Chapter 318


    "Mom, today is the Shi family''s big day. We can''t steal their limelight," Chu Ling said calmly.


    It was not that he could not bear to part with the money. He could spend it for Shi Xuexin, but he did


    not want to go on stage.


    Mrs. Chu knew that her son was being arrogant. She did not say anything else.


    Shi Xuexin was heartbroken when she heard Chu Ling''s words. How could he have said that? How


    was this stealing the limelight? Wasn''t everyone waiting for him?


    Chu Ling didn''t say anything as they waited. Chu Jia couldn''t wait any longer.


    She saw Shi Jin walking out of the main hall and said, "Shi Jin is here!"


    Shi Jin had been at the banquet and saw that He Ziheng and the rest had left for quite a while and


    had not returned. As the host, she could not act as if nothing had happened, so she wasing out


    to see if they needed anything.


    The moment she came out, Chu Jia called her name.


    The name Shi Jin attracted too much attention.


    Everyone looked at her immediately. All eyes were on her fair, clean face.


    She did not smile; her expression was cold, but her eyes were clear and pure. Her lips were red and


    her teeth were white. Just by standing there, it was impossible to look down on her.


    "Why is Shi Jin here?" "Shi? Isn''t she the one who got reced by Shi Xuexin?" "Oh right, I heard


    about that. The mixed up children are Shi Jin and Shi Xuexin!"


    "Didn''t they say that Shi Jin has broken ties with the Shi family and Chu Ling? What happened?"


    Shi Jin said to everyone, "Everyone, today is my birthday. I''m just having a meal with my family and


    friends in the hall. Please don''t misunderstand."


    Her voice was clear and powerful. Even without a microphone, everyone could hear her.


    Sure enough, everyone stopped talking after hearing that. However, Chu Jia refused to let her go.


    How could she miss such a good opportunity to please Shi Xuexin?


    "No matter what, Shi Jin, you grew up in the Shi family. Today is your birthday too. Why don''t you


    participate in our event? How about this? Who''s willing to give Shi Jin a birthday song? The money


    for thepetition will be donated to charity," Chu Jia immediately said.


    She had asked for Shi Jin''s opinion, but she did not give her a chance to speak.


    Especially when she was holding the microphone, her voice was naturally stronger than when she


    spoke alone. Everyone could hear her immediately. This way, Shi Jin would be forced into the so-


    called bidding war!


    He Ziheng could not help but curse. "F*ck! What kind of person is this! Her mind is too sinister and


    vicious, isn''t it? She''s purposely catching Shi Jin off guard!"


    "Will anyone bid? Anyone? Anyone?" Chu Jia asked repeatedly.


    It was obvious that she was doing this on purpose. All the guests were present. Even Shi Jin''s fans


    would find it difficult to participate in such an event for Shi Jin.


    Her repeated questions were meant to pressure people.


    The people from the Shi family, Yu family, and Chu family would definitely not bid for Shi Jin.


    Everyone''s gaze shifted from Chu Jia to Shi Jin and then to Shi Xuexin.


    It was obvious that these people wereparing Shi Xuexin and Shi Jin. They seemed to be


    pondering why Shi Jin was having to bear the brunt of such cold treatment. If it wasn''t her fault, then


    could it be the fault of everyone in the Shi family?


    He Ziheng immediately raised his hand. It was just money, so what?


    From the looks of Chu Jia, Shi Xuexin and the rest, it seemed Shi Xuexin had someone who could


    fork out money.

    Even Chu Ling did not speak. Shi Xuexin had nothing to be proud of since she had the air of a top


    celebrity.


    "Three..." He Ziheng said.


    Before he could finish his sentence, someone came out from the main hall and interrupted him.


    "Wait!"


    Chu Jia immediatelyughed. "So someone is giving Shi Jin three?"


    "Hahahahaha, three yuan!"


    Hearing Chu Jia''sughter, everyone burst intoughter.


    "300 million!" A deep, powerful male voice with a hint of maism rang out. The moment he


    opened his mouth, he suppressed theughter and ridicule of the crowd.


    Everyone fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Fu Xiuyuan.


    The man''s tall figure stood out amongst the crowd. His handsome facial features were


    extraordinary, and he had an imposing aura. Even the person who had jumped the most earlier did


    not dare to be rash.


    As he strode over, the crowd subconsciously wanted to submit to him and make way for him. He


    walked towards Shi Jin and stood beside her.


    Shi Jin looked at him as he walked towards her. The coldness between his brows dissipated when


    he saw her, reced by gentleness.


    She looked up, her smile forcing back the coldness from her face as she stared at him.


    "I''m here," Fu Xiuyuan said in a low voice.


    Shi Jin nodded her head lightly. Just one sentence from him was enough to appease her. She threw


    all her worries to the back of her mind. It was as if he was the only person in the world worth her


    attention.


    Shi Jin''s long, seaweed-like hair hung over her shoulders. Her face was fair and charming. When


    she stood beside the man, theyplemented each other, making the perfect match.


    Shi Xuexin and Chu Jia''s eyes lit up when they saw the man.


    Shi Xuexin had seen him before. At that time, she had thought that he was just a newbie in the


    entertainment industry and hadn''t taken him seriously. However, upon closer inspection, she


    realized that this man was not as simple as some fresh meat celebrity. His aura alone was not


    something that an entertainmentpany could develop.


    The two fresh meat friends Chu Ling brought along had originally seemed very good-looking, but


    compared to


    Fu Xiuyuan, they were simply nothing.


    Chu Jia couldn''t help, but fall for such a man. How could there be such a stunning man here? Why


    hadn''t she seen him before? Why was this man standing beside Shi Jin?


    Even Chu Ling could not help but frown. He looked at Fu Xiuyuan and tried to figure out his identity.


    As far as he knew, there was no one like him in the capital. Or was he just ignorant? Since when


    had Shi Jin been involved with such a man?


    Chu Jia was stunned and didn''t know what to say.


    Someone in the crowd said, "300 million? Someone is really offering 300 million just to give Shi Jin


    a birthday song?"


    The crowd started discussing.


    Although everyone was rich, 300 million was still an astronomical figure. Besides, with this 300


    million, what was the harm in using it?


    Chu Jia also came back to her senses. 300 million? Shi Jin really knew how to find someone to


    tter her!


    This man was handsome and could indeed give Shi Jin some face, but could he give her 300


    million? Or rather, would Shi Jin dare to let him spend that money?


    "Haha, this gentleman has offered 300 million to give Shi Jin a birthday song! Really?" Chu Jia''s


    tone was full of disbelief. However, her tone was still restrained. No matter what, she was


    instinctively afraid of Fu Xiuyuan and would not dare to go overboard.


    "A cheque." Fu Xiuyuan took out a cheque. "In Shi Jin''s name. Donate it to charity."
