Chapter 301: Back to England
Chapter 301: Return to England
……
The invitation from Citi was not the only one Guo Shouyun received. There are many more people who come to the door through various acquaintances and want to build relationships. This kind of thing has never been just a patent of China, and everyone is the same at the level of human nature.
It was just the attitude of the Schiff family that surprised him.
Looking at the authentic work of Tang Yin's "Zhongzhou Lansheng Order" in front of him, Guo Shouyun couldn't guess for a while what kind of attention this old family that had conflicts with him was paying attention to?
"Forget it, no matter what they think, with my current strength, it is enough to deal with all changes without change!"
When the thought fell, Guo Shouyun stood up, "Wendy, put this painting in the collection!"
"Yes!"
"By the way, how many signatures does that Da Vinci's Salvator Mundi have now?"
"We already have the signatures of seven experts, including Professors Peter Robert and Charles Hamstrong of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Professor Motimo Adler of the British Museum, and now we are seeking the signatures of the Italian experts of Leonardo da Vinci. Wendy replied.
Leonardo da Vinci's paintings are too valuable to be trusted without sufficient proof.
"Pay attention to the protection of it. When the appraisal is completed, remember to notify me as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
After answering, Wendy turned around and walked out of the study with the rolled-up Tang Yin's authentic handwriting. After Guo Shouyun sighed, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window next to him, looking at the intoxicating autumn scenery under the bright sunlight outside, and couldn't help but think of his wife and children in the UK.
When I first returned to the United States, I only planned to stay here for a week and then go back. Unexpectedly, dealing with the internal affairs of Anping Company, as well as socializing, delayed him for nearly a month. In the past month, he can only rely on phone calls to comfort the pain of lovesickness, and he no longer wants to stay here.
"It's time to go back, too. Listening to Molly, the two little ones have grown up a lot, and I really want to hug them now!" For first-time fathers, children are the greatest happiness.
At the same time, thousands of miles away in the United Kingdom.
"Why did you come back? Didn't I tell you not to come back?" scolded, Hills-Francis Balin as he looked at the pale, gloomy young man in front of him.
"My dear Uncle Hills, are you afraid that I will trouble you?"
The young man smiled, picked up the apple on the table, and took a bite, seemingly unimpressed by his anger.
"You still have the face to say. If it weren't for you, I would be where I am now?" said Hills-Francis Barin angrily.
"Where are you now? You still have the Manor of Simadon, and the 1,500-acre farm of Big Omar. Oh my god, I don't have anything right now, and I'm wanted by the damn cops...!"
"You brought it on yourself!" Shears said coldly.
"Yes, I did all of this. But don't you, dear Uncle Shears, be the same now?... So, don't blame me, everything you have now is also your own fault!"
"Hmph, in that case, why are you coming back to me?"
"I want a sum of money!"
"I don't have any money, my money has already been spent in your stupid plan!"
"Smack...!"
Looking at the black Beretta pistol that was pressed against his head, revealing a cold texture and murderous aura, Hills's face instantly turned pale.
"What do you want to do?"
"I want money, £1,000,000!"
Watching the madness that erupted from his bloodshot eyeballs, Hills looked nervous. He realized that it was no longer the proud and confident nephew Oliver Balin who was standing in front of him, but a desperate madman.
"Okay, I'll give you the money. But you have to promise that you will never come back and harass me after you get the money!"
"Of course, I promise!"
After taking a deep breath, Shears took the checkbook out of his pocket, signed his name, and handed it over. "Standard Chartered Bank's £1 million cash cheque, this is my last home!"
After snatching it up and taking a look, Oliver Balin had a satisfied smile on his face.
"Thanks, Uncle Shears!"
Looking at the back of the person who turned to leave after putting down the gun, "Where are you going?"
"Leave England after revenge. Don't worry, I won't be coming back!"
"Revenge?"
Hills shook his head, "Whatever you're going to do doesn't matter to me!"
Having lost most of his wealth, he is like an eagle falcon with broken wings, and has lost the hope and confidence to soar into the blue sky. Now the most important thing he thinks about is to keep his current wealth and maintain the legacy of the Bahraini family.
……
"I'm back!"
Back at his manor house in England, he couldn't help but shout as soon as he stepped into the bedroom.
Molly Bevan, who was lying on the bed reading a book, looked at her husband who suddenly appeared in surprise, and hurriedly put down everything in her hand to greet her.
"Why did you come back all of a sudden?
After smiling and hugging his lover into his arms, and silently passing on the warmth, Guo Shouyun took out the 12-carat pink diamond he bought from Christie's autumn auction from his pocket and handed it over.
"A gift for you!"
"Thank you! I love it!"
"If you like it, if you like. By the way, what about the two little ones?" The empty crib made Guo Shouyun a little disappointed.
"Uncle Blair and Aunt Mary pushed them to the back garden to play!"
"Uncle Blair, Aunt Mary?
"Came three days ago. Why, didn't they tell you?" said Molly Bevan.
"No!" Guo Shouyun shook his head, "Let's go, let's go and have a look at the back." ”
Molly nodded, and the two of them turned and walked out of the room together.
After the back garden of Bewen Manor has been repaired and tidied up, and after continuous and uninterrupted embellishment, it has long been desolate when Guo Shouyun first saw it. On the contrary, against the backdrop of those herbs, vines and trees that have grown for hundreds of years, there is a natural beauty that penetrates the expanse of history.
Guo Shouyun likes it very much. Likewise, Molly Bevan loves the seclusion and nature of the place. When the two were together before, they would take a walk along the lawn in the back garden every day to communicate their thoughts and maintain the temperature of their relationship.
So, every time I step into the back garden, there is an inexplicable sense of anticipation.
After walking around the various flowers planted at the back of the house and the unique flower wall, the eyes suddenly opened up. The two soon saw two middle-aged and elderly couples pushing carts on the lawn in the distance.
"Uncle Blair, Aunt Mary!"
Guo Shouyun greeted loudly.
For these two old couples who have nurtured him, Guo Shouyun has great respect in his heart.
When he pulled Molly to meet him quickly, the other party also came over with a stroller.
"Bruce, you're back?"
"Well, I'll be back when I'm done with New York!" Guo Shouyun nodded.
"Uncle Blair, Aunt Mary, why don't you come and tell me, I'll arrange for someone to pick you up!"
"You stinky boy. Looking for a wife, you haven't told us about having a baby!" said Blair Lincoln with dissatisfaction in his tone.
Guo Shouyun smiled embarrassedly, "Didn't I have time!"
"Okay, just say a few words. Bruce didn't mean to!" After stopping her husband's grumbling, "Bruce, is it okay for Blair and I to stay with you a little longer?"
"Of course you can, you can stay as long as you want!" Guo Shouyun hurriedly said.
"That's good! So we can spend more time with these two little ones. Look how cute they look!"
"These two little cubs look a lot like Bruce when he was a kid!"
After patting her husband, Mary said angrily: "Guard Molly, what crazy are you talking about!"
"Hehe, haha. Molly, don't mind, I'm used to talking foul language to those rough guys on the farm. Blair said with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"It's fine! Bruce does that a lot!" Molly Bevin smiled.
"I...!"
Guo Shouyun, who was just about to defend himself, looked at his wife's expression and instantly understood.
"Yes, yes, it's okay, Uncle Blair!"
"That's good, that's good!"
"I'll look at the kids!"
This is what Guo Shouyun has in mind. When he saw two babies lying in the cradle, with big eyes and babbling in their mouths, and occasionally waving their little fists, or kicking their little feet, all longing and longing turned to pity.
Children are the pistachios of the family. Even if they can't speak yet, it makes Guo Shouyun and them full of joy all the time.
In the evening, after Molly Bevan breastfed her son and daughter, she lay down next to Guo Shouyun.
"Both children are asleep?"
"Hmm!"
After noticing the hesitation on his lover's face, Guo Shouyun was surprised: "Something?"
"Tomorrow I want to go to London!"
"What are you doing in London?"
Although there is no custom of confinement in the West, Guo Shouyun, who is an Oriental at heart, still insisted on letting Molly rest at home for a month.
Fortunately, Molly Bevan, who has Chinese ancestry and knows more about oriental customs, also obediently stopped Guo Shouyun's words.
"Mr. Wayne called and wanted me to participate in the annual exhibition of young painters held by Gagosian Gallery!"
Looking at the longing in Molly's eyes, Guo Shouyun nodded after thinking about it. Although he is wealthy, he does not have the idea that a woman must stay at home to teach her husband and children. On the contrary, he is very supportive of Molly Bevan's career pursuits. Because a woman with her own independent personality, thoughts, and pursuits can truly have lasting charm. Otherwise, if you go around the kitchen at home every day, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will become a yellow-faced woman.
"When?"
"The day after tomorrow!"
"I happen to be going to London the day after tomorrow, so let's go together then!"
"Really?" said Molly Bevan in surprise.
"Of course!"
"Thank you, husband!"
"You're welcome. But what about the kids?"
"I go in the morning and come back in the evening. In the middle, I will use the breast pump to leave enough milk in the fridge. Just let Aunt Mary and Liv take care of Elizabeth and George!" Molly Bevan snapped.
Apparently she had already paid attention to this.
"Alright then!"
After nodding, Guo Shouyun put the company's financial statements in his hand on the bedside table, and then took off his pajamas.
"What are you doing?"
"Of course I have to love you well, I've endured it for more than half a year!"
"No, the kid is still next door!"
"Don't worry, Liv and Alyssa will take care of it......!"
