After Yan Zi finished cooking, Jiang Nanmu came back to pick up the children, and Luo Yingtao also forced herself to sit up from the bed.
Looking at the table full of steaming food, she excitedly said to Yan Zi, "Yan Zi, thank you so much. I'm really touched that you came to see me. Only in times of adversity can one experience true friendship. This adversity has made me see through many people and things. You are the only true friend I have."
Yan Zi comforted her with concern, "Cherry, think positively. No matter what happens, I will always support you. You have to believe that the storm will eventually pass. You have to stay cheerful, which is good for your health."
"Well, thank you!"
A true heart is revealed in times of adversity. Luo Yingtao had long been notorious among her friends, but Yan Zi came to visit her when she was down and out. This care moved her to tears. After the Mingdan Company fraud case broke out, many people were trying to avoid it. During this difficult time, Yan Zi sent her sincere greetings as always, and Luo Yingtao felt warm in her heart. A friend who helps someone in times of need is a true friend.
After Gao Huai was arrested, Zhao Haitang learned that there had been progress in the Mingdan Company case. He specially bought gifts and invited Lin Moli, Li Xiangcao and Lan Dujuan to visit Si Mingda and Wang Mudan.
After two years, several old classmates gathered again in Simingda's villa. Compared with Mengbao's hundred-day party last time, the atmosphere of this meeting seemed much more depressing. In the past two years, they have all experienced company losses, family changes, and unhappy marriages. Everyone is in a heavy mood. Things are no longer the same as before.
The laughter of the past has become a thing of the past. Recalling the joyful scenes at the Hundred Days Banquet, one can't help but sigh. When one is in the world, how can one avoid being hurt? Fate always takes the unexpected, bringing some unexpected disasters and changes to their lives. When their marriage, family and work are all in turmoil, how will they face it?
Nanny Zhou knew that Simingda and Wang Mudan were in a bad mood. After giving Zhao Haitang and others some fruits and snacks, she took the cute baby Aidan out for a walk.
Simingda looked at his old classmates thoughtfully and said with all his strength, "Have some candy. It's a rare occasion for us to get together. Let's not be so serious and have some fun."
After saying that, he grabbed a few handfuls of candy and handed them to Zhao Haitang and the others, saying, "Come, have something to eat. We are all old classmates, so just order whatever you want."
Wang Mudan was also in a heavy mood, but since several old classmates came to visit her enthusiastically, she had to put on a cheerful face. She stood up, cut a few pieces of fruit, handed them to them, and said, "Haitang, Dujuan, Xiangcao, Jasmine, you guys can have some fruit."
Zhao Haitang took the fruit and looked at the thin and old Wang Mudan. He said distressedly, "Mudan, you've lost a lot of weight. Now that the case is progressing, there's hope for recovering the money. You need to be more open-minded and stop making yourself suffer."
Wang Mudan said sadly, "How can I feel good after so many things have happened?"
Zhao Haitang subconsciously glanced at Si Mingda and angrily said to Wang Mudan, "Mudan, this is all the fault of that devil Luo Yingtao. As a financial officer, how could she be so careless? She should at least have some basic professional ethics, right? If she can't even keep her employer's financial information confidential, who would dare to hand over the accounts to her?"
"Humph!" Wang Mudan also glanced at Si Mingda and said meaningfully, "So her accounting company couldn't continue, so she just went home early to retire."
Lin Moli and Luo Yingtao had always had a bad relationship. She curled her lips and took over the conversation, saying, "Luo Yingtao is still the same as before. She can't keep a word to herself and is very vain. If someone just coaxes her a little, she'll say anything. You're really unlucky to have met her. I've never been in agreement with her, so I rarely interact with her."
Even though Luo Yingtao had made a huge mistake, she was Si Mingda's first love after all. Several girls scolded Luo Yingtao in front of him, and they had to consider his feelings.
Lin Moli's reckless scolding really embarrassed Simingda. Zhao Haitang was worried that Simingda was upset. She subconsciously glanced at Simingda and asked, "Si Mingda, we are quite direct in our words. I hope you don't have any thoughts. Besides, the two disasters that Mingdan Company suffered were caused by Luo Yingtao. The reason we are dissatisfied with her is that her actions were too extreme."
Simingda quickly said, "It's okay, you guys can chat freely, I don't mind. In my heart, that woman is already dead. She made me bankrupt and almost killed me. Why should I care about her feelings?"
Zhao Haitang nodded in agreement and said, "Society is a melting pot. The changes in Luo Yingtao and Gao Huai are simply incredible. Even if you don't care about your friendship as a classmate, there's no need to harm them, right?"
Lin Moli sneered and said, "Money is a good thing. It can change their minds. That's why they become unscrupulous and ruthless."
The classmates' complaints and criticisms of Luo Yingtao deepened Si Mingda's inner guilt and regret. He hated himself for being impulsive and making careless friends, which allowed the bad guys' conspiracy to succeed.
Although Lin Moli and Zhao Haitang's comments on Luo Yingtao were a bit extreme, Si Mingda had to admit that what they said were all true. What else could he say except remain silent?
The intense shame made him afraid to look up at his old classmate. He felt a mixture of regret and self-blame. If he and Luo Yingtao hadn't rekindled their old feelings after their reunion, how could such a series of disasters have occurred? Now it was too late to regret!
Among these female classmates, Lan Dujuan had the best relationship with Luo Yingtao. Seeing her classmates accusing her of being treacherous and fickle, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her. She said, "We've known Luo Yingtao for many years and we all understand her character. Although she's certainly very casual in her relationships, she's not a bad person at heart. Everyone knows this. Her biggest flaw is her simplicity. Gao Huai took advantage of her weakness and seized the opportunity to attack Mingdan Company. I believe she did it unintentionally. Please don't blame her too much. She's sick and in pain right now, it's quite pitiful."
