He Zhengbai sent Lu Qi to the lift. "Don't rush. If there's anything you need help with, let me know."

He then kissed Lu Qi on her forehead and watch her enter the lift.

He Zhengbai kept his smile on before the lift doors closed.

The moment the doors snapped shut, He Zhengbai dropped his facade and revealed his scorn.

Did she think that he never realized the changes in her expression when he spoke of his situation at home?

He spoke the truth, exaggerated though it might be.

His family would give less cash to him, but the cash flow won't be stopped.

He just didn't want to spend money on Lu Qi for nothing.

The amount of money involved would be massive if he went the sponsoring route, or else why would it be called "sponsoring"?

He did not think it worth it to spend so much money just to send Lu Qi to New York.
