For a moment, Mu Wan felt the sky spinning like she had never felt before and felt that everything in her sight was tilted, and she collapsed as soon as she moved.
She stood by the wall for a long time before finishing reading the news. The news content is just a detailed version of the headline, so what happens after all?
What did Mei Yaozhi just say? Something had happened to Liu Qianxiu. Mei Yaozhi wants to meet and discuss in detail, so there should be room for turning around.
For example, the news she received was misreported that Liu Qianxiu did not die, but was still in a coma, was paralyzed, or became a vegetable.
Mu Wan’s hands and feet were cold, and her eyes were dark for a while. She supported her weak body on the wall to stand before she walked out of the crew.
Someone nearby called her, but Mu Wan ignored him as if calling her through the drum, with a reverberant response, and walked straight towards the entrance of the photography base.
She took a shortcut and walked over to the Republic of China section of the photography base. She walked through an alley, where the filming was in full swing, with harsh laughs from time to time.
Mu Wan walked with her head down. When she was about to reach the alley entrance, someone stood to stop her. The woman wore a blue cheongsam with a graceful figure and stood straight, holding her slender waist.
She raised her head and met Mu Qing’s smiling face.
An oiled paper umbrella was placed on top of her head, and even the slightest amount of sunlight couldn’t expose her delicate face. She stood there, holding a handkerchief embroidered with orchids in her hand, dignified and gentle, as beautiful as a person coming out of a painting.
However, no matter how beautiful people are, when they speak, they are caught in the smoke and haze of mortal dust, revealing vanity and pretentiousness.
“What’s the matter with you?” Mu Qing asked first.
She could see that Mu Wan was not very good as her pale complexion, moist and godless eyes, and even her usual blushing lips had become bloodless. Her long smooth curly thick black hair is like a soulless doll. When she asked that sentence, Mu Wan’s clear eyes remained unmoved.
Mu Qing knew why she was like this. She wanted Mu Wan to be like this. Seeing Mu Wan like this, she was full of pleasure. Mu Qing couldn’t hold back her upturned lips and didn’t even bother to act in a play. She looked like the needle that pierced a balloon, and the sharp needle pointed at Mu Wan’s weakest place and punctured it.
She wanted to watch her blown up and then destroyed.
“Oh, I heard that Liu Qianxiu is dead, and your protective umbrella is gone.” said Mu Qing while smiling, “You know who I heard from? Shen Cheng? No, it’s the Liu family patriarch.”
Mu Wan looked at her, and her eyes glistened.
Seeing the change in her expression, Mu Qing’s pleasure doubled. She looked down at her, and her delicate eyebrows were full of irony and hatred.
“Look, in just a week, and Feng Shui turns around. Your umbrella is gone, but my umbrella has been replaced by the Liu family patriarch.”
“Mu Wan, Mu Wan, you still can’t beat me in the end.”
After speaking, there was a pleasant laugh from Mu Qing’s throat, like a bird cry in the morning, but it was sharp and harsh in Mu Wan’s ears.
“Crack!” With a crisp sound, Mu Qing’s laughter was cut off.
“With this slap, I will hit you on behalf of Mu family. Destroy other people’s families, disregard morality, and be shameless and lowly.” Mu Wan said calmly.
Mu Qing shook her head as her cheeks suddenly seemed scorched by the heat. She looked at Mu Wan and suddenly laughed, her voice gloomy. Before she could fight back, there was another crisp “crack” as Mu Wan slapped her for the second time.
“This slap is to beat you for my man. The death of my man is inseparable from the man in your bed. Tell him that it’s best not to let me see him. If I see him, I kill him!” Mu Wan’s eyes were red and bloodshot.
“How dare you....” Two slaps attracted all the people in the crew to come over. Mu Qing cried out in pain. Regardless of her dignified image, she cried and shouted that she would beat Mu Wan.
Mu Wan was not afraid of her at all. She seemed to be crazy as she beat up Mu Qing hard. Mu Qing was kicked and knocked to the ground. Mu Wan was going to kick her again, but she was hugged by someone.
“Mu Wan, Mu Wan!” Mei Yaozhi hugged her from behind and left the crowd. There were taking pictures around, and Mei Yaozhi shouted coldly, “Who dares to take pictures!?”
Several people hurriedly put away their mobile phones.
After being hugged by Mei Yaozhi, Mu Wan seems to have recovered her composure instantly. Mu Qing’s cries and complaints were in her ears. Mu Wan coldly glanced at her painted makeup and a few footprints on the cheongsam. She then stands up straight.
Mu Wan went to kick Mu Qing just now, and she was so powerful that Mei Yaozhi almost couldn’t hold her. She suddenly regained her composure now, and Mei Yaozhi was slightly scared.
“Mu Wan....”
“Let’s go.” Mu Wan tidied up her clothes and walked forward without looking back.
Mei Yaozhi looked at her back, frowned, and hurriedly followed her.
It seems that today is indeed not a good day. Not only is the sky cloudy, but even Mei Yaozhi, who has always been chilled, also drove a black car.
“Is the news true?” Mu Wan sat on the co-pilot, looking at Mei Yaozhi, and asked.
She recovered her composure, but her face was still pale, and the red bloodshot on her eyeballs was particularly eye-catching.
“The news I have received so far is like this.” Mei Yaozhi said truthfully, “I contacted Uncle Cai, and Uncle Cai said that Qianxiudied of poisoning and is now undergoing an autopsy.”
There was dead silence in the car, and after a long while, Mu Wan responded with a light and soft sound.
“Oh.”
“Are you all right?” Mei Yaozhi’s mind is a jumble, and his family is also in a mess. When the news came, grandma cried and asked him to find Mu Wan. He was also uncomfortable, and he didn’t know how to comfort her.
“I am okay. Mei Yaozhi, I would like to go to the bathroom.” Mu Wan said, opening the car door.
“I’ll accompany you.” Mei Yaozhi got out of the car and said repeatedly. After speaking, he felt stupid too. He kicked the wheel and said, “I’ll waiting for you outside.”
“Yeah.” Mu Wan agreed, turned around, and went to the public restroom next to her.
There was no one in the bathroom, so she walked into the uppermost compartment. She stood there as she felt another familiar warm current flowing out. Mu Wan took off her trousers, and she could see a patch of red.
She is menstruating.
As if she had no more support, Mu Wan squatted down. She felt that her heart was stabbed by thousands of knives, and her eyes were stinging with the pain. Her vision was slightly blurred, and the wet liquid was left along her cheeks.
She is not pregnant.
Liu Qianxiu was dead, and he didn’t even leave her a child.
Liu Qingyuan frowned tightly, strode to the door of the chairman’s office without knocking on the door, and pushed the door inside directly. Liu Fengmian was on the phone, his posture was casual, and his tie was removed. He saw his father so relaxed for the first time in so many years.
“Did you took the painting off to the black market?” Liu Qingyuan’s tone was not good, rushing and anxious, and his eyes were fixed on Liu Fengmian.
“Hang up first.” Liu Fengmian said with a light expression on his face. After hanging up the phone, he threw the phone aside and said, “How do you talk to your father?”
Liu Qingyuan was taken aback.
Liu Fengmian got up from his seat, the sky was gloomy outside the French window next to the desk, but he felt refreshed. Liu Fengmian took a cigarette, lit it, and talked to Liu Qingyuan, “He is already dead. What are you keeping the painting for?”
There are three paintings in hand, all of which were genuine works and were sold after bribing the sellers and buyers. The paintings were also bought at a high price, so how could they keep them in their hands and not get rid of them.
“What about the money?” Liu Qingyuan said with aggression, “It will certainly make people suspicious if so much money is added to the account.”
“Wash it out.” Liu Fengmian said lightly, “There’s a female star. I’m going to invest in movies and wash the money away?”
After all, Liu Fengmian is a veteran of the market, and no matter how fierce Liu Qingyuan is, he is no longer his opponent. Liu Qingyuan was taken aback for a moment, then asked, “You and that female star, are you for real?”
“No.” Liu Fengmian said, smiling afterward. “She is a bit like your mother when she was young. In order to achieve her goal, she can fight for everything.”
In a word, he doesn’t know whether it is praise or derogation.
However, this female celebrity was Shen Cheng’s former girlfriend. She had a meal at the Liu family’s house with Shen Cheng and hooked up with Liu Fengmian the next day.
It’s not that Liu Fengmian didn’t have any other women besides his mother, but stealing a woman from his nephew was incest, and his mother was going crazy because of this.
Liu Qingyuan’s expression was ever-changing. Liu Fengmian looked at him indifferently and said, “The Austria’s side gave news that Liu Qianxiu died. As his immediate family member, the position of the head of the family is mine. And now and even in the future, you are the only son I have. Think about it! All this will be yours in the future.”
Things are busy until the end. Isn’t it all for the Liu family’s position at the end of the day?
He settled down his expression, allowing himself to regain his respect, and even the corners of his eyes piled up with smiles. He nodded and said, “I see. Thank you, Dad.”
The Liu family was in turmoil because of Liu Qianxiu’s sudden death. But within half a month, the Liu family changed new blood. Liu Fengmian became the new head of the family. The Shen family was attached to the Liu family, and the stock went up and down.
Regarding Liu Qianxiu’s follow-up news, the Mei family did not hand over any further information. Grandma cried so much that Mu Wan went to console her, but she was the one who was comforted in the end.
That's... I'm a bit confused about the "lost auction items". So, the sellers and buyers of the item were bribed by LFM and co. to report that the item they received was fake and asked the auction house (LQX) to take responsibility (investigate) for it. BUT, they gave the items to LFM and co.?! Just how stupid are those buyers--spending huge money to buy extremely expensive item, got some small money to make false report, and have to give the item for that small money? Or, it only show how really extravagant LFM is in assassinating his own son. He spent huge money to buy the items from the buyers, spent some more extra money to bribe the sellers and the buyers, then after he resell the items, he throw the money away in failing project. And that's only the capital he spent to lure LQX away to Austria.
