Chapter 498: Situ Xuan!

The entire venue of Huaqing University had transformed into a small-scale charity gala for the wealthy—an event befitting the extravagant sons of Beijing’s elite. To them, money was nothing more than a mere symbol.

The top donation had already reached four hundred thousand, which left Xiao Yufan somewhat stunned. Had these people gone mad? This wasn’t how money was supposed to be spent—though, he admitted, winning a beauty’s favor could justify such extravagance.

The entire venue of Huaqing University had transformed into a small-scale charity gala for the wealthy. Truly, the young elites of the capital treated money as nothing more than a symbol. The top donation had already reached 400,000 yuan, leaving Xiao Yufan somewhat stunned. Were these people out of their minds? Money shouldn’t be spent like this, though it was understandable if it was to win a beauty’s smile.

“Giggle, hubby, I want to donate too. Charity is everyone’s responsibility!”

Infected by the lively atmosphere, Lan Yue’s fair face had flushed slightly, her lips curling into a charming smile. Fortunately, most people’s attention was focused on the stage, or else they would have been utterly captivated.

“How much do you want to donate? Our little Yue is quite the heiress, but it seems like only men are donating!”

Her alluring demeanor stirred Xiao Yufan’s desires. His hand stealthily rested on her soft waist, then gradually climbed upward, finally settling on the sacred peak that could drive any man wild…

“Let’s just go with 400,000 yuan. It’s not like hubby is short on money, right?”

Lan Yue shot Xiao Yufan a playful glare, only struggling slightly before allowing him to hold that intimate spot. Her face was so flushed it seemed like it might drip with color.

Xiao Yufan shook his head helplessly. He didn’t care about the money, but this girl was clearly trying to steal the spotlight. Wouldn’t that make him the center of attention again? He had no desire to become public enemy number one once more.

Dragged by Lan Yue to the front, Xiao Yufan was now just a few meters away from Huangpu Xian’er on the stage. He could feel the fluctuations in her aura, and the sense of awe she inspired grew even stronger.

As if by chance, Huangpu Xian’er’s beautiful eyes met Xiao Yufan’s gaze. Her smile, capable of captivating any man, seemed almost divine, leaving Xiao Yufan momentarily dazed.

“I’ll donate 400,000 yuan…”

Lan Yue’s voice rang out, audible only to the two recorders and Xiao Yufan, as the noise in the venue was enough to drown out any sound.

“Name!” The two recorders, though numb from the constant donations, still looked up in surprise at the mention of 400,000 yuan. When they saw Lan Yue’s stunning face, their hands paused for a moment. They were no strangers to her, but they couldn’t understand why such a goddess would donate such a large sum.

However, they quickly recorded the donation. Surprised as they were, they still had work to do. Soon, Lan Yue’s name appeared on the big screen, jumping straight to second place.

“Look, look! Our goddess has made her move—400,000 yuan! I’m bowing down, that’s so bold!”

“Goddess, are you even letting us live? You’re not interested in Huangpu Xian’er’s hug, are you? Why not leave some opportunities for us?”

Wails of despair echoed throughout the venue. Seeing Lan Yue’s name, their jaws nearly dropped to the floor, especially the person who had just been bumped down the list—they were on the verge of a breakdown…

“Alright, let’s go then.”

Faced with this situation, Xiao Yufan could only smile and shake his head. This girl had certainly made a splash, and in many people’s eyes, he had likely become a kept man. But Xiao Yufan didn’t mind.

“Hubby, aren’t you going to donate?” Lan Yue’s lively eyes blinked gently, her gaze curving into a crescent moon as she waited for her husband’s response, her expression filled with anticipation.

“How much does our little Yue want me to donate?”

Xiao Yufan hadn’t planned to participate, but since his woman had spoken, he naturally had to make a gesture. However, he had no idea how much she wanted him to contribute.

Just as his words fell, the venue erupted once again. On the big screen, a name—Situ Xuan—suddenly appeared in first place, with the amount skyrocketing to 800,000 yuan!

The entire crowd was in an uproar. Doubling the amount to 800,000 yuan was thrilling, but when Xiao Yufan saw the name, his pupils constricted sharply…

Situ Xuan! A member of the Situ family?

But why had Xiao Yufan never heard of him? Aside from the two branches of the Situ family in the north and south, were there other members?

Waves of unease rippled through Xiao Yufan’s heart, but he couldn’t find any answers. Yet, his intuition told him that his grandfather must be hiding something from him.

“Hubby, let’s crush this guy!”

Lan Yue was equally puzzled. Could there really be so many people with the surname Situ? Was this just a coincidence? But she could sense the change in Xiao Yufan’s mood.

“Alright, let’s play with him. 800,000 yuan doesn’t quite match my status. Let’s make it a million.”

As the two recorders stared in shock, Xiao Yufan spoke leisurely, as if discussing something trivial. A million yuan was a fortune in the eyes of ordinary people.

“Brother, are you sure?”

One of them swallowed hard, cautiously asking, afraid of angering this big spender. With Lan Yue by his side, they didn’t doubt his sincerity.

“Just record it!” Before Xiao Yufan could respond, Lan Yue had already taken over, speaking with a cheerful smile. Now, she no longer resembled the icy goddess but rather a playful little woman.

Then, Xiao Yufan’s name appeared on the big screen. The crowd, still reeling from the previous donations, was now completely numb. It was clear they had no chance of getting close to the goddess, but they were curious to see who the final lucky winner would be.

“No way! That guy was playing the fool? A million yuan? Even if I sold myself, I wouldn’t be worth that much!”

This time, the venue fell into an eerie silence. Some people, upon seeing Xiao Yufan’s figure, instantly understood something. Their eyes burned with rage—how could he monopolize one goddess while eyeing another?

Their anger was inevitable. Many who had remained neutral now turned against Xiao Yufan, standing firmly in opposition.

When Xiao Yufan’s name claimed the top spot, Huangpu Xian’er’s alluring lips curled into a faint, almost imperceptible smile, though no one could guess what she was thinking.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the venue, a young man with a gloomy expression stared at Xiao Yufan’s name, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. If Xiao Yufan had felt that gaze, he would have known it was filled with murderous intent.

“A banished branch of the Situ family—what gives you the right to act so arrogantly in front of me? Soon, I’ll strip you of all your pride, leaving you with nothing!”

Situ Xuan’s lips curled into a disdainful smirk, the chilling aura around him sending shivers through those nearby. They knew this man was truly enraged…

Infected by the lively atmosphere, Lan Yue’s fair complexion had flushed slightly, her lips curving into a charming smile, carrying a hint of enchanting allure. Fortunately, most eyes were fixed on the stage, or else she would surely have drawn everyone’s attention.

“So how much do you want to donate, my dear little rich girl? Seems like only the guys are donating so far!”

Xiao Yufan’s fingers twitched in excitement. His hand quietly slid onto her soft waist and slowly moved upward, eventually resting on the peak that could drive any man wild…

“Let’s just go with 400,000. It’s not like you’re short on money, right?”

With a playful glare at Xiao Yufan, Lan Yue only struggled slightly before allowing him to hold that intimate spot, her face reddening to the point of almost dripping.

Xiao Yufan shook his head helplessly. He didn’t care about the money, but this girl was clearly trying to steal the spotlight. Wouldn’t that make him the center of attention again? He had no desire to become a public enemy once more.

Pulled by Lan Yue to the front, Xiao Yufan was now just a few meters away from Huangpu Xian’er on the stage. He could feel her aura more distinctly, and the sense of awe she inspired grew stronger.

As if by chance, Huangpu Xian’er’s captivating eyes met Xiao Yufan’s gaze. Her smile, enough to mesmerize any man, left him momentarily dazed.

“I’ll donate 400,000…”

Lan Yue’s voice rang out, audible only to the two recorders and Xiao Yufan, as the noise in the venue was enough to drown out any sound.

“Name!” The two recorders, though numb to the amounts, still looked up at the mention of 400,000. Seeing Lan Yue’s stunning face, they paused briefly. They were no strangers to her, but couldn’t fathom why such a goddess would donate such a sum.

However, they quickly recorded it. Surprised as they were, they still had a job to do. Soon, Lan Yue’s name appeared on the big screen, jumping straight to second place.

“Hubby, aren’t you going to donate?” Lan Yue’s lively eyes blinked, curving into a crescent moon as she awaited his response, her expression filled with anticipation.

“How much does our Lan Yue want me to donate?”

Xiao Yufan hadn’t planned to participate, but since his woman had spoken, he naturally had to show some support. Though he had no idea how much she expected him to give.

Just as his words fell, the venue erupted again. On the big screen, a name—Situ Xuan—suddenly appeared in first place, with the amount skyrocketing to 800,000!

“Hubby, let’s crush this guy!”

Lan Yue was equally puzzled. Were there really so many people with the surname Situ? Was this just a coincidence? But she could sense the shift in Xiao Yufan’s mood.

“Sure, let’s play with him. 800,000 doesn’t quite match my status, so let’s make it a million.”

As the two recorders stared in shock, Xiao Yufan spoke leisurely, as if discussing something trivial. A million yuan was a fortune in the eyes of ordinary people.

“No way! That guy’s been playing the fool? A million? Even if I sold myself, I wouldn’t be worth that much!”

The venue grew quieter. Some, upon seeing Xiao Yufan, instantly understood. Their eyes burned with envy—how could he monopolize one goddess while eyeing another?

Their anger was inevitable. Many who had been neutral now turned against Xiao Yufan, standing firmly in opposition.

When Xiao Yufan’s name claimed the top spot, Huangpu Xian’er’s alluring lips curved into a faint, enigmatic smile, her thoughts unknown.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the venue, a young man with a grim expression stared at Xiao Yufan’s name, a cold glint in his eyes. If Xiao Yufan had sensed that gaze, he would have known it was filled with murderous intent…

“A disgraced branch of the Situ family—what gives you the right to act so arrogantly in front of me? Soon, I’ll strip you of all your pride, leaving you with nothing!”

Situ Xuan’s lips curled into a disdainful smirk, the chill in his smile sending shivers through those around him. They knew this man was now truly enraged…

Lan Yue gave him a coquettish glare, feigning resistance for a moment before allowing the man to keep his hand on that sensitive area. Her face was blushing so deeply it seemed ready to drip with moisture.

Xiao Yufan helplessly shook his head. It wasn’t the money that bothered him—it was that this girl clearly wanted to steal the spotlight. This meant he would once again become the center of attention, and he really didn’t want to become everyone’s enemy again.

Pulled by Lan Yue to the front, Xiao Yufan found himself only a few meters away from Huangpu Xian’er on the stage. He could now distinctly sense the woman’s aura, and the feeling of admiration grew stronger.

As if by accident, Huangpu Xian’er’s beautiful eyes met Xiao Yufan’s gaze. Her smile, capable of captivating any man, seemed almost divine, momentarily leaving Xiao Yufan spellbound.

“I’d like to donate four hundred thousand…”

Lan Yue’s voice rang out, though only the two record keepers and Xiao Yufan could hear her amidst the overwhelming noise of the venue.

“Name!” The two record keepers, already numb from the constant stream of donations, still lifted their heads upon hearing the amount. Seeing her breathtaking beauty, their hands hesitated slightly. They were quite familiar with Lan Yue, but couldn’t understand why such a goddess would donate so much.

Nonetheless, they quickly jotted it down. Amazement aside, they still had work to do. Soon, Lan Yue’s name appeared on the big screen, jumping directly to second place.

“Quick, look! Our campus goddess has made a move—four hundred thousand! I’m bowing down, so impressive!”

“Goddess, are you trying to make us feel inferior? You probably aren’t interested in hugging Huangpu Xian’er, so why not leave a chance for us!”

Groans of despair echoed throughout the venue. Seeing Lan Yue’s name, many nearly dropped their jaws in shock, especially the person who had just been pushed down the rankings—he was on the verge of collapse…

“Alright then, let’s go!”

Faced with this situation, Xiao Yufan could only shake his head with a smile. This girl had certainly stolen the spotlight, and he was probably now labeled as a gold-digger in many people’s eyes. But Xiao Yufan didn’t mind.

The venue at Huaqing University had transformed into a miniature high-society charity gala, a testament to the extravagant youth of the capital, for whom money was merely a symbol.

The top donation had already reached four hundred thousand, leaving Xiao Yufan somewhat stunned. Were these people insane? Money shouldn’t be spent like this, though it was understandable if it was to win a smile from a beauty.

“Giggle, hubby, I want to donate too. Charity is everyone’s responsibility!”

Influenced by the lively atmosphere, Lan Yue’s fair face flushed slightly, her lips curling into a charming smile. Fortunately, most eyes were on the podium, or else she would have surely captivated everyone.

Xiao Yufan shook his head helplessly. He didn’t mind the money, but this girl was clearly trying to steal the spotlight, which would inevitably make him the center of attention again. He had no desire to become a public enemy once more.

Pulled by Lan Yue to the front, Xiao Yufan was now just a few meters away from Huangpu Xian’er on the podium. He could feel her aura more intensely, and the sense of awe grew stronger.

As if by chance, Huangpu Xian’er’s beautiful eyes met Xiao Yufan’s gaze. Her smile, capable of enchanting any man, left Xiao Yufan momentarily dazed.

“I want to donate four hundred thousand…”

Lan Yue’s voice was only audible to the two recorders and Xiao Yufan, as the noise in the venue was enough to drown out any sound.

“How much does our Yue’er want me to donate?”

Xiao Yufan hadn’t planned to participate, but since his woman had spoken, he naturally had to show some support. However, he had no idea how much she wanted him to donate.

As soon as he finished speaking, the venue erupted again. On the big screen, a name called Situ Xuan suddenly appeared in the first position, with the amount skyrocketing to eight hundred thousand!

The crowd was in an uproar. Doubling the amount to eight hundred thousand was thrilling, but only Xiao Yufan’s pupils contracted sharply upon seeing the name…

Situ Xuan! A member of the Situ family?

But why had Xiao Yufan never heard of him? Apart from the two branches of the Situ family in the north and south, were there other Situ family members?

Waves of unease rippled through Xiao Yufan’s heart, but he had no answers. His intuition told him that his grandfather must be hiding something from him!

“Hubby, let’s crush this guy!”

Lan Yue was equally puzzled. Were there really so many people with the surname Situ? Was this just a coincidence? But she could sense the change in Xiao Yufan’s mood.

“Alright, let’s play with him. Eight hundred thousand doesn’t quite match my status. Let’s make it a million!”

As the two recorders stared in shock, Xiao Yufan spoke leisurely, as if discussing something trivial. A million was a fortune in the eyes of ordinary people.

“Brother, are you sure?”

One of them swallowed hard, cautiously asking, afraid to offend this big spender. With Lan Yue by his side, they didn’t doubt his sincerity.

“No way, that guy was playing the fool! A million? Even if I sold myself, I wouldn’t be worth that much!”

The venue fell into a rare silence. Some, upon seeing Xiao Yufan’s figure, instantly understood something. Their eyes burned with anger. Occupying one goddess, yet eyeing another!

How could they not be furious? Many who had been neutral now turned against Xiao Yufan, standing firmly in opposition…

As Xiao Yufan’s name took the top spot, Huangpu Xian’er’s alluring lips curved into a faint, enigmatic smile, her thoughts unknown.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the venue, a young man with a gloomy expression stared at Xiao Yufan’s name, a cold glint in his eyes. If Xiao Yufan had felt that gaze, he would have known it was filled with murderous intent…

“A banished branch of the Situ family, where do you get the audacity to act so arrogantly in front of me? Soon, I’ll strip you of all your pride, leaving you with nothing!”

Situ Xuan’s lips curled into a disdainful smile, the coldness in his expression sending a chill through those around him. They knew this man was now truly enraged…

“So, how much does my dear little Yue want me to donate…”

Xiao Yufan originally had no intention of joining in, but since his woman had spoken, he naturally wanted to show some support. However, he had no idea just how much this little vixen intended to make him spend.

Just as he finished speaking, the venue erupted once again. On the big screen, a name—Situ Xuan—suddenly appeared at the top, with the amount skyrocketing to eight hundred thousand!

The entire venue exploded with excitement. Doubling the previous amount to eight hundred thousand was thrilling enough, but only Xiao Yufan’s pupils constricted sharply upon seeing that name…

Situ Xuan! Could he be from the Situ family?

Yet Xiao Yufan had never heard of any Situ family members other than the northern and southern branches. Could there really be more?

A wave of unease surged within Xiao Yufan, but he found no answers. Yet instinct told him—his grandfather must be hiding something from him!

“Honey, let’s beat this person!”

Lan Yue also looked surprised. Could there really be so many people with the double surname Situ? Was this just a coincidence? Yet she could sense the shift in Xiao Yufan’s mood.

“Alright then, let’s play along with him. Eight hundred thousand doesn’t really suit my status, does it? How about one million?”

Xiao Yufan said slowly, as if discussing something trivial, while the two registration clerks stared at him in shock. To ordinary people, one million was already a huge sum.

“Sir, are you sure about this?!”

One of them swallowed hard and cautiously asked, afraid of offending this wealthy donor. Seeing Lan Yue by his side, they didn’t even consider the possibility that he might be bluffing.

“Just record it first!” Before Xiao Yufan could speak, Lan Yue eagerly answered with a cheerful smile. At this moment, where was the icy goddess? She was just like a sweet little wife.

Soon, Xiao Yufan’s name appeared on the big screen. The crowd, still in shock, had already become numb. It was clear now—there was no chance for anyone to approach the goddess anymore. But now, everyone wanted to know who the final lucky man would be.

“No way! That guy was hiding his strength all along—one million! Even if I sold myself, I probably wouldn’t be worth that much!”

This time, the venue fell into an unusual silence. Some people, upon seeing Xiao Yufan, immediately understood something. Their eyes burned with fury. He already had a goddess by his side, and now he was eyeing another!

How could they not be angry? Many who had previously remained neutral now turned against Xiao Yufan entirely…

As Xiao Yufan’s name rose to the top of the leaderboard, Huangpu Xian’er’s seductive lips curled into a subtle, barely noticeable smile, her thoughts unknown.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the venue, a young man with a gloomy expression stared at Xiao Yufan’s name on the screen. A glint of coldness flickered in his eyes. If Xiao Yufan had sensed that gaze, he would have known—it was filled with murderous intent…

“A branch member exiled by the Situ family—where did you get the audacity to challenge me? Soon, I’ll turn every source of your pride into nothingness!”

Situ Xuan’s lips curled into a contemptuous smirk. The chilling malice in his smile sent a shiver down the spines of those around him. They knew—this time, the man was truly enraged…
