Chapter 55: The Story of Her Family
The ground was a mess and covered with books.
Xia Chengcheng curled up in the corner of the wardrobe and bedside table, his head buried deep in his knees.
There was a sound of gentle breathing, probably from crying and falling asleep.
Luo Jinli gently walked over to a book and bent down to pick it up.
Only then did the oil painting underneath be revealed.
Luo Jinli understood.
Is she trying to flatten the painting and put it together?
It's just that this oil painting is painted on paper after all, and once it is folded, no matter how much it is pressed, it will leave indelible traces.
Perhaps, she could redraw a new one and hypnotize her into thinking that what had happened before was a dream?
"Little ......" sister.
Xiaolan set up the dishes and chopsticks, and when she saw that Luo Jinli and the others were delayed, she thought about coming over to take a look at the situation.
As soon as he spoke, Luo Jinli quickly turned around, put his finger on the center of his lips, and made a silent motion.
Xiaolan quickly stopped her voice.
Luo Jinli straightened her body.
Xiaolan followed her gaze and looked down to see Xia Chengcheng sitting on the ground asleep in the corner.
"Is she alright?"
Xiaolan made a lip sync and asked silently.
Luo Jinli shook her head, pointed to the door, and motioned for her to go out.
The two left the room one after the other.
Luo Jinli came out later, closed the door, and took Xiaolan to the restaurant, before she spoke: "It's hard to fall asleep, let her sleep for a while." ”
Luo Jinli rubbed her temples with a headache.
In terms of feelings, she really can't do much, but it's better for Xia Chengcheng to fall asleep than to cry all the time.
From crying from morning to night, the iron beating body can't stand it.
Xiaolan nodded approvingly.
Luo Jinli then instructed: "Xiaolan, tomorrow you go to the mall and buy some materials for oil painting." ”
Xiaolan's eyes rolled, and she understood Luo Jinli's thoughts.
"Miss, do you want to paint a new painting for her? But the original painting has been destroyed, and I just looked at it, especially the eyes, and it is even more ruined, and the charm is gone, even if it is a master, I am afraid that it will not be able to be completely restored." ”
Although Xiaolan is a servant, she is also a serious college graduate, and the Luo family is also well-established, and there are many famous painters' paintings in the collection.
Because she has a high education, is young, and learns things quickly, the Luo family asked her to learn how to keep these paintings and clean them regularly.
It's just that Luo Jinli moved out recently, and she didn't worry about the newcomer coming to take care of Luo Jinli, so she was sent here.
But she has been influenced by so many famous paintings before, although she doesn't know much, but she also knows that character portraits pay attention to that charm.
The easiest place to express Shen Yun is precisely the eyes.
Eyes are the windows to the soul.
"Who said I was going to hire a master?"
Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, and didn't react to what Luo Jinli meant by this.
"If you don't invite a master, how can you restore the painting?"
"Can't I draw it myself?"
Xiaolan couldn't cry or laugh.
"Miss, don't make a fuss. ”
Luo Jinli pointed to his nose: "I'm serious." ”
Xiaolan scratched her head, organized her own language, and thought about how to tell Luo Jinli euphemistically that her painting level really couldn't be worse, not as good as a three-year-old child.
"Miss, I think let's find a master to paint and try to restore the portrait perfectly. ”
"Find a master, I can restore it myself. ”
Xiaolan's mouth opened, and she almost blurted out something to complain about her.
But when she thought that Luo Jinli was the eldest lady after all, her temper was not good, although she seemed to be much kinder recently, but what she wanted to say was poked at Luo Jinli's sore spot, in case she was unhappy and her true form was revealed......
Luo Jinli saw through her thoughts, and her head was full of black lines.
Oh my good, how did she forget that the original owner was a waste wood who didn't know anything, only had a stinky temper of the eldest lady.
She was almost exposed.
"Okay, okay," Luo Jinli told her to stop, "I'll find someone to draw it, but you'll have to buy it back first." ”
Xiaolan was greatly relieved to see that she had finally persuaded Luo Jinli.
She'd seen Luo Jinli's paintings before, and it was really ......
It's hard to put into words.
If you let Miss's friends see the mother she painted, she is not like a ghost, and she may be able to break off her friendship with Miss angrily!
This is a friend that her young lady has had with great difficulty, she is a baby, and she has to help her young lady keep it!
"Okay, I'll buy it tomorrow. ”
Luo Jinli knew her thoughts, but she didn't bother to explain it to her, just because she misunderstood, and it saved her trouble.
After the two finished eating, Luo Jinli just wanted to go back to the room to rest, when he heard a faint sobbing sound coming from Xia Qingcheng's room.
The room is well insulated, and the sound is very subtle, and others can't hear it at all, but in Luo Jinli's ears, it is very clear.
Luo Jinli took Xiaolan away, asked her to cook some more food, and walked in by herself.
After Xia Chengcheng woke up, he found that the portrait he had placed had been moved, and he cried anxiously rummaging through the patchwork one by one, for fear that he would lose a piece because of his sloppiness.
Even Luo Jinli came in, but he didn't notice it.
Luo Jinli walked in, half-knelt on the ground, and reached out to help Xia Qingcheng pick it up.
"Little Lier......"
Xia Chengcheng calmed down a lot, at least he could tell who the person in front of him was.
"Allure, are you feeling better?"
Xia Qingcheng pulled the corners of his mouth bitterly, how could it be good.
"I don't want anything, I give them everything, why doesn't Li Ruofen even let go of my mother's portrait?
That's her own sister! How could she be so ruthless!"
Xia Chengcheng fell into memory.
From what she said, Luo Jinli learned that her mother, Li Ruohua, was a talented fashion designer.
Li Ruohua and Xia Zhicheng met on a blind date, but later Li Ruohua had outstanding abilities and soon surpassed Xia Zhicheng, and Xia Zhicheng was aggrieved.
It happened that at that time, Li Ruohua's sister Li Ruofen came to the city to look for a job and had no place to live, so Li Ruohua let her live in her own home.
Li Ruofen is different from a self-reliant strong woman like Li Ruohua, she is a person who relies on men, and she has a good set of controlling men.
Xia Zhicheng has gained an unprecedented status with Li Ruofen, and his machismo has been greatly satisfied.
The two fell in love and secretly mixed together, and there was Li Qianmu, who was three years younger than Xia Tingcheng.
It's just that Li Ruohua didn't know, he just thought that Li Ruofen was abandoned by some negative man, and he cared more about her.
After Li Tingmu was born, Li Ruohua was treated as a daughter, Xia Tingcheng had, Li Qianmu had, Xia Tingcheng did not have, Li Qianmu still had.
However, when Xia Chengcheng was in the third year of junior high school, Li Ruohua discovered their secret, and Li Ruohua, who had never experienced a major setback, died of depression.
After Li Ruohua's death, Li Ruofen ascended to the throne, and all the financial power of the family was pinched in her hands.
In addition, she was spoiled by Li Ruohua, and she was used to spending lavishly, and without Li Ruohua's income, Li Ruohua's family property accumulated for many years only lasted for a year, and was defeated by Li Ruofen.
