Chapter 104: Heaven Blessed Charity

The next day, Chen Wei’er was practicing her dance since the finals would commence tomorrow. Whether or not she could stand beside He Xun openly depended on this one move.

She practiced diligently. Even when He Xun asked her to rest, Chen Wei’er chased him out. She was full of energy this time. She hoped that when people talked about her in the future, they would first mention her achievements in dancing and then recall that she was He Xun’s wife. She had always dreamt of a relationship where she would be evenly matched with her partner. She would not idly become mere decoration.

He Xun could also tell that Chen Wei’er was exceptionally persistent in a lot of matters, like her career.

For the whole day, Chen Wei’er only had a short break during lunch. The rest of the time, she kept repeating the dance moves. Then, she would modify and perfect it bit by bit until it was committed to muscle memory.

This opportunity was hard to come by, and Chen Wei’er really didn’t want to waste it. After all, in addition to standing by He Xun’s side, she also wanted to stay true to herself. This was a regret from her previous life.

During dinner, Chen Wei’er only ate a little. She rarely ate high-calorie food during the competition. If she were to put on a little weight, her dance would not look good on camera.

He Xun looked at her a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t know how to start.

Chen Wei’er bit the sweet corn and asked in a muffled voice, “Why are you looking at me?”

He Xun looked at her face. She was eating like a little hamster, with a few corn kernels in her mouth. In He Xun’s eyes, Chen Wei’er was simply too cute. In the end, he couldn’t help but reach out his sinful little hand and place it on her cute little head. Then, he ruffled her hair.

“Don’t touch my hair!” Chen Wei’er glared at him in dissatisfaction. She stretched out her small claws and smoothened the hair on her head. She didn’t know what was going on recently, but this dog-man would rub her hair from time to time—as if he was stroking a puppy.

“I won’t anymore.” He Xun laughed as he stroked her tresses. Then, he voiced out what he had been wanting to say, “There’s a charity party tomorrow. I might not be able to watch you dance live.”

In fact, He Xun felt a little guilty when he said this. He was really afraid that Chen Wei’er would get angry. This was because he knew very well how much Chen Wei’er valued this competition. He had been there for the first two matches, but he would be absent in the finals.

Sure enough, Chen Wei’er was a little surprised, and she stopped eating. “Is it that important? Can’t Yang Zui go in your stead?” She remembered that in the past, He Xun would always ask Yang Zui to take over the activities that He Xun did not want to attend.

He Xun nodded. The organizer of this event was an old, virtuous, and prestigious man. He didn’t have children in his life, so he would hold this event every year. More than 50 years had passed, and all his assets were bequeathed to charity.

Although Chen Wei’er was a little unhappy, she could still tell what was more important. First of all, the other party was a highly respected senior, and He Xun’s identity couldn’t be ignored. Besides, the charity needed to attract the attention of the entire society, so the bosses of each group had to come out personally. This was different from a business banquet.

Thinking of this, Chen Wei’er agreed, “Go ahead. Is this Heaven Blessed Charity? I have heard of this name before!”

“Yes,” He Xun nodded slightly. “Heaven Blessed Charity is the largest charity organization in the country. They donate hundreds of millions of resources to poor mountainous areas every year. Every step is clean and transparent. Misappropriation doesn’t occur along the process.”

When Chen Wei’er was young, she had heard from Chen Anhe about this charity event. The organizer was an old gentleman named Feng Lichen. When he was young, he built a massive business empire with his extraordinary courage and insight. He and his fiancée had come from a poor mountain area, and the two of them had started from scratch. Old Mr. Feng had originally wanted to marry his fiancée after the company’s operations had stabilized.

However, due to poor nutrition when she was young, his fiancée’s health had always been bad. Coupled with years of fatigue, the gentle and virtuous woman died in the cold winter.

After that, Mr. Feng dissolved the company and used all the profits to help the children and elderly in the poor mountainous areas.

And he never married.

At that time, Chen Wei’er had been very emotional. Now that she thought about it, she felt touched and complicated. Whether it was feelings or other matters, Mr. Feng was respectable. She then said, “I still have some money on my card, but I can only take out a million at most. You can add it to your donation.”

Chen Wei’er’s current savings were really a lot compared to her previous life. She was grateful to the heavens for giving her a second chance. She was willing to help others.

Of course, she had also set a small goal for herself. She hoped that she would be able to earn tens of millions before the end of the year. Then, she would do more charity work.
