Chapter 96 Going to Make Friends
Tu Yao thought for a moment, then shook her head: "More than that, it has to be a lost item that everyone knows about."
"Families like theirs seem to value reputation and dignity."
Tu Yao thought of Wei Tai from before, "If we know that this item is lost, the best way to save face is to have Lin Qiuping return it to its rightful owner."
Moreover, since this auction is being held in the name of charity, there can be no mistakes whatsoever.
Lin Jing stared at her in shock, and the next second, unable to contain his excitement, he suddenly stood up.
"Yes...yes! You're right!"
“Those people in high society value their reputation the most. If they knew that the painting had been stolen, they would definitely return it!”
"Lin Qiuping is a bully who preys on the weak. If the Jiang family can intervene, he definitely won't dare to make any underhanded moves!"
He paced back and forth quickly: "So our top priority now is to make a big fuss and let everyone know that the painting is missing?!"
"I have an account, I have over 100,000 followers, I'll post on Weibo right now!"
At this moment, Lin Yue calmly interjected, "But it's just a painting; it might not attract much attention."
Lin Jing froze instantly as he took out his phone.
That's right, in the end it's just a painting...
Moreover, his account was not very active. The director initially chose him because he was good-looking.
Tu Yao rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment: "...What about those paintings he used to give as gifts? Did he admit to stealing them?"
Lin Jing immediately retorted angrily, "Of course not! He'll never admit it! We've tried contacting those people over the years, but they're already in cahoots with Lin Qiuping. They've even attacked us a few times, those paintings..."
As he spoke, Lin Jing's voice grew softer and softer...
As if realizing something, she suddenly turned to look at Tu Yao, opened her mouth, and said, "You mean..."
Tu Yao chuckled: "The theft of one painting is a small matter, but if it happens many times, it becomes a big deal."
...
Lin Jing swallowed hard, his throat suddenly dry, and subconsciously looked at Lin Yue.
Their eyes met, and they both saw shock and an irrepressible glimmer of hope in each other's eyes.
Tu Yao seemed oblivious, continuing to think as she spoke:
"If the Jiang family takes the lead, those people will probably choose to return the items to their rightful owners."
"People who come together for mutual benefit will soon be separated by the same interest. Besides, they've lost face because of this incident, so they can't come to you, they can only come to Lin Qiuping."
“There are only two of you, you can’t beat him, but if you dismantle the network he has built up over the years and cut off his path to advancement, your chances of winning will be greater.”
"But we also need to be careful that he doesn't do anything rash, so you have to make a big scene... But how big of a scene? Ten paintings don't seem to be enough..."
Tu Yao thought quickly: "Oh...you were a guest on the show before, so you can take advantage of the show's popularity, but you should tell the director before you do."
"By the way, when you're making a scene, remember to pretend you don't know where this painting was sent."
In this way, the Jiang family became the victim, and by maintaining the other party's dignity, the other party would slip a little bit of goodwill through their fingers that was insignificant to them but crucial to Lin Yue and Lin Jing.
"Hmm... in military strategy, this is called... what's it called again?"
Tu Yao waved her hand: "I forgot!"
Anyway, anything you can't find is called Tu Xiaomao's Art of War!
The two clenched their teeth tightly, and Lin Jing's eyes were already red.
They never imagined that the problem that had plagued them for so many years would be solved so easily on an ordinary afternoon.
She taught them almost step by step!
Lin Jing's throat tightened slightly: "Sister..."
Tu Yao pretended not to see it, stood up, patted her trouser leg, and said, "Okay, I've been out for too long. If I don't go back soon, my brother will scold me."
He took two steps, then stepped back and squatted down in front of Lin Yue.
Lin Yue subconsciously looked up, his bloodshot eyes meeting her clear gaze, his voice slightly hoarse: "What..."
Tu Yao said earnestly, "I really don't hate you."
I'm actually a little envious...
"Don't go looking for a fight anymore. If this method doesn't work, I'll think of another one."
After saying that, he glanced at the time and quickly ran away!
The corridor was silent, with only the two of them remaining, lingering on, processing the inner turmoil and exhilaration.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Jing glanced around and noticed the drawing board on the stone steps before subconsciously speaking up.
"My sister forgot to take her painting with her."
Lin Yue glanced at the painting and was instantly struck by the bright smile that greeted him.
He closed his sore eyes briefly: "...I'll deliver it."
...
Tu Yao rushed upstairs, but she was still almost an hour later than usual.
Tu Chaoxi stopped him directly and questioned him with a dark face: "Tu Xiaomao, where have you been?"
Feeling a bit tired from the brainstorming session, Tu Yao slammed her head on his shoulder and mumbled:
"...went to make friends."
Tu Chaoxi quickly put her arm around the person, "Make friends?"
Is making friends really this tiring? It's like the power went out.
He patted her head: "That's good. At this age, you should make more friends."
His sister is eighteen years old and only has two friends, one of whom is sick and the other is mentally challenged. That's really too few.
"Wait! Something's not right!"
Thinking of something, he quickly called her back: "Wait a minute! It's only been a short time, and you've already made friends?"
"What kind of friends do you have? Where did you meet them? Are they reliable? Are they male or female?"
Tu Yao yawned: "No, he seems a little reluctant to be friends with me."
I don't really like her that much.
But he also cares a lot about whether she likes him or not.
He pretended not to want to see her and tried to get rid of her, but if she had actually left, he might have been even more upset.
It was a strange yet familiar feeling. If the progress bar hadn't remained stationary, she might have thought he was her third brother.
"...But it's okay."
Tu Yao said earnestly, "I like his grandma."
Even Nan Ke, who was in the hospital bed, looked over.
Tu Chaoxi exclaimed in disbelief, "What utter nonsense!"
"Is there anyone in this world who won't be your friend?"
He immediately retorted, "Give me his contact information, I'll go ask him. My sister is loved by everyone, and he..."
Tu Yao got up groggily and saw a boy holding a drawing board at the door, looking at her with a deep gaze.
She was startled and quickly covered Tu Chaoxi's mouth, "Don't say anything, brother!"
Tu Chaoxi said in a muffled but self-righteous voice, "Why won't you say it?!"
"Who's so blind? I'm going to ask them!"
Tu Yao: ...
He's at the door!
