Kang Chengfu did have something to discuss with him. When he picked up the phone, he told him about it.
It turned out that Chi Guohua, the principal of Provincial Agricultural University, was still thinking about the mysteries hidden in the painting that Li Rui had given him. It had been two days since Li Rui returned to Qingyang City, but there was still no reply. He was anxious and asked his assistant, Kang Chengfu, to call him and urge him to hurry up.
Li Rui did not expect Chi Guohua to be so concerned about the origin of the painting. He was surprised and amused. He said to Kang Chengfu on the other end of the phone, "Help me reply to Principal Chi. Now, we can basically confirm that the female painter is Wenxing's niece, but we can't be sure if it's her daughter or niece. I'll ask her again later. At the same time, I'll change the painting for Principal Chi. I'll bring it to you the next time I go to the provincial capital. Please don't be anxious, Principal Chi. "
Kang Chengfu agreed. After thanking him, he hung up the phone.
Li Rui put away his phone and saw Yang Xiang looking at him eagerly. He was secretly amused and said, "Good girl, I have something to do, so I have to go. I'll visit you another day when I have time. Have a good rest. Don't be in a hurry to get out of bed."
Yang Xiang muttered, "I'm not in a hurry. I've worked hard for half my life, and now I can finally lie down and rest openly. I can't wait to lie down for a few more days."
Li Rui chuckled and said, "Is half your life so short? Only twenty years? Don't say that next time, you idiot! "He laughed and walked out.
Yang Xiang watched him leave with a look of disdain. After he left, a look of disappointment and loneliness appeared on her face …
Li Rui came out of Sea City General Hospital and did not eat. He took a taxi and rushed to Fragrant Ink Garden in the small street south of Cloud Lake Park, afraid that he would be delayed by eating. When he arrived, Wen Moshi had already closed the door and gone home.
After rushing to the entrance of Fragrant Ink Garden, Li Rui paid the fare and got out of the car. He had just taken two steps when he glanced at Wen Moshi's blue Jaguar car parked at the entrance. He was shocked to find that there was suddenly a scratch on the Jaguar's trunk lid and the shiny paint on both sides of the car. The scratch was very deep and very long. Not only did it cut through the paint layer, but it also went deep into the car from left to right. It was obvious that it was a malicious scratch.
Li Rui frowned. He felt that it was a pity, but he was also curious. What was going on? Was it done by an immoral person in passing, or did Wen Moshi offend someone and incur this terrible revenge? He walked to the back of the Jaguar and examined it carefully. Although it was not his car, he could not help but feel pity for it when he saw how badly it was damaged. Sigh, it was such a good car, but it was scratched like this. The person who scratched it was really crazy.
He shook his head, walked to the door, and pushed it in. As soon as he entered, he saw Wen Moshi standing not far from the west side of the door, listening to a young man in a shirt and trousers in front of her.
Wen Moshi's eyes were elsewhere, as if she was distracted. She did not see Li Rui, nor did she hear him enter the shop.
Li Rui knew that she was talking about something, so he did not greet her. He walked to the east wall, planning to admire the paintings on the wall first and talk to her when she was done. Anyway, changing the paintings was not an urgent matter, so it was fine to wait.
Who knew that the young man's voice was so loud that even if Li Rui did not want to listen, his words drilled into Li Rui's ears without missing a word.
"… The engagement is scheduled for the fifth day of the National Day holiday, which happens to be the eighth day of the ninth lunar month. My father asked the eminent monk of Tanzhe Temple to take a look. It's an auspicious day, and everything is very auspicious. It's very suitable for a wedding. "In addition, the renovation of the new house is almost done. It's decorated according to your design. When do you have time to come back to the capital to take a look and see if there's anything you don't like? "Also, I've already taken a look at the home appliances. They're all Japanese goods, and they're all pure imports. They're simple and elegant, fashionable and noble. You'll definitely like them …"
This man had a perfect golden voice that was comparable to singers and hosts. His voice was pleasing to the ears, making people who heard it feel a sense of worship from the bottom of their hearts. However, he was too naggy, or it could be said that he was too troublesome. He kept on nagging. Even though Li Rui was an outsider, he was a little tired of listening to him for a while. The admiration he had just felt for him was instantly swept away.
Li Rui understood the meaning behind his words. This person was Wen Moshi's fiancé. The two of them were discussing the engagement and the new house, but didn't this guy know that his fiancée was aloof and cold by nature? She was a little beauty who came out of nowhere, and she was also the niece of a famous painter, Wen Xing. Why would she care about these trivial matters in daily life? He felt that this man would not be able to get anything out of Wen Moshi.
Sure enough, he heard Wen Moshi say indifferently, "Everything is up to you. You can buy as many home appliances as you want. I don't have any requests. A customer of mine is here. He has something to discuss with me. You can go back first. "
Judging from her attitude, it was not like she was talking to her fiancé. It was no different from talking to a stranger. Li Rui sighed inwardly. As her fiancé, it must be very difficult.
However, Li Rui was also a little curious. She did not even look at him, so how did she see him coming?
The young man turned back to look at Li Rui and sized him up carefully.
Li Rui had already heard the conversation between the two of them, so it was not good for him to continue walking. He could only stop and smile apologetically at the man.
The man was also quite polite and nodded at him. Then, a helpless expression appeared on his face. He turned back and said to Wen Moshi, "Alright then, Shishi. I'll go back to the hotel first. I'll come and look for you tomorrow. You may be busy, but you have to take care of your body and rest more. "
Wen Moshi did not react at all as if she did not hear him.
The man smiled embarrassedly and turned to walk to the door. Before he left, he even nodded politely at Li Rui before leaving.
Li Rui observed that this man was about the same age as Wen Moshi. He was slightly shorter than him and was a little chubby. He had the face of a common son-in-law. Although he was not handsome, he was very pleasing to the eye. Moreover, he was very polite to him. He could not help but give him a high score in his heart. However, no matter how much he liked him, it could not change the fact that an ordinary man like him was definitely not worthy of a beautiful and refined little beauty like Wen Moshi.
But then again, marriage was too strange. It did not depend on whether two people were compatible or not, but whether they had the fate. Many handsome men were paired with ugly women, and many beautiful women were married to ugly men. Most of the time, the story of a perfect match could only be seen in ancient novels. Perhaps this was a tragedy deliberately created by the heavens.
After Wen Moshi waited for her fiancé to close the door and leave, she turned to look at Li Rui. Her feet did not move, and her expression was relatively calm.
Her beautiful hair was tied behind her head today, and two strands of hair hung down her temples as usual. She was wearing a white shirt, and her breasts were slightly perky. She wore a pair of loose black bell-bottoms and a pair of nude pointed high heels, revealing her slender feet. Her jade-like skin and nude shoes reflected each other, and her seduction index reached four stars. She was dressed in a standard and fashionable white-collar urban woman's outfit.
Li Rui saw her outfit and nodded secretly. This girl was really beautiful. She did not deliberately dress up. She was just casually dressed, and she was already dazzling and charming. Even if she stood next to Jie Yu, Jingjing, and Xuefei, she was not much inferior. If she dressed up carefully, wouldn't she be better than a fairy?
Li Rui saw that she was staring at him without moving, so he could only walk over to her and say, "Boss Wen, congratulations first."
Wen Moshi frowned slightly and looked at him with an unfriendly expression. She said coldly, "What are you congratulating me for?"
Li Rui said, "Congratulations on your engagement … I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with your fiancé, but his voice was too loud. I couldn't not hear it even if I wanted to."
Wen Moshi pursed her lips and said coldly, "There's nothing to congratulate about."
Li Rui did not realize that this topic was not to her liking, so he continued to worm his way into being friends. "I still have to congratulate you. You should congratulate your engagement, and you should congratulate your marriage even more. By the way, I don't know when Boss Wen will hold your wedding. If it's convenient, please let me know before the wedding so that I can be a good friend. "
Wen Moshi looked at him with disgust and said, "If you want to talk nonsense today, you can leave now." With that said, she turned and walked towards the stairs.
Li Rui was already familiar with her temper, so he didn't get angry. He smiled and followed her. "I almost forgot to ask. Boss Wen, how did someone maliciously paint your car? It's so horrible to look at."
Wen Moshi stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at him. She looked a little confused and slowly shook her head. "I'm not sure. This happened during the day. My car was still fine this morning. After I drove over, it was parked outside for half a day. I only saw that it had been scratched by someone in the afternoon."
Li Rui asked, "It seems that the other party has a lot of hatred for you. It was even scratched into the board. Usually, people who scratch cars will only scratch off the paint. Didn't you call the police to find out who did it?"
Wen Moshi shook her head and said, "I can't be bothered to call the police, and I don't have time to deal with the police. My car is scratched … I realized that you're still talking nonsense." With that said, her gaze suddenly shifted from his face to the door, and her expression became serious.
Li Rui looked back and saw a dog and a man walking by the roadside. The dog was a spotted dog, and the man was a tall and strong man with a disabled leg. His heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this the cripple he had beaten up last night?
Last night, he came to look for Wen Moshi. When the two of them went out, they happened to see the spotted dog peeing on the Jaguar's tires. Wen Moshi tried to reason with the dog's owner, but the dog's owner was rude and unreasonable. Li Rui helped her teach the cripple a lesson.
It was worth mentioning that the crippled man walked the dog from east to west last night. Tonight, he walked the dog from west to east. Moreover, he was a little late. It seemed that he had already finished walking the dog and returned.
"Actually, I suspect that he was the one who scratched the car paint, but I don't have any evidence …"
