278 The past is like smoke
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of Strong Locked Marriage: Fu Shao's Dumb New Wife!
"You, how did you find this painting......" The old man muttered to himself, glanced back at Qi Lingyang, and only felt a little weird.
It was said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and as soon as he mentioned the painter here, Su Xiang found out his painting.
Qi Lingyang also looked at the old man, and walked towards Su Xiang. The old man stood on the side with his hands behind his back, watched Su Xiang open the sealed paper there, pointed, raised his head and said to Qi Lingyang slowly: "Oh, he is the painter who was with Shen Yan back then." Hey......" The old man sighed and shook his head, and glanced at Su Xiang again, feeling a sense of making people happy.
Qi Lingyang and Su Xiang's eyes touched, both of them looked awe-inspired, in order to prevent the old man from noticing the abnormality, both of them remained silent, Su Xiang endured the surging excitement in his chest, and his fingers trembled a little.
The painter who was with Shen Yan back then was called Ye Cheng? So, what was the matter with Yan Lin, who was her friend? Could she be mistaken?
No matter what, Su Xiang calmed down, opened the last piece of paper, and a beautiful painting appeared in front of him, under the soft light, the painting seemed to be gentle, making people feel warm and smart.
Su Xiang looked at the painting with bated breath, there was no movement for a long time, the old man looked at it in his eyes, thinking that Su Xiang was amazed by this painting, and a shrewd light crossed his eyes. He coughed lightly and said, "It seems that Miss Su has an eye for this painting." ”
Su Xiang didn't respond to him, he just continued to look at the painting, completely unable to take his eyes off the painting.
The structure of the painting is very special, a bunch of ginger flowers is held by a pair of soft hands, the flowers cover the woman's face, and only a pair of bright smiling eyes can be seen through the gap between the flowers, as if the flower is her, she is the flower.
Eye...... Mother......
Even if there is no Shen Yan in this world, she has always remembered those smiling eyes.
Su Xiang couldn't help but reach out and touch those eyes, and when she was about to touch them, the old man suddenly stopped her and said, "Don't, don't touch." ”
The old man looked excited, his body reflexively half-squatted, and his hands stretched out forward to make a stopping motion. Su Xiang was abruptly interrupted and startled, and looked at the old man in astonishment, and the old man immediately said, "The paint on this painting is not ordinary paint. After saying that, he glanced at the painting with a look on his face.
Su Xiang looked down, although it was very old, compared to those antique paintings, it had only been more than thirty years, and the colors were as good as new, so he couldn't see anything special. The old man squatted down, pointed to the flowers, and said, "At that time, Ye Cheng graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and studied ancient painting pigments. All the paints in his paintings are made by himself. ”
Su Xiang was silent, and when she heard others tell the story of that person, she didn't dare to breathe loudly, for fear of missing a word. She has studied Chinese painting, has a bit of art skills, and knows that when some people are obsessed with painting, they will mix their own paints, and some even use gemstones to grind into powder, so there are paintings that have not faded for thousands of years.
Su Xiang didn't know what raw materials Ye Cheng used to make such a color, but it must have been carefully developed by him.
The woman on this is his favorite. But why would he entrust such a precious painting to such a greasy old man to sell?
Su Xiang asked the question in his heart, looked up at the old man calmly, and said calmly: "Oh? It turns out that this Ye Cheng is so talented. But why is his painting here? And because of this man's talent, he shouldn't be unknown, why have I never heard of it?"
The old man took out the chair and sat down, his face showed regret again, and he said, "Hey, it's all a love word......
He glanced at Su Xiang, seemed to be afraid, and closed his mouth. Su Xiang and Qi Lingyang glanced at each other, she was the daughter of Su Mingdong and Shen Yan, and the old man probably cared about this.
Su Xiang smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to shy away from it. I also like to listen to the stories of talented and beautiful women. ”
The old man grinned, smiled and said, "Miss Su chose this painting, and it was also fate. The person in this painting is your mother Shen Yan, I guess Miss Su also recognized it just now, right?"
Su Xiang inherited a pair of Shen Yan's eyes, and when he smiled, his eyes were crooked like the moon, watery and clear, almost the same as those in the painting.
The old man turned his head to look at the painting, as if with emotion, and said again: "That is, you found out, I haven't seen it myself for many years, and I almost forgot it...... Fate, fate, ......"
Su Xiang looked at him, pursed his lips, and took the opportunity to ask: "Since this painting is related to my mother, and she is no longer alive, as a child, since I know that there is such a past, if Mr. He is willing, you might as well say more, and I can also understand her past." ”
The old man glanced at her, pondered for a while, nodded and said quickly: "Okay, you are Shen Yan's daughter, and you should want to know." ”
"Ye Cheng and Shen Yan, many years ago, were a couple who loved each other very much. Talented and beautiful, at that time in China, the art field was still in its infancy, Ye Cheng was full of ambition and longed for the palace of art. Shen Yan studied classical art, and the two matched each other and studied together, and Ye Cheng's agent at that time was Shen Yan. ”
Su Xiang frowned slightly, you can imagine the picture of the two of them loving each other and supporting each other at that time. Ye Cheng was not yet famous, Shen Yan knew how to paint, but he had no connections, so he helped sell around, and the two of them went through together.
“…… Later, Shen Yan met Su Mingdong, that is, Miss Su's father, at an appreciation meeting. At that time, Shen Yan wanted to push Ye Cheng's paintings out, but he laid the foundation for their separation in the future......"
The old man said something slowly, and those words were also very subtle and subtle for the sake of Su Xiang, but Su Xiang could get a message from his words.
More than 30 years ago, the perception of art in China was not as popular as it is now, and most of the group gatherings such as appreciation meetings were upper-class people or Kochios.
The following stories, Su Xiang has already learned from Qi Haipeng and Su Run, and they are not much different from what the old man said.
Su Xiang looked at the old man in front of him who was immersed in the past, and asked softly, "What about you, who are you?"
"Later, Shen Yan married Su Mingdong, so what about the painter? Shen Yan is no longer his agent, why did he leave his paintings to you to take care of?"
Ye Cheng handed over the painting to him to take care of, and he must be very trusting. Does this old man still keep in touch with Ye Cheng?
Su Xiang had a little hope burning in his heart, and looked at him with burning eyes.
The old man touched his goatee and said in a deep tone: "I studied with him under a mentor, and I am his senior brother. However, I knew that I was not talented enough, so I didn't continue to paint. At that time, for most people, buying a four-piece set at home was the goal, and who had the heart to buy a painter for it. ”
The old man snorted lightly, as if he didn't think much of Ye Cheng's single-minded pursuit of art at that time: "But not at home, there are people abroad who understand art and are very interested in Chinese painting." At that time, I made some achievements in the industry, and when I returned to China, I heard about Ye Cheng. ”
Ye Cheng wanted to become famous, but he didn't expect Shen Yan to leave him. It was a big blow to him, but his ideals did not change. I took his painting and took it out and sold it. ”
Su Xiang saw from the old man's face that his eyes were shining, showing a very proud look, thinking about it, Ye Cheng's paintings brought him a lot of benefits, but Qi Haipeng clearly said that Ye Cheng was not famous. Could it be that he used the name of another celebrity painter, or did it mean that because the old man sold his paintings to foreigners, there was no repercussion in China?
Su Xiang: "But ......"
The old man seemed to know what she was trying to say, and said, "Don't get me wrong. I know that Ye Cheng wants to be famous, and he is desperate to become famous, and he has been painting like crazy for ten years, day and night. How could he possibly allow me to sell his paintings under someone else's name. ”
Su Xiang exhaled lightly, then it was the latter, the old man sold Ye Cheng's paintings to foreigners.
Wait, those ten years?
She furrowed her eyebrows slightly, her eyes moved slightly, and her mind flickered.
Shen Yan was forcibly married by Su Mingdong, Ye Cheng must be unwilling, so he is more eager to become famous and accumulate wealth, he wants to quickly obtain a certain social status, so that he can take Shen Yan back. Therefore, after ten years, he came back and wanted to take Shen Yan away and fly away, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Su Mingdong.
Su Run said that that day, Shen Yan had blood on his body when he was taken home by Su Mingdong, that is, Su Mingdong injured Ye Cheng, maybe ...... Kill him?
Thinking of this, Su Xiang's heart trembled, and he raised his eyes to look at Qi Lingyang, Qi Lingyang looked at her, shook his head gently, and motioned to her to calm down first.
Su Xiang took a light breath and said, "What about later? It stands to reason that later, the general environment in China improved, and more and more people understood art. If Ye Cheng continues like this, he will definitely become famous, why is there no news?"
The old man showed that look of pity again, his fingers touched the frame, he shook his head and said, "I don't know." I lost touch with him for a long time, and one day he came to me out of the blue, handed me the painting, and asked me to give him a large sum of money. At that time, he seemed to be seriously injured, and his whole body was very haggard. Then he disappeared, and I haven't seen him since......"
Su Xiang opened his lips slightly, and pressed it again when he wanted to say something.
Ye was injured, he didn't even want Shen Yan's paintings, he loved Shen Yan so much, was he willing to do it? Or was it because Su Mingdong had played some tricks to make him penniless and could only sell paintings?
Su Mingdong was ruthless to him, he should have taken the money and stayed away from here. But he could come back to Shen Yan for ten years, why didn't he appear again?
After being exposed to too much information at once, Su Xiang was upset at this time, and her mind was in a hurry, she stabilized her mind and asked, "However, since Ye Cheng's painting can be sold for a high price, why do you keep this painting and not sell it?"
The old man said: "This painting is his own treasure, and it is also the only painting he left with me. With Ye Cheng's talent, I believe that if he waits a little longer, when he comes out of the mountain again, he will definitely become famous, so I think about waiting for the price to sell at that time. You know, all painters, once famous, their early paintings are very valuable. However, he never appeared again, disappeared, without a trace. ”
The old man shrugged his shoulders, and he could tell that he had looked for it, but he could no longer find this person.
Su Xiang and Qi Lingyang glanced at each other, after listening to the story of the old man here, they should also leave. Qi Lingyang smiled and said: "Since Su Xiang has a relationship with this painting, I also asked Mr. He to make a private collection, this painting, I want it." ”
The old man's shrewd eyes flashed, chrysanthemum wrinkles squeezed out of the corners of his eyes, and his chubby cheeks glittered in the light, he wrote a string of numbers on the tore off cover, and said with a smile: "I have been in this industry for so many years, and I have never encountered such a fateful thing." Since the person in the painting is Miss Su's mother, it can be regarded as returning to the original owner. ”
Qi Lingyang glanced at the string of numbers, and raised his eyebrows slightly, a very high number. He nodded, and didn't even blink an eye in approval. A painting, to get so much information, is worth it.
He said: "Please ask the old gentleman to wrap the painting carefully, and thank the old gentleman in advance." ”
The old man sold the painting at a high price, and naturally he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered his subordinates to carefully wrap the painting, Qi Lingyang thought of something, and asked: "Old man, has anyone else seen this painting?"
The old man was stunned, shook his head and said, "This painting has been on hold except when I changed venues." ”
Speaking of this, he exhaled, still thinking that the person might come back, so he deliberately kept it, even if he came back in the future, he would not see it.
Su Xiang turned his head to look at Qi Lingyang, his palm was on her shoulder, and he took her out first, and the old man looked at the painting that was being repacked with a smile, as if looking at a box of RMB.
When Su Xiang walked to the stairs, her footsteps suddenly paused, and she turned around and said, "By the way, old man, do you know Yan Lin, Mr. Yan?"
"Huh?" said the old man with a very blank expression on his face, "Who are you talking about?"
I don't know...... Su Xiang shook his head, squeezed a smile and said, "It's okay." ”
……
In the car, Su Xiang was preoccupied, she had always substituted Yan Lin into the role of her father, but now there was another Ye Cheng, and the whole person was in chaos, she needed to think about it again.
Pearl was tired, and fell asleep quietly in her arms, and she didn't know what she dreamed of, her little mouth was slightly open and she smiled sweetly, and her little head arched over her. Su Xiang came back to his senses, hugged the little girl and changed into a comfortable position, and when he looked up, he saw Fu Ying's dark eyes looking at her silently.
Su Xiang touched his head and asked softly, "Tired?"
Fu Ying shook his head, leaned on her arm and whispered, "Are you unhappy?"
Did you buy a very expensive painting, so you feel distressed?
Su Xiang touched his beautiful eyes and said, "I'm not upset, my mother bought a priceless painting today, so I have more ideas." ”
"Oh......" Fu Ying nodded, thinking to himself what a priceless painting should look like, better than those famous paintings at the art exhibition?
"Can I take a look?" he asked.
Su Xiang looked at the little guy with a serious and pious look, when he was born, Shen Yan was no longer there, and the child had never seen her, his grandmother.
Su Xiang said gently: "Of course you can, you will definitely like it very much." ”
Back in Xiangyuan, Pearl was sent to the children's room to sleep, Fu Ying's homework was not finished, Su Xiang asked him to write his homework first. In the studio, Ye Cheng's painting sits on her desk. Qi Lingyang looked at the painting with low eyes, and when he heard Su Xiang's footsteps, he turned his head to look over, Su Xiang walked in and stood at the table, and the two looked at the painting together.
Su Xiang said: "Yan Lin, Ye Cheng, what do you think of these two people?"
Qi Lingyang took out a piece of paper from the printer and handed it to her, "You take a look at this first." ”
Su Xiang picked it up and looked at it, and it was about Nanxing Company. More than 20 years ago, he made his fortune on a rubber plantation in Malaysia, and the founder was Yan Lin.
Qi Lingyang said: "After listening to Old Man He's words and this painting, do you think that Ye Cheng and Yan Lin are just two people who are related?"
Su Xiang said: "What do you think?"
Qi Lingyang opened the office chair, the wheels made a soft gurgling sound on the floor, he asked Su Xiang to sit on it, and he half sat on the desk, he said: "A man is seriously injured, and his beloved woman has not been successfully taken away. Su Mingdong would not let him go, and he was deeply humiliated, and the grudge would only get deeper and deeper. ”
"Changing your name and surname, changing your face, and taking revenge that has been dormant for more than 20 years, how likely do you think this is?"
Su Xiang's arm was on the armrest, she grabbed the soft leather on it, slowly curled her fingers and said: "Do you think that he sold the painting to Old Man He at that time and then went to Malaysia, and used that money to regroup, in order to avoid Su Mingdong, and in order to implement his plan, he changed his name and surname, changed his face, and when he returned, he was bound to repay it a hundred times?"
Qi Lingyang nodded, glanced at the information and said, "The time when Nanxing Company was established and the time when Ye Cheng disappeared was only two years apart, so I have reason to be so suspicious. That painter is Ye Cheng, who is also Yan Lin. ”
"But, why is he-" Su Xiang only stopped halfway through speaking, Ye was seriously injured and could no longer continue painting, so he lost his dream of becoming a great painter and turned to business, in order to better implement his revenge plan.
If it weren't for that, there would be no way to explain why Yan Lin wanted to deal with the Su family like that, and wanted the entire Su family to be ruined, and even the land was lifted. If it's just for friends, it's too much.
Su Xiang twisted her fingers, raised her eyes to look at the ginger flower on the painting, and she said, "But, he loves Shen Yan so much, he came back for revenge, why didn't he take her again?"
If it had been taken away at that time, there would have been no such thing.
Yan Lin, who returned again, was a successful businessman, not a painter Ye Cheng, he was more powerful than Ye Cheng, but he did not take Shen Yan away. If it was just because he didn't want to startle the snake, he could take Shen Yan away at the end, when Su Mingdong was cornered, and Su Mingdong at that time was definitely not his opponent.
In addition, he succeeded in revenge in the end, why didn't he show up from beginning to end, just drowned in the crowd, didn't he enjoy the happy G feeling of revenge success?
Could it be that they had met before, but Shen Yan had promised Su Mingdong that he would not leave him, so he gave up and fled?
As soon as he thought of this, Su Xiang's whole heart sank, could it be that it was because of her in the end?
She covered her face, and her mind was still messed up. Qi Lingyang stroked her hair and said, "Perhaps, Ye Cheng's ...... when he returns" He paused and said, "Yan Lin, his heart for Shen Yan is no longer what it used to be. ”
Su Xiang's body stiffened slightly, raised his head, looked at him with blank eyes, and then slowly focused. When Qi Lingyang was in the gallery, he asked Old Man He the last question......
"You mean," she said...... He was completely blinded by revenge, and he didn't even care about Shen Yan?"
Yes, Yan Lin and Old Man He knew each other, but even if Yan Lin avoided being recognized by him, he could have asked Yan Gu to take back the painting, but the painting was completely forgotten in that corner.
Qi Lingyang held her hand and put it on his lap, looked at Su Xiang calmly with his eyes and said, "He came back as a successful businessman, and with the importance of that painting to him, he has enough financial resources to buy back that painting." However, he completely ignored this important painting, which gave him the capital to start a business. ”
"I think it's not just that I'm blinded by hatred, it's that something else happened before that made Yan Lin change her heart for her. ”
Su Xiang opened his lips: "What's the matter?"
Qi Lingyang said: "This, only the parties know." He turned his body halfway, glanced at the painting and said, "Su Xiang, I think we should go to the Pillow Garden once." ”
Su Xiang's gaze looked over together and fell on the painting.
If Yan Lin was really Ye Cheng, could he still be indifferent?
……
Mid-levels villas.
Fu Hanchuan returned to the Fu Mansion, the huge mansion was deserted, he had long been accustomed to such desertion, he took off his suit, threw it on the sofa casually, and then poured a glass of water upstairs.
Song's mother came back from shopping for groceries, and when she saw the suitcase in the living room, she knew that Fu Hanchuan was back, she looked upstairs, put the dishes into the kitchen first, and then went upstairs.
Fu Hanchuan was in the study, and Mother Song knocked on the door, pushed it open and said, "Mr. Fu, you're back." ”
Fu Hanchuan checked his email on the computer, and when he heard the words, he only hummed, and Song's mother said, "Young Master Fu Ying went to Mrs. Xiangyuan, do you want him to come back?"
Fu Hanchuan's fingers tapping on the keyboard paused, raised his eyes to look at Song's mother and said, "He didn't go to the extracurricular training class?"
Mother Song immediately covered for Fu Ying and said, "The little master is alone at home, and it happened to be the weekend, and the wife could take care of him and let him go." ”
Fu Hanchuan frowned slightly, didn't say anything, waved his hand, after Song's mother left, he took out his mobile phone and called Fu Ying, and the little guy said that he would go home immediately after receiving the call, without a word.
HALF AN HOUR LATER, FU HANCHUAN WAS STANDING OUTSIDE THE GATE OF FU'S MANSION, HE WAS WEARING CASUAL LOUNGEWEAR, WALKING BACK AND FORTH TWICE, A RED COOPER CAME INTO VIEW, AND THEN SLOWLY STOPPED, THE WHEELS CRUSHED ON THE ROAD, MAKING A RUSTLING SOUND......
