Chapter 689: Chapter 689: The Most Precious Painting_1
After Huang ngchang’s accident, his parents, daughter, and ex-wife rushed over one after another to handle his affairs.
His parents also understood the details of the matter and were infuriated at Dou Tingting’s actions, yet they were powerless to do anything.
Huang ngchang’s daughter was the only bloodline of their family. Apart from the portion left for their own retirent, the rest of their wealth, including the mansion and all the belongings within, was left for Huang ngchang’s ex-wife and daughter.
For Huang ngchang’s ex-wife, this mansion bore no happy mories, so she sold it for a low price and moved to another place with her daughter.
After Huang ngchang emotionally finished recounting his story, he shook his head in a daze and said, "Tingting, all you had to do was ask and those paintings would have been yours. Why did you have to lie? Do you know that the most valuable painting was one you’ve never seen? I actually intended to surprise you with it on our wedding night, but you ended up giving
such a shock."
Qin Sisi watched Huang ngchang coolly. His misery was indeed sowhat pitiful, but she didn’t feel any sympathy.
In her eyes, this pitiful man brought his suffering upon himself.
While Huang ngchang rambled on about his story, Ye You hopped off Qin Sisi’s shoulder. He paced around the basent in feline strides.
It seed like he had discovered sothing. He jumped back onto Qin Sisi’s shoulder and owed several tis at her.
Qin Sisi slightly raised her eyebrows and said to Huang ngchang, "From what you’ve said, the most precious painting hasn’t been discovered by anyone. If I’m not wrong, you intended to give
that painting, right?"
Huang ngchang’s expression changed, he asked nervously, "Didn’t you say you didn’t want it?"
Qin Sisi gave a slight smile and replied, "I don’t want what you’re giving away, but if I find it myself, then it’s mine."
"You..." Huang ngchang was so infuriated he couldn’t articulate his words. But soon, he huffed and mumbled, "Finding the painting I hid won’t be that easy."
Qin Sisi ignored Huang ngchang and turned her attention towards Ye You.
Ye You jumped back to the ground, took a few steps forward, coincidentally stopping at the exact spot where Huang ngchang had sobbed earlier.
Huang ngchang instantly tensed up, and his inner panic was apparent despite his seasoned exterior.
Qin Sisi stepped over to Ye You and crouched down to watch him closely as he searched for the painting.
Ye You paced the area unhurriedly. Finally, he settled on a floor tile.
When Huang ngchang renovated the basent, he used high-grade, waterproof and moisture-resistant marbles for the tiles, making them exceptionally hard.
Ye You lifted his claw, a faint light emanating from it. He used it to cut around the periter of the tile before placing his paw on it, a green light seeping from his paw, resembling a net that wrapped around the tile.
Ye You’s gaze hardened. With a sudden force, he heaved up the heavy marble tile.
Huang ngchang stood by, flabbergasted. It was no wonder that this female mage claid to be capable of fulfilling any wish; a small little cat exhibited such amazing power, its owner must indeed be an unassumingly extraordinary person.
The underneath of the tile was indeed hollow with a rectangular tal box stow away inside.
Despite having been kept in the moist and dim basent, there wasn’t a hint of rust on the box.
Qin Sisi retrieved the box with delight. However, the box was locked and a tiny combination lock was attached to it.
Qin Sisi was not surprised. Given the treasure’s value, several layers of security were to be expected.
After an initial feeling of tension and astonishnt, Huang ngchang had slowly regained his composure. He calmly announced, "Without the password, it won’t open. If you enter the wrong password three tis in a row, the box will self-destruct."
Qin Sisi stood up, looked at Huang ngchang, and said, "State your terms."
Huang ngchang gave a bleak chuckle, and softly said, "You’re clearly not willing to let
go. I have nothing to say."
After reflecting for a mont, Qin Sisi asked, "Don’t you have a daughter?"
"Yes, what do you want to do?" His eyes ignited with anger, believing that Qin Sisi intended to threaten him using his only daughter.
Qin Sisi gave him an indifferent glance, then sternly replied, "Most of the wealth you will leave behind will belong to your daughter. If she does not possess the necessary skills, then this inheritance could more likely be a curse than a blessing to her. You would, of course, like for her to have a rather happy life, right?"
Huang ngchang was silent for a long ti, finally saying, "I hope she is emotionally strong and as skilled as
in the business world. And I hope her future husband is a good man, unlike ."
Qin Sisi then turned to look at Ye You. Seeing him slightly nod, she replied, "That can be arranged. I would need your daughter’s na and birth information."
Huang ngchang thought for a mont before telling Qin Sisi the required information.
Qin Sisi committed it to mory before looking back at Huang ngchang and asks, "So the password?"
With a resigned sigh, Huang ngchang mumbled out a series of numbers.
Qin Sisi imdiately set to work on the combination lock, entering the familiar numbers. With a "click
