Chapter 2023
Although Murong Tianjiao was reluctant, she couldn’t tell how much truth there was in Fu Shenyan’s words, so she had to put things to rest for the time being and turned her head to scold her men, “What are you looking at, why don’t you hurry up and move the car!”
“Yes, Miss.”
The bodyguards hurriedly trotted back and moved several cars to the side to make way for a spacious lane.
Chen Yi obediently stepped on the gas and drove the car over.
He left Murong Tianjiao and the others far behind before Shen Yu gave a rare compliment, “Fu Shenyan, you handled this like that just now.”
Fu ShenYan’s face had no expression, he could not tell whether he was happy or sad.
Indeed, after sending Murong Tianjiao away, it didn’t mean that the matter would end here. If the Murong family forced the arrangement of memory awakening treatment for the sake of business, there was no telling what plans they would make for this.
It’s easy to hide from the open gun, but it’s hard to guard against the dark arrow, and there’s always a time when you can’t guard against it.
I reached out and put my hand on the back of Fu Shen Yan’s hand and patted it gently.
When Fu Shen Yan felt my contact, he slowly turned his face to me, and I returned it with a comforting smile, signaling that he didn’t have to worry too much, that we had everything to bear together as a family.
Fu Shen Yan nodded slightly and wrapped my hand in his, and his expression eased.
This small action was seen clearly by Shen Yu from the rearview mirror, immediately is a sour flirtation, “An Xin, do you smell something strange?”
An Xin listened most to her uncle’s words and immediately pouted and sniffed around, not smelling anything, frowning in confusion, “No, where is the strange smell, uncle?”
“How can there be none.” Shen Yu looked at An Xin from the rearview mirror and said in a strange way, “Smell your daddy and mommy, see if there is a sour smell, the sour smell of love!”
An Xin was confused, and really looked at me and Fu Shen Yan, but found that there was still no smell, so she reached out and scratched her little head.
I was helpless and reached out to rub her head, explaining, “Uncle is joking with you, there’s no weird smell.”
“Uncle is lying!” An Xin kicked her legs in chagrin and pointed to the smell of the passenger side, “Uncle is the worst, I’m going to tell my aunt you’re bullying me!”
Shen Yu was anxious, wrapped in his seatbelt and looked back over, narrowing his eyes to tease her, “If you tell, in the future uncle will not have private money to take you to buy princess dresses, do you really want to betray uncle well An Xin?”
“Well ……” An Xin gagged and thought about it, smartly made a concession, “Then okay, I won’t tell my aunt, but uncle has to take me to buy new clothes, and also for my brother!”
“It’s a deal.” Shen Yu agreed with alacrity, and when he finished sticking out his thumb and An Xin poked together to make a deal.
The whole time a big one and a small one were hilarious with jokes, while Fu Shen Yan and I watched in peace.
When we arrived, Murong Zhuan’s gallery was waiting at the front gate at the Rich Man’s Villa in the suburbs.
As soon as the car stopped, he greeted us warmly, “Welcome.”
Seeing that Fu Shen Yan was also there, he called out extraordinarily, “Big brother is here too.”
Fu Shenyan responded indifferently, “Hm.”
I then struck up a conversation, “Younger uncle, An Xin and his uncle are bored at home with them and wanted to come and open their eyes, I don’t think they’ve caused you any trouble.”
“How could I.” Murong Zhuan smiled modestly, “It’s an honour, please come inside.”
With that, he turned around first and led us all the way into the lodge.
I noticed that apart from the Fu family’s car, there were also a dozen or so expensive private cars parked not far away, so I guess there were more than just a few of us guests today.
Chapter 2024
But as expected, when we arrived at the formal gallery, it was already full of high profile guests, and we, with our families in tow, were a bit of a surprise.
Once inside, Murong was pestered by other guests, so we just looked around.
The gallery is in the European architectural style of the last century, with a hollow and roofed lobby, which adds a lot of historical charm to the entire interior of the room through the use of antiquing, and the many paintings hanging on the walls add a sense of unattainable mystery to the atmosphere.
Passing through the centre, Shen Yu stared at the smile of the Mona Lisa on the wall and stopped in his tracks, narrowing his eyes slightly as he speculated, “Do you guess if this is a real painting or a fake?”
“The real one, I guess.” I didn’t even think about it, “Everyone who can come here is rich and famous, and Murong Zhuan’s family is well-off, so he wouldn’t make a fake one to show off.”
“What do you think?” Shen Yu asked Fu Shen Yan again.
“It’s real, or it can be fake.” Fu Shen Yan said indifferently, “The oil painting itself has no value, but it is people’s pursuit that has created the present-day fervour. In a way, attaching the author’s life experience and feelings to the work is a very good marketing tool.”
“I don’t need you to talk to me about business, I’m talking to you about how much of this painting is real or fake.” Shen Yu copied his hands into his pockets and lifted his suit jacket back, suddenly starting to get serious.
Fu Shen Yan hooked up the corners of his mouth and gave a cold laugh, bending over to pick An Xin up while saying carelessly, “There are as many points of truth as there are people who believe.”
After saying that, he took the child to go look at other paintings.
Shen Yu and I were left, after exchanging glances with each other, shaking our shoulders to express our helplessness.
The water in the art business is indeed too deep, just like gambling on stones and stocks, it is a high-risk investment, and it is common to lose your home and money.
But looking at Murong’s high-profile approach, it is clear that he is one of the best in the business, one of the few people who decide the rules of the game, so naturally it is absolutely lucrative.
The Greatest Hits Awards itself was not very attractive to us, and after a few minutes, we had all lost the excitement of just stepping into this hall.
An Xin is so mobile that Fu Shen Yan simply took her outside to the mountain village to see the flowers, birds and fish trees.
Shen Yu was originally with me all the time, but midway through the m came a phone call, and can not disturb the atmosphere of the main hall, so took the phone to the corridor outside.
After standing for a while and being a bit tired, I was about to find a place to rest my feet when Murong Zhuan’s voice coincidentally came over from the side.
“Sister-in-law thinks that the painting depicts high tide, or low tide?”
I froze and stood up straight before I realised he was talking about a painting hanging on the wall in front of me.
The painting had a beautiful mood, the sea, the sun, the waves rising high above, and the artist had painted it from a distant perspective, so at first glance it looked like both high and low tide.
After a moment’s deliberation, I gave my answer, “High tide, the painting obviously depicts the rising sea at sunset, look at the sun, although it is red hot, it is about to be annihilated with the sea horizon.”
The corner of Murong Zhuan’s mouth hung with a faint smile, slightly lowering his eyelids, “I rather think it is the ebbing tide, at sunrise, the seagulls are flying, the tide falls back and returns to its source, one can imagine the magnificence and grandeur afterwards, just like life, one step back and the sea is wide.”
In the end, he is a figure who has been dormant behind the scenes for so many years, and such a simple painting is able to make a double entendre.
According to the meaning of this sentence, does Murong Zhuan want to put things to rest?
