"As for the painting you mentioned, maybe my father painted it for her out of gratitude, right? After all, at that time, she and Aunt Yuan took good care of us. Chen Jianye's face showed a somewhat relieved expression, but when it came to his father, he seemed to have some concerns, and after a while continued: "I want to go back to that old mansion, more out of nostalgia for the past life. Maybe the older you get, the more you miss those things when you were a child, right? I didn't expect this to happen again. Let's not mention this, let's talk about the big price, right? Although he is not a perfect person, he has been honest in the past few years, why did he encounter such a thing inexplicably? …… It can't really be related to those rumors outside, it's because of those messy legends, treasures or something, right? ”

"Everything is under investigation, and I'm afraid we can't draw a conclusion right now, but it's clear that his death has something to do with the rumors of that treasure." I'm going to be slow and methodical.

"There are really a lot of people who believe such deceptive nonsense." Chen Jianye said indignantly, he obviously didn't believe those rumors, "But then again, Dagui is that kind of person, he has always liked to engage in those mysterious things, and he has never cared what the consequences may be." ”

Chen Jianye didn't talk much about this matter, he was more concerned about the cause of Dagui's death and who else might be the murderer. In his opinion, he obviously didn't think that Dagui would cause any big trouble. Because although Dagui is greedy for money, he is a timid person who never takes the initiative to cause trouble.

"At least the big guy I knew back then. Definitely not to cause yourself any trouble. He said solemnly, and only sighed after a while: "But what will become of him in many years, it's really hard to say." He used to be a person with very strong self-esteem, and he never accepted gifts from our family, but this time, he ...... When he came to me, he specifically asked me for a sum of money, saying that he had a big secret and wanted to sell it to me......"

This sentence aroused my great interest. But Chen Jianye didn't care too much about Dagui's statement at the time, and he didn't have a check with him at the time, so he rejected Dagui's suggestion and gave Dagui all the money he carried. Very implicitly asked him to talk again next time.

"I knew this was going to happen. It would have been nice for me to have taken the time to see him sooner, or what would have happened later might have been avoided altogether. He sighed helplessly.

With Chen Jianye's arrangement, it will be much more convenient for me to meet the people of the Chen family again. When I saw the taciturn Chen Jianye's sister. She was reluctant though. At the request of Chen Jianye. Especially after knowing the news of Aunt Feng's death, he and she still told a lot of family secrets.

"There's a Western proverb that says, 'There's a skeleton in every closet.'" We're such a big family. Naturally, there are many secrets that are not known to outsiders. She said expressionlessly, and at the same time looked at Chen Jianye who was sitting on the side, and said slowly, "You have become the head of the Chen family, so naturally you should listen to what has happened in our family for so many years." Miss Fang, I think there is one thing you should be very clear about, that is, except for Jianye, most of our family is only responsible for a part of the Chen family's industry, and it is basically an insignificant but profitable enterprise. In fact, this was also my mother's arrangement. She once said that none of us have business acumen, but I think these are excuses, and the real reason is that she still wants most of us to live a normal life. Because once you take on the responsibilities of the family, it means that there are many personal interests that need to be sacrificed. Jianye made his own sacrifices and is still alone so far. In fact, my mother also paid a heavy price for our entire family, including her own marriage. ”

"Are you talking about Jiang Mei?" Chen Jianye glanced at his eldest sister with some anxiety, and at the same time looked at me again, and said slowly: "This ...... Doesn't seem like there's much to say, right? They all already know it......"

"Are the rumors out there credible?" A strange expression appeared on her face, and she shook her head and said, "Since Aunt Feng has passed away, there is nothing to hide. Since you know Jiang Mei's story, you should know that the purpose of her coming back back was to renew her relationship with her father, and at that time, everyone could see that her father's attitude towards her was too different, and the relationship between the two was obviously abnormal. In addition, they spend most of their time hiding in the studio, and their mother is busy with the work at hand all day......"

"Well...... We've heard some of these rumors. "I don't know what to be polite about, especially when I hear them expose their old wounds.

"I told you, you're only hearing part of it. Isn't this also a will left by my mother? After she died, everything was made public, in order to 'avoid possible tragedy'. She'd probably already expected it to be like this at that time, right? She said lightly, her expression completely lost in thought.

At that time, she was already a teenager, and although her world was still very simple, she already had a vague sense that something was not quite right. Just before the big storm in the house, my father decided to decorate the fireplace, and he offered to do it himself, so that no one should look at it.

The painter has always done what he wants, after all, he is the real head of the Chen family, and naturally everything is also due to his temperament. The work lasted for two and a half months, but when the work was being made, there was a conflict between the painter and Jiang Mei, and the two people who were supposed to love each other always seemed to have some unpleasantness. Even more often, Jiang Mei always urged the painter to stay in the laboratory.

"I've heard that you've been in contact with my mother, so you should know her very well that she has always disliked people who disobey her, including the rest of our lives, and we must do whatever she decides. In fact, she did the same to my father, most of the time in a negotiative tone, but what she wanted had to be achieved. What's even worse is that Jiang Mei is actually far more willful than my mother, whatever she wants, no matter what means she uses, she has to achieve her own goals. I think...... At that time, my father was very afraid of her, and at least I could see that the relationship between the two of them was not as perfect as we imagined. She said in a flat tone. (To be continued.) )
