Colleagues No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, and others took out their wallets and each gave him a red envelope.
Some gave a few hundred yuan, while others gritted their teeth and gave nearly 1,500 yuan.
No one understands better than Fang Yunfeng how hard it is to earn this money.
But they were actually willing to give him so much, adding up to at least three or four thousand.
It's like making a donation.
The thought flashed through Fang Yunfeng's mind, and his heart skipped a beat.
A chill ran through his body. He forced back his panic and said in a trembling voice, "Why are you all suddenly being so nice to me? Aren't we just colleagues who've known each other for a month? Is it really necessary to care about me like this?"
"Uh..." The colleagues all looked embarrassed. One of the older employees laughed it off: "Isn't it because you're young and it's not easy for you to work alone in a strange place?"
Fang Yunfeng's expression was cold and hard. "I'm still young, and I have a long road ahead of me to work hard and make money. I can't live off other people's charity for the rest of my life."
He would never have said such a thing before.
He has been living off his parents' money all along.
My colleague couldn't help but say with pity, "Yes, you're so young, how could you be so unlucky as to get that kind of disease..."
He immediately realized what was happening, covered his mouth, and a look of obvious annoyance appeared on his face.
"What did you say?!" His bad premonition finally came true. Fang Yunfeng became instantly agitated, veins bulging on his neck, and he roared in despair, "What are you hiding from me? What disease do I have? Tell me!"
His colleagues were startled by his reaction. Finally, one of them mustered up the courage and sighed, "The doctor said you have a tumor in your brain that's pressing on your nerves, which is why you suddenly fainted..."
Fang Yunfeng's breath hitched, and his face turned ashen.
At that moment, he suddenly thought of his father, who was lying in a hospital bed suffering from illness, and of his father's past behavior.
Cause and effect, retribution.
It was all because he stole money from his family, which drove his parents to the brink of collapse. His sins were too grave, so he ultimately suffered the consequences.
Colleague #3 comforted her, saying, "Xiao Fang, don't be too discouraged. The doctor just said that fortunately, your tumor hasn't spread. As long as you have surgery, there's a high chance you can recover."
Fang Yunfeng looked dazed and remained silent for a long time before finally finding his voice, "I want to see the doctor and hear the answer from him personally."
The colleagues exchanged glances for a few moments, but finally agreed and called the doctor over.
"Doctor, please tell me the truth, what stage is my condition at? Is it cancer? Is it early or late stage? Please give me some mental preparation!" Fang Yunfeng said with difficulty.
"Judging from your age, you shouldn't be more than 20 years old, right?" the doctor said with a strange expression. "Where are your family members? It would be best if your parents came to accompany you before we can make any further arrangements."
Fang Yunfeng's face was pale, and he said with a shameful expression, "I... because I did something very wrong, my parents severed ties with me, so I am all alone now."
The doctor shook his head. "No parent in this world doesn't love their child. Even those who have committed crimes are not abandoned by their parents. You look like an honest person, not someone who has committed heinous crimes. How could they bear to abandon you? That would be too cruel."
“No, it’s not their fault. It’s my fault. I’m a beast. I stole the money from home. It was money raised from selling the house to pay for my father’s surgery! But I was out of my mind and spent the money on other people…” The more Fang Yunfeng thought about it, the more he felt like a bastard. He clutched his head in anguish, wishing he could bang his head against the ground.
The doctor, who had just been filled with pity for her, suddenly changed his expression and said incredulously, "What? You...you're practically driving your parents to their deaths! You're heartless!"
Fang Yunfeng was speechless after being rebuked, and his heart was filled with guilt and pain.
The doctor's eyes were filled with disgust: "To tell you the truth, there is a high probability that the tumor in your brain can be surgically removed, but the surgery will cost 400,000! If you can raise that money, then come back and talk. If you can't, give up as soon as possible."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Fang Yunfeng stood there stunned, finally understanding what it meant for fortune to change.
He stole the money for the surgery and gave it to someone else; now that he's sick, he has no money left.
Even if his colleagues sympathized with him, they couldn't possibly raise 400,000 yuan for him.
At that moment, he trembled as he opened his phone, opened Weibo private messages, and sent a message to Yi Lianxue: "I'm sorry, I haven't been feeling well lately. I was diagnosed with a tumor and need to have surgery as soon as possible to recover. Could you please transfer half of the money I gave you before back to save me? Please."
He waited and waited, not knowing how long he had waited.
The private message finally showed as read, but there has been no reply for a long time.
His heart sank. After hesitating for a long time, he pleaded again, "This money is really important to me and my family. Please, Lianxue."
Yi Lianxue's sarcastic voice message came through: "So you're a fake rich man. I haven't even settled accounts with you for swindling 50,000 yuan from me, and you want me to pay you back? I didn't force you not to transfer the money to me in the first place. You did it willingly. Now you want it back? I don't even have enough to live on myself! Keep dreaming!"
Fang Yunfeng's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, and he couldn't help but ask sadly, "Didn't you say you liked me?"
The message could not be sent because he had been blocked by the other party.
Fang Yunfeng loosened his grip, his face turned ashen, and he clutched his heart in pain.
After a series of severe blows, he finally came to the face of reality, wept bitterly, and deeply regretted his past actions.
He finally understood that the only people in this world who were truly willing to treat him unconditionally well were his biological parents.
He got out of bed and knelt on the floor with a thud, crying with snot and tears streaming down his face: "Mom and Dad, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, but it's too late now, I'm about to die, this is my retribution! Now I don't ask for anything else, I only ask to see my parents one last time before I die. God, I'm willing to give my life to exchange for my father's health and longevity, so that he and my mother can live a fulfilling life, and I will be content."
In his next life, he will surely repent and become a filial, sensible, and considerate son to his parents.
I just hope they are still willing to accept me and give me a chance to repent.
"Don't worry, you won't die." Just then, a clear, clean voice, as pure as flowing water, rang out from outside the door.
Fang Yunfeng turned around in astonishment, and was dumbfounded when he saw the scene outside the door.
"You, you all..."
