The head of the Purton family glanced at Mrs. Hua's face as she passed by him.
It seems that Hua Jian looks more like his biological father.
"Mr. Cang Shu, I'm truly grateful that you're willing to part with 'Void'. However, when I contacted your steward, he didn't tell me the price. Of course, it's a bit vulgar to talk about money now."
Mr. Xie said this with some embarrassment.
He really liked the painting "Empty", especially because he wanted to use it in a more important place.
So it seems more urgent at this time.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xie. I really envy you."
"What?"
Father Xie was a little confused.
Mr. Cang Shu is very influential in Country F, and his business is very diverse. He has inquired about casinos, shipping, oil and even arms.
Mr. Xie is very self-aware. The Xie family's assets are nothing in China, let alone outside the country?
Before coming to Haicheng, Xie's father thought that purchasing "Empty" this time would be difficult.
Why doesn't Mr. Cangshu look as moody as the legend says?
The head of the Pulton family said: "In my early years, I was only concerned with my career and never had any children."
Father Xie was stunned, not quite understanding why he was talking about his private affairs.
"Actually, I came to China this time to look for my children, but there's no trace of them yet. So when I learned that Mr. Xie had four sons, I was very envious of you."
Father Xie's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Cang Shu likes to do good deeds, and he will definitely get what he wants."
The head of the Purton family shook his head regretfully: "I met a child in China who I got along very well with."
Father Xie was a little confused. "What do you mean?"
--
The door closed tightly behind him, without making any sound.
Mrs. Hua frowned slightly and turned her head to take another look.
This mysterious wealthy businessman named Cangzhu gave her a very strange feeling.
When he left, his eyes were very sticky.
Maybe it was a strange word to use, but she felt like she was being stared at by a sinister animal.
My back felt cold, and a sense of horror surged from deep within my heart.
That look did not contain any ambiguous affection from a man towards a woman, but rather a look of disdainful scrutiny and assessment.
Mrs. Hua tightened her tulle shawl and walked away.
After she left, a black head popped out of the corridor.
The bodyguard at the door looked over vigilantly, and the black head immediately retracted.
Even though they were so far away, Shu Yao covered his chest and didn't dare to breathe.
He had seen the woman who had just left at the Bo family's birthday party.
Chairman Xie has long stopped asking about the affairs of the Xie Group. Moreover, with the Xie family's small assets, it is impossible for them to have any intersection with the Purton family.
Why did the head of the Pulton family entertain Chairman Xie so solemnly?
Shu Yao bit his lower lip, feeling flustered.
He overheard a conversation between the head of the Purton family and the butler.
It was also because of that conversation.
He had always thought that the head of the Pulton family wanted to adopt him...
--
A slightly sharp voice suddenly rang out in the private room.
"You mean, you want to adopt Hua Jian?" Xie's father thought it was absurd. "But, but, Hua Jian is already 20 years old. That's ridiculous."
"Mr. Xie, don't be impatient. Perhaps I used the wrong word. I shouldn't have used adoption. Perhaps I should have called him a godson?"
Father Xie sat down slowly.
The expression on the face of the head of the Purton family did not seem fake.
"You may not know yet, but I am not Hua Jian's biological father. He is the child born to my wife and her first husband."
Xie's father said it awkwardly, "But if you want to adopt a child, shouldn't you adopt a younger one?"
The head of the Purton family said calmly, "I'm a very spontaneous person. Since I want to adopt a child, of course I want to find someone I get along with. If Mr. Xie agrees, then the painting of 'Empty' will be a thank you gift to you. I have no shortage of money."
Xie's father was speechless.
If the head of the Purton family was talking about Xie Zhiyan, or even Xie Zhitan, Xie's father wouldn't have to think about it for so long.
It would be beneficial for the Xie family for an adult to adopt a godparent, especially one with a mysterious and profound background like Cang Shu.
But Hua Jian is not his son.
How could he, a stepfather who arrived late,...
"I checked. Mr. Xie paid for Hua Jian to study in the expensive art department."
"I gave him shares and a house, and treated him like my own son. That's why I sent your wife away."
"After all, Madam Zun is Hua Jian's biological mother, so her thoughts are always filled with emotion."
"If Mr. Xie agrees to persuade Hua Jian and Madam Zun, in addition to Pulkin's 'Empty,' I can also give Mr. Xie several of Randy's works from my private collection."
Father Xie stood up again with a bang, incredulous: "Randy? Mr. Cang Shu actually has Randy's works?"
The head of the Purton family smiled like a devil tempting mortals to fall.
"If Hua Jian can really be my son, then Mr. Xie, Hua Jian's other father, and I are relatives. A few paintings between relatives are not worth anything."
Mr. Xie's eyes were filled with hesitation, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
Seeing that the situation was almost settled, the Pulton family head said, "Of course, if Mr. Xie finds this too difficult, I can sell you "Empty", but I'm afraid Randy's work..."
Father Xie immediately became anxious: "Mr. Cang Shu, please let me think about it."
The head of the Purton family smiled and said, "Of course, but Mr. Xie, you don't have much time. I can only stay in China for another three days."
Father Xie hesitated and asked, "Is Hua Jian also living in this hotel now?"
"Of course," the head of the Purton family said with a strange look in his eyes, "It seems that Mr. Xie doesn't know yet."
"What?"
"Bo Lin is Hua Jian's boyfriend now."
Xie's father's eyelids twitched.
"I heard that Madam Zun really hates homosexuals, and her own son happens to be the person she hates the most. I wonder if this will help Mr. Xie convince Madam Zun."
"You want my wife to be with Hua Jian..."
"Mr. Xie, don't worry too much. You already have three sons, so losing a non-blood-related child won't be a big deal. But if Hua Jian becomes my son, I hope your wife will not bother him too much."
"I wonder what Mr. Xie thinks?"
"Hua Jian and the three young masters of the Xie family all get along very well. In the future, Hua Jian will call me father. With the three young masters around, the Xie family will definitely not be just a second-rate family in the imperial capital."
Father Xie felt like he was dreaming.
How could Hua Jian be so lucky?
Mr. Xie was dizzy with good luck.
Just then his cell phone vibrated.
The head of the Purton family made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Xie is busy."
Father Xie didn't know what to say. He opened his phone and saw the painting "Empty" that he had been thinking about was hanging in his study by the housekeeper.
