Chapter 294: Pondering and Fearing
I stayed at Chen's house for one night and didn't sleep well, probably because I was going back today, so I woke up early.
The uncle also got up, sitting in the living room reading the newspaper, and the aunt pulled her son to dance in the yard, each with a folding fan, and the dancing posture looked a little weird.
When mother and son came back from the dance, I was already sitting at the table eating breakfast.
"Sister, you're up!" Chen Yimu shouted loudly.
It's not good for me to roll my eyes in front of my mother, but I'm secretly grinding my teeth in my heart, hasn't this person seen my sister?
After eating, Chen Bo came and brought two long ones, which looked like painting tubes.
"Uncle, aunt, sister-in-law, fourth brother, sister Xiaoqing." Chen Bo shouted very politely, his eyes rolling around, "What about the eldest brother?" ”
"I'm going to work."
His aunt pointed to his hand, "What are you taking?" ”
Before Chen Bo could speak, Chen Yimu had already taken the things over, and began to mutter, "This seems to be grandpa's baby!" ”
"I don't know, the second grandfather gave it to Sister Xiaoqing." Chen Bo lay down on the sofa as if he had come to his home, and began to instruct the servants to bring him water.
Chen Yimu carefully unfolded the painting, and suddenly gasped, "Isn't grandpa crazy?" ”。
"Stinky boy, what are you talking about!" My aunt slapped her on the face, and then leaned over to look, "Hey, isn't this the one Dad likes very much?" ”
The sister-in-law also came over to take a look, and said with a smile: "Grandpa really loves our Xiaoqing!" ”
I thought the expressions of this family were a little strange, and then Chen Yimu opened another painting, and then smiled ambiguously at me, "This is to return the thing to its original owner." ”
I walked over to meet his ill-intentioned gaze, and I saw that he was holding the painting of Mr. Chen in the competition, which was obviously carefully framed, which showed the intention of collecting.
As for the other one, it is the work of contemporary ink master Chen Xianzhi.
When I was in my grandfather's study, I didn't see it clearly, but when I got closer, I saw two seals stamped below, one of which was the word Chen Fei.
Chen Fei, the word is obvious.
I remember that when I used to run the business, there was a customer who liked his words very much, and I specially searched for his paintings on the Internet at that time, but I didn't expect to see the real thing today.
It is said that any of his paintings cost millions, and one of them sold for hundreds of millions of dollars in Hong Kong.
I was still counting the large string of zeros in my mind, and I saw Chen Yimu stuffing the painting in my arms, "It's yours." ”
I was stupid and quickly pushed the painting back, "This is too expensive for me to accept." ”
Whether the rumors are true or not, I can't accept such a gift.
Chen Yimu pushed the painting back with kindness, "What is precious or not, in your grandfather's heart, you are more valuable than this painting." ”
My aunt nodded on the side, "Take it!" He owes you more than a painting. ”
The sister-in-law also joined in the fun, "This may not be the most expensive of grandpa's works, but it must be the most special, many people have been rejected for high prices, and the collection value is very high!" ”
Opus?
I looked down at the scroll in my arms, and I heard my aunt sigh.
"Your grandfather is a contemporary family, he gave birth to a son and didn't inherit a little talent for painting, he put all his hopes on your mother, and he ran away when he said he would, no wonder he was so angry."
Gollum.
I swallowed my saliva quietly, Chen Fei, Mr. Xianzhi, my grandfather is a contemporary ink painting?
The painting, which was said to be of great significance to my grandfather, was forced to be stuffed into my hand, and as for the other one, it seems that there is no gift that I will not accept.
"When this painting was sent to the election, it was sent to your grandfather after standing out, and he saw the seal of the word 'brocade' in the corner at a glance."
The uncle paused at this point, the expression on his face as if he had fallen into a memory of the past.
"Your grandfather was so angry that he almost disqualified Ah Jin, but your grandmother found out and threw the divorce agreement in front of him......"
Uncle smiled, "Your grandfather has a stinky donkey temper, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, he is afraid of your grandmother." ”
I laughed too," Mr. Chen said as well. ”
At this time, Chen Bo, who had been ignored for a long time, spoke, "It's my sister-in-law." ”
My uncle looked at me with a smile, "How can you call your mother a teacher?" ”
I touched my nose embarrassedly, "I'm used to it." ”
"My poor child." My aunt had tears in her eyes, and she felt that she was going to pounce on me and give me a hug in the next second.
I looked at Chen Yimu for help, and he received a 'signal' to put his arms around my aunt's shoulders, "Why are your eyes so red, don't squint your eyes in the sand!" Let me see. ”
"Go away, hate or hate?"
My aunt slapped her son's hand away in disgust, and turned to pull me, "Come with me, my aunt also has gifts for you and the child." ”
Although we have only been together for two days, I really feel cared for in my uncle's family, who are my relatives.
When I came, I only had a bag, and when I left, I had a big bag and a valuable picture of my grandfather.
I'm a little worried, but fortunately, Uncle Lu changed the car, otherwise I wouldn't be able to put so many things.
Chen Yimu helped me with the consignment, sent me all the way to the security checkpoint, and then came to a Qiong Yao-style farewell, "Sister, I will miss you!" ”
I pushed him away in disgust, "Let's go!" The girl is waiting for you! Happy blind date! ”
Chen Yimu suddenly wilted, and grinded his teeth at me hatefully, "If you have no conscience, you just watched your brother be in dire straits." ”
I couldn't help but smile and tapped him on the shoulder, "Let's go." ”
When I arrived at the departure hall, I called Lu Zhoucheng, in fact, I had already called last night, and I also told him about the boarding time and landing time.
But I just wanted to hear his voice, and the thought of seeing him soon made me feel excited.
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered, and I didn't take it seriously, and his phone came back when I was about to board.
"Got to the airport?"
Lu Zhoucheng's voice was a little low, and a little hoarse, not like usual, my heart tightened, and I hurriedly asked him What's wrong with you?
The silence was in stark contrast to the boarding reminder on the radio, and in the end I only heard him say, "I'll talk about it when you get back." ”
At the time, I was just worried and didn't notice the strangeness in his tone, until the plane landed and received a few messages.
[Sister-in-law, why can't you get through on the phone, where are you? ] 】
[The second brother is in a very wrong state, you will come back immediately in the end. 】
[Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, did you see the message I sent you? Call me back! 】
I was inexplicable to read these messages, and I was just about to call the rest of my life when my phone rang.
When I saw Cheng Siyuan's phone, I picked it up with some surprise, and before I could say anything, I heard him ask, "Where are you now?" ”
"Beicheng!" The plane had already stopped, and I stood up holding the painting, "I just landed, and I'm still on the plane, what are you looking for me?" ”
Cheng Siyuan was silent for a moment before saying, "Wu Yulan has an accident. ”
I was a little surprised, "What's wrong with her?" Lu Zhoucheng didn't tell me! ”
"Car accident." Cheng Siyuan replied succinctly, "Yesterday morning's incident, but I heard that the problem is not big, and there is no danger to life." ”
My heart lifted high and fell, and I couldn't help but be a little worried, something so big, why didn't he say it during the video last night?
But then again, how did Cheng Siyuan know about Wu Yulan's car accident?
"One more thing."
Cheng Siyuan's tone sounded a little hesitant, "Lu Hongyu also had an accident, just this morning, he rolled down the stairs." ”
I 'chuckled' in my heart, the first reaction was how could it be so coincidental that the two of them had an accident together, and the second reaction was could this be his bitter trick?
After these two thoughts went through my mind, I suddenly realized the crux of the problem, my dad had fallen down the stairs and died, and Mr. Chen had been in a car accident.
How could it be such a coincidence?
"Xiaoqing."
His expression was in a trance for a moment, until Cheng Siyuan's voice sounded in his ears, "I don't think this matter is a coincidence, you'd better find a way to check it." ”
But if this incident is not a coincidence, then it is really terrible, who is punishing them in this way?
Thinking of Lu Zhoucheng's sentence 'I'll talk about it when you come back', my heart suddenly became heavy.
Why wait until I get back?
What does he want to tell me?
Yu Sheng's call came in, and I immediately connected, "Sister-in-law, are you out?" ”
When the luggage was delayed for a while, it was already twenty minutes later when I saw the rest of my life.
He ran over to help me carry my luggage, "Second brother is still in the hospital, let me pick you up." ”
I got into the car in silence and waited until the car left the airport to ask, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Yu Sheng glanced at me in the rearview mirror, his face was a little complicated, "Second brother didn't tell you?" ”
I shook my head, and Yu Sheng's face became more complicated, "Yesterday his mother had a car accident, and today his father had an accident, and he suddenly fell from the stairs, and he is still in the hospital." ”
"Why did you fall?" I asked with a frown.
Yu Sheng shook his head, "I don't know, the nanny found out that the person was already in a coma, and I still don't know if I fell from it." ”
That picture came to mind, and the hairs on the back of the horror stood up, what kind of 'coincidence' was this?
"I heard that Su Qi told your second brother that you were behind the scenes, and you teamed up with others to bring down the Lu family, sister-in-law, isn't that true?"
I opened my mouth weakly, but in the end I didn't say a word of justification.
Yu Sheng didn't seem to notice my abnormality, and said to himself, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, I'm on your side, so I won't believe that woman's nonsense, how can you do such a thing?" ”
"I ......"
I opened my mouth and finally made a little sound, "Five years ago, my dad fell down the stairs and died after rescue efforts failed, and half a year later, my mom died in a car accident. ”
"My dad had just had surgery at the time, and Lu Zhoucheng's mother came to the house and said a lot of ugly things, and he fell down the stairs when he chased him out."
"My mom, someone sent a letter to school, she read it and was sent to the hospital with an angina attack, and there was a car accident on the way home."
