Chapter 56 What am I in your eyes?
Although Song Xuwen's family was wealthy, with only one in a thousand people being able to make a fortune, it was still far from the top-tier wealthy family of the Zhou family.
The Zhou family is worth tens of millions, and is even a top wealthy family that only one among the middle class can produce!
But Song Xuwen still felt sorry for Shi Huai and couldn't help but snort, "He'd better be really, really good to you! Otherwise, I still can't bear to entrust you to him! With my current assets, it's more than enough to support you and the child!"
Shi Huai was amused by Song Xu Wen: "Don't worry! I won't let myself down!"
Shi Huai turned the topic back to Song Xu Wen, "Don't just talk about me, how have you been lately?"
Song Xuwen shrugged, "I didn't go to the museum. I inherited the family business. Now I'm considered an apprentice domineering female CEO."
Hearing that Song Xuwen did not fulfill his dream, a look of regret flashed in Shi Huai's eyes.
"Xu Wen, I'm sorry. If it were me..."
"Hey! Stop it!" Song Xuwen raised his hand to pretend to cover Shi Huai's lips, not allowing her to continue to feel guilty. "I didn't give up because of your stepmother's tricks. Do you think my dad can subdue me?"
"I gave it up on my own."
Shi Huai was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
Song Xuwen took a bite of hawthorn and said slowly, "Although I really enjoy cultural relic restoration, I'm neither as talented nor as patient as you. Thanks to the professor, I got a month-long internship at a museum. In the beginning, I had no money, but I had to serve tea and water to a bunch of self-proclaimed masters, and serve them politely."
"Three months ago, a senior accidentally ruined an original calligraphy piece and then turned around and blamed it on me! They took advantage of me because I was an intern and had little experience. Everyone thought I made this stupid mistake!"
"Damn it! A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated! Why should I admit such a stupid mistake?! I was so angry that I pulled up the surveillance video and threw it on the big screen in the museum, then quit! That night, I went back to my father in shame and admitted my mistake."
Shi Huai was amused by Song Xuwen's vivid tone and gave her a thumbs up, "As expected of Song Xuwen."
Song Xuwen touched the big waves on her shoulders and said, "That's it."
"I called you here today because I actually have a favor to ask of you." Shi Huai said it directly. There was no need to be polite to maintain the relationship between her and Song Xuwen.
Song Xuwen raised his left eyebrow. "Oh, the sun is rising from the west today? You, a Steel Rose, can actually ask me for help?"
Shi Huai had always been independent in college. She wouldn't take advantage of others, and the closer she was to someone, the more measured she was. She would never ask for help unless she had no other choice.
Shi Huai showed Song Xuwen the photo of "Birds on the Branches of Trees in Spring Mountains".
Song Xuwen was shocked again. "Could this be the original painting that only appears in books but has never been discovered... 'Spring Mountain with Birds on Branches'?"
"Yes, this is a family heirloom of the Zhou family."
Song Xuwen pressed his thumb against his philtrum. "Fuck... Shi Huai, how many times are you going to shock me? Thanks to you, I finally saw the authentic legend that has disappeared for thousands of years."
At the time, everyone was discussing the painting, saying it must have been destroyed in the turbulent times. Who would have thought it was a Zhou family heirloom?
But if you look closely, you will find that this "Birds on the Branches of Trees in Spring Mountains" must have been repeatedly restored by Master Gao in the early years, but the damage to the original painting now must have been caused within the past ten years.
The extent of the damage may not appear to affect repair, but those who truly understand the matter will not rashly take over the repair.
It is not advisable to repeatedly repair an original work in a short period of time, as the degree of wear and tear is not something that ordinary people can grasp.
It is even more difficult to restore the original appearance of the original work and preserve its historical traces and characteristics of the times.
The only one who can restore this repeatedly damaged original work is probably the Buque Sect in Guangnan which has been passed down for hundreds of years. They have special techniques and secret skills.
"Do you want to restore this painting?" Song Xuwen asked.
"Yes. This is a token of love between Grandpa and Grandma Zhou. Grandma treats me very well, and I don't want her to be depressed because the original painting has been destroyed."
Song Xuwen knew that Shi Huai's grandfather was the 23rd generation successor of the Buque Sect, and Shi Huai naturally also had his true secret skills, but it was a pity that he was not able to continue on this path.
Shi Huai doesn't like to make it public and doesn't want to cause himself too much trouble, so Song Xuwen has been helping Shi Huai keep this secret.
Now that she heard that Shi Huai was going to restore the original work again, Song Xu Wen was eager to try, and she was looking forward to it! She had 100% trust in Shi Huai!
"Come home with me later, and I'll give you all the tools that are abandoned in the basement."
No one knows her better than Xu Wen! Shi Huai immediately smiled: "You still understand me!"
There are many tools for repairing cultural relics, and some of them are precious and rare. In the entire profession at that time, Song Xuwen was the only one who could buy all the tools and keep them at home.
"Just let me know if you need help!"
"Don't worry, I won't be polite to you!"
*
There were too many things and it was inconvenient for Shi Huai to move them by himself, so Song Xu Wen drove a G-Class to bring Shi Huai and the pile of tools back.
In order to prevent the servants from discovering that he was preparing these things secretly, Shi Huai specially put these tools into a large airtight box and asked the servants to carry it up.
Song Xuwen got out of the car to help Shi Huai.
Before leaving, Song Xuwen made the classic gesture he used to tease Shi Huai in college, reached out and patted Shi Huai's buttocks twice, "Contact me on WeChat."
Shi Huai slapped the hand that was placed on his buttocks: "Got it."
"Leave."
After Song Xuwen got in the car, he rolled down the window and blew a kiss to Shi Huai.
Shi Huai also pouted and clapped his lips with one hand, making a "bo bo bo bo" sound, and blew Song Xuwen several kisses.
Soon, the car started and Song Xuwen drove away.
Only after the rear of the car disappeared did Shi Huai prepare to return to the old house.
As a result, when he turned around, he met Zhou Jibai's sinister gaze.
Apparently, he had just returned to his old house. The Rolls-Royce he usually drove into the gate, leaving him standing there alone.
Zhou Jibai teased Shi Huai expressionlessly: "Why don't you avoid me when you cheat on me?"
Shi Huai: “…”
Just now, Shi Huai had blown several kisses to the people in the car, which made his eyes red!
"I didn't cheat!" Shi Huai retorted.
"Could it be that the flying kiss just now was meant for me, and you just got the wrong direction?" Zhou Jibai raised his eyelids lazily and glanced at her.
Shi Huai puffed up his cheeks: "It's not for you."
"Who is that person? Was he the one you sent messages to late last night?" Zhou Jibai took the initiative to walk in front of Shi Huai, his eyes narrowed and his gaze met Shi Huai's. "What am I to you? The sleeping husband in the porn movie?"
Shi Huai glared at him and explained, "What are you talking about! The person in the car just now was my best friend from four years in college! She was the one I contacted last night! I just asked her for a favor!"
