Chapter 275 White Lotus's tactics failed
Qin Xiang's words hinted very clearly.
Lu Ning's lips curled coldly, and she said directly: "So you mean that I embezzled the funds from the foundation account without authorization?"
"I didn't mean that. I just wanted to remind you that the donations can't be moved around casually, lest it get out and have a bad impact on our Lu family. Don't you agree?"
Qin Xiang showed a harmless expression and quickly waved her hand: "Sister Ningning, if you are angry, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Lu Ning tutted her words. "What do you mean by pretending you didn't say anything? Didn't you already say everything? Are you pretending again?"
"Sister Ningning, I'm doing this for your own good."
Qin Xiang's eyes suddenly turned red. She looked at Mrs. Ji and said, "You were there on the day of the charity sale. You should know how much was raised."
Madam Ji nodded: "Of course I know, but what does this have to do with Lu Ning's capital verification today?"
Qin Xiang didn't expect that Madam Ji would defend Lu Ning so much. She didn't even doubt this bitch at all?
Mo Shiyi looked at Lu Ning and said, "If we verify the capital, it seems the money will be frozen for a few days and can't be moved."
This is also to prevent people with ulterior motives from directly borrowing money to verify capital, and then transferring the money away after applying for a membership card.
Before Lu Ning could answer, Qin Xiang burst into tears: "Sister Ningning, the foundation needs to spend money to organize activities. This money cannot be frozen."
These words seemed to confirm that the money in Lu Ning's card was donations raised for charity.
Mo Shiyi had an idea in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face: "Miss Lu, is there any problem if I freeze it for a few days?"
Lu Ning replied: "No problem."
After all, this money is not charity at all.
This is the money she makes from live streaming and the dividends she gets from the artificial intelligence project.
This project will be listed soon, and she will get even more money then.
Qin Xiang ran over and took her hand: "Sister Ningning, please don't make the same mistake again. Everyone here is an acquaintance. As long as you admit your mistake, no one will laugh at you."
Lu Ning pushed Qin Xiang away and said, "Are you sick? The money in the card isn't charity money. I'm not that greedy."
"Sister Ningning, it's come to this. You shouldn't be so stubborn. Madam Ji and Miss Mo just said they can lend you some money. Why don't you lend me some?"
Qin Xiang's eyes were as red as a rabbit's from crying, and she looked like she understood the bigger picture.
Lu Ning picked up the water next to her and splashed it at the white lotus.
Qin Xiang screamed out loud: "What are you doing? Do you know how expensive my skirt is?"
Lu Ning clapped her hands: "I'm saving you."
"You save me?"
"Yeah, you were talking nonsense just now, as if you were possessed by a demon. Are you more sober now?"
Lu Ning's eyes were filled with mockery. "I'll say this one last time. The money in the card isn't charity money. If you have problems with your ears, go to the hospital and have a look at your brain to see if there's something wrong with it."
Qin Xiang was very angry: "But how could you have 10 million in cash? If it's not embezzled charity funds, what is it?"
"Do I need to explain this to you?"
Lu Ning ignored Qin Xiang.
Mo Shiyi didn't expect Lu Ning to be so strong, especially in front of Aunt Ji. She said calmly, "Okay, since Miss Lu said it wasn't a charity donation, then it probably wasn't. Don't throw mud at me without any evidence."
Qin Xiang really had no evidence. After all, she couldn't see how much money was in the account. But she would be able to investigate clearly when she went to the foundation tomorrow, and she would definitely not let Lu Ning have an easy time.
Seeing that Qin Xiang didn't say anything, Mo Shiyi knew that there was no evidence and that he was really a waste.
Soon, the manager handed the card to Lu Ning: "Ms. Lu, welcome to become a member of the club."
"Thanks."
After Lu Ning took the card, she looked at Mrs. Ji and said, "Thank you for your guarantee."
In order to become a member here, in addition to having status, you also need someone to guarantee you.
It was because of Mrs. Ji's guarantee that she was able to become a member so smoothly.
Mrs. Ji smiled and replied, "What's the big deal? Let's go. I'll show you around."
Mo Shiyi couldn't help but say, "Aunt Ji, I'm afraid you have to return Miss Lu to me first. After all, there is a meeting to be held today."
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I'll go over and listen too."
"I couldn't ask for more."
Mo Shiyi also stepped forward and took Mrs. Ji's arm, talking about the two families as they walked. The two of them had a tacit understanding in their questions and answers.
Lu Ning felt redundant standing next to Mrs. Ji. After all, Mrs. Ji and Mo Shiyi almost became mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Soon, they arrived at a banquet hall.
After Mo Shiyi appeared, someone immediately came over and said, "Didn't you go pick someone up? What took you so long? Who was so generous as to bother Miss Mo to pick them up in person?"
"Miss Lu is here for the first time and she doesn't have any members, so I must take her in."
Mo Shiyi immediately introduced Lu Ning.
The woman who had just spoken looked Lu Ning up and down and said, "I heard that your previous charity sale was pretty shabby."
"Yes, the venue was simply decorated. If you knew it was a charity event, those who didn't would think it was begging."
Qin Xiang quickly said, "Originally, I was arranging that event. Shanshan even gave me a reference to an event Miss Mo had previously planned. But in the end, Sister Ningning said the decorations were too extravagant, so she changed everything."
This time, all the blame was put on Lu Ning.
Lu Ning's expression faded a bit. "I don't think the charity sale venue needs to be decorated with luxury goods. It's such a waste of money."
Mo Shanshan said angrily: "So you mean my sister is always wasting money?"
"Shanshan, what nonsense are you talking about? Miss Lu didn't mean that, and her idea is not wrong."
Mo Shiyi was so angry that her temples hurt. Why was her sister talking so foolishly? Didn't she see Aunt Ji was still there? Saying these things would only drag her down with her!
Mrs. Ji also spoke up for Lu Ning: "I think it's right to be frugal with the charity sale. Instead of spending so much money on a lavish display, it would be better to donate it directly to those in need."
Lu Ning was deeply moved when she heard what Mrs. Ji said.
Mo Shiyi quickly made amends: "Ms. Lu, I was just about to tell you this. Our previous layout was indeed a bit expensive. We will learn from you and make some modifications later."
Madam Ji nodded with satisfaction: "Shishi, you are right to think so."
"Aunt Ji, of course I have to study harder and make progress so as not to let everyone down."
When Lu Ning heard the answer from the first lady, she couldn't help but admire her in her heart. No wonder Mrs. Ji was so interested in Miss Mo as her daughter-in-law. Such a versatile person was something that most people couldn't learn.
The little episode just passed like that. After all, since Mrs. Ji had spoken, no one dared to refute it.
Lu Ning was brought along by Mrs. Ji and introduced to ladies of high status.
When Mo Shiyi saw this scene, her heart tightened a lot. She had originally planned to take action on the day of the event, but now she couldn't bear it anymore.
Mo Shiyi glanced at his men, and soon someone came up with several boxes.
Mo Shiyi took the initiative to speak: "Everyone come and take a look. These are the items donated by our foundation, most of which are sanitary napkins. Let's all take a look at which one is more suitable."
Lu Ning also walked over and found that there were a variety of sanitary napkin brands.
Suddenly, someone holding a sanitary napkin shouted, "Who bought these? Why are they all expired?"
When Lu Ning saw the brand, she was suddenly startled. She remembered that their foundation had bought sanitary napkins of this brand.
Could it be that Qin Xiang did something?
