Chapter 483 - 220: But Mom, Life Is a Wilderness
"Okay."
"Sister Nuomi, who’s this big brother next to you?"
"Yeah, why didn’t Brother Xu Yun come with you? Is he sick?"
"This is another one of my friends. His name is Big Macaque."
Xino answered, "As for your Brother Xu Yun, he’s busy with work and couldn’t make it. I’ll definitely bring him to see you all next time, okay?"
"Xino, you’re here." Noticing the commotion outside, Dean He quickly walked over and ushered the children swarming around Xino back into the classroom for their lesson.
Then, her eyes fell on Xino’s arm, and she asked with concern, "What happened to your arm?"
"I was in a small car accident and accidentally broke it."
Xino said, "It’s nothing. It’ll be healed in a few more days."
"That’s good to hear. You must be careful when driving in the future." Dean He looked at Yan Can standing beside Xino and asked curiously, "Xino, and this is?"
"He’s my friend. He came with me today mainly because he wants to donate some money to your institute, to do a good deed."
Xino looked at Yan Can and asked, "Fatty Yan, isn’t that right?"
"Uh, that’s right."
Yan Can looked at Dean He and said with a smile, "I plan to donate 50,000. It’s not much, just a token of my sincerity."
"50,000? Didn’t you say 100,000 on the way here?"
"Ah? I must have misremembered. It’s 100,000." Yan Can was inwardly miserable. Being a chauffeur and a beast of burden wasn’t enough, now he had to bleed this much cash too.
"Mr. Yan, thank you for your kind intentions, but you can no longer donate the money directly to me. You’ll have to contact the Cloud Charity Organization first and transfer the money to their account."
"Cloud Charity Organization?"
Xino asked curiously, "Dean, I was just wondering, it seems like there’s some kind of happy occasion at the institute today? And I noticed even the sign at the gate has been changed. It’s now called the Cloud Welfare Institute."
"Yes, we just had a simple ribbon-cutting ceremony today."
Dean He explained with a smile, "Remember how you brought Xu Yun here last time? Not long after you left, a charity called Cloud found me and explained their intentions. So, I handed this shelter over to them.
From now on, this place belongs to them. I’m just helping to manage it."
Xino asked doubtfully, "This charity organization belongs to Xu Yun?"
"Yes, it’s his."
"..." Xino was speechless.
’Xu Yun actually has his own charity organization?’
Dean He continued, "However, he’s not the one in charge. It’s a young woman named Jiang Peiyao. She’s as beautiful as you are."
"Young, beautiful, woman?"
Xino didn’t hear anything else, but those words were crystal clear.
She was instantly on alert.
"Dean, do you have a picture of her?"
"I do. Their photographer just sent me a few shots to print out and hang on the public notice board."
Xino said impatiently, "Quick, let me see."
The dean took out her phone, opened the picture, and handed it to her. "It’s this woman in the blue dress."
"..." Xino was speechless.
’She’s a demure, ladylike, and warm kind of woman!’
As they were both women, and Dean He had been a young girl once herself, she naturally saw through Xino’s nervousness. She said with a smile, "Miss Xino, don’t you worry. I already asked for you. She is not Mr. Xu’s girlfriend."
"Did Xu Yun tell you that?"
"No, President Jiang told me."
Dean He said, "She said she wasn’t worthy of Mr. Xu."
"I don’t think she’s worthy of him either."
Yan Can couldn’t help but chuckle from the side. "Right, right. Only you are worthy of him."
"What, you disagree?"
Xino said irritably, "Go get the chocolates I bought for the kids from the car and hand them out."
"There are so many. I can’t carry them all by myself..."
"It’s fine. I’ll get someone to help you."
The dean went to the classroom door and said to Chen Rui and Dou Xiao, "You two, please help Mr. Yan get the gifts from the car."
"Okay, Dean."
Chen Rui and Dou Xiao came out and looked at Yan Can, who had been standing with Xino. One whispered, "So that’s the ’perfect couple’ you were talking about?"
"The girl is, but the guy isn’t the one from the other day."
"She switched guys?"
Dou Xiao said, "Rich girls are such players, huh?"
"Keep your voice down, or they’ll hear you."
As they spoke, the two arrived at the car. Seeing the Bentley, a luxury car worth millions, they couldn’t help but feel envious.
’Even though he’s not as handsome as the last guy, this one is seriously rich, too!’
Yan Can opened the trunk and said, "It’s all in here. Thanks for your help."
"Not at all, not at all. It’s our pleasure."
The two women immediately walked over and saw a trunk full of Louis Vuitton shopping bags.
Dou Xiao’s eyes instantly lit up, and she shot a quiet glance at her bestie.
’Here it is, here it is! The Louis Vuitton chocolate I’ve been dreaming of is back!’
Soon, each carrying over a dozen boxes, they arrived at the front of the classroom and placed everything on the ground.
"Thank you for your hard work, teachers."
Xino single-handedly picked up two boxes and handed them over. "A small gift for each of you. Later, I’ll also have to ask you to help me distribute these to the children, one box per child."
"Thank you! You’re too kind."
Chen Rui and Dou Xiao politely accepted the gifts and agreed, "We’ll hand them out after class."
"Great. I have to go now, I have something else to attend to."
Dean He walked them all the way out. "Take care."
"Goodbye, Dean."
As she was leaving, Xino got Jiang Peiyao’s contact information and the address of the charity organization from Dean He.
Yan Can asked, "Where to now? Home?"
"To the Cloud Charity Organization, of course."
"What are we going there for?"
"Didn’t you hear the dean? You have to go there to make your donation."
"..." Yan Can was speechless.
’Big Sis, are you really going there to donate? I don’t even have the heart to call you out!’
’No, I have to find a chance to give Brother Xu a heads-up.’
「On the other side of the city.」
Xu Yun and Lin Wanzhou had already driven their RV all the way from Shenzhen, crossed into the Guangxi region, and were now traveling along National Highway 219.
Lin Wanzhou, who was driving, was in the best mood of all, because from this moment on, they were truly entering his world.
This was the great road of the nation, starting in Guangxi and ending in Kenas, passing through Yunnan, Tibet, and Xinjiang. It is, without a doubt, the most magnificent and majestic 10,065 kilometers on Earth.
This also meant that from this moment on, the two of them had left the bustling cities far behind. Along the way, there would be no more five-star hotels or Michelin restaurants, only vast grasslands, great lakes, expansive deserts, and massive, snow-capped mountains.
They would begin to rough it, exposed to the elements, admiring the beautiful rivers and mountains of their homeland.
This was something Xu Yun had always wanted to do back in his school days but never had the money or time for!
The conditions on the road might be harsh and exhausting.
’But Mom, life is a wilderness!’
Suddenly, a picture from Fu Baoying popped up on his phone.
Curious, Xu Yun opened it to take a look.
"..."
Immediately after, she sent another message.
Fu Baoying: [Is this okay now? Tell me the answer!]
[You call this a bed photo?]
Xu Yun replied, looking exasperated, [This is barely even suggestive. Aren’t you being a little too half-hearted?!]
Fu Baoying: [You just said a bed photo, you didn’t specify what kind. So just tell me, is this one or not?]
[Fine, fine, you win.]
Xu Yun laughed. [Then I’ll tell you. The reason I was able to win two rounds in a row is because...]
[Because of what?]
[Because I’m lucky. What else could it be?]
In an office on Hong Kong Island, Fu Baoying stared at the message on her phone, her chest suddenly aching with rage!
’I knew it, I knew it was too good to be true!’
The usually calm and rational her couldn’t help but curse a certain someone again: "You despicable, shameless scoundrel!"
"ACHOO!"
In the RV, Xu Yun put down his phone and couldn’t help but sneeze. He muttered to himself, "I wonder who’s thinking about me now."
Lin Wanzhou laughed. "Maybe someone’s cursing you?"
"Impossible. A handsome and sharp man like me? Women only like me when they see me, why would they curse me?"
Xu Yun said confidently, "You remember President Fu from the Shatian racecourse, right?"
"I remember. What about her?"
"Ever since she met me, she hasn’t been able to stop thinking about me. She even sent me a bed photo just now, hoping to have dinner with me."
Xu Yun sighed and said, "But I turned her down. I’m not a fan of long-distance relationships."
"..." Lin Wanzhou was speechless.
’You really are a walking hormone.’
’I just hope he doesn’t go around charming any more ethnic minority girls on the rest of the trip!’
