"I'm not an expert. I'm just a fan," He Wenxian said humbly.
He Weinian smiled and said, "Wenxian has liked to repair ancient books since she was young, so she studied the craft for a period of time. If you like, you can have a chat with Wenxian about it."
Qiao Xi straightened her back, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. "I happen to have a damaged ancient painting in my hand. It was left to me by my grandfather. Because this ancient painting is too precious, I don't dare to casually find someone to repair it. Miss He, why don't you help me?"
He Wenxian's heart trembled, but her expression did not change at all. "Of course."
"It's getting late, Ah Zheng. We'll take our leave first. See you in a few days." He Weinian stood up and prepared to leave.
He Wenxian could not help but glance at Gu Zheng, her eyes filled with unwillingness. She forcefully suppressed her emotions and smiled as she looked at Qiao Xi. "Xi Xi, on the day of the cultural relics event, you can bring the ancient painting over. Even if I'm not confident in repairing it, there'll be so many seniors present there. I believe they'll definitely be able to help you."
"Thank you in advance, Miss He," Qiao Xi said casually.
He Weinian and He Wenxian stood up and left. After the two of them got into the car, He Weinian smiled in satisfaction. "Wenxian, you performed well today. If you're really able to help Qiao Xi repair that ancient painting, it can be considered as you've done her a great favor. She won't be able to hold anything against you anymore.
"Try your best to be friends with Qiao Xi, but don't be too intimate with her. You have to be distant and aware of the limits. That way, when something happens to Qiao Xi, no one will suspect you."
He Wenxian replied.
He Weinian's eyes were filled with schemes. "Wenxian, you have to know that there's no flawless plan. What you have to do is to play with people's hearts. As long as you shed a few tears when something happens to Qiao Xi, no one will suspect you. After all, how could anyone suspect you of doing something to Qiao Xi when you look so sad?"
Back then, he had also gotten rid of those obstacles and become the greatest beneficiary. It was inevitable that he would be suspected. However, even if he would kill his in-laws and wife, how could he kill his child?
In the end, those doubts gradually dissipated over time. No one remembered what had happened back then.
He Weinian looked at He Wenxian. "I originally planned to let Tingchen marry Qiao Xi, but I didn't expect Qiao Xi to actually marry Gu Zheng. However, it's not too late.
"We've already obtained the address of the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor. We'll send someone to kill her now. As long as she dies, you'll be the legitimate Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor."
He Wenxian also smiled proudly. She knew that her father had bribed some ancient painting masters. As long as the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor died, those people would appear to confirm her identity.
Qiao Xi, who was in the living room, looked at He Weinian's and Wen Xian's backs. She raised her eyes and asked Gu Zheng, "You keep saying that He Weinian isn't a good person. Actually, I think he's not bad!"
"What do you mean?" Gu Zheng smirked.
Qiao Xi said, "I was just about to find out which wicked person intercepted my invitation when Chairman He came to tell me that it was him. It saved me a lot of trouble. He's too considerate!"
Gu Zheng chuckled with a trace of coldness.
The next second, Qiao Xi gnashed her teeth and said, "They actually dare to intercept my invitation! They even asked for my address! They want to silence me!"
Originally, Qiao Xi wanted to take revenge on Kang Jichuan first. Unexpectedly, Kang Jichuan did not follow Kang Ru to Li City. Instead, it was He Weinian who came over. Since that was the case, she would deal with the He family first!
Qiao Xi's eyes were filled with icy coldness. "Originally, I was only interested in The Forgotten River, but I have to go to this event now!"
At this moment, the cultural relic restoration experts had already arrived in Li City and were holding a meeting. They had even invited a team of reporters to record the scene.
The meeting lasted for a total of three days. The content was different every day, but they all revolved around one thing—how to repair that ancient book.
Those who received the invitations all came to Li City in advance, afraid that they would not be able to make it in time for this event. This was because everyone had heard that there were two famous figures attending this event. One was the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor who shocked the entire cultural relics world back then, while the other was the even more mysterious Twilight.
It was said that Twilight had a noble status and had learned ancient calligraphy and painting restoration since he was young. Hence, he could complete restoration works alone since he was very young. Many people only learned this after they became adults, but Twilight was already proficient in it when he was young. Moreover, this man won the most prestigious award in the ancient calligraphy and painting restoration competition ten years ago. He even won the championship for three consecutive years.
