Chapter 126: Difficult to Get a Ticket?

Xue Xi paused at this thought.

Ye Li and Night Li happened to be homophones in Chinese Could Night Li be her mother, Ye Li?

With this question in mind, Xue Xi took a cab home.

On the way, her phone vibrated. She picked it up and took a look. It was the Moguls Group.

Painter: Everyone, stop looking. I have news of Night Li.

Already?

Xue Xi was stunned. She had yet to ask!

Pianist: Where did you find them?

Painter: I met an old friend of theirs in Bin City. Sigh. Night Li passed away fifteen years ago.

Pianist: My condolences.

Painter: Looks like I have to look for someone else. Fortunately, I have organized a painting exhibition here. I hope to find some outstanding landscape painters.

Cen Bai: Bin City? Doesnt that mean shes in the same city as Sister Xi? @Learning.

Painter: Is the young lady interested in painting? If she is, she can come to the art exhibition.

Exhibition

This is Moms art exhibition, right?

Xue Xi hurriedly replied: Okay.

Painter: How many of you are coming? Ill give you an electronic ticket.

Xue Xi thought for a moment. At most four people. There might only be two who can come. Ill ask when I get home.

The moment this message was sent out, her phone rang and there was a new friend request.

Painter has added you as a friend through the Moguls Group. Note: I am hiding.

Xue Xi accepted his friend request and ignored the note he had given her. His contact name was: Painter.

Then, six ding sounds were heard as six electronic tickets were sent over.

Painter: Ill give you a few more. Its fine if you want to bring some friends over at the last minute.

Xue Xi instantly felt that this painter was very generous and replied: Thank you.

Painter: Hey, its my blessing to be able to get to know the young lady. Why are you being so polite when Im giving you just a few electronic tickets?

Xue Xi:

Although this person was not as ingratiating as someone who acted and another who played the piano, she could still feel that he was showing her kindness.

Xue Xi put down her phone and was quickly driven home.

When she entered the living room, Xue Xi realized that other than her maternal grandparents, Old Master Xue, Old Lady Xue, and Liu Yiqiu were also there.

When she entered, Old Lady Xue was speaking. Let Xue Xi introduce Lu Chao to Yaoyao. Its a waste not to use this kind of relationship. Getting to know Lu Chao will benefit our company.

Ye Li looked awkward. Mom, Xixi and Lu Chao are not very familiar with each other.

Old Lady Xue snorted. Then how can the other party call her Sister Xi? Also, isnt Xue Xis boyfriend Lu Chaos colleague?

Ye Li corrected her. It was Lu Chao and the rest who ostracized him and chased him out of Dingsheng. That day at the banquet, Lu Chao had made things clear, but nothing more came of it after that. Its evident that their relationship is definitely not good. Otherwise, Xiao Xiang would not have opened a provision store to make a living.

Old Lady Xue pouted. So what if they dont have a good relationship? Let him lower his head and make the introductions. If it really doesnt work out, cant they get Lu Chao to add Yaoyao on WeChat just to give me face?

Ye Li said firmly, Mom, that wont do.

Old Lady Xue was instantly infuriated. This wont do. That wont do either. What can you do for the Xue family?

After saying this, she turned to look at Xue Xis maternal grandparents and said sarcastically, You havent earned a single cent. Back then, you didnt have much dowry either. All youre spending now is my sons money. You brought your parents over here to stay. A lunatic and a weak person need my son to provide for them. What about you? You only know how to draw a lousy painting every day and cant sell it. Theyre not even worth a single cent. Tell me, what contributions have you given to the Xue family?

Ye Lis face turned red from the scolding. Just as she was about to retort, her maternal grandmother, Song Wenman, stood up fiercely. You old lady, you really dont know whats good for you. One look at you and anyone can tell that youve never read before. Did you see us spend that money? Let me tell you, the old man and I wont spend a single cent of your sons. We have our retirement money!

Old Lady Xue pouted. Thats right. Even though youre covered in the stench of copper, you still think youre better than me! You might be a university professor, but youre still living a poor life! The daughter you raised is a useless piece of trash! If it werent for the fact that she met our Xue Sheng, would your Ye Li have earned a single cent? Would she have been able to feed herself?

Song Wenman trembled in anger.

Old Master Xue stood up and bellowed, Shut up!

He frowned and said to Old Lady Xue, Its because my in-laws are here that I asked you to come with me to greet her! If you cant say anything nice, then keep quiet!

He looked at Ye Li and Song Wenman and sighed. Ye Li, dont listen to your mothers nonsense. She has a sharp tongue

The words barks worse than she bites were on the tip of his tongue, but he refused to say it.

He had originally brought Old Lady Xue here to mend their relationship, but it was indeed not a bad thing for Xue Yao and Lu Chao to get to know each other. It was also good for the company. Xue Yao had also agreed on this matter.

However, was this the attitude of someone seeking help? His wife actually added oil to the fire. How infuriating.

However, after Old Lady Xue and the family had split up, her confidence rose. Anyway, she was rich now, so why should she be afraid of Old Master Xue? She sneered. Why? Dont want to let me speak the truth? As a mother, she is a good-for-nothing. She doesnt even bother introducing her daughter to anyone. One only knows how to paint and the other only knows how to study. What can they do for the Xue family?

The old patriarch wished he could stop her mouth and held her arm. Say another word and Ill have you scram!

Old Lady Xue reluctantly shut her mouth.

Liu Yiqiu took a step forward and smiled ingratiatingly. Sister-in-law, I know that asking Xixis boyfriend to make introductions for us will be troubling for him, but this wont exactly be an unfair exchange. Do you know what this is?

After saying that, she took out a ticket from her bag and passed it to Ye Li.

Ye Li shot a glance at it and her eyes lit up. Is that an art exhibition ticket?

Liu Yiqiu smiled. Yes. I dont know much about your industry. I only know that this art exhibition was organized by someone from the capital and is highly valued. I heard that its an international art exchange, so they dont sell tickets to outsiders. There are only internal tickets, and its hard to get a single one. I got this one after pulling strings with several acquaintances, and I spent nearly 50,000 yuan to get it from a staff member. Sister-in-law, please help our Yaoyao this time and Ill give you this ticket in exchange. How about it?

Ye Li really wanted to go to this art exhibition. Her eyes could not leave that ticket However, she took a deep breath. No.

A hint of disdain appeared on Liu Yiqius face as she continued, Sister-in-law, you might not know how precious this ticket is. Its not just a matter of money. Even if Big Brother is willing to fork out the money, you dont have the connections to buy it.

Xue Xi, who was holding six electronic tickets: ?
