789 Do You Still Want To Compete?
“Grandma always says that unexpected wealth should be spent as soon as possible.” Shen Hanxing’s lips curled into a faint smile. She turned on her phone and asked Lu Shaoyang to transfer the money to her. “Young Master Lu, please transfer the money to the foundation under my name. You can consider it as doing a good deed.” She didn’t need money now. Even if she did, she didn’t want to spend Lu Shaoyang’s money. She would rather transfer the money she won to the foundation to do more meaningful things and help more people.
Shen Hanxing’s actions dispelled the jealousy in the crowd’s hearts. Was this what a girl who grew up in the slums looked like? Even people like them, who had grown up in a pile of money, could not remain calm in the face of a huge sum of ten million dollars. Yet, Shen Hanxing had donated it just like that. It was needless to say how straightforward she was. She did not seem to be reluctant at all. It was a shocking and admirable decision.
The crowd had a vague feeling that only Shen Hanxing would be able to do something like this. She was just like that – beautiful and suave, with a certain calm air about her, and people could not help but admire her.
Yun Cai, Ji Qian, and the others had always admired and respected Shen Hanxing, so their eyes lit up even more at this moment! It was as if they were treating Shen Hanxing as their lifelong idol! Only Lu Shaoyang’s face was extremely ugly. He almost couldn’t maintain his composure on the surface, and his eyes were extremely dark. The ten million dollars that he had given up his dignity for was like a feather to Shen Hanxing. She had donated it just like that! Why did she have to pretend that she did not care about money? If Shen Hanxing really did not care, why would she still ask for her reward? Who knew if there was anything fishy about her foundation? Maybe it was just a window dressing, and by then, she would just be passing the money from her left hand to her right hand! Only a fool would believe that Shen Hanxing was truly that selfless.
Lu Shaoyang’s heart was filled with malicious speculations. He transferred the money with a sullen face. After confirming that the money had been transferred, Shen Hanxing’s eyes curved into crescents, and her face was filled with a relaxed smile. “On behalf of all the women who were helped, I thank you for your generosity, Young Master Lu.” There were many things that could be done with ten million dollars. It could also save a lot of women. At the thought of this, Shen Hanxing’s smile became even more sincere.
Lu Shaoyang, however, found Shen Hanxing’s smile to be extremely piercing. He snorted coldly. “If you agree to a bet, you must accept your loss. How Mrs. Ji deals with the money has nothing to do with me.” Shen Hanxing’s words of gratitude sounded more like mockery to him.
Shen Hanxing could not care less about Lu Shaoyang’s attitude. She kept her phone and waved at Ji Qian and the others. “Alright, aren’t we going fishing? Let’s go quickly while it’s still early.”
Ji Qian cheered and pulled Ji Ning and Ji Mo back to the courtyard to get some tools. Ji Yan glanced at Lu Shaoyang with cold eyes and said calmly, “Young Master Lu, if you don’t want to compete anymore, then we’ll take our leave.” It was not his usual style to be so polite. Shen Hanxing could not help but look up at him.
Sensing Shen Hanxing’s gaze, Ji Yan smiled and said, “You seem very happy, my wife.”
Shen Hanxing was, of course, elated to receive such a huge sum of money! The Starry Foundation did not raise any donations from the public. All the initial investments were made by her. During this period of time, there were some returns from the women who had walked out of the shadow of life. The foundation had only been established for a short time, and those who could return the favor to the foundation were in the minority. Many girls had just been sent back to school, and there was a steady stream of donations after that. Under such circumstances, the foundation could be simple and maintain its original intention to help more people in need. However, it was inevitable. After all, an individual’s strength was limited, and the things they could do were also limited. Shen Hanxing was not a greedy person. She knew that she had to take things one step at a time, and the foundation could be developed slowly. She was still doing a good deed if she could help one person. Moreover, the ten million dollars would not only help a single person.
But… Was it not immoral for her to try to scam Lu Shaoyang just because she was happy? He didn’t even manage to catch a sheep when he was looting! Moreover, it was obvious that Lu Shaoyang was going to be penniless soon. Shen Hanxing signaled Ji Yan with her eyes.
“My wife, don’t underestimate a person’s potential.” Ji Yan said indifferently, “Money is like the water in the sea. There will be some if you squeeze it a little.” Wasn’t the Lu Corporation still in business and not bankrupt yet? If he wanted to extort another sum, he would be able to do so.
Shen Hanxing was in a complex mood, while Lu Shaoyang, who had been treated as an id*ot ATM, was about to explode in anger. Shen Hanxing seemed to have been convinced by Ji Yan. She said kindly, “Young Master Lu, if you’re not convinced, we can continue competing. It’s fine. Mr. Ji and I are here to have fun, so we have plenty of time!”
