Seeing Xu Fan hit his own female companion in front of a group of people, Ye Cheng was convinced; this guy was nothing but a spineless sycophant!

A smirk full of superiority suddenly appeared.

But before his smile could fully bloom, upon hearing Xu Fan's words, Ye Cheng's expression immediately tightened.

This guy was clearly putting on an act with his companion, intentionally provoking him!

"Wuu wuu, I was wrong..."

A man and a woman, playful and flirtatious in front of him, covered Ye Cheng's face with a layer of frost.

"Xu, do you think I, Ye Cheng, am stupid?"

Having grown up under the protection of the towering Ye Family tree on Hong Kong Island, Ye Cheng had no idea how to be forbearing.

"You've just gained a foothold in Shanghai, and you dare to provoke the Ye Family?"

The argument drew many onlookers, and if it continued, it was feared it would be difficult to stop. Lu Jun quickly tried to signal to Ye Cheng with his eyes.

But Ye Cheng completely ignored him.

Lu Jun might fear Xu Fan, but he didn't!

After all, no one had dared to mess with the Ye Family in years.

In front of everyone, Ye Cheng pointed at Xu Fan and ordered, "Today is a charity banquet, and I, Ye Cheng, do not wish to spoil everyone's mood."

"Your woman has a sharp tongue; she must be punished. Xu Fan, in front of everyone, slap her three times, and I, Ye Cheng, will let it go."

"Oh?"

Looking at the finger Ye Cheng pointed, a chill flashed through Xu Fan's eyes.

"What if I don't?"

If it weren't for the fear of disrupting the charity event intended to help homeless children, Xu Fan would have already slapped Ye Cheng across the face by now.

"Enough! Ye Cheng, don't forget, this is Shanghai, not Hong Kong Island."

Seeing the Ye brat continue to cause trouble, Elder Li, with a face grim as iron, chided him.

"Hmph."

Scolded by Elder Li, Ye Cheng sobered up a bit. After all, this wasn't his turf. He grunted and then walked off to the side.

"Xu Fan, try to avoid entanglements with this guy as much as possible. His Ye Family is indeed no ordinary family."

As the crowd dispersed, Elder Li solemnly reminded Xu Fan.

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Li."

Xu Fan glanced at Elder Li and nodded noncommittally.

"Oppa, why didn't you just agree to it?"

Now alone with Xu Fan, Feng Huang looked at him and asked.

Moments ago, he had stood in front of her, an unfazed aura emanating from him. And honestly, it was quite handsome.

"I can't bear it, hit you three times? You must be joking! Even just hitting your butt earlier broke my heart."

"Come, come, let me feel, did it swell up?"

Having no intention of seriously answering her question, Xu Fan now mockingly reached his hand towards her.

"Go to hell!"

Having no way to deal with him, Feng Huang ended up jokingly squabbling with Xu Fan.

"Everyone, quiet please."

Soon, Li Qinghe stood up in front, microphone in hand.

"I'm sure everyone invited here is aware, the main purpose of today's banquet is to raise funds to aid those homeless children…"

As Li Qinghe delivered her opening remarks at the party, waiters began circulating with donation boards.

The boards had checks attached, and once they had reached everyone, Li Qinghe began to give instructions.

"As for the donation amount, just do your best. After you fill out the check, remember to write your name on the donation board so the children who are helped know who their benefactors are..."

Under Li Qinghe's guidance, everyone who received a donation board began filling in amounts on their checks.

Millions, tens of millions, the donations varied in size, and after filling out the checks, they wrote their names and the amounts donated on the boards.

Even many people took out their phones to seriously take a photo.

This charity cocktail party was purely intended to help children and did not involve media coverage to publicize it widely.

This pure intent displeased quite a few attendees.

How could they perform such a good deed without recognition?

Donating millions, even tens of millions, was not an issue, as it was just a fraction of their wealth, but at the very least, they deserved to earn a good reputation, right?

They might not have hoped for recognition today, but in the future, they surely would have to use these photos to get some media coverage.

Once they had finished writing, waiters came forward to collect the donation boards.

"Chen Dahe donated ten million."

"Mr. Li Zhi, fifteen million."

The donation boards kept coming, one after another from the waiters, and as Li Qinghe loudly read the names and amounts written by the donors.

There were also those not seeking fame, who just filled in the checks without writing their names.

Pressed for time, Li Qinghe could not ascertain the payers from the checks alone and did not read them aloud.

Xu Fan stood next to Feng Huang and listened for a while but did not hear Feng Huang's name.

"Why didn't you write your name? Don't you want to let those helped kids know that someone named Miss Feng Huang helped them?"

Xu Fan asked Feng Huang with a smile, seeing that she likely hadn't forgotten to write her name.

Feng Huang shrugged nonchalantly when Xu Fan asked her.

"Oppa, for me, as long as charity achieves its purpose of helping those in need, that's enough," she said.

Compared to others at the event, Feng Huang's intentions were purely selfless.

She donated not for fame or profit, but merely to help children who suffered like she once had.

Xu Fan smiled and said, "Whether for fame or not, as long as it helps someone, that's good."

Xu Fan didn't particularly care whether others' motives were pure or not; after all, the money that reached the children was real.

This charity cocktail party was closely monitored, ensuring every penny reached those who needed it, preventing anyone from misappropriating it.

"Lu Jun representing the Lu Family, donated thirty million."

...

"Ye Cheng, donated ninety million!"

Soon, Li Qinghe had read all the information on the donation boards.

Unexpectedly, the once arrogant Young Master Ye from Hong Kong Island had donated the most that day.

"As expected of the Ye Family from Hong Kong Island, always so generous!"

"Young Master Ye, why don't you come up and say a few words?"

Coming from the prestigious Ye Family of Hong Kong Island and having just written a check for ninety million, certainly surprised many.

Many people, riding the wave, started to shout from below.

Ye Cheng was quite pleased with the flattery, and with a wave of his hand, he quieted everyone down.

"Since everyone has shown me, Ye Cheng, some respect, I will say a few words today."
