For a while, the atmosphere on the table was a little frozen, Bai Yuqian Gu thought to herself for a while, only to find that no one spoke, and noticed Ling Yuanhui's slightly embarrassed expression, and hurriedly smiled: "It's because I don't treat guests well, those unpleasant things, let's not mention them, let's talk about something else, right?"
Yue Ningzhi immediately responded, and casually asked Ling Yuanhui: "You bought such a big house, are you planning to get married?"
Ling Yuanhui was not embarrassed, and his expression became shy again: "Of course I want to start a family, after all, I am not young, but now I am too busy at work, and my girlfriend has also been blown, Mr. Fu is joking with me, maybe the two of us will end up as a pair of singles." โ
"If Fu Junruo is a well-known wealthy man in Rongcheng, he is more diligent in changing girlfriends than changing clothes, and if he is not married, it does not mean that he is a bachelor. Yue Ningzhi said sarcastically.
"I don't dare to comment on my boss's private life. Ling Yuanhui smiled and waved his hand.
Feeling that the topic was back to Fu Junruo, Bai Yuqian was a little helpless, so she simply raised the orange juice in her hand and said to Ling Yuanhui: "Assistant Ling, thank you for helping us last time about my father." โ
Ling Yuanhui immediately shook his head: "Miss Bai, you are polite, of course I will try my best to handle the matter arranged by Mr. Fu, in fact, I can't say that I can't help, Mr. Bai's problem can be solved so quickly, and it is also because the witness suddenly withdrew by himself." โ
"I just feel strange, at the beginning, that Wei Chongda was quite loud, I felt that he had the whole truth, as long as he told it, all the doubts could be dissipated, how could he come to the end, and he would withdraw when he said it?" Yue Ning had a puzzled expression.
Ling Yuanhui also seemed to feel incredible: "I heard that the court admonished him because of Wei Chongda's sudden withdrawal of the certificate, but that person has changed his mind, and the court can't force him, according to Wei Chongda's teachings, he is not in good health and is easily impulsive, so he said something brainless." โ
Bai Yuqian couldn't help but ask her suspicions: "It is said that that person has been receiving funding from the Fu family?"
"Mr. Fu and I were surprised by this matter," Ling Yuanhui replied patiently: "I later asked people to check, Wei Chongda is indeed one of the beneficiaries of the Fu family's critical illness support project, I heard that this person's condition is critical, and the funding objects of this kind of project are all applied for by himself or his family, and the recipients are selected by professional institutions, that is to say, Mr. Fu does not know this person." โ
Speaking of this, Ling Yuanhui looked at Bai Yuqian: "Mr. Fu doesn't need to buy Wei Chongda, he has no prejudice against Mr. Baishan, and this matter is ...... for Mr. Fu Nothing good. โ
"Mr. Fu doesn't know, what about Mrs. Fu?" Yue Ning smiled: "Lin Panpan's father is the deceased in the case back then, if Mrs. Fu helped her goddaughter take the opportunity to vent her personal anger on Yu Qian, it makes sense logically." โ
Ling Yuanhui's expression was a little helpless, and he probably didn't feel good to answer, so he could only scratch his head.
Bai Yuqian hurriedly stopped Yue Ningzhi, she was kind enough to invite someone to dinner, not to mention that it turned into a crusade in the end, making the guests uncomfortable, it would be boring.
Yue Ningzhi obviously didn't want to give up, and continued to ask, "How is Wei Chongda now?"
"As far as I know, he has taken the initiative to terminate his acceptance of the subsidy on the grounds that his condition is stable and he has basically recovered," Ling Yuanhui replied, and then said: "It is said that Wei Chongda went abroad for treatment." โ
"He got rich?" Yue Ningzhi grasped the key question.
"Who knows. Ling Yuanhui shrugged.
"Why don't you change the subject?" Bai Yuqian interjected at this time,
Yue Ningzhi finally didn't continue to ask, and when he talked about it later, it was all innocuous astronomy and geography, until the end of the meal, it could be regarded as a pleasure for the guests and hosts.
In the afternoon of the next day, Bai Yuqian made a private appointment to meet Mrs. Fu, and did not bother Lao Feng to pick it up, and after asking for the address, she took a taxi to a private gallery called "Shiping Pavilion".
The gallery is located in the western suburbs of Rongcheng, in fact, it is not far from the Fu family's mansion, which is about the distance between the bottom of the mountain and the middle of the mountain.
The Shiping Pavilion is a U-shaped flat-roofed brick house, the gray wall is located in the middle of a large green lawn, and the stone-paved path leads to the road outside, the whole building looks quiet and slightly bland, and the brilliant thing is the wide and tall pine and cypress all around, which completely enhances the aura of the Shiping Pavilion.
Bai Yuqian walked to the main entrance of Shiping Pavilion and looked through the glass.
Soon someone greeted her, it was a short-haired lady who looked like she was in her early 40s, and when she saw Bai Yuqian, the other party took the initiative to greet her: "Miss Bai, the old lady called me and said that there was a distinguished guest arriving today, and I asked me to help her receive her." โ
"Excuse me!" Bai Yuqian nodded at the other party, saw the door open, and walked into the gallery.
"My surname is Li, and I'm the curator here. The other party introduced himself.
Bai Yuqian took the initiative to stretch out her hand: "I'm Bai Yuqian, it's nice to meet you!"
Director Li looked at Bai Yuqian for a moment: "I have watched Miss Bai's ballet before, but I didn't expect that the real person is even more brilliant than the stage." โ
Bai Yuqian was a little embarrassed to be praised, and involuntarily touched her face, then looked around and asked, "Is Old Madam Fu here?"
"There is a guest over there in the mansion, the old lady is talking with you, let you sit here for a while, if Miss Bai is interested, I will take you to visit the gallery?"
"Okay, I've heard the old lady mention the Shiping Pavilion before, and it is said that there are a lot of collections here, and it's really the first time I've come here," Bai Yuqian replied with a smile: "It seems that it can be an eye-opener." โ
"This private gallery has been built for nearly half a century, and it has a collection of nearly 100 paintings by famous artists from all over the world from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the present," said Director Li as he walked in front. โ
As they spoke, the two walked into a long corridor in the east, and under the soft light, they could see that oil paintings of different styles were hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor.
Bai Yuqian walked to the end, stood still in front of a portrait, and actually looked at it for a long time.
"This is when Mr. Fu was alive, he specially invited a foreign realist oil painter to paint, and the old man was holding his eldest grandson in his arms," Speaking of this, Director Li looked at Bai Yuqian: "Miss Bai should know Mr. Fu Junruo." โ
Bai Yuqian felt quite novel, the child in Mr. Fu's arms was only two or three years old, his face was still ignorant, and he was staring at the person holding him without blinking, and after a closer look, the child's eyes were indeed somewhat similar to Fu Junruo.
Curator Li has been observing Bai Yuqian, and Bai Yuqian inadvertently turned his head, only to find that he had become the scenery in the eyes of Curator Li.
At the end of the corridor of "qieqie......", there was the child's small milk voice.
Bai Yuqian looked over, it turned out that Yiyi was hugged, obviously the child had recognized Bai Yuqian, and excitedly stretched out his little arm to her.
Bai Yuqian stepped forward quickly and took Yiyi from the hands of a nanny-looking woman.
"I forgot to say it just now, the old lady instructed Aunt Wu to bring Yiyi over to see Miss Bai first. Director Li said with a smile.
After a few days of not seeing each other, Yiyi was as intimate as ever with Bai Yuqian, and at this time she hugged Bai Yuqian's neck and buried her little face in her arms.
Bai Yuqian kissed the child's head and couldn't help laughing.
"Yiyi likes Miss Bai so much!" said Curator Li.
The child has always been impatient to stay in the house, and hugged Yiyi in the gallery and walked around, and Bai Yuqian took Yiyi, who was obviously anxious, outside.
Aunt Wu, the nanny who followed them, said to Bai Yuqian: "Yiyi is very good now, and she is already learning to walk by herself." โ
Bai Yuqian lowered her head and asked Yiyi in her arms: "Little lazy worm, are you finally willing to go?"
Yiyi seemed to understand, and pointed to the ground with her hand.
"She wants to take a few steps for Miss Bai!" Aunt Wu said with a smile.
Bai Yuqian looked around, and took Yiyi to the east wall of the gallery, which was a little cooler in the afternoon.
Yiyi, who was put on the lawn, hesitated, first tried it on the ground with her feet, and then walked up, but the child's steps were unsteady and he was staggering several times.
Bai Yuqian looked funny, followed Yiyi, held her arm with both hands, and turned around with her aimlessly.
There was a sound of parking not far away, Aunt Wu looked outside through the wall, and said, "Madame is here!"
Bai Yuqian sighed in her heart, she didn't know if it was a narrow road, but she actually met Mrs. Fu here, who was said to have gone abroad to relax.
Yiyi suddenly refused to move forward, and turned around and hugged Bai Yuqian's legs.
Feeling that she was tired, Bai Yuqian picked up Yiyi, and then raised her head and looked at Mrs. Fu in the distance.
Mrs. Fu, who got out of the car, walked straight to the gallery without squinting, and behind her, another car also stopped, it was a Rolls-Royce.
Fu Junruo also appeared, Bai Yuqian only felt ridiculous, some people really couldn't hide, and the people who were originally going to be able to see but not see still ran into it.
"gege......" Yiyi naturally saw Fu Junruo, raised her little head, and said to Bai Yuqian.
Bai Yuqian smiled and shook her head at Yiyi, and when she looked over there again, Fu Junruo had already followed Mrs. Fu, obviously, the mother and son didn't notice their side.
