Chapter 57 The painting is missing
The taxi driver laughed and said, "It's all the same. We also drive taxis a dangerous profession, so it's not bad to be careful with each other."
Xia Ruoxi is a little relieved at this moment. It is certain that there is something wrong with this taxi driver, but it should not be enough to really want to be cruel to her. Otherwise, her little trick will only make his dog jump over the wall. Who is starting to want to take action against her? There are only a few enemies. Counting them, the most suspicious one is Lian Jingfen.
During this period, she was busy with futures, and because she rarely met Lian Jingfen, she had no chance to bury her old grudges. If it was really what Lian Jingfen wanted to do to her, she also had a reason. Xia Ruoxi frowned deeply. Did she secretly investigate Lian Jingfen's affairs and was detected by Lian Jingfen?
At this moment, Xia Ruoxi remembered that she told Brother Long to investigate Lian Jingfen. At first, a phone call came from there every few days to tell him some of the eyebrows that had been investigated, but there was no contact recently. She has long forgotten about the futures. Remember to call Brother Long tomorrow to see what has been investigated over there? If she has never been able to figure it out, she will stop as soon as possible. If Lian Jingfen notices it, it will make Lian Jingfen defensive first, and I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to her in the future.
When she got home, Xia Ruoxi took a long breath.
There is no doubt that she is being followed now. It's always right to understand the movement of the hands behind her and threaten her. Be careful when you go out in the future.
Mo Shuyi and Qin Yao chatted in the living room and waited for Xia Ruoxi to come back. Seeing Xia Ruoxi come in, Qin Yao stood up and smiled at Xia Ruoxi and said, "Ruoxi, someone just came to see you."
Xia Ruoxi raised her eyebrows and was a little confused. Who came to see her? Oh, who's here?
"Guess?" Qin Yao smiled mysteriously and pointed to the large bouquet of hydrangeas in the vase. "This is for you."
"What about that man?" Xia Ruoxi looked at the vase and was not interested.
"Oh, Mr. Ling just helped send the guest away." Mo Shuyi put down the teacup and said to Xia Ruoxi with a smile. It's Qianqian's cousin, Mr. Xie, who came to your home to see you.
Mr. Xie? Yao Qianqian's cousin? What a coincidence. Unexpectedly, his surname was Xie. Xia Ruoxi's heart trembled. The last time he was at Zhou Zhiqing's house, he missed the opportunity to meet him. Why did he come back to her house? How does he know our home? Xia Ruoxi was puzzled about this.
"Two months, you accidentally drank the juice containing rum at that barbecue restaurant, which Mr. Xie sent you back. That time scared me. I just went out for a while and couldn't see you in the clinic. Later, I knew that it was Mr. Xie who sent you back. Qin Yao still looked lingering with palpitations.
Mo Shuyi smiled and said, "Yes, when you were drunk and randomly pointed out the way, I asked Mr. Xie to take you around almost half of the city. Later, he called me and asked for the address of his home."
Xia Ruoxi listened to the story of Mo Shuyi and Qin Yao, but she couldn't recall any about Mr. Xie's appearance. Have they met before? But she has no concept at all. Oh, yeah." Xia Ruoxi gave a false answer without any feelings and felt that there was nothing to care about. It's just that she felt slightly strange. When she came in outside just now, she didn't see the so-called Mr. Xie, and she didn't even see Ling Yimo. Did Ling Yimo, the send-off, send people to Mars?
"Let's talk. I'm a little tired. I went back to my room to sleep."
"Good night." Qin Yao said.
"Well, good night." Xia Ruoxi asked Fang Yan to put the painting she copied in the study and then go up to the third floor.
All night. The next day, Xia Ruoxi asked Yao Qianqian out and gave her the painting.
"Ah, thank you so much, Ruoxi." Yao Qianqian was very happy to see the painting. But when it unfolded, Yao Qianqian's face changed.
Xia Ruoxi didn't know what had happened and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
"This is not a bamboo picture." Yao Qianqian presented the painting to Xia Ruoxi.
Xia Ruoxi's face also changed at a glance. It was really not the painting she copied, but a landscape painting imitating Qing Dynasty, a fake bought by her father Xia Ze. What's going on? She asked Fang Yan to put the painting in the study yesterday, and Fang Yan helped her take it out this morning. How could it be such a painting?" Sorry, the servant gave me the wrong one. Well, you go back with me to get it."
"It's okay. I should be embarrassed. It's so troublesome for you." Yao Qianqian smiled.
When I went home with Yao Qianqian, Xia Ruoxi got angry and shouted Fang Yan, "Fang Yan, what about the pair I drew yesterday?"
Fang Yan was slightly stunned, "Isn't it given to you in the morning?"
If it hadn't been for Yao Qianqian's presence, Xia Ruoxi would have been furious. She painted for a day before she finished painting. If she hadn't painted or couldn't find it, when she went out today, if she had known it earlier, she would not have gone to make an appointment with Yao Qianqian. She actually took another painting to see Yao Qianqian, so what did Yao Qianqian think of her? Question mark It seems that she deliberately teased people. It's not the one I drew yesterday. You took the wrong one. Go to the study and look for it. Where did you put my painting yesterday?
Fang Yan looked innocent, "I put the painting on the desk yesterday, and I also took the painting on the desk this morning." After saying that, he walked into the study with Xia Ruoxi and pointed to the empty desk. "Miss, look, there is nothing on the desk."
"Who has been in the study?" Xia Ruoxi was originally angry, but when she calmed down, she thought that Fang Yan did not have the courage to deliberately hide the painting or something, and there was no need at all. Who took her painting? Ling Yimo? Xia Ruoxi's first suspect was Ling Yimo. Who in this family let Ling Yimo be her biggest enemy? Although Qin Yao also has two hearts, she can't animate because there is no reason. But what is Ling Yimo's reason?
"Forget it, don't look for it." Yao Qianqian smiled very unnaturally. There was some mockery in her expression. It seemed that Xia Ruoxi was mysterious and didn't draw at all. She deliberately found reasons to prevaricate her.
Xia Ruoxi's anger is not big, and she is so annoyed that she should not have agreed to Yao Qianqian to help her. Up to now, she has made herself not human inside and outside. She gritted her teeth in her heart. When Yao Qianqian left, she had to take good care of Fang Yan. If Fang Yan hadn't put the painting, how could she be so embarrassed now? Now that Yao Qianqian is present, it is not easy to lose her temper, which makes Yao Qianqian feel more like she is acting, making herself ugly and full of results. After all, it has happened. With patience, Xia Ruoxi asked Fang Yan to look for it in the study.
As a result, there is still no painting.
Looking at Yao Qianqian's eyes, there are already more light dandruffs, which makes Xia Ruoxi, who is already a good face, feel embarrassed? As soon as her brain was hot, she immediately had other ideas and said to Yao Qianqian, "Well, I'll take out my grandfather's painting and find someone to copy it yourself."
Yao Qianqian listened to Xia Ruoxi's words and softened her face a little, "Ok. I was already looking for a good person to take your painting back and frame it. The painter has been waiting for a long time. Of course, it would be great if you could lend me the painting.
"But it's at my house. I can't put that painting anywhere else. I won't explain the reason. You can understand. Xia Ruoxi directly said that it was impossible to lend out pictures.
Yao Qianqian nodded with a smile, "I understand. Then next week, I'll find a good painter and copy it at your home. I will never take the painting away from where you don't want.
