Chapter 284: After breaking off the engagement Mr. Si chased his wife to the crematorium!
Chapter 284: The Best Part Is Yet to Come
Every pastry here is indeed to her liking.
Ou Yan was just enjoying a piece when she heard someone saying that the Bai family and the Gao family had arrived together!
"I heard that the Bai family spent 120 billion to buy that piece of land on the outskirts today. I can't believe it, a rich man in winter city, actually has such a hefty financial power."
"The golden boy and jade girl from the Gao family and Bai family are also here. It's said that they are a perfect match and will hold an engagement banquet in a few days."
"The Bai family is really having a good time…"
…
Ou Yan was unimpressed as she ate her pastry. This family of three seemed to have quite a strong psychological resilience. They were just sent to the psychiatric hospital not long ago, and now they were able to attend a charity banquet just like that.
Didn't the psychiatric hospital leave a deep psychological scar on them?
They are quite relentless in climbing up the ladder.
It was Bai Zhenhai's first time attending a high society banquet in Beijing. This place was the private mansion of the Shang family, grand and magnificent, easily ten times bigger than the villa he lived in!
From the moment he stepped into the garden, he couldn't help but marvel. So luxurious, indeed the vision, temperament, and foundation of a hundred-year-old aristocratic family were beyond what their small family could compare with…
The Shang family had been in business for generations and had a history of over a hundred years in Beijing, deeply rooted and influential in the city.
At this time, some guests saw him and approached with smiles.
"Mr. Bai, I heard you spent 120 billion today. You must also be famous at tonight's charity event, right?"
"Hahaha, please, don't embarrass me…" Bai Zhenhai laughed a bit nervously. Besides the Maybach outside, they didn't have anything valuable! On their way here tonight, he and Xu Aiqin were still discussing what to donate and how much…
"Mr. Bai is too modest. With 120 billion spent, the charity tonight should exceed ours by several zeros, hahaha…"
"I hope Mr. Bai also considers the feelings of us small families and doesn't donate too much at once… We plan to donate just over 10 million later. Mr. Bai, how much do you plan to donate?"
"Hey, why don't we just say a number and donate roughly the same later? How about it?"
"Hahaha, I was thinking the same. I wonder what Mr. Bai's ballpark figure is?"
Several guests were asking Bai Zhenhai about his intentions.
Although the Shang family only hosted a charity banquet once a year, the entire upper-class circle had more than just their family hosting such events. Throughout the year, these wealthy people donated to disaster areas, mountainous regions, natural disasters, and human tragedies…
They couldn't donate lavishly every time…
Hearing their ballpark figures, Bai Zhenhai felt even more insecure. With a forced smile on his face, "My wife and I haven't decided yet. This is our first time attending, and we don't know what's appropriate…"
On the way here, he and Xu Aiqin had discussed donating their wristwatch, at least worth a million!
Xu Aiqin hesitated at first…
But now, hearing the ballpark figures from others, her legs weakened, couldn't help but ask, "How much have you donated in the past?"
"Hahaha, when we first started donating, we were ignorant and thought we'd only donate a few times a year, we've donated 30 to 50 million… The most we've donated at once was even one billion!"
Xu Aiqin smiled, almost unable to maintain her composure. One billion…
Madam Gao, thinking their family was wealthy, approached Xu Aiqin with a friendly smile, "Aiqin, how much do you plan to donate later? We'll follow suit… Don't donate too much, a mere 10 or 20 million is enough."
Xu Aiqin forced a smile and replied, "Okay."
What to do…
After a while, Shang Bizhu spoke on the temporary outdoor stage in the middle of the garden, and then everyone was free to donate to the donation boxes set up next to the stage.
There was no order, nor was there a specific amount required, everyone could donate as they pleased.
Some people put in checks, some took off their priceless jewelry, and some paid directly with their mobile phones…
Bai Zhenhai and Xu Aiqin glanced at each other, planning to go to the restroom, but they were surrounded by several guests who kept asking about their donation amount.
"It's the first time donating, it has to be meaningful." Xu Aiqin smiled elegantly and pretended to discuss with Bai Zhenhai, "How about donating the rings we bought when we got married? Those rings are of extraordinary significance to us and also demonstrate our determination to do charity from now on!"
Everyone thought they were donating something precious, so Shang Bizhu specially arranged for spotlights to be directed at them. However, what they donated was a pair of platinum rings with only a tiny diamond on them, which probably didn't amount to more than twenty thousand together…
After they donated, they smiled and nodded at everyone, showing no signs of being short of money.
The crowd was shocked, not expecting someone who bid 12 billion for land to be so stingy when it came to donations!
Such a demeanor…
Really…
Shang Bizhu gave a signal to someone nearby, and that person immediately spoke up, "Mr. Bai, Mrs. Bai, is this just a warm-up for you? Is there something bigger coming up next?"
"Mr. Bai must be holding back his big move, let's see what Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai will donate next…"
"With 120 billion spent on the land, the charity donations surely won't be lacking!"
"Mr. Bai, you don't have to worry about scaring us!"
"Exactly."
Bai Zhenhai and Xu Aiqin were planning to leave, but the applause around them made it difficult for them to move!
Seeing the expectant eyes of everyone, in the end, Bai Zhenhai and Xu Aiqin took off all their belongings, including watches, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, reluctantly put them into the donation box…
Seeing them take off all their valuables amounted to only about two million, Shang Bizhu raised her eyebrows at Ou Yan, as if to say, the best
part is yet to come.
Someone in the crowd asked, "Mr. Bai, I heard there was a sensational event at the auction venue today. What was it?"
Bai Zhenhai and Xu Aiqin couldn't help but show embarrassed expressions at the mention.
Wasn't the big event today their Bai family apologizing to Ou Yan!
And Yao Yao being beaten into a pig head!
How did the news spread so fast and reach them so quickly!
"Mr. Bai, why did I hear that you went to the psychiatric hospital today? Was it for donation? Or…"
Bai Zhenhai and Xu Aiqin's expressions became even more awkward, quickly leaving the donation box pretending to go to the restroom…
Many guests were curious, what psychiatric hospital, what big event, what's going on exactly??
And Gao Yang in the crowd, seeing that cool and noble figure casually eating pastries again, knew without a doubt that she leaked the information!
Thinking of Yao Yao throwing herself into his arms crying at the psychiatric hospital today, saying that Ou Yan was deceiving the public and sending their family of three to the psychiatric hospital, even hitting Yao Yao's face swollen before sending them away!
