Chapter 152: A 20,000-dollar violin
"Impulse is the devil?" Murong Hong crossed his arms in front of his chest and pouted, "Haven't you heard another sentence?" ”
"What?" The man was stunned.
"Beauty is the devil! Yes, this beauty is the devil! Since I am the devil, then you have nothing to say to me, the devil. ”
The man shook his head, "It's the first time I've heard a beautiful woman compare herself to a devil, it's so new. ”
"Fresh size! Huang Pinwen, let's go, don't bother to pay attention to this guy! ”
"Oh." Huang Pinwen replied and turned around, "I'm sorry, this brother, my sister is indeed a little more impulsive, please forgive me." ”
The man smiled and said nothing.
However, the two of them had only taken a few steps before the man's voice sounded behind them.
"What? Just go! You didn't have compensation, so you just patted your ass and left? ”
Murong Hong turned his head and walked over again, looking at this guy.
"What, what are you kid planning to blackmail? This beauty, no, this devil never beats people and does not compensate, even if it is the wrong person! ”
"You don't have to compensate me for my physical damage, but what about my piano!" The man was calm at first, but then he became agitated, and he pointed to the broken violin on the ground across the street, "You broke my violin, shouldn't you compensate me for the damage?" ”
Dare to be affectionate, this man regards this piano as more important than his body?
"I'll pay, I'll pay!" Huang Pinwen was afraid of causing trouble, so he hurriedly took out a stack of money from his wallet, "This is two thousand yuan, can I compensate you for your loss?" ”
"Wait!" Murong Hong was anxious, and pressed Huang Pinwen's hand, "I said, Huang Pinwen, where did you get this money from?" ”
"Isn't this just taken out of a bank ATM?"
"Is the bank ATM using my bank card?"
"Yes, yes." Huang Pinwen nodded.
"What are you kidding, this is my money, okay?" Murong Hong was annoyed, "Oh, you take my money to give favors to others?" You're very generous! ”
"You're a couple of two, aren't you? Your money, of course, is also his money, so why divide each other? Unexpectedly, the man was not polite at all, so he simply snatched the two thousand yuan from Huang Pinwen's hand and put it in his pocket.
"You? You! Murong Hong was annoyed and his eyes widened.
"I said, this devilish beauty, you stare at me like this, but you will make your eyes out. When the time comes, you will not be a devil, but a turtle. The man smiled slyly.
"Humph!" Murong Hong muttered angrily, "Okay, just feed the turtle with these two thousand yuan, let's go!" ”
"Wait!" The man spoke again.
"What else do you want?" Murong Hong was annoyed, "I also gave you the money, are you still not satisfied?" ”
"Tell you the truth, my violin is worth 20,000 yuan." The man said.
"What? Twenty thousand? Murong Hong and Huang Pinwen were stunned.
A violin is worth 20,000 yuan?
"Yes." The man nodded, "This is a handmade piano produced in Italy, and only twenty pianos are produced in the world a year, and each one is sold for 30,000 yuan." I have also used this piano for a certain number of years, and I can calculate depreciation, to say the least, it is worth 20,000 Huaxia coins. I'm sorry, you still have 18,000 yuan, give me the money! ”
He stretched out his hand, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"You're robbing money!" Murong Hong couldn't help it and shouted, "20,000 yuan for a piano? Where is there such an expensive piano? You're clearly blackmailing, blackmail! “
"Stop arguing." At this time, the proprietress came over again, still holding a small list in her hand, "I'll give you this money." ”
"What?" At this moment, Murong Hong and the three of them were stunned.
"Lady, what did you say? You're going to pay for it? Murong Hong's mouth couldn't close.
"Hmm." The proprietress nodded, "This gentleman, the two of them are guests in my shop, and they just helped me get rid of a few bad guys, and I haven't thanked them yet." I'll pay for them. ”
"Boss, you, what are you doing here?" The chef who came out was also stunned, and pulled Jiang Wenli, "That, that's eighteen thousand." ”
"This piano is indeed worth 30,000 yuan." The proprietress took out the list, "This is what I found in the case, this is the Italian price list, it says, this is a handmade violin from the Willis family in Tuscany." ”
"You, do you know Italian?" The man was stunned for a moment.
"Understand." Jiang Wenli smiled, "When I was a child, my family and I lived in Rome and Turin for a while. Later, I followed my parents back to China. ”
"What?" At this moment, everyone else froze.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary noodle shop proprietress has actually lived abroad?
"I've also taken some music lessons and learned a little bit about music." Jiang Wenli said, "I know it's not easy for an artist, this gentleman, you should also be a violinist, right?" As soon as I look at your fingers, I know that you have practiced. For an artist, this piano is more important than his own life. ”
"yes." The man finally smiled peacefully, "So, this boss lady can also play music?" ”
"I know a little bit about it."
"It's wonderful." The man seemed to have found a bosom friend, and became excited, "It's a pity that I don't have another violin at hand, otherwise, I really want to listen to the boss lady play you." ”
"I'm so sorry, I haven't played the violin for a long time, and I don't know how to play it for a long time." Jiang Wenli said, "Your violin, I'll pay for it." The two of them also inadvertently offended you because of a misunderstanding just now, and they have already lost a sum of money, so I'll make up for the rest of the money. ”
"Boss lady, don't pay him!" Murong Hong shouted, "You don't have a reason to lose money to him?" Inexplicably, why pay him money? ”
Jiang Wenli was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.
"Besides, it's eighteen, not eighteen. When those chengguan came over just now, didn't you even have 3,000 yuan? Why, you can even afford 18,000 now? Murong Hong turned his head and looked at Jiang Wenli suspiciously, "Then didn't we stand out for you just now?" You don't give them the money, and you let me fight for you, what do you mean? ”
Jiang Wenli lowered her head. There are some things that she really can't say.
For a woman who has been immersed in music since she was a child and has a natural yearning and incomparable reverence for artists, what could be more intoxicating than music?
Jiang Wenli's family was once very prominent, as a well-known wealthy Asian family in Rome, the Jiang family was also prominent for a while, and even monopolized the import and export of musical instruments between China and Italy.
In this atmosphere, Jiang Wenli has known these instruments well since she was a child, and has learned almost all of them. Thanks to her talent and musical talent, she mastered a wide range of instruments and even won a place in the Junior Violin Competition in Rome.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and because the Jiang family was involved in a case, the family business went bankrupt, and the family fell from then on. What's worse is that the local mafia often troubles Jiang Wenli's father. As a last resort, when she was fourteen years old, her family returned to China.
Since then, the Jiang family has never talked to others about their family's situation abroad, and that year happened to be a turbulent year in China. If anyone is abroad, they will be arrested and examined, and even criticized. Therefore, their family was tight-lipped and only said that they had done the lowest work abroad in the past and couldn't get along, so they came back.
However, even so, my parents were still criticized, and they were labeled as "I would rather work in a capitalist country than be the master of a socialist country". In the end, my father couldn't stand the criticism and committed suicide by jumping off the building, and after a few years, my mother also died of depression. That year, Jiang Wenli was only eighteen years old.
Later, Jiang Wenli simply smashed the violin that had been hiding by her side and threw it into the river.
The moment she threw the violin into the river, her heart was broken. She never touched them since.
Later, she married an ordinary worker and gave birth to a daughter. She, Jiang Wenli, a former princess of a wealthy family and a former artistic prodigy, has become an ordinary woman who makes a living by opening a noodle shop and selling noodles.
However, when she picked up the violin fragment on the ground just now, her heart suddenly shook again.
She hadn't touched any of these instruments for a long time, and she knew that for an artist who played the violin, it was like his lover, even more important than life.
Therefore, she was willing to pay this money without hesitation. She hopes that the young man who plays the violin can buy another good violin and continue his artistic dream.
Of course, Murong Hong didn't know the cause and effect here, in his opinion, the boss lady suddenly proposed her to compensate, either because she had a bad brain, or she deliberately couldn't get off the stage.
"I'll pay you this money!" Murong Hong raised his chin and looked at the man arrogantly.
"You pay me, can you afford it?" The man didn't show weakness either.
"I said, that's eighteen thousand!" Huang Pinwen was also dumbfounded, and pulled Murong Hong's hand, "You, you don't really want to give him money, do you?" ”
"Not for him, of course." Murong Hong said to the man, "I can write you an IOU, I will owe it first, and then I will pay it back to you later!" ”
"What?" The man laughed, "Write an IOU? Please, if you don't pay it back, where will I find you in the future? ”
"I vouch for my credibility that I will never rely on you for this money!" Murong Hong still tilted his head, "Believe it or not, I, Murong Hong, have always been true to what I say!" ”
"Murong Hong?" The man looked Murong Hong up and down, "Okay, I'll trust you once!" Then write an IOU! ”
As soon as he said this, Murong Hong and Huang Pinwen were stunned for a moment.
"I'm not doing this because of you, but because of this boss!" The man turned his head, "I'll be honest with you, I've eaten noodles at this noodle restaurant several times. This proprietress not only does a good job, but also has a good heart. I admire her willingness to pay for you! It's for her sake that I give you a chance! ”
"This." The proprietress Jiang Wenli blushed.
Murong Hong frowned, looked at Jiang Wenli, and then at the man.
It's strange, this man doesn't fall in love with this boss lady, right? No, you look. is only in her early twenties and thirties, but she is an old woman in her forties who is about to run to five, and you are also interested in others? Sister and brother love? No, nephew and aunt love!
Murong Hong is now messing around with everything, but in fact, people don't mean that at all.
"Well, that's what you said." Murong Hong said, "Boss lady, pen and ink are waiting!" ”
"Pen and ink?"
"Just take a pen and paper!"
"Oh." The proprietress then understood, and when she returned to the counter, she really brought a pen and paper, and said, "This girl, if you don't have enough money, don't force it, or I'll come out." ”
"How can you pay for it?" Murong Hong pouted, "I will also tell you the truth: I am so poor that I only have money left, and there is nothing else, and this money is as much as rice!" Isn't it 18,000? Mere trifle! ”
"Huh?" Jiang Wenli said in her heart: This little girl, you are too good at bragging, right?
