Before Song Qingtian and Pan Fengnian went to Luoyang, they specially explained to Song Xifeng to pay attention to Yang Yufei's news.

When they arrived in Luoyang, when Xiao Ding received them, he glanced at Pan Fengnian lightly, ignored him, and just greeted Song Qingtian warmly.

"Sunny day, why didn't Zhao Leiming come with you?"

Zhao Leiming originally wanted to accompany Song Qingtian to Luoyang, first, the sales of spicy noodles were in a period of rapid growth, and second, Zhao Leiming went to Guangzhou for a while, delaying time, and there were many things to be busy.

Song Qingtian explained to Xiao Ding, and Xiao Ding said with a smile: "It's good that Zhao Leiming is here, and the master helped find out something about Zhao Leiming's biological mother." ”

"If that's the case, then Zhao Leiming should also come."

Xiao Ding smiled: "It doesn't matter, you call him and ask him to come tomorrow, isn't Boss Pan here today?" He must have something to do, so we'll settle his matter first. ”

Finally mentioning himself, Pan Fengnian nodded while smiling flatteringly.

Xiao Ding first arranged their accommodation and let them finish their meal before taking them to find Meng Tianxing.

Meng Tianxing sat on the rosewood chair, his waist seemed to be not as straight as before, and his body was much thinner than before.

When he saw Song Qingtian, he wanted to get up and supported the handle of the chair hard, but he didn't seem to have the strength to stand up.

Xiao Ding hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Master, your old man should still sit and talk." ”

Seeing Meng Tianxing's condition, Song Qingtian asked with concern, "Grandpa Meng, are you unwell?" ”

Meng Tianxing looked at Song Qingtian lovingly, "I'm fine, I'm sick." ”

"Then you have to take care of your body and go to the hospital for a check-up if you are not feeling well."

Meng Tianxing sighed, "People are old, they are old, they are useless, and going to the hospital is a waste of money." ”

"Grandpa Meng, you can't say that, your body matters, and the older you get, the more you have to think about your body."

"It's useless, I'm still alive at this age."

The more Song Qingtian listened, the more he felt that there was something abnormal between Meng Tianxing's words, the last time he saw Meng Tianxing, he was in good spirits and had an excellent attitude, but this time he was pessimistic, and his body was much thinner.

Song Qingtian asked Xiao Ding, "Is Grandpa Meng sick?" ”

Xiao Ding glanced at Meng Tianxing, and then said in a low voice, "The master is in the advanced stage of liver cancer, in fact, he has been sick for a long time the last time you came, so he thought about accepting you and Zhao Leiming as apprentices." The doctor said......"

Xiao Ding choked back tears and couldn't speak.

Meng Tianxing said with a smile: "What's so hard to say, I understand my own body, at most I have a month or two to live." ”

"Is this true?"

Song Qingtian suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart, the first time he met Grandpa Meng, he felt that he was a kind and good person, and later spared no effort to help himself.

A living person suddenly said that he was about to die, and the feeling in his heart was really uncomfortable.

Meng Tianxing touched his beard, "People are born, old, sick and die, what's so sad about this?" On a sunny day, you have something to do when you come to Luoyang, so let's talk about it first. ”

Pan Fengnian greeted him, took out a box from his arms, opened it and put it in front of Meng Tianxing.

"Mr. Meng, this piece of Tianhuangshi Xiaoding said that you lost it, and I specially sent it to you."

Meng Tianxing glanced at it and asked Xiao Ding to put it away.

"Boss Pan, I heard Xiao Ding say that you spent 5,500 yuan on this Tian Huangshi, and I can't let you lose in vain, you go and ask Xiao Ding to get you 6,000 yuan."

Pan Fengnian pretended to resign.

Xiao Ding smiled: "Boss Pan, you go out with me, my master has something to say to Qingtian." ”

Pan Fengnian followed Xiao Ding out of the door.

Meng Tianxing asked Song Qingtian to sit beside him, looking at her with a smile on his face, the warmth in his eyes was like a grandfather's doting on his granddaughter.

"Sunny, you've been busy with business lately, haven't you? Xiao Ding came back and told me everything he saw, and praised you for being very capable. ”

"Business is fine, it's fine."

"Xiao Ding said that you have done a new project, opened a cool skin shop, and made new food spicy strips, and it didn't take long for you to develop so fast."

When it comes to doing business, Song Qingtian is not worth mentioning at all in front of Meng Tianxing, Meng Tianxing has been doing business all his life, and Song Qingtian is embarrassed to be praised by him.

She smiled and bit her lip, changing the subject, "Grandpa Meng, the Tian Huangshi that Pan Fengnian gave you just now was a gift from my father to my cousin, I heard that it was stolen by my father, can you tell me the details of this matter?" ”

That's why she's here.

Meng Tianxing's cloudy eyes looked out the window, his thoughts were churning in his mind, although more than ten years had passed, he remembered this matter clearly.

That year was the first year that Song Dongfeng followed Meng Tianxing, and at that time, Xiao Ding had already followed Meng Tianxing to do things.

That year, Meng Tianxing's business had just begun to boom after suffering setbacks in the past.

During this period of business improvement, Song Dongfeng helped Meng Tianxing a lot, and Meng Tianxing valued him very much.

One day, Meng Tianxing took a fancy to a piece of Tianhuangshi from a seller.

Meng Tianxing, who has been in the antique jade industry all his life, seems to have a grudge against that piece of Tianhuangshi, and after looking at it, he likes that piece of Tianhuangshi very much, as if he is addicted to Tianhuangshi, and he is like getting it.

He took out all his savings and borrowed another amount of money to buy Tianhuangshi from the seller.

If Meng Tianxing, who has obtained the treasure, plays with it every day, he often lets Song Dongfeng and Xiaoding come to watch.

However, three months later, this piece of Tianhuangshi disappeared.

Xiao Ding is an orphan, he has followed Meng Tianxing since he was a child, like father and son, Meng Tianxing thinks that it is definitely not Xiao Ding who did it.

Meng Tianxing also suspected Song Dongfeng at first, but Song Dongfeng said that he did not have a family, no wife and children, and rarely mentioned family matters.

Meng Tianxing also once thought that Song Dongfeng, like Xiao Ding, was a homeless person, and it seemed that it was useless for him to steal Tian Huangshi.

The people around him were eliminated, and the police assisted in the investigation, but Tian Huangshi was always like a stone sinking into the sea, and he never found it back.

Afterwards, Meng Tianxing was very distressed and remembered it for several years.

Song Qingtian seems to have found his father, Song Dongfeng, who is unwilling to admit that he has a family and has a daughter, probably because he is worried that Meng Tianxing will go to his house to investigate Tian Huangshi's whereabouts.

Once he lies, he has to keep the lie alive.

Therefore, Meng Tianxing and Xiaoding did not know Song Dongfeng's family situation.

This is the only possibility to explain Song Dongfeng's concealment of family marriage.

thought that his father was not the kind of thief who stole, but the fact was that Song Qingtian had to accept it.

Such an outcome must be accepted if it is not accepted.

Song Qingtian felt a slight pain in his heart, "Grandpa Meng, I apologize to you on behalf of my father." ”

Meng Tianxing waved his hand: "It's been so many years, and Dongfeng is gone, isn't it back to its original owner?" I have lived to this age, and I have understood that life in the world is just a passing moment. Dongfeng stole it and didn't sell it, but gave it to your cousin as a gift, which can be regarded as playing a certain role. ”

Song Qingtian suddenly felt that something was wrong there.

Tian Huangshi was a crucial treasure for Meng Tianxing, and it was very valuable, but after Song Dongfeng stole it, he gave it to Yang Yufei so casually, and didn't tell them the value.

Song Dongfeng's approach is contrary to common sense, which is a bit unreasonable, right?

But Song Dongfeng is dead, and there is no way to know what he thinks.

Meng Tianxing patted Song Qingtian on the shoulder.

"Girl, don't think about the past, you come this time, I have something important to explain to you."

"Something important?"

Meng Tianxing's voice became very serious, "That's right, I know that you came back to Luoyang, and I planned it in advance." The last time you came, I said that my jade shop was going to be passed on to your father Song Dongfeng, but unfortunately he is no longer there, Xiao Ding went to Nanyang and understood your situation thoroughly, and your father also had the heart to let you fulfill his wishes and take over this jade shop. After careful consideration, I have decided that you are very suitable for managing the Vermilion Bird Jade Shop. ”

"Grandpa Meng, how can this work?"

Song Qingtian was a little surprised, the reputation of the Vermilion Bird Jade Shop, Grandpa Meng's reputation, and the antique jade shops in the province have a certain influence, Meng Tianxing is actually willing to hand over the store to her, how much trust does this need?

"Qingtian, you have such strength, the Vermilion Bird Jade Shop will definitely carry forward in your hands."

Song Qingtian shook his head: "My father is sorry for you, even if you forgive him, but Xiao Ding has been with you for one or two decades, and his ability in this industry is hundreds of times stronger than mine, you can leave it to Xiao Ding to take care of." ”

Meng Tianxing touched his beard and said with a smile: "Sunny day, Xiao Ding's professional ability in the industry is much more than yours, he is very experienced in dealing with people and identifying jade antiques, but he has no talent for business development, I have already seen it." Otherwise, I didn't plan to let your dad manage the store, your dad has a good talent for business development, and you must have inherited your dad's excellent genes. ”

"But ......"

"If you have any questions, just say it?"

"Grandpa Meng, let me take the liberty of asking, don't you have any other relatives?"

Since ancient times, there have been traditional customs, and the business of the fathers has been passed on to their children, and if there are no children, they will be passed on to the brothers who are close to them.

Song Qingtian mentioned this question, and Meng Tianxing's expression was gloomy.

"Qingtian, you really thought it through, but I don't have any relatives anymore. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese devils burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, our village once lived in the People's Liberation Army, and the Japanese devils arrested all the people in our village in order to catch the People's Liberation Army, and asked them one by one, and finally all of them were killed, and I jumped into the Luohe River to survive. I'm the only one in the world. ”

Song Qingtian seemed to understand something, "That's why Grandpa Meng donates money every year to help build the Luohe embankment, is it to repay the kindness of Luohe for letting you survive?" ”

"That's right, the Luohe River saved my life, and I hope to better let the Luohe River play its role and bring benefits to the people on both sides of the river. So, sunny day, you have to promise me one condition. ”

"On what terms?"

"In the future, 20 percent of the annual income of the Vermilion Bird Jade Shop will be used for the treatment of the Luohe River. Can you promise me? ”

Song Qingtian hesitated a little, if he agreed, he agreed to take over the Vermilion Bird Jade Shop.

She felt that this matter came too quickly, and she was not mentally prepared at all.

"Qingtian, this is also an important purpose for me to come to you, you must promise me."

After a moment's hesitation, the door was pushed open, it was Xiao Ding, he walked in slowly, and looked straight at Song Qingtian with his eyes.
