Chapter 140: Leave It to Me

The guests attending the charity dinner had all donated their personal items in advance. Regardless of the price, the money from the auction would be donated.

“I asked you to go out earlier, but you haven’t left the house. I’ve been too busy recently, so busy that I forgot to inform you about the donation.” Ji Mei asked with a smile. “Hanxing, you won’t mind, right?”

Shen Hanxing smiled meaningfully. “Of course I don’t mind.” She paused for a moment and then added with a smile, “It’s for charity after all. I should help out too. I didn’t make any preparations beforehand. Why don’t I take out this pair of earrings and auction them?” There was a hint of regret and reluctance on her face, she said softly, “I like this pair of earrings very much. It’s the same set as the jewelry on my neck. Don’t try to s.n.a.t.c.h it from me later. Let me bid it back.”

People donated their own stuff and bid it back at a charity auction, it was a really common thing. The auction was just a formality. The biggest meaning was to donate money for charity.

Shen Hanxing took off the earring and gently placed it on the tray. She smiled and said, “I’ll have to trouble you to add another item in the auction. Auntie won’t mind, right?”

“Of course not.” Ji Mei’s expression tensed up. She smiled and said, “I’ll make the arrangements right away.”

“Since you have already given up your love, I naturally have to express my grat.i.tude.” Ji Yan also untied the wrist.w.a.tch on his hand and placed it on the tray. “I’ll give this too.”

Cheng Liu took the tray and smiled. “Okay, leave it to me.”

Shen Hanxing pushed Ji Yan into the venue. The two of them were already outstanding looking, and they became the focus of attention the moment they entered the venue. Cheng Songyang, who was chatting cheerfully with others, had a slightly gloomy look in his eyes. He quickly stepped forward to greet them. His eyes were filled with concern as he said, “I’m glad that you can attend this charity dinner. You locked yourself up in the room previously. I was very worried.”

“Is that so?” Ji Yan raised his eyes and looked at him with a sullen look. After a long while, he said plainly, “I’ve made you worried.”

“Your health has improved a lot. Shouldn’t you go back to the company to take a look?” Cheng Songyang smiled, and there was a probing look in his eyes. “You are not in charge of the overall situation in the company. Everyone is always a little uneasy.”

“You did very well.” Ji Yan lowered his eyes, and after a short sentence, he did not respond. His hair was not fixed, and the slightly long hair on his forehead hung down in front of his eyes. The hair covered his subtle expression, adding a little gloominess to it.

Cheng Songyang narrowed his eyes, wanting to take a closer look, but he could not. He could not help but frown and had some doubts in his heart. He did not know what was going on, but he had a very bad premonition in his heart. He subconsciously opened his mouth and asked, “There will be a shareholders’ meeting. At that time, you must come.” He had been the acting president for a period of time. During this period, he had managed to win over many shareholders. This shareholders’ meeting was the first step for him to take full control of Ji Corporation.

If Ji Yan was not present in the meeting, he would not enjoy the joy of victory to the fullest. He wondered if Ji Yan would be furious when he saw all the shareholders abandon him.

Cheng Songyang’s eyes could not hide the malice in them. Shen Hanxing could not help but frown. Her expression was cold. “Let’s talk about these things later. Compared to the company’s matters, Ji Yan needs to relax his mood and body during this period of time. I believe Mr. Cheng can understand, right?”

Of course, he could understand.

Cheng Songyang revealed a gentlemanly smile. “Of course, Ji Yan’s health is more important. It’s just that…” He deliberately showed a wavering expression and wanted to say something but hesitated.

Ji Yan had always been a workaholic who focused on his career. There seemed to be something going on in the company, and Ji Yan would definitely continue to ask. Did he need to relax physically and emotionally? Cheng Songyang sneered in his heart. How could he give him the chance to recover his health? Cheng Songyang wanted to take advantage of Ji Yan’s illness. He wanted to crush Ji Yan so that he would never be able to get up again.

“What’s wrong?” Ji Yan raised his eyes slightly, revealing a pair of deep eyes. “Is there a problem with the company?” The lights in the banquet hall were bright, but his eyes devour all the light, leaving only a bottomless darkness in his eyes.

Under Ji Yan’s gaze, Cheng Songyang’s body turned cold. It was as if all his scheming had been seen clearly, and he could not speak for a moment.

How was that possible? How could he be frightened by Ji Yan? He was no longer the Ji Yan that everyone looked up to and who was able to dominate the business world. He was now just a cripple with crippled legs. Why would he be afraid of him!
