Chapter 729: The Height of Shamelessness

True to his nature as someone who could abandon the orphanage that raised him, Li Jian quickly recovered from his brief moment of awkwardness. He forced a dry laugh and said, "You know how hard it is to make it on your own these days. I've been busy all these years, and only now have I managed to achieve something. That's why I'm here—I want to discuss investing in our orphanage, maybe help with some renovations or something."

Li Ningxue pursed her lips, staying silent, but inwardly she was scoffing. The orphanage was now backed by the Autumn Wind Group. What did his so-called "investment" matter?

Still, she didn't object outright. After all, he had been raised by the orphanage, and it was only fair for him to contribute something. She saw no reason to oppose it.

Seeing that his words hadn't impressed Li Ningxue, Li Jian gritted his teeth and made a more substantial offer.
