Sometimes, money can't buy everything.
She wanted to call home, but there was no phone line at her hometown. Standing by the window, looking at the lights of thousands of homes outside, filled with joy and harmony, her heart ached.
Su Yourong has many friends and knows most of the business community in Hong Kong, but at this moment she has no one to chat with for a while. After thinking it over, she called Lu Feng.
They first called the company, and then got Lu Feng's phone number at his villa in Sanya.
"The phone is ringing, probably a New Year's greeting. Duoduo, go answer the phone," Jiang Xiaoyan called out while watching TV.
Duo Duo ran over and answered the phone, saying, "Happy New Year, this is Duo Duo. Who is this?"
"This is Aunt Su. Please have your father answer the phone." Su Yourong's voice came from the other end of the line.
Duo Duo turned her head to look at Lu Feng, and Jiang Xiaoyan asked, "Who is it?"
“It was a woman looking for my dad. She said she was Aunt Su,” Duoduo replied.
The first thing that came to Jiang Xiaoyan's mind was the image of Su Yourong entering her home back then. She was so beautiful and proud, like a proud peacock.
Lu Feng had also told her about Su Yourong on and off.
Lu Feng could tell that Jiang Xiaoyan and Zhang Fengxia seemed a little unhappy, so he said to Duoduo, "Just say I'm busy and can't talk about work, then hang up."
Jiang Xiaoyan felt a little sorry for her and said, "It's the Lunar New Year, and she's all alone in Hong Kong with no relatives or friends. She probably just wants to chat with you for a while. Why don't you go and chat with her for a bit?"
Lu Feng was stunned when he heard her words. He originally thought that Jiang Xiaoyan had some experience in the business world and was different from before, but he didn't expect her to still be so considerate.
“I’m not here to chat with people. You, you’ll be able to recruit a whole bunch of people for me in just a few years,” Lu Feng sighed.
“What’s there to talk about? That Su Yourong doesn’t seem like a good person at all. I’ve met her twice, and I don’t have a very good impression of her. It’s best to stay away from people like that,” Zhang Fengxia said.
“It’s the New Year, the three of us can chat anyway, one more person won’t hurt.” Jiang Xiaoyan said to Duoduo, “Give me the phone and put it on speakerphone.”
Lu Feng leaned back in his chair and muttered, "You must be some kind of saint reincarnated!"
The phone was put on speakerphone, and Jiang Xiaoyan politely said into the phone, "Happy New Year."
"It's you. Did I disturb you?" Su Yourong asked.
"You knew about this too?" Zhang Fengxia said from the side, "Can't you stand being alone? Calling him during the New Year, are you just overwhelmed with longing?"
Su Yourong knew the people around Lu Feng quite well, and said, "Yeah, it's too much, is that a problem?"
"It's the Lunar New Year, you don't need to be so harsh. Even if it's rampant, he can't go anyway," Zhang Fengxia said irritably.
"That's still better than you. You've already breached your dam, and you're helpless, aren't you?" Su Yourong retorted without any politeness.
"Can't you speak a human language? Have some shame. It's the New Year, be mindful of the occasion." Zhang Fengxia said with a displeased expression, "Everyone knows what kind of person you are. You've been with so many men, you probably don't even remember yourself."
"Hehe!" Su Yourong chuckled softly on the phone; "That's still more important than yours..."
"Hey, hey, hey!!" Lu Feng exclaimed, "You can't just say things like that!"
"Alright, you two stop arguing," Jiang Xiaoyan couldn't help but say.
"I'm speaking up for you. Don't you know what kind of person she is?" Zhang Fengxia was a little unhappy and simply sat there without saying a word.
Jiang Xiaoyan chatted with Su Yourong. No matter who was in front of her, they could all calm down. Jiang Xiaoyan was gentle at heart, and she could chat well with even Su Yourong. She talked about the difficulties she faced being alone in Hong Kong. A woman alone abroad is most vulnerable at times like this.
As the Spring Festival Gala played, the group chatted on the phone. Su Yourong on the other end was sobbing incessantly. They hadn't talked about work that night, only about her personal hardships. Jiang Xiaoyan listened with a sorrowful expression and kept comforting her.
Lu Feng lay half-reclined on the sofa and watched the Spring Festival Gala for a while before taking Duo Duo to the beach to set off firecrackers. Year after year, adults have long lost their anticipation for the New Year and just let it pass by!
