Teacher Fan's family is struggling to afford his surgery, which costs over a million. While some former classmates offer support, others refuse to contribute, leading to an argument. Ye Chen steps in to calm the situation and declares he will handle the expenses.

"Don’t worry, I can still come up with this one million plus."

Ye Chen said with a calm expression.

"Come on, Ye Chen, stop pretending to be wealthy. Everyone knows you can’t earn that much just by delivering food. I bet you couldn’t make this much even if you worked day and night at it."

Guo Lei said with disdain all over his face.

He simply couldn’t believe that Ye Chen could come up with that kind of money all of a sudden.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiuling also thought Guo Lei made sense.

She looked at Ye Chen with gratitude.

"Ye Chen, we appreciate your goodwill, but we will find a way to handle the money ourselves."

Since Ye Chen had already helped find a doctor, how could she ask Ye Chen to pay for the surgery?

After listening to her daughter’s suggestion, Zhao Xiuling had decided to sell their house to pay for her husband’s medical expenses.

"Ma’am, I know you and Teacher Fan have had a tough time, and you’ve spent a lot so far. If you sell the house, where will you live?"

Ye Chen spoke his mind about Zhao Xiuling’s idea.

"We’ll figure something out."

Zhao Xiuling said with an awkward expression.

"Ye Chen, I appreciate your intentions, but the surgery cost is just too high. Whether the surgery will succeed is still uncertain. I can’t selfishly spend all our family’s money. If I’m really gone, how will they live?"

Teacher Fan shook his head as he spoke.

"Teacher, rest assured with me around. I won’t let ma’am and them buy a house. I’ll cover this cost."

Ye Chen spoke up.

"Ye Chen, this is no small amount. Teacher truly appreciates your goodwill."

Teacher Fan frowned as he spoke.

He looked at Ye Chen in front of him and felt grateful as this student truly understood gratitude, which was very touching.

"Let me put it this way: I’m a shareholder of Ren’ai Hospital, so you don’t need to spend a single penny on your surgery."

Ye Chen had no choice but to reveal his identity. He understood Teacher Fan well, knowing he would never let his student spend money for him.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked shocked.

They hadn’t expected Ye Chen to have such an impressive identity.

It’s known that Ren’ai Hospital in Modu isn’t just any ordinary hospital. To be a shareholder, one must not be an ordinary person.

"What, Ye Chen, are you serious?"

Teacher Fan asked incredulously.

"Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, you can call Dean Chen and ask; everything will be clear then."

Ye Chen handed his phone to Teacher Fan as he spoke.

Teacher Fan, of course, wouldn’t call Dean Chen. He just felt a bit shocked in his heart.

After so many years without seeing each other, this young man before his eyes had become so accomplished.

At this moment, a male classmate suddenly understood and said.

"No wonder Ye Chen could get an appointment with Director Zhao Hua. So that Old Chen just now was actually the dean."

Guo Lei looked at Ye Chen with an incredulous face, never expecting Ye Chen to have become so impressive, completely surpassing him by several levels.

However, upon further reflection, he still felt something was off.

"Ye Chen, if things are really as you say, why would you still be delivering food? Isn’t this lie a bit too easy to expose?"

Ye Chen had always ignored Guo Lei’s mockery because he felt there was no need to explain too much to someone like him.

But this time, Ye Chen smiled and said.

"Delivering food is my main job; everything else is just side jobs to me."

This remark from Ye Chen infuriated Guo Lei to no end.

At this moment, Guo Lei’s face looked as if he had eaten something unpalatable.

Everyone secretly gave Ye Chen a thumbs up in their hearts. Ye Chen’s words were astonishingly impactful.

Guo Lei was left speechless.

In fact, Ye Chen didn’t intend for things to turn out this way.

He wasn’t someone who liked to show off. He always felt that what he owned was just external possessions.

There was really nothing worth showing off.

But now the situation was different, and he had to dispel Teacher Fan’s concerns and quickly return to Modu for surgery.

"Ye Chen, you’re really impressive."

"Indeed, someone like Ye Chen really is wealthy, a true master of hidden potential."

Of course, Guo Lei didn’t like it when others praised Ye Chen, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Now it seemed Ye Chen was indeed much stronger than him.

Even Zhao Xiaomei looked at Ye Chen with an expression of surprise.

Previously, she thought Ye Chen seemed like someone from a wealthy background just by his appearance and aura.

But after hearing Guo Lei’s words, she began to doubt her judgment.

Seeing Ye Chen reveal his true identity now, Zhao Xiaomei felt excited.

Comparing Ye Chen with the man beside her, Guo Lei was practically nothing.

In Zhao Xiaomei’s impression, Guo Lei only knew how to show off but had no real skills.

On the other hand, Ye Chen, despite being so wealthy, was still not satisfied and even went to deliver food.

Although Zhao Xiaomei had doubts about Ye Chen’s main occupation being food delivery, it showed Ye Chen was a diligent person.

"Ye Chen, are you really not lying to me?"

Teacher Fan asked, half doubtful.

"Teacher, when have I ever lied to you? Besides, everything I said is true."

Ye Chen replied with a calm expression.

Fan Ying exclaimed excitedly.

"Brother Ye Chen, you’re amazing. I’ll definitely come to Modu to find you in the future, and I want to hang out with you."

She quickly covered her mouth, realizing she had misspoken.

Teacher Fan looked at his daughter with a stern expression.

"Yingying, see, this is the result of studying hard. You don’t know how outstanding your Brother Ye Chen was at school, unlike you who only knows how to play and doesn’t study well."

Fan Ying playfully stuck out her tongue at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen shook his head with a chuckle.

"Teacher, I think Yingying will be fine, her future is definitely bright."

Fan Ying looked at her father with pride.

"Dad, see, Brother Ye Chen also thinks I’m fine."

Then she said with a pitiful expression.

"Dad, stop always scolding me, give me some face, especially since there are so many brothers and sisters here."

"Oh, you mischievous girl, I really can’t handle you."

Teacher Fan said helplessly.

Now that everything was resolved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ma’am, let’s hurry and get Teacher discharged and get ready to head to the airport."

Zhao Xiuling nodded and walked out of the ward.

Teacher Fan looked at Ye Chen in surprise and said.

"Ye Chen, isn’t today’s schedule a bit rushed? Why don’t you stay the night and we’ll leave tomorrow?"

"No need, Teacher. I’ve already arranged everything with the airport and the hospital; once we finish with the discharge, we’ll be on our way."

Ye Chen said.
