Chapter 426: She Was His Redemption
Seeing that Su Jiu’s face was indeed a little red, Han Siye realized that he had pinched her too hard just now. He felt a little guilty, but he did not show it. Pretending to be nonchalant, he said, “Then, I won’t pinch you the next time.”
Su Jiu swung her fist at him and fiercely said, “If you pinch me again, I will hit you!”
Han Siye was speechless.
Is she really being fierce and not acting cute?
He really wanted to say, “It doesn’t matter if you hit me because you’re cute. I’ll stand there and let you hit me!”
Song Xinyan secretly glanced at him and whispered to Su Jiu, “Little Jiu, is he the one who was in the show with you? He always bullied you during the show!”
Su Jiu looked at Han Siye and angrily said, “Look, everyone says that you bully me. Are they wrong?”
Han Siye lightly snorted and arrogantly said, “Who asked you to look like someone who wants to get bullied?”
What?
Listen to yourself. Does that even make sense?
I can bet that a man like you would get dumped by your girlfriend, if you can even find one!

Soon, the charity banquet officially started. Su Shengjing brought Su Jiu to their designated seats and sat down. Han Siye and Song Xinyan reluctantly followed their fathers to sit somewhere else. They sat far away from Su Jiu and were both unhappy.
Qin Feng’s seat was two rows behind Su Shengjing. The two of them had not noticed him, but he was paying attention to Su Shengjing’s every move.
The show was about to start.
We’ll see.
A host walked out on the stage. Then, he introduced the important guests and the specific procedures for the day’s event. Actually, there would just be an auction of some items the guests had contributed. All the money earned would be donated to charity organizations.
Such a charity event was held two or three times a year. Many celebrities would choose to participate in it for the sake of their reputation and popularity. Although Su Shengjing had come here at Han Jiani’s request, he genuinely wanted to contribute to charity. Previously, when he was filming “Daddy, Let’s Go,” the children at the orphanage had left a deep impression on him.
It was only then that he had realized that many people were more miserable than him. When he had been embroiled in scandals, he had left the industry and lived without much hope. It was simply a waste of his life!
Fortunately, Su Jiu had appeared in his life. She was his salvation.
As Su Shengjing thought about this, he could not help but tightly hug the little girl.
The auction proceeded in an orderly manner. Many celebrities took out their collections of jewelry, expensive bags, vases, calligraphy paintings, and limited edition toys. Each of the items was sold at a high price.
Before long, it was An Yuan’s turn to go on stage.
She was auctioning off a set of diamond jewelry, which had been placed in a brocade box as if it were brand new. The moment she went on stage, she attracted everyone’s attention. Such a great beauty was really pleasing to the eye!
The host said that the starting bid for this set of jewelry was 100,000 yuan, and each increment was no less than 10,000 yuan. Immediately, someone raised the sign and said, “One hundred thousand!”
“Two hundred thousand!”
“Three…”
“Four…”
…
The bidding at the venue was intense. An Yuan suddenly glanced at Su Shengjing’s seat. When she saw that he was looking at her, her heart skipped a beat. She reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear and quickly looked away.
When Su Jiu heard that the price had risen to one million, she almost drooled.
She wished that one day, she could also spend a million yuan as though it were two yuan.
