Chapter 175: Set a Small Goal, Donate a Hundred Million First

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

Boss Cutie

Jiang Muye was utterly confused.

He didn't want to have any excessive involvement with Xia Xiran at all, yet at some point, Xia Xiran had begun to frequently intrude into his life.

Just as he had blocked her number and was feeling conflicted, the school principal appeared.

Beside him stood an unfamiliar face, a middle-aged man with a comb-over.

The principal began to address everyone, "This is the Director of Project Hope. He's come specifically to thank a student who donated five hundred thousand yuan yesterday. We'll take this opportunity to give proper recognition."

As soon as he said this, an uproar broke out.

Everyone here were university students, none of them had jobs.

How many people could casually give five hundred thousand? You could count them on one hand.

After all, everyone was an ordinary student without that kind of money. Having enough living expenses to get by was already good enough—how could anyone possibly donate five hundred thousand in one go?

Everyone looked at each other, glancing around to see who had the ability to donate so much.

Jiang Muye also looked around curiously.

At that moment, the principal's impassioned voice rang out from the stage, "Student Jiang Muye from the Design Department, second-year Class 2. Thank you for your contribution to Project Hope. Please come up to receive your award and say a few words."

Jiang Muye's heart skipped a beat.

He could feel eyes converging on him from all directions.

All around were sounds of admiration.

"It's actually Bro Mu! Bro Mu is awesome, he's really rich!"

"You said it, he's handsome and has a heart of gold. As expected of my idol."

"Five hundred thousand! That's over thirty years of my pocket money. I don't even know if I can earn that much in my life, and he just donated it."

"Where's he from? How'd he suddenly get so rich? Is he leaning on the Cold Campus Belle as his Rich Woman?"

Jiang Muye's brows knitted tightly. He turned to Leng Ruoli beside him and asked, "Did you donate it for me?"

"No." Leng Ruoli shook her head, equally puzzled. "Wasn't it you who donated?"

"No." Jiang Muye denied it solemnly.

Suddenly, he remembered, and immediately looked toward Xia Xiran.

Xia Xiran was watching him, and gave him a soft smile.

Jiang Muye recalled the content of Xia Xiran's messages, and it suddenly all became clear.

Could this money have been donated by Xia Xiran?

As Jiang Muye was doubting, Xia Xiran nodded at him and gently called out, "Go on up."

This further confirmed Jiang Muye's suspicion.

It really was Xia Xiran who had done it.

His expression grew even more serious, and he found it quite absurd. He never imagined Xia Xiran could do something so outrageous.

Seeing Jiang Muye stand up and head toward the stage, Xia Xiran's lips curved up with amusement.

Xia Xiran came from a scholarly family, and her family circumstances weren't bad. Her parents gave her plenty of pocket money, and on top of that, she had earned quite a bit in prize money from participating in various competitions of all sizes, plus scholarships. She had long since saved over a million yuan.

Xia Xiran's purpose in donating was simply to make Jiang Muye owe her a favor. She had helped him gain honor, so he would definitely remember her.

They could reconnect with each other, and this would serve as a medium for them to interact, without their relationship being as stiff as before.

Most importantly, Jiang Muye might develop feelings for her again.

He knew she had put in effort behind the scenes for him, and he would definitely be moved.

Jiang Muye had already walked onto the stage, the center of attention.

Down below, Jiang Xueli was a complete fangirl. She proudly pointed at Jiang Muye on stage and said to the other students, "Look, that's my brother~ Super handsome!"

This little sister was increasingly satisfied with her brother, thinking Jiang Muye was good in every way.

Jiang Muye walked forward, which made the principal beam with pride.

After all, this was a tremendous honor—nothing this sensational had ever happened at the school before.

The principal handed the microphone to Jiang Muye. When the Director was about to hand him the certificate, Jiang Muye didn't take it. Instead, he spoke into the microphone, saying something that shocked everyone present.

"I can't accept this certificate."

Everyone stared at Jiang Muye in astonishment.

Even Little White Dove was incredulous. "Has Muzi gone crazy? Is he publicly tearing them down?"

Old He crossed his arms and said, "He's never walked the conventional path anyway. But what's he planning to do today?"

Even Kai was utterly confused.

Yet facing everyone's astonishment, Jiang Muye was calm and composed.

He continued, "I don't deserve it, because this donation wasn't made by me."

Once again, everyone was stunned.

Even the Director was dumbfounded. "It wasn't you? Then who was it?"

Jiang Muye explained, "It was student Xia Xiran who donated on my behalf. She did a good deed without seeking recognition and just used my name. The person you should be honoring is Xia Xiran."

Jiang Muye's words made all eyes in the room turn toward Xia Xiran.

Quite a few people wore knowing grins.

After all, everyone had heard about the romantic gossip between Campus Belle Xia and Jiang Muye. Back then, Jiang Muye had been a simp who proposed to Campus Belle Xia 99 times, but she had been unmoved.

But later, Xia Xiran fell hopelessly in love with Jiang Muye, actively pursuing him. Even after Jiang Muye started dating, she remained deeply devoted to him.

Everyone knew very well that Xia Xiran wasn't doing a good deed without seeking recognition—she was just silently making sacrifices for Jiang Muye behind the scenes.

Many of the guys were now even more envious of Jiang Muye.

Why bother? There were so many guys in the world, so why were these campus belles all infatuated with Jiang Muye?

All Four Great Campus Belles had been conquered by Jiang Muye, all of them devoted to him alone. Even after Jiang Muye got into a relationship, those who were obsessed remained obsessed.

In the end, Xia Xiran was forced to go up on stage at the principal's invitation.

She had originally wanted Jiang Muye to owe her a favor, but Jiang Muye had exposed her directly, throwing all her plans into disarray.

Xia Xiran walked onto the stage and stood beside Jiang Muye. She could only admit it herself, "Yes, this time I donated five hundred thousand yuan under student Jiang Muye's name."

After the Director and principal understood, they thanked and praised Xia Xiran, completely ignoring Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye became nothing but a backdrop on stage.

After all, for the two of them, Jiang Muye hadn't played any role, and praising him had no benefit.

However, once Jiang Muye's loud voice rang out, it immediately grabbed the attention of the principal and the Director, snatching it right back.

"Although someone donated on my behalf this time, I've learned about this channel, and I plan to contribute my own share." Jiang Muye paused. "I'm donating one hundred million."

As soon as he said this, everyone gasped.

Jiang Muye was way too arrogant—donating one hundred million? Was he joking?

"Is Bro Mu bragging?"

"Right, one hundred million isn't like donating a hundred. Can he even afford it?"

"One hundred million really is too much. I've never seen that much money in my life. Is Jiang Muye giving it, or is the Cold Campus Belle giving it for him?"
