Reborn to inherit a 100 billion fortune, the real daughter is crazy

Thinking back many years ago.

Mo Li met Mr. Gu at an art exhibition when she was just over ten years old. She mistakenly thought that Gu Tingyan was her savior and followed him around like a little tail all day long. If it was someone else, Gu Tingyan might have been fed up with her a long time ago, but she was really pretty and other boys envied him for having such a little tail, so although Gu Tingyan always complained that she was annoying, he didn't really dislike her.

Naturally, she would actively attend the art exhibition that Gu Tingyan was going to attend.

In that exhibition, she showed her unique insights into Chinese painting. Although all the adults at the exhibition sneered at her words as a little kid, she was the only one who appreciated her work, a strange old grandfather.

Later she found out that the old man was Gu Tingyan's grandfather, and this exhibition was organized by the Chinese Painting Association where Gu Tingyan's grandfather worked.

From then on, Mr. Gu saw her talent in Chinese painting. After looking at several of her paintings, he encouraged her to develop in the field of Chinese painting in the future.

Unfortunately, for Mo Li, painting can be a pastime in life, but it is not her true passion. Although she is young, she has a very clear plan for her future, so she can only decline Mr. Gu's request.

Although Mr. Gu was a little disappointed, he did not force her. He just didn't want her to give up Chinese painting. From then on, the two made an agreement that Mo Li had to hand in at least two decent works for him to check every year, so that she would not slack off and waste her painting talent.

Since she was 12 years old, Mo Li kept her promise every year. Later, when she was in high school and her studies were too busy, Grandpa Gu allowed her to change the number of paintings she painted every year from two to one, and hand it over to him on his birthday.

……

But today, Mo Li didn't seem to bring her new paintings.

Grandpa Gu is really old now, and his cloudy eyes reveal an unstoppable old age, but the look he gives Mo Li is still very loving: "Xiao Li, Grandpa knows that you will take the college entrance examination in two days. You must be busy reviewing and forget it, otherwise you wouldn't have delayed showing me your paintings... But after the college entrance examination is over in two days, you must remember to make up for it! Hey, you are a good kid, Grandpa Gu really doesn't want you to waste your talent."

Mo Li smiled lightly: "Grandpa Gu, when have I ever broken my promise to you? Of course I have prepared the painting a long time ago."

Mr. Gu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? Then why didn't you bring it with you? Is it because the painting is too big? It's not convenient?"

Mo Li smiled again, her lively eyes curved into crescents: "It is indeed not very convenient, but it is not because the painting is too big. It is because -"

She took out a folded note from her handbag and handed it to the old man. Grandpa Gu took it with some doubts, opened it, and was stunned.

"This, this is... the receipt from Fengrui Antique Shop? The amount is 20 million?!"

The old man looked up at Mo Li, his expression seemed a little strange, his cloudy eyes showed disbelief: "...Xiao Li, what do you mean by this?"

Mo Li's smile remained unchanged, and her fingers tapped lightly on the sandalwood tea table: "Grandpa Gu, you may not know yet, but all those works you sold to the Japanese pirates over the years have now been bought back by Fengrui Antique Shop at a high price--"

When Mr. Gu heard her say "Japanese pirate country", his old face began to fade. When Mo Li finished speaking slowly, his face had already turned pale: "You, when did you know it?"

Mo Li did not choose to answer his question, but continued with a smile: "——Grandpa Gu, I will sell it sooner or later anyway, why should I let the middleman make a profit? So I sold the work that was originally intended for you directly to Mr. Xiao of Fengrui Antique Shop."

……

The smile on Mo Li's face remained unchanged, but it revealed a kind of coldness that could see through people's hearts.

She could not forget the shock she felt yesterday in the antique shop when Xiao Shenghe took her to the warehouse to see his new batch of goods and she saw the ten Chinese paintings that were created by her.

From the age of 12 to 17, the ten works she gave to the old man of the Gu family over the years were all neatly placed here.

She walked step by step through the works in the display cabinets. Each one embodied her hard work. However, these works now seemed to have passed through the hands of many collectors, and there were many marks left by the collectors themselves on them. Without exception, they were all words from the Japanese pirate country.

The shock in Mo Li's eyes didn't seem fake. She felt like she was struck by lightning and her entire body was incoherent: "Why are these paintings here?"

Although she already had the answer in her heart, she still didn't give up and hoped that everything was not as she thought.

——No, the Grandpa Gu whom she has always respected the most, the Grandpa Gu who loves her so much, would never do such a thing.

……

Unfortunately, Xiao Shenghe's words shattered the last glimmer of hope in her heart: "Ms. Mo, you probably don't know it yourself. Over the years, the old man of the Gu family has been selling your works to the Japanese pirate country in his capacity as the chairman of the Chinese Painting Association. Not only that, your works are also very popular among players there. Even the lowest-priced one can easily sell for 100 million yen."

One hundred million yen is nearly five million RMB.

Mo Li showed a sarcastic smile on her face. She didn't even know that the work of a business person like her was so valuable.

When Xiao Shenghe saw her disappointed and mocking expression, he knew that this silly girl was really kept in the dark and had no idea that she had been used for so many years.

He sighed softly, "Thanks to your works over the years, the Chinese Painting Association where Mr. Gu works has become famous abroad. He has made a fortune by marketing, exhibiting, and auctioning your works... You probably don't know about these things. Now, one of your works can easily be auctioned for 10 or 20 million RMB."

Mo Li felt her head buzzing. She knew that the Gu family were not good people, but she didn't expect that even this last bit of warmth given to her was fake.

No wonder Grandpa Gu treated her better than his own granddaughter, Gu Xuehui. No wonder he had been advising her earnestly for so many years not to give up Chinese painting and not to bury her talent.

It turns out that it was just because there was something profitable in her.

In the end, it's all about exploitation.
