Chapter 1270 — What Is Grandpa Zhu's Purpose?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Since it hasn't started, shouldn't Mr. Yu go and get ready? Make a rather larger contribution to charity in a little while? You're not planning to pinch every penny, are you, Mr. Yu?" Qiu Lingshan disliked Xie Yufeng, but she had no objection to making him play the sucker and cough up a sum of money.
"Heh heh, as a matter of fact, I've been ready for a long time! I support charitable causes wholeheartedly! I never expected Miss Song to be a patron of charity as well!" Xie Yufeng laughed, while inwardly turning over how much he ought to give.
Since Qiu Lingshan liked people with a heart for others, he ought naturally to give a bit more. Give too little, and she would surely think him stingy; give too much, and Xie Yufeng would feel wronged — why should his money go down the drain? If Qiu Lingshan weren't standing here, he wouldn't donate a single cent!
Seeing Xie Yufeng sidle up to Qiu Lingshan, Wei Zhao knitted his brows slightly. Did this brat know Qiu Lingshan? At this point Wei Zhao still didn't know Xie Yufeng's identity, nor of the marriage alliance between the Yu and Song families.
Qiu Lingshan hadn't told Wei Zhao, because Wei Zhao still had no feelings for her, and she did not want to humiliate herself — to have Wei Zhao seize the excuse and push her off onto Xie Yufeng. As for Yang Huaijun, when he spoke with Wei Zhao on the phone, he had assumed Wei Zhao already knew about it, so he hadn't brought it up much either. There was already the grudge over Pangolin, and Wei Zhao had no intention of letting the Yu family off anyway — so why mention the ties between Wei Zhao, Qiu Lingshan, and the Yu family? That would only make him look like a gossip!
So when Wei Zhao saw Xie Yufeng talking to Qiu Lingshan, he was immediately rather suspicious.
And Xie Yufeng, for his part, had no idea of the connection between Wei Zhao and Qiu Lingshan. Otherwise he would never have spoken with Qiu Lingshan right in front of Wei Zhao! He didn't know that his behavior was on the verge of exposing his identity.
Soon the grand final of the singing competition began. Tang Zhi and Gu Mengyao, both splendidly dressed, walked out onto the stage.
The two were of similar height and similar beauty, and the moment they stepped onstage they set off an uproar in the audience!
Tang Zhi already belonged to someone, while Gu Mengyao was a lofty young heiress. Though the boys below all knew their chances were slim, that did not stop their love of beauty! If they couldn't have her for themselves, surely they could at least look?
And the outsiders invited here for the donation rally now began chattering among themselves, inquiring after the backgrounds of these two girls!
Keeping a schoolgirl as a mistress was no secret among men of wealth. The moment Gu Mengyao and Tang Zhi, these two peerless beauties, took the stage, they drew the attention of these rich men — and there was nothing surprising in that! Both were already ravishing, and with makeup applied they were even more dazzling and alluring. It would have been stranger still if these men hadn't been moved!
But once they learned that Gu Mengyao was Gu Pengzhan's daughter, they shifted their attention to Tang Zhi.
Gu Mengyao could never be kept — the daughter of Gu Pengzhan, the foremost financial tycoon of Songshan City, was she someone who lacked money? Especially after certain events of late, the Gu family was at its zenith; who would dare keep the eldest daughter of the Gu family as a mistress? RO
