Chapter 222: Ellie's eyes sparkled with curiosity

Su Chen's transformation caused misunderstanding and ridicule from those around him, but he insisted on his own path. Once, he met an old friend in a high-end restaurant. The old friend looked at Su Chen with disdain and teased: "Su Chen, you have really changed a lot. Now you have become a philanthropist and donated so much money. But don't you think these people are useless people from the bottom of society?"

Su Chen took a deep breath and responded calmly: "Everyone has the opportunity to change, as long as they are given a warm opportunity and correct guidance. I believe that no matter what a person's background is, they have the potential to create a better life. We don't have to worry about money every day and live a carefree life, but we must also remember to give back to society and light the way forward."

The old friend frowned and stopped talking. Su Chen knew that his decision would not be recognized by everyone, but this would not shake his determination to persevere.

Su Chen and Li Meng's life is full of unforgettable moments. Once, they participated in a charity sale together to raise funds for a primary school in a poor area. There, they saw the bright smiles of the children and felt the power of kindness and hope. Su Chen held Li Meng's hand tightly, knowing tacitly that this was the meaning of life he had been looking for.

They also visited the city's slums together to learn firsthand about the living conditions of the lower classes. There, they met a young couple who lived in poverty but had a firm love and dream. This experience made Su Chen more convinced that the true value of life lies not in money, but in love and dedication.

Although Su Chen has become a public welfare philanthropist, he has not given up his dream. He began to study social work, actively participated in various projects, and constantly improved his abilities. Li Meng became his mentor and helpful friend, and her tenacity and wisdom inspired him to keep moving forward.

In front of his family, Su Chen's persistence was gradually recognized. His parents began to pay attention to his charity work and gradually joined his career. The family's business also began to pay attention to social responsibility and actively participated in charity activities. Su Chen's change not only affected himself, but also the entire family.

The morning sun shone through the window into Su Chen and Li Meng's bedroom. Su Chen woke up and looked at Li Meng's smile, his heart full of gratitude. He gently kissed Li Meng's forehead and then sat up.

"Li Meng, let's go see the progress of the construction of the charity school today, and then go to the hospital to see the little girl who needs surgery, okay?" Su Chen suggested.

Li Meng nodded. She knew that this was an important event of the day for Su Chen, who always devoted himself to charity work. They quickly finished breakfast and drove to the construction site of the charity school.

At the construction site, the construction workers were busy, Su Chen and Li Meng communicated with them about the progress and encouraged them to keep working hard. Su Chen watched the outline of the school gradually become clear, and a sense of accomplishment arose in his heart.

In the afternoon, they went to the hospital to visit the little girl. The little girl's family looked at Su Chen and Li Meng with gratitude, knowing that without their help, the operation would be a huge burden. Li Meng patted the little girl's head and comforted her gently.

Back home, Su Chen decided to invite some friends out for dinner to celebrate the progress of the charity school. He called a long-time friend, Zhao Peng, and invited him to go along.

In the evening, Su Chen drove his Porsche to the restaurant, where Zhao Peng was already waiting. Zhao Peng was a man with a sense of humor and sociability, and their friendship began in college.

"Su Chen, why haven't you had a drink in such a long time?" Zhao Peng asked with a smile, "Would you like to have a drink to celebrate?"

Su Chen smiled and shook his head. "No, I've quit drinking now. I think I can enjoy life more when I'm sober, and I can help those in need more."

Zhao Peng was a little surprised, but then he understood Su Chen's decision. "Well, I support you. Your recent charity project is really great, and I am proud of you."

The dinner was cheerful and warm, Su Chen and Zhao Peng recalled many interesting things in college. As they were chatting, Zhao Peng's cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the screen and his face changed slightly.

"Sorry, Su Chen, I have to go. There's an emergency at home. Goodbye, we'll meet next time." Zhao Peng hurriedly left the restaurant.

After dinner, Su Chen felt that it was still early, so he invited a few friends to go to a high-end nightclub. This nightclub was one of the luxurious experiences he had ever enjoyed in his life.

His friends gladly accepted the invitation and went to the nightclub together. When they entered the nightclub, the lights were flashing, the music was humming, and the atmosphere was lively. Su Chen's friends were all elites in the social circle. They talked to people skillfully and interacted with other guests with a smile.

One of Su Chen's friends is Yang Ming, a successful investor. As soon as Yang Ming saw Su Chen, he burst into laughter and patted him on the shoulder.

"Su Chen, you are so rare! You actually quit drinking?" Yang Ming shouted and asked the waiter to pour a glass of red wine, then pushed it in front of Su Chen.

"Yes, I have some new lifestyle recently." Su Chen responded with a smile, but he refused the red wine.

Yang Ming shrugged, "Everyone has their own preferences. However, I heard that your recent charity project is quite good, which is worthy of admiration."

Su Chen nodded modestly, and then they began to chat about the latest trends in the investment market. Yang Ming shared some of his recent success stories, and Su Chen listened with great interest.

As the night went on, everyone enjoyed food and drinks while dancing. Su Chen's partner was a young woman named Ai Li, an artist, full of creativity and energy. They danced on the dance floor, completely immersed in the rhythm of the music.

"Your life looks wonderful, Su Chen." Ellie's eyes sparkled with curiosity, and she developed a strong interest in Su Chen's charity work.

Su Chen smiled and nodded, "Yes, but the recent changes have made me cherish everything more. I feel that my life has a deeper meaning."

In the nightclub, the music on the dance floor was humming, and people were dancing happily. Su Chen and his friends continued to enjoy this bustling night. Suddenly, a mysterious lady walked in wearing a gorgeous evening dress, holding a bottle of expensive red wine in her hand.

“Hey, look here!” she announced loudly. “This is a bottle of wine worth thousands of dollars, and I decided to play with you!”
