Chapter 278

"You, how did you find this painting..." the old man muttered to himself, and looked back at Qi Lingyang, feeling a little weird.

It is said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here, and as soon as he mentioned the painter, Su Xiang found out his paintings.

Qi Lingyang also looked at the old man, and walked towards Su Xiang.The old man stood on one side with his hands behind his back, watching Su Xiang unwrap the paper, pointed, raised his head and said slowly to Qi Lingyang: "Here, he is the painter who was with Shen Yan back then. Hey... "The old man sighed and shook his head, then glanced at Su Xiang again, feeling like he was being tricked by nature.

Qi Lingyang and Su Xiang's eyes met, and both of them had serious expressions on their faces. In order to prevent the old man from noticing something strange, both of them remained calm. Su Xiang endured the surging excitement in his chest, and his fingers trembled a little.

The painter who was with Shen Yan back then was called Ye Cheng?Then, what happened to Yan Lin, her friend?Did she make a mistake?
No matter what, Su Xiang breathed calmly, opened the last piece of paper, and a beautiful painting appeared in front of his eyes. Under the soft light, the painting seemed to be gentle, giving people a warm and lively feeling.

Su Xiang held his breath and stared at the painting, and there was no movement for a long time. The old man saw it, thinking that Su Xiang was amazed by the painting, and a shrewd light flashed across his eyes.He coughed lightly, and said, "It seems that Ms. Su has an eye for this painting."

Su Xiang didn't respond to him, but continued to look at the painting, unable to take his eyes off the painting at all.

The structure of the painting is very special, a bunch of ginger flowers is held by a pair of soft hands, the flowers cover the woman's face, only a pair of bright smiling eyes can be seen from the gap between the flowers, as if the flowers are her, she is the flowers.

eyes... mother...

Even though there is no smoke in this world, she always remembers those smiling eyes.

Su Xiang couldn't help but reached out to touch those eyes, and when he was about to touch them, the old man suddenly called her: "Don't, don't touch."

The old man looked agitated, his body reflexively squatted down, and his hands were stretched forward to stop him.Su Xiang was startled by the sudden interruption, and looked at the old man in astonishment, and the old man immediately said: "The paint on this painting is not ordinary paint." After speaking, he glanced at the painting with a face full of treasures.

Su Xiang lowered his head and took a look. Although it was a long time ago, compared with those antique paintings, it was only more than 30 years old, and the colors were as new as they were.The old man knelt down, pointed at the flowers and said, "At that time, Ye Cheng graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and studied ancient paints. All the paints for his paintings were mixed by himself."

Su Xiang was silent. When she heard the story of that person, she didn't dare to breathe loudly, for fear of missing a word.She has studied traditional Chinese painting and has a bit of art skills. She knows that when some people are obsessed with painting, they will mix their own paints, and some even use gemstones to grind them into powder, which is why paintings that have not faded for thousands of years have been handed down.

Su Xiang didn't know what raw materials Ye Cheng used to mix such a color, but it must have been carefully developed by him.

The woman above is his favorite.But why would he entrust such a greasy old man with such a precious painting for sale?
Su Xiang asked the question in his heart, looked up at the old man calmly, and said calmly: "Oh? So this Ye Cheng is so talented. But why are his paintings placed here? Also, according to this man's talent , shouldn’t be unknown, why have I never heard of it?”

The old man lifted the chair and sat down, with regret on his face again, he said: "Hey, it's all a love word..."

He glanced at Su Xiang, seemed to be afraid, and closed his mouth.Su Xiang and Qi Lingyang looked at each other, she was the daughter of Su Mingdong and Shen Yan, the old man probably worried about this.

Su Xiang smiled lightly and said, "You don't have to shy away from it. I also like to hear stories about gifted scholars and beautiful ladies."

The old man grinned, smiled and said, "Miss Su chose this painting because of fate. The person in this painting is your mother, Shen Yan. Miss Su must have recognized it just now, right?"

Su Xiang inherited Shen Yan's eyes, and when he smiled, his eyes curved like a moon, watery and clear, almost the same as the ones in the painting.

The old man turned his head to look at the painting, feeling emotional, and said again: "That's why you found it. I haven't seen it for many years, and I almost forgot...Fate, fate..."

Su Xiang looked at him, pursed his lower lips, and took the opportunity to ask: "Since this painting is related to my mother, and she is no longer alive, as a child, since I know there is such a past, if Mr. He is willing, You might as well tell me more, so I can learn more about her past."

The old man glanced at her, pondered for a while, nodded his head and said quickly: "Forget it, you are Shen Yan's daughter, you should know if you want to know."

"Ye Cheng and Shen Yan were a couple who loved each other very much many years ago. They were talented and beautiful. At that time, in China, the field of art was still in its infancy. Ye Cheng was full of ambition and yearned for the palace of art. Shen Yan studied classical art. The two cooperated with each other and studied together, Ye Cheng's agent at that time was Shen Yan."

Su Xiang frowned slightly, and could imagine the scene of the two loving and supporting each other at that time.Ye Chengchu was not well-known when he was a fledgling, and Shen Yan knew painting but had no connections, so he helped sell them everywhere, and the two went out together.

"...Later, Shen Yan met Su Mingdong, Miss Su's father, at an appreciation meeting. At that time, Shen Yan wanted to push Ye Cheng's painting out, but it planted the seeds for their separation... ..."

The old man said something slowly again, in order to be afraid of Su Xiang, those words were also very cryptic, but Su Xiang could get a message from his words.

More than 30 years ago, domestic awareness of artworks was not as popular as it is now. Group gatherings such as appreciation fairs were mostly for upper-class people or intellectuals. She killed a bad wolf, which caused the tragedy between her and the painter.

Su Xiang had already learned about the following stories from Qi Haipeng and Su Run, which were almost the same as what the old man said.

Su Xiang looked at the old man in front of him who was immersed in the past, and asked softly: "Then what about you, who are you?"

"Later, Shen Yan married Su Mingdong, so what about that painter? Shen Yan is no longer his agent, why did he entrust his paintings to you?"

Ye Cheng entrusted him with the painting, so he must trust him very much.Does this old man still keep in touch with Ye Cheng?

Su Xiang had a little hope in his heart, and looked at him with burning eyes.

The old man stroked his goatee, and said in a deep tone: "He and I studied under a mentor, and I am his senior brother. However, I knew that my talent was not enough, so I didn't continue to draw. For some people, buying a four-piece set at home is the pursuit of the goal, who would have the thought to buy a painting for a living."

The old man snorted lightly, as if he didn't take Ye Cheng's idea of ​​pursuing art wholeheartedly at that time: "However, it is not possible in China, but there are people abroad who understand art and are very interested in Chinese painting. At that time, I created a new era in the industry A little achievement, when I returned to China, I heard about Ye Cheng."

"Ye Cheng wanted to be famous, but he didn't expect Shen Yan to leave him. This was a big blow to him, but his ideal has not changed. I took his painting and put it on sale."

From the old man's face, Su Xiang saw that his eyes were bright and he was very proud. He thought that Ye Cheng's paintings had brought him a lot of benefits, but Qi Haipeng clearly said that Ye Cheng was not famous.Could it be that the crown used the name of other celebrity painters?Or, because the old man sold the painting to foreigners, it didn't cause any repercussions in China?
Su Xiang: "But..."

The old man seemed to know what she wanted to say, and said: "Don't get me wrong. I know that Ye Cheng wants to be famous, and he desperately wants to be famous. In those ten years, he painted like crazy, day and night. How could he allow me to sell his paintings under someone else's name."

Su Xiang sighed lightly, then it was the latter, the old man sold Ye Cheng's paintings to foreigners.

Wait, in those ten years?
She frowned slightly, her eyes moved slightly, and her thoughts changed.

Ye Cheng must not be reconciled to Shen Yan being forced to marry by Su Mingdong, so he wants to become famous and accumulate wealth even more urgently. He wants to quickly obtain a certain social status, so that he can get Shen Yan back.So, after that ten years, he came back and wanted to take Shen Yan away, but he was still discovered by Su Mingdong.

Su Run said that that day, when Shen Yan was brought home by Su Mingdong, there was blood on his body, that means Su Mingdong injured Ye Cheng, maybe...killed him?

Thinking of this, Su Xiang's heart trembled, and he looked up at Qi Lingyang. Qi Lingyang faced her, shook his head slightly, and signaled her to calm down with his eyes.

Su Xiang took a deep breath and said: "Then what happened later? It stands to reason that the domestic environment will improve later, and more and more people understand art. If Ye Cheng continues like this, he will definitely become famous , why is there no news?"

The old man showed that regretful expression again, touched the frame with his fingers, he shook his head and said, "I don't know. I lost contact with him for a long time, and one day, he came to me suddenly and handed over this painting to me. Gave it to me and asked me to give him a lot of money. At that time he seemed to have suffered a serious injury and was very emaciated. Then he disappeared. After that, I never saw him again ..."

Su Xiang slightly opened his lower lip, but he suppressed what he wanted to say.

Ye Cheng was injured, and he didn't even want Shen Yan's paintings. He loves Shen Yan so much, is he willing to do so?Or is it because Su Mingdong played some tricks to make him penniless and can only sell paintings?

Su Mingdong beat him hard, he probably took the money and stayed away from here.But he could come back to look for Shen Yan in ten years, why didn't he show up again after that?
Having been exposed to too much information all at once, Su Xiang's heart was disturbed at the moment, and her mind was noisy. She stabilized her mind and asked, "But since Ye Cheng's paintings can be sold at a high price, why do you sell this painting? Are you still keeping it, why haven’t you sold it?”

The old man said: "This painting is his own treasure, and it is also the only one he left with me. With Ye Cheng's talent, I believe that after a little more time, when he comes out of the mountain again, he will definitely become famous. Noisy ones, I just want to sell them for a price. You know, all painters, once they become famous, their early paintings are very valuable. However, he never appeared again, disappeared, and there is no trace at all."

The old man shrugged his shoulders, and he could tell that he had looked for him before, but he could never find this person again.

Su Xiang and Qi Lingyang glanced at each other. After hearing the old man's story, they should leave.Qi Lingyang smiled and said: "Since Su Xiang is destined for this painting, I would like to ask Mr. He to share a copy from his private collection. I want this painting."

The old man's shrewd eyes flashed, and chrysanthemum wrinkles emerged from the corners of his eyes. His chubby cheeks shone brightly under the light. He wrote a series of numbers on the torn-off wrapper, and said with a smile: "I entered this business so quickly. For many years, I have never encountered such a predestined relationship. Since the person in the painting is Miss Su's mother, it can be regarded as returned to the original owner."

Qi Lingyang glanced at the string of numbers, raised his eyebrows slightly, it was a very high number.He nodded, agreeing without blinking an eye.A painting, getting so much information, is worth it.

He said: "Please ask the old gentleman to wrap up the painting carefully, and I will thank the old gentleman first."

The old man sold the painting at a high price, so he couldn't help being overjoyed. He raised his hand and ordered his subordinates to wrap up the painting carefully. Qi Lingyang thought of something, and asked, "Old man, has anyone else come to see this painting?"

The old man was startled, shook his head and said, "Except for the painting being moved when I changed venues, it has been left on the shelf."

Speaking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that that person might come back, so he deliberately kept it, even if he came back in the future, he would not be able to see him again.

Su Xiang turned his head and looked at Qi Lingyang. His palm was on her shoulder, and he led her out first. The old man smiled and looked at the painting that was being repacked, as if looking at a box of RMB.

When Su Xiang reached the steps of the stairs, her footsteps suddenly stopped. She turned around and said, "By the way, old man, do you know Yan Lin, Mr. Yan?"

"Huh?" The old man had a very blank expression on his face, "Who are you talking about?"

I don't know... Su Xiang shook his head, smiled and said, "It's all right."

……

In the car, Su Xiang was very preoccupied. She had been substituting Yan Lin into the role of father, but now there was another Ye Cheng, and the whole person was confused. She needed to think again.

Pearl was tired, and fell asleep peacefully in her arms, not knowing what she dreamed of, smiling sweetly with her little mouth slightly open, and her little head arched towards her body.Su Xiang came back to his senses, hugged the little girl and changed into a comfortable position. When he looked up, he saw Fu Ying's dark eyes looking at her silently.

Su Xiang touched his head and asked softly, "Tired?"

Fu Ying shook his head and whispered against her arm, "Are you unhappy? Is that painting expensive?"

Did you buy an expensive painting and feel distressed?

Su Xiang touched his beautiful eyes and said, "I'm not unhappy. Mom bought a priceless painting today, so I have more ideas."

"Oh..." Fu Ying nodded, wondering what a priceless painting should look like. Is it better than those famous paintings in the art exhibition?

"Can I see it?" he asked.

Su Xiang looked at the serious and pious look on the little guy's face. When he was born, Shen Yan was gone, and the child had never seen her, his grandmother.

Su Xiang said softly: "Of course, you will like it very much."

Back in Xiangyuan, Pearl was sent to the children's room to sleep. Fu Ying hadn't finished his homework yet, so Su Xiang asked him to do it first.In the studio, Ye Cheng's painting was placed on her desk.Qi Lingyang looked down at the painting, and when he heard Su Xiang's footsteps, he turned his head and looked over. Su Xiang walked in and stood by the table, and the two looked at the painting together.

Su Xiangdao: "Yan Lin, Ye Cheng, what do you think of these two people?"

Qi Lingyang took out a piece of paper from the printer and handed it to her, "Look at this first."

Su Xiang picked it up and looked at it. It was information about Nanxing Company. Yan Lin made his fortune in rubber plantations in Malaysia more than 20 years ago.

Qi Lingyang said: "After listening to old man He's words and this painting, do you think that Ye Cheng and Yan Lin are just two related people?"

Su Xiangdao: "What do you think?"

Qi Lingyang lifted the office chair, and the rollers made a soft noise on the floor. He let Su Xiang sit on it, while he half-sat on the desk. He said: "A man is seriously injured, and his beloved woman is not injured. Successfully taken away. Su Mingdong will not let him go, and he is deeply humiliated, and the hatred will only deepen."

"Change your name and surname, change your appearance, revenge that has been dormant for more than 20 years, how likely do you think this is?"

Su Xiang's arm rested on the armrest, she grabbed the soft leather on it, slowly curled her fingers and said: "Do you think that he sold the painting to old man He and then went to Malaysia, and used the money Regrouping, in order to avoid Su Mingdong, and to carry out his plan, he changed his name and surname, changed his appearance, and when he returns, he will definitely have to repay him a hundredfold?"

Qi Lingyang nodded, glanced at the information and said: "The time when Nanxing Company was established is only two years away from the time when Ye Cheng disappeared, so I have reason to be so suspicious. That painter is Ye Cheng and also Yan Lin."

"But, why did he—" Su Xiang stopped in the middle of his sentence. Ye Cheng was seriously injured and could no longer continue to paint, so he lost his dream of becoming a great painter and turned to business. revenge plan.

If not, it would be impossible to explain why Yan Lin would deal with the Su family in such a way that the entire Su family would be ruined, and even the land would be demolished.If it's just for friends, this method is too much.

Su Xiang twisted her fingers, looked up at the ginger flower on the painting, she said: "But, he loves Shen Yan so much, he came back to take revenge, why didn't he take her away?"

If it was taken away at that time, such a thing would not have happened.

Yan Lin, who came back again, was a successful businessman, not Ye Cheng, a painter. He was stronger than Ye Cheng, but he did not take Shen Yan away.If it was just because he didn't want to startle the snake, he could take Shen Yan away when Su Mingdong was desperate. At that time, Su Mingdong was definitely not his opponent.

In addition, he succeeded in revenge in the end, why didn't he show up from the beginning to the end, just drowned in the crowd, didn't he enjoy the thrill of successful revenge?

Could it be that they met before, but Shen Yan had already promised Su Mingdong that he would not leave him, so she gave up and escaped?

Thinking of this, Su Xiang's heart sank. Could it be that it was because of her in the end?
She covered her face, her mind was still in chaos.Qi Lingyang stroked her hair and said, "Perhaps, Ye Cheng when he came back..." He paused, and then said, "Yan Lin, his heart for Shen Yan is no longer what it used to be."

Su Xiang's body froze slightly, he raised his head, looked at him with blank eyes, and then slowly focused.When Qi Lingyang was in the gallery, he asked Old Man He one last question...

She said: "You mean...he was so completely blinded by revenge that he didn't even care about Shen Yan?"

Yes, Yan Lin and Old Man He knew each other, but even if Yan Lin avoided being recognized by him, he could ask Yan Gu to take back the painting, but the painting was completely forgotten in that corner.

Qi Lingyang held her hand and put it on his lap, looked at Su Xiang calmly with his eyes and said, "He came back as a successful businessman, and given the importance of that painting to him, he has enough financial resources to buy it back. But , he completely ignored this important painting that brought him venture capital."

"I think it's not just that I was blinded by hatred, it should be that something else happened before that made Yan Lin change his heart towards her."

Su Xiang opened his lips: "What's the matter?"

Qi Lingyang said: "Only the person involved knows about this." He turned his body halfway, glanced at the painting and said, "Su Xiang, I think we should go to the Pillow Garden once."

Su Xiang looked at the past together and landed on the painting.

If Yan Lin is really Ye Cheng, can he remain indifferent?
……

Mid-level villa.

When Fu Hanchuan returned to Fu Mansion, the big mansion was deserted, and he had long been used to such desertedness. He took off his suit, threw it on the sofa, poured a glass of water and went upstairs.

When Mother Song came back from shopping outside, she knew that Fu Hanchuan was back when she saw the suitcase in the living room. She looked up and looked upstairs, put the vegetables in the kitchen first, and then went upstairs.

Fu Hanchuan was in the study. Mother Song knocked on the door, pushed it open and said, "Mr. Fu, you are back."

Fu Hanchuan checked emails on the computer, and when he heard the words, he hummed, and Song's mother said, "Master Fu Ying went to Mrs. Xiangyuan, do you want him to come back?"

Fu Hanchuan paused when he was typing on the keyboard, looked up at Mother Song and said, "He didn't go to the extra-curricular training class?"

Mother Song immediately covered for Fu Ying, and said, "Young master is lonely at home. It happens to be the weekend. My wife can take care of me and let him go."

Fu Hanchuan frowned slightly, didn't say anything, and waved his hands. After Song's mother left, he took out his mobile phone and called Fu Ying. After receiving the call, the little guy said he would go home immediately, without delay.

Half an hour later, Fu Hanchuan stood outside the gate of Fu Mansion. He was wearing casual home clothes and walked back and forth twice. A red cooper came into view, and then stopped slowly. rustling sound...
