Chapter 355: Chapter 353: I Want to Donate 500 Million

”What is this guy trying to do, he couldn’t possibly be so blinded by money that he’s planning a robbery! Well, that’s just great. Go ahead and try, I’ll have you arrested immediately, thrown into jail, and show you what happens when you dare to look down on me,” Bai Zhiqing muttered under her breath.

Sitting in the back, Xue Bing saw Lu Tianxing approach the donation box on stage, and her eyes immediately shot out a gleam. A perfect arc formed at the corner of her mouth, and her fingers unconsciously reached for her thigh – where her service gun lay. If this guy dared try to rob the donations, she’d arrest him on the spot and let him find out what it means to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Bai Zhiqing was also momentarily stunned by Lu Tianxing’s behavior. Could it be that he also intended to donate? However, the money he earned from working abroad wasn’t likely to match even the smallest donations made by those present here, not to mention that Lu Tianxing was currently branded as Bai Zhiqing’s husband and the favorite of Rose. If he took out just a few thousand dollars to donate, he’d probably become the laughingstock of everyone present.

At this moment, Bai Zhiqing was filled with regret. If she had known that Lu Tianxing was going to donate, she would have prepared a check for him in advance to fill in as he wished. But now it was too late. With so many eyes watching, she couldn’t give Lu Tianxing a check; otherwise, he would become the joke of the entire Modu high society.

With this in mind, Bai Zhiqing quickly stood up and followed behind Lu Tianxing. She decided that since Lu Tianxing wanted to donate, she would provide the money. After all, Lu Tianxing was her husband, and she couldn’t let her husband lose face in front of others.

As a woman, you can let your husband wash dishes and mop the floor at home, be a true ”househusband,” but outside, you must give your husband enough respect. Only then can such a life last a long time.

”Hey, isn’t he Bai Zhiqing’s husband? Didn’t Bai Zhiqing just make a donation? What’s he doing up there?”

”Who knows what he’s doing, maybe he’s really going to donate!”

”Donate? Hahaha, I’d like to see how much the man who has Bai Zhiqing’s trust can really donate.”

Seeing Lu Tianxing walking up, all the guests immediately began murmuring among themselves with a hint of mockery and disdain in their eyes. They were indeed curious to see how much a man who could woo Bai Zhiqing and maintain a close relationship with Rose would donate.

Rose stood on the stage, puzzled about what Lu Tianxing was up there for. Her gaze rested on him, and her beautiful eyes were filled with a questioning look.

Lu Tianxing stepped onto the stage, ignoring everyone’s gazes. He smiled at Rose and said, ”I heard Miss Rose that you’re genuinely dedicated to charity, and how could I not offer you my support, right? I’d like to contribute some love. I’m just an ordinary working guy, not much money, but I’ll donate what I can spare, my spending money. I wonder if Miss Rose will accept it?”

”Spending money? You want to donate?”

Rose was slightly startled and inwardly let out a wry laugh. If she had known Lu Tianxing intended to donate, she would have discretely given him a check to fill out herself. As for Lu Tianxing’s spending money – from what she observed last time, he only ever carried a few hundred yuan. Offering such a small amount now would be nothing short of a joke.

”Mr. Lu, I appreciate your goodwill, and it’s the thought that counts,” Rose said while giving Lu Tianxing a knowing look and subtly added, ”Moreover, Mr. Bai has already made a donation just now, and he mentioned that it was a joint donation from both of you, so you don’t need to donate again. Your love for those children will be felt and appreciated.”

”Heh, you’re too concerned, Miss Rose. I may be quite poor, but I can still afford a bit of spending money. There’s no need to persuade me,” laughed Lu Tianxing, with a reassuring smile. He took a deep breath, as though making a huge decision, and slowly extended five fingers.

”Five hundred?”

A staff member standing next to Rose blurted out instinctively.

Lu Tianxing’s face fell. Granted, he wasn’t dressed all that fashionably, but he wasn’t so destitute! What kind of eyesight did this guy have? If not for the fact that he was one of the national inspectors sent here, Lu Tianxing would have really wanted to give him a beating.

”Five thousand?”

The staff member hadn’t even caught a glimpse of Lu Tianxing’s resentment as he blurted out another number.

Lu Tianxing rolled his eyes and outright ignored this remark.

”Five thousand?”

This time it was Rose who spoke, her eyes sweeping over Bai Zhiqing, who followed closely behind, with considerable surprise. She hadn’t expected this woman to be so generous—handing out fifty thousand as pocket money.

Lu Tianxing didn’t respond, only looking at Rose with an expression that screamed speechless. Did this girl really not trust him that much? She was deliberately underestimating the amount to give him a way out, but wasn’t that a little too insulting? Fifty thousand, worthy of his status? With his status, he’d be embarrassed to open his mouth for anything less than fifty million. It looked like he definitely needed to take the time to thoroughly ”educate” this girl—if she was going to doubt her own husband so much.

”I plan to donate five hundred million.”

Lu Tianxing slowly let out a sentence under everyone’s astonished gazes, then added a unit: ”US Dollar.”

”What? How much are you donating?”

Rose’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Lu Tianxing. Five hundred million dollars—could this really be no joke? That was over three billion Huaxia Coins! Did this guy really have that much money?

Rose felt the need to sort out her thoughts. Since she had known Lu Tianxing, she had rarely seen him wear anything that cost over several thousand dollars. The clothes he typically wore were mostly cheap street stall items—she never imagined her husband to be a hidden tycoon.

”I want 500 million US Dollars.”

Lu Tianxing confirmed the number again without any change in tone, as if it were true—as he said, the 500 million dollars was merely his pocket money.

As Bai Zhiqing approached and heard Lu Tianxing’s words, the world before her turned dark, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.

She had thought that if Lu Tianxing donated a few million, maybe ten million at most, it would be the limit, and she could match that. But now, Lu Tianxing had nonchalantly mentioned 500 million US Dollars.

Five hundred million US Dollars—that was a fifth of Bai’s Group’s liquid assets. Despite Bai’s Group boasting a market value of several tens of billions of US Dollars, these were all fixed assets. The money recently obtained from the stock market had all been poured into bidding for the new company and Tianhe Resort—there wasn’t much left. Five hundred million dollars. If that amount were to be pulled out, Bai’s Group might face a broken capital chain.

A bitter smile played on Bai Zhiqing’s lips; she hadn’t expected Lu Tianxing to go this far, as if he considered her a living cash cow. Once the words were out, taking them back would be difficult. Lu Tianxing would become a laughingstock in high society.

”Well, it can’t be helped. He saved your life and is your husband! If it has to be 500 million US Dollars, so be it. I, Bai Zhiqing, made a fortune starting from nothing. I’ve been through countless storms—this bit of money I can still afford. Consider it a gesture of love. After all, he’s your husband!”

Bai Zhiqing sighed deeply, her eyes revealing a hint of determination. Unconsciously, Lu Tianxing had taken a very important place in her heart. She couldn’t bear to see him shamed and would rather see Bai’s Group’s financial chain break than let Lu Tianxing be embarrassed in public.

Perhaps Bai Zhiqing herself hadn’t realized that Lu Tianxing had gradually become so crucial in her heart. If it had been before, she would never have risked the company’s future for anything. But now, Bai Zhiqing was willing to sacrifice the future of Bai’s Group for Lu Tianxing.
