Chapter 386: Greed
"No need, it's gone, it's gone, I just want to get back a few relics of my parents now, forget about the house, since it's handed down by grandpa, she can give it to her if she wants." Qu Ying said.
"How can that be counted? Qu Ying, you're too easy to bully. Lu Meng said hurriedly on the side.
"Anyway, my aunt is also my only blood relative in this world, I don't want to make trouble because of a house that is gone, she can give it to her if she wants." Qu Ying said.
"Qu Ying is not wrong, she is not short of that money, and after all, she is a blood relative, can she really beat her? It would be nice to get the relics back. Li Mu knew that although Qu Ying looked like an iron-blooded woman, she was actually very soft-hearted, and she would definitely not really attack her aunt, so he followed Qu Ying and said.
"Forget it, since Qu Ying herself said so, then it is only regarded as a cheap aunt, it is because she has accumulated enough virtue in her previous life, and she has 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 back the relics.
"Why are you here again? I'm suing you, I also have the right to inherit the house, and the money I got has already been spent, so it's useless for you to force me again. A woman in her fifties, when she opened the door and saw that it was Qu Ying, immediately pulled down her face and said in disgust.
"Auntie, I'm not here to ask you for money∮ ■, w□ww., if the house is gone, it's gone, you can give me back what my parents left behind." Qu Ying said.
"What's there? It's all useless old furniture, and when I move away, I throw it all away. Qu Ju said with a cold face.
"Lost everything? You should still have that portrait of my parents, right? Qu Ying asked.
"The portrait is long gone. Hanging in the hall, Koharu accidentally splashed water on it. The painting was very wet, and later when I moved. I didn't bring it out, I just threw it away. Qu Ju said.
"Don't even have that picture?" Qu Ying's face showed a look of loss.
"I said no, if there was, I would have given it to you a long time ago." Qu Ju said.
"Since it's gone, auntie, we'll go first." Qu Ying didn't mean to go in, so she turned around and left after saying a word.
Li Mu felt that something was not quite right, Qu Ju's words, deeds and expression were a little strange, especially when Qu Ying first mentioned the painting, Qu Ju's face obviously changed abnormally.
Upon returning to the hotel. Qu Ying was about to check out and go back to H City, but Li Mu said with a smile: "It's not easy to come once, Qu Ying, you can take us around for a while." ”
"I haven't been back for several years, and the changes here are so great that I can't recognize some places anymore, so I can only take you to some popular attractions." Qu Ying was not in a good mood, but she still said with a strong smile.
"It doesn't matter where you go, as long as we can be with you, we will be very happy, Li Mu, don't you say?" Lu Meng said with a wink.
"I think so too." Li Mu said with a smile.
During the day, he and Qu Ying went to nearby attractions. After returning to his room after dinner in the evening, Li Mu ran out alone again and came to Qu Ju's house again.
Li Mu used the ability of the transparent fruit, and it was easy to enter Qu Ju's house. Those burglar-proof windows naturally couldn't stop him, and he directly opened them and got into them and restored them to their original state.
After Li Mu entered, he saw a man and a woman talking in the living room. The woman among them is Qu Ju, and the man should be her husband Zhao Fengchan.
Qu Ying, did she really say that it was all over it? It can't lie to us, right? That's a lot of money. She said she didn't want it? Zhao Fengchan looked at Qu Ju with some disbelief and said.
"Why would she want it? She couldn't prove that the house was hers, even if it was a lawsuit. As long as we insist that the house was originally left to me by my father, she can't help it. Qu Ju snorted coldly.
"That's right. What about the painting? Zhao Fengchan suddenly brought up a topic that interested Li Mu.
"She came today just to want the painting, and I told her that it had been destroyed, and she left." Qu Ju said.
"Could it be that she knew the value of the painting and came back to ask for it?" Zhao Fengchan said.
"Probably not, when that painting was painted, she hadn't been born yet, and when she left home, she was also a yellow-haired girl who didn't know anything, she shouldn't know that the painting of her parents was painted by the great painter Xu Mo." Qu Ju said with some uncertainty.
Li Mu listened slightly, Xu Mo has really heard of this person, a very famous painter in China recently, especially 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 to play, Li Mu originally thought that only the paintings of the ancients were valuable, but he didn't expect that a painting by Xu Mo would be auctioned for a high price of more than 7 million, and that 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 himself, if it was really Xu Mo's handwriting, the value of that painting would probably be immeasurable.
"Maybe this is happening, 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." Zhao Fengchan said.
"I know what, I've already told her that the painting has been ruined, and she can't do anything but go back." Qu Ju pouted.
"If she really knew the value of that painting, I'm afraid she wouldn't give up so easily, maybe she would find someone to steal the painting, after all, it might sell tens of millions of paintings." Zhao Fengchan pushed the frame of his glasses, looked at Qu Ju and said.
"She dares!" Qu Ju's eyes suddenly widened, as if she was going to fight with someone.
"What don't you dare, for the sake of tens of millions of money, there is something that can't be done, or she doesn't have to sneak the painting away at all, she just needs to make sure that the painting is with us, and it is possible to get the painting back through guò legal channels, after all, there is a congratulatory message 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, we can't keep the painting at home, we can put it in the bank vault." Qu Ju said and got up and walked to the bedroom.
Soon Qu Ju turned out a long square box from the wardrobe, and Zhao Fengchan came over and said, "If you want to send it to the bank, then you have to wait for the bank to open tomorrow, right?" What do you do with it now? ”
"I have to hold it to sleep, otherwise I won't be able to sleep soundly." Qu Ju said while 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 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, anyway, I have to hold it tonight to sleep, and send it to the bank's vault early tomorrow morning. By the way, there is also the gold bought with the compensation for the demolition, can you go and get it? Qu Ju asked again.
"I wonder what you're going to do when you have to buy it all for gold? Now the gold market is not good. Zhao Fengchan said.
"You are stupid, we have so much money in the bank, if Qu Ying knows, you won't mess with us?" Qu Ju said.
"Then you don't have to buy all of it into gold, even our savings have been bought." Zhao Fengchan said a little unhappily, he still felt that it was more reassuring to have cash in the bank.
"Now gold is so cheap, no matter how much it falls, we are buying now, one is to prevent Qu Ying from knowing that we have deposits, and the other is to treat it as an investment, maybe the price of gold will rise again, we can also make a profit, and it is much better than taking a little interest in the bank, even if the price of gold can't get up, it's already so cheap, we can't lose money." Qu Ju said.
"And what are you going to do with all that gold? You can't just leave it at home, right? What if you get a thief? Zhao Fengchan said.
"Just send it to the bank vault tomorrow, just pay a little storage fee, and it won't cost much." Qu Ju pondered for a while and said: "You can bring the gold too, I always feel a little restless today, and if I don't keep them, I won't be able to sleep." ”
"You don't have to be so suspicious." Zhao Fengchan took out a lockbox from the lattice above the wardrobe and put it in front of Qu Ju.
Qu Ju opened the lockbox, only to see that there were a lot of gold bars inside, Li Mu roughly estimated, I am afraid that the gold bars in the lockbox are also worth three or four million.
"With these gold bars and this painting, we will have no worries about eating and drinking for the rest of our lives, and it will be easy to buy a house and a car for Xiaochun and marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and there will be no pressure." Zhao Fengchan picked up a gold bar and said with some excitement.
"These gold bars and that painting can't be moved, and you can only take them out when you encounter something urgent, Xiaochun is still very early to marry a daughter-in-law, and you can't ask for a daughter-in-law who is greedy for our family's money." Qu Ju heard Zhao Fengchan say that, and was a little unhappy to snatch the gold bar in Zhao Fengchan's hand and put it back in the lockbox, and locked the lockbox with a snap.
Qu Ju put the lockbox and the wooden box on the bed, and felt at ease when she lay on her side and hugged them.
"With these, we will never be poor again, and no matter what, I will never live the same hard life without money as before." Qu Ju felt a lot more at ease in her heart, and ignored Zhao Fengchan's muttering on the side.
Li Mu shook his head slightly from the sidelines, Qu Ju is not wrong to love money, but she is too greedy, if she really just sold the house, Qu Ying didn't want to worry about her, and Li Mu wouldn't do anything to her, but now it's completely different, the corners of Li Mu's mouth turned up slightly, revealing an evil sneer
