Chapter 256: Outwitting and Strengthening
After making this determination, Lin Mu was in a hurry, and he wanted to come to an anti-guest. So he said to Zheng Xuan, who was smiling, Uncle Zheng, do you know that there is a painting called "Eighty-Seven Immortal Scrolls"?
Hearing this name, Zheng Xuan's face really changed greatly, and a cold light quickly flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He still pretended to be casual and said, "Why, young man, do you know a lot about calligraphy and painting?"
Lin Mu ignored him and said directly, I heard that this painting is the only surviving authentic work of Wu Daozi, and no matter where it appears, it will cause a sensation.
But the origin and inheritance of this painting are twists and turns, and the reputations and fates of many celebrities and wealthy people are involved. I heard that after this painting was stolen from Master Xu Beihong, it was stolen from the beams and columns, and the cages were changed for birds, and it was changed to other collectors.
And, moreover......
Zheng Xuan didn't speak, but his eyes blinked inexplicably. This blink may be acquiescence, maybe denial, but more often than not, tiredness.
He looked at Lin Mu quietly, and suddenly said, Since you know so much, I am underestimating you. It seems that Xu Quan still doesn't know the details of you in Bangkok. Over the years, his mind has been on his daughter, and his business ability has indeed declined.
These emotions didn't seem to be all for Lin Mu, but more like talking to himself, or Xu Quan was sitting opposite him. Lin Mu also knew that he still had something to say, so he waited quietly.
Sure enough, Zheng Xuan said, the old lady who had dinner with you at noon, that is, my mother, she turned out to be a student of Master Xu Beihong, surnamed Lu Yanyinhuan, after the Japanese surrendered, she and my father came to Thailand, and it has been more than 60 years.
Lin Mu was surprised, he didn't expect that Zheng Qimin's grandmother was actually a student of Master Xu Beihong. The mountains do not turn around, and grace receives grievances. Going around in circles, this painting still leads all the people who are related to it in circles. It's just that in this circle, there are sorrows and joys, joys and sorrows.
Lin Mu said, hey, that's really a coincidence. I had heard that Ms. Lu had also rescued this painting, and if it wasn't for the clues she found, Master Xu might never have seen this painting again.
You're amazing, young man. I didn't expect my daughter to be so discerning. It seems that I'm still old, and I haven't seen your magic last time! Zheng Xuan said curtly.
Lin Mu didn't take the topic, he didn't want to deviate from the main route. He continued, it seems that tomorrow night's grand party will be grandma's old man's birthday party!
Clever! Zheng Xuan stood up excitedly and said, I have never seen such a young and wise child as you! Indeed, my mother is very old, and it is not easy to survive to this day. When we ate at noon, the red wine she drank was actually a special longevity nutrient solution. This is something that I sponsored from the most famous pharmaceutical company in the United States. My mother didn't see the painting, she didn't see it.
Fortunately, my brother and I, as well as Xu Quan, worked hard and finally got the result. Uncle Xu Quan, Uncle Xu, is a disciple of my mother, but he later switched to the field of business, you haven't seen his paintings, the level is much higher than most painters!
Tomorrow's event is indeed for my mother's wish! However, her old man's 100th birthday is not tomorrow, but three months later. In three months, I will solemnly invite you to participate as Amin's boyfriend. I hope you don't refuse.
After saying that, he walked over and stretched out his right hand towards Lin Mu. Seeing him so excited, Lin Mu knew that this time, he finally recognized himself. However, his task is not yet complete, and he still needs to continue to deal with Zheng Xuan.
So he stood up and shook Zheng Xuan's hand. Strong and powerful, very strong, if it is an ordinary friend or elder, Lin Mu will definitely think that he is a warm and cheerful successful person. However, he is Zheng Qimin's father and a killer demon king.
Zheng Xuan didn't care about his expression, and returned to his original position after shaking his hand. He said, I have invited the most famous master in the whole Southeast Asia, the Japanese Akida Yuta, his level is indeed not blown, and the uncle of the Tibetan painting box does not hide it from you, it is indeed in my hands. Akida also said that he wanted to kill them all, but one of them seemed to have helped him during his trip to the United States, so he decided to let him go. For this reason, I deducted the balance of his payment.
Could it be that Lao Lin was saved by Zhaotian? The forest was confused. However, if Zheng Xuan hadn't said it, he wouldn't have known about the existence of Zhaotian at all.
Zheng Xuan saw him frowning, thinking that he was questioning himself, and hurriedly said, Since you are related to our Zheng family, then I will tell the truth to the end. After we got this box, we found that we couldn't open it. If you force it, the painting inside will definitely be damaged. So after negotiation, we had to find the owner of the box, and only he could open the box.
I see! Lin Mu suddenly realized.
Lin Mu secretly thought, the owner of the box was far away in the sky, close in front of him. It's a pity that you have no eyes and don't know Taishan Beidou.
Zheng Xuan said, are you afraid that we won't find the owner of the box? Hahaha, it's not hard. Let's just do a little bit of the trick......
Look, isn't this coming?
After speaking, Zheng Xuan gave a high-five, the door opened, and two people walked in with one person.
Lin Mu looked back, and his jaw almost dropped.
The one who was escorted in was Lao Lin.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that this Zheng family is indeed the Longtan Tiger's Den. No matter how shrewd he and Lao Lin are, they can't match a single hair of others. Such a scheming person, not to mention the richest man in Koh Samui, even if he is the richest man in Thailand and the richest man in Southeast Asia, it is reasonable.
There was a sense of relaxed numbness when Lin Muden arrived. It turns out that no matter how hard you work, there are always some people, some things, and some things that are out of reach. The gap between this is not a few meters or tens of meters, but thousands of kilometers or even many light years.
Instead of struggling, give up. Lin Mu's heart was filled with a pain and loss that he had never felt before. From Zheng Qimin, he only saw warmth and kindness; From Zheng Qine, he saw richness and diversity; Now, in their father, he sees danger and hardship. This family is a real plug-in existence.
No wonder people don't look down on themselves at first, such a father-in-law, no matter who Zheng Qimin's future husband is, will always live in the shadow of the woman's parents, there is no other possibility.
Lin Mu suddenly thought of Zheng Qimin and her sister. He hurriedly shouted, what about Zheng Qina?
Zheng Xuan laughed and said, what is Zheng Qine? I have only one daughter from front to back, and that is Amin. I'll tell you her story later. After speaking, he asked Lao Lin to be escorted to him.
