Chapter 446 -445: Falling off the Horse, She is a Philanthropist!
Qu Weiwei shook her head.
“Teacher, if we wait for Lu Mian to come back, do you think she’ll let us open this parcel?
She’s usually so domineering; she definitely won’t let us open it.
Besides, we’re opening this box just to prove her innocence.
If it’s her stuff, we’ll leave.
But if it’s Qiao Yaning’s cosmetics, this also proves Lu Mian isn’t being wrongfully accused!”
The girls who were close to Qiao Yaning nodded in agreement.
“Yeah, teacher, we can’t just let it go with such expensive cosmetics!
Thieves are really shameful; such behavior is just too filthy!”
“If you want something, go buy it yourself.
If you don’t have money, then just endure and don’t take—it’s unacceptable to steal!”
“That’s right.”
A chorus of agreement sounded from the crowd around her, and Tan Tong shook her head, quietly sending a text message to Lu Mian.
Twenty-three girls and one teacher all stood in the room, cramped together, and Qu Weiwei took on the role of an enforcer proactively.
“Alright, now we’ll vote whether to open this express delivery or not.
There are 23 people.
If you agree to open it, stand to my right side; if you disagree, stand to my left.”

After she finished speaking, the girls looked at each other, and they all made their decision.
To them, Lu Mian’s identity was unclear; they didn’t know what kind of person she was.
But Qiao Yaning’s identity was certain—she was the Qiao Family’s daughter, from a wealthy and respectable household!
Who wouldn’t want to ingratiate themselves with the daughter of a wealthy family?
Several girls quickly took the brave step of standing on the side favoring opening the package, clearly stating their stance.
Once some people made their decision, naturally, more followed.
Everyone gradually moved to one side or the other, eventually forming two lines.
Qu Weiwei, naturally, was on the side wanting to open the delivery.
Qiao Yaning, being the person involved, didn’t participate in the vote.
Qu Weiwei looked at the people on the opposite side.
“What are you thinking?
We’re not being too excessive, are we?
The person who steals is the excessive one.”
The people opposite lowered their heads.
The final decision not to open the delivery was actually thanks to Tan Tong’s choice.
Since the teacher chose not to open the delivery, to get some favor in the teacher’s eyes, they definitely had to join her.
In the end, everyone had their own calculations and thoughts.
Eventually, they realized that each side had 11 people; it was a tie again.
This was a tough situation!
It wasn’t until then that everyone noticed Fang Xilan; she had been hesitantly standing on the side without taking a stance.
She hung her head, twisting the corner of her clothes, deep in thought.
Qu Weiwei glared at her and shouted, “Fang Xilan, you’re the only one who hasn’t voted!
Hurry up and say something—do you support opening the delivery or not?”
Fang Xilan’s vote was crucial; it would determine the final result.
Fang Xilan was very conflicted inside, her head hanging low without lifting it.
She gave the express delivery on the table a deep glance, then looked at Qiao Yaning and Qu Weiwei, and in the end, slowly walked over to their side.
Her vote went towards opening the delivery.
Qu Weiwei revealed a victorious smile, even giving Fang Xilan a rare compliment, “You have a good eye today!
Well done!”
Fang Xilan gave a dry smile.
She thought, now she must officially be part of Qiao Yaning’s group.
If she could get acquainted with such rich people, that would be quite nice…
The voting result was out, and everyone had to accept it, including Tan Tong.
She couldn’t stop it now even if she wanted to.
Qu Weiwei and a group of girls had already grabbed the express delivery and started opening it.
The girls were skilled at opening parcels, tearing off the tape and opening the box in no time at all.
Although they moved quickly, considering that this might be cosmetics worth ten thousand yuan, they were still gentle in their actions.
Qu Weiwei sneered, “Yaning, just watch, it’s definitely your stuff!”
After she finished speaking, she also turned to Tan Tong, “Teacher, if these things really are stolen by Lu Mian, you must bear witness for us!
This can’t end like this.”
As she said this, a few other girls helped her, and finally opened the box.
Everyone curiously gathered around, quietly staring at the contents of the box.
However—
Everyone was disappointed.
There was no exquisite box as imagined, nor any so-called cosmetics, just a simple trophy, certificate, and a few slips of paper.
Qiao Yaning’s face instantly turned ugly.
Qu Weiwei furrowed her brows, feeling that this plot was not right.
Others beside her exchanged awkward glances—these weren’t Qiao Yaning’s cosmetics.
Had they opened the wrong parcel?
“Even if this parcel isn’t Yaning’s stuff, it doesn’t prove that Lu Mian is innocent.
She was the only one missing during class!”
Someone muttered softly.
Qu Weiwei was stunned, driven by curiosity and the urge to snoop, she immediately took out the contents of the parcel.
Even though it wasn’t Qiao Yaning’s belongings.
The trophy was crystal-shaped.
It was placed in front of everyone, and after examining it for a few moments from various angles, they saw a small line of text inscribed: “To Philanthropist Lu Mian—Guangming School”.
The word “philanthropist” struck everyone like a thunderbolt!
They had always thought charity was something distant from them, and that philanthropists surely couldn’t be insignificant people.
Lu Mian?
How could this be possible?
“This can’t be some custom-made thing she got online to fool herself, right?” Everyone was incredulous.
Someone else was flipping through the cardboard box.
“There’s a certificate here too.”
Someone also took out the certificate to look at it, and written clearly on it was that Lu Mian had donated money to Guangming School on a certain year and month.
Fifty million.
As soon as the amount of fifty million was mentioned, even Qiao Yaning took a sharp intake of breath.
Even for a wealthy family, that was not a small sum.
Lu Mian had actually donated fifty million?
This must not be real!
They must be dreaming!
How could a student of the same age as them be a philanthropist?
How could she donate fifty million?
Moreover, Lu Mian always dressed so plainly, she didn’t seem like someone who could casually donate fifty million!
Ah, the world must be under some spell!
At this moment, Fang Xilan was even more dumbfounded.
She snatched the certificate, looking it over dozens of times, continuously confirming the number, incessantly counting the zeros following the fifty million, and even though it also had the amount in capital letters, she seemed bewitched, unable to put the certificate down.
Qu Weiwei was also somewhat panicked, but still stubbornly said, “What school could possibly use so much money?
Even building a school in a rural area only costs a few hundred thousand…
I think she must have forged it!”
Indeed, none of them could accept this outcome.
While everyone was at a loss, someone else took out the other slips of paper from the box.
