===================

Bell didn't know how to comfort him. She thought about it and asked, "Is it hard for you to accept this? I mean, for your money?"

Rhett didn't know why she asked, and looked at her silently.

"But, I mean, this kind of thing has happened before, don't you accept it? You also said that this is very good, as long as you have money, you don't have to worry about not being liked by women." Bell said cautiously, "This Once, why not accept it? Why are you so serious?"

Yeah, why do you have to be serious this time?Wouldn't it be great if Su Lun really liked his money?As long as he has money, he will never worry that she will leave him.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that he had unknowingly become greedy, and he seemed to want too much from Su Lun.

But when he thinks this way, he always feels empty in his heart, a little lost, and has not made up his mind.

For the first time, he knew that he was a greedy person, shouldn't he be greedy?he asked himself.

"But she won't promise me what I said today. She is proud. Although she never said it, I know that she is the proudest one I have ever seen." He lowered his head, somewhat upset.

Thinking of the words he said indiscriminately, those words that normal women can't stand, regret immediately flooded his heart, his mouth felt a little bitter, and he took another sip of wine.

pride?Bell didn't understand him because the word clearly didn't fit the girl he had just described.

In his description, that girl was a lively lady, why did he say she was proud?

She became a little curious about what kind of girl was so contradictory and made him so fascinated.

It's just that she may never see that girl, because her identity is dirty, shy, and has no intersection with those ladies.

Su Lun returned to Atlanta the next day. She thought she would never see Rhett again, but she didn't expect to see him again three days later, at the charity ball.

She and Mrs. Smith were talking, and beside them stood a brown-haired man, Edward Smith, Mrs. Smith's son.

Mrs. Smith intends to match them up, but Su Lun did not firmly refuse, because there is no hope of completing the love line with the hero, she will try her best to find a man with the attributes of the hero, and see if she can complete the love line.

Edward is still in the observation period. She feels that he meets many conditions of a male lead, such as being handsome and talented, but he lacks a little personality and a fly in the ointment.

Now she doesn't think about Rhett anymore, she thought about it, and felt that she should be too proactive, which made the male lead feel that she was not reserved enough, which led to the failure of the mission.

You can only give up this time, and you must avoid repeating the crime next time.Now I can only try various methods and do a little remedial work to avoid deducting too many points.

The charity ball was held by the military department and the orphanage, and all the people present were from the upper class, as well as some officers and soldiers from the militia.

"Su Lun, you talk to Edward, I'll come back as soon as I go." Mrs. Smith obviously wanted to match her and Edward, so she found an excuse and slipped away.

"Miss Su Lun, can you dance with me for the first time today?" Edward was still so enthusiastic, his face could already be seen clearly, and he was quite handsome.

Su Lun agreed, when a petite woman walked up to her.

She has no distinctive appearance, she can only be considered pretty, and her voice is soft and shy: "Su Lun, it's really you. I heard that you came to Atlanta. I'm still thinking about when to visit you."

Who is she?

It looked really familiar. Su Lun's mind was running wildly, and he smiled and said, "Yeah, long time no see."

"My sister-in-law, I mean, how is Scarlett, is she okay?" She seemed to have no intention of leaving, as if she had a long chat.

Sister-in-law, Scarlett?You can't be wrong, it's Melanie!

Su Lun smiled and said, "She's not bad? Although she's depressed, she's in good health and the child is not bad."

"That's very good, poor Scarlett. I'm obliged to take care of her for my brother. I really want to take her back and take care of her, but I think she can be better cared for with her mother." Melanie still looks sad when she thinks of her brother Charles who died.

"Melanie, think about Charles' child, he will be born soon, he may be a little boy like Charles." Su Lun took her hand and comforted her.

"Yes, I will take good care of them." Melanie didn't want to make people worry, she showed a shy smile, indicating that she was much better.

Su Lun really couldn't help but like Melanie, she chatted with Melanie again.

"Sullen, have you heard? The rules announced by Dr. Meade?"

Melanie looked around sheepishly.

"Yes, what's the matter?" She still proposed the prom rules with reference to the original book.

Dr. Meade is the dean of the orphanage. He took Su Lun's suggestion and proposed that donations can be obtained through bidding during the ball.

There is a plot in the original book, Rhett pays a high price to ask Scarlett to dance, so that she will be saved from the plight of being a widow who cannot dance.

However, this kind of auction behavior is not in line with the church's thinking, and everyone is talking about it, but the donation is also in line with political correctness, so no one objects.

What I want to explain here is that the medical system at this time is underdeveloped, and there are no professional hospitals. Generally, patients see a doctor at home and are taken care of by their family members.

The orphanage is for people without family members, and some women need to be transferred to act as temporary nurses, so Melanie and Scarlett went to the hospital to help in the original book.

Su Lun's job is to find a way to build a general hospital, train professional medical staff and medical means.

Fortunately, she invented penicillin, which can prevent many unnecessary casualties.Can you imagine?Once the wounded soldiers were infected, their limbs would be amputated by unprofessional methods. Compared with those killed in battle, more soldiers died of inflammation.

Moreover, the damage caused by amputation is irreversible. After the war, many disabled people are bound to be left behind, which is a heavy burden on society.

Therefore, as the war progressed, Su Lun's reputation continued to increase. It can be said that she is now one of the most famous people in the country.

Her current job is to establish a professional surgical mechanism. The one-size-fits-all amputation in the past was too simple and rude, and there was no concept of disinfection.Therefore, she published a lot of relevant medical knowledge in the newspaper.

Thanks to her strong reputation, her theory was promoted, not only in the South, but also in the North.

To build a hospital, a lot of money is needed, and that's what this ball is for.

"It's really embarrassing. It's incredible to dance through the auction method." Melanie blushed and whispered.

"You see, although the girls are shy, they are looking forward to making contributions to the South. I think the men will not object." Su Lun asked Melanie to look at the excited men and women around her.

It's not just that they don't object, in her opinion, these people are looking forward to it.For many people, war is far away from them, and having fun in life is the point.

This kind of auction method, on the one hand, allows women to prove their charm and show off, and on the other hand, allows men to prove their financial resources and generosity, and show off themselves. Everyone is looking forward to it.

Melanie heard Su Lun's subtext, looked at her helplessly, and said with a smile: "Su Lun, you are so naughty, I'm sure what you want to say is more straightforward."

"Aren't I right?" Su Lun really wanted to joke, the failure of the love line made her a little depressed.

"Oh, dear, keep your voice down so that no one can hear you." Melanie looked around and suddenly whispered, "My dear, there is a gentleman who has been watching you. Do you know him?"

"Where is it?" Su Lun felt strange, looked in the direction she had just looked, and opened her eyes wide in surprise.

What the hell?Why is Rhett here?What was he doing looking at her like that, he was still smiling at her, did he lose his memory?Didn't they quarrel a few days ago and parted ways?

Su Lun was puzzled, and under Melanie's curious gaze, she said absently, "It's just someone I know, and I don't have any deep acquaintances."

She didn't know whether Melanie believed it or not, but with Melanie's empathy, she must have seen that she didn't really want to talk about it, so she didn't ask any more.

The ball officially began, and the first auction was a Miss Green, which sold for fifty dollars.

"Mr. Martin, offer Miss Green a dance for thirty dollars," announced Dr. Meade.

The music was immediately played by the band, it was a waltz, and Mr. Martin and the shy Miss Green immediately became the center of the crowd. They stood aside and waited for the results of others.

"Miss Merlin Garcia, fifty dollars," called a young man in military uniform.

Fifty dollars is really too much, a discussion erupted in the crowd immediately, and everyone's eyes were on a blonde lady, she must be Merlin Garcia.

A pair of dance partners was established, and then there were one after another in the hall, and five pairs were sold one after another.Then, at some point, people turned their attention to Su Lun.

I only heard the constant ringing in the hall:

"Miss Sullen O'Hara, seventy dollars." It was a stranger's voice, Su Lun looked at him strangely.

"I'll offer a hundred dollars." It was Edward Smith's, Suellen expected.

"I'll offer two hundred dollars—gold coins." This familiar voice was the inexplicable Rhett.

The crowd was in an uproar, this is really too much, many people have never seen so much money in their lives!

Unexpectedly, the bidding was still going on, Edward blushed, and continued: "I give you 250 dollars—gold coins, please Miss Su Lun to dance."

The crowd was silent, they felt so shocked, their eyes circled back and forth at Su Lun, Edward, and Reid, excited and expectant, they were gossipy eyes.

Su Lun was a little embarrassed. She stopped Reid with her eyes, but saw him grinning and shouting viciously: "Five hundred dollars, is there anyone going to increase the price?"

No one dared to raise the price anymore. Edward's face was pale. Under the restraint of Mrs. Smith, he didn't speak any more and could only watch the ball start.
