Chapter 680 - Foundation
Chapter 680: Foundation
A grown man could actually let himself to be dressed in a weird manner to play Dolly with Rainy and play house. It was no wonder Rainy would like Du Jingtang so much.
However, when they were about to dig in, there was a knock on the door.
“Uncle will open the door.” Du Jingtang pinched Rainy’s cheeks before standing up to open the door. Once the door opened, there was a gush of cold air that made him shudder, and the smile on his face froze.
“Brother… cousin, why are you here?”
“If you can come, why can’t I?” Chu Lui squinted his eyes dangerously and was exuding a vibe that could hurt people, which made Du Jingtang flinch. Do not look at him like that; he had not done anything.
Chu Lui walked in and was carrying a bag in his hand. Even though Rainy only liked one dolly, she would play with other soft toys sometimes.
“Rainy, come over.”
Chu Lui waved his hand towards his daughter, and she hurriedly ran over. She placed her hands behind her back and looked intently at Chu Lui before extending her hand. She knew Chu Lui brought her a gift, and children could not resist any presents especially furry soft toys; she could have many of them to play with her dolly.
Chu Lui bent down and took out a toy dog from the bag before placing it in his daughter’s hands. Rainy hugged it immediately.
“Thank you, Uncle!” said Rainy sweetly as she ran to find her mother with the dog.
“Mommy, Uncle gave me a small doggy.” Rainy raised the dog over her head. Her rosy red cheeks made her look so healthy, which made Xia Ruoxin unable to believe—until this date—that this beautiful child almost lost her life before.
Beautiful.
Naturally, she did not want to spoil her daughter’s mood so no matter who gave her the toy, it was fine as long as she liked it.
It was supposed to be three people, but now there was an extra person all of a sudden. Chu Lui was okay, but Du Jingtang felt as if he was sitting in an uncomfortable position. There was a cactus underneath his butt poking him to death.
“Jingtang, can I ask? How did that department come about?” Xia Ruoxin asked Du Jingtang again.
“This…” Du Jingtang could not answer her.
“I forgot.” So he decided to play dumb and act as if he did not know.
“Is it?” Xia Ruoxin started to become suspicious.
“Was it not you?” Chu Lui said lightly. Immediately, Du Jingtang reacted over as he had to be his cousin’s scapegoat.
Oh… he had a look of epiphany on his face. “Just look at this. How could I forget about it?
“Yes, yes. I did think of this. Our company does charity every year so I thought of the children in the welfare society. They always wanted to learn to draw, and they said they wanted to draw the beautiful world out. So I thought it would be good to realize their dreams. This then became our company’s charity event for the year.
“Sister Ruoxin, what do you think? Am I very smart? This idea is pretty neat, right?”
Just look at how fast his brain reacted and had even explained everything in a logical manner. He had also called Xia Ruoxin ‘sister’ in front of his cousin to prove that he and Xia Ruoxin really had nothing going on.
He was not straight.
Was it like that? Xia Ruoxin still did not believe it. However, whether that was the truth or not, there was not much difference as she was already in the department.
She did not know how the meal went for the other people, but Du Jingtang had a difficult time; his cousin’s black face obviously showed that he was going to beat him up.
As expected, Du Jingtang knew that he was dead meat the next day. He had to bring his tanned skin and stand under the sun yet again to do supervisory work. Meanwhile, everything was ready at Xia Ruoxin’s side to start the charity program.
There were quite a few people that came to witness the Chu Enterprise charity event. This event was for children with artistic talents to draw out their own worlds.
At the same time, Chu Lui prepared another foundation—called the Angel Foundation—to save those children with leucocythemia.
When Xia Ruoxin heard the news, her heart was in a mess.
She knew that this illness needed a lot of money to the point where the family would even go bankrupt, especially for women who did not have any working ability like her.
The reason why Chu Lui wanted to set up the foundation was because of Rainy. Rainy’s illness had unknowingly affected Chu Lui to have this thought and had indirectly helped the other children just like Rainy.
Actually, he was not compassionate; he just had experienced it by himself.
Xia Ruoxin stood at the door and looked inside at the Chu Lui standing on stage. He was cool and decisive with a unique gaze. He was more successful than ever, and almost everyone admired him.
He was a monster, but at this point in time, he actually became an angel.
“May I ask, Mr. Chu, why did you decide to set up this Angel Foundation?” A reporter raised his hand to ask Chu Lui.
“Because of my daughter.” Chu Lui stood up straight. Once he thought about the child who had his blood, his lips that were originally in a straight line… curved up.
“My daughter also had this illness. Even though she has recovered, but I’m still scarred by the incident. I hope that more of these kids could receive help in the future, so that they could have another chance to experience life. Their life is fragile and might be really short. However, as long as we reach out to them, their precious life and the family’s warmth could be saved.”
“Mr. Chu, may I ask? Who’s your daughter?” Another reporter vied to ask the question. Everyone knew that Chu Lui had divorced twice, but no one heard that he had a daughter. They knew about his adopted daughter, but that child had always been living under the eyes of the media. Her life was transparent, but there was no talk of her being ill.
Chu Lui suddenly mentioned about his daughter, so perhaps this child or this child’s biological mother was… perhaps the reason for Chu Lui’s divorce with his second wife was because of this child that came out of nowhere.
Chu Lui’s past two marriages had always been under the eye of the public. The ending of the first marriage was known to all, but he and his second wife—Li Manni, they were a model couple and were the envy of many. However, who would have thought that their marriage had only lasted for four years? In the end, it ended up in smokes; and yet no one knew the reason for their divorce up till now. Chu Lui’s daughter that came out of nowhere made everyone curious and thirsty to dig up the truth.
