His Glamorous Reborn Wife

Chapter 317

"Today, we would like to continue donating to a birthday charity fund for Xuexin. Furthermore, we welcome everyone to participate."

Everyone applauded and welcomed her words.

Everyone knew that the Shi family was a newly wealthy family and was involved in philanthropic work. It was very admirable that they were doing such a thing.

Chu Jia smiled and said, "In other words, we are participating in a competition today. Whoever gives the highest donation amount will be able to stand on stage and give Xuexin her birthday song. The funds will be donated directly to charity.

"This is not only for Xuexin's birthday, but also for a good cause."

Everyone below the stage nodded in agreement.

The manager was stunned. He hadn't expected Yuxiu Hua and the Shi family to take the initiative to organize such an event. They hadn't even informed the hotel.

He was about to go forward to negotiate when He Ziheng blinked and stopped him. "Manager."

"Please speak." The manager hurriedly bowed.

"Let them do it," He Ziheng said. "Don't stop them."

"Yes," the manager said in a low voice. After all, everyone in the waiting room could stay there. As long as they didn't cause too much trouble, it wouldn't be a problem.

He Ziheng then said, "That Chu Jia is really too funny.

Did she think that she could occupy the big screen and not let us use it? She even came up with this trick. It's really laughable." This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Pei Junyi chimed in, "No wonder Sis-in-law was always unhappy when she was at the Shis'. It turns out that there's so much rubbish around them."

"Then let's see what else they can do today," Lan Tian said. "We're free today anyway."

Chu Jia picked up the microphone, and her face appeared on the big screen. She said, "Now, we'll begin bidding for Shi Xuexin's birthday song. The bidders can come up on stage and sing for Xuexin!"

This huge move attracted the attention of everyone in Breeze Wind Pavilion. In an instant, many guests who had already finished eating went to the guest hall to watch the scene.

Chu Ling and Shi Xuexin walked out as well.

Shi Xuexin said in embarrassment, "How can I accept this? The donations from the past were all from the Shi family. How can I let everyone contribute this time?"

Mrs. Chu's approval of her had increased by quite a bit. She smiled and said, "Jiajia told me just now that it shouldn't be a problem. Since we're all here, it'll be fun."

"But Shi Jin is also celebrating her birthday. If we do this, won't it affect her?" Shi Xuexin said softly.

Mrs. Chu didn't say anything, but another relative spoke up. "What's so bad about that? They can do something like this too if they want to. Doesn't Shi Jin have a sugar daddy? Don't tell me that he can't afford it? If we're doing it, they can as well. That's perfect!"

Shi Jin had progressed too quickly in the entertainment industry and her popularity had far exceeded that of others. She had even brought Chu Ling a lot of trouble. Mother Chu had long been

annoyed with her.

Her words had hit the nail on the head. "Yeah, that's it."

A cold expression appeared on Chu Ling's face. When he recalled that Shi Jin's rapid rise to fame had many sugar daddies behind it, his feelings for Shi Jin faded.

Although Gu Jingyuan was very powerful, the rules of the entertainment industry were not something he could control. There had to be an old man behind Shi Jin for her to be so famous.

Even He Ziheng and the rest might have come to celebrate with Shi Jin because of her sugar daddy. Otherwise, with Shi Jin and Gu Jingyuan's abilities, how could they have befriended such an influential person?

Since that was the case, why should he care about her reputation?

Chu Jia stoked the conversation to become even more lively. "Then, everyone can bid now! Anyone want to?" Below the stage were the relatives of the Shi family, the Yu family and the Chu family. There were also clients and Chu Ling's friends.

These people naturally had to give Shi Xuexin face. Immediately, someone said, "1'11 offer 10,000 yuan to give Xuexin a birthday song!"

"30,000!"

"50,000!"

"100,000!"

"200,000 yuan, that's enough! Xuexin's birthday song is mine!"

"250,000, don't forget me!"

Chu Jia smiled and said, "Everyone's bidding is very fierce. Is there anyone else?"

Shi Xuexin tilted her head to look at Chu Ling, who remained silent.

Even though he agreed with his mother's words, he had always carried a heavy burden as an idol. If he were to go on stage at such an occasion, since he could get someone to stop people from posting the video, it would not cause too many adverse effects and the public would not know that he and Shi Xuexin were together.

However, to make a top celebrity like him sing a birthday song on stage?

Chu Ling felt suffocated just thinking about it. He had always been the top celebrity in the world of idols. In the movies he had filmed, he also played a domineering CEO. He walked with style and could control the entire world with just one look and one action.

After living with such a halo for so long, the whole world basically revolved around him. He could not sing such childish songs on stage. Therefore, he did not struggle in his heart and did not raise his hand to bid.

Shi Xuexin was very disappointed. She did not know what was wrong with him.

Was it because of Shi Jin? Or was there something else? Was she not worth it? However, why had he agreed to Chu Jia and the rest doing this?

Whispers came from all around. "This Shi Xuexin is really popular. Her family treats her really well."

"That's right. Money is secondary. What's more valuable is that everyone is willing to spend money for her and is fighting to donate."

"I can tell that this girl has had a good upbringing. This Shi family truly has good taste and good intentions. They don't forget to do charity even on their birthdays."

"Not bad, not bad. You're rich but you haven't forgotten your original aspirations. You're role models for the

wealthy."

These words pleased Shi Qing and Yuxiu Hua. Only Shi Xuexin felt uncomfortable hearing them.

So what if other people offered higher prices? As long as Chu Ling didn't bid, no matter how lively the event became, it would only be a farce.

"700,000!"

"710,000!"

"800,000!"

The bidding continued.

Actually, there was also Yuxiu Hua's handiwork. She had found someone to make a bid and promised that she would pay for it herself.

There were many motives.

Firstly, she wanted to raise Shi Xuexin's status so that the Chus could see that the Shi family's relatives and friends were not only rich and generous, but were also willing to spend money on Shi Xuexin.

Secondly, the highlight of tonight's event was definitely Chu Ling. When Chu Ling called the price, not only did he not have to spend money, but he even shot the price up.

Anyway, they were using the guise of charity. Even if Chu Ling spent money, the Chu family would not lose out. If news of this were to spread, it would be beneficial to Chu Ling. However, since he

had yet to say anything, Yuxiu Hua couldn't sit still anymore.

She turned to Mrs. Chu and Chu Ling.

Mrs. Chu looked at her son. "Chu Ling?"
