Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Yi Jingxi pushed her hands away and glared at her coldly. Zhong Yi pursed her lips spitefully and turned to glare at Luo Sang. She hated her guts. Luo Sang felt aggrieved. She had no idea what stunt Nian Junting was going to pull. It wasn’t her plan.

Ji Nuanyi tugged her arm and gave her a thumbs up. She whispered, “Thank goodness your boyfriend isn’t in the entertainment industry. He would win best actor, no doubt.”

Luo Sang chuckled. Nian Junting held her hand gently, raised it to his face, and planted a firm kiss. It was yet another blow to Yi Jingxi.

…

At 9:40pm, the charity auction had ended. There had been 30 items available, and Nian Junting had been the star of the entire auction. When the event ended, he was surrounded by many celebrities and business tycoons who were all singing his praises.

Yi Jingxi was about to slip away quietly when Nian Junting called out to him. “Mr. Yi, you are a big stakeholder in the entertainment industry. The Movie Estate has earned you tens of millions of dollars easily. You only donated 4,000,000 tonight. I hope you can participate more actively in the future. You shouldn’t be keeping all your money in your own pocket. There are so many children out there in need of our financial support. It won’t mean much to you, but it could potentially change the lives of a less-privileged family in a rural village,” Nian Junting said thoughtfully.

If Luo Sang hadn’t known better about the tricks up his sleeve, she would have been moved by his sensational speech.

One of the more senior businessmen said in approval, “Not only is Master Nian young and successful, but you also have a heart of gold. CEO Murong really taught her grandson well. If I had a grandson like you, I would have sweet dreams every night.”

“Uncle Cheng, I’m just trying my best to do the right thing,” Nian Junting said humbly.

Yi Jingxi watched the conversation and wished he could throw his shoe at Nian Junting’s face. He should really go into acting. Yi Jingxi had never met anyone as fake as Nian Junting, even after all these years in business.

Yi Jingxi would have been much more generous if he had been in a better mood. Now he looked as if he were a shrewd and calculating businessman after Nian Junting’s noble and altruistic lecture. He had made himself look like a saint. There was nothing Yi Jingxi could do about it.

“Mr. Nian, you’ve taught me quite a lesson. I’ll remember what you’ve said tonight,” Yi Jingxi said through gritted teeth and promptly took his leave.

“Look at him, he looked so indignant,” Nian Junting said to Mr. Cheng. “My grandfather always told me not to forget the poor when you enjoy the riches of the world.”

Mr. Cheng said with approval, “Don’t hold it against him. He’s just a despicable man who earned his place with the help of a woman. A petty figure.”

Luo Sang was shocked. How did people know about that?

“Ay, why do you say so, Mr. Cheng?” Nian Junting raised his brows.

“I only found out recently. You’ve heard about what happened to Xu Zhengxuan, right? Although he got what he deserved, his daughter was sadly implicated as well. I heard that Yi Jingxi was engaged to his daughter and stole the Xu Group from her the moment her father went to jail. Apparently, she was robbed of everything. What an immoral man. She was the reason he could enter the Xu Group in the first place. The worst part is that he banned her from entering the entertainment industry after that. She couldn’t even find a job. Who knows where she is now?”
