Dean Chen's office is located on the east side of the orphanage.
To get there from the main gate, you need to pass through the playground and then the cafeteria.
At this time, the children are all in art class, and there is no one on the playground.
As Su Xi passed by the cafeteria, she suddenly heard someone call out "Su Rou".
She paused in her steps.
Su Rou is here too?
Out of curiosity, Su Xi turned and headed towards the cafeteria.
In the distance, she saw a familiar figure flash by.
It was indeed Su Rou.
Su Xi took a few steps closer and clearly saw Su Rou helping the auntie with preparing and washing vegetables. Occasionally, when the auntie was too busy, she would also help stir-fry the dishes in the pot.
Last night, when Director Chen called her, he mentioned that a helper had come to the orphanage.
She thought they were volunteers who came to help.
Unexpected.
It turned out to be Su Rou.
After recovering from her serious illness, Su Rou became much thinner.
She was no longer as willful and capricious as before.
The way she was focused on her work at that moment made her look just like a gentle and kind woman.
"Xi'er".
In the blink of an eye, Su Xi heard Su Rou calling her.
Her gaze fell forward, and Su Rou was walking towards her.
"Did the sun rise in the west? You actually help with cooking?" Su Xi's face didn't show much expression as she casually teased him.
She was too far away to see Su Rou's face.
Even now, upon closer inspection, the scars on Su Rou's face are still visible.
"Thank you!" Su Rou suddenly bent her back and bowed to her.
Su Xi was taken aback. "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for giving me a chance to turn over a new leaf."
Two days ago, Dean Chen called her to ask about her health. Su Rou couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears on the spot.
Dean Chen told her that Su Xi had agreed to give her a chance.
She didn't know how to make up for her mistakes, so she came to the orphanage to help.
Since the mistake she made back then was made in the orphanage, she will return there to atone for her sins.
"Don't get me wrong, I haven't forgiven you." Su Xi turned her face away.
Su Rou knew that she had done too many wrong things in the past, and it would not be easy for Su Xi to forgive her in a short time.
She didn't expect Su Xi to forgive her.
From this moment forward, the Su Rou of the past is dead.
She will use her own efforts to make up for all the people she has hurt.
"However, you're not so annoying now."
Seeing that she didn't speak, Su Xi glanced at her disappointed face out of the corner of her eye and said another sentence in a light tone.
Then, he turned and walked away.
Su Rou watched her departing figure, her gaze firm and sincere, "Xi'er, I'm sorry!"
She used to be narrow-minded and jealous.
Because of Lin Ye's existence, he deliberately targeted Su Xi and made things difficult for her in various ways.
He even had the idea of making Su Xi disappear, which is why he abandoned Su Xi on the roadside.
In order to make Su Xi suffer, he deliberately sowed discord between Li Xuemei and Su Xi, intentionally causing Su Xi to be punished and suffer greatly.
Over the years, all for the sake of trampling Su Xi underfoot.
They even resorted to underhanded tactics to prevent Su Xi from ever making it big in the entertainment industry.
She has committed so many crimes.
Either one of them is a capital offense.
But Su Xi is still able to forgive and forget and not hold a grudge against her.
It was only at this moment that she truly realized the gap between herself and Su Xi.
Su Xi is kind.
Kind-hearted.
Unlike her, who is narrow-minded and only knows how to compete.
It's right that Lin also likes Su Xi.
Someone like her deserves to be disliked.
"Su Rou, bring me some vegetables in," the aunt called from inside.
Su Rou said she was coming and then turned around to get back to work.
At this moment, Su Xi stopped and turned to look towards the kitchen.
Su Rou's realization was something she had never imagined.
She thought that after all these things, she would resent her even more and might even do something to retaliate against her.
Unexpectedly, they ended up helping out at the orphanage.
Of course, Su Xi would not forget what Su Rou had done to her because of Su Rou's changes.
That's a scar for life.
Even if she recovers, the trauma she suffered can never be erased.
...
Dean Chen's office.
As soon as Su Xi walked in, Dean Chen asked bluntly, "Did you run into Su Rou?"
Su Rou's arrival at the orphanage to help was also unexpected by Director Chen.
Su Xi nodded. "I saw it."
The two sat down on the sofa, and Dean Chen started talking about Su Rou, "She was here yesterday, helping in the kitchen to cook, and she played with the children for most of the day."
At first, Lele was reluctant to get close to her, but now she calls her "sister."
Su Xi was startled.
Lele disliked Su Rou very much after she caused trouble at the orphanage last time.
Unexpectedly, he's now willing to be close to Su Rou.
"Su Rou isn't a bad person; she's just jealous. She brought gifts for the kids this morning, even though she's in a tough situation right now and struggling to make ends meet. I don't know where she got the money to buy so many snacks."
After saying that, Dean Chen sighed.
Su Xi listened quietly without making a sound.
Dean Chen thought she was unhappy, so he changed the subject, "Let's not talk about her anymore, let's talk about the filming work the day after tomorrow."
The image consultant's job is to cooperate with all the arrangements made by the orphanage.
Let's pass on this love.
Today, besides Su Xi, Xiao Mei and the filming team also came.
A group of people were chatting about work and lost track of time.
It wasn't until Su Rou came over to call everyone for dinner that the discussion ended.
"I have something to do, so I won't stay for dinner. Xiaomei, let me know if there are any work arrangements later." Su Xi glanced at the time and hurriedly walked out.
She was worried about Zhou Jingming being home alone.
Dean Chen urged him to stay, saying, "It's almost lunchtime, why don't you eat before you leave?"
Su Xi waved her hand, "Next time."
She brushed past Su Rou.
Su Rou called out to her, "If I make you lose your appetite, I can leave."
"Don't take everything on yourself. You're not that important." Su Xi scoffed and strode away through the door.
Su Rou's face turned deathly pale.
Her eyes were red.
But she quickly calmed down.
She kept telling herself that no matter how Su Xi treated her, it was something she had to endure.
Seeing that she had been standing still for a long time, Dean Chen thought she was sad and upset, so he went over and gently patted her back. "Su Xi is just not over it yet, don't take it to heart."
"No, it won't happen." Su Rou smiled.
If she can't even handle this kind of targeted talk, then...
How can she possibly repent?
"I'll go take care of the children," she said politely, nodding to the group before respectfully leaving.
She had only taken a few steps when a group of children rushed towards her.
"Sister Su Rou, is it time to eat? We're hungry."
Su Rou patted the hair of the nearest child and smiled gently, "Not yet. We can start eating after everyone arrives. But you can go wash your hands first."
The children were very obedient and ran off quickly.
Only Lele stood in front of Su Rou, blinking without moving.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the little one pouting and looking around, Su Rou bent down and squatted in front of her.
Lele pouted in disappointment, "I want to find Sister Xi'er."
"Sister Xi'er has to go now. If Lele needs any help, I can help you with that." Su Rou's hand gently stroked Lele's delicate face.
Looking at this face that resembled her own, she didn't know why, but her eyes suddenly felt a little sore.
A nameless sadness welled up in my heart.
