Chapter 6: Gu Yinglian
Since returning from Wudang, Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang get up early and go to bed late every day, each taking an hour to diligently work on the Sun Heart Sutra.
Every weekend in the gym sparring exercises, in order to conceal the increasingly refined divine skills, the two brothers do not use the Sun Heart Sutra. Only use the ordinary practice rules, one move and one style of sparring.
A flower in full bloom is not spring, a hundred flowers are in full bloom and the garden is full of spring.
After repeated comparison and selection in the industry, Ou Yiran contacted a well-known auction company in the coastal area.
After discussing some details online, the auction company sent the invitation letter and the text of the contract by e-mail.
After two days, Ou Yiran informed the online buyers of the result, and also told Yaliang.
The online buyer seems to be anxious to get the wrong coin, offering that if you cancel the auction, he will consider doubling the price.
But the more he was in such a hurry, the more determined Ou Yiran became to go to auction.
As for what Yaliang thinks, he doesn't say it himself, so he doesn't know.
The auction company wanted him to take some time to come over and settle the matter.
Ou Yiran originally wanted to go over, but Yun Lei didn't know what to think about it, so she suggested that he wait and talk, so she dragged it off.
On this day, Ou Yiran received a message from an online buyer again, asking to meet and talk, and he felt that this was not impossible, so he left his contact information for the other party.
But there was no time to meet.
Almost at the same time, in an office on the 23rd floor of the headquarters of a multinational company on the bank of the Pujiang River, two foreign men and women were talking in secret.
On the surface, they are the general manager and secretary of this multinational company, but in fact they are doing some shady things.
Joseph, who was sitting in the executive chair, got up and took out a bottle of RΓ©my Martin and two goblets from the wine cabinet, and poured about a third of the more than a third into the glasses.
He handed a cup to the secretary on the sofa, Ke Fei'er, it was a young girl with blond hair and blue eyes, a delicate face, a tall figure, and a bee waist and hips, under her gorgeous beauty, I don't know how many men's hearts have been poured out.
Just a month ago, while browsing on Weibo, Joseph stumbled upon Ou Yiran's wrong coin, and with his shrewd mind and keen sense of business affairs, he immediately realized the value of it.
Those messages are his masterpiece. After several price increases and no positive response from the other party, I knew that something had changed.
Now, when he figured out that the other party was male and where he was located, he knew how to proceed with it.
Joseph spoke stiff Chinese and said with a smile on his face, "MSTK, in order to be able to get this exciting wrong coin smoothly, cheers." β
Ke Fei'er stood up, her lake-blue eyes revealed an irresistible charm, her face overflowed with a sweet smile, she clinked glasses with her boss and said with a smile: "YS, this trip will definitely live up to its mission." β
"I appreciate your confidence and look forward to celebrating you."
At this moment, on the bank of the Pearl River, Qian Kun, a famous collector in Huacheng, was pacing in the office with a thick cigar in his mouth. I'm also thinking about how to get that wrong coin in one fell swoop.
His sensitivity and sense of smell were not inferior to Joseph's, and he was the Tibetan friend mentioned by Yaliang and a fellow countryman of Yaliang.
His background is more complicated, and the reasons for the wrong coin are similar to Joseph's. If the acquisition of Yaliang failed, it was known that it had encountered a strong competitor.
Although he didn't know the identity of the online buyer, he relied on his own judgment and shrewdness to guess that the other party must have smelled the huge value contained in the wrong coin, so he did not hesitate to sell it frequently.
To this end, he specially formulated two sets of strategies, one is to set off to Fengcheng by himself and contact Ou Yiran face-to-face through Ya Liang, and the other is to quietly and actively raise funds to prepare to seize it at the auction in one fell swoop.
However, he knows that once the auction is made, the variables increase dramatically.
To this end, he was prepared to salute before he was encouraged, and he tried to win the rare misprinted coin before it was auctioned.
The two major interest groups, for the sake of a wrong coin, quietly prepared several large nets for Ou Yiran with different plans and the same purpose, and they all wanted to get it quickly.
At this time, Ou Yiran had also booked a contract with the auction company and could not be delayed, so he booked two air tickets according to the agreed date.
Xia Zininghua looked pale, her hair was messy, and she stood in front of the bathroom mirror in disheveled, her thin shoulders shrugged and sobbed.
She held the countertop with one hand, and wiped the wound on her forehead with a cotton ball dipped in purple potion against the light with the other.
Wordless tears poured out of the bags of the eyes like a waterfall, flowing through the cheeks to the tip of the slightly upturned chin, and then dripping onto the basin.
At her feet, the Chihuahua, which had only been adopted by her for three months, whimpered quietly, as if she was crying out for her master, and as if she was comforting the lone owner.
The house was in a mess, as if it had just been ransacked by bandits.
In the living room, the LCD TV hanging on the wall was smashed into an irregular hole, like a grinning mouth, looking at everything in a mess like a mockery.
The vase on the cabinet was broken on the ground, reflecting the cold light under the light, and the craft flower arrangement inside was not spared.
Although the cabinet air conditioner in the corner of the wall has not been significantly damaged, it is also a crooked and awkward pestle there.
If you look closely, the edges of the arc are slightly collapsed, and there are still fine human dandruff remaining on it. Just over ten minutes ago, Xia Zining's forehead was bumped there.
The parts of the remote control are everywhere, the modular fabric sofa is not in the east and west groups, the cushions on it are almost all on the ground, and the peeled watermelons that have never been eaten are scattered on the mats and have been stepped on a few times, like a few broken hearts.
Only the heavy marble-faced coffee table was still standing in place.
Although the stainless steel thermos cup resting on it was tilted to the side, and several magazines soaked in water were also touched to the edge of the table by external forces, the fruit bowl had already flown to the balcony, and a few bright Fuji apples were also tired, and they were silently huddled in the corner at the moment.
When Xia Zining staggered out of the bathroom, when she saw the watermelon that was trampled on the beige sofa cushion, she couldn't help but feel a heartache, and her body shook suddenly.
Indeed, that piece of watermelon is like a broken heart. She stabilized her mind, moved her legs with great effort, and slowly came to the sofa and sat down, panting for a gossamer breath, her eyes staring at the rotten watermelon without blinking.
The Chihuahua lay at her feet at the moment, looking pitifully at the mess in the house, looking up at the lifeless face of its master, and whimpering from time to time.
Xia Zining was stunned and supported her cheeks with her hands, letting her tears run through her knees, and looked at the broken heart for a long time......
The well-behaved Chihuahua obviously understood the pain of its master, and although it was late at night, it refused to go into its own nest.
β¦β¦
When the tears were dry, a ray of dawn entered through the window and hit the hole in the LCD TV.
When Xia Zining's eyes turned there, she suddenly trembled as if she had been shocked, and wanted to stand up, but her legs were weak and she didn't feel any strength.
Only then did I realize that sitting for a long time had numbed the nerves in my legs. She straightened up, sighed mournfully, slowly stretched her legs, and tapped the base of her thighs with her sore hands.
She felt the soreness in her right arm gradually lessen, and she tried to reach for the apple under her feet.
The slightly stiff fingers pinched it, picked it up, didn't wipe it, and brought it to the side of the mouth and bit it hard, and in the crunchy sound, the cool juice instantly filled the mouth.
Her eyes were fixed on the hole in the TV, and she chewed on the apple in her mouth, as if she was venting and revenge.
She imagined the apple as the husband who had fought with her last night, eating his flesh and drinking his blood.
To be sure, the thing slammed the door and went back to the cheap roadside shop.
He couldn't afford to pay for the high grades, and even in such a cheap shop, he could only order boiled peanut skewers and spoil his stomach with beer.
This day is over after all. And this marriage has been a joke from beginning to end.
After eating an apple, her thinking has finally been clarified, and divorce has become an inevitable topic.
She hurriedly washed up, tidied up her clothes, and called Liu Yutong to ask her to help ask for a few days off for the company. Subsequently, with a face full of loneliness, he went to seek legal assistance.
After finishing this important thing, she let out a long breath, as if she had unloaded a thousand pounds of burden, and her whole body was relaxed. Then I came back again, stuffed my clothes in a large suitcase, took a taxi outside the community, and went back to my parents' house.
After raising it at home for two days, she adjusted her mentality, and on Saturday morning, Xia Zining came to the library to study the courses of the University of Electric Power according to her previous habits. Perhaps it was a matter of habit, and she often chose to sit in a fixed position at the window on the third floor.
Outside the window, there is a chic small park, pavilions, curved bridges, full of interest. After studying for a long time, it is inevitable that you will have a headache and eyes.
At this time, you can enjoy the fragrant tea and enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window.
With the same thoughts as her, it is her former colleague Ou Yiran, an authentic museum worm.
The so-called museum worm is his own name, because he is a frequent visitor here, and he must come to study most of the week, and he has nothing to do on the weekends.
They have been here for half a year, and they have come to the library for the same purpose, like-minded interests, and the opportunity to interact came unexpectedly.
After getting along for a long time, it gradually became speculative, and the conversation inevitably involved families and individuals.
Today, Ou Yiran saw that Xia Zining had hidden worries in her words, so he asked her if she was not working well.
Xia Zining thought that someone would take the idea for herself, which would be beneficial to solve the problem, so she told him the cause of the matter.
If it had been a few months ago, not to mention such a secret question, it would have been something ordinary, and she would not have said it.
Now, after listening to her intently, Ou Yiran has realized the seriousness of the matter.
He pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "To say something I don't like to hear, from the beginning when you talked about your marital status, I had a rough expectation of you. β
"Oh?" Xia Zining's breath stagnated.
"Saying things straight and maybe hurting your self-esteem?"
Xia Zining lowered her head and thought for a while, and when she raised her head, her eyes were already full of determination: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." β
Ou Yiran waited for this sentence, so he said: "First of all, you lack a solid foundation for marriage. He looked at her steadily.
Xia Zining's expression changed, and she nodded to continue.
"Secondly, you actually prepared for it a long time ago."
"Oh?" Xia Zi stared at him intently. And he was looking at her seriously. Xia Zining's expression changed a few times, and she asked, "How can you see it?" β
"Quite simply, you've left yourself a way back."
Xia Zining's face flashed with a trace of imperceptible anger, but it flashed: "What back road did I leave for myself?" β
"You have never had children because, in addition to not having your own house, the fundamental point is that you have never been optimistic about your marriage in your heart."
"It's ridiculous, why am I not optimistic about my marriage, how can I marry him if I am not optimistic."
"That's the illusion you once had, the shadow of your mother's failed marriage, and the clever boost of your stepfather."
"Nonsense..."Xia Zining's breathing was short, and her chest was rising and falling.
Ou Yiran smiled: "Since it's nonsense, why are you angry?" β
Xia Ziningxing's eyes widened: "Am I angry?" β
Ou Yiran shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and smiled: "If you don't like to listen, then I won't say it." β
Xia Zining took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and said, "I'm sorry." β
"Without a house of their own, it is like a pair of rabbits without a nest, always under the attack of wind and rain. Once you had illusions about Qin Wei and longed for the big city, but it was precisely such a little vanity that made you lightly promise for life. β
Xia Zining's breath was uneven, and her face was uncertain, but she couldn't bear it.
Later, the harsh reality makes you realize that your idea is too naΓ―ve, but it is too late to regret it. And you can only lament the injustice of fate, but you are powerless to struggle. In all kinds of helplessness, it has been maintained until now. β
Xia Zining, who was ashamed and angry, had to admire Ou Yiran's ability to see the fire. In just a few words, he clearly analyzed what he had been thinking and thinking in the past few years.
He was like a clear mirror, and he was like a naked body without clothes, and the pores of his body were delicate.
Thinking of this, she suddenly trembled, subconsciously hugged her hands to her chest, and looked at him helplessly.
Seeing her like that, Ou Yiran tried to relieve her emotions and quipped: "Don't be so nervous, in broad daylight, there are so many people in the museum, can I eat you?" β
Xia Zining looked around, she felt embarrassed, and reluctantly smiled: "I can't see the fierceness of your person, and your eyes are a little poisonous." This is tantamount to agreeing with his statement.
Ou Yiran looked at her fixedly for a long time, and suddenly understood that Xia Zining was by no means pretentious. She does have a side of resignation and resignation, if she knows, what to do, according to what today's real women do, she has already broken up with Qin Wei, how can she maintain it to this day?
"Oh," Ou Yiran remembered that Xia Zining had said about her mother's condition and understood her difficulties, "a lesson from the past, a teacher from the future." It turns out that your heart is as weak as your appearance, but I have time to see the tenacity of your heart! β
Xia Zining smiled bitterly and said, "I am a person who believes in fate, since fate has arranged this step, I can only obey, and I can't get it if I ask for it." My ease with what happens, and the strength I show at times, is precisely the reason I understand. β
"Well," Ou Yiran nodded, "but the reality is that now fate has once again put you on the cusp." When you encounter this kind of person, you can't hide if you want to, you can only fight hard. β
"People say that there are thousands of roads, but under my feet, there is only this rugged mountain road!" Xia Zining said wistfully.
Just two days before Ou Yiran was about to leave for the peninsula, Xia Zining encountered the second biggest crisis in her life.
Her good sister Liu Yutong somehow annoyed the company's boss, and was suddenly fired.
That's not all, the boss was angry, and he was even more angry with Xia Zining, who had been asking for leave at home, and even fired her.
Xia Zining's mood dropped to freezing point in an instant.
Her mother couldn't bear to see her daughter's heartbroken look when she saw her daughter being hit one after another, so she discussed with Xia Zining's grandfather to take her back to her hometown to relax.
When Xia Zining told Ou Yiran the news, the latter thought of one thing, saying that it is not excluded that your mother wants you to reunite a family in your hometown.
Xia Zining said that the possibility was too small.
Ou Yiran asked why he said that, Xia Zining said that his hometown is not a rural village in the south, but it is very old-fashioned, and a divorced woman like her is not interested in any man.
Ou Yiran asked how long it would take, and Xia Zining said that she might have to wait until she ate the osmanthus cake before coming back, which would take about half a year.
Ou Yiran inevitably sighed, and the night before Xia Zining left, he and Liu Yutong set up a banquet for her and sent blessings.
The next morning, Xia Zining boarded the southbound train.
The weather that day was strange, first raining, and soon condensing into snowflakes, boiling and fluttering, and the peach and plum competing for beauty.
On the snowflakes on the platform, Xia Zining in a purple windbreaker was particularly eye-catching, and after hugging Liu Yutong, Xia Zining and Ou Yiran shook hands and said goodbye, looking at each other, and the wordless blessings were all in one hand.
Xia Zining turned around and walked two steps, turned around suddenly, and had a quick hug with Ou Yiran, and said in his ear like a musk deer: "This farewell is thousands of miles away, is it still possible to meet?" β
Ou Yiran hugged her back and said softly: "Although thousands of miles away, the friendship is not reduced, the sky is open, I wish you your wish." β
There is a saying: the bleak rain and cold snowflakes are scattered, and the cherry blossoms are colorful and parting.
A day later, not long after Ou Yiran and Yun Lei's passenger plane took off, Kefeier's flight also landed at Binhe International Airport.
She booked the hotel online, got out of the terminal, and got into the hotel's special car.
Not far behind her, a mysterious man wearing sunglasses also got into a taxi.
Fifty minutes later, Coffiel checked into the Grand Kempinski Hotel.
And the middle-aged man in sunglasses lived opposite the door of Koffiel.
It is less than two kilometers away from Ou Yiran's home.
As a professional manager who can't see the sun, Ke Feier can be said to be familiar with it, she easily got his detailed address through Ou Yiran's mobile phone number, and the reason why she didn't contact him in advance was her own logic.
She doesn't fight unprepared battles, she wants to wait for the system to grasp Ou Yiran's preferences, interests and details of family members, and then contact Ou Yiran.
But she ignored a key problem, that is, she didn't expect Ou Yiran to act quickly and actually pass by her at the airport, causing her perfect plan to be aborted.
As for Qian Kun, in order to get the wrong coin, he formulated two sets of strategies for Ou Yiran, both soft and hard.
For this reason, he had already found two ruthless entourage, but he only contacted Ou Yiran through Yaliang on the afternoon of the day Ou Yiran arrived on the peninsula and had already signed the commission contract.
When Qian Kun learned the news, he regretted scolding his mother in his heart, and almost smashed the half-smoked cigar on the shrimp scene picture of the old man Baishi who had worked so hard to get it.
Originally, he wanted to meet Ou Yiran earlier, but three days ago, an important person asked him to palm his collection, but it was delayed.
The so-called people are not as good as the sky, there is a fixed number in the underworld, no matter how deep the scheming of all living beings is, how can they calculate, they can't escape a fateful word.
Due to weather factors, Ou Yiran's plane stopped at Zhongyuan Airport for too long, and when it landed on Liuting Airport, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
It was half an hour later than the scheduled eighteen thirty-five o'clock, and it was already twilight and brightly lit.
When Ou Yiran and Yun Lei enjoyed the night view at the Seaview Hotel.
There was an uninvited guest at the door of Fengcheng's house, she was Ke Fei'er who was pretending to be a courier, in order to hide her blonde hair and blue eyes, she put on a black wig and pasted black pupils.
When she rang the doorbell with a package, Ou Zhou, who was alone at home, saw from the cat's eye that it was a courier dressed up, and opened the door without thinking too much.
"Is this Zhang Quan's home?" Ke Feier asked in standard Chinese.
Ou Zhou saw that she was a beautiful female courier, and she was stunned in her heart, and said in her heart, how could she still deliver packages at such a late hour, and she was still a beautiful sister. Thinking only for a moment, he hurriedly replied: "You are wrong, our family name is Ou." β
"Oh, sorry to interrupt me." Ke Fei'er said humbly, and at the same time filmed Ou Zhou's face through the pinhole camera hidden in the neckline.
When she went downstairs, she took off her overalls and walked out of the community without stepping on a three-wheeled motorcycle like a regular courier, but took a taxi back to the Kempinski Hotel.
Kefier thought she didn't know what was going on, but all her actions fell into the eyes of the mysterious man in sunglasses.
In the seaview hotel, Ou Yiran watched TV for a while, went to the bathroom to brush his teeth, changed his pajamas, took a few cold medicines, and then lay down on the bed.
Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.
Maybe it's because he drinks too much, in the middle of the night, he goes to the bathroom to relieve his hands, and when he lies down again, he can't fall asleep.
The wind was whining outside the window, and the whistle came in from time to time on the sea.
He got up and opened the curtains, and the lights on the pier brightened the room.
Seeing a brightly lit passenger ship sailing on the sea, he turned around and took out the binoculars he had brought to take a closer look.
At this moment, the sea was foggy, and the bridge was no longer visible under the telescope.
Yun Lei didn't know what kind of happy dream she had, giggling for a while, shouting for a while. When Ou Yiran wanted to record her with her mobile phone, she turned over and didn't say anything.
Ou Yiran went back to bed and fell asleep, and he didn't know how long it took before he was confused.
The eastern sky was bright early, and when Yun Lei, who was used to getting up according to her usual habits, turned on the camera and found that it was almost eight o'clock, she woke up Ou Yiran.
After washing, Yun Lei entered Meituan through her mobile phone to inquire and found that there was a local famous snack not far away, so she happily went out to taste it with Ou Yiran.
Although the morning bay was not as strong as last night's wind, it was still shiveringly cold, and the air was humid as if it had rained.
Yun Lei drove the navigation, and along the way, she only asked one person and found the store.
The store is not large, but it is almost full, and the walls are covered with various honorary certificates.
Finally two customers left, Ou Yiran and Yun Lei hurriedly sat down. I ordered two bowls of special beef diced tofu brain, one large and one small, and asked for four bracken-stuffed buns.
Far outside the gate of Fengcheng's community, Ke Fei'er, who was wearing makeup, was no different from a middle school student, all she lacked was a school uniform, and she stayed there ten minutes in advance, waiting for Ou Zhou to appear.
Sure enough, Ou Zhou was stuck, rushed out of the community in a hurry, and ran towards the school across the road.
Ke Fei'er had remembered Ou Zhou's face deeply in his mind last night, so he followed closely.
It didn't take ten minutes for her to figure out Ou Zhou's school and class. And through further inquiry, I figured out the school hours at noon and in the afternoon.
Same as last night, the mysterious man with sunglasses watched her actions from a short distance.
Until Coffrey got into a taxi, he got into another cab as well. Two taxis departed one after the other.
On this side of the bay, after a big bowl of tofu was in his stomach, Ou Yiran was already sweating, which was very rare for him. He wiped his mouth with a tissue and went outside to cool off.
Yun Lei worked hard to digest the rest of the buns alone.
I hope readers like it, move your rich golden finger, ask for collections, ask for recommendations, thank you.
