Dinner

Xia Tian finally found Isabella's phone number, but when he called it, he found that the number was no longer in service. Obviously, Isabella had changed her number again. As for Avril, Xia Tian had no idea where she was. As a result, he could not contact the Shadow Group for the time being, and naturally did not know whether the Shadow Group had stopped hunting down Qiao Xiaoqiao.

However, Xia Tian didn't have the energy to care about this now. He had to go and comfort the angry Liu Meng first.

"Sister Meng!"

"I'm singing, I'm ignoring you!"

"Sister Meng, let me listen to you sing."

"You're a bad guy, I won't sing for you!"

"Sister Meng, can I go out and play with you?"

"No, I'd rather play with Little Tiger. Little Tiger is the best. He plays with me whenever I ask him to, unlike that little bad guy who always goes back on his word!"

…

This time, Liu Meng was angry for a longer time, a full ten minutes. Then, on the condition that Xia Tian promised to stay with her from today to tomorrow, she happily pulled Xia Tian downstairs, and the two of them went together to torture poor Xiaohu.

The poor little tiger was tortured by these two guys for an entire afternoon. It was not until around six o'clock in the evening that someone finally came to rescue it. If the little tiger could speak, it would definitely kneel down to thank the goddess, Qiao Xiaoqiao, who saved it.

"Husband, Sister Meng." Hearing Qiao Xiaoqiao's voice, Xia Tian and Liu Meng temporarily stopped torturing Xiaohu and ran to the fence.

"Xiao Qiao, why are you here? Do you want to play with Xiaohu too?" Seeing Qiao Xiaoqiao, Liu Meng looked a little strange.

"Sister Meng, I'm going to attend a charity dinner later. Do you want to go?" Qiao Xiaoqiao smiled sweetly. She certainly didn't want to play with the tiger. She didn't have the ability nor the interest to do so.

Liu Meng blinked: "Are you going to take the little rascal with you?"

Although Liu Meng has the mentality of a child, it doesn't mean that she is stupid. She immediately thought that Qiao Xiaoqiao actually wanted Xia Tian to go with her.

"Yes, Sister Meng, my brother said that there will be a lot of people at the charity gala, and there are no special security measures, so I'm a little worried." Qiao Xiaoqiao nodded. In fact, it was not just a matter of security measures. The main reason was that Qiao Donghai had just used some tricks on Fang Ying's mother, and he was a little worried that the other party would do something desperate. So before getting any news from the Shadow Group, Qiao Donghai still hoped that Xia Tian would be with Qiao Xiaoqiao.

"Oh, the little rascal promised to stay with me from tonight to tomorrow. If he wants to go, then I will go too!" Liu Meng said in a soft voice.

Before leaving, Liu Meng said hello to Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, I'll play with you next time. We're leaving now!"

The poor little tiger looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao with tearful eyes and watched its goddess leave. At the same time, it prayed in its heart, hoping that the goddess would appear more often in the future so that it would not have to be tortured by that witch.

The location of the charity dinner was not unfamiliar to Xia, as it was the place where he had wonderful memories, the Hyatt Hotel.

The second floor of the Hyatt Hotel is a special banquet hall, and tonight's charity dinner will be held here. Both the venue for the dinner and the various dishes and drinks for the dinner are sponsored free of charge by the Hyatt Hotel. The reason for this is simply because the organizer of tonight's charity dinner is Shao Zhixiong.

Shao Zhixiong is a very famous philanthropist in China. Shao Zhixiong, who is in his fifties, has a quite legendary experience.

Thirty years ago, Shao Zhixiong was just an ordinary village teacher. The place where he taught was very poor and many children could not afford to go to school. So he used up all his pitiful salary to try to ensure that every child could go to school. But soon, he found that the little money he had was not enough to solve the problem.

After some consideration, he quit his teaching job and came to Jianghai City to start his own business. He had a very good business mind and in that era when the country was just beginning to open up, he quickly made a lot of money, and he finally fulfilled his wish to let every child in that mountain village go to school.

In the following twenty years, he expanded his business while expanding the scope of his funding for poor children in mountain villages. However, he gradually found that no matter how much money he made, it was still far from enough compared to the countless poor children across the country. So, ten years ago, he handed over his business to others, established the Shao Zhixiong Charity Foundation, and began to do charity wholeheartedly.

In recent years, the Shao Zhixiong Charity Foundation has developed rapidly, and Shao Zhixiong has also expanded from simply funding out-of-school children in the beginning to the entire education cause, and then expanded to other fields. However, education has always been the most important area of ​​his charity foundation.

Shao Zhixiong holds a charity dinner in Jianghai City every year, and the time is basically the same, which is today, September 10th, Teacher's Day.

Unlike many charity dinners that hold auctions, this charity dinner will not have an auction process. It is just a dinner. Of course, the most important thing is fundraising, which is obviously indispensable.

The guests invited to the dinner are basically celebrities and wealthy people. As the most famous talented girl in Jianghai City, it is not surprising that Qiao Xiaoqiao was invited. In fact, this is not the first time that Qiao Xiaoqiao has attended Shao Zhixiong's charity dinner, and each time, she donated a lot of money, at least over one million.

Of course, it wasn’t just Qiao Xiaoqiao who received the invitation from the Qiao family. Qiao Donghai also received an invitation. However, he did not go with Qiao Xiaoqiao, but went separately.

Although the formal charity dinner does not start until eight o'clock, it is only seven o'clock now and many people have gathered in the banquet hall on the second floor of the Hyatt Hotel. Shao Zhixiong has a very good relationship with the business community in Jianghai City, and many people will give him face. Although those who received the invitation know that they have to pay some money tonight, they are basically happy to attend.

As the host of the dinner, Shao Zhixiong naturally showed up early. Shao Zhixiong actually looks quite ordinary, speaks in a friendly manner, and has a smile on his face to everyone, which makes it easy for people to like him. Now, Shao Zhixiong and his wife Liu Xiaoyun are greeting each person who comes to the dinner and having a brief exchange of words with them.

At this time, another man and woman appeared at the door of the banquet hall. Shao Zhixiong hurriedly took his wife's arm and walked over. The man had an ordinary appearance, but the girl was only about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was very pretty and cute, and dressed like a little princess, which was quite eye-catching.

"Beibei, you're here." Shao Zhixiong greeted the girl enthusiastically, then turned to the man, but was a little stunned for a moment, "Hey, you are..."

"Puchi!" The girl laughed softly, "Uncle Shao, don't you recognize my elder brother?"
