Chapter 111 You are like a peacock spreading its tail
Ruan Liuzheng pursed her lips, her cold eyes fixed on Xie Qingcen, her beautiful eyebrows twisted unconsciously.
Although Xie Qingcen's voice contained a hint of smile and his tone was somewhat teasing, this was the third time Xie Qingcen had emphasized this.
It seemed that he really had something to tell her, and it seemed to be good news.
She nodded, and a rare hint of curiosity appeared in her cold voice.
"What is it? There's no rush but you keep stressing about it."
Xie Qingcen laughed barely audibly, put his arm around Ruan Liuzheng's shoulders, and led him towards the sofa.
Qingjun's eyebrows were slightly relaxed, with a hint of gentleness.
After both of them sat down, he spoke slowly, his voice deep and magnetic.
"The lawyer who was in charge of your grandfather's will has finished his assignment and will be returning to Yuncheng in a few days."
Xie Qingcen knew what Ruan Liuzheng had been worried about, and also knew what she cared about the most, so he didn't say any more nonsense and directly told her the most important news.
He looked at Ruan Liuzheng quietly, waiting for her to digest the news.
Ruan Liuzheng's eyes were stunned, and her palms hanging on her knees tightened unconsciously, her heart seemed to be filled with joy and sorrow.
She was one step closer to the truth, and the answer her grandfather left for her and her mother was finally solved by her.
In this way, the spirits of my grandparents and mother in heaven can rest in peace.
Ruan Liuzheng closed his eyes, thinking of his childhood memories, and his throat suddenly became choked up.
His palms were clenched tightly into fists, and they were even trembling slightly.
Xie Qingcen remained silent the whole time. He knew Ruan Liuzheng's pride and understood what Ruan Liuzheng was thinking.
Thinking of the previous investigation results, just a few words told all the miserable experiences that Ruan Liuzheng had experienced in the past.
He pursed his lips, and his eyes towards Ruan Liuzheng were filled with a bit of heartache, but he kept disturbing Ruan Liuzheng.
Just sit quietly by the side and be a diligent and responsible companion.
After a long time, Ruan Liuzheng got rid of those disturbing memories. She opened her eyes, and the fragility and sadness in her eyes were instantly concealed, leaving only coldness and calmness.
She raised her eyelids slightly, her eyes were indifferent, "Can you arrange a meeting between me and you as soon as possible?"
His voice was slightly hoarse, with a barely perceptible tremor, which was in stark contrast to the calmness on his face.
Xie Qingcen's eyes darkened slightly.
The corners of her thin lips were pursed into a straight line, but this time it was not anger that expressed her feelings, but pity.
Unable to suppress the heartache and pity.
He nodded, his eyes gradually darkening, "I have already arranged it. Nothing will go wrong, and I already told him your purpose when I contacted him."
Ruan Liuzheng raised his eyes and looked at Xie Qingcen, his throat tightening unconsciously, "What did he say?"
The lawyer in charge of my grandfather's will was the person who stayed with him the longest during the period when he was ill.
Because that lawyer was a student my grandfather had once sponsored and was also the student my grandfather had the highest hopes for. He went to work for my grandfather's company right after graduation and was deeply nurtured by my grandfather.
It can be said that she is the person my grandfather trusts the most besides her and her mother.
Because my mother doesn't like managing a company and knows nothing about company affairs.
So before my grandfather passed away, he told Bai Xunan and the lawyer a lot of things, while Ruan Liuzheng and my mother knew very little about what my grandfather said during his illness.
It can be said that apart from her grandfather's physical condition, she and her mother knew almost nothing.
This also led to why she and her mother became so passive later on, and it could even be said that they were led by Bai Xunan.
After realizing what was happening, Ruan Liuzheng and her mother thought about looking for the other party involved in their grandfather's will, the lawyer, but somehow, the lawyer seemed to have disappeared.
Completely disappeared in Yuncheng without a trace.
Until Ruan Liuzheng's mother Ruan Lichu passed away, neither she nor her daughter found the lawyer.
Ruan Liuzheng only vaguely remembered that the lawyer's surname was Chen, and when he came to Ruan's house when she was a child, he often stuffed candies into her mouth.
I can't remember the rest.
After marrying Fu Yanci, Ruan Liuzheng secretly used the power of the Fu family to look for Lawyer Shen, but still found nothing.
As time went by, she became a little discouraged, and sometimes even couldn't help but think of giving up.
But I didn't expect that things would take a turn for the better now.
Recalling the hardships of the past, Ruan Liuzheng let out a breath, her brows unconsciously frowned, and her cold eyes looked fixedly at Xie Qingcen.
His eyes were anxious and expectant.
I was worried that the lawyer would refuse to meet me, but I was also looking forward to hearing something about my grandfather from him.
The contradiction is unavoidable.
Xie Qingcen seemed to sense Ruan Liuzheng's mood. His eyes softened for a moment, and then he reached out and forcefully pried open Ruan Liuzheng's tightly clenched palm, and stuffed his slender jade-like knuckles into the gap in her palm.
Fingers clasped together.
He opened his lips, and his clear voice contained a hint of comfort, "Don't worry, he is willing to see you. Otherwise, I would not tell you his whereabouts."
"And he has made it clear that there are things that you do need to be told. So don't be nervous, and don't hurt yourself."
Xie Qingcen's tone paused slightly, his dark eyes shone with tenderness, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Everything will develop in a good direction."
Ruan Liuzheng felt the burning temperature of her palm. She pursed her lips unconsciously. Her long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, like the flapping of a butterfly's wings, casting a small black shadow under her eyes.
She nodded and repeated, "Well, everything will work out for the best."
She has divorced Fu Yanci and has left the quagmire of the Fu family.
Even if things get worse, they probably won't be worse than the past five hopeless years.
No matter what the outcome, Ruan Liuzheng must know the truth and give an explanation to her deceased grandparents and mother.
Also give an explanation to my past self.
After Ruan Liuzheng thought it through, the heavy feeling in her heart relaxed a little. She looked at Xie Qingcen, a faint arc appeared at the corners of her light pink lips, and her eyes were cold and firm.
With expectation and hope, there is no more decadence just now.
Xie Qingcen raised the corners of his eyes, and a hint of relief appeared in his dark eyes. He opened his lips slightly, and his voice was as clear as striking stone and jade.
"Besides that, there is another piece of news, which should be considered as news you expected."
His eyes were light and calm, with a hint of warmth on his handsome face, and his eyes were bright, filled with Ruan Liuzheng.
Facing his slightly scorching gaze, Ruan Liuzheng's cold eyes froze for a moment. Her ears were imperceptibly stained with a hint of rouge, and she subconsciously slowed down her breathing.
She asked softly, "What news? You seem to be in a particularly good mood today, and you always like to keep me in suspense."
She raised her eyelids, and a small bag appeared on her beautiful brows. There was a hint of doubt in her black and white eyes.
It seems to be obedient and less sharp.
Xie Qingcen smiled faintly. He couldn't help but raise his hand to rub the top of Ruan Liuzheng's head, which felt very good. His eyebrows were deep, "Because Miss Ruan is very outstanding, I am proud of her and feel happy."
His eyes were lowered, his lips were thin and cold, but there was a faint smile in his eyes.
The smile caused by Ruan Liuzheng.
Ruan Liuzheng suddenly realized something. She pursed her lips, then raised her eyes, her smiling voice revealing a hint of arrogance.
"It's not the first day you know I'm excellent, why haven't I seen you so happy before?"
She folded her arms across her chest and took a step back, moving a little further away from Xie Qingcen.
Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly raised, showing a bit of arrogance.
Xie Qingcen smiled and looked at Ruan Liuzheng, his handsome eyebrows and eyes looked a little beautiful in the sunlight.
He lowered his head, the faint light in his eyes was clearly visible, and nodded, "But I was not with you yesterday, but today I am on par with you. So, naturally, my emotions will be a little different."
Ruan Liuzheng curled her lips imperceptibly, raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her light pink lips rose in an obvious arc.
The tone of voice was slightly raised, implying a hint of joking.
"Xie Qingcen, you can put your tail back."
Ruan Liuzheng took a deep breath, with a hint of helplessness between her eyebrows, "To me now, the most attractive thing is not you, but the news you mentioned."
The expression on Xie Qingcen's face froze for a moment, and then an unconcealable smile blossomed at the corner of his lips.
The laughter was light and cheerful.
However, he took a deep breath and looked at Ruan Liuzheng with an indescribably complex look, a mixture of pleasure and slight anger.
In the end, it all turned into a sigh.
He raised his hand and pinched his brows, then said, "Ruan Liuzheng, you are really the terminator of romance."
Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Seeing this, Xie Qingcen had to put away his joking thoughts, and his handsome face was filled with seriousness. "Uncle Wen called and said your painting was selected. He will put your work in the center of the official exhibition in a few days, and he will recommend you to participate in the Chinese Youth Painting Competition to be held in a few weeks."
Yesterday was just the first day of Wen Jiming's art exhibition, which was a small warm-up. The truly heavyweight works, including their previous submissions, will be exhibited one by one in the exhibitions in the next few days.
But Ruan Liuzheng could only spare yesterday as she had to deal with work and also do illustrations for the magazine she had agreed to do a few days ago.
So I missed it regretfully.
She frowned, a hint of loss flashing across her cold eyes.
Seeing this, Xie Qingcen thought Ruan Liuzheng was struggling. He pursed his lips and said, "But whether you want to participate or not depends on your own opinion, but Uncle Wen has decided to give you the only spot he has."
Ruan Liuzheng came back to her senses, raised her eyebrows, nodded and said, "I will attend, and thank Uncle Wen for taking care of me."
The China Youth Painting Competition is considered the most important competition in the domestic art world.
Although she didn't have time to visit Mr. Wen's painting exhibition, the competition was held in a few weeks and she could still spare a day to attend.
No matter what, we can't let Mr. Wen down.
