Originally, Kim Eun-hee had already caught this woman, but no matter how she pressed her, the woman would not open her mouth, or she would say some useless nonsense as soon as she opened her mouth. She had been caught for three days, but nothing came out of her mouth. Useful information, which makes Kim Eun-hee, who used to be in the top 10 in the world, mad.
She was about to find an opportunity to use "heavy punishment" on this woman, but suddenly received a phone call from Sisley. She went out in a hurry, but when she came back, the woman was gone.
Kim Eun-hee's face was dark at the time, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't find this woman, but she vowed that as long as she was given time, she would definitely be able to find this woman, but now, Kim Eun-hee, who is far away in the UK, has no time to come. She was looking for this woman, and she was very at ease with Shen Qinglan, even if she didn't do anything, this woman would not be Shen Qinglan's opponent.
"I've heard the name of Miss Shen for a long time, but it's the first time I've seen you. You are more beautiful than in the photo." "Leng Qingqiu" said with a smile, with a gentle smile and his right hand.
Shen Qinglan glanced at the slender hand in front of her, and instead of shaking it, she said lightly, "Miss Leng is more graceful than expected."
Leng Qingqiu's hand was naturally withdrawn, without the slightest embarrassment. Hearing the words, he smiled, "Listen to Xitong saying that Miss Shen and my manager Daniel know each other?" There was an imperceptible temptation in his tone.
Shen Qinglan's eyes moved slightly, "I've seen it a few times, but I'm not familiar with it."
There was a dim light in Leng Qingqiu's eyes, and the smile on his face was genuine, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen my agent for a long time. I recently participated in a foreign young painter competition, and Daniel participated in the competition instead of me. ."
"Qingqiu, you are too low-key. If it weren't for an accident, we probably wouldn't know each other. I know you don't like high-profile, but occasionally, you have to appear in front of people. At least people should know what you look like. Don't Let some people with ulterior motives do something in your name just because no one knows you." Shen Xitong said, as if planning for a lonely autumn.
"Leng Qingqiu" seems a little helpless, "I was only interested in painting at the beginning, who would have known that my paintings would be accepted by everyone, after all, the audience of my paintings is not wide. I have even been criticized by many people because the content is too dark. ."
"Actually, I didn't mean to not appear in front of people, I just got used to it." Leng Qingqiu added.
Shen Qinglan quietly listened to the two of them chatting, and seemed to be unaware of the obscure and blatant gaze betting on him.
"Sister, you have always liked Qingqiu's paintings before, but now that you see him, why don't you speak?" Shen Xitong seemed to be disgusted by Shen Qinglan's unrelated appearance, so he spoke.
Hearing this, Leng Qingqiu glanced at Shen Qinglan with great interest, "Does Miss Shen like my paintings too?"
Shen Qinglan raised her eyes, and the corner of her mouth twitched lightly, "It's just an occasional arty." Turning her eyes, she said again, "Miss Leng's recent paintings have changed a bit in style."
"Leng Qingqiu" smiled lightly, "Yes, I have encountered some things recently, and even my mood has changed, especially when I met a person who made me feel that there is not only night in this world, but also dawn and rising sun."
A hint of shyness and warmth appeared in her eyes at the right time, like a girl who was in love.
"I don't know who has such a charm to make Miss Leng so concerned." Shen Qinglan asked curiously, but her heart kept sinking. This fake Leng Qingqiu seemed to know too much about Leng Qingqiu.
"Leng Qingqiu" had a warm smile on his face, "A very warm person, seeing him is like seeing the sunshine in winter, Miss Shen probably doesn't know, the name of the work I asked Daniel to send to the exhibition is called " Redemption", he is my redemption."
No one saw the coldness in Shen Qinglan's eyes when he heard the word "salvation", and he didn't even notice the "cold autumn" that had been focusing on her.
The coldness disappeared too quickly, and Shen Qinglan's face did not show the slightest emotional fluctuations, "It seems that this person is very lucky to be treated with such tenderness as Miss Leng."
Who knows, "Leng Qingqiu" shook his head, "Actually, it was my luck to meet him."
The conversation between the two seemed to be normal, but for some reason, Shen Xitong just felt very weird, and she couldn't tell where the weirdness came from.
Shen Qinglan's brows and eyes were calm, she just glanced at her lightly, and stopped talking. This woman not only knew the style of her paintings, but also knew a lot about her affairs, such an uncontrollable feeling... Shen Qinglan lowered her eyes , his eyes seemed unhappy.
"Leng Qingqiu" smiled without saying a word, looking at Shen Qinglan's eyes in addition to curiosity, but also disdain, this is an ordinary girl, she can't figure out why that person wants her to approach her, even with a name called Leng Qingqiu the name of the painter.
Although she didn't know the purpose of that person asking her to do this, but as that person's most loyal subordinate, he must have done his best in his request, if it wasn't for the purpose of imitating the style of Leng Qingqiu and not letting himself leak in front of others, She has already appeared in front of people.
"Qinglan, Xitong, it's time to eat." Sister Song came over and said.
Shen Qinglan got up, "I'm going to ask the grandpas to come out for dinner." Then he went upstairs.
Shen Xitong's face was a little embarrassed. Her family's attitude towards the guests was so indifferent, which made her face a little uncomfortable. She looked at Leng Qingqiu and saw that there was no dissatisfaction on her face, her expression was leisurely, and her heart was slightly relieved.
"Qingqiu, my sister has such a personality, she has always been like this, don't take it to heart." Shen Xitong opened his mouth with a smile on his face, seemingly helpless, like someone who knows her sister's willfulness but can't do anything about it. elder sister.
Leng Qingqiu smiled gently, and the words he said were very understanding, "I came here to take the liberty."
Shen Xitong felt more and more that Shen Qinglan couldn't match the self-cultivation of becoming a well-known painter in this lonely autumn.
Qinglan went upstairs to talk to the two old men first, and then came to the door of her parents' room. She raised her hand to knock on the door, but faintly heard a weak... crying
Her hand gently knocked on the door twice, the voice in the door immediately quieted down, Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows, really was her mother crying
"Mom, it's time to eat." Shen Qinglan said.
For a long time, I didn't hear footsteps in the door, but only heard Chu Yunrong's hoarse voice, "Mom is a little uncomfortable, so I won't go in to eat. Please say sorry to Miss Leng for me."
Shen Qinglan was silent, then replied "OK" and turned to leave.
Listening to the sound of footsteps and walking away, Chu Yunrong locked the box and carefully placed it under the bed. She sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her red and swollen eyes in the mirror, and her makeup that was already smudged. ,in silence.
**
In the restaurant, the two old men had already taken their seats, and Shen Xitong and Leng Qingqiu had also sat down. Seeing Shen Qinglan coming alone, Shen Xitong looked behind her, but did not see Chu Yunrong, and frowned slightly, "Sister, where's mom? Didn't you call your mother over for dinner?"
Her tone was a little dissatisfied and accusatory, and she looked at Shen Qinglan with disapproval for her ignorance.
Shen Qinglan didn't look at her playful behavior, but looked at the old man Shen, "Grandpa, Mom said she was feeling a little sick, so she didn't come down to eat, I asked Sister Song to cook some porridge for Mom, you guys Eat first."
The old man Shen nodded and asked with concern, "Your mother is not feeling well, do you want a doctor to come and see?"
"No, Mom is probably just a little tired. It's okay. I'll go up and see later."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Shen Xitong's face was a little hot, "Grandpa, I'd better go see my mother, probably because of several consecutive concerts some time ago, my mother was exhausted."
As he was about to stand up, the old man Shen waved his hand, "Okay, let's all sit down, the guests are still there." Then he looked at Leng Qingqiu, "I made you laugh."
Leng Qingqiu smiled, "Old man is polite, it's not the right time for Qingqiu to come."
Shen Qinglan went to the kitchen first, and told Sister-in-law Song to let her cook some of Chu Yunrong's favorite lotus seed porridge before returning to the restaurant and sitting down beside Mr. Fu.
"Grandpa, you have a stomach upset recently. Eat less meat." Seeing that Mr. Fu ate three pieces of braised pork in a row, Shen Qinglan said lightly. Mr. Fu's hand holding the chopsticks froze, and he looked at Shen Qinglan as if he was lying. , "Girl Qinglan, I just ate a piece."
Shen Qinglan didn't speak, just looked at Mr. Fu, and after a while, Mr. Fu's chopsticks were withdrawn from the braised pork, "Okay, okay, I won't eat it, alas, I'm really old, even eating a There is no freedom of things."
"You old man, talking nonsense, as if Lanlan abused you, let outsiders hear what you think." Old Shen stared, dissatisfied with his old friend's open mouth.
Only then did Mr. Fu remember that there was an outsider on the table, and his face was a little embarrassed, "Old Shen, don't talk nonsense, why is my girl Qinglan abusing me? She doesn't know how good she is to me."
"Leng Qingqiu" looked at this scene with cold eyes, thoughtfully, and then asked Shen Xitong in a low voice, "Isn't your sister's surname Shen? Why do you call the old man of the Fu family 'Grandpa'?"
Although it was said to be a low voice, her voice was not low, and everyone on the table heard it. Mr. Shen's face was a little stinky, but Mr. Fu, on the other hand, had a smile on his face, "Girl Qinglan is my granddaughter-in-law, Of course she wants to call my grandpa."
This time, "Leng Qingqiu" was really surprised that Shen Qinglan was married
"Miss Shen is already married at such a young age?"
The Shen family and the Fu family are not ordinary families. Logically, if these two families are for the good of Qin Jin, it is impossible that there will be no rumors in the capital.
In fact, it's not that there is no rumors in the capital. In the middle of July, there were rumors in the capital that the old man of the Fu family wanted Miss Shen to be his granddaughter-in-law. Later, Fu Hengyi appeared at Grandma Shen's funeral again. Following the busy schedule, these were all signs.
It's just that "Leng Qingqiu" was busy imitating the style of Shen Qinglan's paintings, using brushstrokes, and investigating the relationship between the family members, but I didn't have time to pay attention to these gossip around, and it's normal to not know now.
When the relationship between Shen Qinglan and Fu Hengyi was mentioned again, Shen Xitong's face was not very good-looking, but it was Mr. Fu who said this, how could she have the courage to say anything.
"Just got the certificate. My sister and Heng Yi didn't have a wedding." Shen Xitong said, as if they didn't get married as long as they said they didn't have a wedding.
"Leng Qingqiu" is clear, it turned out to be like this, no wonder no one in the capital knew about it.
"Miss Shen didn't know if I had the honor to attend your wedding when she got married?" "Leng Qingqiu" looked at Shen Qinglan and smiled softly, "I have already bought a house in the capital, and I will settle in the capital in the future, I don't have any friends here, and if I want to have more contact with Miss Shen in the future, will Miss Shen feel that I am abrupt?"
Shen Qinglan's mouth twitched slightly, and her red lips parted lightly, "Of course not." It happened that she also wanted to know what this person wanted to do, or what the person behind her wanted to do.
Don't ask Shen Qinglan why she knew there was someone behind the person in front of her. This is an intuition, and her intuition has always been accurate and has saved her life many times.
"Leng Qingqiu" seems to be gentle and not good at talking, but she is actually very talkative and has a good conversation with the two old men. No matter what topic she talks about, she can pick up two sentences, and she can also express her own opinions.
When talking with the two old men, she did not forget to talk to Shen Qinglan and Shen Xitong from time to time to ensure that everyone on the table would not be left out. Instead, Shen Qinglan and Shen Xitong became foils.
She is really a woman with long sleeves and good dancing, Shen Qinglan thought lightly.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to know a lot of things at such a young age." Mr. Fu seemed very happy, but out of the corner of his eyes he looked at Shen Qinglan. Seeing that she didn't notice him, he stretched out his chopsticks to the braised pork.
"Grandpa." Shen Qinglan said suddenly, Old Man Fu's hand trembled slightly, and when he turned his head, he saw Shen Qinglan looking at him with a smile but not a smile. Chopsticks greens.
Mr. Shen looked amused.
In fact, Shen Qinglan was also helpless. She just took the old man for a physical examination a few days ago, and his blood lipids were a little high. The doctor suggested that he should eat less meat recently, otherwise Shen Qinglan would not stare at the old man from time to time, and the old man obviously knew the inside story.
On the contrary, it was Shen Xitong, who didn't seem to see Shen Qinglan treating Mr. Fu like this, so he picked up the chopsticks and gave the old man a piece of braised pork, "Grandpa Fu, your favorite braised pork, Mrs. Song made it very well, you should eat more. ."
Then he looked at Shen Qinglan and said with a smile, "Sister, Grandpa Fu likes to eat braised pork."
Old Man Fu chuckled, "It's useless when you're old, you can't stand eating one more piece of meat." The piece of meat in the bowl didn't move from beginning to end.
This is to explain and to speak for Shen Qinglan, but after hearing this, Shen Xitong's face turned ugly. It was not obvious that he was meddling with his own business.
Glancing at Shen Qinglan secretly, she made Shen Qinglan laugh.
"Mr. Fu looks very healthy and strong. When he is old, he is stronger." Seeing that the atmosphere on the table was stagnant for a moment, "Leng Qingqiu" said with a smile.
Shen Qinglan glanced at her and said that she was right with long sleeves and good dance. It's a pity that such a woman is a painter.
It's just that this woman's purpose seems to be herself? Shen Qinglan made a bold guess after receiving the obscure gaze from "Leng Qingqiu" once again.
After lunch, "Leng Qingqiu" didn't stay at Shen's house much. Before leaving, he took out something similar to an invitation letter and handed it to Shen Xitong, "This is the invitation letter for my art exhibition after the year. Appreciate your face."
Shen Xitong took it with a smile, because Leng Qingqiu got along well with the two old men, which gave Shen Xitong a sense of accomplishment, "Qingqiu, don't worry, we will definitely participate when the time comes."
He sent "Leng Qingqiu" out. When Shen Xitong came back, he held the invitation letters in his hand, looked at Shen Qinglan with smug eyes, and handed one of them to Shen Qinglan, "Sister, this one is for you."
Shen Qinglan took the invitation and opened it to take a look. Sure enough, the date above was the date she had just agreed with Daniel two days ago.
Unexpectedly, she just agreed on this side, and even the invitation letter was prepared there.
This kind of feeling made Shen Qinglan feel that she was a transparent person in the eyes of the other party, and her every move was under the eyes of the other party, which made her very unhappy.
She looked down at the invitation letter in her hand, and the emotions in her eyes were inexplicable.
**
Upstairs, Sister Song knocked on the door of Chu Yunrong and Shen Qian. Chu Yunrong opened the door. When she saw Sister Song, she naturally saw the tray in his hand. On the tray was a bowl of lotus seed porridge and a few more dishes. side dishes.
Sister Song glanced at Chu Yunrong, but seeing that her face was not good-looking, she was pale, and she said, "Yunrong, Qinglan said that you are not feeling well and have no appetite, let me cook some lotus seed porridge that you like, now Do you have any appetite, do you want to eat some?"
Chu Yunrong's face was a little surprised, "What did Qinglan say?"
Sister-in-law Song nodded, "Well, what she ordered before eating was that the lotus seed porridge was time-consuming, so I brought it to you now. Do you want to eat it now?"
In fact, Chu Yunrong doesn't have any appetite right now, just looking at the bowl of porridge in front of her, she still nodded and took it, "Give it to me."
"I see that your face is not good. Would you like to call the doctor and ask the doctor to come and take a look?" Sister Song asked again before leaving.
"No need, I was probably tired some time ago, and it broke out today. I'll just sleep, don't call the doctor, it's a big deal."
Sister-in-law Song didn't say anything anymore and left, but before she left, she glanced at Chu Yunrong's back again, holding a tray, looking cautiously.
Sister-in-law Song has been in the Shen family for decades. She was already in the Shen family before Chu Yunrong married. She naturally knew that Chu Yunrong loved her daughter when Shen Qinglan was a child. When Shen Qinglan was lost, Chu Yunrong almost went crazy.
It's just that she is a person who loves her daughter so much, but after retrieving her biological daughter, she is always partial to her adopted daughter. Sister-in-law Song is also a mother herself. She expressed that she could not understand Chu Yunrong's actions.
If it was her, I am afraid she would not be able to transfer her love for her biological daughter to her adopted daughter, and she would not even be able to raise other people's children as her own.
Shaking her head, Sister-in-law Song went downstairs. She happened to meet Shen Xitong who was going upstairs. She turned slightly and let Shen Xitong go over.
