C167 Then You Can Write an Iou
"Is that so? Then I will open it and take a look. " Lee Birou suspiciously took the painting from Yun Xintian's hands and did not know if it was real or fake. She opened it to take a look and found out.
After opening it, a painting of ink and water appeared in front of her. The painting was on the side of the pond. Lotus flowers bloomed and fish swam in the pond.
The painting brush was casual and unrestrained, very similar to Tao Yuan Jie's style. Lee Birou was not sure if it was true or not, so she handed it to Lin Ye, "Hubby, take a look. Is this painting real or fake?"
Lin Ye took the painting and carefully looked at it for a while. He cast a sidelong glance at Yun Xintian and took back the painting, saying, "This is indeed Mr Tao's painting. You are really considerate. "
"Uncle and auntie, as long as you are happy. " Yun Xintian replied obediently.
Lin Ze heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He hugged Yun Xintian and sat on the opposite sofa. He said softly, "See, Mom and Dad will not make things difficult for you. "
Yun Xintian smiled weakly and did not say anything.
Lee Birou saw her son flirting with another woman secretly and was unhappy in her heart. She thought of something and said, "Miss Yun, I heard that you are Yun Yiming's illegitimate daughter. Now, your father divorced his ex-wife and is now living with your mother, right?"
When she heard the words illegitimate daughter, Yun Xintian's expression turned ugly for a moment. She silently endured the unhappiness in her heart and weakly replied, "Yes. "
"Then where do you live now?" Lee Birou continued to ask.
"My parents and I live in the apartment in Huayuan District. " Yun Xintian forced a smile.
"The apartment? A small place where many people rent and buy houses?" Lee Birou's eyes revealed disdain. Why did her son want this kind of woman who had no reputation and could not be beneficial to him in work?
Seeing Yun Xintian's pale face, Lin Ze's eyes revealed a look of heartache. He frowned. He said somewhat reproachfully, "Mom, how can you say that?"
"Did I say something wrong? Why are you so protective of her?" This was the first time Lee Birou was dissatisfied with her son's attitude. This was the first time her gentle and cultured son had spoken to her like this.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ze did not speak anymore. He only held Yun Xintian's hand tightly.
Yun Xintian looked at Lee Birou's unhappy face and then looked at the not-so-good looking Lin Ze. She comforted him. "Ze, don't talk to Auntie like that. Auntie is right. "
Lin Ze looked at Yun Xintian and felt ashamed when he heard her.
Lee Birou saw that her son had heard the words of this fox before and her expression became even more unhappy. After thinking for a while, she said, "Miss Yun, I wonder what your father and mother are doing right now?"
Yun Xintian's face turned pale for a while and she lightly gritted her teeth to control her emotions. She squeezed out a smile and said, "My father plans to find a general manager job after the New Year and my mother will be a housewife at home. "
"Oh, that means that your parents do not have a job now?" Lee Birou's eyes revealed disdain and her tone was full of ridicule.
"Sort of. " Yun Xintian forcefully replied and her face looked as if she was slapped but she did not know how to reply.
Lee Birou cast a sidelong glance at Yun Xintian and laughed lightly. It was as she had expected. She then turned her head and asked Lin Ye, "Hubby, what is the current market price for Mister Tao's paintings?"
Lin Ye casually replied, "At least a few million. "
"So expensive. " Lee Birou replied. After a pause, she looked at Yun Xintian again and said with a face full of doubt, "Miss Yun, did you really buy this painting? It's a few million. Your parents don't even have a job?"
Yun Xintian's face alternated between green and white. She lightly bit her lips and forcefully said, "Yes. "
"Then may I ask Miss Yun, where did the money come from?" Lee Birou took a step forward and asked. If she could believe that this was the painting she bought, then it would be like seeing a ghost.
Yun Xintian looked at Lin Ze as if she was asking for help. Seeing his eyes, she replied, "I borrowed it from a friend. "
Lee Birou sneered and said, "Which friend did I borrow it from? Or was it from my son?"
Yun Xintian's hidden hands were tightly clenched and her nails dug deep into her palms. Madam Lin was deliberately making things difficult for her.
"Mom, why are you talking to Xintian like this? Xintian must have borrowed another friend. She wanted to give you the paintings but why are you still making things difficult for her?" Lin Ze looked embarrassed. He felt terrible when he saw Xintian's aggrieved look.
"I was just casually asking. Why did I ask Miss Yun?" Lee Birou said unhappily. This silly son of hers was reluctant to part with a woman when he saw that she was weak. He might not even know that he was cheated.
"Ze, Auntie didn't make things difficult for me. Don't contradict her. " Yun Xintian was very unhappy in her heart, but she still held Lin Ze's hand.
"Did you really borrow this painting from your friend?" Lin Ye looked at the painting in his hand and looked at it with an oppressive gaze. He did not allow her to have the chance to lie.
He also hated this man whom his son had brought back. At that time, they had only let him go because they thought he was just playing with them. They had never thought that he would bring her home now. What was the use of marrying such a man with no status?
Yun Xintian was forced by those extremely oppressive eyes to the bottom of her heart. It was as if everything in her heart had been seen through, causing her to not dare lie. She bit her lips and said, "This painting is indeed paid by Ze, but I will return the money to him. "
"Ha, Miss Yun is really good at borrowing money to offer Buddha. Using my son's money to buy the painting for us is really a joke!" Lee Birou said mockingly. She had seen this kind of woman many times.
"Mom! Don't make things difficult for Xintian anymore, okay? Why do you have to make things so unpleasant for the New Year?" Lin Ze's heart was filled with anger. He thought that his parents would treat Xintian better after he agreed to bring her back, but since he brought Xintian in, he had been making things difficult for her.
"Did I make things unhappy? I just asked clearly, what did I say wrong?" Lee Birou got angry. This son of hers was really stupid!
"Didn't you say it was to make things difficult for her? It is almost enough!" Lin Ze replied.
"Ze! Is this how you talk to your mother?!" Lin Ye said sternly. His son actually spoke in such a manner because of a woman. This was simply unreasonable!
Lin Ze clenched his fist and said patiently. "Sorry, Mom. "
Seeing this situation, Yun Xintian was happy that Lin Ze protected her, but she still showed an apologetic face and said, "I'm sorry. Uncle and auntie, it was I who made you unhappy. I will think of a way to collect money for this painting and return it to Ze. "
Lee Birou looked at Yun Xintian and secretly disdained, "Is that so? Then you can write an IOU!"
As she spoke, Lee Birou took out a piece of paper and pen and handed them to Yun Xintian on the table in front of her. She was afraid that her son was too stupid and would be played around by a woman who was greedy for wealth and wealth. In the end, he would even suffer a loss! It was obvious that this was a scheming woman.
If she had been able to enter the Yun family back then and had helped them, it would have been fine. But now, even if she couldn't enter, she still had to leave the family. There was no need for her to let such a woman stay by her son's side.
