In the afternoon, the sound of rain outside the window gradually stopped. Shen Siyan opened the curtains of the room, a ray of sunlight fell on his eyes, and a rainbow hung in the sky after the rain.

He looked sideways and looked at Yan Mo, as if at that moment, a ray of light shone directly into his heart, dispelling all the gloom. Everything bad seemed to be made less so bad because of her arrival.

Shen Siyan withdrew from the room and took Yan Mo to his current residence. The place is not big, but it is big enough for two people. And he didn't plan to tell Yan Mo about his situation, so as not to worry her, so he pretended to be relaxed and chatted with her for a long time.

Yan Mo looked at his forced smile, her eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, she hugged him, and her choked voice was firm, "Shen Siyan, don't fight everything by yourself, you and me, we can face it together." ”

Shen Siyan's tall body froze, his heart was slightly warm, he took her into his arms with his backhand, put his head on her neck, and was silent for a moment before telling Yan Mo about his situation.

Of course, he doesn't tell all the details, just picks and chooses some of them. To put it lightly, as if it wasn't a big deal.

But how could Yan Mo not know his thoughts, but he didn't say everything, and he didn't ask one in detail.

Early the next morning, Shen Siyan hurriedly said goodbye to Yan Mo, and ran around for that mess, so that Yan Mo couldn't see him for the rest of the time.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Mo has been in the United States for a while, but he seems to be able to watch him busy and anxious, but he can't help anything, at that moment, Yan Mo feels that he is extremely useless.

An inexplicable uneasiness quietly rose from her heart, making her overwhelmed, she tried her best to restrain the chaos of thousands of thoughts, slowly suppressed the anxiety and impatience, and tried not to disturb him, just so that Shen Siyan could deal with his affairs with peace of mind.

One day a month later, Yan Mo, as usual, looked up information about Shen Siyan on the Internet, and wanted to help him as much as she could. And a hurried knock on the door disturbed her thoughts, thinking that Shen Siyan was back, she trotted to open the door, but it was his landlord who greeted him, and before Yan Mo could speak, he opened his mouth first.

"Who are you?"

"Hello, I'm his girlfriend, he has something to go out, may I ask who you are?"

"Oh, I'm the landlord here, since you're his girlfriend, pay the rent as soon as possible, and if you don't pay it, I'll have to issue an eviction order. ”

Obviously, the landlord is also a Chinese, but his tone is not friendly to Yan Mo, and she can clearly perceive the disdain from the landlord.

This made her a little uncomfortable, but she still replied to him very politely, nodded slightly apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for causing you trouble, how much do I need to pay?"

"It's 500 in total. ”

"Oh, I'll give it to you. ”

Yan Mo took out 500 yuan from his wallet and handed it to the landlord, but the landlord was angered by Yan Mo's action, and his face became more and more ugly, "It's 500 US dollars." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Yan Mo was taken aback by the landlord, and after being stunned for a while, she opened her wallet and looked at it, and found that she didn't have that much cash, "I'm sorry, I don't have so much cash, I'll go downstairs to get it right away, and then bring it to you, okay?"

The landlord didn't look good when he left, and he was still muttering something with a wave of anger.

And after Yan Mo withdrew the money and made up all the rent, the landlord seemed to be a different person, changed to another expression, and started a family routine with Yan Mo with a smile, but Yan Mo didn't stay long and left soon.

But Yan Mo didn't go home directly, but went to Shen Siyan's company, originally wanting to learn about some information, but the other party avoided answering and was unwilling to reveal anything. Yan Mo found nothing, so she could only turn around and leave in disappointment.

As soon as she walked to the door, a stranger stopped her, pulled Yan Mo aside, and secretly told her some news. Roughly Yan Mo summed it up: as long as all those paintings are recovered, and then the liquidated damages are solved, but it is easier to recover the paintings, and the liquidated damages will be...

After a few conversations, Yan Mo knew that the person's name was Eric, who was the company's legal counsel, so he was very familiar with the case, and after pointing out a few directions to Yan Mo, everything became much clearer.

He personally admires Shen Siyan, he said that he is also Chinese, and he can help some if he can, just reminding him a few points, neither revealing company secrets, nor violating his professional ethics as a lawyer.

"Then do you know the location of that gallery?" Yan Mo asked softly.

Eric is a very good person, not only telling the address of the gallery owner, but also telling her the owner's unknown "little secret", saying that the boss is very black-hearted and often resells fakes to get huge profits and other information.

Yan Mo thanked him gratefully, and then found the gallery according to the address he said.

Yan Mo walked around the gallery, then pointed to a few paintings and said, "This, this, this, and this... What price can you sell to me?"

Shen Siyan's paintings, Yan Mo had seen most of the pictures in the materials when she was sorting out the content of his interviews before, so she was able to quickly pick out his paintings from the many works.

Yan Mo did not beat around the bush, and asked the gallery owner straight to the point, with sharp and sharp eyes.

"This is the work of the famous oil painter YAN, and the price is not cheap. ”

"Don't think I don't know, you specialize in reselling fakes here. The words "reselling fakes" Yan Mo said meaningfully, as if she was hinting at something with the other party, with a bit of domineering momentum.

The proprietor of the gallery shuddered, obviously shocked by what the girl in front of him said, and almost no one knew about his resale of fakes, and where did she know about it? ”

"Oh, yes? Look at your painting, I remember that the color in the upper left corner of his original work is not like this. Look at this again, the necklace worn by the neck of the middle character is obviously red, but this one of yours is blue, and you can't copy the essence of plagiarism, and dare to say that it is genuine? Do you want to open this gallery?"

"Okay, okay, I'll sell you these paintings for 2 million. The gallery owner said with some weakness, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He was a half-ass, and the level of painting appreciation was also very average, and when he heard the other party talk about it, he couldn't help but believe her words. After all, the paintings I bought only cost 500,000 yuan, and it wouldn't be genuine if I thought it was so cheap.

"These paintings are only worth 1 million at most, if you promise to sell them to me, there are 300,000 in this card, which is considered a deposit. If you don't agree..."Yan Mo dragged out her voice, her eyes swept over the gallery owner's face, "I have a way to make your gallery not open." ”

"Good, good. The owner of the gallery secretly looked at Yan Mo, seeing that the other party was so arrogant, thinking that there was a backstage, he didn't want to offend any "big shots", and he lost the gallery for this, which would outweigh the losses. Anyway, even if he sells it for 1 million, he can still earn 500,000 from it, which is a good deal.

Yan Mo threw the bank card in his hand to the gallery owner and said lightly: "The rest, I will pay all the rest to your account within three days." ”

After speaking, Yan Mo turned around in a dashing manner.

When she walked out of the gallery, her legs were weak, her palms were still oozing with sweat, and she was leaning against the wall with one hand, trying to calm the panic in her heart.

You must know that the momentum of facing the gallery owner just now is pretended, in the years when I was in college, I often worked everywhere, and I saw a lot of bullying scenes, this time I also learned a hand, fortunately I didn't show my cowardice on the spot, otherwise she would have helped again.

After a while, Yan Mo eased her mood. Where to borrow money? She thought about it, and finally picked up her phone and called Wen Jing.

Wen Jing didn't even ask about the cause and effect, and directly transferred the money to Yan Mo's account. After Yan Mo received the transfer information, she called Wen Jing back and explained the situation to her concisely.

The two were moved and thanked each other.

Soon, Yan Mo transferred all the rest of the money to the boss's account, and he kept his word and directly packed the painting and sent it to her residence.

Yan Mo didn't say a word, turned around and returned the paintings to Shen Siyan's agency.

Yan Mo returned home and breathed a long sigh of relief, which can be regarded as helping him a little, she said to herself in her heart, and then turned on the computer and browsed around for part-time job information. After all, she has spent all her savings in the past few years, and if she doesn't look for some part-time jobs, she is afraid that she will be swept away by the landlord next.

"Momo, what are you doing?"

That day, Shen Siyan suddenly appeared behind Yan Mo like this, which made her a little panicked, biting her fingernails weakly, and replied hesitantly: "No... It's nothing. ”

Shen Siyan glanced at the computer and found that Yan Mo was browsing the information of the part-time website, frowned slightly, pointed to the computer and asked, "What is this?"

Yan Mo subconsciously closed the computer and smiled at Shen Siyan, her deliberately dodging eyes revealed a touch of uneasiness that was not easy to detect.

"Are you looking for a job? Didn't you say you're here on a business trip?"

Yan Mo raised his head in surprise, seeing that his face was gloomy as water at this time, his expression was solemn, and he frowned slightly and waited for his answer, Yan Mo pretended to lie calmly: "I'm here on a business trip, but the work is almost done, and I just sat down and watched the online drama for half an hour."

However, it's either VIP or trouble, there will always be a small ad that pops up, and I accidentally clicked on it, and it was such a coincidence that you appeared behind me. Believe it or not, there are still viewing records on the computer. ”

Yan Mo restrained herself from biting her nails, this was a frequent action in her weak heart, and she couldn't let Shen Siyan find out that she was lying.

Then Yan Mo turned on the half-closed computer, pointed to the viewing record of the online drama, and opened her eyes and said nonsense.

Shen Siyan glanced at it, it was true that the playback record was not long ago, and Yan Mo's expression was sincere, and it didn't look like he was lying, so he didn't dig deeper.

In order to divert his attention, Yan Mo changed his words: "How are you handling your affairs?"

"It's almost there. Shen Siyan didn't want Yan Mo to worry about this, and he lied to her, during this time he had been running around for a long time in order to raise liquidated damages, and sold all the properties in his name, plus some of his savings, it was only half of the liquidated damages. And he is such a strong person, he will definitely not open his mouth to his family, and if there are any difficulties, he will resist them by himself.

"That's good, that's good..."

The two of them didn't talk for a few words, Shen Siyan hurriedly went into the house to get some things, and when he came out, he told Yan Mo a few words and then left.

Yan Mo looked at his back as he left, opened his mouth, and swallowed what he originally wanted to say.
