t since he wasn't doing so right now, he knew the American couldn't be praising him for that. He quickly ran to the edge of the deck and looked down, only to become dumbfounded.A while later, Dai Jinc...Chapter 1044: Just Did a Good Deed

"Well said!"

"Bro, you're awesome!"

"That feels so good to yell!"

...

A few people gave Xia Tian a thumbs up while others murmured their approval. Although they didn't dare speak loudly, Xia Tian's words did help them vent.

"Look at you! You won’t even donate one dollar. Do men like you have any future Girls certainly wouldn't want to be with someone like you..." Miss White seemed quite angry and started scolding Xia Tian loudly.

Just then, another voice interrupted her: "Madam, whether my husband is a good-for-nothing or not only concerns me. There's no need for you to get so worked up over it, right"

The speaker is naturally Ning Jie. Originally, her intention was to just give the man a dollar and be done with it. However, Xia Tian didn't want to do that. Now this middle-aged woman was belittling Xia Tian, which made her unhappy. She could definitely agree that her husband had no sympathy, but to say he was good-for-nothing was too far-fetched. If one were to compare who was more successful, she didn’t think there would be many men more successful than her husband.

Hearing Ning Jie’s words, everyone turned to look at her. They all had the same thought: this is a slap in the face! It's such an obvious and direct slap because just now that Sister Bai said he couldn’t find a woman, but there’s actually a beautiful wife who could rival an actress by his side!

Seeing Ning Jie, Sister Bai was also taken aback. She then quickly changed her target to educate: "I’m saying, pretty lady, why do you have to stay with such a good-for-nothing man With your conditions, any other person would be better than him! I’m telling you, a man who can’t even spare a dollar for charity is truly despicable. Even if he has money, he won't spend it on you…"

"Old hag, get lost!" Xia Tian kicked out at her. This woman was actually trying to persuade his wife to find another man; this was simply asking for trouble!

Everyone was stunned. He was indeed strong, but perhaps too strong. To just kick someone flying like that One should know there were cameras around. This so-called charity event even brought along an interview journalist. If the act of hitting someone got recorded, it wouldn’t be good.

Just as these people were worrying for Xia Tian, he had already moved and was by the side of the camera. He grabbed the camera in one hand and smashed it on the ground heavily while grumbling: "Don't use this junk to film my wife!"

The journalist filming was upset—who was filming his wife Clearly, he was filming that guy!

He might be upset, but this journalist knew better than to curse him. From his experience dealing with all sorts of people and situations, he could tell right away that this man was a violent type, so it would be best not to provoke him. Otherwise, he would end up like Sister Bai on the ground.

Seeing the White Sister still lying on the ground and unable to get up, with the camera also broken, those people who were previously stopped from leaving scattered immediately.

Summer felt quite pleased upon seeing this scene: "Stingy wife, who said I can't do good deeds Didn't I just do one"

"I know you would do a good deed. Let's go first!" Ning Jie pulled Summer away, thinking it was better to leave while the White Sister hadn't gotten up yet and left, or else they might get entangled in another argument.

Back at their apartment, Lu Hui and his girlfriend Su Qin had already woken up. They were watching a movie together on their computer but seemed rather distracted.

Before receiving Ning Jie's call, Lu Hui hadn't been concerned about the matter; Su Qin naturally didn't know anything about it either. However, now things were different—they were both looking forward to Ning Jie’s arrival.

Matters often work this way: when you have no expectations or interest in something from the beginning, you won’t pay attention to it at all. But once you start caring about it, you become anxious and uncertain—like now. Lu Hui waited for over half an hour without any news from Ning Jie and began feeling uneasy.

"Ah, why hasn't she come yet Could that Ning Jie have lied to us" Su Qin couldn’t hold back either; although ten thousand yuan wasn’t a huge sum of money, it was still significant for them. With this amount, they could at least advance their dream of buying a house by a year. In these times, who wouldn't want to own their home Renting was not only expensive but also often led to conflicts with landlords and made one feel looked down upon.

"How would I know" Lu Hui felt quite helpless. After some thought, he said: "Su Qin, don’t take it too seriously; originally, I didn't really want those ten thousand yuan anyway. Let’s just pretend this whole thing never happened."

"Sure, but to give people hope and then let them down is really rather mean!" Su Qin was a bit upset. It's understandable; it’s like winning the lottery but when you go to claim your prize, they tell you that your ticket is fake.

Lu Hui had just been about to comfort his girlfriend further when his phone rang. He quickly answered and looked at it, momentarily stunned—it seemed as if their winnings might actually be valid after all

"Isn't that her calling If so, answer the call quick!" Su Qin urged.

Lu Hui nodded, "It’s her. Do you think we should meet her somewhere"

"There's a China Construction Bank at the intersection; let’s meet there. If they really are going to give us the money, we can deposit it straight away—carrying 100 thousand in cash isn’t safe at all. Even if they turn out to be scammers or robbers, meeting them in a bank is safer because there are police nearby." Su Qin quickly thought of a solution.

Lu Hui immediately felt this was a good idea and finally picked up the call—sure enough, Ning Jie was on the line. She readily agreed to meet at a bank as well. Less than a minute later, Lu Hui hung up, looking at his girlfriend who had an expectant look on her face: "Su Qin, let’s go downstairs; they’ve already arrived."

The two quickly went out and headed down the stairs to the China Construction Bank less than one kilometer away from their rental apartment. There, they spotted Ning Jie.

There was no way around it—Ning Jie’s beauty stood out like a crane among chickens in this place. In that moment, Su Qin couldn’t help but feel inferior to her. Even Lu Hui, who always thought his girlfriend was the most beautiful, had to admit that Ning Jie looked more than a few notches up on his girlfriend.

"Is that her" Su Qin couldn't help but ask.

"I'm not sure, but the man next to her seems to be the guy who borrowed money from me," Lu Hui said when he spotted Xia Tian and then turned to Su Qin.

"My stingy husband was the one who borrowed money from me." At this moment, Xia Tian also saw Lu Hui and Su Qin. He pointed at Lu Hui.

Ning Jie nodded and then pulled Xia Tian towards Lu Hui and Su Qin.

"Mr. Lu, I'm Ning Jie who just called you. Here is a bag with 100,000 yuan in it. Please take good care of it," said Ning Jie when she approached Lu Hui and handed the bag containing cash to him.

Lu Hui hesitated slightly and didn't immediately accept it until Su Qin nudged him. He then gritted his teeth, opened the bag, and found that it was indeed filled with cash. Although he hadn’t counted them, a rough estimate suggested there were 100,000 yuan.

"Mr. Lu, please count it if you don't mind. We'll leave once everything is confirmed," Ning Jie said again.

"No problem at all, definitely no problem." Lu Hui hurriedly replied; he naturally didn’t want to actually count the money since he had only borrowed ten yuan from them and wouldn’t be so shameless as to demand more if there wasn't 100,000 yuan here.

"Since that's the case, let us take our leave then." Ning Jie didn't want to stay for too long and turned around to leave after saying this.

"Miss Ning, wait a moment," Su Qin hurriedly called out.

"Is there anything else" Ning Jie asked as she turned back.

"Miss Ning, it's almost lunchtime. Why don't we have lunch together We will treat you; otherwise, we would feel quite embarrassed." Su Qin quickly said. In her heart, she was also scheming, thinking that this Miss Ning must be someone important, at least a wealthy woman. She and Lu Hui had no connections here, so it was rare to meet such a person. Getting acquainted might help in the future if they could seek assistance from this wealthy woman.

"Yes, let's have lunch together," Lu Hui also extended an invitation at this moment. He genuinely felt awkward.

Ning Jie turned to look at Xia Tian: "Husband, what do you think"

After some thought, Xia Tian agreed, saying, "Sure, let's go for lunch then. My stomach is a bit hungry anyway." Although it was not yet eleven o'clock, having lunch wasn't an issue either. The reason he felt hungry was simply because he hadn't had breakfast.

"Then, Miss Ning, I'll go in to deposit the money first and come out shortly," Lu Hui said somewhat awkwardly." Gu Hanfeng remained calm: "Young Master Zhao, I believe this is fair; what about you"“You’re right, I think it’s quite fair!” Zhao Xiaozhuo gritted his teeth. “Since I’m not your match, I’ll accept...
