159 Difficult to change the true color (No. 29 update message to the top)
The morning sun is slightly dewed, and the late autumn is completely cold. The cold wind swept up the withered yellow branches and leaves all over the ground, swirling like layers of whirlpools.
Mu Liang sent his son to kindergarten as usual, and then drove to the company. She came up with her bag, and when the assistant saw her appear, he ran over quickly and said, "Chairman, Mr. Sheng is waiting for you inside." β
Coming so early?
Mu Liang's red lips pursed lightly, motioning for the assistant to make tea, she pushed open the office door and entered, "Morning." β
"Early." Sheng Mingzhan stood up with a smile and came over with a thermos lunch box, "I haven't eaten breakfast yet, this is what I asked you to prepare, eat it while it's hot." β
Mu Liang put down the bag and sat beside him instead, "I've eaten it." β
The man was visibly stunned, and the corners of his mouth stiffened. It's not that Mu Liang is lying, but she really eats, and when she gets up in the morning, Fu Jinchen shows up on time with a hot breakfast.
"Have you had breakfast?" Mu Liang was a little embarrassed and asked unnaturally.
Sheng Mingzhan lowered his eyes, buttoned the open insulated lunch box, and said with a smile: "I have also eaten, and I ate with my mother." β
With his eyes fixed on his toes, Mu Liang felt that the atmosphere was silent. This inexplicable depression made her panic, and for the first time, she felt that she had nothing to say.
"Liangliang!"
Sheng Mingzhan pursed his thin lips lightly, and his voice was very deep, "Guoguo's matter, I was wrong!" I shouldn't take advantage of Mu Yi, and I shouldn't make it difficult for my child! β
After a pause, he gently took Mu Liang's hand and said, "I'm sorry, can you forgive me?" β
Forgive? Mu Liang felt suffocated again, she withdrew her hand and looked at him with a calm gaze. In the past five years, the bits and pieces of getting along have come to mind, and there are many tastes that converge on the tip of my heart and cannot be explained.
"Ming Zhan."
Mu Liang raised his head, his dark eyes fixed on his cheeks, "I've been very tired lately, let's calm down for a while!" β
"How long?" Sheng Mingzhan asked.
Mu Liang's eyes darkened, and he said, "Don't force me." β
Her fingers were slender and good-looking, Sheng Mingzhan's sharp eyes swept to her empty fingertips, and the ring he put on his own hand was gone.
His eyes sank.
"Okay." Sheng Mingzhan sighed, "I won't force you." β
"But ......"
Sheng Ming Zhanjun's face raised slightly, and his tone instantly tightened, "You have to believe it, I never thought of hurting Guoguo, or you and your family." β
Mu Liang believed this sentence. She witnessed Sheng Mingzhan's love for Guoguo, and she also believed that he didn't mean to hurt the child, but the method he chose, she absolutely couldn't accept it!
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Mu Liang put his hands on his chest, and his dark eyes looked at the quiet harbor in the distance, feeling sullen. She leaned her head against the glass window, her gaze gradually dimming.
Sheng Mingzhan, this man who has appeared in her life for five years, now makes her feel strange!
To the north of the city center, the area adjacent to the commercial street is quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle. This street has a strong commercial atmosphere, and every faΓ§ade is full of art.
Fu Huanyan put the bicycle outside, there was no lock, just leaning against the corner at will. She opened the door to the studio with her bag on her back, and on the long table was still the painting she hadn't finished the night with.
Putting the backpack on the side casually, Fu Huanyan didn't bother to wash his hands, and immediately walked to the drawing board to start writing. On the way here, she faced the plane tree stained by the autumn wind, and suddenly found inspiration and was ecstatic.
Entering the state again, Fu Huanyan stood in front of the drawing board for two hours. She hadn't taken a sip of water, she hadn't sat down, she could forget to sleep or eat for the sake of painting, and she couldn't be disturbed by anything.
The studio is divided into two floors, the upper floor is decorated as a rest area, and sometimes Fu Huanyan lives here. The exterior walls are whitewashed, and the pointed roof of the studio has patterns hand-painted by Fu Huanyan himself. However, she prefers abstraction, so not many people can understand what she draws!
Walking along this path, a figure walked by, a woman with short hair, staring up at the studio, her expression gradually gentle. Soon, she raised her DSLR camera and took a few photos of the exterior wall of the studio. Every year she comes, there is a new change in this wall.
"Buckle-"
Fu Huanyan frowned, but after seeing the person standing outside the door, he was surprised: "Aunt Lian, why are you here?" β
Lian Yi pursed her lips and smiled, and asked her, "Don't bother you, right?" β
"Don't bother, don't bother." Fu Huanyan immediately threw away the pen in his hand, ran over with a smile and invited people into the studio.
"Sit."
Fu Huanyan picked up the picture scroll on the sofa and went to pour water again, but the pot was empty and there was nothing.
"Don't be busy." Lian Yi put down the camera in his hand.
"I'm sorry," Fu Huan's delicate cheeks were slightly red, and he said, "I don't have anything here." β
Lian Yi stretched out his hand to pull her to his side, and said softly, "You're welcome, I don't drink." β
The visitor was a guest, Fu Huanyan still didn't feel good, she picked up a can of drink on the coffee table and put it in front of Lian Yi, "You drink this, I just bought it yesterday." β
"Thank you." Lian Yi reached out and took it, holding it tightly in his hand.
Fu Huanyan's eyes moved, and after calculating the days, he felt that Aunt Lian would almost come over. It's just that there have been a lot of things at home recently, and she has been distracted, and the painting has not been completed as scheduled.
"I'm still drawing," Fu Huanyan pointed to the opposite drawing board and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely finish the painting on schedule." β
Lian Yi stood up and walked to the drawing board, his eyes narrowing slightly. Fu Huanyan painted a scene of late autumn, with an illusory background, tall plane trees, and golden fallen leaves all over the ground, with a faint sadness.
"How?" Fu Huanyan asked a little nervously.
"If it's compared to last year's, I like this one better."
Hearing her affirmation, Fu Huanyan immediately raised a smile. She feels the same way herself, feeling that this painting has surpassed last year's one.
Secretly relieved, Fu Huanyan finally felt at ease. This aunt comes to buy paintings every year, and has already bought ten of her paintings. Although the price is not high, someone can understand her works and appreciate them, which is far more valuable than anything else for Fu Huanyan!
Money has always been indifferent to her. She was born in a family like the Fu family since she was a child, there is nothing, she is not rare in money, nor is it rare in jewelry, she just loves to paint!
"Probably next week," Fu Huanyan calculated the time and said, "I can give you this painting next week." β
"There's no hurry." Lian Yi responded, "I'll come back this time, maybe I'll stay longer." β
"Really?" Fu Huan raised his eyebrows suspiciously, "Do you have something?" β
Lian Yi nodded, "There are some things that need to be clarified." β
Fu Huanyan pursed his lips and did not continue to ask deeply. She happily showed another oil painting to Lian Yi, and the two of them looked at it and talked about it, each expressing their own opinions.
The climate in the mountains is changeable, with low temperatures in the morning and sunny days by noon. You Chuxiu came out of the sun room, and the orchid that was thrown to the ground by Fu Jinchen last time was finally rescued by her.
"Ma'am, lunch is ready."
The maid came over to ask for instructions, and You Chuxiu pursed her lips and walked to the restaurant. The dishes on the table were sumptuous, but when she saw the people in front of the table, she instantly lost her appetite.
"Ouch, there are fewer and fewer people in this house." Yao Qin was holding the chopsticks in his hand, and he didn't even wait for You Chuxiu to come over, and he had already started.
Cao Wanxin hugged Fu Cheng, her expression was still faint. She didn't answer, her palm lightly fell on the top of Fu Cheng's head, and said softly: "Orange, what do you want to eat?" β
Fu Cheng stretched out his finger and pointed, and Cao Wanxin stretched out her chopsticks and put them in the bowl for her daughter.
You Chuxiu lowered his face and glared at Yao Qin, his expression angry. Since the last incident, not only did Fu Jinchen leave home, but now even Fu Dongting has a lot of complaints about himself.
The position she has worked so hard to build in the past few decades has all been implicated because of this incident!
You Chuxiu put down her chopsticks and instructed the servant with a cold face, "Prepare a separate lunch for lunch, I want to go out." β
"Yes, ma'am."
Yao Qin looked at You Chuxiu's turned figure and couldn't help but snort coldly.
After changing his clothes, You Chuxiu took the insulated lunch box in the servant's hand, asked the driver to drive the car out, and went straight to Fu Huanyan's studio after leaving the villa.
Now that my son doesn't come home, and my daughter often doesn't show up, these days are really getting more and more depressing.
The driver parked the car outside the studio, You Chuxiu walked down with a thermos lunch box, and suddenly saw the figure that had just left in front of him, "Stop!" β
Although it is only a side face, You Chuxiu is sure that he will not admit it.
Lian Yi turned around.
Sure enough, it's her?!
You Chuxiu instantly narrowed her eyes, she glanced at the studio opposite, and pulled Lian Yi away with a calm face.
Not long ago, in a teahouse not far from the studio. You Chuxiu's face was gloomy, and he made a preemptive strike, "Why do you want to come back?" β
"Because of the joy." Lian Yi replied in the affirmative.
"Huanyan?" You Chuxiu sneered, "Fu Huanyan is my daughter. β
"Mrs. Fu."
Lian Yi raised his head, and his watery pupils were unusually calm, "You have been a mother of Huanyan for more than 30 years, it's time to give her back to me." β
"Give it back to you?" You Chuxiu's dark eyes were filled with cold light, and his tone was sharp, "We said at the beginning, this child will always grow up in the Fu family, and he will always be my You Chuxiu's daughter!" β
"I was forced to do so at the beginning," Lian Yi frowned, "Now that Huan Yan has grown up, and her marriage has been delayed because of the relationship between the Fu family, can you bear to watch her waste all her best time?!" β
"Of course not!" You Chuxiu's expression was very cold, "Huan Yan is not suitable for Xiang Bei." β
Lian Yi chuckled, "But Huan Yan likes him." β
Hearing her words, You Chuxiu frowned again. This matter has been noisy for many years, but it has never been sorted out. Fu Huanyan just refused to listen to her, and she had been so consumed with Xiang Bei!
"Mrs. Fu!"
Lian Yi held the teacup with both hands, and his voice lowered, "I came back this time and wanted to take Huan Yan away." β
"It can't be!"
You Chuxiu stood up slowly, her smug cheeks distorted with anger, "Lian Yi, I repeat, Fu Huanyan is my daughter!" β
"I'm her real mother." Lian Yi also didn't give in.
You Chuxiu held her breath in her heart, and her eyes became cold, "But you, your biological mother, will make her feel humiliated!" If Huan Yan knows that she is an illegitimate daughter, what will you do if you let her?! β
Humiliate?!
These two words stabbed Lian Yi's heart hard. She tilted her head, her eyes moving for a moment. Because of the events of that year, she endured the pain of the separation of mother and daughter, and the drifting of more than 30 years is not enough for her punishment of herself? !
The door of the studio was gently pushed open, Fu Huanyan sat in the painting chair, and shouted without looking back: "Mom, why are you here?" β
"How do you know it's me?" You Chuxiu walked over with a smile.
Fu Huanyan shrugged with a paintbrush, "Only you don't knock on the door." β
"This kid." You Chuxiu put down the things in her hand, bent down and put away the painting papers she scattered all over the ground one by one, folded them and placed them neatly on the painting table.
The movements in Fu Huanyan's hands slowly stopped, she turned her head, looked at her mother who rolled up her sleeves to help her clean up, and couldn't help but sigh.
Putting the paintbrush away, Fu Huanyan got up and walked to her side, gently held her hand, and said, "What's wrong?" Did Dad give you a look in the face again? β
You Chuxiu sighed and lowered his head suddenly.
Recently, the atmosphere at home has been cold, and Fu Huanyan doesn't go home much. She raised her hand to hold You Chuxiu's cheek and coaxed her with a smile, "Okay, I don't like to see you frown!" My dad has that temper, and when I come home in a few days, I coax him and make sure he doesn't get angry with you again. β
Fu Huanyan pursed his lips and said: "And Fu Laosi too, he always has to make trouble for a while, when I find him, I will definitely bring him home for you!" β
You Chuxiu pursed her lips, and her eyes suddenly became sour.
"Mom!"
Fu Huanyan suddenly opened her arms around her waist and put her face on her heart, "It's been so cold in our house lately, I don't even want to go home." It's good when I was a child, you took me and Fu Laosi to live in Yufeng City, and the three of us were so happy. β
Raising his hand and covering his mouth gently, You Chuxiu didn't dare to show it too obviously. She took a deep breath and pushed the tears back into her eyes.
The palm of his hand gently fell on the top of Fu Huanyan's head, and the taste in You Chuxiu's heart was complicated. Although she had a lot of mischief for this child for a long time, she had long regarded Fu Huanyan as her own daughter in the past 30 years of mother-daughter love. If she is asked to give up now, she will never be able to!
Song Qinghua finally nodded and agreed. This proposal was first put forward by Mu Liang, and she was fully responsible for its implementation.
The design blueprint of the museum was finalized and implemented. However, Song Qinghua only put forward one request, the project should be completed within half a year, and the final completion date should be determined.
The day it was finally completed happened to be the fiftieth anniversary of Song Rufeng and Meiqiong's marriage. Although they are no longer alive, in Song Qinghua's heart, her parents have not left.
Mu Liang did not object to this request. She also found it memorable.
In addition to the construction company for the main building, many other corner projects need to be undertaken by some small companies.
Lin Qiang preliminarily selected a few, and today specially arranged for Mu Liang to confirm it again. It's just that among the companies that came to bid, there was Fu Jinchen's current company, which made Mu Liang feel surprised.
Lin Qiang is impermeable, but she had breakfast with this man this morning, but he couldn't see through the water.
After reading the reported information, Mu Liang felt that there were two companies that were the best. One of them is Fu Jinchen's company.
"Mr. Fu."
Mu Liang closed the plan and said in a deep voice: "I still have to think about it, and I'll give you an answer next week." β
Fu Jinchen was wearing a well-fitting black suit, and sat in the chair opposite with a calm expression, "Yes." β
Gee!
Mu Liang was secretly annoyed, listening to his tone, how could it not be like he was chosen, but full of style.
"Alright, that's all for today." Mu Liang lowered his eyes, got up and walked out.
Everyone went out one after another, and the assistant gathered the materials and left the conference room first. Gao Sen carried the briefcase and left with a very eye-catching look, not leaving behind as a light bulb.
Fu Jinchen's thin lips hooked, and a smile flashed in his eyes, "Chairman Mu." β
The voice he opened his mouth was magnetic, Mu Liang raised his head, stared at him and asked, "Something?" β
Fu Jinchen leaned sideways in front of the table, with a gentle expression on his handsome face, "Actually, you don't need to think about it, the gap is so huge." β
Throwing away the pen in his hand, Mu Liang's red lips pursed lightly, and he said in a deep voice: "There are many things we have to investigate, including whether your company's qualifications are complete and whether you have the ability to undertake!" A great plan doesn't make a difference! β
Hearing her words, the smile on the corner of Fu Jinchen's mouth had a deep meaning. The current Mu Liang is really different from before, and his gestures are full of momentum. He nodded approvingly, "It's right to be cautious." β
Mu Liang glanced at his mouth, thinking that he wanted to say this!
But before she came back to her senses, the man in front of her was propped up on the table with one hand, and the face of the upside-down beings was already in front of her, "But my bottom, you know everything!" The in-depth understanding between us, both complete and thorough! β
"......" Mu Liang stared at him in a daze, looking at his dark eyes, and his heart was beating. His words suddenly made her think of something, and her white cheeks rubbed hot until they were hot.
"Fu Jinchenβ"
Mu Liang took a breath and roared angrily. This bastard!
In her angry voice, Fu Jinchen put his hands in his pockets, and left with an easy pace, the smile on the corner of his mouth was determined to win.
Mu Liang, no matter how many turns you take, you will always be mine!
After getting off work in the evening, Mu Liang came to the parking lot to pick up the car. She had just unlocked the car and a man in a black casual suit and sunglasses stood in front of her car.
"Chairman Mu."
The man's voice was very low, and Mu Liang was suddenly wary, "I don't know you." β
The man smiled, took a step forward, and said, "You don't need to know me, but I know you." β
Bad comers? The corners of Mu Liang's eyes were light, and after closing the car door, he stood straight to the left, "Who are you?" β
"A nobody."
The man followed her and took half a step to the left, "Chairman Mu, I have something in my hand, maybe you will be interested." β
Mu Liang's bright dark eyes flashed, and when he saw the camera he was carrying, he frowned and said, "Are you a reporter?" β
"Good eye." The man did not deny it.
Stuff?
Mu Liang's current position will always attract the attention of countless people. Lin Qiang told her this earlier, if someone deliberately came to make trouble, or pretended to break the news, they would not respond.
"What's that?" Mu Liang asked in a deep voice.
The man pursed his lips, pointed to the envelope in his hand, and said, "Five hundred thousand, you must be interested in these things." β
Half a million?
Mu Liang shook his head, it was really a lion's mouth. She asked herself that she didn't have any handle to be pinched, and most of these people were just talking, if there was anything important, I am afraid it would have been hyped up a long time ago!
"I'm not interested."
Mu Liang lowered his face coldly, and his delicate jaw nodded forward, "See?" There's a camera in the back, and your conversations with me are filmed, so if you don't want to get yourself in trouble, it's best not to show up again. β
The man suddenly looked up, and sure enough, he saw a camera in front of him. The corners of his mouth twitched, and his face with sunglasses suddenly lowered.
"Hehe......"
The man lowered his head, chuckled, did not continue to entangle, and quickly disappeared.
I had encountered such a thing once before, and Mu Liang was experienced. She pursed her lips and sat in the car, feeling uneasy somewhere in her heart.
In the middle of the ring, Mu Liang calmed down before driving away.
