He ignored the question and continued his monologue.
他不理会那个问题，继续他的长篇大论。
While some netizens sympathized with Wu, more expressed doubt about how the crosstalk celebrity, who is likely to have substantial assets of his own, could qualify for charitable donations on Shuidichou.

In addition, they can't cash in on the car, valued at RMB 130,000, because it's critical for the transportation between the hospital and their home during Wu's recovery.

注：此处应该是表达“把汽车变现的意思”。
Following the public outcry, the platform suspended the campaign on May 3. A total of RMB 147,959 was raised from 5,269 donors.
Verifying a family's finances and assets such as cars and real estate is difficult, Shuidichou said in a public letter.
“We ask the candidates to reveal their health condition, spending, and economic standing (mainly property and cars), medical insurance and commercial insurance to the fullest extent,” said the company, adding that Wu's family hadn't yet claimed the funds.
“水滴筹要求发起人向赠与人最大化、真实地公示患者的疾病情况、治疗花费情况、家庭经济状况（主要是房产、车产等信息）、预期款项用途以及享受医保、商业保险情况。...截至筹款结束，该项目共筹得147,959元，5,269人次参与赠与，暂未申请提现。”

“Why didn't you mention the apartment that is worth RMB 6 million?” one netizen posted on the crowdfunding site, which only identifies users by a portion of their mobile numbers.
State-owned media weighed in on the issue. “The event sounds the alarm for the charity crowdfunding platforms. It's critical to protect public goodwill from misuse. Generosity to strangers is valuable and we should take good care of it,” an editorial published in People's Daily said.
人民日报评论：“德云社吴鹤臣百万众筹引发质疑，网络慈善再次被考验。无疑，遇难事谁都有权求助，但社会从来有其默契：爱心是有限资源，雪中送炭比锦上添花更有意义。这也在提醒平台，助力轻松筹，更要把好关，善意不被透支，爱心账户方能存续。陌生人之间的慷慨解囊何其珍贵，我们都应悉心呵护。”

Founded in 2016 by Shen Peng, co-founder of Meituan Waimai, Shuidi runs Shuidichou and a medical insurance platform, Shuidibao. The company received $74 million in a Series B from Tencent in March.
Series B
Venture capital financing rounds typically have names relating to the class of stock being sold:
· Seed round where company insiders provide start-up capital
· Angel round where early outside investors buy common stock
· Series A, Series B, Series C, etc. Generally, the progression and price of stock at these rounds is an indication that a company is progressing as expected. Investors may become concerned when a company has raised too much money in too many rounds, considering it a sign of delayed progress.
The online charity has been gaining momentum in China in various forms in the form of online charity stores and donation platforms, among others.
Crowdfunding platforms, like Shuidi, Qingsongchou, and Kangai Gongshe have been founded to bridge the payment gap. However, the sector is facing roadblocks as more cases of abuse surface.

It was later revealed that the family was quite well-off, was responsible for only a small portion of medical costs, and Luo’s friend was accused of taking advantage of public sympathy to promote his company.
