After returning to Tongcheng, Mu Qian seemed to have left all those messy things behind for the time being, and once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to the preparations for the exhibition.
As the new year approaches, everyone seems to be busy with their own affairs, and for a while no one appears in front of Mu Qian anymore.
On the contrary, Lu Yuchuan sent two paintings to Huai'an Painting Hall, saying they were donations.
In fact, the Huai'an Painting Hall is not a charity, but a completely commercial gallery. This kind of donation has nothing to do with the painting hall.
The staff at the painting studio were a little confused for a moment, just waiting for Mu Qian to come back and make up his mind.
When Mu Qian heard that the paintings were sent by Lu Yuchuan, she originally planned to return them intact, but who knew that after opening the paintings, she found two masterpieces from modern times!
Everyone in the painting hall was amazed.
After Mu Qian saw these two paintings, he changed his mind and accepted them as ordered.
After all, with these two collections of paintings, Huai'an Painting Hall's status in the art world will rise to a higher level.
This is what the owner of this painting studio deserves.
Mu Qian accepted the paintings and immediately found a place to hang the two paintings in a conspicuous place for people to view. For a time, they attracted countless visitors to Huai'an Painting Hall.
However, the person who sent these two paintings did not appear for a long time. On the night of the 27th of the year, Mu Qian saw Ye Jinfan outside the painting hall.
Although the Chinese New Year is approaching, the upcoming Masters' Traditional Chinese Painting Exhibition is scheduled to open on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. As the date approaches, there is still a lot of preparation work. Mu Qian has been busy until the evening. When she walked out of the painting hall, she unexpectedly saw a car parked on the roadside.
car.
The car was not turned off, but the window was open on a cold day. There was a person sitting in the passenger seat, his legs resting on the center console, and the hand holding a cigarette resting outside the window. He was obviously lazy.
In an extreme gesture, Mu Qian could see the blue and red blood vessels on that hand that were frozen.
Even so, Ye Jinfan still didn't notice it, his eyes were staring in an unknown direction.
Mu Qian originally wanted to pretend she didn't see anything, but after Ye Jinfan noticed the movement, he quickly saw her, then opened the door and got out of the car.
He was wearing a black suit, his tie was loosened, and his shirt collar was also undone. His hair was slightly messy, his eyes were bloodshot, and he smelled of alcohol. He clearly looked like he had just gotten away from the dinner.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so there are naturally a lot of gatherings and dinners in various circles, not to mention the son-in-law of the Lu family who is going strong.
"It's really rare to see Brother Ye here." Mu Qian smiled and said hello.
Ye Jinfan stared at her, "Where is she?"
When Mu Qian heard this question, she sneered and raised her eyes to look at him, "Brother Ye, how much wine did you drink to come to my place and go crazy?"
After Ye Jinfan and Lu Tang's wedding, Mu Qian had met Ye Jinfan a few times. However, whether on the stage or in private, Ye Jinfan never mentioned Ye Xi to her again. It seemed that he had completely let go of her and forgotten about her.
It's like it's completely clean.
Unexpectedly, he drank too much today and actually came here and asked her this question directly.
"I asked you where she is?" Ye Jinfan seemed to be fed up with Mu Qianxu's condescending attitude, stretched out his hand, pinched Mu Qian's wrist, and said angrily.
Wu Hao could have stopped Ye Jinfan, but Mu Qian raised his hand to stop him, allowing Ye Jinfan to go crazy.
"Want to know?" Mu Qian asked Ye Jinfan with a sneer, "What conditions do you want to exchange with me?"
Ye Jinfan heard this and stared at her for a moment, then suddenly sneered and said: "You think I don't know what you want? Aren't you a righteous reporter who is dedicated to upholding justice? I have more in my hands.
It’s what you want, so what if you tell me where she is and I’ll give it to you?”
"Really?" After hearing what he said, Mu Qian was not very interested, "Tell me about it?"
Ye Jinfan suddenly opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly paused. Then, he sneered again and said: "That's not right, you are not just a reporter for justice now, you are also Lu Yuchuan's daughter
!I wonder how a righteous reporter like you would face such a dirty father?"
Mu Qian listened and said slowly: "No matter how I face him, guess what you said has reached his ears, how should you face him?"
Ye Jinfan laughed out loud again, "Okay, okay, okay... she is indeed Lu Yuchuan's daughter, amazing..."
"Yes." Mu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him, "It seems that this incident really stimulated Brother Ye a lot. Is he really angry?"
Ye Jinfan gritted his teeth suddenly.
Mu Qian, however, was minding his own business and continued: "You have spent so much effort, even giving up the woman and child you love most, and finally become half of the Lu family. You are trying to use the Lu family to deal with the Huo family. You have plotted against everyone."
It’s so vivid, but it never occurred to me that I would be Lu Yuchuan’s daughter, I’m really pissed off!”
Ye Jinfan was probably really angry with her, so he pinched Mu Qian's wrist again.
At this moment, a car suddenly came from a distance, pulled over, and stopped beside the two of them.
The next moment, someone pushed the door open and got out of the car.
Ye Jinfan turned around and saw Huo Jinxi standing behind him.
Huo Jinxi also just returned from the dinner party. He was dressed in a black coat, cold and solemn, with an indifferent face, and was filled with the breath of night.
He got out of the car and was not in a hurry to approach. He just leaned against the car and stared at Ye Jinfan's hand on Mu Qian's wrist with a solemn gaze.
After Ye Jinfan laughed twice, he finally let go of his hand, took a deep breath, and then said: "Qianqian, your luck is really good, really good... But Xixi is different from you, you know
, she has no independent opinions and is not strong. She is stupid and only listens to my words... How can you bear to see her living that kind of life alone in an unfamiliar place? The Chinese New Year is about to come, and she has always liked it the most.
It's so lively, she won't be able to endure it alone in a foreign country..."
"Okay." Unexpectedly, Mu Qian said, "If she tells me that she can't survive, then I will tell you where she is and let you find her, okay? But, guess what,
At what point will she be unable to survive?"
After Mu Qian said this, Ye Jinfan seemed to stiffen slightly.
Mu Qian did not stop any longer and walked straight towards Huo Jinxi.
The two people's car gradually drove away. Ye Jinfan slowly returned to his car, leaned on the car, lowered his head, lit a cigarette for himself again, and started smoking slowly.
In the car leaving, Mu Qian seemed to be a little bit cold. She shivered as she sat in the warm car. Then she stretched out her hand to hug Huo Jinxi, rubbed him in his arms, and felt his body temperature.
It seems to be feeling better.
Huo Jinxi was very pleased with her attitude. After slightly twitching the corners of his lips, he held her cold hand.
Seeing the car driving out of Exhibition Road, Mu Qian muttered: "I don't know how much he drank, and he suddenly came to my place and went crazy..."
"That's not necessarily the case." Huo Jinxi said lightly.
Mu Qian suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him, "What do you mean?"
"Firstly, maybe he was really stimulated by something. Secondly, maybe he did it on purpose."
