Chapter 288 Who exactly is taking pictures of the painting?
My heart sank.
Qin Huaiyu stared intently in Qin Feng's direction, his muscles tense, every pore betraying his nervousness.
Her brain was racing, trying to figure out why Qin Feng would seek out Yi Cui.
For some reason, he had a bad feeling.
Qin Feng didn't keep anyone in suspense and succinctly stated his purpose.
"Here's the thing, we received information that the jewelry auctioned by the Qin family this time was switched, and what you have now is very likely a fake."
For your benefit, I hope you can cooperate with me to have the jewelry you purchased re-appraised.
Of course, if it really is a counterfeit product that has been switched out, Qin's Company will not sit idly by and will definitely give you an explanation.
Irithyt never expected things to turn out this way.
Without even thinking, I immediately agreed.
After all, her money didn't grow on trees; those few pieces of jewelry cost her over 30 million.
If it weren't for the task assigned to her by her family, she wouldn't normally have such a large sum of money to squander.
It's important to know that her family is only moderately wealthy, and she only receives a million yuan in pocket money each month, which is only given to her when she behaves well.
Therefore, she couldn't afford the amount of thirty million, and immediately wanted Qin Feng to do things according to his wishes.
"Eri!"
Qin Huaiyu's urgent voice rang in Yi Cui's ears. Turning her head, she saw that Qin Huaiyu looked anxious, and the panic in his eyes could not be hidden.
Yi Cui was startled and couldn't understand why Qin Huaiyu was reacting so strongly.
Qin Huaiyu took a deep breath and looked at Yi Cui with a sincere expression.
"I have something urgent to tell you. Can you come out with me for a moment?"
Yi Cui was somewhat confused, but when she met Qin Huaiyu's gaze, she glanced at Qin Feng, who was still standing to the side.
Qin Feng smiled professionally and said good-naturedly, "Miss Yi Cui, if you have something to do, you can go ahead and do it. I'm not in a hurry."
Yi Cui was flattered by the other party's accommodating manner, thinking that it must be because of Qin Huaiyu.
After all, with the Qin family's heir here, he, as a mere president's assistant, could only stand aside.
With that thought in mind, Yi Cui abandoned her previous hesitation and readily left with Qin Huaiyu.
In a quiet corner, Qin Huaiyu felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to start the conversation.
But the thought of the consequences of his fake jewelry being exposed made all his hesitation vanish instantly.
With his face filled with the same deep affection as always, plus a touch of guilt, he said to Yi Cui.
“Eri, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect the jewelry auction to go wrong and cause you trouble.”
Before Yi Cui could comfort him, he continued, "I was in charge of this auction. If it turns out there really is a problem, my dad will be very disappointed in me."
So, could I ask you for a favor?
Under Yi Cui's questioning gaze, Qin Huaiyu said, "Could you help me cover up this jewelry incident and say that there's nothing wrong with the jewelry?"
Qin Huaiyu then added, "I will make it up to you in other ways, you can trust me!"
After all these days, don't you understand my feelings for you?
Yi Cui thought of Qin Huaiyu's identity and Qin Feng's respectful (business-like) demeanor.
I think this is a good opportunity.
If he helped Qiu Man, not only would she be indebted to him, but their relationship would also grow closer.
Moreover, although 30 million is a large sum of money for her, it's just a drop in the ocean for the Crown Prince of the Qin family.
I definitely wouldn't cheat her.
Qin Huaiyu cared about his image in front of his father; he believed that as long as he helped the other party, he would definitely reap the benefits in the future.
After quickly analyzing the pros and cons, Yi Cui immediately agreed.
Seeing Qin Huaiyu's grateful expression after he relaxed, Yi Cui felt that she had made the right bet.
The two returned to their seats, where Qin Feng had been waiting for a long time.
Yi Cui directly followed Qin Huaiyu's instructions, stating that there was nothing wrong with the jewelry, that she did not need any explanation or compensation from the Qin family, and that she had no intention of cooperating with the Qin family's investigation.
Qin Feng was not surprised by this answer.
But he still looked surprised, frowned, and after a moment, handed over a document that he had prepared beforehand.
"If Miss Yi has thought it through, please sign this document to indicate that Qin will no longer be responsible for any problems that may arise with the jewelry in her possession."
When Yi Cui saw the document, she was somewhat surprised and secretly sighed that it was indeed worthy of the Qin family, as they had considered everything so thoroughly.
This level of foresight is truly befitting of a large company.
They even prepared these documents in advance, even though they'll hardly ever use them.
Does the Qin family always have several plans prepared for everything, just in case?
Yi Cui signed the document swiftly, and Qin Feng left.
Qin Huaiyu finally relaxed completely after seeing the other party disappear from the venue.
His back was already soaked with sweat.
Only then did they have time to consider the information Qin Feng brought: how did the Qin family know that the jewelry had been switched?
How much do they know? Have Xu Yanxin's other counterfeit goods been exposed?
It seems we need to hurry up and get rid of the other counterfeit goods as soon as possible.
Once the items are disposed of, they'll have no evidence even if they have suspicions.
Only when there's no way to prove it when he's dead can he be completely at ease.
Qin Huaiyu had a good idea, but he didn't consider whether he would be given another chance to sell the stolen goods.
Seeing that Yi Cui was completely unaware and kept in the dark by Qin Huaiyu, Xu Yanxin couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.
She seemed to see herself in the same light, as if she had been deceived in the past.
However, this was Yi Cui's own choice, and she would not do anything unnecessary, nor would she be overly sentimental.
Xu Yanxin didn't even bother to glance at Qin Huaiyu's relieved expression.
His disdain was practically overflowing from his eyes.
The humiliation of being deceived like a fool finally began to subside.
Yuan Yangyang noticed Xu Yanxin's upset mood and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.
Then, looking at the oblivious Qin Huaiyu, he became even more eager for the show to come.
[Fool! Your greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Now you've lost the watermelon for a sesame seed. You'll regret it later!]
No, in the end, not even a sesame seed was left. He lost both his money and his life. My goodness, I'm starting to feel sorry for Qin Huaiyu!
You tell me, he played a winning hand terribly, what was the point!
I really want to see him reap what he sows right now!
Not only Yuan Yangyang thought so, but Xu Lengyu and the two Yuan brothers also shared the same idea.
Watching Qin Huaiyu shower Yi Cui with sweet talk while occasionally casting reassuring glances at Xu Yanxin, they felt that this man was beyond saving.
Does he think everyone else is blind, or does he think Xu Yanxin is stupid? His feelings for Yi Cui are so obvious, does he really think Xu Yanxin can't see it?
Xu Yanxin was clearly afraid of offending her eyes and didn't want to look at him.
Yuan Si'an reported the situation on the scene to the family group in real time, and the family members in the group were enjoying the gossip immensely.
Everyone was speechless at Qin Huaiyu's bizarre actions and didn't hold back in their criticism.
"What kind of peacock is this? It's not very intelligent, but it's quite bold. It wants both money and sex. It's really greedy!"
"How dare they bully the only daughter of the Qin family? They're in big trouble now. Everyone knows that President Qin hasn't remarried all these years so that his daughter won't be wronged."
"He really played a good hand badly. If Qin Huaiyu hadn't been so greedy, given his childhood sweetheart and boyfriend relationship with Xu Yanxin, he would have benefited from it in the future."
He wanted too much, and in the end, he got nothing.
"I really don't know how good Qin Huaiyu thinks of himself that he has grown such a big ambition. You know, without the Qin family, his mother, who is just a nanny, would not be able to provide him with the good life he has now."
"If Qin Huaiyu were truly intelligent, he wouldn't have treated Xu Yanxin that way."
After all, given how much President Qin dotes on his daughter, as long as Qin Huaiyu and his mother treat Xu Yanxin well, she has a good chance of soaring to great heights in the future.
"What a pity! His intentions were impure; he was destined to have opportunities that would never belong to him!"
"To make President Qin so angry that he personally digs a pit for this little minion, how can that not be considered a skill of his!"
"Compared to Qin Huaiyu, I suddenly realized that I had wronged Lao Si before. He's not actually that stupid."
"Second brother, I'm your own brother! (Groundhog screaming JPG)"
Seeing that Lao Si was furious and helpless in the group because of one sentence he said, Yuan Sixiao put away his phone in a very good mood.
During the second half of the auction, Xu Lengyu took a fancy to an ornament and eventually bought it, saying she wanted to put it in her older brother's office.
When Yuan Yangyang saw a piece of old rock tea, she thought of her father and bought it immediately.
As for whether this thing is good or not, she doesn't know; anyway, she has plenty of money.
Just as Yuan Yangyang was bored and eagerly waiting for the event to end, the sight of the exhibits with their silk cloths lifted made her pupils shrink.
[What's that? How did that painting get here? How is this possible?!]
Yuan Yangyang let out a scream like a groundhog in her heart, staring at the painting on the display stand in disbelief.
I blinked hard; it wasn't my imagination, the painting was still there.
Yuan Yangyang's unusual behavior was noticed by the others, who immediately followed suit and looked towards the exhibition stand.
On the stage is a watercolor painting, the technique of which is very naive.
According to staff, the items were exhibited by an orphanage to raise funds for the orphanage.
The person who painted this picture, as well as the main character in the picture, were both children in an orphanage, but now they have all grown up.
As she listened to the staff's explanation, Yuan Yangyang's expression grew increasingly strange.
Because, if she remembered correctly, the protagonist in this painting was none other than herself, Yuan Yangyang.
However, it wasn't the original owner of this body in this life, but rather a painting that someone else had drawn for her when she was in the orphanage before she transmigrated into the book.
The staff's description matches the actual situation of the painting very well.
But how is this possible?
How could a painting belonging to another world appear here?
Could it be that the painting, like her, also transmigrated into the book?
The painting has a starting bid of 50,000 yuan and is purely intended to encourage people to donate to the orphanage in this way.
I originally thought that everyone would just go through the motions and the transaction price wouldn't exceed 100,000 yuan, but I was surprised.
Such a unique and extraordinary painting has actually attracted a lot of people vying for it.
Yuan Yangyang stared intently at the painting on the stage, her eyes unblinking.
She held the bidding number tightly in her hand, waiting for the other party to call out the price before raising it again.
His mind was racing, and he kept guessing the identity of the other bidder.
But they had no clue what to do.
The person didn't show up; instead, they sent someone else to bid for them.
With neither side willing to back down, the painting, which started at 50,000, was driven up to 1 million.
Seeing that the other party showed no sign of giving up, Yuan Yangyang, aside from her initial annoyance, suddenly felt that it was all rather pointless.
Who cares where this painting came from? It doesn't matter.
She should just live her life as it is now; after all, she's just a painting anyway.
If the other party has too much money to burn, then just let them have it.
This lady is not playing along!
As for who took the picture, let whoever it is, I don't care!
Why waste brain cells on unimportant people? It's not worth it.
After Yuan Yangyang came to her senses, she stopped bidding, and the painting was eventually sold to the other party for 1.05 million yuan.
During this time, Yuan Sixiao thought she was worried about the money, so he directly stuffed a two million yuan card into her hand and told her to take as many pictures as she wanted.
However, Yuan Yangyang pocketed the money.
But she didn't want to photograph the painting anymore.
The auction ended quickly, and no further complications arose.
The staff brought over the items that everyone had won in the auction.
The jewelry that Yuan Si'an and Yuan Si'xiao purchased was immediately given to Yuan Yangyang by the two of them.
In addition, Yuan Yangyang photographed the old rock tea, and although she spent the least money, she became the one who gained the most among them.
Seeing this, Yi Cui was very envious.
It was only then that she realized that these two extraordinary-looking men were actually Yuan Yangyang's brothers.
Why wasn't she so lucky to be pampered by so many brothers?
Thinking of her little tyrant brother and the unequal treatment her parents gave the two children, Yi Cui felt even worse.
I don't know if it was just my imagination, but the jewelry in my hand looked duller and lost its luster.
Yi Cui's heart skipped a beat.
Just now, due to time constraints, Qin Huaiyu only said that he was worried that there might be something wrong with the jewelry, so he asked her to suppress the matter for the time being, but he did not say that the jewelry was definitely fake.
Moreover, she was so flattered and impulsive that she agreed.
I'm starting to regret it a little.
She looked at Qin Huaiyu, wanting to get a guarantee from him.
If it turns out to be fake, he'll have to compensate her.
"Brother Huaiyu, is this jewelry really fake?"
Qin Huaiyu was taken aback, thinking to himself that Yi Cui had changed her mind.
They quickly tried to comfort him.
He looked troubled and said, "I don't know the specifics either. Give me some time, and I'll tell you as soon as I figure it out."
Then he added, "Don't worry, just as I promised, if there really is a problem, I will definitely compensate you in other ways and won't let you suffer any losses."
Seeing the meaningful look in Qin Huaiyu's eyes, Yi Cui felt relieved.
The Crown Prince of the Qin family promised that if the jewelry was fake, he would make up for her loss in other ways.
What else could I possibly worry about?
Whether it's introducing projects to her company or directly compensating her for the cost of the jewelry, given the Qin family's strength, the price should be higher than the jewelry itself, so she can make a profit.
Qin Huaiyu, however, was thinking that he had sacrificed too much. In order to appease Yi Cui, he had even sacrificed himself.
It seems I'll have to ask his mother to cook him more tonics later; Xu Yanxin has plenty anyway.
He needs to take good care of himself so he can show his prowess and try to satisfy Yi Cui, which would be compensation for her loss of 30 million.
After all, Yi Cui is not short of money and likes him so much, she will definitely like his way of making amends.
Listening to Qin Huaiyu blatantly lying and shamelessly talking about making amends.
Yuan Yangyang and the others were speechless, feeling utterly dumbfounded.
Xu Yanxin didn't want to look at the other person even once, afraid that the other person would taint her eyes.
