Chapter 41 A Year-Ending Friendship(1/2)
Jiang Di didn't expect that Lan Ying would say such ugly things in front of Ji Yan.
If that's the case, then she doesn't have to worry about anything.
"You're right." Jiang Di spoke slowly.
Ji Yan beside him moved his ears almost imperceptibly.
"I really don't have that much money." Jiang Di raised his lips, "So, I didn't spend a penny on Mr. Qi's painting "Love at the West Lake"."
"How is that possible!" Ji Qinqin was the first to question.
" Mr. Qi is a national treasure-level master of traditional Chinese painting. His works are frequent visitors at auctions. How can you get them without spending a penny?"
Lan Ying felt that Ji Qinqin's words made sense. She pondered for a moment and then said: "Jiang Di, I don't like my daughter-in-law who talks nonsense. If you really didn't spend a penny, there is only one possibility. Your paintings are also fake.
!”
"Wow! After working on it for a long time, what you came up with is also a fake painting!"
Ji Qinqin stood up in anger, pointed at Jiang Di's nose and shouted: "Why did I lose face because of the fake painting, but you used the fake painting to win applause? I don't care, you must confess to everyone, your painting is too
Fake!"
"Sit down." Ji Yan gritted his teeth and said.
His eyes were very dark, as if there were waves surging inside.
"It's not enough for the Ji family to be embarrassed by you alone. You want to drag someone else into trouble?"
Ji Qinqin's face turned red after being scolded by Ji Yan, and she did not dare to talk back, so she had to sit down unconvinced.
When Jiang Di heard Ji Yan's words, he sneered. It turned out that he also felt that he would embarrass the Ji family.
Okay, then stop pretending.
She showed her cards.
Under the gaze of Lan Ying and Ji Qinqin, Jiang Di said nothing. He just took out his cell phone and clicked a few times.
Soon, the video call was connected on the phone.
An old man with white hair appeared on the screen, and his voice was as powerful as a bell.
"Xiao Di, thank you for remembering me! How long has it been since you came to visit me?"
Jiang Di turned his phone screen sideways so that everyone could see it.
Lan Ying and Ji Qinqin looked over, shocked.
Isn’t this Mr. Qi?!
Jiang Di actually has Mr. Qi’s WeChat account, and it sounds like their relationship is very close?
The two of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Jiang Di ignored the two people who were watching blankly and continued chatting with Mr. Qi.
"I've been too busy lately. I'll be here in two days. I'll play chess with you and water the flowers."
"Okay, okay! Don't fool me, an old man."
Mr. Qi in the video laughed happily when he heard that Jiang Di wanted to play with him. He was in high spirits, and his energy did not look like that of an elderly person at all.
After continuing to chat for a few words, Jiang Di hung up the video call.
She glanced at Lan Ying and Ji Qinqin, and she expected that their faces were pale.
"How is it?" She said calmly, "Are you being cheated out of money or using fake paintings to deceive people? Do you have an idea?"
Ji Qinqin was speechless. It seemed that she couldn't watch Jiang Di's jokes today. She suddenly felt bored and went back to the room without saying a word.
Lan Ying quickly covered up her embarrassment: "Look at what happened. Since you have such a good relationship with Mr. Qi, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Jiang Di smiled calmly: "You didn't give me a chance to speak. You started making groundless speculations as soon as you came up. I really can't even get the chance to talk."
Lan Ying laughed dumbly, but still had some doubts in her heart.
How did Jiang Di know Mr. Qi? I have never heard of her talent in painting.
"How did you and Mr. Qi meet?"
"We have been friends for years." Jiang Di's tone was calm, and his face was calm, but his dark eyes were like a pool of water in the deepest part of a cave, so quiet that people couldn't see the bottom of it.
In fact, she knew Mr. Qi two years ago.
That day, while she was playing games in an Internet cafe, an old man with white hair suddenly sat next to her.
Out of curiosity, Jiang Di asked a few questions and found out that the other person was a painter. He wanted to learn from young people and see how they used computer software to draw. But he himself had never used a computer, and neither did his children.
I was too busy to stay home, so I came to the Internet cafe to check it out.
Jiang Di felt that the old man was amiable, so she patiently taught him how to use the computer. For several days, she met him in the Internet cafe. After going back and forth, the two naturally became familiar with each other.
Jiang Di admired Mr. Qi's perseverance in living and learning. Mr. Qi felt that Jiang Di was much more patient with him than his own children.
As a result, the two hit it off and became friends forever.
It was just a painting. Jiang Di liked it, so Mr. Qi gave it to her with a wave of his hand.
But she was too lazy to explain so much to Lan Ying, because she knew that Lan Ying just wanted to embarrass her and make her laugh. No matter how much she explained, it would be regarded as an excuse and a lie, so it would be better to slap this person in the face without good intentions.
Grandma, shut up.
Lan Ying also felt that she had made a mistake today and wasted no time.
She pretended to hold her forehead: "I'm a little tired and want to take a rest. You can go and do your own thing."
After saying that, he returned to the room with the help of the servant.
On the first floor of the empty old house, only Jiang Di and Ji Yan were left.
The air was so eerily quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After a long time, Ji Yan coughed lightly and said, "There is still something to do in the company, so I'll leave first."
Jiang Di said "Oh" in a daze, and when the man walked away, she realized: "Hey! I came here in the car with you, and you just left me here?"
The sound of the car engine became farther and farther away, and Ji Yan did not hear her roar.
"I'm really convinced."
Jiang Di walked towards the gate and opened the taxi-hailing app.
Just then, Qiao Momo called.
"A Di, please accompany me later to return the leftover dog to Lu Shili."
"I'm at the Ji family's old house. I don't have a car. I probably won't be able to get there in a while. Why don't you just go by yourself? You're just a dog."
Qiao Momo said eagerly: "It doesn't matter, I'll drive to pick you up! My dear sister, just go with me! I don't want to meet that bitch alone. Only with you here can I feel safe!"
"Okay, okay, then come and pick me up."
Jiang Di wondered in his heart what kind of crazy thing Lu Shili had done to make Qiao Momo have such a big stress reaction.
Not long after, Qiao Momo parked the car in front of Jiang Di.
Gou Sheng sat obediently in the back seat, put his head on the car window, and said "ooh" to Jiang Di as a greeting.
"Get in the car!"
Qiao Momo drove Jiang Di and Gou Sheng on the road. Gou Sheng was half-blinded by the whistling wind. He kept eating the air in big mouthfuls, trying to catch the wind that came and went without a trace.
Jiang Di was amused by Gou Sheng's idiotic behavior: "Are you still used to this transition period? Are you still planning to buy a pet?"
Qiao Momo listened and waved his hands quickly: "Please forgive me, just the fact of taking apart your computer has left a psychological shadow on me. And you see, my clothes are all covered with hair! The water bottle at home
, the bed and even the air are full of dog hair!”
"I've only had you for a week and I've already persuaded you to give up? Gou Sheng is really not an easy person!"
"Oooh ooh-"
Gou Cheng seemed to understand what was being said in the back seat. He knew that Jiang Di was praising him and howled twice happily.
"Look at the way it plays. It's exactly like its owner."
Qiao Momo was complaining when he saw Lu Shili already waiting at the appointed place.
They got out of the car, and Qiao Momo handed the dog leash to Lu Shili's hands: "The original dog was returned. He was well raised. He gained three pounds and I lost six pounds!"
"You cut off your meat and feed it to eat?" Lu Shili's face was full of questions.
"I can't even pull him back when I go out. If I see a sausage in someone's hand, I won't leave. If I see a girl with fair skin and long legs, I'll run away." Qiao silently recalled the painful experience of the past few days, "Lu Shili, it's
I must be so lustful, I learned it from you!"
"Can you please stop throwing all the blame on me?"
Lu Shili frowned. Can't he really save his image in her heart?
He reluctantly called "William" and prepared to take the dog home.
But the strange thing was that although William saw him wagging his tail excitedly, he did not follow him.
