Chapter 408: Xiao Yanran, the Director of the Rescue Fund!

When Director Zhou’s wife heard Wang Yun’s words, the joy on her face was practically visible.

Last night before sleeping, she had still been anxious, worried that she had pushed too hard by letting Piggy acknowledge Wang Yun as godfather. Afraid that once Wang Yun sobered up, he would regret it or even resent it.

But now, it was clear she had overthought.

Not only did Wang Yun remember everything clearly, but he even took it seriously—he wanted to buy Piggy a gift.

“Aiya, there’s no need for you to spend money. Piggy isn’t lacking in material things. What he really needs is someone to accompany him. If you’re ever free, Brother Wang, just come visit him more often,” Zhou’s wife quickly said with a smile.

Wang Yun waved his hand dismissively. “It’s fine. It’s not like I’m short on money. We’ll talk after Brother Zhou wakes up.”

“Good, good, good!”

Zhou’s wife beamed and hurried back into the bedroom to wake her husband.

Once Zhou heard that Wang Yun still remembered last night’s matters, he immediately rushed to wash up.

After breakfast, the three of them truly headed for the mall.

Director Zhou’s idea was simple—if Wang Yun wanted to buy a gift, let him. He wasn’t short on cash, and the gesture showed that he genuinely cared about Piggy.

This kind of ritual was important. It would help Wang Yun remember Piggy in the future.

At the mall, Wang Yun picked out a full set of new clothes for Piggy, along with a pile of toys.

All together, he spent nearly a hundred thousand yuan. But for them, this kind of money was nothing but a drop in the bucket.

After they finished shopping for Piggy, Wang Yun hesitated for a moment and then turned to Zhou’s wife.

“Sis-in-law, could you help me pick out a gift? It’s for a girl. I’m meeting her tonight, and honestly, I have no idea what girls like.”

He looked a little embarrassed.

The moment she heard this, Zhou’s wife’s innate gossip radar activated. She gave Director Zhou a sly look, then grinned at Piggy.

“Piggy, you’re about to get a godmother!”

“Aiya, sis-in-law, don’t joke. She’s just a friend. Brother Zhou knows her too,” Wang Yun quickly explained.

“I know her too?” Director Zhou blinked, confused.

Could it be someone from the entertainment circle?

But Wang Yun had been a complete unknown when he joined the show. During the filming, he hadn’t had any contact with celebrities either. And the past two days, they’d practically been glued together.

Wang Yun saw Director Zhou’s puzzled face and felt a little awkward.

“Ah, I know! It’s Xiao Yanran. The girl you gave that necklace to.” Director Zhou suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed.

“Necklace? Xiao Yanran? I remember now. Wasn’t she the first female fan you met on the show? The girl who was sick?” Zhou’s wife finally reacted too, raising her voice.

Since they were standing in the middle of the mall, several passersby glanced over curiously.

Fortunately, none of them were celebrities, and Wang Yun had never revealed his true face to the public.

“Yeah, it’s her,” Wang Yun said. “Now that the show’s over, I wanted to see her. During filming, she even got caught up as a hostage. I feel bad about it.”

He scratched his head, a little guilty.

Zhou’s wife smiled knowingly.

“Good girl. She looked pure and sweet. If you like her, that’s what matters. But if you want to give her a gift… it won’t be easy.”

Wang Yun blinked, confused.

What could be so hard about buying a gift for a girl?

He stared at Zhou’s wife, puzzled.

She saw his expression and immediately understood he had misunderstood.

She quickly clarified, “I don’t mean it’s difficult to choose. It’s because you already gave her a gift before. That necklace you gave her… was worth over a hundred million yuan. When your first gift is something that expensive, you can’t exactly cheap out on the second, can you?”

Wang Yun froze for a moment—then nodded in realization.

She had a point. But that left him even more unsure.

Just as Wang Yun was racking his brain, Director Zhou spoke up, “Actually, there’s something I hadn’t gotten around to telling you. Since it was a personal matter, we were planning to let Xiao Yanran tell you herself.”

Wang Yun raised his head, looking at him.

Director Zhou smiled faintly.

“After the show ended, Xiao Yanran reached out to the production team. She found out the true value of that necklace. So she returned it to us, asking us to return it to the sponsoring group. But you gave that necklace as a gift. It wouldn’t be proper to take it back. In the end, at her insistence, we helped her donate the necklace to the Red Cross. Because the donation amount was so massive, the Red Cross set up a medical relief fund in her name. And now, Xiao Yanran has officially become the director of that rescue fund. She even works there now, handling daily operations, helping patients with medical needs.”

Huh?

Director of the rescue fund?

A medical relief fund?

Wang Yun was stunned. He really hadn’t expected Xiao Yanran to donate the necklace.

But thinking about her character… It made sense.
