Chapter 700 The Ambition Was Discovered

Shi Lei was in a daze. He didn't expect Liu Zhen to use such an opening statement.

However, he quickly thought of one thing. China has a population of more than one billion, but there are not many people who are engaged in calligraphy and painting research and can make achievements in this field.

People in this type of organization often have various cultural exchange activities, and Chen Yaonv is obviously a leader in this field. It should be normal for Liu Zhen and Liu Qian to know her.

So, Shi Lei said: "My godmother's name is Chen Yanu."

"Teacher Chen Ya, the adopted daughter of Wu Dongbai's family?" Liu Zhen was obviously a little surprised. She actually came with some questions today.

Shi Lei was overjoyed after hearing this. As expected, Liu Zhenzhen knew Chen Yanu.

This is easier to do.

"Yes, she is my godmother."

I thought that Liu Zhen would also be overjoyed and even show enthusiasm for meeting an old friend in a foreign country. However, after Shi Lei finished speaking, Liu Zhen frowned and acted a little strange.

Liu Zhen is not a beautiful woman in the strict sense. Her facial features and figure can only be regarded as ordinary. She works at a desk for a long time, which even makes her body a little bloated. However, Liu Zhen is a very temperamental woman. The ancients said that her belly is full of poetry and calligraphy, which probably means this.

When Shi Lei saw Liu Zhen for the first time, he felt that she was like a teacher who had read a lot of poetry and books. She was kind and approachable, and her whole body had only pure air and no turbid air. He had only seen this kind of temperament in his godmother Chen Yanu.

Therefore, Shi Lei had a very good impression of Liu Zhen.

Of course, the same is true for Liu Qian. Although he is a man, it does not prevent Shi Lei from liking his temperament that is influenced by knowledge.

Such a person's brows are particularly stretched, as if nothing in this world can bother them. Everything is just a passing cloud, and only the mark left by the long history is their only pursuit in life.

Therefore, Shi Lei had never seen Chen Yanu frown before, and now he suddenly saw Liu Zhen, who had a similar temperament to Chen Yanu, frown. Shi Lei couldn't help but feel that this feeling was very strange.

Could it be that there is some misunderstanding and discord between Liu Zhen and Chen Manniu?

It shouldn't be. Chen Yanu is such an easy-going woman. With her personality, it is almost impossible to have a grudge with others.

Moreover, didn't Liu Zhen also respectfully call Chen Yanu his teacher just now?

So what's the problem?

"Are you really the adopted son of Teacher Chen Ya?" Liu Zhen asked in disbelief.

Shi Lei smiled and took out his mobile phone. There was a photo of him and Chen Yanu in the photo album.

In the photo, Chen Yannv was sitting on the sofa with him, holding one hand on the back of Shi Lei's head, probably stroking his hair. But his eyes were always on Shi Lei. Chen Yannu's eyes were full of the kind of pampering parents have for their children.

Shi Lei smiled slightly and stretched one hand forward, obviously taking a selfie.

From such a group photo, Liu Zhen could tell at a glance that the relationship between Chen Yanu and Shi Lei was extremely close. Although it was still impossible to verify the identity of the godmother and adopted son, Chen Yanu's words were full of doting and admiration. From the look on his face, Liu Zhen could tell that Chen Yanu loved Shi Lei very much. She is also a mother. Of course, it can be seen that Chen Yanu may really treat Shi Lei as a son.

Liu Zhen nodded, smiled, shook his head and said, "Maybe I really misunderstood."

Shi Lei blinked, realizing that there might be something self-explanatory here. Liu Zhen did not misunderstand Shi Lei, but based on her respect for Chen Yunv, she was unwilling to break through this layer of window paper. Perhaps, she was sighing in her heart at this moment, how could such a noble person as Chen Yanu have an adopted son like Shi Lei? Could it be that she was really a loving mother with many failed sons?

"Ms. Liu, if there is any misunderstanding, you might as well say it. Maybe it's not a misunderstanding."

Shi Lei's judgment was well-founded. Sun Yiyi could see that he was extremely concerned about the true shape diagram of the five stars and twenty-eight constellations. It was not surprising for a woman of Liu Zhen's age to see this. Liu Qian might not really notice it, but firstly, men are indeed inferior to women in this aspect, and secondly, Liu Qian is obsessed with learning and is basically a good-natured person who doesn't speak a word when it comes to human relations.

But Liu Zhen is different. She is a woman with an attitude, so she may have really seen some clues.

Liu Zhen seemed very hesitant.

Shi Lei acted calmly and didn't seem to mind Liu Zhen having any misunderstandings about him.

Liu Zhen was also curious about how Shi Lei could have such magnanimity at such a young age. His words just now were obviously heartbreaking. Sensitive people would be eager to know the reason. But Shi Lei's performance at this moment was quite unchanging despite the collapse of the mountain.

Since a young man could be so calm, Liu Zhen smiled and said: "That day in the hospital, I accidentally mentioned the Osaka Municipal Art Museum to Mr. Shi, and Mr. Shi showed great enthusiasm. Of course, Mr. Shi later I explained that because I wanted to see with my own eyes the true form of the five-star and twenty-eight constellations picture. But from the subsequent conversation, I actually found that Mr. Shi knew enough about this picture. What he didn’t see might be a thought. , but I will never show such enthusiasm. Moreover, I have observed some subtle things, maybe I am too sensitive. I always feel that Mr. Shi, you have a different ambition for this work than ordinary people. Yes, It's an unmistakable attempt to claim it as your own."

Shi Lei smiled and nodded without comment.

Liu Zhen continued: "To be honest, even if my lover didn't encounter any temporary problems today, I would still like to persuade him not to come. My lover rarely pays attention to these details. In his life, apart from family ties, he probably There is only one feeling, and that is for his knowledge. He originally wanted to refuse the entertainment from the Ministry of Culture. If he really wanted to refuse, the other party would not force him. But I still persuaded him to go, because I wanted to I need to talk to Mr. Shi alone."

Shi Lei continued to smile, still noncommittal.

"But since Mr. Shi is the adopted son of Teacher Chen Ya, I think I may have misunderstood. With Teacher Chen Ya's insight and knowledge, her adopted son must not be a person who covets other people's property. I'm sorry for having unfounded suspicion about Mr. Shi."

Shi Lei then waved his hand and said with a smile: "Perhaps Ms. Liu did not misunderstand anything."

Liu Zhen was not surprised, or in other words, her surprise all came from Shi Lei's frank admission.

"I do have a strong ambition for that painting. I just want to get that painting. To be honest, I am happy to see that the only person who came today is Ms. Liu, and your husband did not come. Because , I think Ms. Liu should be easier to communicate with than Mr. Liu in this regard."

"Although I don't like Miyamoto very much, I don't bother to steal other people's property."

Shi Lei stood up with a smile and said, "Let me show Ms. Liu something first."

With that said, Shi Lei walked to the closet, took out a painting tube from the closet, opened it slowly, and took out one of the scrolls.

"Ms. Liu, please palm your eyes."

Seeing the ancient look of the scroll, Liu Zhen's heart moved slightly. Whose work is this? What kind of work will it be?

Slowly unfolding the scroll, Liu Zhen's eyes immediately changed, becoming hot and surprised, unable to hide the feeling of extreme surprise.
