Chapter 41 Do you like my husband?
There were very few people in the art gallery today, and there was only me and that man on the second floor.
After arriving at a room at the end and pushing open the door, I saw Su Ying slumped on the ground with tears on her face. Opposite her sat a slightly fat woman with short curly hair and a face full of anger.
It was indeed her.
I suddenly felt happier. In the previous life, Su Ying and others resold fake paintings, and they were sold to a woman named Qiu Xinlian. She was the owner of the largest art auction house in the country. She usually sold some fakes herself, but she would not accept others selling her fakes that were real.
In order to make money, Su Ying worked with a few people who specialized in reselling counterfeit works to sell several fake paintings to Qiu Xinlian. After being discovered, she called me for help. Without saying a word, I took Shen Yixiao with me to rescue her. I paid a small amount of money, and as for Shen Yixiao's sake, I let her go.
But since then, Su Ying and I were put on Qiu Xinlian's business blacklist, and we were not allowed to enter any art exhibitions or auctions where she participated.
I came here not for Su Ying, but to build a good relationship with Qiu Xinlian. If I really go abroad to settle down in the future, I can't just live off my savings. I will definitely pick up the skill of painting. At that time, I will need a channel to sell my paintings, and Qiu Xinlian is one of the best connections.
"Yueyue, why did you come alone? You didn't bring Shen Yixiao with you?" Su Ying's face darkened when she saw me coming alone, "Don't we have any tacit understanding at all? You should know from my tone that I'm in trouble, and you can't handle it alone!"
I glanced at her and didn't want to waste time talking to her. I just walked up to Qiu Xinlian and asked politely, "Sister, may I ask what my friend did to offend you?"
Qiu Xinlian looked at me coldly, "Is your husband Shen Yixiao?"
"Well, but this matter has nothing to do with him. Tell me what happened first." I replied.
Logically, I should hold onto Shen Yixiao’s thighs and use his connections to back me up, but I said that this matter had nothing to do with him. Not only was Su Ying speechless, but Qiu Xinlian also showed a hint of interest, “It would be simpler if you asked your husband to come and talk to me. You can’t solve it.”
I still said, "Tell me what happened first."
Qiu Xinlian then told me that Su Ying had sold her fake paintings, and that she had already resold those fake paintings to an old customer. After being discovered, it brought her trouble.
"Sister Qiu, I'm sorry. I was deceived by others. I thought those paintings were real!" Su Ying was still quibbling.
"Sister Qiu, I will bear the losses on your side. Please calculate how much you need to pay." I interrupted Su Ying and offered compensation very readily.
Su Ying immediately started to fuss, "Are you crazy?! I sold her the painting for less than 30,000 yuan, and she wants me to pay her one million yuan!"
Hearing her words, Qiu Xinlian's face became more and more angry. She stood up and slapped Su Ying in the face, cursing unceremoniously, "It's already a great mercy for me to ask you to pay one million. If you want to die, I can also grant you that!"
Su Ying was stunned. She covered her face and stared at the two of us blankly. I reached out to stop Qiu Xinlian, "One million, huh? I'll pay for her."
Qiu Xinlian looked at me suspiciously, "Really? How can I believe you?"
"I don't have that much money. Give me a contact number and I'll contact you in three days." This was the second time I encountered this. I was no longer panicked. I just continued calmly, "My compensation will definitely satisfy you. You know who my husband is, including me. You can directly check my information. You don't need to worry so much."
Qiu Xinlian is a straightforward person. All she wanted was compensation. Since I agreed, there was no need to waste time. She directly gave me her business card and asked me to take Su Ying away.
I pulled Su Ying up and left quickly.
After we got outside the art gallery, Su Ying shook off my hand. She angrily accused me, "Li Yue, what on earth do you want to do? Is it because Shen Yixiao makes money too easily that you don't feel bad, so you just agreed to pay him one million? I know that you guys spend one or two million to celebrate your anniversary, and this amount of money is nothing to you, but if you continue like this, Shen Yixiao will definitely think that you don't consider him and really treat him as an ATM!"
I looked at her in surprise, "Su Ying, are you so possessive of my husband's money?"
Su Ying's face turned red, and she continued to confront me, "I didn't, I did it for your own good. If a couple wants to stay together for a long time, they must consider each other instead of just asking for things."
"Why don't you pay the one million yourself and don't ask me to come over? This matter actually has nothing to do with me, but you insist on saying it is related. Isn't your ultimate goal to have me help you compensate others?" I asked back in a cold voice.
Su Ying was very angry, "You are really hopeless. I was kind enough to think about your marriage, but you turned around and blamed me. If Shen Yixiao came here by himself and agreed to help me compensate, that was his decision, and he couldn't blame you. You are so stupid!"
I couldn't help laughing. Su Ying was very persistent in testing what position she held in Shen Yixiao's heart.
If Shen Yixiao came over and saw her miserable condition and promised to help her compensate, she would definitely feel happy and think that she had some status. But the result was that I came over and made the decision on behalf of Shen Yixiao, which was simply outrageous to her!
“In that case, I won’t waste Shen Yixiao’s money. You can solve it yourself.” I didn’t indulge Su Ying and prepared to leave.
She immediately came forward to stop me, looking unwilling and helpless, "If I had money, would I still ask you for help? Are we still good friends?"
This is the attitude when asking for help, it's because I was so good to her in the past. I have been an only child for so many years and have no brothers or sisters, so I treat her like my own sister.
"I treat you as a good friend, but it seems that you only have my husband in your heart, Su Ying. In fact, I know that you like Shen Yixiao, but you just don't want to lose our friendship for him. If you continue to be like this in the future, don't blame me for not cherishing our friendship." I exposed Su Ying directly, not wanting to consider her face anymore.
Otherwise she will continue to disgust me unscrupulously, and I really am not in the mood to deal with so much.
Su Ying was stunned and looked at me with shock and panic. Didn't she think that she had disguised her little thoughts so well that I couldn't see through them at all?
She stammered, "What are you talking about? I am so upset with Shen Yixiao..."
"No need to explain. Just like that, I will help you solve this matter in three days." I interrupted Su Ying, got in the car and left without waiting for her.
