Shen Li narrowed her eyes.
It wasn't long before Mr. Yu left, and the Yu family should be in a mess right now, why did Yu Yu call her at this time
In the quiet and empty room, the bell rang over and over again tirelessly, with some unspeakable stubbornness, as if if she didn't answer, the other party would keep calling.
Shen Li finally clicked on the connection.
Yu Yu's voice came:
"Shen Li?"
Shen Li said calmly, "Is there something wrong?"
Hearing her voice, the anger and resentment that had been suppressed for a long time surged up in Yuyu's heart instantly!
She clenched her phone tightly and smiled angrily:
"Are you still embarrassed to ask? Isn't it all thanks to you that I have become like this now!? You are very happy and proud, right?"
"I don't care what you are like." Shen Li's attitude was extremely cold, "If you are calling this just to say these things, then hang up."
"you!"
Yu Yu was extremely annoyed.
If it wasn't for Shen Li, how could she have fallen to such a state!
But now, she is still acting like this is nothing to do with herself!
In Yu Yu's view, this is naked disdain and contempt!
She took a deep breath:
"I want to see you. I'll give you half an hour to come to Building 2 of Beijing Yeshuyuan."
The tone was firm, as if giving an order, and no disobedience was allowed.
Because it was too absurd, Shen Li laughed directly.
"Yu Yu, do you know what you're talking about?"
"Of course I know!"
Yu Yu was stimulated by her laugh, and her voice became much higher. From the corner of her eye, she saw the figure sitting next to her, and forcibly suppressed her anger.
"Shen Li, it's about this time, I'll just say something straight. The old man is dead, and the Yu family is hopeless, but I don't want to be dragged into the water! I'm calling you to make a deal with you .”
"Deal?" Shen Li asked back, "I don't know, what kind of capital does Er Miss Yu have now, to talk about 'deal' with me?"
As she spoke, she looked at the hand-painted piece in her hand again.
It seems that we should find a suitable time to have a good talk with Lu Huaiyu——
"I have a painting of your mother in my hand."
Yu Yu's voice came from the receiver,
"Come here if you want. If I don't see you within half an hour, I'll burn that painting to her."
Shen Li's face turned completely cold, and the brows and eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, the chill was piercing to the bones.
"Yu Yu, I advise you to think carefully before speaking, otherwise you won't know how you died in the end."
Her tone was extremely cold, and every word was like a knife's edge.
Yu Yu couldn't help shivering.
She has never seen such a Shen Li, it is really scary...
But she is now on the ropes.
She barely made her voice sound calm:
"Anyway, I've already finished talking. Believe it or not, if you think this deal is not worth it, then pretend that I never made this call!"
After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for Shen Li's answer.
Shen Li was lost in thought.
Gu Tingyin's paintings, except for the painting "Camellia" in Xijing Academy of Fine Arts, are basically treasured by the Gu family and Shen Zhijin.
It stands to reason that there shouldn't be paintings left outside.
But Yu Yu chose to use such an excuse.
Of course Shen Li understood that she wanted her to pass by by saying that, but—
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
At this time, Yu Yu came from Haicheng to the capital without saying a word, and even made this phone call to threaten her. Obviously, she was cornered.
Shen Li glanced at the time.
Three zero one.
In other words, she had to arrive at Jingye Villa before 3:30.
It was a group of villas on the outskirts of the capital, and if I remembered correctly, the Yu family had indeed purchased real estate there.
She looked down at the hand-painted sheet again.
After a while, she put it back in the book, got up and walked out.
When she came to the door, she looked back again.
The painting, as well as the two books, were quietly placed on the coffee table.
Lu Huaiyu obviously put them in the drawer under the coffee table on purpose - he was waiting for her to find out.
Between them, there are too many things to explain.
She took a deep breath and closed the door.
…
"It's over."
Yu Yu put down her phone, looked at Shi Yang,
"But I don't guarantee that she will come."
Shi Yang smiled faintly:
"She will come."
He had learned how much she cared about her mother.
So even if it was just a vague possibility, she would not give up.
Hearing what he said, Yu Yu couldn't help asking:
"Since you're so sure, why don't you call her yourself?"
Shi Yang paused, and his smile continued:
"I didn't say that, I don't like her very much. Coincidentally, she doesn't like me too much either. If it was me, things would be more troublesome."
Yu Yu frowned.
trouble
What trouble
But when she asked, Shi Yang didn't seem to bother to explain.
What's more, things have progressed to this point, and it's meaningless to say these things.
She looked around again.
This was in a restaurant, and there was a half-eaten cake in front of her.
Shi Yang looked at her for a while:
"Is this your first time here?"
A look of disgust flashed across Yu Yu's eyes:
"This is Yu Jing's house, how could I come here?"
Shi Yang laughed and said:
"Didn't he say that he will change you to another place to take care of your health? The environment here is good and quiet, and it's a very suitable place."
Yu Yu didn't speak.
If it wasn't for her helplessness, she wouldn't have been swayed by Yu Jing like this!
But it's too late to say anything now.
She suddenly thought of something, looked at Shi Yang:
"When she comes later and sees you, I don't know what her reaction will be."
Shi Yang didn't answer her words, but changed the subject.
"Actually, I need a little help from you later."
…
Shen Li drove to Jingye Villa.
Because it is going to the suburbs, there are not many cars on the road.
She drives very fast.
Finally, her car stopped in front of a three-story single-family villa.
She got out of the car and went to ring the doorbell.
The door was quickly opened, and a haggard and pale face appeared behind the door.
Yu Yu.
Shen Li's eyes narrowed slightly.
But it's only been a while since we saw each other, and Yu Yu seems to be a completely different person.
She had lost a lot of weight, she was skinny, her complexion was very bad, her eye sockets were sunken, and her eyes were black and blue.
There is no trace of the elegance and refinement of the past.
She vaguely guessed something:
"Are you on drugs?"
Yu Yu stared at her firmly, and it took a lot of effort to restrain herself from raising her hand to slap her across the face.
Hearing her voice, Yu Yu sneered as if hearing some joke.
"Isn't this what you want? Why pretend at this time?"
Shen Li has no interest in these.
"Where are my mother's paintings?"
Yu Yu turned around and walked in, while Shen Li stood at the door without moving.
Yu Yu looked back:
"You can paint if you want, at least let me see your sincerity."
…
Rongyue Mansion.
Lu Huaihe pressed the password, opened the door and entered.
"Ali?"
No answer.
Lu Huai raised his eyebrows slightly.
He'd come back as fast as he could, or—didn't catch up
He walked in with the candy box.
He also said to give her candy by the way...
Suddenly, his footsteps stopped, and his whole body seemed to be nailed in place.
On the coffee table in the living room, there is a painting, and—
two books.
