Woman 30: I regained my life after divorce

Under the cover of darkness, Li Bing silently stared at the empty space before him, then glanced at the phone in his hand, and suddenly felt the urge to leave.

"Hehe, Sister Liu, we've worked together a few times already. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

“If you hadn’t said you had the Gardener’s painting, I wouldn’t have gone to that place alone in the middle of the night.”

Li Bing felt agitated when he thought about the price Liu Ling had mentioned on the phone.

If the painting of the gardener is authentic, its true value is far greater than 200,000.

However, as a businessman who values ​​profit, minimizing losses is naturally the biggest concern.

Liu Ling didn't care. She gritted her teeth and continued talking on the phone.

"Two hundred thousand, transfer every penny to my account. This time, I need you to transfer all the money!"

"To be honest, this is the last time I'll sell these things. I probably won't sell them again!"

Liu Ling knew very well that if she continued to steal things from the old house and sell them, she would be discovered sooner or later.

Anyway, she has earned enough money now, and Liu Ling just wants to be quiet for a while, and then make a comeback when things have calmed down.

Li Bing was very troubled.

To be honest, Li Bing is not short of money; he even has several times that amount in his wallet.

However, Li Bing disliked Liu Ling's suggestion to transfer all the money to the other party's account at once.

"Sister Liu, shouldn't you at least let me see the painting first? Otherwise, I won't be willing to transfer the money to you!"

"Two hundred thousand is no small sum, and I don't want my money to go down the drain."

Li Bing took out a cigarette, lit it, and frowned.

Liu Ling snorted coldly. She was forced into this situation; otherwise, she would have already gone out to make a face-to-face deal with Li Bing.

"Li Bing, I've said before, this is my last deal. If you trust me, then transfer the money quickly. If you don't trust me, there's no need for us to continue talking!"

After saying that, Liu Ling stopped talking and silently waited for Li Bing to reply.

There was a brief silence on the phone.

Li Bing recalled every transaction he had made with Liu Ling.

Every item Liu Ling brought out was verified to be genuine, and its actual value was very high. Often, as soon as she made a move, Li Bing would fight over it fiercely.

After thinking it over, Li Bing finally made a decision, and said with some hesitation.

"Okay, Sister Liu, I'll believe you this time. Don't lie to me! Otherwise, if you cheat me out of my money, I'll definitely call the police and have you arrested!"

While speaking, Li Bing didn't forget to threaten Liu Ling, as if he was afraid that Liu Ling was really deceiving him.

Liu Ling smiled faintly, said nothing more, but quickly urged them on.

"Oh dear, oh dear, you still don't trust me? We've done business together several times, you should have some faith in my character."

"Send the money quickly so I can tell you the exact location of the item!"

Liu Ling finished speaking quickly, her eyes fixed on the screen of her phone, waiting for the message from Li Bing to transfer money to her.

Li Bing sighed, feeling helpless, and whispered something under his breath.

"What's all this about?"

Although Li Bing disliked transactions involving advance payment, it was currently the only way to acquire the oil painting titled "The Gardener."

With a tap of his finger on the phone screen, Li Bing skillfully operated the device, and Liu Ling quickly received notification that her account had received 200,000 yuan.

Liu Ling was extremely excited, her face beaming with a smile that stretched almost to her ears.

Li Bing spoke again.

"Sister Liu, I've already transferred 200,000 yuan to your account. Have you received it?"

Not long after, Liu Ling's voice rang out, her tone full of smugness.

"I received it, I received it. Thank you for trusting me."

Li Bingcai didn't want to engage in polite back-and-forth conversations with Liu Ling on the phone, and said impatiently.

"Now that you've received the money, shouldn't you tell me the exact location of the item?"

Since the money had already been paid, Li Bing felt that Liu Ling no longer needed to hide the location of the oil painting.

Liu Ling is a person of her word, and immediately told them the location of the oil painting.

"The oil painting is nearby, right next to you. Do you see a security booth? The painting is in a suitcase inside."

Guided by Liu Ling, Li Bing quickly found the location of the oil painting and successfully retrieved his suitcase.

Arriving at a secluded spot, Li Bing quickly glanced at the painting, roughly understood its contents, and then hurriedly left with it.

Back home, Li Bing wasn't sleepy at all and immediately began appreciating the oil painting.

Liu Ling didn't care at all how Li Bing used the oil painting afterward; it was none of her business.

With some time still remaining before dawn, Liu Ling seized every opportunity to catch up on sleep.

The sun rises as usual, and the old house remains bustling with activity.

With the addition of new staff, the old housekeeper, who had been looking after the old house, was very pleased, finally no longer having to be alone.

There were many things to do during the day, but thanks to the arrangements made by a few people, everything went smoothly.

Wang Ma returned to the old housekeeper dejectedly and reluctantly relayed Liu Wanning's message.

"Miss still isn't eating. It seems that the birth of the young master has been a great blow to her."

"Oh, Sister Liu, you shouldn't have told Miss Wan Ning about this."

Wang Ma looked at Liu Ling reproachfully.

Liu Ling, with dark circles under her eyes, looked at Wang Ma with a dazed expression. Having only slept for a few hours, she naturally wouldn't be in a good mental state the next day.

"Tch, Miss Wan Ning will find out about this sooner or later. I was just giving her a friendly reminder."

Liu Ling did not think there was anything wrong with her actions and insisted that she had not done anything wrong.

The old butler timely interrupted the impending argument between the two by coughing lightly.

"Ahem, you two stop talking. Let's hurry up and pack. Madam and the others will be back this afternoon."

The old butler had received the news early in the morning and relayed it to the two of them while all three were present.

Wang Ma was very happy, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"That's wonderful! I'm so eager to see the young master!"

The old butler nodded and smiled; he too was looking forward to the young master's arrival.

With the arrival of a newborn, the old house will surely be filled with laughter and joy once again.

Liu Ling appeared happy on the surface, but in reality, she was filled with anxiety and unease.

Deep down, Liu Ling had a feeling that her actions were very likely to be discovered.

To avoid getting into trouble, Liu Ling came up with an idea and casually mentioned it.

"Butler, could I ask for a few more days off? My children have exams coming up and I need to be with them to take care of them."
