Jiang Qianxue walked out with a doubtful expression.
When Lin Jing saw Jiang Qianxue, he was immediately startled.
This little witch was now causing a ruckus here. If Jiang Qianxue were to hear what she had said earlier, she would definitely misunderstand. However, this woman was so powerful that Lin Jing couldn't do anything to her. He was so anxious that he was running around in circles!
Lin Jing had no idea what to do in his mind. He didn't notice that at the moment Jiang Qianxue's voice sounded, the woman's eyes had gone round and round, and there was a hint of conspiracy within her eyes.
She swept her gaze over Lin Jing's body before suddenly moving closer to him and grabbing his hand.
"Hey, piggy, it seems like this girl is very important to you. Don't say that I didn't give you a chance and let me live here, I'll help you. Otherwise, let's do it over again!" "Don't play any tricks, I'm telling you, this aunt's patience is very limited!"
When Lin Jing heard this, he looked at the woman with disbelief in his eyes. This was extortion, extortion, and intimidation!
Although he kept wailing in his heart, the initiative was now in someone else's hands. He could only swallow his tears and say in a low voice, "It's a deal, but you can't mess around in the store anymore!"
"Done!" "Hehe, don't worry, this aunt is very powerful. I guarantee that you won't regret the decision you made today!" The woman smiled sinisterly for a while, then her expression changed into a pitiful look and she said, "Kind big brother, thank you, I should go back now. Let those bad people take me away and sell me. My home is also taken over by them!"
How long does it take a man to invent a lie?" Lin Jing had always felt that if he wanted to tell a lie, he would need to think for a very long time before being able to say it. Moreover, when he spoke, his heart was filled with apprehension and unease, afraid that someone would see through him.
If he hadn't met this little demoness and witnessed her amazing acting skills and her thick face so much that one could barely see the shame, Lin Jing would have thought that everyone in the world was the same when they were lying.
In the short distance between Jiang Qianxue and the inner part of the courtyard, this devil's tearful performance was enough to ignite the anger of any righteous person.
She had also met the black-hearted merchant, who had cheated her family's treasure, taken over their family's house, pissed off her only mother, left her by herself, if she went back, she would be sold by those people, etc., etc.
The whole thing didn't stop there. If Lin Jing hadn't known about this, he would have believed her.
Such perfect acting, Jiang Qianxue was halfway through. When she heard those tragic stories, her eyes reddened. When he finished speaking, he even walked up to the girl and hugged her tightly, almost crying out, "Little girl, you're so miserable!"
Lin Jing's heart was on the verge of collapse. Clearly, he was the victim!
The woman looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, but she had the face of a child. Her body seemed to have just begun to develop, and with her pitiful appearance, she instantly made herself look a few years younger.
When Lin Jing saw the woman in Jiang Qianxue's embrace give him a smug look, he could only hold back his humiliation and go out to buy breakfast.
With great difficulty, the woman finished her breakfast. With a pitiful expression, she turned her head towards Lin Jing and said, "Kind elder brother, I know I'm giving you trouble. Don't worry, I'll leave immediately. I won't cause any trouble for you!"
When Lin Jing saw the woman's gaze shifting to him, he subconsciously cried out 'Not good!' in his heart. Upon hearing her words, his entire body trembled. He then looked in the direction of Jiang Qianxue and saw that the way she was looking at him was undergoing a subtle change.
The woman winked at Lin Jing, as if to say, "Boy, you're not going to follow the path yet, are you? If you don't open your mouth now, you're going to leave this old lady with a bigger move!"
"Stay, don't go anywhere!" Before the woman could open her mouth, Lin Jing decisively spoke first.
"But good brother, won't this trouble you? And those bad guys are still chasing me, do you really want me to stay? " The woman's eyes were filled with pride, but her tone was pitiful.
"It won't be troublesome, how can it be troublesome! This is such a big place, our boss isn't usually here either. Even if you're here, it's fine. If he's very good, he'll definitely take you in! " Lin Jing gnashed his teeth in his heart, but he still wore a sincere smile on his face.
However, when he saw that Jiang Qianxue's expression had softened quite a bit, Lin Jing felt somewhat comforted in his heart.
As long as Qianxue was happy, he was willing to do anything!
"Kind brother, you're too great. I've troubled you for the entire night and I still don't know your name." The woman revealed a victorious expression, but her pitiful look was still forcefully maintained. It was truly amazing.
Lin Jing's mouth twitched as he tried to keep his emotions as calm as possible. "My name is Lin Jing, you can call me 'big brother Lin' or 'big brother Jing' from now on. You can stay in the shop until you feel safe."
"Elder brother Jing is great. His name is also great. He's like a hero." The woman purposely praised Lin Jing with gratitude.
Hearing this, Jiang Qianxue finally spoke out. "Little sister, you haven't told me your name yet, where do you live? Those bad guys are so bad, you tell me, I'll get justice back for you! "
The woman turned to Jiang Qianxue and said gratefully, "Big sister, you're so nice. My name is Du Xiaolan and I live in …"
At the end, Du Xiaolan's face suddenly revealed a puzzled expression as if she had lost her memory. She couldn't remember where she lived.
Lin Jing's heart was filled with contempt. Compared to before, her acting skills were incomparably clumsy.
However, Jiang Qianxue was really into this. She immediately comforted, "It's alright, Little Sister Xiao Lan. If you can't think of it, then forget it. If you think about it slowly, those people won't be able to escape anyway. I will definitely help you seek justice!"
"Elder sister, you're so nice!" Du Xiaolan's praising voice sounded out as she stared at Jiang Qianxue with her big eyes.
He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Xiaolan, you seem to be tired from last night. Since you woke up so early today, you must not have slept well. Go back and have a good rest. What's there to talk about after you wake up?"
Du Xiaolan shot a glance at Lin Jing with a mocking expression in her eyes. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Jing. Xiaolan will go back and rest. Goodbye big sister Qianxue."
With that, Du Xiaolan stood up and walked towards the backyard.
Jiang Qianxue watched her back as she walked into the backyard. She then sighed to herself, "What a pitiful child!"
Since things had come to this point, Lin Jing could only acknowledge it for the time being. With a thought, he asked Jiang Qianxue, "Qianxue, why are you here so early today?"
"What, I can't come over now? Don't forget, there is still a cooperation agreement between the Treasure House and the Treasure Lodge! Say, if I don't come today, are you going to chase Xiao Lan away? " Jiang Qianxue narrowed her eyes. There was an interrogative look in her eyes.
"How could that be? Xiao Lan's background is so pitiful, of course I won't chase her out. "Yes, she came here to ask for help in the middle of the night. I was the one who drove it!" Lin Jing immediately denied it.
"Hmph, that's more like it." Right, didn't Mister Lin buy that painting? Can I take a look at it? " Jiang Qianxue first pouted her lips, then asked him about the matters regarding the "Proud Snow Painting of Shi Lan".
When Lin Jing heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "I've already asked Mister Lin to put the painting in the shop. You didn't come yesterday even after hanging up for the entire day." Wait a minute, I'll get it for you right now! However, when Manager Feng comes back, I'll have to hang him up. "
"If that's the case, then why don't we not take it? I'll just stand there and take a look. Being able to admire it from such a short distance is already quite good." If it was accidentally damaged, it would be too inappropriate! " When Jiang Qianxue heard this, she immediately pulled Lin Jing back and said with a hesitant expression on her face.
"No problem, it's not that easy to break. Furthermore, when they brought it over from the Dong Clan Auction House, Elder Dong had his men make special measures to protect it. The protective measures were very good, so there shouldn't be any problems. Wait a moment, I'll take it out immediately.
Lin Jing said with a smile as he went inside to take down the "Proud Snow Painting".
Originally, the painting was hung on the outside, but after the incident last night, for the sake of safety, Zuo Quanan had put it inside. After rolling up the painting, Lin Jing walked out with a smile on his face, holding the scroll in his arms.
Jiang Qianxue was standing outside with a slightly excited expression on her face.
Although he had already seen the « Heavenly Blue Ou Snow Painting » many times in the exhibition hall, first, it was very far away. Secondly, all of the exhibits in the exhibition hall had a thick protective cover in front of them, greatly restricting his appreciation.
Although the Chinese painting's emphasis on writing and emotional expression is usually not too outstanding in detail, Zheng Banqiao's painting style is unique, and there are many points worth considering in detail. Furthermore, only through close observation would one be able to feel the strong emotions expressed on the painting.
Lin Jing had a faint smile on his face as he carefully placed the painting on the table.
As the scroll painting slowly rolled, a beautiful yet moving scene was slowly revealed. Jiang Qianxue held her breath. It was as if just a slight increase in her voice would destroy this lofty mental state.
After the entire painting was unfurled, Lin Jing turned his head to glance at Jiang Qianxue. Seeing that she was fully focused on the painting, his heart stirred. Lin Jing considerately handed her a magnifying glass.
As for Jiang Qianxue, she subconsciously leaned over and stood directly in front of the table. As for Lin Jing, he retreated to the side and sat down. He looked at Jiang Qianxue's attentive expression and felt that this was the most beautiful scene in the world.
If time could stop at this moment, it would be great if he could stay here forever.
Unknowingly, a lot of time had already passed. When Feng Yuqing arrived at the store, he saw that Lin Jing and Jiang Qianxue were engrossed in their work. They didn't disturb them as they quietly entered.
Nothing happened in the shop that morning.
Only when Jiang Yun called Jiang Qianxue did she suddenly realize what had happened. She put down the magnifying glass in her hand and looked at the time, then immediately exclaimed, "Aiya, it's so late, it's bad, it's bad. Once she saw the painting, she forgot about what she was doing. I'm leaving first!"
After he finished speaking, Jiang Qianxue hastily ran out without waiting for Lin Jing's reply.
Looking at her back, Lin Jing sighed in his heart. He stretched out his hand and only said the word "wait" before leaving.
