Northern Suburbs Police Station.
Shi Yunnan and Yuan Rui finished their investigation records respectively, and ran into each other as soon as they went out.
"Yuan Rui."
Shi Yunnan called him and stepped forward to thank him, "I was in the store just now, thank you for your help."
In any case, today's 'extortion', the other party really stood in his camp to help a lot, out of malice.
"..."
Yuan Rui heard his thanks, and looked back in surprise, the corners of his mouth raised rapidly, and then he became his usual attitude.
"Who wants you to thank you? I'm not helping you."
Yuan Rui looked Shi Yunnan up and down and snorted, "If you really broke the boss's jade carving, I would be the first to yell at you to make you cry, but it's a pity that the boss didn't have a good heart, I, I just don't see it. Just go down."
As the saying goes, virtue is like jade.
Selling bad jade pit people is not a good thing!
Shi Yunnan observed Yuan Rui without a trace, and his impression was not as bad as it was at first.
Recalling the first meeting in a nightclub, Yuan Rui was speaking for Xie Keyue from the perspective of a 'friend', but he didn't do anything small, and he didn't have any vicious thoughts, and it was also in line with the rules of the nightclub if he was just drinking and playing for money. .
Shi Yunnan 'set a trap' deliberately lost dozens of glasses of spirits and did not drink, and secretly stopped Fu Ziyu from helping him drink. As a result, Yuan Rui couldn't stand it any longer, and called Fu Ziyu 'dishonest'.
We met for the second time in a nightclub last night. After the drunk Yuan Rui bumped into Wen Yibei, he seemed to want to apologize at first
It was only later that he saw Shi Yunnan, and he temporarily changed back to his brother-pulling attitude, but in the end, before leaving the police station, he still apologized seriously to Wen Yibei.
Not to mention today's coming out to help, instead of adding fuel to the fire of destroying the Three Views, but instead helping to speak for the 'truth'.
Although it is said that things gather people and divide them into groups, compared to Xie Keyue's practice of doing one set in person and one behind the scenes, Yuan Rui can indeed be regarded as the unity of words and deeds.
To your friends unconditionally, you will apologize if you do something wrong, and you will be injustice when you meet someone who is cheating.
Yuan Rui's starting point for doing things is to stand on the basis of 'believing himself to be right'. He didn't get to the point of heinousness. At most, his temper was a bit rushed. road.
"How did you and Xie Keyue meet?" Shi Yunan asked.
"none of your business?"
Yuan Rui suddenly raised his vigilance and couldn't help speaking for Xie Keyue, "But Yue is good, why are you always on guard against him, afraid that he will steal your property? Besides, aren't your grandfather and your father right? Are you all right? But the more you are in Shi's house... "
Shi Yunnan was angry and funny, "Xie Keyue told you that?"
"what?"
Yuan Rui was stunned.
"Xie Keyue and I, one was thrown abroad like garbage and left unattended, and the other was kept in Shi's house like a treasure and cultivated carefully. I don't go back to China all the year round, and once I returned to China, I was forced to marry in business, what do you think? Is this what Xie Keyue said, 'The Shi family treats me well'?"
"..."
Yuan Rui was stuck, and his face was a little hesitant.
Why is this exactly the opposite of what Xie Keyue said
Yuan Rui is not a person who likes to snoop on the privacy of wealthy families, and always feels that he does not respect others like that.
His initial influence on Shi Yunnan all stemmed from Xie Keyue's dictation. Later, the first time the two sides met in a nightclub, the friction was not friendly, which created a 'worse' impression.
Shi Yunnan didn't plan to forcibly break Yuan Rui's idea back, and also believed that making friends is a personal freedom, "Forget it, whatever you want, in short, thank you for today's affairs."
Yuan Rui lifted the sunglasses up and muttered, "I said no thanks, it sounds awkward."
Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows and took two steps forward.
"I say… "
Yuan Rui hesitated, and glanced at Shi Yunnan secretly, "You want to buy jade to go to Yuan's, don't choose the real century-old shop, go to some messy black shop, dare to come if you don't understand anything. In the jade market, sooner or later if you have money, you will be wiped out."
Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows, smiled and said nothing.
He finally discovered that the young master Yuan Rui's temper was really arrogant.
This was obviously meant to remind him 'don't be fooled again', but he had to say it in a tone of 'you will be fooled to be fooled', just pretending to be kind.
The two walked out of the police station one after the other, and immediately saw a figure at the door.
Seeing the two of them, Lu Zhaoan came up, "Mr. Shi, did the transcript go well?"
"Mr. Lu, why are you still here?" Shi Yunan replied, and couldn't help but move his gaze to Yuan Rui.
Yuan Rui's eyes sank, he put on his sunglasses again, and said, "Let's go, I've spent an afternoon here, it's boring."
After he finished speaking, he stepped forward and wanted to bypass the road, Zhao An.
In the next second, Lu Zhaoan grabbed his wrist, "Where are you going?"
"Lu Zhaoan, can you manage it? Isn't it enough for the Yuan family and my dad to have your precious apprentice? You are the cloud in the sky, and I am the mud in the ground. You have to go back and set off your excellence, don't you?"
Yuan Rui pulled Lu Zhao'an's hand away hard, as if he didn't want to be laughed at by Shi Yunnan.
Shi Yunnan watched the show silently and did not move his legs in a hurry.
But the other party obviously didn't give him this chance, and he slipped away quickly after Lu Zhaoan.
Lu Zhaoan stared at his back, a hint of helplessness was mixed in his always calm expression, and he quickly hid it again.
He focused his attention on Shi Yunnan again and expressed his apology in an official tone, "Mr. Shi, this situation happened today, I apologize to you on behalf of one of the market managers."
"I will communicate with the relevant departments of Boss Chen's shop and suspend the closure of the shop during the police investigation."
"Look, do you need additional compensation or an apology? As long as it doesn't violate market regulations, I..."
"Do not bother."
Shi Yunnan glanced at the time, it was less than four o'clock.
He remembered Yuan Rui's inconsistent exhortation just now, and Lu Zhaoan's identity, and asked, "If Mr. Lu is convenient, can I trouble you to take me to Yuanji to choose a decent jade carving? There are elderly people at home. It's my 80th birthday, and I haven't found the right one yet."
Lu Zhaoan readily agreed, "Of course."
The Beijiao Police Station was not far from the Linglong Jade Market, so the two of them reached an agreement and simply walked back.
Shi Yunnan couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked politely, "Mr. Lu is Yuan Rui's brother?"
Lu Zhaoan replied, "Well, my master Yuan Puguang is also Yuan Rui's father."
He probably remembered what happened last night, and replied supplementally, "Although Xiao Rui has a strong temperament, he is not bad at heart. If he has anything wrong with Mr. Shi before, please bear with me."
Shi Yunnan shook his head with a smile, not caring about that matter at all, "You two are brothers? Mr. Lu has been speaking for Yuan Rui, but I think he seems to have a conflict with you?"
Lu Zhaoan was silent, but there was a hint of helplessness on his brows, "My mother was in bad shape in her early years, and she was married to Master for many years and could not have a son and a half daughter. Later, Master chose me from the welfare home..."
Yuan Puguang has dealt with jade in all dynasties, and Yuan Puguang himself is a famous jade carving master in the industry.
Although he has no heirs, he hopes that someone can inherit his mantle. This is the reason why Lu Zhaoan was originally chosen. Coincidentally, just as the couple brought Lu Zhaoan, who was less than six years old, home, Mrs. Yuan unexpectedly found out that she was pregnant.
"Master only got such a precious son when he was in his 40s. While he is happy, he naturally has high expectations for him."
Jade is moisturizing.
However, Yuan Puguang chose such a word 'sharp' because he hoped that Yuan Rui would be unbeatable in this industry.
This matter is not a secret, and Lu Zhaoan did not hide it from Shi Yunnan, "Master is strict with Xiao Rui, and his mother spoils him in every possible way, which has created Xiao Rui's character today."
Shi Yunnan probably understood when he heard this.
The natural son's talent in jade is limited, but the adopted apprentice is a first-class good material.
Probably Yuan Puguang also attacked Yuan Rui when he praised Lu Zhaoan, or he didn't forget to say something to raise Lu Zhaoan when he criticized Yuan Rui.
Yuan Rui can be regarded as an old man, and his temper is spoiled by his mother and other elders, but he is not valued by his father.
Over time, the relationship between fellow apprentices and brothers with Lu Zhaoan and Yuan Rui became like this.
"I'm only helping Master handle the jade business. I won't take anything that should belong to Xiao Rui, but Xiao Rui's temperament is not suitable for the traditional jade carving industry..."
Lu Zhaoan rubbed the thick calluses on his hands, thinking of something, and his thoughts were a little dignified.
When Yuan Rui just graduated from university, he said that he hated jade carvings, and he never wanted to touch them again in this life.
But actually
The jade pendant that was accidentally broken in the fight last night is the only work Yuan Puguang has praised Yuan Rui. The latter has been wearing it carefully, and even has red eyes because of it. This is not a dislike.
It's just that in this industry, likes can't be a meal, and in today's market, talent can't be a meal.
Lu Zhaoan thought very clearly that whether it was for his mentor, or for Yuan Rui, the nominal 'junior', he had to find a new way out for the declining Yuan's jade.
Shi Yunnan did not answer the call, nor did he overly inquire about the privacy of others.
However, he remembered that Yuan Rui's ending in the dream was not bad. After all, he was the second male lead of Xie Keyue's 'male lead' camp. Xie Keyue still had a bit of a true friend's heart for him.
It's just that the current Shi Yunnan won't give Xie Keyue any chance to come back with arrogance. I wonder if Yuan Rui's ending will change
…
At half past five in the afternoon, Shi Yunan returned to Luo's house.
Seeing that he was holding a thick box, the housekeeper Qin Bo came over and gave him a hand, "Second Master Shi, you are finally back! What did you buy? We didn't answer your call, and the owner planned to go to the jade market to find you in person. already."
The housekeeper Qin Bo knew that Shi Yunnan went to the jade market in the afternoon.
"Luo Lingsheng is back?"
A smile appeared on Shi Yunnan's face unconsciously, and he quickly instructed Uncle Qin to handle the box gently.
As soon as the two put down the box, the elevator door nearby opened, the little goldfish walked in front, and Luo Lingsheng followed.
"Little uncle!" The little goldfish immediately clinged to it.
Shi Yunnan rubbed his little head, then turned his gaze to Luo Lingsheng on the wheelchair, and said with a smile, "Come and see the good things I bought."
Luo Lingsheng approached silently, "Why are you thinking of going to the jade market?"
"Mr. Wen's birthday next Tuesday, choose a gift for him."
Shi Yunnan briefly explained, and opened the box for everyone to see—
White jade double dragon bottle.
The high-level fire dragon is engraved and hovered, and the low-level water dragon has a relief bottom, and the connection design of one end and one end is extremely appropriate.
The most ingenious thing is that the center of this piece of Hetian white jade is stained with a bit of variegated color, but the jade carver carved this variegated color into a dragon ball, on which the word 'shou' was carved with very fine brushstrokes.
Not only did it not allow the jade bottle to be discounted, but it was the finishing touch.
"Double dragons hold longevity, eliminate disasters and receive blessings, which is a good moral." The housekeeper Qin Bo praised.
"Wow!"
The little goldfish clearly couldn't appreciate it, so he shook his head, "It's so beautiful."
Shi Yunnan saw where Luo Lingsheng stopped, first rubbed the little goldfish's hair, and skillfully made a half circle around the other's small head, and sat down next to Luo Lingsheng without any concealment.
Perhaps it was getting closer, and Luo Lingsheng's peripheral vision dipped in a smile, "The line and position of this jade bottle should be a good craftsmanship of the jade carving master."
Shi Yunnan mentioned casually, "Well, Lu Zhaoan's sculptures were chosen for me by him."
"..."
The person who met at the police station yesterday and said they didn’t know each other was already familiar enough to buy the sculpture of the other person today
Luo Lingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly and looked over, "Have you met again?"
The word 'again' is particularly depressing.
Shi Yunnan seemed to notice something, but he wasn't sure.
In front of the housekeeper and the little goldfish, he didn't dare to be too provocative, so he could only wink at Luo Lingsheng, pretending to be too obedient, "I happened to meet today, something happened in the jade market this afternoon, and I was almost killed. The black-hearted boss has touched porcelain."
Shi Yunnan repeated what he had experienced in the afternoon to Luo Lingsheng and others.
At the end, only the little goldfish adored and applauded the venue vigorously, "Little uncle is amazing! All the bad guys have been arrested in the police station!"
Shi Yunnan couldn't help pinching the little goldfish's little milk fat, and accepted the other's compliment without any shyness, "Then you have to remember that if you see a bad person in the future, you will call the police, you know?"
"Ok!"
Luo Lingsheng frowned slightly and asked, "Has anyone been injured?"
Why is this person always 'inviting' luck wherever he goes
Shi Yunnan shook his head, "No."
"It's fine." The housekeeper Qin Bo glanced at the time, "Patriarch, since Second Young Master Shi is back, should I let the kitchen prepare?"
Luo Lingsheng nodded silently.
Seeing this, Shi Yunnan simply stood up, "Uncle Qin, please help me collect this jade bottle first. I'll go upstairs to take a shower and come down and have dinner later."
"OK."
Shi Yunnan took two steps towards the stairs, then turned around and turned back, "I almost forgot, little goldfish, come here, I have something for you."
As soon as the little goldfish heard this, he ran over in a hurry.
Shi Yunnan took out a small kit from his pocket, squatted down and looked at the little goldfish, "Take it apart and have a look, do you like it?"
The little goldfish took out a Hetian jade safety button from the kit. The round and small Hetian jade outlines the wishful auspicious pattern, and then tied it with a black woven round rope, which is generous and beautiful.
"Thank you little uncle! I like it very much!"
The little goldfish's eyes were sparkling, and all of a sudden, he fluttered into Shi Yunnan's arms, so happy.
"You're welcome, Yu can keep people safe, and our little goldfish will be healthy."
"Well! I'll take it, little uncle."
Shi Yunnan's eyes circled around the little goldfish, met Luo Lingsheng's gaze, and the smile on his lips widened, "I'll take a shower first, and I'll accompany you to dinner later."
"good."
After Shi Yunan disappeared at the corner of the stairs, the little goldfish held the jade pendant and happily ran back to Luo Lingsheng and the housekeeper.
He fondly stroked the round jade ornament, but couldn't help showing off the child's temperament and Luo Lingsheng, "Uncle! Does it look good? My uncle gave me a gift!"
"..."
Luo Lingsheng, who had received nothing, fell silent.
He looked at his little nephew who got the precious jade pendant from Shi Yunnan, and felt sour for no reason.
But the little goldfish continued to flaunt, "Uncle, does it look good? It means that little uncle likes me the most!"
… like you the most
Luo Lingsheng pushed his glasses, and for the first time ignored his nephew's question, and controlled the wheelchair to walk toward the elevator again.
Before waiting for a response, the little goldfish pouted and turned his gaze to the housekeeper, "Grandpa Qin."
"nice."
The butler's response came quickly.
He looked at the elevator door that had been closed again, couldn't help but smiled and shook his head—
Lord, how old are these people
How could it be my turn to be jealous with my little nephew today
…
Shi Yunnan simply took a shower, changed into plain clothes and went out the door. Seeing that the light at the door of Luo Lingsheng's room was still on, he turned around and picked up the medicine bag in the room and walked over.
- Buttons.
There was a knock on the door, attracting the attention of Luo Lingsheng in the house.
Shi Yunnan leaned against the door and lifted the obvious medicine bag in his hand, "Do me a favor, it's a little inconvenient for me to do it myself."
In fact, it wasn't really inconvenient for him, and it was just a small scratch. There was no need to repeat the medicine. He just wanted to find a reason to be alone with Luo Lingsheng.
Luo Lingsheng didn't pierce his innocuous little excuse, and moved the wheelchair to face him, "Come in."
Shi Yunnan walked in unceremoniously and sat down on the single sofa.
Luo Lingsheng looked at the clumped abrasions on his arm, and only took out an ointment, dipped a little on a cotton swab and smeared it carefully, "... How did you think of giving Jin Yu a jade pendant?"
"I bought it when I thought it looked good."
Shi Yunnan answered casually, and realized that Luo Lingsheng's question was a bit deliberate.
"No." Luo Lingsheng denied it quickly and calmly.
Shi Yunnan hummed lowly, but explained it to himself, "Jade is either suitable for children, for rich wives as accessories, or for middle-aged and elderly people."
"I wanted to buy it for you in the afternoon, but I carefully picked it up and down and couldn't find a suitable one. I was afraid that you would not like it if I bought it casually, so I only brought it for the little goldfish."
It turned out that it wasn't because he didn't think about him, but he was carefully selected, but he didn't find the right one
Luo Lingsheng's subtle jealousy disappeared completely. He threw the cotton swab into the trash can, and the corners of his lips curved, "Well, I see."
The housekeeper hadn't come up to shout, probably because there was still time to leave the meal.
Luo Lingsheng remembered the jade carving gift just now, "Mr. Wen's birthday banquet, do you plan to entrust someone to give the gift, or do you want to go in person?"
"Go in person, I haven't visited Grandpa for a long time." Shi Yunnan's eyes flickered slightly.
Luo Lingsheng knew that the relationship between Shi Yunnan and the Shi family was not good, but he knew very little about his relationship with the Wen family. Hesitant flashed between his eyebrows, but he still asked, "You haven't had much contact with the Wen family all these years?"
"Well, since I was eighteen, I haven't had much contact with you." Shi Yunnan said frankly, "Some things are a long story, but it's not that the old gentleman treats me badly."
Compared with Mr. Shi's ruthless heart as a businessman, Mr. Wen is more refined and elegant as a musician.
During the first two years when Shi Yunnan was thrown abroad, the Shi family deliberately concealed the incident. The Wen family sent people to visit several times, but they only got the sentence "Second Young Master doesn't want to see you".
Mr. Wen believed it to be true, and was disappointed with the little grandson who did not want to be close to him for a while.
Later, he learned that Shi Yunnan was sent out of the country, and he was so angry that he quarreled with Mr. Shi for a while.
Mr. Wen loved Shi Yunan. When he was strong, he flew abroad to meet him in person. He also tried to avoid the Shi family and wanted to bring Shi Yunnan to support him.
However, due to multiple factors at home and abroad, it failed to succeed.
Later, Wen Yibei also went abroad to study music, and Mr. Wen would always give him an extra fee, but in fact, he was handed over to Shi Yunnan.
Every time on vacation, Mr. Wen would ask Wen Yibei to bring Shi Yunnan back to Wen's house to live together.
However, Shi Yunnan and his cousin Wen Chenglang really didn't deal with it.
Wen Chenglang's own musical talent is not strong, so he is always jealous of Wen Yibei, who is better than him. When Shi Yunnan temporarily stayed at Wen's house during the holiday, the other party was sarcastically and secretly mocking the two brothers who were relying on free food.
After the eighteenth birthday party, the friction between the two was too great. Wen Chenglang accidentally pushed Mr. Wen who came to persuade him to the ground, causing the other party to suffer a fracture and be hospitalized.
And ended up at the hospital—
In front of his parents, Wen Chenglang insisted that it was Shi Yunnan's person, and said that he 'wanted to kill the old gentleman on purpose and inherit part of the Wen family's inheritance'.
Aunt Song Zhiqiu went to her own son, and her uncle Wen Yanfeng did not help.
It was obviously the fault of two people, but in the end it became Shi Yunnan's ulterior motives and intentional harm
Shi Yunnan firmly denied what he had not done, but he did feel remorse for Mr. Wen. He quietly accompanied the old gentleman through the dangerous period in the hospital, and then he hadn't stepped into Wen's house for a few years.
First, he didn't want to affect Wen Yibei's situation in the Wen family because of himself; second, he knew that his aunt Song Zhiqiu was very powerful, and he didn't want to make it difficult for Mr. Wen and his uncle; third, he really didn't want to fight for the Wen family. property heart.
"The Wen family is still a little far from the real wealthy family, but it can be regarded as a scholarly family, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing. My mother has always been the daughter who was doted on by the second elder."
It's a pity that the entrusted person who is not a good person has lost the jade early.
This matter became the heart disease of the old couple, and it was also the reason why they loved their two grandchildren very much. Like Mrs. Wen, she was still thinking about her little grandson abroad before she died.
After counting the time, except for the funeral after Mrs. Wen's death, Shi Yunnan really hadn't had contact with the Wen family for a long time.
"Luo Lingsheng, are you free next Tuesday?"
"available."
Luo Lingsheng answered directly, even if he was not free, he would let Qin Jian make time.
Shi Yunnan hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "My grandfather's 80th birthday, do you want to join me?"
Shi Yunnan knew that Luo Lingsheng didn't like to participate in this kind of banquet, but he wanted to give it a try, trying to bring Luo Lingsheng to his few cherished relatives.
He wants to let Mr. Wen know that he has found a good marriage partner. Although the relationship between the two is still only on a piece of paper, how can he catch up with his husband if it is not guaranteed
Luo Lingsheng met his eyes, and asked leisurely, "Mr. Wen's birthday banquet, can I go there? What's the reason?"
reason
It's hard to tell the truth right now.
Shi Yunnan thought about it, and had to express it in a joking way, "In front of outsiders, we have already obtained the certificate, so we have to do enough to act..."
He paused, then got closer, "You have to meet the elders with me, right?"
