MTLNOVEL Chapter 396: Must Apologize to Miss Wei Qingxue
Before heading out today, Zhao Feng's father, Wanjin Group's chairman Zhao Jiasheng, had discussed with Zhao Feng that he should pursue Wei Qingxue. Wei Qingxue would definitely comply, since she currently has something to ask of them.
If Wei Qingxue agreed to marry Zhao Feng, Zhao Jiasheng would invest 1 billion in the Wei Family's project in Hang City.
At this moment, as Li Xueyan brought up the investment topic, Zhao Feng, without hesitation, patted his chest and said, "1 billion is nothing. No problem, leave it to me!"
Li Xueyan was very pleased, "Thank you, Young Master Zhao!"
People around were all praising, feeling quite envious.
"Young Master Zhao is really wealthy!"
"Goodness, saying you'll give 1 billion just like that, so rich!"
"So envious, no wonder Young Master Zhao is so generous; donating 300 thousand is just a drop in the bucket for him."
Li Xueyan nudged Wei Qingxue, "Qingxue, why are you still standing there? Quickly thank Young Master Zhao!"
Wei Qingxue: "..."
She knew what this implied; if she accepted the Zhao Family's billion, she would have to marry Zhao Feng in return, and she didn't want to remarry.
But she really had no options to find this billion; this might be her only opportunity.
Zhao Feng looked expectantly at Wei Qingxue, very confident that she would agree.
Ring, ring, ring...
Just then, Zhao Feng's phone rang.
Zhao Feng said, "Excuse me, I need to take a call from my father."
Zhao Feng then moved aside to answer the call.
Suddenly, Zhao Feng's face turned grim, and he exclaimed, "What? Father, are you serious? How is that possible?"
Zhao Feng hung up looking disheartened.
Li Xueyan asked with concern, "Little Zhao, what's wrong?"
"Sorry, I have an urgent matter and need to go now."
Zhao Feng forced a smile.
Li Xueyan hurriedly said, "What about the investment?"
Zhao Feng said, "Let's talk about it later."
Without waiting for Li Xueyan's reply, he left in a hurry.
Leaving Li Xueyan and Wei Qingxue baffled.
Li Xueyan said in wonder, "Why did Little Zhao leave so hastily?"
She was a bit anxious; Zhao Feng didn't seem very reliable.
She couldn't help but glare at Lin Fan; it must be Lin Fan who offended Zhao Feng, prompting him to find an excuse to leave.
Lin Fan smiled faintly; Zhao Jiasheng was no longer the chairman of Wanjin Group and could no longer make investment decisions for the Wei Family. Zhao Jiasheng must have called to say this, and Zhao Feng had to find an excuse to escape.
Wei Qingxue, instead, felt relieved; she had already decided to refuse Zhao Feng's offer, and Zhao Feng leaving saved both parties from embarrassment.
However, this also meant she might have lost her only opportunity, leaving Wei Qingxue feeling heavy-hearted.
At this moment, Wei Zihan walked over and said sarcastically, "Why did Young Master Zhao leave? That's your only chance, and you didn't seize it. Do you know why?"
Li Xueyan asked, "Zihan, do you know the reason?"
Wei Zihan sneered, "Isn't it obvious? Who told you to bring your useless husband, Young Master Zhao must have gotten angry."
Li Xueyan thought the same, infuriated, she was about to turn and scold Lin Fan.
Since Zhao Feng was the first to donate, many others had donated since, and applause filled the venue.
A middle-aged man suddenly turned his gaze toward this side.
"I've noticed the two ladies from the Wei Family are also here. I wonder how much you plan to donate this time?" the middle-aged man said jokingly.
All eyes immediately turned towards them.
Wei Zihan, having come to watch the excitement, hadn't planned to donate, feeling embarrassed as so many watched. But if she didn't donate, she'd lose face.
Wei Zihan nudged Zhu Xiaolong, indicating for him to donate on her behalf.
Zhu Xiaolong understood Wei Zihan's intention but was a bit unwilling, whispering, "How much?"
Wei Zihan said, "Zhao Feng donated 300 thousand, you donate 300 thousand too."
Zhu Xiaolong frowned, "That much?"
Wei Zihan said displeased, "Your gift to grandpa and my diamond ring are fake; donating for me now makes up for it—isn't it fair?"
Zhu Xiaolong said, "I was deceived, the money is gone, I don't have that much now."
Wei Zihan sweated, "Then how much do you have?"
Zhu Xiaolong said, "Nothing."
Wei Zihan was furious; Zhu Xiaolong wasn't going to help her donate.
Seeing the two whispering, the middle-aged man coughed twice and chuckled, "Miss Wei, have you come to a decision? As the eldest young lady of the Yun City Wei Family, surely you won't be stingy with your compassion."
Wei Zihan's face turned red, forcing a laugh as she said, "Sorry, I won't be donating this time."
What?
Everyone was astonished.
Wei Zihan actually refused to donate in front of so many people?
"No way, the eldest young lady of the Wei Family is so stingy!"
"Laughable, so embarrassing!"
"Shameless, attending the banquet and donating not a cent."
"Why come if not donating?"
People began to gossip, chuckling quietly.
Wei Zihan almost wanted to run into a wall; for someone who cares about her face, this was a terrible humiliation, but she couldn't speak because, though she's the eldest young lady of the Wei Family, she only received an allowance at home, and spent recklessly. Her latest allowance was spent, and the next month's hadn't come yet, leaving no money to donate.
Zhu Xiaolong's unwillingness to pay had resulted in this awkward situation.
Haha!
Seeing Wei Zihan's discomfort, Lin Fan nearby couldn't help but laugh.
Wei Zihan nearly went mad seeing this, unable to resist saying, "What are you laughing at? I can't donate, but can Wei Qingxue? She's even worse than me!"
Everyone turned to look at Wei Qingxue, somewhat surprised; surely not, as Wei Qingxue is also a daughter of the Wei Family, and a company president, could she also not afford to donate?
Wei Qingxue felt embarrassed, although Wei Zihan's words were unpleasant, she really hadn't intended to donate.
She didn't have much money!
Besides needing to pay Lin Fan his 1 million reward, her remaining funds were limited. Considering she might be expelled from the Wei Family in the future, she had to rely on these savings.
Li Xueyan blushed, lowering her head, wishing she could find a hole to hide, blaming Lin Fan for his laughter, causing trouble for Wei Qingxue.
People murmured around.
"Haha, not donating is fine," the middle-aged man said, although his face showed displeasure.
The atmosphere grew awkward.
Just then, a servant hurriedly approached the middle-aged man, handing him a note.
The middle-aged man read the note, looking surprised.
"I must apologize to Miss Wei Qingxue here; I'm sorry for misunderstanding Miss Wei Qingxue. It turns out Miss Wei Qingxue had already donated 1 million in her name before our banquet!" the middle-aged man said apologetically.
Following that, the middle-aged man respectfully bowed in apology to Wei Qingxue.
What?
Everyone was stunned.
