After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

Qin Xiang's words made her intentions quite clear.

Lu Ning's lips curled into a cold smile as she said directly, "So you mean I misappropriated the donations from the foundation's account without authorization?"

"I didn't mean that. I just wanted to remind you that donations shouldn't be moved around casually, lest it get out and have a bad impact on our Lu family, don't you think?"

Qin Xiang put on an innocent expression and quickly waved her hand: "Sister Ningning, if you're angry, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Lu Ning clicked her tongue: "What do you mean by pretending you didn't say anything? You've said everything, haven't you? Stop pretending?"

"Sister Ningning, I'm doing this all for your own good."

Qin Xiang's eyes immediately reddened, and she looked at Madam Ji and said, "You were there on the day of the charity sale, so you should know how much money was raised."

Mrs. Ji nodded: "Of course I know, but what does this have to do with Lu Ning's verification of funds today?"

Qin Xiang hadn't expected Madam Ji to be so protective of Lu Ning, not suspecting this bitch at all?

Mo Shiyi looked at Lu Ning and said, "If it's for verification of funds, it seems the money will be frozen for a few days and can't be touched."

This is also to prevent people with ulterior motives from directly borrowing money to verify their funds, and then transferring the money away after obtaining a membership card.

Before Lu Ning could answer, Qin Xiang burst into tears: "Sister Ningning, the foundation always needs to spend money to organize activities, and this money cannot be frozen."

These words seemed to confirm that the money in Lu Ning's card was indeed the donations raised for charity.

Mo Shiyi had an idea in her mind, but she didn't show it on her face: "Miss Lu, is there a problem with freezing it for a few days?"

Lu Ning replied, "No problem."

After all, this money is not charity money.

This is the money she earned from live streaming, plus the dividends she received from the artificial intelligence project.

This project will be launched soon, and she will receive even more money then.

Qin Xiang ran over and grabbed her hand: "Sister Ningning, don't make the same mistake again. Anyway, everyone here is an acquaintance. As long as you admit your mistake, no one will laugh at you."

Lu Ning shoved Qin Xiang away: "Are you sick? The money in the card isn't charity. I'm not that greedy."

"Sister Ningning, things have come to this point, so don't be stubborn. Madam Ji and Miss Mo both said they could lend you money, why don't you lend them some?"

Qin Xiang's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she looked like a righteous and understanding person.

Lu Ning casually grabbed the water next to her and splashed it at the white lotus flower.

Qin Xiang immediately screamed, "What are you doing? Do you know how expensive this dress is?"

Lu Ning clapped her hands: "I'm saving you."

"You save me?"

"Yeah, you were talking nonsense just now, like you were possessed. Are you a little more sober now?"

Lu Ning's eyes were filled with mockery: "I'll say it one last time, the money in the card isn't charity. If you have hearing problems, go to the hospital, and while you're at it, check if there's something wrong with your brain too."

Qin Xiang was furious: "How could you possibly have ten million in cash? What else could it be but embezzled charity funds?"

Do I need to explain this to you?

Lu Ning completely ignored Qin Xiang.

Mo Shiyi hadn't expected Lu Ning to be so assertive, especially in front of Aunt Ji. She calmly said, "Alright, since Miss Lu says it's not charity money, then it probably isn't. Don't throw mud at people without evidence."

Qin Xiang didn't really have any evidence, since she couldn't see how much money was in the account right now, but she could find out the truth when she went to the foundation tomorrow, and she definitely wouldn't let Lu Ning get away with it.

Seeing that Qin Xiang didn't say anything, Mo Shiyi knew that there was no evidence and that Qin Xiang was truly useless.

Soon, the manager handed the card to Lu Ning: "Ms. Lu, welcome to the club."

"Thank you."

After taking the card, Lu Ning looked at Madam Ji and said, "Thank you for your guarantee."

In order to become a member here, in addition to having a certain status, you also need someone to act as a guarantor.

It was because of Madam Ji's guarantee that she was able to become a member so smoothly.

Mrs. Ji replied with a smile, "What's the big deal? Let's go, I'll show you around."

Mo Shiyi couldn't help but speak up: "Aunt Ji, I'm afraid you have to return Miss Lu to me first, since there's a meeting to prepare for today."

"Oh right, I almost forgot, I'll go listen to it too."

"It's a dream come true."

Mo Shiyi also stepped forward and took Madam Ji's arm. As they walked, they talked about the affairs of the two families. The two of them had a very tacit understanding in their question-and-answer session.

Standing next to Madam Ji, Lu Ning felt somewhat superfluous, after all, Madam Ji and Mo Shiyi almost became mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Soon, they arrived at a banquet hall.

As soon as Mo Shiyi appeared, someone came over: "Didn't you go to pick someone up? Why did you take so long? Who is so important that Miss Mo had to go and pick them up in person?"

“This is Ms. Lu’s first time here. She doesn’t have a membership, so I should definitely help her.”

Mo Shiyi immediately introduced Lu Ning.

The woman who had spoken earlier looked Lu Ning up and down and said, "I heard your previous charity sale was rather shabby."

"Yes, the venue was simply decorated. If you didn't know it was a charity event, you might think it was a begging event."

Qin Xiang quickly said, "Originally, I was the one who arranged that event. Shan Shan even gave me some examples of events that Miss Mo had prepared before as a reference. But in the end, Sister Ning Ning said that the decorations were too extravagant and changed all the decorations."

This time, all the blame was shifted onto Lu Ning.

Lu Ning's expression softened slightly: "I think the charity sale doesn't need to be decorated with luxury goods; it's too wasteful of money."

Mo Shanshan said angrily, "So you mean my sister is just wasting money all the time?"

"Shanshan, what nonsense are you talking about again? Miss Lu didn't mean that, and her idea isn't wrong."

Mo Shiyi was so angry that her temples throbbed. How could her younger sister say something so stupid? Didn't she see that 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. Spending so much money on appearances is not as good as donating it directly to those in need."

Lu Ning was deeply moved by Madam Ji's words.

Mo Shiyi quickly tried to salvage the situation: "Miss Lu, I was just about to talk to you about this. Our previous setup did indeed cost a bit too much. We'll learn from you and make some changes in the future."

Mrs. Ji nodded with satisfaction: "Shishi, you are right to think this way."

"Aunt Ji, of course I need to study and improve so as not to disappoint everyone."

Upon hearing the first socialite's answer, Lu Ning couldn't help but admire her. No wonder Madam Ji was able to choose Miss Mo as her daughter-in-law; such shrewd and sophisticated methods were something most people couldn't learn.

The little incident passed just like that, since no one dared to contradict Madam Ji after she spoke.

Lu Ning was taken by Madam Ji and introduced to ladies of high status.

Seeing this scene, Mo Shiyi's heart clenched. She had originally planned to take action on the day of the event, but now she couldn't hold back any longer.

Mo Shiyi glanced at her people, and soon someone came up with several boxes.

Mo Shiyi took the initiative to speak up: "Everyone come and take a look. These are items donated by our foundation, mostly sanitary napkins. Let's all take a look and see which one is more suitable."

Lu Ning also went over and discovered that there were all sorts of sanitary napkin brands.

Suddenly someone holding a sanitary napkin brand shouted, "Who bought these? Why are they all expired?"

When Lu Ning saw the brand, she suddenly felt a pang of unease. She remembered that their foundation bought sanitary napkins from this brand.

Could it be that Qin Xiang did something wrong?
