Chapter 136: He Is Here for a Painting!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Time passed by so quickly.

The entire day's lessons were over very quickly. Xue Xi then used the self-study class to finish her homework. After school, all she stuffed into her bag was an English professional vocabulary book that she could read on the way to the auction.

The charity banquet was being held in a six-star high-end hotel in Bin City. By the time Xue Xi came, many people had arrived.

Xue Xi followed Ye Li. Just as she alighted and was about to enter, she heard a voice. "Sister-in-law!"

Liu Yiqiu walked over from the side. She was dressed up like a noble lady and was supporting Old Lady Xue. When she walked over, Liu Yiqiu complained, "Sister-in-law, although we're separated, we're still relatives. Why did I get stopped when I went to your neighborhood? I can only wait for you guys here."

Ye Li, who kept a low profile, disliked the way the other was dressed. She said coldly, "What's the matter?"

Liu Yiqiu smiled. "When I heard that you were going to attend the charity banquet, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to contribute anything, so I prepared an item for you."

She took out a box from her bag and passed it to Ye Li. "There's a diamond brooch inside. It's worth 200,000 yuan. Take this and auction it."

Old Lady Xue snorted. "Ye Li, you should learn from your younger sister-in-law more. You should prioritize the big picture and see how virtuous she is."

Virtuous?

Wasn't she just planning to make Ye Li owe her a favor that she'd need to return?

What was there for Ye Li not to understand? All Liu Yiqiu was after was their help to introduce Lu Chao to Xue Yao.

Ye Li felt that the two women in front of her were simply hopeless. However, she had become a little smarter now and knew that it was impossible to give a direct answer. Hence, she decided to give them some benefits first before getting back more benefits. She really did not forget to look for opportunities at all times!

She pushed the brooch back. "I don't need this. We've already prepared an item for the auction tonight."

Liu Yiqiu paused. "You have?"

Her gaze swept past the two of them and landed on the long box Ye Li was holding. "What is that?"

Before Ye Li could reply, Liu Yiqiu had already guessed it. "A painting? One you drew?"

Seeing that Ye Li did not deny it, Liu Yiqiu instantly smiled. "Sister-in-law, are you going to use your own painting for the auction? Are you kidding me? Don't you know that your painting can only be sold for 50 yuan? Are you planning to donate 50 yuan to the charity ball?"

Ye Li walked past her. "We're already separated. No matter how much I donate, it has nothing to do with you."

Old Lady Xue berated, "So what if we're separated? Doesn't your surname belong to the Xue family? Even though we're separated, Xue Sheng is still my son! I'm still his mother! This is a blood relationship that cannot be broken!"

Liu Yiqiu hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, if you don't listen to me and the auction doesn't go well, the Xue family will lose face!"
