The fire crushed my grandfather, my mother, and Li Zao.

The more she understood, the more Lu Xiangning could feel the grief and despair in her heart back then.

His bereavement was like a drizzle, which made him gradually feel regret and grief over the long years, and Li Zao's bereavement was like a violent storm, falling suddenly, shattering all her happiness and beauty.

Lu Xiangning never believed in ghosts and gods, but he was particularly pious when he burned paper for his grandmother, and he silently longed in his heart, hoping that his grandmother would have a spirit in the sky to reunite Li Zao and his grandfather as soon as possible.

After coming out of the peace hall, the three of them slowly walked back.

Zheng Keqing took the initiative to say: "Xiao Zao, after the annual leave, you can go back with A-Ning." ”

"What, you don't want me to accompany you?"

"Mom has delayed you for too long, you have to have your own life and career, don't take care of me too much. Besides, the transportation is so convenient now, you can come back whenever you have time. Zheng Keqing's thinking is very clear, and this is what she wants to say to them after careful consideration, "I will take the medicine on time, and I will tell you immediately if the situation changes, just like before." ”

Li Zao was still not at ease, "I'm not leaving, you still need someone to take care of you." ”

"You and Su Kui are in Jiangcheng together, and your godfather and godmother can rest assured. I can take care of myself, my legs and feet are getting better day by day, and I will be able to walk soon. ”

Seeing that the mother and daughter had a disagreement, Lu Xiangning thought about it and immediately said: "The way Mom said is not impossible, it is to disturb my godfather and godmother for a few months." ”

Li Zao glared at him, you'd better let me go with you, right?!

Lu Xiangning pushed the wheelchair while pulling her hand and letting her hold herself, "The house will start construction immediately after the New Year, we will definitely come back often during this time, and when the house is finished and decorated, my mother will be more comfortable living in her own home." We dug Aunt Shen over, aren't you at ease? ”

Li Zao's eyes lit up, "Aunt Shen is willing?" ”

"Aunt Shen is a part-time worker, where to do it or not? She works to make money for her son, and we have solved her worries, and she is definitely willing. ”

In fact, no matter whether Li Zao stays or not, Zheng Keqing needs people around him.

Aunt Shen has taken care of Zheng Keqing for many years, she is meticulous and thoughtful, knows the roots, and is the best candidate.

Before Zheng Keqing was discharged from the hospital, Lu Xiangning privately negotiated this matter with Aunt Shen, as long as Aunt Shen took good care of Zheng Keqing, he would arrange her son's job in the future, and her salary would be much higher than before.

He solved all Aunt Shen's worries, and Aunt Shen could naturally take care of Zheng Keqing with peace of mind.

However, he asked Aunt Shen to keep this matter a secret for the time being, Li Zao was bent on settling in Sucheng, he was afraid that after Li Zao found out, he thought that he would use means to prevent her from leaving Jiangcheng.

Now it was Zheng Keqing who proposed it himself, and he just pushed the boat along the river.

In his selfish heart, of course, he hoped that Li Zao could stay in Jiangcheng.

As she was walking back, Li Zao's mobile phone suddenly rang, and she saw that it was Su Suiyou's call.

"Hey, godfather?"

Su Suiyou asked cautiously on the phone, "Li Zao, is it convenient for you to talk now?" ”

"Convenient."

"A group of you in the past few days, it is not convenient for me to tell you alone, I only made this call today while Su Kui and Gu Zheng went out. Your grandfather has a box with me. ”

"Boxes?"

"Yes, just before the accident at your house, what you gave me for the bus was ten silk paintings."

Li Zao was a little confused.

Su Suiyou asked again, "Do you know who your grandfather is?" ”

"Responsible."

"Yes, you already know that he is responsible, then you should also know how precious his silk pieces are, and now they have to be counted in tens of millions. Money is not exposed, so I tell you privately, how to deal with it, you decide for yourself. ”

Li Zao already had an idea in his heart, "We'll come back right away and talk about it when we get home." ”

Back at the Su family, Su Kui and Gu Zheng had not come back, and Li Zao had no intention of continuing to hide Lu Xiangning, she also wanted to use Lu Xiangning's power to investigate the truth about the fire that year.

Su Suiyou moved the box out of the storage room, it was an old-fashioned wooden box, the surface was gray and black, and it was no longer clear what color it was, and the true color of the wood could still be seen where the patent leather fell off, mottled and old, and very heavy.

Su Suiyou opened the box, and inside it happened to be a black painting tube with ten long cylinders.

Unfolded one by one, it is actually a silk version of the top ten famous paintings.

If it is measured by money, it is not only tens of millions, but every painting should start at tens of millions.

Li Zao was stunned, and trembled his hands to touch the picture, those lines, those weaving threads, each line condensed his grandfather's hard work.

Lu Xiangning's feeling was also great, it was the first time he had seen a silk painting so closely, and he could see that the warp and weft could be so precise, which was a must.

Su Suiyou: "There is a saying that 'people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong', and the reason why he retired back then was because your mother had an accident." Only by being incognito and quitting completely can you live a life without being noticed, and you and your mother can be protected. ”

Zheng Keqing had already burst into tears, all because of her youth and ignorance.

The doctor said that there is no need to take care of her emotions excessively, and it is inevitable to touch the scene when she returns to her hometown, cry, vent her emotions, and let her emotions change in joy, anger and sorrow, which is beneficial to her condition.

Su Suiyou: "To put it mildly, I don't know if your grandfather is still alive, when you come back, I have to return his things to you, and I have completed a mission." ”

Li Zao thanked him, but he was grateful but curious, "Godfather, why did my grandfather let you keep the painting?" Did he say why? ”

"He said that someone was working on the idea of these paintings, for fear of being stolen."

"Who?"

Su Suiyou shook his head, "Then I don't know, and he didn't say anything." ”

"Godfather, do you know Ji Honghai? He was a collector and was particularly interested in silk paintings. ”

Su Suiyou thought about it carefully, but still shook his head.

Su Qing suddenly thought of something, and interjected, "Li Zao, I remember that a strange man came three or four times during that time, and he was beaten out by your grandfather when he returned. ”

"Before the fire?"

"Yes."

"Do you still have an impression of what that man looks like?"

"I don't remember the appearance, I just glanced at it from a distance, I can't see it really, but at first glance, the person is from the city, with a suit, shirt, leather shoes, and a rectangular black leather bag in his hand, very fashionable, tall and thin, like a star on TV."

After thinking about it, her grandfather was a good-natured person, and his mood was also very stable, and the person who could make him go back and fight out must be someone he hated deeply, a tall and thin city person, could it be......

Li Zao immediately searched for a photo of Li Jianxun with his mobile phone, "Godmother, look at it, is it him?" ”

Su Qing took a look, "No, that person is much better-looking." ”

Li Zao was stunned for a moment, recalling that when she first met Li Jianxun nine years ago, she also thought he was very good-looking, but in recent years, Li Jianxun has been very blessed and has long lost his original handsome appearance.
