136 Taking The Paintings
Qin Hong was threatened by Yu Han and hung up the phone. She was furious, but she inexplicably cared about what Yu Han said just now. Hence, she could only call Qin Yu and ask her what happened that day.
Under her interrogation, Qin Yu could only break down and tell her what had happened. Qin Hong was so frightened that she collapsed on the sofa and cried, “Why are you so stupid!”
“Mom, save me. I can’t be ruined like this!” Qin Yu thought of what Yu Han had said about Wei Wei’s fate. After running out of the set, she hurriedly called Wei Wei to verify if it was true. Unexpectedly, the person who picked up the phone was Wei Wei’s mother. The other party said that Wei Wei had been retaliated against by someone and her limbs’ tendons had been severed. Her face had been cut seven or eight times and she was hospitalized with wounds all over her body.
Qin Yu was so frightened that she immediately hung up the phone. She had heard Wei Wei mention a few things before. CEO Zhao’s wife had built their business by selling building materials back then. She had done many things to develop her business from a small hardware store to the current construction company. She was considered a ruthless person.
Therefore, although Zhao Bo had the guts to cheat with Wei Wei, he definitely didn’t dare to expose the matter to his wife. At that time, she thought that it was an exaggeration and a joke, but after hearing what happened to Wei Wei, Qin Yu was really afraid.
Even though she was one of the victims of that incident, she was afraid that Zhao Bo’s wife would be unreasonable and would rather kill the wrong person than let her off. Therefore, Qin Yu definitely couldn’t let that indecent video be leaked. Firstly, it was for her future, and secondly, it was to avoid ending up like Wei Wei.
However, Yu Han’s condition was to obtain all her inheritance. If she wanted to do it, she had to go through Qin Hong. That was because Qin Hong had secretly hidden those calligraphies and paintings after coaxing them from Yu Tian with flattery.
Right now, the only person who could save her was Qin Hong. Hence, even though Qin Yu felt especially embarrassed, she still felt that she had to be honest with Qin Hong.
Qin Hong had always been proud. She had always felt that the reason why she separated from Yu Tian back then and became an illegitimate mistress was because she had no money or status. Hence, she had always valued fame and fortune over the years. She had always planned to nurture Qin Yu into a socialite and use her to climb up the social ladder.
It could be said that Qin Hong had placed most of her hopes on Qin Yu. Hence, she would never allow Qin Yu to leave such a huge stain on herself. After a short moment of anger, she made a decision. “Let’s go and get the paintings back first!”
Although those paintings were very valuable and Qin Hong wanted to keep them as family heirlooms, they might not be able to protect their futures now. Therefore, even if her heart was bleeding, Qin Hong had no choice but to risk her life to take them out.
Qin Yu was delighted. “Where do you keep those paintings?”
Qin Hong took out the car key and went out. “I left it at your grandmother’s house. Let’s go and take them out now.”
When Qin Yu heard this, her heart skipped a beat. “Mom, are you sure that those paintings are still with Grandma?” Although her grandmother was quite reliable, she had an unreliable uncle. These paintings were so valuable. Wouldn’t he steal them and sell them?
Qin Hong was not worried. “Don’t worry. I hid the paintings in the cellar under your grandmother’s room. Your uncle doesn’t know about this. Moreover, he’s too lazy to even pour a glass of water. He never thought of going down to the cellar, so he shouldn’t have discovered it.”
However, Qin Yu was not so optimistic. Although her uncle was lazy, he was not stupid. Her grandmother was a woman who did not have many opinions. She was afraid that her grandma would tell him everything after he coaxed her with a few good words.
Reality proved that Qin Yu’s premonition was right. The two of them rushed to the countryside in the suburbs. Qin Hong had just parked the car when she saw her younger brother, Qin Gang, running out of the house with a drawing box. Her poor old mother was chasing after him anxiously. “Gang, your sister said that you can’t sell it!”
As Qin Gang ran, he did not forget to turn around and shout, “Mom, don’t worry. I’m just borrowing it to make some money. When I win the money back, I’ll immediately redeem the painting and put it back. I guarantee that Big Sister won’t know!”
“Stop!” How could Qin Hong not know what had happened when she heard their conversation?
In Qin Hong’s eyes, the painting that Qin Gang was carrying was not only money, but also the future of her and her daughter. Hence, she could not let Qin Gang take away the painting. Not even one painting!
When Qin Gang heard the voice, he stopped in his tracks. When he saw Qin Hong, he panicked for a moment. Then, he squeezed out a greasy smile. “Yo, isn’t this my Big Sister and elder niece? What rare guests. What are you guys doing here in the countryside?”
