Xia Xixi stared blankly at the soliciting employee, and then at Li Quyin. Li Quyin is actually this kind of person...
Looked at by Xia Xixi's black and white eyes, Li Quyin clearly read the thoughts in his heart.
He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but the words were swallowed back into his stomach. At this moment, no matter what he said, he felt like he was trying to cover up.
Annoyed, he turned his head and glanced at the employee next to him. His deep and cold black eyes froze the smile on the employee's face, and he went back to the store awkwardly.
It was already past ten o'clock at night, and there would be couples coming and going in and out of the hotel from time to time. At this time, those people would look suspiciously at the two people standing at the door.
Xia Xixi was thin-skinned, lost in a short while, and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Li Quyin quickly followed.
"Actually, my friend secretly sent the message while I was away." Li Quyin explained.
He was a little guilty, and he frequently glanced at Xia Xixi when he was talking, for fear that Xia Xixi would not believe her.
Xia Xixi believed most of it right away. After all, before coming here, he felt that the information did not conform to Li Quyin's style, which was a bit strange.
But when she thought of being looked at like a monkey when she was standing at the door of the hotel just now, Xia Xixi decided to ignore Li Quyin.
Xia Xixi walked quietly on the street with a cold face.
The cars on the side of the road intertwined with the neon lights of nearby stores, turning into a river of light, blurring Xia Xixi's outline.
"I didn't expect you would really come..." Li Quyin looked at the angry person next to him and tried to explain.
Xia Xixi looked cute when she was angry, her cheeks were puffed up, making people want to poke her.
Xia Xixi paused, so blame him
"I didn't mean that." Li Quyin found himself getting more and more wrong.
He is also very strange. Although he is not usually eloquent, he is at least a person who can speak clearly.
In addition, he is an entertainer, so he has learned a lot in terms of speaking.
But why did he always say what was wrong when he was in front of Xia Xixi
"May I treat you to dessert?" Li Quyin lowered his voice, admitting his mistake sincerely.
Xia Xixi still ignored him, looked ahead, and walked straight up.
Li Quyin noticed with sharp eyes that Xia Xixi's Adam's apple slipped uncontrollably, making him hungry.
Li Quyin couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly said: "I heard that there is a very delicious dessert shop nearby. I originally wanted to bring you here after a while, but since I have come here today, Why don't we try it?"
Xia Xixi flicked her eyelashes lightly, but still ignored her. He is angry, how can an angry person be bought by a mere piece of dessert
"I heard that there are quite a lot of desserts, including chocolate series, cream cakes, national style, and foreign ones. You can try them all next to each other. If you know what you like, next time we will You can come directly to eat what you like." Li Quyin restrained himself from laughing.
"Really?" Xia Xixi turned around hesitantly.
"Um?"
"There are many kinds?" Xia Xixi asked with great difficulty.
If there are many kinds...
"Really, I heard that there are many new products, maybe there are some you haven't tried before." Li Quyin forced a smile and nodded seriously.
Xia Xixi rolled her eyes and said with a serious face, "Don't do this next time, I don't like people playing tricks on me."
Li Quyin immediately assured, "There will never be a next time."
"Okay then!" Xia Xixi let go, for dessert's sake.
Li Quyin hurried to the side to stop the car. He was afraid that if he didn't find something to do, he would not be able to help but laugh out loud.
Xia Xixi would definitely be angry, and maybe ignore him again.
After getting into the car, the two walked away.
Hotel entrance.
Beside the road, inside the temporary parking line, a woman with red nail polish nervously grabbed the phone of the person next to her, "How about it, did you get a picture?"
"Don't worry, I got it." The man driving said, "I'll send it out now. This is big news. The great actor Shen Bailou will meet a mysterious man at night..."
"Are you stupid?" Yi Gupan, who was wearing red nail polish, gave the man an annoyed look, why is he so clueless
The man was puzzled, "Since it is not announced, why are you so eager to secretly take photos?"
"I'm too lazy to tell you, anyway, I'll arrange it, so don't make trouble for me. Remember, no one is allowed to talk about this." Yi Gu Pan stared and threatened.
"Understood, but what are you going to do?"
When Xia Xixi was sent back to the community, her stomach was already bulging.
On the way home, he rubbed his stomach, his eyes narrowed into lines with joy.
The place Li Quyin found is really good.
It's a dessert shop that just opened not long ago. It's not well-known yet, but the dessert chef's craftsmanship is very good, and the desserts they make are exquisite and delicious. .
Xia Xixi licked her sweet lips, thinking about going to eat with Li Quyin a few more times before the restaurant became popular, and she might have to make an appointment in the future.
Just thinking about it, old man Liao appeared from the side.
"Xiao Xia, come here." Old man Liao waved at him.
Xia Xixi rubbed her belly and walked over obediently.
As soon as he reached the door, he saw many people in police uniforms in Old Man Xia's house.
"Is there a result about the smashing of the car?" Xia Xixi asked.
Old man Liao's complexion was not very good, he quickly explained, "It's not that. Something big happened, do you remember that someone asked you to appraise a piece of Tang Dynasty porcelain before?"
Xia Xixi nodded, he had an impression.
Just half a month ago, a collector came to him and asked him to help identify a blue and white porcelain from the early Tang Dynasty.
The artistry, workmanship and appearance of porcelain belong to the upper class, and they are also very well preserved.
In addition, it was because of a small but well-known workshop at that time, and even made imperial porcelain for the emperor's family. And that family has been broken down in contemporary times, which is a masterpiece.
So the vase was of high value in all aspects, and Xia Xixi was also deeply impressed.
"Things are fake." Old man Liao slapped his thigh.
"What?" Xia Xixi was startled, "How is it possible?"
"Are you Xia Xixi?" The police officer in the room came out.
"I am. The thing is fake, how is it possible?" Xia Xixi couldn't accept this possibility.
In their line of work, what they are most afraid of is such an eye-catching thing.
Just once, all the prestige and reputation established in the past were all smashed.
Xia Xixi couldn't accept this possibility, not because he was nervous about his prestige and reputation, but he just couldn't accept that his appraisal was wrong.
Since he has been in the industry for so long, he has never made a mistake.
"The thing is indeed fake. We have already asked experts to identify it. The problem now is that the collector and the seller have called the police, so we must intervene in the investigation." The policeman said.
"You also know that the amount of money involved in this kind of antique is usually very large, and now the estimated price given by other experts has reached tens of millions."
"Such a large amount is not just a simple scam, so please cooperate with our investigation..."
Under the other party's explanation, it took Xia Xixi a long time to finally figure out what happened.
Someone came to Xia Xixi to help appraise the vase before. Xia Xixi did help to appraise it, and asked the people in the meeting to issue a specific appraisal certificate.
After the identification, the original collector changed hands because of a problem in the family property and urgently needed to cash out.
But not long after the item changed hands, when the seller showed it to a friend, the friend found out that the item was fake.
The seller immediately asked someone to do an appraisal, and it was confirmed that the thing was indeed a fake, and it was a very inferior imitation.
After that, the seller found the previous collector, and the two parties had a conflict of opinion and quarreled, so they called the police.
After the police formally intervened in the investigation, they soon found Xia Xixi.
The police have not fully defined the case as a fraud, and are still investigating. But if Xia Xixi did issue a fake testimonial, then he would bear a large part of the responsibility.
The circle will definitely not be able to continue, and there may even be a prison sentence.
After understanding the situation and answering the questions cooperatively, after sending the police away, Xia Xixi received a call from home before she had time to go home.
The Xia family has been in this business for generations, and no one has ever made such a big mistake.
If it really falls into Xia Xixi's hands this time, the reputation accumulated by their ancestors for generations will be completely destroyed.
After Xia Xixi finished talking about the situation, when she returned home, it was already past one o'clock at night.
Lying on the sofa exhausted, Xia Xixi was recalling what happened that day when her phone rang again.
He thought it was someone from his family, but when he opened it, it turned out that it was the entertainment news feed of the video software.
[Shocked, the great actor Shen Bailou Hotel secretly met his lover late at night. It is reported that the woman is the female artist who appeared in his movie some time ago, and the two hugged each other...]
Xia Xixi got annoyed just looking at the word Shen Bailou, and deleted it before he finished reading the content.
He sat up from the sofa, ready to take a shower and rest, but before he put down his phone, he found that there were still a few unread messages.
The message was sent by Li Quyin, after Li Quyin sent him back to the community.
It's just that as soon as he entered the community, old man Liao caught him talking about the appraisal, so he didn't notice.
"Rest early, don't stay up late." Li Quyin.
"I heard that his house will release new products in two days. I have already made a reservation, and I will take you there in two days." Li Quyin.
Xia Xixi licked her sweet lips and was healed.
"good."
"Did you see the news about your brother?" Xia Xixi was full of worries and couldn't sleep.
He didn't hold out hope at all, after all, it was a bit too much, but Li Quyin's reply was almost instant.
"That's fake." Li Quyin was a little anxious.
He didn't want Xia Xixi to misunderstand that he was dating some female artist in a late-night hotel, even if Xia Xixi misunderstood Shen Bailou, that wouldn't work.
Xia Xixi already hated Shen Bailou enough.
"Actually, he has someone he likes, and that person is already his boyfriend." Li Quyin tried to explain.
Xia Xixi was shocked, "Sure enough, he is a scumbag. He has someone he likes, and the other party has dated him, yet he actually cheated on her boyfriend by having a room with another girl behind his back?!"
What new type of garbage is this
Li Quyin suddenly felt like crying.
As soon as this happened, Li Quyin immediately recognized the photo of him and Xia Xixi in front of the hotel.
It's just that the other party is very smart, deliberately blurred the focus, and even made a mosaic. Even if you compare it, you can't see where it is.
The photo didn't capture Xia Xixi's face, only his profile.
From the public's point of view, it is the great actor Shen Bailou who brought his lover into and out of the hotel late at night.
Li Quyin really wanted to tell Xia Xixi that the person in the photo was Xia Xixi herself, but he was not Shen Bailou, but Li Quyin, so it was impossible for him to know about Shen Bailou.
Unless he admits that he is Shen Bailou, which is obviously impossible.
But if he doesn't admit it, how can he prove that it was a misunderstanding
After thinking for a long time but unable to come up with a solution, Li Quyin could only feel wronged, "That's right, Shen Bailou is a piece of trash."
