Chapter 386 Greed
"No need, it's gone. Now I just want to take back a few relics from my parents. Let's just forget about the house. Since it was passed down by my grandfather, she would give it to her if she wanted it." Qu Ying said.
"How can I forget this? Qu Ying, you are too easy to bully." Lu Meng said anxiously from the side.
"No matter what, my aunt is also my only blood relative in this world. I don't want to make trouble because of a house that has nowhere left. If she wants it, she will give it to her." Qu Ying said.
"Qu Ying is right, she is not short of that little money, and after all, she is a blood relative, so how can she really beat her up? Just take the relics back." Li Mu knew that although Qu Ying looked like a tiny-blooded tomboy, she was actually very soft-hearted and would definitely not really attack her aunt, so he followed Qu Ying.
"Forget it, since Qu Ying said so herself, she just thought it was a bargain for her aunt. She had accumulated enough virtue in her previous life and had only become such a relative in this life." Lu Meng said angrily.
Li Mu and Lu Meng also stayed in the hotel, and the next day they followed Qu Ying to find her aunt to get the relics back.
"Why are you here again? I told you that I also have the right to inherit the house, and the money I got has been spent. It is useless for you to force me again." A woman in her fifties opened the door and saw that it was Qu Ying, and she immediately pulled down her face and said disgustedly.
"Aunt, I'm not here to ask you for money∮■, w□ww., if the house is gone, it's gone. You should return the things left by my parents to me." Qu Ying said.
"What's there? They are all useless old furniture, and they were thrown away when they moved away." Qu Ju said with a cold face.
"All of them were thrown away? You should still keep that portrait of my parents, right?" Qu Ying asked.
"The portrait was gone long ago. It was hung in the main hall. Xiaochun accidentally splashed water on it. The painting was so wet. Later, when he moved, he didn't take it out and threw it away directly." Qu Ju said.
"Is there not even that painting?" Qu Ying's face showed a look of loss.
"Everyone said there was nothing. If there were any, I would have given it to you long ago." Qu Ju said.
"Since it's gone, aunt, let's leave first." Qu Ying had no intention of going in, and said, then turned around and left.
Li Mu felt something was wrong. Qu Ju's words, deeds and expressions were a little strange, especially when Qu Ying first mentioned the painting, Qu Ju's face changed significantly abnormally.
After returning to the hotel, Qu Ying was about to check out and return to H City, but Li Mu smiled and said, "I finally came here once, Qu Ying, just take us around for a while."
"I haven't been back for several years. The changes here are so great that I can't recognize some places. I can only take you to some popular attractions." Qu Ying was in a bad mood, but she still said with a forced smile.
"It doesn't matter where you go. We will be very happy as long as we can be with you. Li Mu, don't you?" Lu Meng said with a blink of an eye.
"I feel so too." Li Mu smiled.
During the day, I went to nearby attractions with Qu Ying. After dinner in the evening, I returned to my room, Li Mu ran out alone and came to Qu Ju's house again.
Li Mu used the ability of transparent fruits and easily entered Qu Ju's home. The anti-theft windows naturally could not stop him. He pulled them open directly and crawled in and returned to their original state.
After Li Mu entered, he saw a man and a woman talking in the living room. The woman among them was Qu Ju, and the man should be her husband Zhao Fengchan.
"Qu Ying really said that she just let it go? Isn't it a liar to us? She said that she didn't want it, so much money. She said, "Zhao Fengchan looked at Qu Ju with some disbelief and said.
"Why should she want it? She can't prove that the house belongs to her. Even if we are suing, as long as we insist that the house was left to me by my father, she can't do anything about it." Qu Ju snorted coldly.
"That's right. Where is that painting?" Zhao Fengchan suddenly raised the topic that made Li Mu interested.
"She came here today just to want that painting. I told her that it had been destroyed, so she left." Qu Ju said.
"Did she know the value of that painting, so she came back to ask for that painting?" Zhao Fengchan said.
"It shouldn't be. She was not born yet when the painting was drawn. When she left home, she was also a yellow-haired girl who knew nothing. She probably wouldn't know that the painting of her parents was painted by the great painter Xu Mo." Qu Ju said with some uncertainty.
Li Mu was slightly stunned when he heard this. He had really heard of Xu Mo. Recently, a very famous painter in China is particularly good at figure painting, but he passed away a few years ago.
The reason why Li Mu knew Xu Mo was because Zhou De took him to an auction. Li Mu originally thought that only the paintings of ancient people were valuable, but unexpectedly, a painting of Xu Mo was sold at a high price of more than 7 million yuan. Moreover, the painting was not a figure painting that Xu Mo was good at, but a bamboo forest picture.
Li Mu didn't expect that the portrait of Qu Ying's parents was actually painted by Xu Mo. If it were Xu Mo's work, the value of that painting would probably be incalculable and sky-high.
"It's possible that Xu Mo's paintings are getting hotter and hotter now. Qu Ying won't come back sooner or later. But when she comes back at this time, she doesn't even care about the house. She just wants that painting. I think she knows the value of that painting very much." Zhao Fengchan said.
"So what if I know? I have told her that the painting has been destroyed. She has no choice but to go back." Qu Ju said with a lip voice.
"If she really knew the value of that painting, she would probably not give up so easily. Maybe she would find someone to steal the painting. After all, she might sell tens of millions of paintings." Zhao Fengchan pushed the glasses frame and said to Qu Ju.
"She dares!" Qu Ju suddenly widened her eyes, as if she was trying to fight with someone.
"What are you afraid of? For tens of millions of dollars, there is something you can't do, or she doesn't have to steal the painting at all. She just needs to make sure that the painting is drawn with us, and it is possible to take the painting back through legal channels. After all, there are also congratulations written by Xu Mo to her parents on the painting. Anyone can see that the painting was given to Qu Ying's parents by Xu Mo." Zhao Fengchan said.
"No, the painting cannot be placed at home, let's put it in the bank's vault." Qu Ju said, then got up and walked into the bedroom.
Soon Qu Ju turned out a long square box from the wardrobe. Zhao Fengchan walked over and said, "If you want to send it to the bank, you have to wait until the bank opens tomorrow, right? What are you doing now?"
"I have to hold it to sleep, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well." Qu Ju said, holding the wooden box.
"Okay, don't worry so much. Those are just my guesses. Maybe Qu Ying doesn't know the value of this painting at all." Zhao Fengchan said.
"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of it. Anyway, I have to hold it to sleep tonight. I'll send it to the bank's vault tomorrow morning. By the way, there are also gold bought for the demolition compensation. Do you go and get it?" Qu Ju asked again.
"I really don't know why you insist on buying all of them into gold? The current gold market is not good." Zhao Fengchan said.
"You are stupid. We save so much money in the bank. What if Qu Ying knows, why don't you make trouble with us?" Qu Ju said.
"Then you don't have to buy them all into gold. Even our deposits were bought." Zhao Fengchan said with some unhappiness. He still felt more at ease with cash in the bank.
"Now gold is so cheap, and it will not be reduced any further. We buy it now, one is to prevent Qu Ying from knowing that we have deposits, and the other is to consider it as an investment. Maybe in the future, we can make a profit, which is much better than taking a little interest in the bank. Even if the price of gold cannot rise, it is already so cheap, we can't lose money." Qu Ju said.
"Then what should you do if you are going to put that gold? You can't just leave it at home, right? What if you get a thief?" Zhao Fengchan said.
"It's enough to send it to the bank vault tomorrow. It's just a little storage fee, and it won't cost much." Qu Ju pondered for a moment and said, "You can take the gold too. I always feel a little uneasy today. If I don't keep them, I can't sleep."
"You don't have to be so suspicious." Zhao Fengchan moved a password box from the lattice above the wardrobe and placed it in front of Qu Ju.
Qu Ju opened the password box and saw that there were many gold bars inside. Li Mu estimated that the gold bars in the password box were worth three to four million.
"With these gold bars and this painting, we will have no worries about food and drink in the rest of our lives. In the future, we will be relaxed and we will have no pressure to buy a house, car and get married. Zhao Fengchan picked up a gold bar and said excitedly.
"These gold bars and that painting cannot be moved randomly. You can only take them out when you encounter urgent matters. Xiaochun is still very early to marry his wife. Besides, the wife who is greedy for our family's money cannot be asked for." Qu Ju heard Zhao Fengchan say that, and was a little unhappy and snatched the gold bar in Zhao Fengchan's hand and put it back into the password box. With a bang, she locked the password box.
Qu Ju put the code box and wooden box on the bed, and felt relieved when she lay on her side and hugged them.
"With these, we will never be poor again. In any case, I will never live the hard life of the past without money." Qu Ju felt much more at ease, ignoring Zhao Fengchan's muttering beside her.
Li Mu shook his head slightly when he looked around. Qu Ju loves money, but he is just too greedy. If she really just sold the house, Qu Ying wouldn't want to bother with her, and Li Mu wouldn't do anything to her, but now it's completely different. The corners of Li Mu's mouth slightly raised, showing an evil sneer.
