Space and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman

295- Overflowing With Pity (同情心泛滥)

Although Jing Yun Zhao was aware that her previous life was very pitiful, she never thought of asking for other’s pity, especially using this method.

Still, their result was still reasonable. Ever since the beginning, the netizens have had the notion that the Jing couple suffered a hard life, and they were therefore able to raise more than 10,000 yuan in donations overnight. Now that they had found out that she was the one who was truly pitiful, it was natural that she would receive some.

She had already rejected the school’s offer, otherwise, there’d be even more money.

After all, despite her love for it, she still had a bottom line. There was some money she would rather not touch.

Jing Yun Zhao fell into deep thought, “I won’t want this money, but I understand it’s impossible for me to return everything. How about...we donate some?”

“Actually, the school also has this thought...”the principal laughed bitterly before sighing, “As the saying goes, your mouth will go soft if you eat others food and your hand will shorten if you take their things1; since you can raise yourself, there’s no need for you to accept this kind of donation.”

Whether Jing Yun Zhao wanted this money or not did not affect the school. The only reason they were paying attention to this was because they were afraid that trouble would follow after her again afterwards.

The moment she accepted the money, it meant that she accepted the people’s good intentions, but this wasn’t something that just about anyone could receive. In the future, there would not be a lack of people who would monitor her. The moment there was the slightest drop in her grades, she’d be accused of loving the ease and comfort now that she had some money and wouldn’t work. If she bought some more expensive things, she’d probably be labelled as extravagant too.

The people of this world were all easily forgetful and would very likely forget about Jing Yun Zhao’s predicament very easily. They’d only remember themselves forking out money, and would only want to know if it was put to good use.

By then, there would definitely be a handful who’d be very calculating and hope that Jing Yun Zhao would only spend the money in crucial moments.

It wasn’t as if Jing Yun Zhao couldn’t get by on her own, so in the principal’s opinion, there was no need to accept this money.

“Principal, I’ll donate everything here. I also hope that after the matter has been handled, there will be a clear invoice to prove that I did not keep a single item for myself. I will have to trouble Principal to help me upload it online as well. If there’s anyone else who sends anything over, it will be handled using the same way. I believe the momentum of this situation wouldn’t take long to stop after that,” Jing Yun Zhao requested.

She couldn’t leave a single one, be it a pen or a notebook.

These people pitied her now, but this pity would phase out sooner or later. She couldn’t possibly remain as a pitiful creature in these peoples eyes forever.

The principal nodded his head, but he felt quite alarmed in his heart.

Jing Yun Zhao was only 16. At this age, most of them didn’t have a strong resistance against the lure of many things. However, Jing Yun Zhao directly just pushed these things away. This decisive and bold action was hard to see even in adults.

What’s more, the money wasn’t a small sum. More than 20,000 yuan, it was more than capable of paying for the deposit of a house in the County Centre.

“You’re sure about this?” the principal ask once again.

Jing Yun Zhao only nodded her head, her stance unwavering.

Not mentioning the fact that she wasn’t lacking this 20,000 yuan, even if she did, using this donation for herself still wasn’t an option. She still had this much moral integrity. Moreover, she wasn’t without arms and feet, and wasn’t pitiful to the point where she had to worry about her next meal all the time. The ‘good intentions’ of a group of people this large, she couldn’t accept it.

The principal’s eyes brightened and was finally enlightened on why every teacher in school loved this child so much.

There was no end to the troubles that followed her, even coming into the school, but each of the teachers all spoke up for her, which wasn’t something that could only be possible just because of her academic achievements.

She wasn’t startled by favour and was calm in the face of trouble. Even though it made one’s heart ache, more than that, it made one admire her.

Now that Jing Yun Zhao herself had agreed to it, the principal’s reaction was also swift and decisive like passing thunder and wings. On the evening of the same day, he contacted the local orphanage and donated everything to them. The entire process of the donation was recorded and the invoice was also clear and organised. Very soon, it was uploaded online.

Instantly, there was an uproar among the public opinion.
