Chapter 16 Shen Yi, you parvenu! Spendthrift!

Rong Qian was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn’t notice that Xu Yang had been staring at her.

And as the prices of the later auctions get higher and higher, the only “poor” Rong Qian couldn’t help but sigh: ” Jealousy makes me unrecognizable, all rich people ah!”

A middle-aged man in the next seat heard this and said with a smile: “This young lady, you are too modest, I see that the watch you are wearing is not cheap.”

“Huh?” Rong Qian followed his gaze, glanced at her watch. This was given to her by Shen Yi, is it very valuable?

The middle-aged man asked politely, “Miss, this watch of yours, can I borrow it to look at it?  I am a watch collector, and no one can identify watches better than me.”

“Sure.” Rong Qian was generous, took off her watch and handed it to him.

The middle-aged man was very particular and wore white gloves. He scrutinized the watch for a while, and an odd expression appeared on his face, “Strange, this is obviously a watch produced in the seventies, how can it be so new?”

“Do you know what kind of watch this is?” Rong Qian asked.

The middle-aged man nodded, “Of course, PATEKPHILIPPE brand, I saw it at a glance, your piece is still custom-made, the longer the age, the higher the value of the collection, there was a piece about the same watch as yours in the previous auction, and it was worth more than ten million.”

The middle-aged man couldn’t help but mutter: “I shouldn’t be mistaken, this is an old watch, how can it be so new?”

Rong Qian was dumbfounded. She had heard of this brand of watches, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions. Then this one in her hand was still customized, and the price could be imagined …

Shen Yi, you parvenu! Spendthrift!

Rong Qian is distressed by money; as a person who usually wears a watch of more than one hundred yuan, and felt it was too expensive. This watch is simply sky-high in price!

Seeing that the watch expert was still studying her watch, so as not to be seen by him, Rong Qian hurriedly took it back, and when she put it on again, Rong Qian suddenly felt that she had become “expensive”!

The conversation between the two, Xu Yang naturally heard it all.

Seeing Rong Qian’s reaction, this watch was obviously given to her by someone, and it is so expensive, who could it be from? Probably, it was a person of the opposite sex, right?

As soon as the auction ended, Rong Qian followed Xu Yang. When they came out, Rong Qian asked him where was the painting? Xu Yang said that the auctioned items were all delivered by the sponsor to the designated location requested by the customer.

“Then where will you send this painting?” Rong Qian asked very straightforwardly, without feeling presumptuous at all.

Xu Yang was also very straightforward, one dared to ask and the other dared to answer, “Send it to my second master.”

As expected, Rong Qian guessed it. Others may not know why Xu Zhiwei wanted to take this painting, but Rong Qian was very clear, he’s because, Yan Qingyao…

“Miss Rong, do you need to find a place to sit down and talk? How about going to dinner directly?” Xu Yang looked at the time, it was past seven o’clock, just in time for dinner.

Rong Qian waved her hand, “Forget it, maybe some other time when you have a chance. I’ll just tell you here.”

They were standing in this location, a public square, and their cars were parked outside, Rong Qian intends to leave after talking to him.

“All right, then you can say it.” Xu Yang didn’t force her.

Rong Qian arranged some words and tried to get Xu Yang to agree to take her to see Xu Zhiwei, “You say you couldn’t figure out what I could tell your second master. About this matter, you will know after we meet. Of course, the premise is that your second master agrees that you will be present to listen to us.”

“Miss Rong, why does it sound to me like you know my second master very well?” Xu Yang’s words had a teasing meaning in it, after all, such a thing was simply impossible.

Rong Qian did not want to talk to him, she said briefly and concisely: “You just say it, just a word, are you willing to help me?”

“Miss Rong, I won’t hide it from you, my second master is in a private medical clinic, he’s old and relies on medication to keep him alive, he can’t leave his bed all day long, he hasn’t seen any outsiders since he retired.” Xu Yang did not want to lie to her.

Rong Qian understood what he meant, “Never mind, I’ll find another way.”

“I can help you.” Xu Yang said suddenly, Rong Qian paused, Xu Yang said with a smile: “Because, I really want to know, What’s the secret in that painting?”

Rong Qian raised her eyebrows, thinking that this Xu Yang looks honest on the surface, but his thoughts are still very meticulous.

Xu Yang asked her to go back and wait for the phone call. He had to go through some procedures and get the consent of some people before he could confirm whether she could go see his second master. Of course, the final decision was still in his second master’s hands.

Before leaving, Xu Yang asked Rong Qian, if she had any words to bring to his second master?

Rong Qian thought for a moment and said, “You tell him that a criminal policeman named Rong Qian wants to see him, and ask him if he still remembers a letter given at the banquet that year?”

“Letter?” Xu Yang did not understand.

Seeing that he wanted to ask, Rong Qian spoke up first: “You just tell him, the rest, no need to ask more.”

“Okay.” Xu Yang complied with her wishes.

The next morning, Xu Yang called Rong Qian, saying that his second master was willing to see her and asked where she was, and he drove to pick her up.

At that time, Rong Qian was already at the police station, and not long after that, Xu Yang drove over to pick her up.

Rong Qian went out on the pretext of doing business, and after getting in the car, Xu Yang said to her: “Actually, you couldn’t see him, my second master didn’t know you, until I said that sentence, the words you asked me to bring to him. My second master was stunned for a moment, and immediately said that he wanted to see you.”

Rong Qian was actually gambling, gambling that he still remembers her after all these years.

Xu Yang asked her curiously: “Miss Rong, what is your relationship with my second master? Or do you have any relatives and elders in your family who are related to my second master?”

Xu Yang had guessed that the only possibility was the grievances of the previous generation, and she was the messenger.

“Upon meeting, you will know.” Of course Rong Qian would not tell him.

Xu Yang nodded and didn’t ask any more questions, but Rong Qian asked him, “How much do you know about your second master Xu Zhiwei?”

“Which aspect do you mean?”

“As far as you know, about his past, or, his life experience.”

Xu Yang thought for a moment and said: “My second master has never married in his life.”

Rong Qian was a little surprised; he had been alone all his life because of Yan Qingyao.

Rong Qian suddenly remembered, the night when he planned to take Yan Qingyao to escape, what happened to him? Why didn’t he succeed in taking Yan Qingyao away, but instead let her fall into Shen Chi’s hands?

Rong Qian asked him: “Then do you know why he didn’t marry a wife and have children?”

“I heard from my father a few years ago, my second master has only ever liked one woman in his life. Although the woman had married someone else, he still couldn’t forget her. Later, that woman died, but my second master still didn’t marry.” Xu Yang said with emotion: “In such an era, if he doesn’t get married, you can imagine how much pressure there was; there was no place in the family. He later did business overseas, became a wealthy business tycoon, and only returned to the family when he was old.”

After listening, Rong Qian basically understood Xu Zhiwei’s life.

Rong Qian thought about it and asked again: “Then, have you heard of the Shen family?”

“The Shen family? Which Shen family?” There were so many people with the surname Shen, Xu Yang really didn’t know who she was asking about?

Rong Qian tentatively said a name, “Have you heard of Shen Yi?”

Rong Qian thought he would know something, but unfortunately, he knew nothing about it.

Just when Rong Qian thought she couldn’t get anything out of him, Xu Yang suddenly said: “Speaking of the people surnamed Shen, I heard that in the early years when my second master’s career was just developing, there was a surnamed Shen who had always given him a hard time, stirred up trouble, and often made trouble for my second master, not letting him have it easy.”

“That person, is his name Shen Chi?” Rong Qian spoke.

Xu Yang was surprised, “How do you know?”

Of course Rong Qian knew about the enmity between Xu Zhiwei and Shen Chi, no one knew better than her.
