Butler Qin seemed to realize his incompetence and helped up the glass that fell on the table with a blank expression. The waiter had already come over and cleaned up the mess silently.

Gu Zekai looked at Butler Qin thoughtfully. In his impression, Butler Qin was meticulous in his work and never showed such a loss of composure, let alone in such an occasion.

It was obvious that Lin Shengxia had the same feeling as him. After looking at each other without any trace, the two looked at each other and smiled faintly. Although they had questions in their hearts, they did not alarm anyone.

Yuan Muyang slowly sat down, all the silver-gray suit buttons were open to reveal the dark shirt inside, and his slender fingers were casually fiddling with the auction list handed over by the waiter, and it was obvious that he was not thinking about it.

The deep eyes along the auction list he erected quietly fell on Lin Shengxia's beautiful and slender silhouette, but only a short distance between Yuan Muyang's single table was in sharp contrast with the table next to him.

At the same time, butler Qin's eyes would also fall on Yuan Muyang's face as if nothing had happened. His wrinkled fingers were rubbing the edge of the glass that had just been knocked over by him, as if he was thinking about something, and his expression was a little dim.

Perhaps because Yuan Muyang's gaze was too blatant, Gu Zekai's face gradually became ugly, and his handsome facial features showed an extremely dangerous cold light.

Seeing this, Lin Shengxia just calmly stretched out his slightly cool fingers to cover the back of his hand, and shook his head with a very small range of movement.

Gu Zekai grabbed her soft hand with his backhand and held her soft hand tightly on his knees. During this period, the two of them didn't even look at Yuan Muyang. Their movements naturally revealed the intimacy and concern that only couples could have.

"What were you looking at just now?" Gu Zekai's low voice sounded, his strong body leaned forward, and his thin lips curled with a doting smile. Lin Shengxia was stunned, and then he recalled the figure he saw when he was walking on the red carpet in his mind.

"I seemed to see that reporter just now!"

Although the reporter who filmed the fire scene was just a flash of sight, Lin Shengxia felt that she should not have recognized the wrong person. After all, when she met last time, she already felt the reporter's concern for this white jade Buddha!

Gu Zekai's expression frightened, and it was obvious that he also remembered what the reporter Lin Shengxia said was. It was the reporter who said that his father was raising women outside. He didn't believe that nonsense!

"If you want, I want Ying to bring him in." Lin Shengxia's clear eyes fell on Gu Zekai's face, and naturally did not miss the tightened folds at his eyebrows. He raised his hand helplessly to fit his soft fingertips against his frown brow.

Chang'an's expression was excited to imitate Lin Shengxia's movements, and he nestled in Qiao Yin's arms and stretched out his hand to light his eyebrows. His moist lips were still full of innocence. She was beautiful and charming, and this time she attracted more attention.

"You're sure to eat, I can't do anything to you!" Gu Zekai curled his lips helplessly. Although he didn't like the reporter, as long as it was proposed by Lin Shengxia, he would satisfy her.

After the words came, Gu Zekai looked up at Ying standing beside them. He had already heard the conversation between the two clearly when he saw Gu Zekai's gesture and walked out of the venue. Ying also followed him, so naturally he still remembered the other person's appearance.

The auction was going on in an orderly manner. Because the white jade Buddha that Gu Zekai wanted to take was placed at the end, the few people did not pay much attention at the beginning.

On the contrary, Chang'an, who rarely participates in such activities, stared at the stage with wide eyes and raised the sign in his hand from time to time. Because the venue was traded in US dollars, Chang'an's playful performance had already caused Qiao Yin to lose millions of dollars.

Lin Shengxia wanted to tell her the first time she mistakenly held the sign, but before she could speak, Qiao Yin shook her head silently. The indulgence in her dark pupils was obvious. Lin Shengxia smiled and understood that this was Qiao Yin's unique way of getting along with Chang'an.

One is ignorant, the other is indulgent!

Soon, the shadow brought the reporter in. The old man was dressed very well today. The old man was wearing Zhongshan outfit in the old days, which was incompatible with the atmosphere in the auction venue. However, the people who were immersed in the bidding atmosphere did not pay much attention.

Yu Guang, who was in the sight of Butler Qin, still stayed on Yuan Muyang, until a shadow sat down beside him, came to his senses. When the two of them looked at each other, both of them were stunned for a moment, and their astonishment expressions were fleeting.

"I met in a hurry last time, and I had not had time to ask your name clearly." Lin Shengxia spoke lightly, her face calmly, and her eyes stared at the old man, without any oppression.

"Guo Nan." He spoke slowly. He was ready since the bodyguard found himself in the crowd just now. After all, he came for the White Jade Buddha and could see him again in his lifetime. Even if there was a sea of ​​swords and fire in front of him, he wouldn't care.

"Mr. Guo's concern for the White Jade Buddha was beyond my imagination. At that time, you once told me that this White Jade Buddha is very important to you, but it's a pity that you don't have the money to buy it and return it to the original owner! I'm very curious, who is the original owner?"

Lin Shengxia never forgot the depression in Guo Nan's eyes at that time. If it weren't for Gu Zekai's interruption at that time, he might have been able to say more. What Gu Hongwen and the elders care about equally would definitely not be that simple.

Butler Qin's hand holding the glass cup moved without a trace. His eyes that were no longer as clear as those of a young man fell on Guo Nan's face. Just a glance, it instantly burst into complexity.

"The most famous professor in T-city that year, Su Qingzhi!" Guo Nan did not ask Lin Shengxia to wait too long, and quickly gave the answer she wanted.

The answer is obviously consistent with Gu Zekai's previous statement. At that time, Gu Zekai told her that the original holder of the jade Buddha was an old professor in T City. After he died, the jade Buddha was sold several times.

Gu Zekai looked at Guo Nan with a blank expression. His deep eyes as deep as an eagle, seemed to be vague, but in fact he was secretly displeased. If it weren't for Mrs. Gu's relationship, he wouldn't have allowed him to appear here.

"It seems that Professor Su Qingzhi has a lot of connection with you." Lin Shengxia chuckled and pulled the straw of the drink in front of her. Her voice sounded like the past, but her intuition told her that it is definitely not easy for this white jade Buddha to attract the attention of so many people.

"If you don't mind, can you tell me? Just think it's my reward for bringing you into the venue!"

He covered the auction book on the table with his backhand, and Lin Shengxia leaned on the soft back of the chair. It was still early, so it was more than enough to listen to a story to learn about the background of the Jade Buddha!

Although there was one more person on the table, Chang'an was still holding up the sign and playing this game that was very novel to her. Qiao Yin was expressionless and let her make trouble.

"Professor Su Qingzhi is my teacher. He was the most famous professor of Chinese in City T. He won many national awards in the papers he wrote. This was a very amazing thing at that time. It was an honor for me, Guo Nan, to be able to learn from Professor Su!"

There was an old pen in front of Guo Nan's Zhongshan suit. The tail end was a little white enough to show how long it was. He said as he pulled out the pen and put it in his hand and looked at it carefully. From his movements, Lin Shengxia could not guess that the pen was given to him by Su Qingzhi.

"The professor is very weird and unkind. It is rumored that his family is hidden in his valuable treasures, and the more he spreads it, the more he spreads it, the more fierce it becomes. The two of us are more like a friend of our age. Professor Su knew that my family was poor and would take me home to treat me to dinner from time to time. Once he was happy to drink, he showed me this valuable treasure that was rumored by others. It was this white jade Buddha! In fact, it really means that although this thing is valuable, it is not as bizarre as it was spread outside. However, he followed the crowd and spread it to ten or hundreds of people. In the end, a famous antique dealer in T-shirt came to visit every day and asked Professor Su to transfer the treasure to them!"

When Guo Nan said this, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if it really felt ridiculous, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were obviously prominent with his movements.

"Later, what happened?" Guo Nan's words completely aroused Lin Shengxia's interest. She supported her seat with one hand on the armrest of the seat, her fingertips pressed against her chin, and her beautiful face was full of interest.

"Professor Su Qingzhi had a daughter only at least forty years old, and the professor's wife died of bleeding during childbirth. Naturally, she regarded the child as a pearl in her palm and loved her very much, but it was this pearl in her palm that stabbed the teacher hard in the heart!"

If Guo Nan's expression was nostalgic when he talked about Su Qingzhi's teaching just now, then when he talked about the professor's daughter, his tone turned into regret and regret.13acv.

Gu Zekai's black pupils fell on his face, as if waiting for Guo Nan to continue speaking. He held the goblet in one hand and shook it gently, and the burgundy liquid swayed and fluctuated.

"What did her daughter do?" Even Chang'an, who had been immersed in novel games, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Guo Nan in confusion. The price tag in her hand was thrown onto the table by her hands, and her eyes were bright on her chin.

"She was pregnant without marriage, and the professor couldn't accept such a blow. He fell ill in anger. He begged her to break up with the man outside, but she was already fascinated, so how could she be willing? In the end, fortunately she ran away from home and there was no news again!"

"After the teacher's daughter ran away from home, the teacher dug out the daughter Hong, who had been buried since she was born, and poured the wine inside into the sink expressionlessly... I will never forget that scene in my life!"

Speaking of this, Guo Nan sighed and couldn't help but caress the white jade Buddha on the album, as if he was remembering his old friend.

Lin Shengxia didn't expect the story to develop in this direction, and she felt a sigh in her heart. She regarded her baby daughter as the jewel in her hand and became pregnant unmarriedly, and finally ran away from home for the sake of a man. I'm afraid no parent can accept it.

"The professor never gave up searching, but this searching didn't last long."

Guo Nan's eyes fell on the booth. At this time, a diamond necklace was being exhibited on it. People in the VIP seat were bidding for the expensive numbers. The number he would never dare to imagine in his life.

"Is something wrong with the professor?" Although Lin Shengxia said it was a question, she already had a positive answer in her heart. She is also the mother of the child. If she had not had irresistible external forces, she would never give up looking.

When Guo Nan heard this, he finally looked up and looked at her, with a slight trembling in his pupils.

"Yes! Professor Su's home was invaded by illegal bandits. The police later investigated and said that Professor Su was too concerned about the White Jade Buddha. During the competition, he was stabbed by the bandits and died of excessive blood loss. Until he solved the case, he became a mystery! Until I became a reporter, I accidentally learned about its whereabouts in the black market. It turned out that it had been purchased by buyers from other places many years ago!" Guo Nan came here today and did not expect to buy the White Jade Buddha back. In fact, he couldn't afford it. He just wanted to meet the White Jade Buddha, just meet it!

"Where is Professor Su's daughter? Haven't she appeared until after he died?" Lin Shengxia's heart trembled and she couldn't help but ask.

Guo Nan didn't say anything for a long time. He first shook his head, and then spoke again.

"The professor's daughter is like evaporating from the world and has never appeared again!"

After the words fell, no one spoke for a long time.

It was like a silence. Chang'an's eyes and eyebrows were filled with sadness, his head leaned against Qiao Yin's shoulder, and his rosy lips were pursed.

"What is Professor Su's daughter's name?" Before Lin Shengxia could speak, Gu Zekai's low voice sounded in her ears.

"Su..." Before Guo Nan could finish his words, but Butler Qin, who had been sitting next to him, suddenly spoke.

"It's the turn of the White Jade Buddha's auction soon." Butler Qin's voice broke the peaceful atmosphere before. Time passed without realizing it during their chat. Indeed, the auction of the White Jade Buddha was about to begin soon.

Guo Nan, wearing Zhongshan suit, instantly straightened his back and stared at the auction booth with a nervous expression. Lin Shengxia's calm and clear eyes fell on Butler Qin's face intentionally or unintentionally.

Butler Qin let her look at her expressionlessly, making people unable to find any flaws!

The auction is still in progress...

************************************************

Provence, South France

Tangtang pinched her nose and drank a glass of milk, and there was a layer of white milk stain on her lips.

The spotless windows that were wiped out were already dark. The lilac gauze curtains quietly fitted against the snow-white walls. The crystal lamps in the room were bright, and the soft light illuminated every corner of the children's room.

Everything here is arranged according to Yuan Muyang's instructions, and it is full of innocence and childlike fun everywhere. Even the walls are painted with pictures that children like. It is not difficult to see that the decorations here are thoughtful.

The sound of Dongdong... rang out. Tangtang held the glass in both hands, her eyes wide open, and even stared at the window that made the sound just now.

Dongdong...

The sound rang again, and something like a stone flashed by. Tangtang carefully placed the cup on the table, and her long and thick eyelashes swayed. The pink pajamas on her body made the pink little face look better.

The small palm pushed the window open, and the boy standing by the door in the dark night was noticed by Tangtang in an instant. He seemed to be holding a stone in his palm, and he moved with the upward thrown palm.

The refreshing cool breeze lifted Tangtang's hair loosened, and the lilac gauze curtain danced behind her, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance of flowers in the air.

The young man with delicate facial features put one hand in his pants pocket. When he saw the window open, he waved to Tangtang to come down.

Soon, the panting Tangtang avoided the French aunt and pushed open the door and ran out. Her white and thin ankles were exposed outside the pink pajamas. Her big black and white eyes were filled with joy. She looked at the boy suddenly appeared at the door through the carved door.

The housekeeper who was dressed meticulously stood beside him, and his clothes seemed different from those on weekdays, and were more formal.

The boy's clenched palm stretched in through the gap of the carved iron door. The carved door railings divided his face. The handsome mixed-blooded face was still bloodless in the dark, but the corners of his lips were stained with smiles.

In order to match Tangtang's height, he slowly squatted down. The fingers he had originally held tightly opened, and a chain fell from his slender fingers. The key-shaped pendant shone brightly in the dark night.

Tangtang also had a sweet milky smell on her body, and her big black and white eyes were full of doubt. Her friends seemed very different today!

The boy just pulled Tangtang closer to the door, then untied the chain along the curve of her snow-white and delicate neck. Through the iron carved doorbar, Tangtang could even see the outline of the handsome face of the boy.

It was not until something cold hung on his neck that Tangtang came to his senses and stared at the boy outside the door with wide eyes, as if he didn't understand why he was giving him a gift?

The boy carefully helped her stuff the chain she had originally worn into the collar of her pajamas. Her cool fingers touched her skin and couldn't help but make Tangtang shrink her neck.

Suddenly, the boy spoke to Tangtang. Because of the inconvenience of language, Tangtang could not understand what he was saying. It was obvious that the boy was not ready to explain, but just waved his hand at her calmly, turned around and left.

At the same time, Tangtang stretched out her soft little hand and grabbed the boy's finger. A cool breeze blew, blowing up the soft forehead on Tangtang's forehead, with a seemingly loneliness in her expression.

The young man's beautiful lips curled up slightly, but his unhealthy skin color in the dark night brought a strange visual feeling. He just stood there quietly, slowly pulling his slender and cold fingers away from Tangtang's hand...

The movement was very slow, so slow that Tangtang could not refuse. At this time, Tangtang could not understand the meaning of the boy turning around and leaving, and could not even clearly feel the taste of separation.
