Chapter 63: The Cemetery

Wang Xizhao looked at it a few more times, and he asked eagerly, "Professor Li, do you mean that this painting was painted by Chen Jinshu when he came back from Xia Erxili?"

The Li family smiled deeply: "What does Curator Wang think? I remember that Curator Wang had a painting of "Xia Ersili" before, and the style and brushstrokes were the same as this painting, and I came to see it in the last exhibition, and it should have been painted by one person. ”

Wang Xizhao's heart was entangled, and the Li family said that it was painted by one person, so these two paintings, one is true, and the other is fake.

Wang Xizhao didn't know what to say, "Hmm...... This" Wang Xizhao was ruthless, and he couldn't hide it in front of the Li family, and said with a smile: "I entered the industry halfway, although I was lucky enough to receive a few authentic works of Chen Jinshu back then, but at that time, fame and fortune were heavy, and I didn't have a good precipitation of research works, so I couldn't get it accurately, and I asked Professor Li to make it clear." ”

Professor Li did not mean to embarrass him, and asked Min Xili: "How much do you know about this painting or the person who painted it?"

Min Xili glanced at Pei Rui, Pei Rui gave an affirmative look and said, "Xili, tell the truth." ”

Min Xili nodded: "This painting was painted by my mother." ”

"Who is your mother?"

"Chen Jinshu's student, Xia Yi!"

"Oh...... It makes sense. Professor Li lamented: "Although I was teaching in the same school as Chen Jinshu, he was withdrawn and weird, and he was not on the same page as many teachers in the school. The only thing I know better is that he only has a favorite student, named Xia Yi. Chen Jinshu attaches great importance to him, a person like him who is arrogant and arrogant, and he praises Xia Yi for his talent. ”

Wang Xizhao listened on the side, looked at Min Xili, had a bad premonition, and asked: "I have done a survey before, Chen Jinshu has many students, why haven't you heard of this Xia Yi?"

"Xia Yi is not strictly his student, Xia Yi studied financial management, his parents are well-known doctors of economics, Xia Yi is also a leader in their major, I remember that many classes in the oil painting department wanted to invite her to be a model, but only Chen Jinshu was invited. Li sighed: "Xia Yi was born beautiful, and it was nothing to be a good model, but she took advantage of noon to help a few students in the class change her paintings, it turned out that Xia Yi likes to paint, but she is self-taught, but she is better than those children from professional classes." ”

Min Xili never knew that her mother was such a popular figure when she was young, she had a good family background, a beautiful life, and was also very talented in painting, why did such a beautiful and vivid person go away alone......

Li continued: "You are somewhat similar to your mother...... Chen Jinshu knew about her repainting, and he was very angry, but he appreciated it very much. So Xia Yi was allowed to study with the students in the class. Maybe this is the difference between genius and the general public, even if Xia Yi has no foundation, but extremely talented, a year later Chen Jinshu hopes that she can give up finance and concentrate on learning painting with herself, but I don't know how the two of them have a disagreement...... Xia Yi has never appeared again since. ”

Regarding this paragraph, I'm afraid only Qi An and Min Dajian know, but the two of them have never mentioned it, what is the reason?

Min Xili asked, "So you mean that my mother's paintings can be as fake as her teacher?"

Li nodded and suddenly asked, "Can I visit your mother?" I have some questions that I would like to ask her face-to-face. ”

"Probably not...... My mother disappeared nine years ago after going to Harituregg. ”

Wang Xizhao was taken aback, and said something: "Min Xili...... Charsiri ...... It turned out that when Miss Min came to the exhibition last time, she asked me about the origin of my paintings. It's my team that got the axe. ”

"The painting of "Xia Erxili", in fact, I thought it was painted by Chen Jinshu at the time. It was also recently when I stumbled upon this painting while sorting through my mother's belongings, and I had doubts. ”

The Li clan glanced at Wang Xizhao and said with a smile: "Director Wang has not shot this painting for so many years, and it seems that he is also suspicious. ”

Wang Xizhao smiled embarrassedly and apologized to Pei Rui: "Mr. Pei must bring your sister sorry when he goes back, you see my ......"

Pei Rui didn't want to be cheap and obedient, so he patted Curator Wang on the shoulder: "My sister just likes that painting, as for who painted it, it doesn't matter." Besides, if you can make Director Wang look away, it can be seen that Xia Yi is so powerful, I don't know if in the future, Xia Yi's name will not be louder than Chen Jinshu. ”

Min Xili heard Pei Rui's last words and was empowered. Although Wang Xizhao looked away back then, it was not that he said that he had poor eyesight and lacked learning. Back then, Wang Xizhao was able to become the fastest promoted gallery agent in the industry in one fell swoop, didn't he rely on a pair of good eyes...... It can only be said that the paintings of Chen Jinshu imitated by Xia Yi have reached the point where they can be faked and real.

"The future is unknown...... Xia Yi's name will not be louder than Chen Jinshu......" Min Xili repeated Pei Rui's words, and suddenly understood why the Li family wanted to see his mother, how could it be so coincidental, after his mother's painting was regarded as Chen Jinshu's painting and sold to Wang Xizhao, Chen Jinshu committed suicide...... And why did the mother go to Haritureg.

Bidding farewell to Wang Xizhao and the Li family, Min Xili took Pei Rui to the cemetery in Yecheng, and Min Xili brought flowers and the painting with him.

Pei Rui has been following her, and when she saw the graves of her grandfather and grandmother, it was Xia Yi's curtain.

"Grandpa, grandma. Xili is not filial, and he came back for so long to see you. Min Xili placed the flower in front of the tombstone of the two old men, squatted down and took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the ashes on the tombstone. And next to the two old men, there is a new grave, which is set up by Min Da and Xia Yi.

"This grave was erected by my father before I returned to China. Even if my mother is no longer alive, but there are no bones, I don't know what he buried in it?"

Pei Rui wanted to comfort her and say, maybe your mother is still in this world, but he knows that the probability is too small and too self-deceiving.

Min Xili walked to his mother's grave, gently stroked the tombstone, and said a little sadly: "Mom, I know you like roses, but I didn't bring them to you in a hurry this time, next time I will definitely bring them to you, and I will definitely not fool you with the moon season like others." ”

"Someone else?"

"Well, my dad...... I remember he bought flowers, but his mother loved roses, and he bought them. ”

Min Xili continued to murmur: "Today, a professor told me that your paintings and Chen Jinshu's paintings can almost be fake. But why, you only painted two paintings in his way......"

Pei Rui gently stroked her shoulder: "Xili, you have to believe your mother, even if she has something to do with Chen Jinshu's suicide." But it definitely won't be the one who fuels the troubles......"

"I know that my mother respects him, and the painting "Xia Erxili" is based on a photo taken by Chen Jinshu. ”

Min Xili sighed, looked at the empty tombstone and asked in his heart: Do you love him? Min Xili turned his head: "Pei Rui, do you have a lighter?"

Pei Rui didn't smoke and shook his head.

Min Xili took the painting, a little helpless: "Forget it, when I come back from Hari Turege, I'll burn it for her." If she doesn't receive it, grandparents, remember to pass it on to your mother. If...... If my mother is still in the world, grandparents and grandmothers, you can let me find her. ”

"Have you decided, when are you leaving?"

"Min Dajian has transferred the development rights of Hari Tuzheg to the name of Qinghe Travel by next week at the latest. This time, I'm going to take Eun Eun with me to see if I can use that piece of land to do a travel project. ”

"I heard you've found an Admiral?"

"Well, I'd like to ask her to go and have a look, and if it's suitable, I'll provide a venue for their company in the future. ”

"Well, if the Admiral goes with you, I'll be more reassured. ”

Min Xili does not seem to be immersed in an atmosphere of grief and pain because this is a cemetery. She asked Pei Rui: "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, what is the holiday between you and the Admiral?"

"She didn't tell you?" Pei Rui was surprised.

Min Xili shook his head: "She only said that you are college classmates. ”

"Well, she's Uncle Ao's daughter. ”

"What?!" Min Xili felt that this news was even more shocking than she knew that "Xia Ercili" was painted by her mother, the key is that Pei Rui still looks calm and light, and he originally walked with him to the gate of the cemetery, but stopped on the way: "I have never heard her talk about it." ”

Min Xili remembered a bloody TV series he watched recently: "You guys...... I don't think we've ever been together. And then your parents didn't allow it, and sent the Admiral out of the country?"

Pei Rui looked at her suspiciously, thinking that he must let her watch less eight o'clock stalls in the future.

"No, don't think about it. ”
