Chapter 2549: Charity Banquet
Feng Chen could not imagine Ye Yu being dumped by a woman.
But it should be impossible.
That woman, Ning Yuan, had a strong motive. She had always been the one to take the initiative with Ye Yu.
If she caught up to Ye Yu, she would not let go so easily!
Ye Yu must have dumped her first!
….
After Ning Yuan went to the hospital for a checkup, she received a call from Ning Bangguo.
“Yuanyuan, Star City Hotel is holding a charity banquet tonight. You should attend and contribute to the charity.”
In the past, Ning Yuan would listen to whatever Ning Bangguo said.
After all, she had always thought that this uncle was the only one in the Ning family who treated her as family.
Later, Song Yuling gave her to President Li and Ning Bangguo acquiesced to this matter, which enlightened her.
Where did kinship come from? In their hearts, she could only be used!
“Uncle, I have work to do.”
“Yuanyuan, are you still angry at me? I had no way out at that time and there was a problem with the company…”
“Uncle, the leader is calling me. I won’t talk to you anymore.”
Ning Yuan hung up.
She was not lying. Xie Ancheng was indeed calling her.
Ning Yuan arrived at Xie Ancheng’s office.
“Xiao Yuan, accompany me to a party tonight.”
Ning Yuan used to accompany Xie Ancheng to banquets occasionally. She did not associate the banquet Xie Ancheng was talking about with the charity banquet Ning Bangguo was talking about.
She went home early in the afternoon and changed into a bright red dress. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders and she had exquisite makeup on. Her facial features were beautiful and her skin was fair and smooth.
When Xie Ancheng saw Ning Yuan, he could not help but freeze for a few seconds.
“There’s some pressure in letting you be my female companion!”
Ning Yuan glanced at herself. “Shall I change into a gown?”
“It’s alright. This one is quite good.”
Xie Ancheng drove to Star City Hotel.
Ning Yuan was stunned when she saw the red carpet and signature board outside.
“A charity banquet?”
“Yes, there will be many elites tonight. If there’s a chance, let’s exchange business cards with them.”
The moment Xie Ancheng finished speaking, someone called Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan turned back and saw Ning Bangguo, Song Yuling, and Ning Shiyu getting out of the car.
“Chief Xie, that’s my uncle’s family.”
Xie Ancheng nodded. “Then you can talk to them. I’ll go in first.”
After Xie Ancheng went in, Ning Yuan turned around and looked at the family of three.
Ning Shiyu looked at Ning Yuan, who was wearing a red dress that did not look strange on her. Instead, it made her skin look fairer and more beautiful. There was an indescribable envy and jealousy in her heart.
No matter how much she hated Ning Yuan, she had to admit that Ning Yuan was a woman who could show off her unrestrained colors!
“Ning Yuan, didn’t you say you wouldn’t come?”
Ning Yuan smirked faintly. “I came with the leader.”
Ning Shiyu looked at Ning Yuan from head to toe. “It’s a charity banquet tonight, not a beauty pageant. Do you want our Ning family to be laughed at by others by making yourself so ostentatious?”
“The gown I’m wearing is just an ordinary gown, unlike Shiyu and Auntie, who are covered in jewelry and shining brightly. I’m sure you will make a lot of contributions to charity tonight.”
As Ning Yuan spoke, several rich ladies passed by them.
The rich ladies were dressed appropriately and did not wear as much jewelry as Song Yuling and Ning Shiyu. In comparison, the two of them looked like nouveau riche.
Ning Shiyu’s expression changed and wanted to say something, but Song Yuling pulled her back and gave her a look.
Ning Bangguo knew that Song Yuling did not like Ning Yuan. He pulled Ning Yuan aside and said with a gentle smile, “Yuanyuan, Uncle will give you a surprise at the charity auction later.”
Ning Yuan wanted to see something from Ning Bangguo’s eyes, but she could not see anything.
There was gentleness and friendliness in Ning Bangguo’s eyes and his love for her.
Entering the banquet hall of the charity banquet, Ning Yuan found Xie Ancheng.
They sat at a round table near the back.
Ning Bangguo and his family sat at the round table in front of them.
For such a banquet, the seats were arranged according to class. The higher the status, the higher the seat.
Ning Yuan looked ahead and her heart skipped a beat when she saw Feng Chen.
Feng Chen had already come to attend tonight’s charity banquet, but what about Ye Yu?
Ning Yuan looked forward but did not see Ye Yu.
In the morning, she went to the hospital for a checkup. She was indeed four weeks pregnant.
She had already made an appointment with the doctor for the surgery.
While Ning Yuan was in a daze, the charity banquet had already started.
Ning Yuan heard laughter around and looked up at the stage.
A model was standing on the stage with an old teddy bear.
The moment she saw the teddy bear, Ning Yuan’s pupils constricted.
“Although our number one donation tonight is old, it’s a treasure to that VIP.”
“This was given to her by her deceased father. She has been carrying it since she was young. Now, for our charity, she has donated it. The starting price is one million. The person with the highest price can not only get the treasure of that VIP, but also dance with him.”
Before Ning Yuan could recover from the shock, a beam of light and the camera on the big screen suddenly switched to her.
Her skin was fair and beautiful. She was wearing a long red dress that looked like a blooming red rose, attracting everyone’s attention.
Many celebrities did not know that Ning Yuan was the host of the Capital Television Station. Everyone thought that she was a celebrity. With such outstanding looks and figure, even if a broken doll cost millions of dollars, it did not seem like a loss to be able to dance with a beauty!
Most of the people who could come here were not short of money!
At the same time, Ning Bangguo was also shocked. He looked at Ning Shiyu, who was smiling gloatingly, and Song Yuling, who was drinking red wine slowly. “What’s going on? I donated a calligraphy painting left by her father for Yuanyuan. How did it become a doll? Besides, didn’t this doll disappear long ago?”
Ning Bangguo still vaguely remembered that after the fifteen-year-old Ning Yuan came to their house, she would hug this doll to sleep every night. He wanted to buy another one for her, but she refused. Later, he found out that it was a birthday gift from her father when she was young.
Not long after, the doll disappeared and Ning Yuan cried for several nights because of it.
Looking at Ning Bangguo’s angry and accusing gaze, Song Yuling put down the red wine and snorted. “I found her doll in the basement. Donating this is much more valuable than calligraphy and painting.”
“What do you mean?”
“People who like her beauty will naturally bid a high price. Besides, dolls mean a lot to her. She might be willing to follow whoever bid for it! Hubby, our family has taken care of her for several years. Does she think she can get rid of us with President Li’s investment?”
