Chapter 035: Bosom Friend
Shu Baocheng seemed to have lost his memory, sitting on the chair, his pupils were a little dull, and his face was expressionless and always stunned.
Lin Duoyu had already regained his strength, looking for traces of the Qimen Formation in the room. He always felt that Zheng Xiaoyi's death must be inseparable from this Qimen Array, but there was no trace of Zheng Xiaoyi. This made Lin Duoyu a little confused.
"Could it be that I guessed wrong? Impossible, Zheng Xiaoyi's death will definitely not be untargeted. For subjective reasons, Lin Duoyu's preconceived idea that this matter must have something to do with Shu Baocheng. But he couldn't find any clues.
"Who are you talking about?" the stupid Shu Baocheng suddenly interjected.
Lin Duoyu's head was thinking about Zheng Xiaoyi, and subconsciously replied: "Zheng Xiaoyi." ”
"Do you know Zheng Xiaoyi?" asked Shu Baocheng differently.
Lin Duoyu hesitated, nodded, turned to Shu Baocheng and asked directly, "Does Zheng Xiaoyi's death have anything to do with you?"
"What! What is your relationship with Zheng Xiaoyi?" Shu Baocheng asked in surprise.
When Lin Duoyu heard this, his brows furrowed again. He asked again and again: "Does Zheng Xiaoyi's death have anything to do with you?"
Looking at Lin Duoyu's sharp eyes, Shu Baocheng's face was cloudy, not afraid, but he was a little difficult to choose about Lin Duoyu's identity.
"Tell me the truth so I can help you. You've seen a series of weird things today, and it's clear that someone is going to deal with you. ”
Shu Baocheng lowered his head with difficulty For Zheng Xiaoyi, he does have a debt in his heart, but Zheng Xiaoyi's surprise...
"Xiaoyi, our relationship is actually quite good. It was only later that because of some things, our relationship deteriorated. ”
"What's the matter?" Lin Duoyu asked.
Shu Bao raised his head in embarrassment and looked at Lin Duoyu again, from Lin Duoyu's clear eyes, he seemed to see the strange and unpredictable light before, and saw a lot of demons and monsters that seemed to crawl out of hell. He suddenly realized that he had been in dire straits. Could it be that all this is really related to the dead Zheng Xiaoyi?
He couldn't help but shudder, and continued with a roll in his throat: "I met Xiaoyi through my sister Baoyu, who is Baoyu's boyfriend. Once, they came to my studio..."
Shu Baocheng, as the eldest son of the Shu family to inherit his father's business, is also young and promising in Jinhai City, although his achievements are not high. But in the shade of his father's greenery, he grew up very quickly. It's just that his paintings have been tepid and can't be bought.
The first time I met Zheng Xiaoyi, it was Baoyu who took him to Baocheng's studio. Although Zheng Xiaoyi is an IT man, he is not the kind of person who only stays at home and has a low EQ to negative numbers. On the contrary, he is a very intelligent and insightful young man, otherwise he would not have attracted Baoyu who returned from studying abroad.
After seeing Shu Baocheng's paintings in the studio, Zheng Xiaoyi's casual comment made Shu Baocheng's heart set off turbulent waves. His sensual time mode found an outlet all at once.
After Zheng Xiaoyi left, he made subtle changes to the original painting, and immediately gave a painting a charm, and the price directly increased tenfold in an art exhibition. Shu Baocheng seemed to have found Bole, and couldn't wait to start asking Zheng Xiaoyi to sit in his studio, intentionally or unintentionally. came and went, Zheng Xiaoyi's comments every time he gave Shu Baocheng a different feeling.
But gradually, Shu Baocheng began to inch in, and there were only a few works he could get his hands on. Even when there is an end to change. After all, whether a painter has something in his head or not, he must completely open his horizons and broaden his mind enough. There must be rich emotions in it, and it must be vividly reflected in the paintings.
What Shu Baocheng lacks is this kind of inspiration, and what Zheng Xiaoyi can give him is the opportunity for this inspiration. This kind of thing can only be understood but not spoken. So, Zheng Xiaoyi began to paint in the studio. Although he is an IT man, he also has art skills, and his ideas are very unique and tricky, often just an idea and artistic conception, and he can always find another way.
"Xiaoyi is a very kind person, but he is also a very reasonable person. After he helped me paint for the first time, I painted on it in depth, and we were like soulmates, able to understand each other's thoughts. He constructs the outline, I enrich the content, and finally it forms a painting with a soul. We worked all night, and the excitement in each other's eyes couldn't be concealed. ”
Shu Baocheng took a hard puff of cigarette, and seemed to recall the scene at that time, he would be excited about it, but there was a thick sadness and guilt in this excitement.
"At that time, I only had money in my eyes, so I selfishly wanted to keep the painting for myself. Of course, Xiaoyi didn't want to fight with me or split the money. He said at the time, "I must not sell the paintings." ”
The selfish Shu Baocheng casually agreed, and at the same time said to Xiaoyi that the things they discussed must not be told to Baoyu. In this way, Zheng Xiaoyi would go to Baocheng's studio every once in a while, and the two would discuss with each other, and then Zheng Xiaoyi would express his inspiration and ideas, and the two would work together.
It sounds like this is a happy and happy marriage. Well... Of course, it's Xiaoyi and Baoyu.
However, Shu Baocheng's selfishness has changed this status quo.
The remorseful Shu Baocheng lit a cigarette again and said sadly: "My father has been well-known all his life, as his son, how can I do nothing." I want to surpass him, I want to become someone else's mouth when it comes to the Shu family, and what comes to mind is me Shu Baocheng. ”
"Then, you sold the work you two collaborated on?" Lin Duoyu asked.
Shu Baocheng nodded regretfully, "Xiaoyi broke into the door angrily, he said that I don't speak honestly, that I don't deserve to be a painter. ”
"And then you killed him in a fit of rage!"
"No, no, I don't. He was asking me for money to get his fair share. I was originally going to give him the money, but I didn't expect him to open his mouth and ask for ninety percent. ”
Lin Duoyu frowned and sighed in his heart. Ninety percent? It's really a lack of people's hearts, and everyone is selfish.
"I have spent a lot on all the labor, space, communication, etc., and I have given him ninety percent of the money for my exhibition. So, we got into an argument, and he threatened me that if I didn't give him the money, he would ruin me. Hey..."Shu Baocheng hung his head, as an elder brother, he thought of things at a deeper level and thought of more problems.
Zheng Xiaoyi said that he didn't want Shu Baocheng to sell the painting, but instead came to the lion to open his mouth. Is he really so selfless and principled?
It even made Shu Baocheng think in horror, does Zheng Xiaoyi really love Baoyu? Could it be that he is just to get close to himself, or even to achieve a certain purpose, deliberately approaching their Shu family. Let the two of them play with the applause?
