Su Li slapped her forehead; she was really confused because of her fever, and she had forgotten something so important.

"Then please return it to me, Master Quan."

She tried to take it back, but Quan Ye dodged her hand and put it directly into his pocket.

"you!"

"If I remember correctly, this earring appeared at an auction before and was sold for a high price. What I didn't expect was that it was you who bought it. It seems you've been doing a lot of things behind my back."

"Don't blame me. I told you I wanted it, but you weren't planning to bid for it for me, so I had to find a way to get it myself."

"How do you know I won't give it to you, Su Li? You've been with me for so long, can't you have a little more confidence?"

"I dare not."

Looking at her stubborn little face, Quan Ye couldn't bear to say anything more to her.

“The earring is very valuable, but it’s clear that it has a different meaning for you. When you disappeared, I had someone investigate your uncle and aunt, and we also learned some things from Huang Yumei. You want your uncle to wake up so much because you want to find out something, and this matter is related to the earring.”

He's so smart; he can notice a lot of things with just a little attention.

He was right, but Su Li never wanted to tell anyone about these private matters.

The more people know, the more dangerous it is for you.

"Mr. Quan, you can guess whatever you want, I won't say a word about this matter."

Quan Ye knew that forcing her to talk about things she didn't want to say would be useless and would only push her too far.

When the time is right, I will speak.

"I can leave this matter alone; I'll make a deal with you."

"What transaction?"

“I know some authoritative experts abroad who can cure Zhou Kai’s illness. You stay by my side and are not allowed to have any thoughts of leaving. I will ask them to return to China to treat Zhou Kai.”

Quan Ye's voice was slightly cold, "This condition isn't unreasonable, is it?"

Su Li frowned; she had to choose between the truth and freedom.

"It's okay, I'll give you time to think about it and give me an answer next Monday."

"Sister Sangsang, your drawing skills are quite good. It's a pity you're not a designer."

On a grassy area in a scenic spot, Meng Sangsang, dressed in a white vacation dress and wearing a straw hat, was sitting under a shed, painting intently.

As she looked around at the scenery, she kept drawing, and soon a landscape photo appeared on the paper.

Su Chen sat to the side, helping to hand over the paints, and couldn't help but sigh, "My sister's friends are really good, they're all just as good as her."

"You brat, do you think I'm a pushover?"

"I didn't realize you had a talent for drawing before."

“When I was little, I didn’t like studying, so my parents sent me to learn painting and dancing. I didn’t like dancing, but I was okay at painting. As I painted, I got into an art school. Later, I met your sister during a field trip, and we’ve been friends ever since.”

"Then why aren't you doing this kind of work anymore?"

Meng Sangsang shook her head, "It's too boring. After graduation, I want to relax and travel occasionally."

"That's true, with your family background, you don't need to work to have money to spend."

“You brat, I also sell my paintings to earn money. My previous paintings were all sold for high prices. I’m not going to be a freeloader.”

Su Chen gave her a thumbs up, "Anyway, you're pretty good too."

Meng Sangsang put down her paintbrush, stretched her sore hands, and chatted casually, "Xiao Chen, what do you think your sister and Master Quan are doing now?"
