Madam Gu found her husband and sat down with a cold expression.
Gu Qingshan retracted his gaze from Madam Jiang and her entourage, glanced at his wife, and asked quietly, “Who is the girl next to Madam Jiang?
Madam Guts face visibly darkened, she looked Gu Qingshan up and down, her gaze filled with disdain and disgust.
“You’ve already gone wild outside, and now you’re after such a young girl? Are you even human?”
How could a man be so shameless?
Gu Qingshan hurriedly looked around and lowered his voice to shout, “What are you talking about? I don’t have that in mind at all. Be careful with your words outside!”
Madam Gu snorted coldly, “Whether or not that’s your intention, you know it in your heart. If you want no one to know, you should not do it yourself.” Gu Qingshan wanted to ask further, but Madam Gu had already turned her head away and ignored him.
Gu Qingshan felt like a cat being scratched inside, sitting in the first row of the audience, with everyone in the back row watching his every move. He had just taken the opportunity to greet Madam Jiang and turn his head, but now it would be inappropriate to do so again.
At seven thirty, everyone arrived, and Shen Shaojian took the stage to speak, making people feel drowsy.
The specific process of tonight’s charity event is as follows: celebrities from various circles donate an item, which is then auctioned on the spot, and the proceeds will be donated to charity.
Some people gained fame, some people benefitted, and the guise of charity was cleverly applied, killing three birds with one stone.
Such charity events are very common in celebrity circles. After all, fame is a good thing, and it brings great benefits.
“In an occasion like tonight, no one would dare to fool others with fake items, unless they don’t want to stay in the circle anymore. If you like something, just raise your sign. Aunt Lan will bid for you, as a thank you gift for your help today.”
Jiang Chunlan patted Ming Jing’s hand affectionately.
There was a sign on the table in front of them, marked with the number 18, for bidding during the auction.
Ming Jing smiled and said, “Madam, I have my own money.”
“Ah, that doesn’t count. I’m your elder, and as an old saying goes, ‘ Gifts from elders cannot be refused.’ You’ve helped me a lot, so it’s just a token of appreciation.”
Ming Jing didn’t decline any further.
At a table nearby, there was an elegant middle-aged man sitting alone, while the other men had female companions. He stood out.
However, no one questioned, because Shen Zhou, a man worth billions, was known for his disinterest in women.
Nearing forty, unmarried and childless, numerous socialites and actress wanted to marry him, but all have failed.
Later, a rumor began to spread that he had homosexual tendencies.
His assistant, Shen Ke, the second-in-command of the Shenzhou Group, was also a bachelor.
The two golden bachelors were inseparable and uninterested in women, so how could people not think that way?
“Ming Jing, how did you get to know Mr. Shen?” Jiang Chunlan blew floating tea leaves in her cup; the rising tea mist enveloped her emotions.
High-quality Dongting Biluochun tea, not bad, Jiade Group really spared no expense this time.
Ming Jing smiled faintly, “It’s a long story. Once on my way to school, I saved
Elder Theodore Shelby who had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage in the subway. In the end, I didn’t help much, but I stepped forward when everyone else was afraid of being taken advantage of, called 120 and sent him to the hospital. Mr. Shen is kind and humble, and he was very grateful for my small help, even
actively assisting the Zhu Group during their crisis.”
Jiang Chunlan smiled, “That’s not a small favor, it’s a life-saving grace. For the elderly, a sudden cerebral hemorrhage is extremely dangerous, and Shen Zhou is a well-known, filial son. Kindness begets good karma, and all this is what you deserve.”
“Madam.” Zhou Xue came over and whispered to Jiang Chunlan, “Mr. Zou from Jiade Group wants to apologize personally. He’s the head of Jiade Group in Hua
Country.”
Jiang Chunlan’s eyes turned cold, “Money-grubber, would he be able to spend his ill-gotten wealth if he’s dead?”
“Just apologize and that’s it? You tell him, this matter is not over between him and their corporation.”
“Yes.” Zhou Xue withdrew.
Jiang Chunlan raised her hand to massage her brow, “These shameless things, courting death in front of me.”
Ming Jing smiled, “Madam, don’t be angry. Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, there’s reason in everything.”
“Listening to you, I do feel much better.” Jiang Chunlan let out a breath..
