Background / History
Leukemia and Treatment
Yiyi had been ill for more than three months when Li Rui learned that she had leukemia. Her treatment exhausted her parents’ savings, and they borrowed from everyone they could. A matching bone marrow donor had already been found, but the family remained 500,000 yuan short of the surgery cost at Star City First People’s Hospital 5.
Li Rui transferred five million yuan to Li Xiaoshuang and requested the best doctor and medicine available. He described the money as overdue New Year’s money for Yiyi rather than a loan. He also asked Zhang Huaiyuan to stop working temporarily and concentrate on caring for his wife and daughter 5 6.
The hospital brought in a leading specialist from Capital City, and Yiyi’s surgery succeeded. Her mother reported that she needed several more days of observation before discharge. Medical expenses ultimately totaled one million yuan, with another 200,000 yuan given to thank the donor 29 45.
Leaving the Hospital
On her discharge day, Yiyi excitedly asked for delicious food and a trip to an amusement park. Li Rui arrived to collect her family with a Viper GT and twelve Land Rover Range Rovers. She recognized him from video calls on her mother’s phone and accepted his invitation to be carried after checking with her mother 44 45.
Li Rui lifted her and spun her around in celebration, but Li Xiaoshuang immediately reminded him that successful surgery did not mean recovery was complete: Yiyi still needed months of quiet rest and regular hospital checkups 45.
A New Home
Yiyi and her parents had rented a room of barely more than ten square meters near the hospital during her treatment. Concerned about its cramped, dirty condition, Li Rui decided to provide a better place for her recuperation. That day, he also arranged for Li Yi to buy the lobster and crab she requested 45.
Li Rui subsequently purchased two finished, 240-square-meter river-view apartments on the twenty-fifth floor of Xiang River Loulan for twenty million yuan, gifting one to his sister’s family. When Yiyi learned that the spacious apartment was their new home, she thanked her uncle. He provided another five million yuan for furnishing and equipping both apartments 47 48.
Appearance
- Described as an adorable little girl resembling a porcelain doll, with fair skin and rosy cheeks after her surgery 44.
- Her face is noticeably pale during hospitalization; Li Rui observes that some color has returned by her discharge 6 45.
Personality
Yiyi is affectionate and responsive to her parents. Although she initially protests her mother’s repeated kisses, she offers her cheek again when her father jokingly suggests that refusing will upset her mother. She also seeks her mother’s approval before letting Li Rui hold her 44 45.
She displays a playful, imitative side, copying her parents’ open-mouthed astonishment without understanding the financial discussion. Her enthusiasm centers on concrete treats—large lobsters, crabs, and amusement-park visits—rather than the scale of her uncle’s wealth 44 45 46 47.
Relationships
- Li Xiaoshuang — Mother and principal caregiver during her illness; oversees her recovery and reminds Li Rui of her continuing medical restrictions 5 45.
- Zhang Huaiyuan — Father; handles her discharge paperwork and playfully teases her while the family waits to leave 44.
- Li Rui — Maternal uncle. Before her hospitalization, he had last seen her in person when she was one and subsequently kept in touch through video calls. He later calls her the Li family’s “little princess” 6 48.
- Wang Sumei — Maternal grandmother; reveals Yiyi’s illness to Li Rui and asks him to help save her 4 5.
- Gu Manxiang — Her mother’s friend, whom Yiyi calls “Auntie Manxiang.” She lent Li Xiaoshuang 50,000 yuan during the family’s financial difficulties and later helped them purchase their new home 46 47 48.
