"You, you have found the wrong person. I have never done that kind of thing." Yuan Ya defended with a panicked look on her face.
"We'll investigate whether or not it's been done. Let's go."
Yuan Ya's mind went blank.
It's over.
It's really over this time.
She had been taken to the police station once a few years ago for fake paintings, so she had a criminal record. However, the amount was not large at that time, and the shop owner used his connections, so the matter was settled privately... But it might not be so easy to go to jail this time. The money she made from fake paintings in recent years has increased a lot compared to that year. If she was accused of fraud... She didn't dare to think about it anymore.
She had performed well in the college entrance exam. I heard that Y University had given several more places to students from Beijing this year, so she might have a chance to be admitted! But now...
Yuan Ya regretted it so much that her internal organs turned green, and she cried in despair.
If I hadn't been so petty and vain...
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
Seeing people being taken away, Wen Xi felt sorry but not sympathetic.
Everyone must be responsible for what they do. Once they make a choice, they must bear the corresponding consequences.
The Yuan family wasn't wealthy, but they were well-off. Their starting point was much higher than many others, and if they had kept their feet on the ground, things would have been fine. However, Yuan Ya stole paintings, created fake ones, and even resorted to trickery to satisfy her own extravagant spending.
This road is getting crooked and people will always have to pay the price for their greed.

The hall was packed with guests at Mr. Yu’s closing ceremony.
Although he seldom socialized with others, as a national treasure-level master, many people still came to the banquet, including celebrities from all walks of life, powerful figures, and even people from the Ministry of Culture specially sent people over.
"Why are you here now? I thought you were lost and was about to look for you." Senior sister Yang Zhi was walking out and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her.
“I almost got lost.”
Wen Xi scratched her head a little embarrassedly. She has been directionally challenged for more than a day or two.
Yang Zhi shook his head in amusement: "He's still a child after all."
"I'm not much younger than you, Senior Sister."
Wen Xi acted coquettishly, somewhat unconvinced.
Her senior sister is also amazing. She studied for a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree consecutively, and graduated in her 20s and stayed on at the school to teach and guide students. She is not even older than she was in her previous life.
"One year younger is still younger." Yang Zhi smiled and tapped her forehead lightly, "Let's go, the banquet is about to start."
"oh."
Yang Zhi led her to the main table.
There were ten people at the table, including government officials and the master's family.
Le Yi and his wife were chatting with her parents with great enthusiasm. Although they did not become sworn brothers after their meeting in Tuanshan, the two families visited each other from time to time and had some friendship. Le Si was absent-mindedly playing with the lighter in his hand. His wife sitting next to him was smiling and occasionally interjecting a few words. The child next to them looked no more than 8 or 9 years old and was always playing with his mobile phone.
Seeing Wenxi coming over, Leyi's face suddenly broke into a smile: "Come on, Xiaoxi, sit here with me."
"Hello, Auntie Le." Wen Xi went over and sat down obediently.
"I heard you made it into the top three in the city this time, and you just won a national award. Wow, that's incredible! Have you ever considered studying abroad? With your qualifications, you should be able to get in easily!"
"I haven't considered it. I think it's pretty good in China."
"Are you worried about being bullied when you go abroad and are unfamiliar with the place? Don't be afraid, Xiao Zheng will protect you." Lan Yi seized the opportunity to promote his son as usual.
“…”
"No, Auntie Le, I've actually been eyeing Y University for a long time. No matter how good the other conditions are, I'm not interested."
