Chapter 1198: On What Grounds

Mengyu continued, "According to what I know, the Nan Family account had a withdrawal of one million on that day, labeled as expenses for the press conference and project promotion. I found it quite strange. For a press conference, it’s just about buying some fruits or something to display, and there’s no formal dining involved—how could that cost a million? Isn’t it odd?"

Gan Hua immediately fell silent.

That million, although Nan Ming didn’t explicitly say it was for her, was indeed meant to be a gift in disguise, just as Mengyu said. How could a simple press conference cost a million?

So, Nan Ming intended to give her money in a roundabout way.

If Nan Ming were still here, she wouldn’t have to worry, as he’d arrange everything. But unfortunately, Nan Ming was gone. How could she explain this million now?

Mengyu added, "The Family Head has already appointed the new housekeeper for the Nan Family. They’re inspecting the accounts these days. Since Nan Ming suddenly died, many accounts don’t add up. Others might be ignored, but since this million is a substantial amount, the new housekeeper will definitely investigate thoroughly.

Big sister, you’d better find a way to quickly return this million! Otherwise, when the new housekeeper finds out that you embezzled this million, you’ll have to sit in jail for a long time."

Gan Hua’s face abruptly turned pale: Where was she supposed to find a million now?

She cast a glance at Mengyu and suddenly regained her composure: "That’s easy. When the time comes, I’ll just tell them that the million was given to Lady Nan. Anyway, you are a member of the Nan Family. Can’t you just not pay it yourself?"

Mengyu smiled: "I just mentioned account checking and tracing the direction of funds. Your so-called million was not transferred to my account but to the Mengmeng Kindergarten’s account. The legal representative of that Mengmeng Kindergarten is called Yuxing, a Xiangjiang person. Do you think the donation you made can be retrieved?"

Gan Hua was unconvinced; the money was clearly given to the Eldest Lady Nan Mengyu in front of her. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Also, I heard before from Nan Mingzhu that Nan Ming used to give you quite a bit of money. Aside from this million, the value of things he usually gives should be no less than a million. I think you should honestly return this money."

Gan Hua’s face first turned red and then green.

Nan Mingzhu! To her surprise, it was Nan Mingzhu who said it. She was still worrying about how she would fare after leaving!

Gan Hua was infuriated: "Stop talking nonsense; we both know that at the time, I transferred that million to you, to the account you specified, regardless of whether it’s personal or kindergarten-related. It has nothing to do with me. Just tell me, how can I get that million back from you?"

Mengyu’s expression turned stern: "I’ve already said I never received your money, why should I return money to you? If you want me to pay, first provide evidence proving I received your money."

She suddenly seemed to remember something, then added: "Oh, by the way, you’re living at No. 12 Cuiming Road right now, aren’t you?"

Gan Hua asked warily: "Why are you asking this?"

Mengyu smiled innocuously: "That house is now mine. If you wish to rent, we can sign a rental agreement. If you don’t want to rent, please move out within three days."

This time, Gan Hua’s face dramatically changed: "Impossible, that’s my house!"
