What?
Mr. Zhao hurried to the wall and saw the landscape painting by Qi Baishi.
He pushed the reading glasses on his nose and took a closer look -
really!
This landscape painting is fake!
The original version had a dark red color where Qi Baishi's name was printed, but this one is too bright red. Also, the lines and the proportions of the ink wash are wrong!
Such a big thing, and he didn't even notice it!
Old Master Zhao picked up the landscape painting and stormed up to Nanny Cai. "Tell me! What's going on?! Where's the set of stamps from 1980 that I treasured in my room?! And this landscape painting is a fake! Where's my original?!"
"This...I...I don't know..." the nanny stammered, "How would I know..."
"You take care of me in this house all day long. If you don't know, who will know?" Old Master Zhao was almost mad with anger. He wanted to go crazy and slap Nanny Cai hard, "You...you..."
"Grandpa, let's call the police," Wenjiu said, handing Grandpa Zhao his phone.
With trembling hands, Old Master Zhao took the phone. "Hello? Is this 110? I want to call the police..."
"No...you can't call the police..." The nanny slid to her knees on the ground. "I sold the stamps, really, I haven't sold them yet, they're at my house. I'll get them back right now and return the money to you, okay? Please don't call the police..."
...
This farce ended with the nanny, Cai, being arrested by the police on charges of theft after repaying the money.
Old Master Zhao sat exhausted on the sofa. He took off his reading glasses and wiped his face. "My reputation in this life was almost ruined because of this woman."
"Grandpa," Wenjiu couldn't help but say, "you should be more rational. Stop believing in those ridiculous romantic love stories. Protecting your money is the only right thing to do."
"Sigh, you're right." Old Master Zhao sighed. "Little Jiu, thanks to you... and your mother, I've seen the true colors of this woman."
“I’m getting old, and besides a little money, I don’t have anything else to give you,” said Old Master Zhao, getting up and going to his room. He took out a savings book with 20 million yuan and gave it to Wen Jiu. “Take this.”
Wen Jiu was dumbfounded.
[Seriously?! Why is everyone giving me money?! If I didn't know I was just cannon fodder in this world, I'd almost think I was the darling heroine!]
What cannon fodder?
Grandpa Zhao coughed lightly, "You and your mother helped your grandfather find his beloved painting, and you also helped him see that woman's true colors. Consider this my way of repaying you."
"Yes, Xiao Jiu, you should keep it," Su's mother said with a smile.
[Eh? I didn't do anything? Why is Grandpa repaying me?]
[But since Grandpa gave me this money, I'll accept it. After all, if the Su family goes bankrupt in the future, I can use the money I've saved to help my parents and brothers. Of course, that is, if my brothers don't target me because of Su Miaomiao.]
Is she targeting Su Miaomiao because of Su Miaomiao?
Grandpa Zhao frowned. "Xiao Jiu, I heard you've suffered a lot these past years. Now that your grandpa is here to protect you, don't worry. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell your grandpa, and he'll teach them a lesson!"
"Thank you, Grandpa! Grandpa is so kind." Wenjiu smiled, her eyes crinkling.
My grandpa is so good to me! I hope he lives a long and healthy life!
Grandpa Zhao beamed with joy.
This little wine is such a good child.
Hearing this, Su's mother felt a pang of sadness.
Why does Xiao Jiu only wish for her grandfather to live a long life and not for herself?
She gave more than her grandfather did...
——
Grandpa Zhao delivered the warm wine and then got into the car with Su's mother and daughter and left.
"Xiaojiu, do you like your grandpa or your mom?" Su's mother said in a sour tone.
"I like them all." Wen Jiu fiddled with the bankbook in her hand. She had gained a lot from this trip through the book, hahaha!
Now she has so much money!
"So who do you like more?" Su's mother asked sourly.
"Of course I love Mom the most! Mom is the best mom in the world!" Wen Jiu rushed into Su's mother's arms, hugging her waist and tilting her head in her mother's arms.
"I'm rich, I'm rich! I have so much money now! In my previous life, I worked like a slave for capitalists. I couldn't even imagine it."
After so many hard times, I finally have a happy ending. My parents and grandpa are all so kind to me. Wow, what a wonderful life this is!
[I used to dream of conquering the world, but now I just want to comfortably live a good life, coasting on my money and doing nothing. *sobs*]
[How about I go on a vacation? I've never traveled before, let alone abroad. I've never even left my province in China. What a waste of my life!]
Upon hearing this, Su's mother felt even more sorry for Wen Jiu. She gently patted Wen Jiu's back and asked, "Little Jiu, would you like to go on a trip?"
Wenjiu nodded. "Yes, I do."
Could it be that my mom and I are on the same wavelength? I was thinking about going out, and my mom immediately asked if I wanted to go out too, haha! We're so in sync!
"Xiao Jiu, would you like to go to Malaysia?" Su's mother suggested. "Your older brother is doing business there. He won't be able to come home until he finishes his project, which will probably be about ten days. If you go there for a trip, your older brother can take care of you a bit, and the two of you can come back together later."
