Chapter 700 - Burning Bridges
Chapter 700: Burning Bridges
They were clearly out to ruin her career and leave her with no choice but to quit the entertainment industry.
“Huh? Doesn’t Second Young Mistress Huo know where that money is going?” Yang Qing asked, pretending to be bewildered.
Yan Jinyi raised her eyebrows and replied with a straight face, “Shouldn’t I know?”
“But, Second Young Mistress Huo, you’re the initiator and spokesperson of this charity campaign and you are fully responsible for this event. It’s stated clearly in our contract.”
‘Indeed, the contract has really been tampered with.Does she think I can be bullied because I don’t know how to read the contract?’
With a furious expression, Yan Jinyi rebuked, “Madam Yang, are you burning bridges now that you’ve already used me? It was agreed at the beginning that I would only be your spokesperson and your company would always be responsible for the funds raised from the campaign. When did I become the person in charge? Didn’t you also give me a million dollars to be managed by your family, Madam Yang?”
Yang Qing continued to pretend to be innocent as she said, “Second Young Mistress Huo, Yixin Finance may be nothing compared to Huo Group but you can’t accuse me like this! We agreed that we would be responsible for publicizing and finding people in need while you would be responsible for raising donations. Yet, you’re now asking me where the money went?”
Yan Jinyi looked at Yang Qing in a deep and meaningful way. “Madam Yang, are you sure?”
“Zhou Yan and his wife were there at the time. They can testify for me. Second Young Mistress Huo, I advise you to hurry up and get the money. I believe you but others do not!”
She finally realized what it means to burn a bridge after crossing it.
‘It’s no wonder that while Leng Jing can marry into the Bai family, this woman can only get a live-in husband.’
Tang Qing interjected, “Madam Yang, how come I heard that you were the one who took the initiative to cooperate with Miss Yan? Yixin Finance wanted to establish a good reputation for being a socially-responsible company by making use of charity. You even let Miss Yan be in charge of the donations. You’re really generous, Madam Yang, I truly admire you.”
Tang Qing even made a gesture at Yang Qing as he spoke.
Yan Jinyi chimed in, “Wow, I also finally now know that Madam Yang is so generous. Your heart is almost as vast as the Pacific Ocean, right?”
Yang Qing was unhappy but she tried to maintain the look of surprise on her face.
Despite being on the brink of death,Yan Jinyi was still making snide remarks about her.
“It’s written on the contract that you’re only going to be handing the money to and Yixin Finance will disburse the money to organizations or groups in need after you give it to us. So you didn’t read the contract carefully, Second Young Mistress Huo?”
‘Yang Qing is so shameless, Yixin Finance must have stolen a lot of money. No wonder Sangsang’s editor-in-chief wants her to secretly investigate.’
Yan Jinyi remained composed, leaving Tang Qing with no choice but to admire her too.
Yang Qing’s acting skills were so good that he was really enraged and wanted to hit her.
“Madam Yang, actually, I just want to ask you for the account number and password of the donation account. How can I take out the loots and share them with you without the password?”
Not expecting Yan Jinyi to say this, Yang Qing was stunned for a moment but she soon continued to feign ignorance. “Second Young Mistress Huo, you must be joking. Although the account is provided by our company, we weren’t involved at all throughout the whole process. I won’t dare to take that money!”
“Is that so?”
“Of course, although the Yang family is not as good as yours, we’re still related to the Bai family after all.” Yang Qing sighed and said, “To put it bluntly, we’re connected to lots of people and if our reputation is tarnished, the Bai family will also be implicated, right? Besides, I’m not short of tens of millions, am I?”
“I’m quite short of money. Madam Yang, if you’re not short of money, just give yours to me.”
‘Yan Jinyi really does not act according to my plan.’
She initially thought that Yan Jinyi would continue to stir up trouble but she didn’t expect Yan Jinyi to just walk away.
Yang Qing was somehow a little worried, but on second thought, she realized that she had nothing to be afraid of since she had evidence against Yan Jinyi.
