Chapter 559: Chapter 560: Her Plan is Hijacked by Gu Qichen
“Upon seeing Xia Yangyang.
Xia Weiwei wishes she could tear her apart.
Today is her birthday.
And she had the audacity to pull such a stunt.
If it wasn’t for Gu Qichen saving the day, Xia Weiwei wouldn’t know how to deal with the situation.
But there was a silver lining, I guess.
Four years have passed, Gu Qichen must no longer have any love left for Xia Yangyang.
All he has now must be resentment and bitterness.
Xia Weiwei intentionally walked up to Gu Qichen.
Her eyes filled with tears, looking pitiful: “I truly thank you for what you did just now, without you, I wouldn’t know what to do.”
When finished, she shot a glance in Xia Yangyang’s direction: “My sister is really merciless, embarrassing me in front of so many people…I’m the victim here, I had no idea the painting was a fake. I’m so thankful for you.”
Gu Qichen gave Xia Weiwei a casual glance and said: “I know.”
Xia Yangyang admitted that she really couldn’t stand by and watch anymore.
She turned around to leave.
Liu Ruyan started cleaning up the mess and dealing with various media interviews.
The piece of chocolate cake she just ate seemed to be stuck uncomfortably in her stomach.
There was a door leading to a small balcony next to the banquet hall.
Xia Yangyang chose to open the door and step out.
The night breeze was slightly cool.
But it separated her from the inside chaos, and Xia Yangyang felt a bit clearer.
The reason why she exposed Xia Weiwei in public was to reveal Xia Weiwei’s true face, and more importantly, to make Liu Ruyan and Xia Weiwei believe that her return this time was to avenge the past, hiding her real intention.
Moreover, according to Xia Yangyang’s understanding of Liu Ruyan.
The more ruthless she was, the tighter Liu Ruyan would keep her by her side.
This woman was used to controlling and monitoring.
That’s exactly what Xia Yangyang wanted.
Xia Yangyang initially planned to create some smoke screen, but she didn’t expect it to be ruined by Gu Qichen.
She had even invested a lot in it.
A few days ago, when Xia Yangyang read in the newspaper that Xia Weiwei’s birthday party was going to auction the painting ‘Washing Silk Picture’, she knew that the painting to be auctioned by Xia Weiwei must be a fake.
The real painting was in Gao Huizhi’s study for three years. Earlier this year, Xia Ye suddenly showed interest in traditional Chinese painting.
Gao Huizhi directly gave her the ‘Washing Silk Picture’ along with several other famous paintings.
So, Xia Yangyang contacted Sotheby auction house in advance.
Timing it well, she had the painting auctioned today.
She invested a lot, just to expose Xia Weiwei’s trail.
“Xia Yangyang, you treacherous woman, you’ve come back to retaliate against me.”
Xia Weiwei’s voice can be heard from behind.
Xia Yangyang turned around to see a face twisted with hatred.
That’s the Xia Weiwei she knew.
Xia Yangyang, however, smiled: “Weiwei, you’re misunderstanding me. I was helping you just now.”
Xia Weiwei was furious, “Helping me? Xia Yangyang, do you think I would believe your lies?”
“Weiwei, you see, the painting you were selling was fake, it would be exposed sooner or later. Once it was sold and then exposed, it would be real fraud. This crime would lead to a prison sentence. Thus, I had to expose it, at most you lose some money and apologize, avoiding prison. Isn’t that help?”
Xia Weiwei could not believe any of it: “Xia Yangyang, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. Four years ago, you almost had me jailed. Now you’re trying the same trick again. However, I am not the same Xia Weiwei as before.”
