Chapter 102: Heart and Eyes
Fortunately, Maomao only "played" with Tang Xu for two hours before she was discovered by Mr. Simingen who was passing by. He took her into the house and saved her from Tang Xu's clutches.
Even more fortunately, Tang Chengjia and Si Jiali did not "cause anyone to die."
But what surprised Maomao was that after Tang Chengjia was "comforted" by Si Jiali, he just stopped and completely let go of old man Si Mingen who obviously knew something.
Although I know that Mr. Simingen is very tight-lipped and will definitely keep pretending to be dead, there is a high probability that he will not say anything.
But Tang Chengjia didn’t even try, which was weird!
Or does Tang Chengjia already know something?
Maomao was very curious, but did not dare to ask Tang Chengjia rashly, so he could only turn his attention to Tang Hongjia.
She took a photo of the masterpiece and sent it to Tang Hongjia, asking him to help find someone to estimate its price.
Look, as soon as the bait was thrown, the fish took the bait.
Tang Hongjia immediately sent a message to Maomao, asking, "Where did you get this painting?"
Tang Jia answered honestly and candidly, "Ms. Mi Zhizhi had the delivery robot bring it to me as a return gift."
Tang Hongjia actually replied "Impossible" and rushed over in person.
Seeing the masterpiece, Tang Hongjia walked around it twice in disbelief, then with trembling hands, he lifted up the lower left corner of the masterpiece.
When he saw the thin ink mark on the back, Tang Hongjia took a breath and finally believed the fact that was hard for him to accept.
He smiled bitterly and muttered, "When I was little, I was very naive. When I saw the seal my uncle had given him, I thought that as long as I marked something I liked, it would belong to me..."
When Maomao heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
So, what Tang Hongjia tried so hard to get, she got without any effort?
this……
The cat's thoughts were all shown on its face, and Tang Hongjia understood it at a glance.
He raised his hand and rubbed the cat's head, and said with a smile: "I told you, that was a childish thought when I was little."
The cat slapped his hand away with its paw, and looked at him with suspicion and disdain in its eyes.
Tang Hongjia smiled bitterly and said, "Okay!
Seeing this painting fall into your hands, I still feel a little uncomfortable. But it has nothing to do with this painting, and even less to do with you, do you understand? It's a feeling of waking up from a dream, a feeling of emptiness in my heart, and it has nothing to do with you.
The cat understood, but also felt lost!
Judging from the direction of the plot, she might not be able to eat this melon anymore!
Maomao looked at Tang Hongjia, thought about Tang Chengjia who had not returned home yet, and looked at the painting again, looking embarrassed.
Tang Hongjia said with a smile: "I told you, it has nothing to do with you, why are you still looking so sad?"
"What does it matter, what doesn't matter?"
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind the two of them, scaring Maomao so much that he shivered.
The cat didn't say anything, but just quietly hid itself behind Tang Hongjia.
Tang Hongjia, who was completely unaware of the situation, recounted the entire incident in a careless manner. Tang Chengjia immediately understood what Maomao was thinking and unceremoniously lifted Maomao from behind Tang Hongjia and brought her in front of him.
"Cats shouldn't be too curious.
After all, curiosity kills the cat.
Besides, children should stay out of adult matters."
The cat turned its head away and refused to look at him.
Tang Chengjia put her in his arms with a mixture of anger and amusement, and rubbed her head.
The cat was so annoyed by him that it waved its claws and slapped his hand away.
However, the next second, Tang Chengjia's hand was placed on the cat's head again.
Whenever the cat moved its claws, Tang Chengjia would retract his hand; whenever the cat retracted its claws, Tang Chengjia would put his hand up again, perfectly applying the guerrilla tactics of "when the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy stays, I harass; when the enemy is tired, I attack; when the enemy retreats, I pursue." The cat was so angry that it gritted its teeth and let out a low "snoring" growl.
Seeing that the cat was really angry, Tang Chengjia reluctantly withdrew his hand and said seriously: "Since it is mother's wish, let's give it away!"
The cat moved its ears in disbelief, wondering if it had heard it wrong.
Tang Chengjia said affirmatively: "You heard correctly, I told you to send the painting as a return gift."
Maomao stared straight into Tang Chengjia's eyes, as if trying to confirm whether what he said was true.
Seeing this, Tang Chengjia raised his hand, rubbed the cat's head, and smiled.
“When the false is made true, the true becomes false; when the non-existent is present, the existing becomes non-existent.
It's been so many years since the incident happened, the older generation doesn't care anymore, why should I bother with it so much?
The cat lay in his arms, listening quietly without saying a word.
Tang Hongjia, however, felt something was wrong with the tone of the words and quickly asked, "What else is there to say about this painting?"
The cat tilted its head and looked at Tang Chengjia curiously.
Tang Chengjia rubbed the cat's head vigorously, then said to Tang Hongjia calmly, "This is a work that my mother has treasured for half her life. If you just drew something on the back of it, it would make her vomit for three days. If you give it away like this, I'm afraid... she'll regret it."
Is this true or false?
Why is the cat so unconvinced?
But that idiot Tang Hongjia not only believed it, but also nodded repeatedly.
Maomao rolled his eyes silently, feeling a little sympathetic towards his aunt. How could such a beautiful woman be so blind as to fall for such a fool?
Looking at his clever daughter and then at his silly brother, Tang Chengjia could only continue to fool his brother while rubbing Maomao's head heavily, warning her to hide her expression.
Maomao suddenly felt that the animal form was still too inconvenient.
No! I'd rather eat two steamed buns!
Maomao called Ram to make some hot steamed buns for him.
As for how her old father played with his beloved younger brother, that was the adults' business. As a child, she didn't care about it, so as not to get rubbed bald by her father.
After the first steamed bun was eaten, the cat felt only 70% full. But after taking two bites of the second steamed bun, the cat suddenly felt something was wrong.
Maomao threw the steamed bun to the ground, left Ram muttering "save food..." and so on, and ran towards his room like the wind.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the Tang brothers immediately chased after them.
Before the brothers could knock on the door, they heard a crisp banging sound inside the room.
Tang Chengjia gasped, and Tang Hongjia unconsciously covered his head.
Then, Tang Jia's long-lost voice was heard.
"Hiss~ I'm fine, please don't come in!"
Tang Chengjia nodded and said softly, "I'll be guarding outside and not letting anyone in.
Don't be anxious, take your time!"
Although Tang Jia agreed, he did not take Tang Chengjia's words to heart.
She simply grabbed a set of underwear and a set of training clothes from the storage space and put them on herself, and her sense of security was barely restored.
The little girl walked into the bathroom and treated the wound on her forehead in front of the mirror, then opened the door and walked out.
