"Well." Xia Xiaowei thought for a moment and said, "then it's all right."
"What's the matter?" Yan Jingqi asked.
"Maybe I read too many novels." Xia Xiaowei said, "I'm a little worried that something like this happened just a few days after you arrived in Z city."
"I understand." Yan Jingqi nodded and thought about it carefully and said, "but I really don't have any enemies."
"Could that be" Xia Xiaowei thought of Zhao Ning's words in her previous life and hesitated to ask, "what did the Yan Family provoke that they didn't dare to provoke?"
"Hehe, you really read too many novels." Yan Jingqi smiled and said, "but I will be more careful in the future."
"Yes." Xia Xiaowei knew that it was not good to say too much at this time, so she just smiled and nodded her head.
Passers by reported to the police. The police had arrived at the scene of the accident, and the ambulance came later.
Yan Jingqi also took Xia Xiaowei into the gallery.
As Yan Jingqi said, this gallery is really great, and each painting is very distinctive.
The owner of the gallery is a very beautiful woman in her early 40s. She looks like she is in her thirties. She has short hair, ears and fashionable and elegant clothes. She likes Xia Xiaowei very much at the sight of her: "this is a replica of Ruyu Xuemei! God, it's so similar!"
"Do you know my mother?" Xia Xiaowei looked at the person in front of her and asked in surprise.
"I've known you for years." The gallery owner thought for a moment and said, "in those days, Ruyu Xuemei often came to my gallery to sell the paintings of the Yan family. Later, the Yan family specifically told my father not to accept Ruyu Xuemei's paintings unless she painted them herself."
"Hehe." Xia Xiaowei was surprised and interesting to hear Yan Ruyu's old stories from others.
"Later, Ruyu Xuemei married to Z City, and I also married to Z city. At first, I was very happy, but then" after a pause, the owner of the gallery seemed to think he said a little too much carelessly. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry. Although I don't want to admit it, this man is easy to nag when he's old. I'll make you a pot of tea and you can turn around."
With that, the owner of the gallery turned and left.
Xia Xiaowei was puzzled by the gallery owner's words: "uncle, what's the matter?"
"You were kidnapped once when you were a child." Yan Jingqi looked at Xia Xiaowei and said, "it's a great blow to Ruyu. She was frightened and"
"At that time, things were very complicated and could not be explained clearly in a few words." Yan Jingqi took a deep breath and said, "it's over anyway. Now your peace is more important than anything."
"Yes." Xia Xiaowei heard Yan Jingqi say so. It's not good to ask further, so she just nodded and didn't answer again.
Yan Jingqi's eyes fell on an oil painting and said, "this picture is good."
"It's really good." Xia Xiaowei went to the painting with Yan Jingqi and said, "the color is very tense, the personal style is very obvious, the composition and light and shadow structure are very good, and this person has a strong foundation."
"Do you like it?" Yan Jingqi looks at Xia Xiaowei.
"Although the painting is very good, it's not my dish." Xia Xiaowei shook her head and said.
"What about that pair?" Yan Jingqi pointed to another portrait.
"Great, ultra modern realism." Xia Xiaowei looked at the painting, nodded and said, "in fact, there is still a big controversy about ultra modern realism."
"But we can't deny its commercial value." Yan Jingqi said.
"Yes." Xia Xiaowei nodded and said, "I still prefer Z Chinese traditional art works, which will be more delicate in the expression of emotion."
"So does your mother." Yan Jingqi looked at Xia Xiaowei with softer eyes.
"In terms of art appreciation, I am really more influenced by my mother." Xia Xiaowei smiled and said.
"Long wait." At this time, the gallery owner came up with the tray and put it on the small table on one side. The owner looked at the painting and said with a smile, "do you like this painting?"
"Not bad." Xia Xiaowei said.
"This is my friend's painting. He also undertakes personal portraits. If you are interested, you can give you contact information, but the price is not cheap." After a pause, the boss said, "I can give you a 20% discount."
"Hehe." Xia Xiaowei and Yan Jingqi smiled, walked to the small table and took the tea cup from her hand.
"Thank you." Xia Xiaowei held a teacup and asked curiously, "are all the paintings here your friends?"
"Not all." The boss said, "I'm a painter. I also take some good paintings from some auctions and sell them in stores, or take a chance to travel around and collect some interesting paintings."
"There are also many paintings by friends." The boss said, "if you know a good painter or have any great paintings, you can also bring them to me. It's absolutely high price."
With this, the boss looked at Xia Xiaowei.
"Sorry, I'm not going to sell my mother's work." Xia Xiaowei knew what the gallery owner meant, smiled and said.
"That's a pity. It's hard to find thousands of gold in the painting of sister Yu Xuemei." The boss shrugged his shoulders, turned his eyes and said, "if you can get any calligraphy from the Yan family, I will also accept it."
"Cough." Yan Jingqi coughed and said, "if you teach my sister badly, will you teach my niece badly?"
"Ha ha, I'm kidding." the boss smiled and took Yan Jingqi's empty tea cup, added another cup of tea for him, and blinked at Xia Xiaowei when he turned his head.
Xia Xiaowei smiled and didn't answer.
Before leaving the gallery, Yan Jingqi bought a still life painting and asked the boss to mail it to his villa in Kyoto.
The gallery owner smiled and sent them out of the Gallery: "Xiao Wei, you must come often when you have time. Oh, I'll prepare you the best tea. By the way, I can also talk about the embarrassment of your mother when she was young and the bullying of your uncle."
"Enough! Don't spoil my niece." After saying this, Yan Jingqi took a defensive look at the gallery owner, took Xia Xiaowei's shoulder and said, "ask you and your husband to have a drink another day."
"OK." The gallery owner smiled and waved: "Bye"
"Worship" Xia Xiaowei waved to the gallery owner before walking away with Yan Jingqi: "uncle, are you going back to the hotel?"
"Yes." Yan Jingqi responded and said, "there is also a meeting with friends in the evening. I want to have a rest."
"Then go back." Xia Xiaowei reached out and touched Yan Jingqi's arm. After making sure she didn't see any bloody and strange pictures again, Xia Xiaowei said with a smile: "contact your mobile phone later and pay attention to safety."
