Chapter 124: Bringing a burden
Villa area.
An Xiao family.
On the balcony of the master bedroom, An Xiao was talking on the phone.
"How's the investigation going on that I asked you to do?"
A young man's voice came from the phone: "I've investigated, and there's no connection between them."
"How can it be okay?" An Xiao suddenly raised his voice.
That day at Taoyaoju, Yan Shuyi protected Su He so much, as if Su He was her daughter.
She would never believe that they didn't know each other!
The man said helplessly: "There is really no connection between them. I have checked everything, but I can't find any clues."
An Xiao asked, "Where's the video of us having dinner at Taoyao Residence that day?"
The man replied, "I watched the surveillance video from that day. There was only a child and a tall boy with the woman. No one else. Are you dazzled?"
"..." An Xiao's chest heaved with anger.
She was slapped that day, how could she have recognized the wrong person?
The one who hit her was Yan Shuyi, there was no way she could admit her mistake.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Keep investigating this matter. I don't believe they really don't know each other."
The man didn't object. As long as he had the money, it would be fine.
After hanging up the phone, An Xiao sat on the chaise longue on the balcony.
She must find out why Su He knows Yan Shuyi.
-
Friday.
Si Qianqian's ward.
She blinked, looked at Su He cautiously and asked, "Sister Su, I'm about to be discharged from the hospital. Can I hold you for a while?"
Su He raised his eyelids and looked at her. Her personality had indeed changed a lot.
When they first met, she treated her like an enemy and acted aggressively, but now she is as obedient as a little rabbit.
"Can."
As soon as she finished speaking, Si Qianqian immediately opened her arms and hugged her.
"Sister Su, can I come back to the hospital to see you later?"
Su He refused without a second thought: "No, don't come to the hospital to see me. If you come to the hospital to see me, it will definitely be bad news."
When Si Qianqian heard this, her face immediately fell.
She pursed her lips: "Sure enough, you still don't like being friends with me."
Su He explained helplessly: "If you want to find me, you can find me on WeChat and we can meet outside. Since you have recovered and been discharged from the hospital, it is best not to return to the hospital for the rest of your life."
Si Qianqian understood immediately after hearing it, and her face, which had just fallen, immediately turned into a smile. "Oh, so that's what you mean. I understand then."
Su He saw that her mood was like that of a child, changing from moment to moment.
"Alright, pack up and leave the hospital. Also, remember to take your medicine. Don't forget. Also, be careful to control your emotions. Don't get excited, don't do any strenuous exercise, and don't overexert yourself..."
After giving a few instructions, Su He left as she still had work to do.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, she got off work on time as usual.
She drove for about forty minutes and arrived at the Deyu Road area.
After finding a place to park the car, she walked along a cobblestone alley.
We came to an antique shop, and only one side of the door was open.
She walked in and saw rows of display cabinets filled with all kinds of items.
Su He looked around and didn't see anyone.
She frowned.
Then she skillfully went up to the second floor.
Guyu was just about to go down when he unexpectedly saw Su He coming up.
He looked at Su He with a smile and shouted, "Sister Su He, you're here."
Su He reached out and knocked him on the head.
Guyu frowned in pain and looked at her in confusion.
"There's no one downstairs. Aren't you afraid someone will come in and steal things?"
When he heard about this, he immediately said with a smile: "Sister Su He, don't worry, no one dares to come to our place to steal things, because they are afraid of the old master."
"Where are his family members?" Su He asked.
Guyu pointed his finger above his head and said, "On the third floor."
Su He went up to the third floor, which was filled with various carving tools.
An old man with frosty white hair sat in front of the large mahogany table in the middle, holding tools in his hands and concentrating on carving his work with his head down.
Ouyang Jiuzhang didn't even raise his head: "What you want has been prepared. It's on the cabinet on the right."
The old man's voice was deep and revealed the vicissitudes of life, but it was very powerful.
After hearing this, Su He went to get it himself.
She took it out and took a look at it, then walked to the mahogany table and sat down, looking carefully at the seal in her hand for a while.
"Your craftsmanship remains as good as ever. The things you make are still so lifelike."
She praised him generously.
But what I got in return were the old man's sarcastic words.
Ouyang Jiuzhang snorted coldly and said, "No matter how good your skills are, if there's no one to inherit them, what's the use? You'll end up in the earth anyway."
Su He: “…”
She raised her hand and gently rubbed the tip of her nose, then coughed lightly.
"Haven't you already accepted Guyu as your apprentice?" she asked.
Ouyang Jiuzhang snorted again and said, "He? He's just a person who only knows how to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep. He can't even recognize all the tools. What's the use? He's so stupid."
“…”
Su He still felt a little awkward when facing Ouyang Jiuzhang.
After a while, he stopped what he was doing and looked at her.
Ouyang Jiuzhang is sixty-one years old this year. Apart from his gray hair, he is energetic and his face is rosy, giving people a sense of seriousness that makes him awe-inspiring without even being angry.
Anyway, among all the old men she knew, the one in front of her was the strictest.
His sharp eyes swept over the seal in her hand, and his tone was solemn: "You can do it yourself, why do you need me to do it?"
Su He smiled and explained, "Your skills are hundreds of times better than mine. This kind of important matter definitely requires your help. I'm afraid I'll mess it up myself."
"Humph!" The old man snorted, "Do you think I would believe such words?"
"Why don't you believe me? You taught me all my carving skills, so the master must be better than the apprentice."
Ouyang Jiuzhang was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Su He is the most talented sculptor he has ever met. She is proficient in the ten major carving techniques. It is already very good for ordinary people to master four of them, but she can reach the pinnacle in each of them.
But this girl's ambition was not here, so he did not force her. The only thing he asked was that she not give up this skill.
Su He rarely came here, so he stayed a little longer and had dinner.
By the time she left the antique shop, it was already past eight o'clock.
On the way back to Yuefu Villa, her cell phone placed on the center console rang.
She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Sang Luo calling.
