"Gu Jia, why did you come to my house?" Qian Wen said with a smile.
In the past three months, Qian Wen got to know Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin through Wang Manni, and his relationship with them was a little more familiar than ordinary friends.
After Gu Jia learned about Qian Wen's worth, she took the initiative to make friends with him.
Zhong Xiaoqin is also very familiar with Qian Wen because of Wang Manni and Gu Jia, so she prefers to come to her home at Wang Manni's invitation and eat dishes cooked by Qian Wen's personal chef.
"Did you buy this house?" Gu Jia felt a little incredible. Qian Wen's house, which she had been invited to by Wang Manni, was a large and luxurious villa.
"Well, this suite can see the central scenery of the city through the floor-to-ceiling windows, so I bought it." Qian Wen waved his hand and asked Gu Jia to sit down.
Hearing this reason, Gu Jia was a little stunned. She knew through Wang Manni how rich the owner was, but she never expected to buy a house worth 100 million just to see the scenery.
"Gu Jia, are you here?" Qian Wen asked, looking at Gu Jia.
Aunt Zhang brought over two cups of tea and placed them on the coffee table.
When Wei Yongxing and Wang Yun saw their boss chatting with an acquaintance, they went to the study.
"Oh, I'm here to deliver a cake to Mrs. Wang. I didn't expect to meet you." Gu Jia raised the cake in her hand.
"Oh, cake? I heard from Manni that the cake you made is delicious.
Haven't tried it yet.
Mrs. Wang has also moved away, so what do you think of the cake you gave her to me? It can also be regarded as your housewarming gift to me." Qian Wen joked.
"Okay, just don't mind if you do it for someone else."
"How could that happen?" Qian Wen said.
"Aunt Zhang, get me a fork for eating cakes, and I'm serving some desserts."
"Okay sir."
While Qian Wen and Gu Jia were chatting, Aunt Zhang brought over a plate of dessert.
"Dessert for Gu Jia." Qian Wen pointed at Gu Jia's table and said.
"No need for Qian Wen." Gu Jia said hurriedly.
Aunt Zhang placed the cake plate and fork in front of Qian Wen, and then placed the dessert in front of Gu Jia.
"You don't have to be so polite. You should also try my desserts. I asked my personal pastry chef to make them."
"Thank you." Gu Jia thanked him.
Gu Jia was about to pick up the dessert in front of him when he suddenly saw a painting with seven or eight darts stuck on the wall.
Gu Jia blinked and looked carefully. Isn't this Mrs. Wang's water lily? Why are there darts stuck on it?
"Gu Jia~Gu Jia~" Qian Wen called Gu Jia several times before Gu Jia reacted.
"What's wrong? You suddenly lost your mind?" Qian Wen said after taking a bite of cake.
Gu Jia pointed at the painting behind Qian Wen.
"Is that Mrs. Wang's water lily?" Gu Jia asked.
Qian Wen turned his head and looked at the painting behind him that had just been stabbed with seven or eight darts, and then continued to eat the cake in front of him.
"Well, it's Mrs. Wang's water lily belonging to Van Gogh." Qian Wen said nonchalantly.
Gu Jia felt a little embarrassed when Qian Wen said they were water lilies from Van Gogh's family. She didn't know whether she should tell Qian Wen that the water lilies were painted by Monet, not Van Gogh.
I remember when she first came to Mrs. Wang’s house and saw the world-famous painting that Mrs. Wang bought, she couldn’t help but ask:
"Is this...an authentic work?"
Mrs. Wang answered naturally and slightly scornfully that the price would be lower if she bought a fake. This was Van Gogh's "Water Lilies" that she bought at an auction.
At first she was still shocked that the world of rich people was so wonderful, but when she heard the words "Van Gogh's Water Lilies", she suddenly became unnatural.
Because she knew that Mrs. Wang had made a very common sense mistake. The most famous painting by Van Gogh was sunflowers, and the "Water Lilies" was a work by Monet.
Just now, Mr. Qian also mentioned that it was Van Gogh’s water lilies. Do all rich people have the same problems?
Gu Jia is confused?
"Don't look at me like that. I know the water lilies were painted by Monet." Qian Wen pointed at the painting behind him with a fork and said helplessly.
"Then you just..."
"Didn't I say that Mrs. Wang's water lilies of Van Gogh's family are not my Qian Wen's water lilies of Monet's."
"Oh..." Gu Jia suddenly realized that she was a little distracted. She took a bite of the dessert in embarrassment to cover up her embarrassment.
Gu Jia's eyes lit up after taking a bite of the dessert. This dessert was so delicious.
Gu Jia took another bite, and Qian Wen, who was sitting opposite her, smiled slightly.
His personal pastry chef is no ordinary person, he is a strange chef hired by Wu Fangtian.
"Qian Wen, why are there darts on this pair of water lilies?" Gu Jia asked curiously.
"Oh, my arm was a little numb just now, so I threw a few darts to activate the blood." Qian Wen put down the fork he was eating the cake with and took a sip of tea.
"Ah." Gu Jia didn't expect it to be like this.
"Qian Wen, this is a bit..." Gu Jia didn't know what to say. After all, it belonged to someone else. Although the two of them had a good relationship, it was not good for her to talk too much. It was a pity that this world-famous painting was destroyed.
Qian Wen looked at Gu Jia's expression and knew what she meant.
"Fake~"
"Ah~" Gu Jia was stunned and did not react.
"This painting is fake, otherwise Mrs. Wang would have taken it away, and I wouldn't be able to throw darts!"
When Gu Jia heard Qian Wen's words, she suddenly realized that if it were an authentic work, who would throw it away casually?
A painting by Monet is much more expensive than this apartment.
Thinking of this, Gu Jia's impression of Mrs. Wang was a little lower. It turned out that Mrs. Wang could also slap her in the face and pretend to be fat.
"It's a pity. Even if it's fake, this painting is still worth a lot of money." Gu Jia looked at the painting on the wall, still feeling a little regretful.
"It's no pity, my painting is coming soon." Qian Wen said.
After hearing Qian Wen's words, Gu Jia was a little curious and wanted to know what paintings such a rich man would hang in the living room.
"Qian Wen, you..." Gu Jiagang was about to ask Qian Wen what paintings he bought.
Wang Yun and Wei Yongxing walked out of the study, and Wang Yun whispered something in Qian Wen's ear.
Seeing this, Gu Jia thought they had something to talk about and wanted to leave.
"Gu Jia, my painting has arrived, come take a look with me."
Gu Jia, who was about to say goodbye, heard this and couldn't hold back his curiosity. He wanted to see what kind of painting it was, so he happily accepted it.
"You two go pick up the painting, be careful." Qian Wen ordered.
"Okay, boss." Wang Yun and Wei Yongxing responded.
Watching the two people go out, Qian Wen and Gu Jia continued to drink tea and wait.
After waiting for a while, the door opened and a bunch of people came in.
Walking at the front were Wang Yun and Wei Yongxing.
In the middle were four fully armed security guards with electric batons and a middle-aged man in a suit.
Finally, there are two people in the property, a man and a woman.
Gu Jia was a little shocked when she saw this scene and stood up unconsciously.
Zhong Xiaoqin, the property manager of Junyue Mansion who was following at the end, saw Gu Jia and exclaimed, "Gu Gu, why are you here?"
"Xiaoqin?" Gu Jia also saw Zhong Xiaoqin.
Qian Wen ignored the meeting between the two sisters, but looked at the middle-aged man following the security personnel.
"Mr. Qian, this is a water lily painting from Monet's water lily series that you bought at our auction house.
Please check it, if there is no problem, we will deliver it."
Hearing this, Qian Wen looked at Wang Yun.
"Boss, the appraiser has arrived downstairs and is on his way here." Wang Yun said hurriedly when he saw his boss looking at him.
"Wait a minute, my appraiser will be here soon," Qian Wen said.
"Okay, Mr. Qian." The person in charge of the auction house responded.
The four security guards escorting the water lilies still stood around the painting, preventing anyone from getting close.
"Gu Gu, did you hear that? They were escorting Monet's water lilies!" Zhong Xiaoqin whispered in Gu Jia's ear.
Gu Jia nodded and said she heard it too. She didn't expect that Qian Wen also bought water lilies.
With such a big battle, will Mr. Qian’s water lilies be real?
After experiencing what happened to Mrs. Wang, Gu Jia was a little unsure of the paintings Qian Wen bought.
Zhong Xiaoyang, who came up next to him, glanced disdainfully.
"Xiaoqin, did you come up because you knew Qian Wen bought Monet's painting 'Water Lilies'?" Gu Jia turned to look at Zhong Xiaoqin and asked.
"No, Gu Gu, our property management doesn't know what happened. It's just that Qian Wen called our property management this morning and said that a car from the auction house would enter the community and asked our community security to let it go.
We didn't pay much attention, but unexpectedly, an explosion-proof vehicle and four heavily armed security guards had just entered the community.
Our property manager knew about my relationship with Qian Wen, so he asked me to bring Zhong Xiaoyang to see if there is anything I need help with."
"Do you know when Qian Wen bought this place?" Gu Jia asked curiously.
"I'm not sure, it should have been a month ago. He also moved in recently. The manager asked me to contact the landlord, and I found out that he moved into our Grand Hyatt Residence."
Gu Jia nodded.
Everyone waited for a few minutes before Qian Wen's appraiser arrived.
"Mr. Qian."
"Well, Appraiser Ding, please check this painting. If there is nothing wrong with it, I will sign for it."
The person in charge of the auction house nodded to the security personnel guarding the painting and asked them to get out of the way.
