From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 295: Li Yehan Set a Trap for Him

Li Ye arrived shortly after dinner.

When Uncle Fu came in to inform Old Mr. Li, both of their expressions were grim.

Uncle Fu added, "Young Master Ye says he’s here to apologize and hopes you will see him. He said he won’t be a bother, just wants to meet you once."

Old Mr. Li looked towards Li Yehan, who chuckled lightly, "Then let him come in. I want to see how he plans to apologize."

As soon as Li Yehan spoke, Old Mr. Li gave Uncle Fu a knowing look, and Uncle Fu understood.

Old Mr. Li then said, "Let’s meet him outside. Qiaoqiao is still eating here."

Old Mr. Li did not want Qiaoqiao to get involved and was also concerned about affecting her mood.

Nan Qiao smiled, "Grandpa Li, you eat here. I’ll go inside."

However, Li Yehan said, "Qiaoqiao, there’s no need to avoid him. Let’s meet here."

Nan Qiao looked at Li Yehan, puzzled by his intentions.

Meeting Li Ye, wasn’t that inappropriate?

Old Mr. Li didn’t understand what Li Yehan meant either, but since Li Yehan acted this way, he did not say anything.

After a while, Li Ye walked in with a gift.

Seeing Nan Qiao there, he was a bit surprised, but his emotion quickly disappeared.

Li Ye said modestly, "Grandpa, I obtained a painting and know you like art, so I specifically brought it to you."

After entering, Li Ye added, "Grandpa, this is a Master Shan Shui’s work, I hope you like it."

Not wanting to turn away a smiling face, Old Mr. Li’s expression was very mild, replying to Li Ye, "You are thoughtful."

Li Ye sat down with a smile, "Grandpa, shall I show it to you?"

Seeing that Li Yehan remained silent, Old Mr. Li simply spoke, "Sure."

Li Ye placed the painting on the clean dining table and opened it; it depicted a landscape.

Nan Qiao took a glance, her expression revealing doubt which then quickly vanished.

Li Yehan noticed Nan Qiao’s emotion and whispered in her ear.

Nan Qiao nodded slightly, and Li Yehan understood.

Old Mr. Li, looking at the painting, couldn’t help but exclaim, "Indeed, it’s a Master Shan Shui’s painting. It’s very well done."

Li Ye responded, "I’m glad you like it."

Old Mr. Li, holding a magnifying glass, scrutinized the painting closely.

"How much did this painting cost?" Old Mr. Li asked.

"Three million."

Nan Qiao gasped, her counterfeit painting sold for so much?

Li Yehan scoffed softly, quickly drawing Li Ye’s attention.

What did Li Yehan mean?

Li Yehan said sternly, "Three million for a fake painting?"

Li Ye: "!!"

"Fake? How can you be sure it’s a fake?"

Li Yehan: "How could I not know, being around Master Shan Shui?"

Li Yehan suggested, "If you don’t believe it, you can have it authenticated."

Holding the magnifying glass, Old Mr. Li said, "Master Shan Shui’s paintings have a mark on the bottom left corner. Just pass that part lightly over a flame, and her name will appear."

Old Mr. Li saying that, Uncle Fu immediately brought a candle and lit it.

Li Yehan rolled up the painting, exposing the bottom left corner.

Passing it over the flame, nothing appeared.

Li Ye: "..."

Li Ye was shocked.

How could this happen?

He had spent so much money!

Li Ye’s expression turned extremely ugly.

"How can it be fake? I spent three million and even confirmed it myself." Li Ye refused to believe this was true.

Finally trying to please Old Mr. Li with a painting he liked, only to find out it was a counterfeit and he had botched it?

Old Mr. Li: "Xiao Ye, your eyesight isn’t too good."

Nan Qiao, without a word, grabbed her phone and messaged Hou Ze to investigate who was selling fake paintings.

Li Ye stood bewildered, still finding it hard to accept the reality.

Based on what Li Ye knew, Li Yehan didn’t understand art and never focused on paintings, how could he know this was a counterfeit?

Was this all a trap set by Li Yehan to embarrass him?

Thinking this, Li Ye brimmed with rage.

Li Yehan spoke up, "I know Master Shan Shui; we are good friends. Naturally, I would recognize her work."

Old Mr. Li said, "Ye Han, good thing you noticed, otherwise Xiao Ye would have been duped. Xiao Ye, take the painting and report it to the police."

Feeling humiliated, Li Ye didn’t want to say much else, grabbing the painting and leaving dejectedly.

Li Ye didn’t report to the police immediately but instead tracked down the person who sold him the painting.

The man was scared in a bar, almost unable to pull up his pants when Li Ye’s men captured him.

Thrown into a pitch-black place, the man yelped in fear, "What do you want to do? I haven’t provoked you!"

Li Ye kicked him in the chest, "You dared to fool me!"

Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, the man felt guilty.

He stammered, "I didn’t fool you!"

"You sold me a fake painting and say you haven’t fooled me?" Li Ye kicked him again.

The man hurriedly explained, "It wasn’t me. The paintings I sold you were real!"

With a glance from Li Ye, the man was beaten half to death.

Li Ye crouched down, facing the man who feared him, and asked one last time, "Who directed you to harm me with this?"

The man wailed in fright, "I’m just trying to make a living; I didn’t get the biggest share."

With no fruitful results from the interrogation, Li Ye had his men dump the man at the police station entrance.

After such an embarrassing incident, Li Ye continued to investigate and catch the man’s superior to regain face.

Later, Li Ye made another call, "Check when Li Yehan met Master Shan Shui!"

Li Ye still suspected that today’s event was a setup by Li Yehan!

On the way home, Li Yehan felt even better.

"Li Yehan, are you this happy because Li Ye suffered a setback?"

Li Yehan raised an eyebrow, "Yes, seeing him so embarrassed really made me happy." freēnovelkiss.com

Nan Qiao could understand Li Yehan’s feelings, leaning back in her seat and laughing, "I also didn’t expect Li Ye to present me with my painting, especially a fake one. I’ve already had Houzi investigate who’s selling my counterfeit paintings behind my back."

"It’s indeed worth checking into. After all, my Qiaoqiao is too exceptional; it’s hard to find her art."

Flattered, Nan Qiao’s lips curled into a smile, and she opened the visor mirror above, causing a gold necklace to fall out.

Nan Qiao was surprised, "Li Yehan, your hidden gold necklace?"

Li Yehan laughed, "I’ll buy you gold every day from now on."

This was the gold necklace Li Yehan had his bodyguard buy after bringing Nan Qiao into Old Mr. Li’s house.

First a necklace, tomorrow he would personally select another.

"Li Yehan, you don’t have to buy for me. You’ve already given me too many gifts, stop buying."

"No, you like gold, so I’ll give you gold. I have a lot of money, Qiaoqiao doesn’t need to worry."

Nan Qiao ; "..."

The overlord’s style is indeed unique, and his determination is so strong, who wouldn’t like that?

Nan Qiao said, "Li Yehan, Li Ye might suspect today’s events were a scheme by you. I don’t have a good feeling about Li Ye, you should be careful."
