1286 Special Ceremony

Qiao Xi abruptly sat up straight and widened her eyes. How is this possible?

Could it be that the He family had been putting on an act all these years? If they did not want to donate, they could just not hold a charity banquet. However, they insisted on holding it every year. Was it just for their reputation?

Song Shiyu looked up and explained, The He family is constantly promoting a kind image for the He family. They donate to the mountains to build schools and repair roads. Everyone says that they're kind, but who knows if the money they donated actually goes to building schools?

He Weinian holds charity banquets every year and uses his position to take a portion of the money. Not only does he earn a reputation, but he also earns a lot. It's really killing two birds with one stone.

Qiao Xi chuckled. In that case, He Weinian wants both reputation and money. I thought he had no desires!

But the He family doesn't deposit the money in the bank or change it into cash. Instead, they exchange it for gold and jewelry and hide it in the He family, Song Shiyu added.

Qiao Xi nodded. Gold was valuable no matter what, but why did the He family exchange all their money for gold? After all, gold was not as convenient as cash.

Song Shiyu was about to say something when he suddenly saw the man standing outside the door. He immediately left.

Qiao Xi was just about to turn around when the man hugged her from behind. His long fingers gently landed on her fair neck, and a cold touch assaulted her.

How beautiful.

Qiao Xi looked in the mirror. She did not wear makeup, but her lips were red and her teeth were white. She wore a sparkling ruby necklace on her fair neck. The design was ingenious. The ruby was pure without a trace of impurity, and it was as gorgeous as blood.

With her identity as a jewelry designer, she could tell that this necklace was probably worth hundreds of millions. However, she seemed to have seen this necklace somewhere before.

Before she could react, she heard Gu Zheng whisper in her ear, Five years ago, the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor donated a necklace called Scorching Heart'. I think this necklace suits you very well.

Xi Xi, do you like this gift?

Qiao Xi's expression instantly stiffened: It turned out that she was the one who donated this necklace!

Hence, Gu Zheng must know that she was the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor and deliberately bought this necklace!

Qiao Xi raised her eyes slightly, and her face was slightly red. I do, but won't I look too ostentatious wearing this necklace to attend the charity banquet?!

Xi Xi, you should know that there'll be a special ceremony at the charity banquet, right? Gu Zheng smiled meaningfully.

Special ceremony?

Qiao Xi recalled that the charity banquet was actually an occasion for many big shots to compete with each other. Everyone wanted to display their noble status, so they would put in the effort to wear expensive jewelry or watches to the charity banquet. Then, they would donate their things in public to earn a good reputation.

Gu Zheng's slightly cold finger landed on her neck and stroked it. Xi Xi, you can donate this necklace tonight.

She was willing to donate it. As long as she could help those who were really in trouble, of course, she would not be stingy, but

The He family holds charity banquets every year. But in the end, is that money really used for the construction of schools?

Xi Xi, you're starting to suspect something too, right? Gu Zheng's tone was calm, but his eyes were filled with a sharp coldness. Of course, they don't hold charity banquets to show their love but to fill their pockets. All that money from previous banquets is still kept in the He family.

Judging from He Weinian's character, the man must only believe in himself. It was safest to keep the money by his side.

Qiao Xi suddenly thought of something. You want to donate this necklace because you want to track the money using it?

How smart! Gu Zheng rubbed her head with a gentle smile.

Qiao Xi immediately took off the necklace and carefully examined it. In the end, she noticed something on one of the gems. She raised her eyes in surprise. This gem has been dismantled!

Gu Zheng had personally done the work. Ordinary people were unable to notice this slight difference. Only the original owner of the necklace, Qiao Xi, was able to notice this slight difference.

But Song Shiyu said that He Weinian will exchange some of his money for gold. How can you be sure that he won't sell this necklace? Qiao Xi asked.

Gu Zheng replied confidently, This necklace is different. It's extremely valuable. He Weinian is a businessman and will maximize his benefits. Wouldn't it be a waste to exchange the necklace for gold?

That's why I'm sure that He Weinian will definitely put this necklace in the He family's treasure vault. At that time, we'll know the exact location of the He family's treasure vault.
