Chapter 285 Donation
Chapter 285 Donation
Ye Ning pursed his lips and was silent for a while before speaking:
"Why do you ask me?"
Huo Mingxiao leaned closer to her again and whispered:
"You are my baby and my wife. I will donate as much as you say. I will listen to you."
Ye Ning's ears felt a little hot.
In this kind of situation, with his uncle and cousin sitting next to him, is it really okay for him to be so unscrupulous?
But why did I feel a little happy after hearing what he said?
Ye Ning lifted the hair beside her ear and said, "You decide for yourself."
In fact, Ye Ning knew very well that the Huo family was richer than the Gu family, so they would naturally donate more.
Although donations are voluntary, comparison is everywhere and no one would be willing to be at a disadvantage.
But of course there are people who are reluctant to donate.
While Ye Ning and Huo Mingxiao were exchanging glances, the donation amounts from the Li and Lu families were also reported.
The Li family donated 3.5 million and the Lu family donated 3 million.
At this point, the four largest wealthy families in the capital have all donated money, and the only ones left are the Huo family and the Pei family, two super wealthy families.
Ye Ning suddenly realized that more people were looking at them.
It seemed as if everyone in the audience was looking forward to it, waiting to hear the donation amounts from these two families.
Huo Mingxiao didn't move at all, and seemed to have no intention of speaking.
The host in front wiped the sweat from his forehead, and it was obvious that he was also a little panicked.
In the end, the people from the Pei family stood up first.
Ye Ning looked over and saw a strange face she didn't recognize.
Huo Mingxiao immediately explained to her: "That is the eldest son of the Pei family."
"Pei Group donated 10 billion."
The eldest son of the Pei family spoke calmly, and then sat down gracefully.
The tone was as if ten billion was just like ten dollars.
Ye Ning heard several gasps, followed by waves of applause.
It took a while for the venue to become quiet.
Everyone held their breath tacitly, waiting for Huo Mingxiao to speak.
Huo Mingxiao took the microphone from the table, paused for a moment, and spoke calmly:
"The Huo Group donated 15 billion, and my girlfriend and I donated another 5 million in our personal names."
In an instant, applause broke out, like thunder, and continued for a long time.
Ye Ning took a deep breath and stared at Huo Mingxiao in a daze. At that moment, she seemed to see holy light from him.
Oh my God, this man is so damn handsome, he is worthy of being the man I like.
My uncle and cousin were also surprised, and their eyes kept looking back and forth between Ye Ning and Huo Mingxiao.
The uncle spoke earnestly and whispered, "Ming Xiao, you don't need to donate so much. Although the dinner is only held every three years, the charity fund jointly established by the six of us collects donations from each family every year. The Huo family has a fixed donation of 10 billion every year, and there are other scattered donations as well. So far, a lot has been donated."
Huo Mingxiao nodded: "Don't worry, uncle. It's okay. Huo's business is doing well this year. Aning is kind-hearted and wants to help more people. Donating is secondary. Aning actually wants to help people more practically. She..."
Huo Mingxiao was interrupted by Ye Ning when he said this. She hit his shoulder and glared at him again.
Then he smiled and looked at his uncle:
"Uncle, cousin, don't listen to his nonsense. There's nothing to show for it."
His uncle and cousin nodded, with smiles on their faces, and looked at Huo Mingxiao with much kinder eyes than before.
That’s good. It seems that he is a henpecked husband. From now on, Ningning won’t be bullied or wronged.
The banquet finally ended. After seeing off his uncle and cousin, Ye Ning returned to the hotel room with Huo Mingxiao.
But when the two of them got into the elevator and were about to close the door, they met Pei Xue and Pei Ning.
Pei Xue glanced at Ye Ning, pulled Pei Ning into the elevator, and pressed the button for the 36th floor.
Judging from the situation, they seemed to have booked a hotel room as well.
The elevator was very quiet, and the four of them stood there in silence.
Suddenly, Pei Xue turned around and stared at Ye Ning viciously, as if she wanted to eat her.
"Aren't you dying? How can you still come to the party?"
Ye Ning felt puzzled, gave her a speechless big eye roll, and said lightly:
"What does it have to do with you?"
In fact, Ye Ning really wanted to laugh.
She knew that the person who thought she was about to die was Pei Ji, and then Pei Ji told Pei Xue.
So when Pei Xue saw that she was fine, she naturally felt cheated and it was normal for her to be angry.
But she won't spoil her.
When Pei Xue saw that Ye Ning had no expression on his face, she became even angrier and felt like spitting fire.
She tried to suppress her anger, but she couldn't, and yelled:
"Ye Ning, my third brother still can't get out of bed, don't you feel guilty? You are a troublemaker."
Ye Ning raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"Who is your third brother? I don't know him. What does his ability to get out of bed have to do with me? I'm afraid you've gone insane and turned into a mad dog, biting people everywhere."
"You still dare to say you don't know him. My third brother likes you so much, but you asked someone to break his arms and legs. Are you still a human being? Even if you have no interest in my third brother, there is no need to hurt him like this. Is it wrong to like you? A shameless woman like you is not worthy of my third brother. How could he be so blind as to fall in love with you when he is so successful? You are really a slutty fox, so cheap, seducing men and licking men everywhere, you..."
"Heh," Huo Mingxiao sneered, protecting Ye Ning behind him, and then slapped Pei Xue in the face.
Insulting his wife in front of him, as if he were dead?
Pei Xue was beaten so hard that her head felt dizzy and her ears were buzzing.
She covered her face and looked at Huo Mingxiao in disbelief:
"You actually hit me, you hit a woman, are you still a man!?"
Huo Mingxiao looked down at her from above, his eyes full of coldness:
"I don't say that I won't beat women. If you dare to scold my baby, you will have to bear my wrath. I don't care who you are, whether you are a man or a woman, no matter what kind of monster you are, as long as you scold my baby, I will beat you."
"You..." Pei Xue was so angry that she was out of breath and her face turned completely red.
Pei Ning, who had been standing by and watching, finally moved.
She supported Pei Xue and pulled her arm:
"Axue, stop talking, stop talking."
The elevator arrived and Ye Ning and Huo Mingxiao got off.
Pei Ning pressed the door closing button quickly and continuously, but his eyes were fixed on the backs of Ye Ning and Huo Mingxiao until the elevator door was completely closed.
Pei Xue shook Pei Ning off and said dissatisfiedly:
"Why are you pretending to be a good person? You have seen what Third Brother looks like. You really are so hard-hearted."
Pei Ning pursed her lips, looking aggrieved:
"I know that Third Brother has been wronged, but, matters of the heart ..."
"Just shut up. What do you want to say? You can't force relationships. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You actually hate her to death. Because of her, Xie Chenyu, who regards you as his white moonlight goddess, ignores you."
"Axue, you..."
"Don't perform this trick in front of me. Men will be fooled, but I won't. I will only destroy flowers with ruthless hands. I tell you, Pei Ning, remember your identity. You are nothing in front of me."
Pei Ning: “…”
Pei Ning remained silent and lowered his eyes, but a raging hatred was burning in his eyes.
"Humph."
Pei Xue snorted coldly and turned her head away, and neither of them paid any attention to each other.
