Chapter 4 - Lin Xiaowan\'s doubts and resentment!
Su Lin had already returned to his seat and began to read a book in a serious manner. It was said that a serious man was the most charming, and Su Lin was like that at this moment.
In an unprecedented moment, Lin Xiaowan found herself captivated by Su Lin’s striking appearance as he immersed himself in reading a book. In the end, she shook her head and got rid of this thought from her mind.
“What kind of person is Su Lin? Is his usual arrogance and contempt all an act? But why is he doing this?”
“Doesn’t he like me? But I hate arrogant men the most. Isn’t he purposely trying to make me hate him? Could it be that he doesn’t like me but actually likes Xia Shiyu?”
“But people’s eyes can’t lie. Just now, Su Lin really made up his mind that if I didn’t help, he wouldn’t donate. What should I say? If he really just wanted to donate money, then why did he treat the poor students in the class like that?”
The more Lin Xiaowan thought about it, the more confused she became. Her mind was occupied trying to figure out the situation until the morning bell rang.
However, Lin Xiaowan would never have thought that Su Lin did this deliberately. With Lin Xiaowan’s personality, she is probably trying to brainstorm what to do.
As an earthling, although Su Lin’s EQ was not very high, he was not an idiot. When dealing with a campus belle like Lin Xiaowan, he knew that the usual method would not work. He was not afraid of a bad impression, but he was afraid that he would not leave an impression on her.
Not long after the bell rang, Wang Yi walked in with a simple donation box. The students in the classroom instantly stopped reading and looked up at him.
Wang Yi coughed and said, “The donation box is here. I will personally organize this donation. Starting from the first row, Wang Yue, you take the lead.”
Wang Yue, who was sitting in the first row, did not say much and got up and walked to the podium.
“Other students should also prepare the money you want to donate. This donation is anonymous and will not be counted. Just put it in the box.” As he spoke, Wang Yi stepped aside.
Wang Yue took out a hundred-dollar bill and put it in the donation box in front of all the students. Seeing that Wang Yue had finished donating, Wang Yi nodded and motioned for the next person to continue.
Just like that, one by one, the students went up to donate in an orderly and harmonious manner. When it was Su Lin’s turn, he took out two hundred yuan and walked to the podium. Whispers could be heard from the audience.
“Tsk… What kind of vice class monitor is this, Su Lin?! Usually, he acts all high and mighty and looks down on this and that. In the end, when it’s time to donate, he only donated 200 yuan.”
“That’s right. Feng Yifei’s family only runs a restaurant, but he donated 3,000 yuan. I heard that Su Lin’s father is the boss of the Su Family Construction Group. In the end, he only donated 200 yuan.”
“It’s just that he has good grades, is handsome, and comes from a rich family. What’s there to be arrogant about?”
This kind of chatter could be heard in almost every corner. Su Lin could vaguely hear a few words, but he didn’t care. He still had an imposing manner.
Seeing his behavior, everyone became even angrier, and the discussion gradually became louder, not caring whether Su Lin could hear it or not.
“What are you all doing? Do you think the school is a market? I already said that the donation amount is up to your heart. Why are you all heckling blindly?”
Under Wang Yi’s deterrence, the voices in the classroom became much quieter. Only a few people in the classroom didn’t talk about Su Lin.
One was Xia Shiyu, who sat in the front, and the other two were Chen Yang, who sat in the back, and Lin Xiaowan, who was next to the aisle.
“Xiaowan, this Su Lin is really disgusting. His family is so rich, but he only donated 200 yuan. I thought you and him were quite suitable. Fortunately, you didn’t take a liking to him, or else you would be in trouble.”
Hearing Yang Yan’s sarcasm, Lin Xiaowan felt uncomfortable. She was the only one in the class who knew that Su Lin didn’t just donate 200 yuan, but a full 200,000 yuan. However, she promised Su Lin that she wouldn’t say it out loud, so she could only keep it in her heart.
Lin Xiaowan frowned. “Yan, the teacher said that the donation amount is voluntary.”
“Of course I know it’s voluntary, but look at Su Lin. It’s so annoying.”
Lin Xiaowan followed Yang Yan’s gaze and looked at Su Lin. She saw Su Lin’s ‘don’t provoke me’ look. She suddenly felt that Su Lin was quite cute and smiled slightly.
“Su Lin, this guy~!!”
“Xiaowan, you also think that Su Lin is disgusting, right?”
Lin Xiaowan shook her head and didn’t speak. At this time, Su Lin had already walked off the podium in the midst of the booing.
When it was Lin Xiaowan’s turn, the classroom became lively again. The two stacks of money in Lin Xiaowan’s hand were too eye-catching.
Wang Yi saw the money in Lin Xiaowan’s hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He reminded her, “Lin Xiaowan, are you going to donate this money to Xia Shiyu?”
Lin Xiaowan subconsciously glanced at Su Lin, but Su Lin was reading and didn’t look at her at all. This made her feel a bit bitter.
If she knew this, she wouldn’t have agreed to Su Lin’s request. But if she didn’t agree to Su Lin’s request, he really wouldn’t have donated the money.
“Mr. Wang, yes.”
Wang Yi nodded and didn’t ask more.
He knew Lin Xiaowan’s family situation better than anyone else. Her father was the mayor, and her mother was in a trading company. Her family situation was much better than Su Lin’s. Donating 200,000 yuan was not a big problem for her, and Lin Xiaowan’s personality was usually helpful.
However, only Su Lin knew that, although Lin Xiaowan seemed to be nice to everyone, she didn’t have any real friends. She just wanted her school days to be simple and not mixed with too many interests and calculations.
“Damn, those two stacks are at least 200,000 yuan, and she donated another 20,000 yuan. That’s a total of 220,000 yuan. She’s too rich.”
“Hiss~!! No wonder the campus belle doesn’t like anyone. With this financial ability, no one in the class can compete with her except for Su Lin.”
“Su Lin donated 200 yuan, and Lin Xiaowan donated more than 200,000 yuan. How can they compete?”
“Indeed, there’s no comparison. Su Lin is rich but heartless, and Xiaowan is kind and charitable. Both are class leaders, but the gap is too big between them. She is indeed my goddess!”
Xia Shiyu, who was sitting in the front row, also widened her eyes. She thought it would be good if they could raise tens of thousands of yuan. She didn’t expect Lin Xiaowan to be so generous with more than 200,000 yuan. If there were two more donations, she would have enough money for her father’s kidney transplant.
Soon she shook her head again. This kind of greedy thought was not good. She should be thinking about how to thank Lin Xiaowan. After all, it was more than 200,000 yuan.
Su Lin looked at Lin Xiaowan with some surprise. She also donated 20,000 yuan. Although he knew this girl was rich, he didn’t expect her to donate so much. Was she influenced by him?
