Chapter 291 Good luck!

Can we do it? Let's just do it!

But Zhong Wan didn't have time to think too much at that moment.

She worked tirelessly for several days, recalling the design drawings she had seen in Lin Yu's memory, and meticulously recreated them for her one-to-one.

This was after it was determined that only a few copies of the original manuscript had been destroyed.

Otherwise, she really didn't dare to imagine how long she would have to keep drawing.

When Zhong Wan finally put down her paintbrush, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned her head to look out the window and immediately saw that familiar figure peeking in, looking expectant yet timid.

A smile unconsciously crept onto Zhong Wan's lips as she raised her hand and beckoned, "Come in, I've just finished drawing, take a look."

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu quickly agreed, stepped inside, picked up the blueprints Zhong Wan had placed on the table, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears again.

She fought back tears and nodded deeply to Zhong Wan, saying, "Thank you, Boss Zhong!"

Zhong Wan smiled and shook her head: "No need to thank me, it was just what I could do."

At this point, she suddenly remembered something and looked at Lin Yu curiously, asking, "Are you really planning to hold your own wedding dress exhibition?"

"Um!"

Lin Yu hugged the design drawings tightly and looked at Zhong Wan solemnly, explaining, "These are my sister's hard work. They are not just drawings, but also my sister's unfinished dream... I don't want them to be buried like this."

Zhong Wan immediately understood: "Okay, then good luck, and feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu quickly shook her head: "Boss Zhong, you have already helped me a lot."

"If it weren't for your support, I wouldn't have had the money to do all this."

One million, that's no small sum.

Lin Yu, clutching the design drawings, thanked Zhong Wan sincerely once again before leaving.

The shop instantly returned to calm.

As Zhong Wan watched her figure disappear, her heart was filled with an indescribable sense of fulfillment.

She looked down at her hands, hands that had once toiled for a living, but now they were more capable, as if they could bear more burdens.

These hands, which once toiled for a salary of two or three thousand yuan and meticulously calculated every penny to save, can now instantly decide the destination of a huge sum of money, write for the silent dead, and ignite the flame of hope for the living.

This transformation truly made Zhong Wan feel a heavy responsibility, yet at the same time, it was also full of power.

[Meow~ Mom is great!]

As if sensing the fluctuations in her emotions, Zhong Suisui instantly appeared in front of her, tilting her head back and affectionately rubbing her chin with her fluffy little head.

[Sui Sui loves her mom like this.]

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan's eyes instantly lit up with laughter. She reached out and ruffled Zhong Sui Sui's chin, teasingly saying, "This feeling seems pretty good too. But, Sui Sui, what should I do about that organization?"

"Do you really want me to start from scratch?"

Zhong Suisui leisurely flicked her tail, not answering her question, but instead turning her head to look at the door.

Zhong Wan subconsciously followed its gaze.

Seeing Su Mu appear at the door, he smiled and said, "Mu Mu, you're here."

Su Mu smiled and nodded, looking at Zhong Wan and then at Zhong Suisui, his voice much gentler than usual: "I have already reported Lin Wei's matter to the higher-ups."

"Amending the wedding dress law is a long process, but there are some things that happen right now. I wonder if Wanwan would be interested."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Regarding your previous proposal for a special foundation to fund women who have been abused, it has been approved, if you trust us."

"You can serve as the honorary chairman, and a professional team will be responsible for the specific operation and management to ensure that every penny is used effectively to help women in need obtain legal support, psychological counseling, skills training and safe temporary housing."

Zhong Wan's eyes lit up instantly.

It's like I just dozed off and then fell asleep right under my pillow!

She was worried about what to do, but now this is great!

"Really? That's great!"

Zhong Wan exclaimed with delight, "Of course I trust you! What can I do for you?"

Su Mu smiled: "You just need to be responsible for providing the money. By the way, Director Qin also hopes that you will decide on the name of the foundation."

Zhong Wan barely hesitated; the image of the rose blooming amidst thorns on Lin Wei's body flashed through her mind, along with her final look of relief and hope.

Zhong Wan said in a firm yet gentle voice, "Then let's call it Thorn Rose. I hope that every woman struggling in adversity can be like a rose among thorns, finding the courage and strength to bloom even in darkness."

Su Mu carefully considered the name, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes as he looked at Zhong Wan: "Thorn Rose... What a great name! It sounds powerful and has a wonderful meaning. Let's go with it."

The matter was settled just like that. Zhong Wan never expected that her idea could be implemented so quickly.

In that instant, she felt an even greater sense of responsibility on her shoulders.

A few days later, the preparatory work for the Thorn Rose Foundation officially began. Under Su Mu's introduction, Zhong Wan also had a preliminary communication with several capable professionals and finalized the foundation's logo—a rose with simple lines standing proudly among thorns, which was derived from the painting Zhong Wan had drawn.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu soon received good news. She took the design drawings and contacted her sister's friends in the industry and her teacher who appreciated her talent.

After learning about Lin Wei's experiences and last wishes, they were all deeply saddened and regretful, and expressed their willingness to provide assistance. A memorial exhibition of Lin Wei's posthumous wedding dresses, entitled "Glimmer of Light: An Unfinished Dream," was officially and intensively prepared.

Lin Yu decided that after deducting all expenses, she would donate all her income to the Thorn Rose Foundation so that her sister's love and dreams could continue in another way and illuminate more women in darkness.

The grocery store seemed to have regained its usual tranquility.

Zhong Wan was free again. With nothing to do, she practiced calligraphy, drew ghosts, and occasionally teased her husband, Mr. Lin.

She felt there was nothing she could do; everything remained the same as before.

But Lin Yan'an keenly sensed something was amiss.

That indescribable feeling, he found the answer the moment he saw Zhong Wan after returning to the shop from filming.

Sure enough, he noticed that when Wanwan mentioned the mission, in addition to her desire and obsession with making money, there was also a calm contemplation in her eyes.

He had heard Zhong Wan tell Lin Wei's story before. He was angry about Lin Wei's plight, but also glad that he didn't take his anger out on Wanwan.
