Chapter 32

"Thank you, thank you!" Di Huixiu, tears in her eyes, accepted the money from Gu Ruicong, but kept her head bowed, not lifting it again.

"Since the class leader has set the example, I, as a class committee member, should follow suit!" Chen Kai smiled and also took out a red envelope.

Gu Ruicong had already informed him beforehand, so his red envelope contained 50,000 yuan.

When Di Huixiu saw the thick stack of money in the red envelope, she was instantly frightened.

"I can't accept this money, take it back, take it back!"

During their school days, she and Chen Kai were enemies. Back then, Chen Kai, seeing her as an easy target, tried to take advantage of her, but she reported him to the school administration. The incident had a terrible impact, and Chen Kai was given a major demerit. For four whole years, they did not speak to each other.

How could she accept Chen Kai's money?

"I'll keep it, I'm not short of money. Today's meal alone will cost over ten thousand yuan!"

"No, no!" Di Huixiu shook her head nervously.

"Ha ha, are you afraid I'll take advantage of you again? To be honest, you don't look good at all, you can't even compare to my Bingbing!" Chen Kai laughed and put his arm around the female celebrity beside him.

"Annoying!" The female celebrity let out a delicate, coquettish complaint.

"I really can't accept it!" Di Huixiu was still shaking her head.

"If you keep saying no, then please do me a favor and throw it in the trash outside. I've already done what I promised to Old Gu!" Chen Kai was getting impatient.

"Just take it. It's been so many years, Chen Kai doesn't mind, and you shouldn't either. He's giving you the money out of kindness." Gu Ruicong persuaded her from the side.

Di Huixiu didn't want Chen Kai's money, but she really needed it. After hesitating for a moment, she bowed to Chen Kai and said, "Thank you, thank you!"

Chen Kai, however, ignored her and focused on entertaining the female celebrity beside him.

Next, other people started to donate money. These donations were not as generous, ranging from a hundred to a thousand yuan. Everyone had their own financial situations; who could afford to give away money without a second thought?

When it was Lu Xinli's turn, he didn't match Chen Kai's generosity and only took out 5,000 yuan. However, among all the donors, this was the second-highest amount. Di Huixiu, seeing such a large sum, thanked him several times.

Ma Leyou also prepared 5,000 yuan. Although he was a government official with a decent income, he was far from matching Lu Xinli and Chen Kai, who were truly wealthy. Moreover, he was a henpecked husband, and it took a lot of pleading to get his wife to approve the 5,000 yuan.

Now that Lu Xinli had only donated 5,000 yuan, his donation of 5,000 yuan wasn't too little, and he could rank second alongside Lu Xinli. However, when he took out the 5,000 yuan, he couldn't help but glance at Li Yi.

It was better not to look. When he saw Li Yi, Ma Leyou felt that Li Yi's gaze was scrutinizing, as if he was observing everyone through their donations. Instantly, a surge of blood rushed to his head, making him want to show off.

Biting his lip, Ma Leyou took out another 5,000 yuan. This 5,000 yuan was his wife's special allocation for half a year's cigarettes. Donating it meant he would have to bum cigarettes from others for the rest of the year.

However, he still combined the two 5,000 yuan and handed over 10,000 yuan to Di Huixiu, saying, "Huixiu, this is my small contribution!"

"Thank you, thank you!" Di Huixiu, never expecting Ma Leyou to donate 10,000 yuan, was moved to the point of trembling.

Ma Leyou patted Di Huixiu's shoulder and then sneakily glanced at Li Yi. He saw that Li Yi was also looking at him, his gaze full of encouragement, as if he had completely seen through his thoughts.

"Phew! That was close!" Ma Leyou patted his chest, took a deep breath, and then felt something was off.

Why do I care so much about his opinion? He's not my boss!

However, Ma Leyou didn't regret donating the extra 5,000 yuan. It seemed that after this donation, his soul had been elevated.

Soon it was Li Yi's turn. Li Yi leaned close to Lin Ruxue's ear and asked for her opinion.

Lin Ruxue had actually come for the donation. She was the worst-off among the classmates and, with her high standards, didn't want to attend the reunion and embarrass herself. But when she heard from Gu Ruicong that Di Huixiu had cancer, she still came.

Although she and Di Huixiu hadn't been in touch for years, they had been roommates for four years in college, and she felt she should do her part.

Lin Ruxue also brought 5,000 yuan. However, the significance of her 5,000 yuan was different from Lu Xinli's 5,000 yuan. As a single person living paycheck to paycheck, this 5,000 yuan was almost all she had, and she couldn't afford to give more.

Unfortunately, this 5,000 yuan, which should have been significant, was now completely overshadowed by Li Yi's presence!

After sitting down, he had talked about a billion yuan investment, and now could he really donate just 5,000 yuan? He should at least donate more than Chen Kai, right?

"Wife, you should have discussed this with me earlier." Hearing Lin Ruxue's whisper, Li Yi smiled and shook his head.

"Ah!" Lin Ruxue sighed, thinking to herself, I told you not to brag, but you didn't listen. Now how are we going to get out of this?

Li Yi turned around and saw that Chen Kai, Lu Xinli, and others were also looking at him, especially Chen Kai, whose gaze was full of challenge.

You, the rich man, aren't you wealthy? You said you can't even afford my trash?

Let's see how much you can donate!

"You don't need to worry, I'll handle it." Li Yi firmly pushed back Lin Ruxue's hand, which was about to take out the money.

"Fine, keep bragging." Lin Ruxue sighed, knowing that the 5,000 yuan couldn't be donated now and would have to wait until after the reunion to find a chance to give it to Di Huixiu.

"Ms. Di, hello. I just learned about your situation. I heard you were roommates with my wife for four years?" Li Yi asked calmly.

"Yes, that's right, I was roommates with Ruxue." Di Huixiu nodded.

"What a beautiful encounter. My Xue Xue is very concerned about you, so I announce that all your medical expenses will be covered by our corporation!"

"Ah?" Di Huixiu let out a gasp.

All the expenses?

She was in the late stages of cancer, and the medical expenses were like a bottomless pit, no matter how much money was spent. And this man in front of her said he would cover all the expenses?

This was too unbelievable!

All the classmates present also drew in a sharp breath. Covering all the expenses, that was too generous!

"Mr. Li, is this true? You can't be joking!" Gu Ruicong asked nervously.

If he had known there was such a wealthy man, why would he have organized the donation? Why would he have risked his family's stability to take out 3,000 yuan?

Li Yi said, "I wouldn't joke about something like this. When I say I'll cover all the expenses, I mean all the expenses. Ms. Di, if it's convenient, you can come next week... No, considering your current condition, I'll send the check to you."

Chen Kai and Lu Xinli's eyebrows furrowed. At this point, no one would dare to bluff. Bluffing to a cancer patient would be too heartless!

So, he really is a director of a wealthy corporation?

"Covering all the medical expenses, Mr. Li is truly remarkable!"

"Yes, amazing! Mr. Li is truly a great philanthropist!"

Lin Ruxue's classmates all sighed in admiration and realized that this man should indeed be sitting in the main seat; he deserved it!

Only Lin Ruxue herself frowned. She had known her nephew since he was a child and had given him most of his pocket money. Where was this corporation?

If it weren't for the many people in the private room and the face she was about to lose, she would have run over and slapped Li Yi!

Li Yi, seeing the murderous look in Lin Ruxue's eyes, leaned close to her ear and said with a slight smile, "Wife, rest assured, I can really cover all the medical expenses!"
