Chapter 163: Returning to the surname Baili
After Li Xinning knew that she had guessed correctly, she curiously continued to guess what the woman who looked like Lin Lin was going to be, she and Lu Li actually thought of the relationship between mother and son for the first time.
"Did Mr. Lin tell you about his parents?"
Lu Li nodded, "I haven't said much, his parents were gone when he was very young, so the person in the photo may simply look like him, let alone this." ”
"Then read the letter." Li Xinning pointed to the letter in Lu Li's hand.
Lu Li opened the letter, it has been rare to see a handwritten letter in recent years, it is still a beautiful hand, and Lu Li praised the beautiful writing before he saw the specific content.
Li Xinning snorted, and didn't have much strength to respond.
Lu Li began to read the content of the letter, and as soon as he read the line, he raised his eyes to look at Li Xinning, and Li Xinning replied to her with a wry smile.
"What he wrote to you? When did you receive it? Lu Li asked her.
"I just received it this afternoon, maybe it was written in it, I don't know, you can read it first." Li Xinning lowered her head as she spoke, in a lazy posture.
Lu Li continued to read the letter, but he didn't expect Song Yan to write such a letter to Li Xinning.
After reading it in a few minutes, Lu Li didn't expect that the content of the letter would mention the incident before this year, she didn't expect Song Yichen to tell Li Xinning about that incident.
"Scared after reading it, right?" Li Xinning asked Lu Li.
Lu Li was wondering if she should tell Li Xinning about this that she had actually learned about this from Zuo Na one step earlier.
In the end, she couldn't help but say nothing.
Lu Li waited for the waiter to walk away before saying to Li Xinning: "It's quite unexpected, why did he tell you this at this time?" The letter doesn't show his purpose, don't you think? ”
Li Xinning shook her head blankly, "I just can't think of it, so I showed it to you, you can help me think about it, I won't be able to see him face to face for a while, this is depressed." ”
"I haven't figured it out either," Lu Li glanced at the dishes on the table, "There are too many things we can't see clearly." ”
"Yes! It's all one bad thing after another, what are we doing, ...... you say" Li Xinning raised her voice in agreement and complained.
The meal was quite tasteless, and the two of them didn't talk much, but they didn't want to separate after eating, so they found a café to sit down and continue.
Lu Li said that he was going to sell the house, and also said that Lin Lin wanted to buy it, and Li Xinning immediately said that Lu Li's reflex arc was too long, and he was slow to react.
"What's wrong?"
Li Xinning rolled her eyes at Lu Li, "Don't say that you really don't understand, Mr. Lin, isn't this just a curve to save the country, he didn't really want to break up with you at all, don't you understand?" ”
Lu Li really couldn't say that she didn't understand against her will, she actually thought of this, but she was soon pressed down by her own amorous thoughts.
Li Xinning's eyes darkened, "Didn't you tell me that day, in fact, do you regret breaking up, then pick it up again, after all, the two of you are different from me, don't torture each other." ”
Lu Li's eyes were not bright, how could there be as simple as Li Xinning thought between her and Lin Lian, the problem between the two of them was really complicated.
"Then are you going to sell the house to Mr. Lin?" Li Xinning took a sip of coffee and asked Lu Li.
"I don't know, I think about it again, I haven't thought about it."
After a while, the topic turned to the letter that Song Yan wrote to Li Xinning, and Li Xinning told Lu Li that she cried for a long time when she read the letter.
She pointed to her bag, "When you looked at it just now, didn't you notice any traces on the letterhead, that is, my tears fell on it." ”
Lu Li looked at his friend sympathetically.
Li Xinning sighed, "I still can't believe it, I believe that they will go through such a terrible thing...... You say, are the two of them bad guys? ”
Lu Li knew that her friend was asking her if Song Yichen and Zuo Na a few years ago were bad people, and whether the two teenagers who buried their bodies in the rainstorm night and hugged each other and cried bitterly were bad people.
"They did something wrong, but they can't just be defined by bad guys, and if they hadn't chosen to do that at the time, I don't know what it would be like today." Lu Li told Li Xinning his opinion.
Li Xinning was silent for a while before saying: "I read his letter today and realized that the story written by Zuo Na is actually the ulterior experience of the two of them, and they both say that the story comes from life, and it seems to be true." ”
Lu Li saw that Li Xinning's eyes were red, and tears slipped down her cheeks silently, she took out a tissue and handed it over, and her eyes were wet.
Both of them were distracted, for what happened to those two people, and for their own.
The next day, Lu Li didn't go to the museum, she needed to go back to school to deal with some graduation matters, and Li Xinning also joined her, and she was busy at school all day before leaving.
Lu Li picked up the mobile phone and looked at it, there were several messages on WeChat that she didn't reply, she replied one by one, originally thought that Lin Lin came back to ask her about selling the house, but he didn't move.
Li Xinning happened to ask about this while driving the car, and Lu Li said that there was no movement over there, and Li Xinning laughed for some reason.
"What are you laughing at, nerves." Lu Li turned his head to look at her.
Li Xinning said: "Teacher Lin must be waiting for you to take the initiative to mention this matter, the more you don't ask, the more it shows that what I analyzed with you yesterday is right." ”
Lu Li didn't say anything, his finger hung on Lin Li's WeChat avatar, and it took a long time to put the lock screen of his mobile phone aside.
She didn't want to take the initiative.
——
Lu Li didn't know, just when she was sitting in Li Xinning's car thinking about this, Lin Lin on the way home from work was also thinking about this, he also clicked on Lu Li's WeChat avatar and looked at it for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of contacting.
Even though I want to get in touch with it in particular, I forget it.
Lin Lin didn't want to go home to cook, so he packed food in the restaurant at the entrance of the community, and when he took the elevator to the door of the house, he raised his eyes and saw a person standing at the door of his house.
It's not someone he knows, it's a woman who is not young.
Among the people he knew familiarly, there were few who knew his exact address.
Lin Lin quickly thought of something, the lady who had recently called him should be the one in front of him, Lin Lin thought about walking towards the door.
The lady had already seen the footsteps and looked straight at Lin Lone.
Lin Lin stopped two steps away from the lady, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "Hello, this is my door, are you waiting for me?" ”
"You're Lin Lone."
Lin Lin heard the beautiful female voice on the phone, and he could basically determine that it was the one.
"Yes, I'm Lin Lone."
After acknowledging his identity, Lin Lin suddenly thought of Qi Ju for some reason, and he hadn't mentioned it to the lady in front of him on the phone.
Lin Lin looked at the lady in front of him who was also looking at him, and asked directly, "How did you know that I live here?" ”
"From Mr. Lu, your mobile phone number and specific address were all told to me when he was still alive." The woman answered the question with a light smile.
Lin Lin guessed that this was the case.
The lady looked at Lin Lone: "If it's convenient, can I go to your house and sit down, I just flew back from abroad today, just to tell you about that matter in person." ”
Uninvited people are blocked at the door of the house, and it is convenient to be inconvenient.
Lin Lin walked to the door and took the key to open the door, "Please come in." ”
——
Lu Li and Xu Wei went to work in the restoration room together, and Xu Wei told her that the film crew would officially start filming in another week, and there were still many details to be finalized before filming began, and the next week would be very busy.
"The body can keep up, don't hold on if you can't." Xu Wei was still worried about Lu Li's state, and looked at Lu Li, who seemed to have lost weight again, and asked.
"I can, I'm sure I'll tell you, I won't drag down the film crew, don't worry."
Xu Wei snorted, "That's right, it's better to be busy than nothing, then I'll put some burden on you and do it well." ”
Lu Li smiled at Xu Wei, "Come on!" ”
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard where the restoration room was located, Lu Li saw Lin Li, who was walking outside and walked face to face with Lu Li.
Xu Wei asked Lin Lin where he was going, Lin Lin glanced at Lu Li, and replied that he would go out and pick someone in.
"Who? Coming to visit and study? Xu Wei inquired curiously.
Lin Lin continued to walk out, "No, it's a donor, you'll know later, I'll go first, wait over there!" ”
He came out of the gate of the hospital, Hou Boping followed and walked out of the restoration room, he should have heard what Xu Wei and they just said, Hou Boping said to Xu Wei as soon as he came out, "Director Xu, this time you have good materials, you have to take a good shot, it's so rare!" ”
Xu Wei was even more curious now, and hurriedly walked to Hou Boping's side to understand, and Lu Li also followed.
"Do you still remember the "Immortal Battle Map"?" Hou Boping's eyes were shining, and the excitement that could not be concealed was all on his face.
Xu Wei nodded, "Then why don't you remember, you can say it quickly, what's wrong." ”
Hou Boping rubbed his hands, "Someone wants to donate the original copy of the "Immortal Battle Map" to our hospital, I will participate in the appraisal later, if it is true, oops......"
Lu Li and Xu Wei both looked at each other in shock, they really didn't expect this to be the case.
This news can be regarded as the only good news that has happened around me recently.
After Hou Boping was called away, the film crew was excited because of the sudden news, everyone was waiting for the accurate news to come, and they were discussing this matter with the people in the restoration room when they were working.
Xu Wei couldn't help but go directly to the place where the museum was holding a meeting to wait for news, and before leaving, he told Lu Li that if he had a quasi-letter, he would immediately notify Lu Li on WeChat, so that Lu Li would glance at his muted mobile phone from time to time.
After waiting for more than an hour, Xu Wei sent a photo to Lu Li from WeChat, and Lu Li clicked on it to see that the photo was taken of Lin Li, the director of the museum, and a well-dressed lady walking out of the conference room.
She was just about to take a closer look at the lady, when Xu Wei's WeChat message followed, telling Lu Li that the lady in the photo was the donor who had just returned from abroad.
Lu Li replied to WeChat first and asked Xu Wei when he would be able to determine whether the donated "Immortal Battle Map" was genuine.
"It's going to take some time, but I think it's 90 percent true, I didn't expect it!" Xu Wei quickly replied.
Lu Li clicked on the photo and wanted to continue to see the lady who made the donation.
But this time, as soon as I wanted to see it, Xu Wei's WeChat came over again, "Lu Li, you hurry up and bring Xiao Cui over, we have to follow the identification process, hurry up!" ”
Xiao Cui is the photographer with the best shooting skills in the film crew, Lu Li immediately called him after reading WeChat, and the two of them quickly arrived at the place Xu Wei said with the equipment.
Xu Wei beckoned them to follow him into an office in the museum, which was the museum's appraisal room, and there were already several people standing or sitting inside.
Lu Li saw Lin Lin at a glance.
Lin Lin stood beside the well-dressed lady, the two were talking, and Lu Li judged from the shape of their mouths that they were communicating in English.
Hou Boping stood opposite Lin Lin and them, looking intently at the scroll spread out on a large painting case, which should be the donated "Immortal Battle Map", and Lu Li's gaze also fell here.
Xu Wei went to discuss the shooting with the people in the courtyard, Lu Li and his colleagues were waiting on the side, both of them staring at the painting case, Lu Li didn't notice that Lin Lin was looking at her.
The well-dressed lady was also looking at Lu Li.
When Lu Li and the photographer walked to the front of the painting case to prepare for shooting, Lin Lin was still staring at her, and Lu Li would notice it and look over, and the two met their eyes.
Lu Li panicked inexplicably, she quickly looked away, and glanced at the female donor beside Lin Lin as her eyes moved.
Xu Wei walked up behind Lu Li and told her to interview the female donor later.
Five minutes later, the appraisal of "Immortal Battle Map" officially began.
The people involved in the appraisal were all engrossed in their work, and the female donor followed the staff of the hospital to prepare to leave the appraisal room, and Xu Wei called out Lu Li to go out with him.
Interviews are to be conducted in the room next to the laboratory.
"Need to take a picture?" The female donor listened to the hospital explain the content of the interview to her and asked softly.
When Lu Li heard what she said in Chinese, she thought she wouldn't.
Xu Wei replied that it would be best to take pictures, but the female donor shook her head firmly and refused, saying that she did not want to appear in any news or video messages related to "Xian Zhan Tu".
Lu Li listened quietly beside her, she could understand the rejection of the female donor, she just wanted to do something low-key.
She also took advantage of this time to take a closer look at the female donor.
Although it looks very well maintained, the traces of time still leave obvious marks on the female donor, and she is at least the same age as her parents.
"If I can cooperate, I will do my best, and I'm sorry if I can't." The female donor's voice was gentle to Xu Wei, and she showed a very sincere and sorry look on her face when she spoke.
After the communication, Xu Wei began to conduct text interviews with female donors, and Lu Li sat next to him and was responsible for recording.
"Hello Ms. Baili......" Xu Wei began the interview.
Only then did Lu Li know what the name of the female donation was, and it was a rare surname Baili. She quickly remembered that when she talked about "Immortal Battle Map" at Hou Boping's house before, the collector who took back the national treasure with a lot of money during the Republic of China seemed to be surnamed Baili.
Between them...... Lu Li looked up at the female donor, could she have any connection with the collector?
At the end of the interview, both Xu Wei and Lu Li were surprised to hear the female donor take the initiative to mention their private life.
The female donor first asked Xu Wei a personal question, asking him if he had any children.
Xu Wei shook his head, "I'm single and have no children. ”
After hearing this, the female donor looked at Lu Li and asked her if she was married?
Lu Li felt that these two questions were really not like people like female donors would ask, but they just asked.
She replied truthfully, "I'm single too." ”
The female donor smiled indifferently: "I have a child, we were separated many years ago for various reasons, I have never seen the child since I went abroad, this time I returned to the motherland, in addition to sending the national treasure back to the country, I also want to find the child." ”
