Chapter 308: Charity of the Wealthy
“Father, please help me look at this. Is this real? Did Academician Sima really mention me in his article? I’m not dreaming, am I?”
Ma Xiaoyi circled around Ma Tianhao, dancing with excitement and gesticulating wildly.
Ma Tianhao cast an envious glance at his son and snorted, “This article isn’t that impressive. Any discerning person can see that I was the one who really donated the money. What money does this brat have?”
Ma Xiaoyi immediately snatched the newspaper from Ma Tianhao’s hands. “Father, don’t forget that I and my brothers also donated twenty thousand strings—that was money we earned from our gambling house operations. I won’t talk with Father anymore. I’m going out to show off.”
With that, he hurried out.
Ma Tianhao clicked his tongue and said regretfully, “If I had known this would happen, I would have gone myself. I really let that brat take advantage of a great opportunity for nothing. But who could have predicted that Academician Sima would write an article about it?”
Just then, the house steward entered the room. “Master Lu has arrived.”
At White Crystal Inn.
“Young Master, your luck has been really good lately. Over there you got promoted to Deputy Commissioner, and here Academician Sima personally wrote an article praising you. Oh my, I’m truly envious to death.”
