help. I just didn't say that because I was worried that you wouldn't come over."
After listening to Xia He's words, Yang Chen suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart.
It turns out that this woman came to Yandu to pay him back.
Yang Chen naturally understood what Xia He wanted to pay back.
Back then, Yang Chen secretly helped Xia He's mother and established a uremia foundation, which relieved Xia He's great burden.
When Xia He knew that Yang Chen had helped him, he promised to pay back the money to Yang Chen in the future.
"I established the Uremia Foundation just to help more women like your mother. You don't need to feel that you owe me anything."
Yang Chen said sincerely: "If I really want to say thank you, it should be me thanking you. If it weren't for you, Xiaoxiao would definitely be hurt."
Xia He said helplessly: "I knew you were going to say that."
As she said that, she put a bank card into Yang Chen's hand: "Anyway, it was indeed because of your help that my mother was able to carry it through."
"My mother has been saying that she wants to thank you very much, but she has been unable to contact you."
"There's not much money in this card. There's only one million. Just think of it as my repayment to you."
Yang Chen was suddenly shocked. He didn't expect that Xia He, who was working multiple jobs to pay for treatment half a year ago, would now spend one million.
Although one million is nothing to him, to Xia He's family, it is an astronomical sum.
"Xia He, I told you not to be so polite. You just don't treat me as a friend."
Yang Chen quickly returned the bank card to Xia He and said with a serious face: "If you really want to pay me back, I will leave now, and we will be settled in the future."
Xia He, who just wanted to continue to push the bank card to Yang Chen, heard Yang Chen's words and quickly took the bank card back.
"Yang Chen, you will make me feel like I owe you too much."
Xia He said with a bitter look on his face: "Before, I had no money, but now I finally have money, and you don't accept my paying you back."
Yang Chen smiled: "You know, helping you and auntie is just a little effort for me."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I don't want to lose you, my only friend."
Xia He put the bank card in his bag and said with a smile: "I don't want to pay you back, but I want to buy you a drink. You won't refuse, right?"
Yang Chen smiled and said: "I don't drink alcohol, so I'll replace wine with tea. Do you have any objection?"
"What's best, I'll drink tea too."
Xia He also said with a smile.
While talking, the two of them had already entered the beauty bar.
The two of them randomly found a corner table and ordered a pot of the best West Lake Longjing.
"Why did you come to Yandu all of a sudden? Are you just looking for me to pay back the money?"
Yang Chen picked up the teapot, got two cups of tea, handed one to Xia He, and asked.
Xia He smiled reluctantly, raised his tea cup, touched it with Yang Chen, took a sip of tea, and then said: "From now on, I will work in Yandu."
"Are you not satisfied with your new job?" Yang Chen asked.
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, I'm just feeling a little emotional. Six months ago, I was struggling with my mother's hundreds of thousands of medical expenses. Unexpectedly, in just six months, the trajectory of my life has changed."
Xia He had a look of emotion on his face, and seemed to be really uncomfortable with the difference between his life now and his past.
"There are not many people in this world who can truly do what they like."
Yang Chen said with a smile: "Even graduate students and doctoral students, most of the jobs they find after graduation have nothing to do with their majors."
Although he didn't know what Xia He's current job was, he could roughly guess that Xia He was very dissatisfied with the job, but had to accept it.
In just half a year, you can easily produce a million dollars of work, which is not an easy job.
"Xiaoxiao, is she okay? It's been a long time since I last saw you, and I suddenly miss her."
Xia He seemed unwilling to talk more about work and quickly changed the topic.
"She's pretty good, and she's still as naughty as before."
Speaking of his daughter, Yang Chen looked happy.
Xia He looked at the happiness on Yang Chen's face and suddenly felt a little envious.
"Where's Auntie? She should be recovering well, right?" Yang Chen asked.
"After the kidney transplant surgery, she recovered very well, but she can no longer do the tiring work like before. I asked her to rest, but she couldn't stay. She often secretly worked part-time behind my back."
Xia He said helplessly: "I stopped her at first, but later I made sure that her part-time job wouldn't be too hard, so I didn't take any more care."
"She is a working woman at the bottom of the society. No matter how good her life is, it is difficult for her to take time off. She will always do something to make her life meaningful."
While the two were chatting, a waitress suddenly came over with a glass of Bloody Mary.
"Hello, beauty, Mr. Cao has invited you here."
Before Xia He could refuse, the waitress had already placed the bright bloody Mary in front of Xia He.
At the same time, in front of a stage not far away, a young man wearing luxurious clothes was waving towards Xia He.
