After the divorce, I became a rich girl

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Jiawei booked a high-speed rail ticket to Beijing. Li Jianguo and Li Jiawei both disliked flying. She felt that flying in the sky was insecure.

Hu Quan sent Li Jiawei to Xishi High-speed Railway Station. Because her left arm had not fully recovered and she could not lift anything heavy, she only pulled a small suitcase, which contained only daily toiletries and a few sets of underwear. As for other clothes, they could be bought in Jingshi at any time.

Li Jiawei was sitting in the VIP room of the high-speed rail station. There were not many people in the VIP room. Apart from her, there were only five people, all of whom were quietly doing their own things.

She brewed a cup of instant coffee and casually opened a fashion magazine, browsing the exquisitely designed clothes and accessories. However, every time she glanced at the price tags below, she would frown unconsciously.

Although she has experienced a luxurious life, she still finds it difficult to adapt to the prices that easily reach tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions. These monetary figures are just numbers to rich people, but they are a necessity for ordinary people.

Perhaps it is because she has experienced the hardships of ordinary people that most of the time she is unable to empathize with the rich. She cannot understand the added value of wearing luxury goods, but she can always better understand the difficulties of ordinary people. She knows that these huge monetary figures are incompatible with the world of ordinary people.

Li Jiawei's seat was in the business car, which had been carefully prepared by the staff: soft slippers, carefully selected snacks, and warm blankets, all of which demonstrated dignity and meticulousness.

This was her first time to experience business class, and everything was new to her. In stark contrast to the compact layout of first- and second-class carriages, the business class only had three seats in a row, which was spacious and private, giving her a completely different travel experience.

As the luggage was properly placed by the staff, Li Jiawei slowly sat down, but an indescribable emotion rose in her heart. This was not pure joy or excitement, but a complex feeling of blockage.

She clearly knew that if she had not been recognized by the Li family, she might never have been able to touch this world full of wealth and luxury, and she would not have known that the gap between the rich and the poor in society could be so great. This realization made her feel emotional and thoughtful while enjoying this preferential treatment.

As the high-speed train was about to start, another passenger got on the train. Li Jiawei looked up and saw a familiar man. She couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Lawyer He!"

He Zhizhou turned around and saw that it was Li Jiawei. He smiled and said, "Miss Li, what a coincidence. What are you doing..."

Li Jiawei smiled and responded, "I'm going to Beijing to visit my parents. How about you, Lawyer He?"

"What a coincidence, I'm also going to Beijing, but for work." He Zhizhou said, his tone revealing a bit of helplessness but also a hint of comfort.

Hearing this, Li Jiawei sighed softly, "You are so hard-working. You can't even have a good rest during the Chinese New Year and you still have to be busy with work."

Coincidentally, He Zhizhou's seat was next to Li Jiawei. He put away his luggage neatly, sat down and said with a smile, "Although it's hard work, the commission is very generous, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation."

The high-speed train started slowly, and the carriage returned to silence. He Zhizhou politely apologized to Li Jiawei, then took out a laptop and a folder from his briefcase, obviously ready to start working.

"I have some work to take care of, you..." There was a hint of apology in He Zhizhou's words.

Li Jiawei quickly expressed her understanding, "You go about your business, don't worry about me." She watched He Zhizhou quickly and attentively devote himself to his work. He sometimes quickly browsed the computer screen, sometimes flipped through the folders in his hands, and occasionally circled and marked on the documents. His concentration and efficiency all demonstrated his professional qualities as an elite lawyer.

Watching He Zhizhou's busy figure, Li Jiawei couldn't help but feel admiration in her heart. She knew very well that she was not a person with outstanding abilities and would never be able to reach the professional heights reached by social elites like He Zhizhou. But it was this sense of distance that made her sincerely admire these people who shine in their respective fields. People are like this, the less they have, the more they admire!

"Brave people enjoy the world first", this sentence may make sense, but in Li Jiawei's heart, she wants to say "Smart and hardworking people enjoy the world first."

After spending some time with her phone, Li Jiawei finally couldn't resist the sleepiness, gently put down the seat back, put on a soft blanket, and soon fell asleep. She knew that she could not become a brilliant elite, so she chose to give herself a comfortable rest during this short journey.

When she was gently shaken awake, she saw He Zhizhou's gentle smile. "Miss Li, we've arrived," he reminded her softly. Li Jiawei threw back her blanket, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and was surprised to find that the high-speed train was slowly approaching the platform. "We're here so soon," she murmured to herself.

Seeing this, He Zhizhou smiled and asked, "Do you have a lot of luggage? Do you need my help?" Li Jiawei waved her hand quickly, saying that her luggage was just a small box and was very light. "No, thank you, Lawyer He, I can do it myself."

As the high-speed train came to a steady stop, the two got off together. Li Jiawei pushed her small suitcase and followed closely beside He Zhizhou.

At the exit, a well-dressed girl was holding a sign with "He Zhizhou" on it, looking around anxiously. Li Jiawei saw this and said to He Zhizhou beside her, "Lawyer He, is that girl here to pick you up?"

He Zhizhou followed Li Jiawei's line of sight and nodded, "That should be it. Miss Li, where are you going next? Do you need me to give you a ride?"

Li Jiawei smiled and shook her head. "Lawyer He, no need. I can just take a taxi myself. Don't you have something else to do?"

He Zhizhou raised his hand to check the time. It was indeed close to the time agreed with the client, so he did not insist and said, "Okay, Miss Li, I will leave first. I will stay in Beijing for about a week. If you need any help, you can call me."

Li Jiawei said gratefully, "Okay, thank you, Lawyer He. Go ahead and do your work."

Afterwards, she watched He Zhizhou walk towards the girl holding the sign. After a brief conversation, the two quickly left the high-speed rail station together.

Li Jiawei pushed her suitcase and followed the taxi signs in the station, moving forward step by step. As it was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, many people who had been away from home for the New Year had started their journey back to Beijing, and a long queue had formed in front of the taxi stop. She waited for more than 20 minutes before getting a taxi.

With the car door closed, Li Jiawei was isolated from the outside world and leaned back in her seat, admiring the bustling streets of Beijing through the car window. There were tall buildings and a constant flow of cars. Although the festive atmosphere had gradually faded, the city's vitality remained unabated.

She took out her cell phone and called her father. Li Jianguo's familiar and warm voice soon came from the other end of the line, "Hello, Jiawei, are you here?"

"Dad, I just got in a taxi and am on my way home." Li Jiawei replied, her voice filled with a hint of eagerness and joy to return home.

"Okay, okay, be careful on the road. I told your sister-in-law to pick you up, but you refused. Your mother has already started preparing dinner and is waiting for you to come back." Li Jianguo's words were full of expectation and concern.

"Dad, it's very convenient for me to take a taxi home. Don't worry, I will be there soon." Li Jiawei responded with a smile.

The scenery outside the car window keeps changing. The warmth and happiness of being reunited with family is like the sun in winter, warm and bright.
