Chapter 408: Chapter 194: I Am a First-Generation Rich, All My Money Is My Own (3)
’For my daughter to only have a broken arm after such a terrible car crash... it’s a true blessing!’
Then, he thought of Xu Yun.
"What about Xu Yun? Is he okay?"
"He’s fine."
Xino suddenly said, a hint of pride in her voice, "He even grabbed the first-aid kit from the car and immediately ran to help the injured passengers, giving them emergency first aid."
As she spoke, Xino sat down next to him, picked up her phone, and played a video for her dad that had been posted online today about Xu Yun saving people.
"Dad, look at him. Isn’t he handsome?"
The middle-aged man was speechless.
He had already seen a photo of Xu Yun, so he recognized him in the video at a glance.
Seeing him alive and in action was far more telling than a photograph.
Watching the footage of Xu Yun providing aid at the scene, he asked subconsciously, "He knows how to do all that?"
"Dad, you don’t know him."
Xino said, showing off, "He’s amazing, okay? He knows so many things. When my arm was broken, he set it himself with his bare hands. He’s way better than the doctors at the hospital."
"Who’s that helping him?"
"Yan Can, my friend."
Xino said, "He’s even luckier than I am. His car flipped several times on the highway, but he was completely fine, just a little bump on his head."
"He was scared stiff at the time. He only snapped out of it when Xu Yun called him over to help."
You can tell a lot about a person from a single action.
To remain so calm after such a sudden, severe accident, taking care of the people around him and even treating others—it spoke volumes about his character.
The middle-aged man asked, "Your Xu Yun, did he come back too?"
"No."
Xino pouted. "He sent us back and continued the trip with the tour guide."
The middle-aged man was speechless.
’What kind of situation is this? He still wants to go on his trip?’
’Does he really have to go?’
「Meanwhile」
In a high school office in Jianghuai County, Gao Wenwen, who had just finished her evening self-study session, was scrolling through TikTok when she came across the video of Xu Yun saving people at the car crash.
She immediately tried to call him to ask about the situation, but after several attempts, the call wouldn’t go through.
He wasn’t replying to her WeChat messages either.
Even though he looked fine in the video, she was still a little worried.
Someone else saw the video too.
Chen Xin also tried to contact Xu Yun right away, but like Gao Wenwen, she couldn’t get through. She immediately knocked on the door next door and ran over to tell Zhang Sujuan what had happened.
After hearing the news, Zhang Sujuan immediately contacted her son.
Xu Yun had always had two phone numbers: one for everyone else, and one for his mom.
When Zhang Sujuan called, Xu Yun picked up within a few seconds and asked with a laugh, "Mom, why are you calling me so late?"
"I saw the news about the car crash today."
Zhang Sujuan asked with concern, "I saw you were at the scene. How are you? Are you hurt?"
"I was lucky, I’m fine. I was just helping the injured. Don’t worry, Mom."
"That’s good."
Zhang Sujuan breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, confused, "Son, what are you doing in Guilin?"
"I’m on a trip."
"Alright then. Get some rest."
Zhang Sujuan added as a reminder, "Be careful on the road. Drive safely, and stay far away from the big trucks."
"Okay."
"If Chen Xin hadn’t seen the video, failed to reach you, and then come to tell me, I wouldn’t have even known about this."
"It wasn’t a big deal. Telling you would have just made you worry."
Xu Yun laughed. "Could you also tell Chen Xin for me not to worry? I’m fine."
"If you want to tell her, tell her yourself."
Zhang Sujuan looked at Chen Xin, who was standing beside her, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to say a few words to Xu Yun?"
"No, that’s okay, Auntie."
Chen Xin smiled. "As long as Xu Yun is okay, that’s all that matters. I’ll head back now; I haven’t posted my update for today yet."
Watching Chen Xin open the door and leave, Zhang Sujuan said into the phone, "Well, Chen Xin doesn’t want to talk to you right now. You can call her yourself later. That’s all."
Xu Yun was speechless.
In his hotel room, he listened to the dial tone after his mom hung up, hesitated for a moment, and then sent a WeChat message to Chen Xin.
"I’ve been traveling, so I put my old number on Do Not Disturb. If you need me in the future, use this number. I’m on it 24/7."
A moment later, a reply came from Chen Xin.
"Okay, I got it. Good night."
"Good night."
Xu Yun replied, then slowly started going through the other WeChat messages he had received.
There were messages from Xino, Gao Wenwen, Su Mu, Li Jinshu, Ning Qian, and also from Song Xiaowei and Jiang Peiyao.
Not all of them were about the news; some were just their usual daily check-ins and conversations.
For most of the messages, Xu Yun just read them and didn’t reply.
But when it came to Jiang Peiyao’s message, he hesitated for a moment before typing out a reply.
He hadn’t expected her to be back in Jiangcheng already.
Regarding the charity she was about to take over, Xu Yun replied with a single sentence.
"It’s okay, don’t worry. I believe in you. Just go for it."
When Jiang Peiyao came out of the shower, she didn’t notice her phone at first.
It was only after she had finished getting ready that she picked up her phone and saw that Xu Yun had replied.
In that moment, she was thrilled.
For two days straight, she had sent him so many messages without any response. She never thought he would reply tonight.
And he’d replied right when she was in the shower.
She thought for a moment, then typed, "Okay, I’ll do my best."
A few seconds later, blushing, she typed another message.
"When are you coming back? I miss you a little."
But her message was like a stone tossed into the sea; just like before, there was no reply.
’Did he get busy again? Or did he already fall asleep?’
Jiang Peiyao regretted taking a shower just now; she should have waited a bit longer.
She also blamed herself for not checking her phone and replying to him the moment she got out.
This is what it’s like when you start to like someone—always feeling insecure, always feeling like you haven’t done enough.
After waiting for another half hour, she gave up, put down her phone, and went to the next room to check on the sleeping Jiang Ping’an before returning to her own room to sleep.
Tomorrow, she was going to a children’s shelter outside the city to see the first beneficiary Xu Yun had found for her.
She needed to gain a deep understanding of its specific situation and create a reasonable funding plan.
Although the foundation’s money belonged to Xu Yun and she could technically use it however she pleased, she wanted to make sure every single cent was put to good use and not a penny was wasted.
She had to be worthy of the trust Xu Yun had placed in her.
Meanwhile, in his hotel villa, Xu Yun had already showered and gone to bed.
The video of his rescue efforts, however, was still going viral on all major platforms, being shared and promoted by more and more people.
Positive comments about him flooded the internet.
In an era of peace, a civilian hero always inspires a certain sense of admiration and praise.
Online, people were constantly complaining about how society was growing more apathetic, how there was no human kindness left, and how no good deed goes unpunished.
And yet, at the same time, they hoped for more heroes to appear around them, people who could step up at critical moments.
People are always so contradictory. Just like Xino’s brother, Xi Wei.
He wanted his honey trap to succeed so he could get some dirt on Xu Yun, yet he didn’t want to break his sister’s heart.
But none of that mattered now.
Xi Wei was seething as he looked at the female subordinate who had come running back to him, now trying to seduce him instead.
The humiliation!
He asked with a cold expression, "You met him just once, and he already turned you?"
