Chapter 214: It’s Hard to Guard Against a Thief Within
Li Wenjing smiled gently and asked:
"Wan Ning, what are you thinking about?"
Xu Wanning raised a smile at the corner of her lips and said slowly:
"I admire your collection of antique calligraphy and paintings!"
"By the way, Li Wenjing, are these the dowry your family prepared for you?"
Hearing this, Li Wenjing's pretty face showed a happy smile.
"Yes, these are the dowry my grandfather gave me!"
"But if you like them, pick a few and take them back to Beijing!"
At this time, a woman about forty or fifty years old with shifty eyes came out!
"Miss, this is a gift from the old man. How can you give it to outsiders casually?"
Li Wenjing looked unhappy. She hated people who meddled in other people's affairs the most!
"Aunt Liu, Grandpa has already given me these things, so of course I can give them to whoever I want!"
Aunt Liu looked extremely unhappy and felt a little guilty!
"Miss, if you do this, the old man will be sad!"
Xu Wanning looked meaningfully at the guilty woman in front of her!
"Wen Jing, why don't you introduce us to who this person is?"
Li Wenjing's pretty face turned a little dark. Today, Aunt Liu was too nosy. She was not like this before!
"This is Aunt Liu. My grandfather asked her to come here to take care of me!"
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Liu Ma's old face, and she said sternly:
"It's better for the guests not to touch anything!"
"The things here are all treasured by our old man for many years. If you accidentally break them, you won't be able to pay for it!"
Hearing this, Lin Qiqi's smile froze instantly. Isn't this just looking down on others?
"Liu Ma, right? Your old man asked you to take care of Wen Jing, not to rebel here!"
Aunt Liu's face instantly turned the color of liver. She never expected that a little girl could be so sharp-tongued!
"You...what nonsense are you talking about? When did I rebel?!"
Gu Yunting came over with a dark face and said in a cold tone:
"Auntie Liu, we don't need you to take care of us here anymore. Go back to the old house and take care of the old man!"
Li Wenjing's pretty face flushed with anger, and she yelled:
"Get out of my house right now!"
There was a hint of cold smile on Xu Wanning's lips. It was very likely that the things in this small western-style building had been replaced by this Aunt Liu!
"Wait a minute!"
"Auntie Liu, how long have you been staying in this little Western-style building?"
Everyone looked at Xu Wanning with confusion!
Aunt Liu knew that if she didn't give in, she would definitely be kicked out, and she couldn't leave here!
"Two years, what happened?"
"Miss, uncle, please give me another chance?"
Li Wenjing didn't even look at her. If she had been like she was in her earlier years, she would have kicked Liu Ma out long ago!
"Auntie Liu, for Grandpa's sake, I won't punish you. Go back to the old house!"
Xu Wanning picked up the crudely made vase and handed it to her!
"Li Wenjing, do you know that all the antique calligraphy and paintings in your house have been replaced with fakes?"
Li Wenjing is not a fool, although she doesn't understand these old things very well.
But she had been influenced by it, and had seen many antique vases at her grandfather's place before. When she took a closer look at the vase in her hand, she found that the workmanship was very rough and it didn't look like an authentic one at all!
