2 Mystic Altar
"The rain is coming, I made your favorite steamed sea bass by hand, wait a while to taste Aunt Mei's cooking skills, has there been any progress?" A crisp voice interrupted the conversation between the two.
Liu Mei is as kind and kind as ever, with a slightly plump posture and well-maintained white and tender skin, although she is wearing an apron, she still can't hide the noble lady's temperament on her body.
After waiting for a few minutes, Mama Lin had already set up the tableware, and the three of them came to the restaurant to eat.
The eight dishes on the table, as always, are hearty, and they are all dishes that Lan Tianyu loves to eat. During the meal, no one mentioned anything unhappy, and at the suggestion of Qin Botao, he opened a bottle of red wine, and Lan Tianyu accompanied him to taste it slowly as before.
The dishes have not changed, the taste has not changed, and the people seated have not changed, but the happiness and satisfaction of the past have disappeared, leaving only a touch of bitterness that cannot be erased.
After eating, the three of them came to the living room again, and in the fragrance of tea, the three of them were speechless for a while.
Liu Mei and Qin Botao glanced at each other, and seeing the embarrassment in Qin Botao's eyes, Liu Mei had no choice but to speak: "Tianyu, your Uncle Qin and Aunt Mei have watched you grow up since childhood, and they have always regarded you as our son." From when you were still in your infancy to the handsome guy you are now, the emotions we pour into you are not much worse than Yinyin, I think this, you should know this. ”
"Uncle Qin and Aunt Mei's love for me is as deep as my parents, and I naturally understand this." Lan Tianyu stood up and said solemnly.
"Sit down, it doesn't have to be so formal. You can understand Aunt Mei's hard work, and Aunt Mei will be content. There are some things that may make you sad to say them, but this matter has been delayed for a long time, and your Uncle Qin has been under pressure alone, and now it really can't be dragged on, so I brought you here and talked to you openly and honestly, I hope you can understand" Liu Mei's face showed a look of embarrassment.
"If you have something to say, I know that Uncle Qin and Aunt Mei must have their own difficulties, I think I will understand." Lan Tianyu has long been mentally prepared.
Qin Botao was worried that Liu Mei's words would be too straightforward and hurt Lan Tianyu, so he preemptively spoke: "As early as when your father just passed away, the leaders of the city secretly gave me instructions, asking me to sever my relationship with your family. Later, I tactfully inquired and found that the people behind the scenes were from a higher level, which was not at all within our reach. Despite my efforts, I must not help you in any way within a year, otherwise my Botao Real Estate will also go bankrupt within a year. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Lan Tianyu's eyes, and he said: "If Botao Real Estate wants to develop, it cannot do without the support of the government, and I can fully understand Uncle Qin's decision." It's just that I didn't expect that there would be a big man who wanted to deal with our Lan family, which is a little puzzling. ”
"Tianyu, it's good that you can understand your Uncle Qin's difficulties, according to his temper, he should have helped you, but there is persecution from the top, and Lao Qin really has no choice. In just over half a month, the bidding for two pieces of land that is stable has been taken first, and bank loans have also begun to collect debts. If your Uncle Qin doesn't give the other party a positive answer, the Botao Real Estate he worked so hard to create will really go out of business! Willow eyebrows were full of sadness.
Lan Tianyu stood up, bowed deeply to Qin Botao, and said, "It's our Lan family who has burdened Uncle Qin and let you suffer from this pond fish." Now that I know Uncle Qin's difficulties, you just want to help me, and I don't dare to accept it. ”
Qin Botao showed a look of guilt on his face, and said: "I don't know why the people behind the scenes want to suppress your Lan family, after Brother Lan died, he didn't let go, I still can't guess what the other party's purpose is?" You must be careful when doing things in the future. I don't dare to give you help on the surface, and if you can help in secret, you can just look for me. ”
"If there is a need, I will definitely speak, Uncle Qin's kindness, I have made a note of it." Blue Sky Rain did not refuse.
"Tianyu, did Yinyin tell you what I thought" A down-and-out willow eyebrow unexpectedly showed a rare look of surprise, and continued: "I don't know what you think about this matter?" As parents, they all hope that their children can be happy for a lifetime, I don't expect you to forgive Aunt Mei's selfishness, I just hope that you can understand my suffering as a mother a little. ”
Lan Tianyu could no longer hide the pain in his eyes, stood up, and said: "Aunt Mei's mood, of course I can understand and I also hope that Yinyin can be happy for a lifetime, if I can't do this, I will take the initiative to let go"
"It's just that Yinyin looks weak on the outside, but she is extremely tough inside, even if I want to break up with her, I have to take my time, I can't be in a hurry, otherwise with Yinyin's temperament, the reaction will be very intense." The sound of blue sky and rain became heavier and heavier.
Seeing that Liu Mei seemed to want to stop talking, Lan Tianyu took the initiative to promise: "Give me a year, if I can save Gu Yun, presumably Aunt Mei will not object to Yinyin continuing to associate with me." If I am penniless, I will take the initiative to find a way to cut off contact with Yinyin. ”
Liu Mei showed a satisfied look in his eyes, and said: "Thank you for being able to understand Aunt Mei, when the people behind the scenes are no longer paying attention to you, your Uncle Qin and Aunt Mei are still your backing, even if you have difficulties, come to us." ”
"Thank you Aunt Mei for your concern, if I don't have anything to eat one day, I will definitely come to the house to eat." The corners of Lan Tianyu's mouth barely squeezed out a smile.
"When the time comes, Aunt Mei will definitely cook it herself and make your favorite steamed sea bass." Although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Mei's heart was full of sourness, and he didn't know whether he was right or wrong to do this.
At the behest of Qin Botao and his wife and Lin's mother, Lan Tianyu walked out of the Qin villa.
"I'm afraid this is the last time Tianyu came to eat at home, and I'm really ashamed to think about it." Qin Botao whispered.
"Tianyu, this kid is really good, I really don't want to say this to him, but for the sake of Yinyin's happiness in the future, I can only be this wicked person, if possible, I really hope that Tianyu can still eat the dishes I made with my own hands" Liu Mei looked at Lan Tianyu's back, and his heart seemed to be blocked.
Back to his villa, the time was less than half past one, the blue sky and rain were lying on the sofa dejectedly, the polite smile just now was gone, only the tiredness and empty eyes on the face.
After a little rest, Lan Tianyu was not qualified to be sad about the spring and autumn, and he didn't have time to feel nostalgic, so he left the sofa with a strong spirit.
I hurriedly washed my face, and was just about to go to the hospital to visit my mother when my mobile phone rang.
It turned out that the engineer of the security company had finally returned from a business trip and would rush over to unlock the lock.
When Lan Minghui was renovating the villa, he converted the basement into a treasure room, in which a large safe was placed. After he passed away, because he didn't know the password of the safe, and Lan Tianyu didn't want to break it strongly, the safe was never opened.
The engineer of the security company who is about to arrive, it is said that he is very powerful, as long as there is enough time, any kind of safe can be opened, it is because of the promise of the other party, Lan Tianyu has been waiting for his arrival, and did not choose to break it strongly.
For more than half an hour, the engineer of the security company came to the villa with an assistant.
The other party really didn't brag, and it only took three hours for the safe to be opened. Lan Tianyu re-learned from the other party how to set a password and how to use it, and then sent the two away.
In order to raise funds, the more valuable antique paintings and calligraphy in Lan Minghui's hands have been transferred, and the rest are some ordinary antique artworks of low value, Lan Tianyu did not expect any treasures to remain in the safe, his biggest expectation is that there are some clues left in it.
There are only four items in the safe, one is a rusty bronze sword, an ancient painting, an appraisal certificate, and a quaint model of an altar.
The most valuable of these four items may be the ancient painting, Liu Bo carefully opened the scroll to appreciate it. What disappointed him was that although this landscape painting had a lofty artistic conception, it did not have any seal inscriptions, and with his level of appreciation, he could not appreciate who the author of this painting was.
picked up the appraisal certificate and read it once, but it made Lan Tianyu have some interest.
The crystal color photo on the appraisal book looks a little mysterious, this crystal has the size of a thumb belly, forty-eight facets, colorless and transparent, hardness exceeds diamond, but the molecular structure is completely different from diamond, and the identification conclusion is an unknown mysterious crystal.
Although I didn't see the real thing, just looking at the photos, I knew that this crystal must be worth a lot.
Lan Tianyu had been taking over Gu Yun's work for a month, and he never seemed to have seen any information about this mysterious crystal.
"Maybe this certificate of identification will be a new clue." Lan Tianyu's face showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Put down the appraisal and pick up the bronze sword.
The bronze sword is about two feet long, and the surface of the blade seems to have a delicate diamond-shaped dark checkered pattern looming, but unfortunately the surface is blurred because the rust on the surface is too heavy. Lan Tianyu's index finger brushed lightly from the blade of the sword, and it seemed that a slight chill crossed the fingertips, and a wisp of blood suddenly scattered down.
"What a sharp blade! It seems that this bronze sword should not be ordinary! Lan Tianyu exclaimed in his heart, and then regretted it incomparably, "Even if this is a famous sword, it is so badly corroded, it must not have much value." ”
Regretfully put down the bronze sword, took a piece of paper casually, wiped the blood from his fingertips, and then held the altar model with both hands to appreciate it carefully.
The altar is small and exquisite, the shape is simple and mysterious, I can't see what material is cast, holding it in the hand, slightly pressing the hand, it should be slightly heavier than bronze. Although Lan Tianyu didn't have much research on the altar, he could also feel the unusual nature of the altar in his hand. He always felt that the model in his hand seemed to exude some kind of extremely mysterious atmosphere, which made him feel like a saint facing the Holy Father, but unfortunately Lan Tianyu had no pious faith, and he was amused by the illusion in his heart.
"How nice it would be if this model of the altar was really a holy thing! I am willing to use this ancient painting as a sacrifice in exchange for any treasure. The blue sky and rain ghost made a god and muttered to himself.
His words landed, and the altar model suddenly emitted a misty blue light, and the blood on his fingertips flowed quickly.
