Chapter 561 Not the old him
In the end, Qi Feng didn't buy the paint he wanted, so he drove back the same way.

The little girl who went out with her didn't understand. She frowned and asked, "It's already here, why don't you buy it and go back? The paint cans at home were knocked over. If you want to paint, it's useless."

Qi Feng drove the car calmly, and smiled softly when he heard the words, "Isn't there a bookstore near my home, just go there and buy it."

She suddenly figured it out. It wasn't that she didn't know that the quality of the paints of the two companies was the same, but she also had a small, inextricable feeling in her heart.

But it is a coincidence that after revisiting the old place, this feeling will be solved by itself.

She went back along the same road and bought new paints. She was in a good mood.

When I returned to the house, the aunt who was cooking at home hurried to open the door, saying that there was a guest, and the old lady was entertaining in the living room.

"Guest?" Qi Feng walked along the eaves to the gate of the villa, and at the same time asked, "What guest?"

The aunt frowned, and wiped her hands habitually wrapped in her apron, "He's from Kyoto, and the old lady came here when she celebrated her birthday, the one who came with you, miss."

Speaking of this, Qi Feng understood who it was.

Her footsteps could not help but pause, and her face became a little colder.

The girl next to her with the paint box and paintbrush saw her thoughts, and pouted in the direction of the side door of the eaves, "Miss, if you don't want to see her, why don't you just bypass the backyard and go upstairs, and we'll tell you that you haven't come back yet."

"No need." Qi Feng frowned and thought about it, and finally stepped out, "Hiding is not an option."

She thought, Miss Song was right after all, her roots are here, if Shang Rui wants to find her, she can't escape.

Thinking of this, she walked to the door of the villa, stepped up the steps and entered, and when she was changing shoes at the entrance, the man on the sofa in the living room had already noticed her figure.

But his eyes did not change, and he was always sitting on the independent sofa chair, listening to the old lady say: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Shang, the book you asked for is no longer with me, please forgive me, old lady." I can't help you..."

Old Madam Qi's voice was hoarse, but she had a good accent, and she controlled every word and every word very well. She was also sitting upright, with her hands on the cane, and she maintained a basically polite attitude towards the man in front of her.

Shang Rui's eyes were cold, his face gradually sank, and from the corner of his eye, he looked at the entrance of the living room deliberately, "How could it be, I heard Xiaofeng said that this book has been kept by Mr. Qi all this time. This is the only manuscript, so there shouldn’t be any mistakes, right?”

After a pause, he smiled again, "Don't worry, old lady, I know this book is of great literature value even today, and I'm willing to pay for it for what it's worth."

"It's not about the money."

Seeing the other party's firm attitude, as if he didn't intend to give up easily, the old lady's face turned cold, and finally she simply said, "Ms. Song has already bought the book that Mr. Shang wanted."

"Song Ran?"

The man's brows furrowed, and he leaned back, looking over at him with suspicious eyes.

The old man saw through it at a glance, and smiled contemptuously, "It's Miss Song from Kyoto. She mentioned this book to me earlier, and I sold it to her. I didn't know that Mr. Shang also needed this book. What a shame. Feel sorry."

After finishing speaking, the old lady raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the door, "The aunt at home is already preparing the meal, and Mr. Shang has come all the way here, should we leave after eating?"

The words are to keep people for dinner, but it sounds like they are driving people away.

Shang Rui was sensible, and stood up while leaning on the armrest of the sofa, "No need, old lady, since the book is not with you, I won't bother you any more."

The old lady didn't get up, she just nodded with a smile, and she didn't intend to send someone out.

Shang Rui lifted his foot, walked straight to the door, exchanged a shallow glance with Qi Feng who was still standing there, and then passed her by.

At this time, Qi Feng recalled the matter of being stopped by Shang Rui at the door after the award ceremony in Kyoto a few days ago, and she suddenly understood what he said halfway.

So he raised his feet and chased him, standing at the entrance of the eaves and asked him, "You went to the ancient town to find me, was it just for this book?"

Although the man stopped in his footsteps, he never looked back.

The atmosphere between the two was silent for a while, and then his thick and dark voice came, "I am no longer the Shang Rui I was a month ago, and everything I promised you before is something that Shang Rui cannot give you now. "

In his eyes, rights and money are always the most important.

Without these two, anything else would be meaningless to him.

And Qi Feng came to understand it here, and felt ridiculous for her repeated entanglements these days, she snorted twice, stepped back and supported the redwood railing next to her, "So in this way, it was Miss Song who led you there Ancient town?"

Qi Feng, who finally understood, couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, but she still had a little disdain for the man in front of her.

So she bluntly satirized: "The book you want is in Miss Song's hands, which means that she knows you well, and all your actions and plans are under her control."

When Song Ran was mentioned, the man's eyes were full of fire all the time.

Speaking of this, he finally turned around and looked at her.He didn't stop her from speaking, but listened to her continue with cold eyes.

"Just like your loss of Fengrui, from the very beginning, every step of your plan was in her calculations. You will never be able to beat her. Even, you are just a chess piece played by her. She is playing now. Tired, can turn you into an abandoned child at any time."

Qi Feng's rare and sharp words hit Shang Rui's heart word by word. His fists were clenched tightly, and veins popped on his forehead. At the same time, he yelled coldly, "Shut up!"

He couldn't hear a single extra word.

And Qi Feng, who was speaking of this, suddenly realized it himself, and raised the corners of his lips mockingly, "So, I am just her pawn, and my ending was also foreseen by her long ago."

After finishing speaking, she didn't look at the man again, turned around in a daze, and walked towards the backyard while holding on to the railing in a daze.

And the man stared at the figure that gradually walked away until it disappeared into the shadow of the lush trees, as if saying a final farewell.

After a moment of silence, he turned around and strode towards the gate of the courtyard.

Sitting in the car afterwards, the driver carefully observed his gloomy face, wondering for a while whether to start the engine or not.

"Going back to the airport?" The atmosphere froze for a while before he asked cautiously.

But the man didn't seem to hear it, he was only immersed in his own world, recalling all the words the woman said to him just now, and finally a gloomy light gathered in his eyes.

"A chess piece?" He slightly hooked his lips, "I want her to know how powerful a chess piece is."

Immediately, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, dialed the number and went out, and only ordered two words: "Do things."

After that, without waiting for a response, he hung up the phone and told the driver to drive.
