Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 741: Chapter 734: Transparent, Is It?

Wan Yun didn’t understand what Sisi was up to, but even if Sisi threw a knife at her, she couldn’t back down and had to catch it with a smile.

"Don’t worry, the questions I’m asking are the simplest ones, Mrs. Jin will definitely know the answers!" She declared, making the first move.

Sisi cleared her throat, her voice crisp: "Mrs. Jin is the head of the Baihe Foundation, right?"

"Yes, that’s no secret!" Wan Yun truly couldn’t figure out what Sisi was up to, why ask such childish questions?

"What will the proceeds from this auction be used for?" Sisi asked.

Wan Yun was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "The proceeds will be used to help children in impoverished mountainous areas who are out of school. Those kids can’t go to school because of poverty, and they don’t even get enough food, which is really heartbreaking."

Wan Yun looked pained, while the host timely added: "Ms. Wan has personally visited the impoverished areas in Y province several times, delivering supplies and study materials to those children, and even lived and ate with them."

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience again, and Wan Yun gave the host an approving glance—smart enough!

Sisi wouldn’t let Wan Yun off the hook easily, and immediately followed up with: "So, I’d like to ask Mrs. Jin, is the financial spending for aiding impoverished areas transparent?"

This question from Sisi caught everyone off guard, as no one had ever thought to ask this before. They just paid money for their reputation and didn’t care how it was spent.

Now that Sisi publicly posed the question, everyone eagerly looked at Wan Yun, also curious to know how the money would be used.

Wan Yun felt her heart skip a beat, and she almost couldn’t uphold her smile. Why would He Sisi ask such a question?

Could it be that the Yun Mansion had found something?

No, impossible. The Baihe Foundation was entirely run by the Jins, guarded so tightly even a fly couldn’t get through, unless the Yun Family had eyes and ears everywhere. He Sisi must be trying to bluff.

With this thought, Wan Yun calmed herself, quickly organizing her words in her mind, and responded with a smile: "Not yet, this was an oversight in our foundation’s work. I apologize to everyone here. Rest assured, every single penny of your donations will be used to help those in need. Our Baihe Foundation does not tolerate any corruption, and if anyone dares to engage in such, I, Wan Yun, will be the first to take action!"

Wan Yun’s righteous words were firm and resonant, drawing applause from the audience, who wore satisfied smiles.

Thinking a few words could smooth things over? Wishful thinking.

"Since it was a past oversight, will such dilemmas exist in the future?" Sisi pursued.

Wan Yun had already visualized chopping Sisi into pieces a hundred times internally, but maintained a friendly smile outwardly, "Of course, since Mrs. Tian has pointed out our oversight, we will certainly amend it in the future. Rest assured, everyone, the expenditure of today’s donations will be open and transparent for all to see."

"Allow me also to thank Mrs. Tian for her constructive criticism of our work, and I welcome everyone to supervise our foundation’s operations. Thank you all!"

Wan Yun didn’t want to entangle with Sisi any further. Who knows what kind of question He Sisi, that little wench, would come up with next?

He Sisi, you’re dead set on making things difficult for me!

Sisi: I’m here to uphold justice!

As the main personalities left the stage, the crowd also began to disperse. Several reporters were busily jotting down notes—It was big news when the Yun Family’s granddaughter clashed with the Jin Family’s eldest grandson’s wife; it was sure to make headlines the next day.

Sisi and the others slowly walked out of the venue. Huang Xiaoguang had one less beauty by his side, while the middle-aged man next to him now had a charming lady smiling beside him.

"Hello, Miss He, I’m Wu Zhangfa, a friend of your father’s." The middle-aged man with the lovely woman walked up to greet Sisi.

Daddy’s friend?

With the surname Wu?

Sisi felt a thought spark, and hesitantly asked, "Crystal shoes?"

Wu Zhangfa nodded with a smile, and Sisi also smiled, happily reaching out to shake his hand.

"Hello Uncle Wu, you can just call me Sisi."

"Then I’ll take the liberty!"

Wu Zhangfa was slightly flattered; though wealthy, he never had the connections to reach higher echelons. Now that he had a chance to know the granddaughter of the Yun Mansion, it was like a pie falling from the sky!

Sisi naturally understood Wu Zhangfa’s intentions, but since he was a friend Daddy valued, he must have some redeeming traits. She didn’t mind giving a bit of face.

Wu Zhangfa was quite tactful, simply exchanging a few words before bidding farewell. He mentioned having her and He Xuewen for a meal someday, as he knew of a place with incredibly delicious mountain delicacies.

"Its flavors are so captivating that it will leave your tongue craving for more, Sisi."

Can it really taste better than the food from her Space?

Sisi was not very interested, but still smiled and said, "That sounds great; I look forward to tasting the delicacies Uncle Wu mentioned next time."

Wu Zhangfa, content, left with his lady in tow, while the lovely woman cast a longing gaze at Huang Xiaoguang. However, Huang Xiaoguang didn’t spare her a glance, leaving the beauty’s heart bitter, yet she still forced a smile.

"Tsk, tsk, such a cold heart! Didn’t you see the beauty making eyes at you?" Zhang Jie teased.

Huang Xiaoguang rolled his eyes at her, "Menopause already? With all that energy to mind others’ business, why not focus on your own man instead? I heard that C City is known for its beauties. Watch out for your Lei Gang; he might be enticed away by a young beauty’s fluttering eyes!"

"Do you think my Gangzi is like you, changing women more often than clothes? Better be careful, karma might have hit you, being dumped by that little beauty today, and tricked out of US$ 100,000. I should tell Mrs. Huang how her precious son spent a fortune for a beauty!"

The two engaged in banter, a typical back-and-forth that had no apparent cause. Even though Zhang Jie and Huang Xiaoguang could be considered childhood friends, they clashed every time they met.

Zhang Jie claimed that if she and Huang Xiaoguang were to get along, it would only happen when mountains crumble and heaven and earth unite!

Huang Xiaoguang also said that even if he and Zhang Jie were the only two people left in the world, he’d rather die lonesome than befriend her.

Even their parents couldn’t understand how things came to this between them.

Eventually, Sisi finally learned that it all started with a bed-wetting incident.

Zhang Jie was three, and Huang Xiaoguang was eight, and they got along well, often eating and sleeping together, along with Lei Gang, who wore crotchless pants.

One summer night, the three slept on one bed, and no one knew whose fault it was, but Zhang Jie’s and Huang Xiaoguang’s pants got wet.

Huang Xiaoguang claimed Zhang Jie did it, she claimed he did it. In the end, the adults resolved the issue to preserve the little girl’s delicate feelings by collectively concluding that eight-year-old Huang Xiaoguang was responsible.

An eight-year-old Huang Xiaoguang was heartbroken, howling to the sky!

He hadn’t wet the bed since he was five!

Thus, the unresolved bed-wetting episode became a lasting grudge between these two little ones, extending to the present.

To Sisi, it seemed they were just used to arguing; not arguing might even strain their relationship!
