1650 One Has To Be Grateful

After the girl finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Then, a young man said, Because 28 years ago, Chairman He's ex-wife and two children died in a car accident. Chairman He's heart ached, so he donated his and his ex-wife's assets to build a mountain road.

Qiao Xi looked up, and Cheng Juan revealed a regretful expression. Chairman He was really doing charity back then. I'm an orphan he sponsored.

Back then, it was Chairman He who gave us a chance to learn, but I'm the only one who's still in contact with Chairman He. There's no news of those 15 people.

The two women glanced at Cheng Juan and asked shyly, Is Chairman He considered your benefactor?

That's right! He was really good in the past. I didn't expect Cheng Juan sighed. I think he's kind-hearted, but those two children have malicious intentions. The kids who received President He's sponsorship are very grateful to him.

There were a few reporters sitting beside them, and they captured this scene and uploaded it online. Because of Cheng Juan's words, everyone's impression of He Weinian changed.

Cheng Juan was a famous jewelry appraiser, after all. There were also documents that showed that he was indeed an orphan sponsored by He Weinian.

The anger in everyone's hearts dissipated a little. It seemed that He Weinian was a true philanthropist a few years ago and had sponsored many orphans. However, someone raised a question right on the heels of that.

Back then, He Weinian had sponsored 16 orphans. Why was only Cheng Juan speaking up for He Weinian in the end? Where were the other 15?

Even if He Weinian's reputation was ruined now, he had sponsored those orphans, after all. Couldn't they stand up for their benefactor?

After scolding He Weinian, the netizens started scolding those orphans for being heartless.

Cheng Juan looked at the comments online with malicious eyes. They did not deserve to be scolded like this. Sooner or later, he would seek justice for his friends!

Qiao Xi knew Cheng Juan's plan. He wanted to use public opinion to lead the way. Soon, someone would investigate the whereabouts of those 15 people. Then, they would realize that those 15 people had mysteriously disappeared. The reason they disappeared was because they were already dead!

Cheng Juan had 15 lives on his shoulders. He worked for He Weinian and endured humiliation. No one knew how he had survived all these years.

Qiao Xi slowly closed her eyes as her heart ached. He was planning all this alone and shouldering the heavy responsibility of taking revenge. How difficult was it for him?

Why do you look like you have nothing to live for? Cheng Juan smiled and sat opposite her. Qiao Xi, don't tell me you pity me?

Qiao Xi slowly opened her eyes with a calm expression. Mr. Cheng, shouldn't you be in the He family's residence now?

I'm showing my gratitude. I'm busy helping Chairman He clear his name!

Cheng Juan's eyes were malicious as he lowered his voice and said, Chairman He should be very grateful to me now. He Tingchen and He Wenxian are both good-for-nothings. They can't help at all when he's in trouble. On the other hand, if I help him gain goodwill in front of outsiders, he'll probably want me to be his son!

Qiao Xi took a sip of coffee. Cheng Juan, what's your true age?

Before Qiao Xi could answer, Cheng Juan immediately changed the topic. By the way, Master and Master's wife are here in Li City. They're holding a banquet for Master's wife's birthday tomorrow. Do you know about it?

Qiao Xi nodded. Third Brother told me a long time ago that they would celebrate Godmother's birthday tomorrow.

The next day, an hour before the Qin family's birthday party began.

Madam Qin looked at the guest list with a gloomy expression. I didn't invite Xia Chunyu either! Why is she on the list too?

At this moment, Qin An walked in. The butler said that Xia Chunyu was added at the last minute. After all, Xia Corporation is famous in the capital. When Xia Chunyu came, she said that she forgot to bring an invitation. The butler didn't expect Xia Chunyu to pretend to be a guest, so he wrote her name on it.

Madam Qin was even more speechless.

Madam. Qin Xian advised softly, We can't offend the Xia family yet. If Xia Chunyu wants to come, we can't refuse.

I clearly didn't invite her, yet she still shamelessly came. Do I have to raise my hands to welcome her? I'm already showing her enough respect by not chasing her out!

Moreover, Xia Chunyu is just an adopted daughter. She used Xia Corporation's reputation to commit crimes. Now, she even provoked our Qin family! Madam Qin was indignant, but after a moment, she sighed helplessly. Forget it. We really can't offend the capital's Xia Corporation. That family is terrible!
