Hong Kong is in full swing
Chapter 74 Scam
Winter has arrived and cold air has blown in, cooling the entire port. Although it is not freezing, the wind is still very cold.
Since that day, Huo Chuyan never went to Hollywood again.
Yu Wan would sometimes send him messages asking if he wanted her to come over, but every time she got no response.
It was as if she had been completely kicked out of his life and was no longer necessary.
Yu Wan didn't dare to go to his residence to look for him, so she could only inquire about the news indirectly. Bao Gui said that Huo Sheng was on a business trip.
On a business trip... Where did you go...
The next afternoon, when she heard her colleagues chatting in the gallery, she learned that Huo Chuyan had taken Shen Ying abroad.
Yu Wan couldn't help but check the gossip website - Hong Kong Entertainment News.
I held on to a glimmer of hope that this could be proven untrue, until I saw Shen Ying update her Instagram status.
Next to it is a picture of a gorgeous necklace, accompanied by an ambiguous text.
To me, you are also unique.
The picture shows the Inparable Diamond necklace.
The younger sister next to him said in surprise, "Isn't this the necklace that Huo Sheng bought at the Christie's auction in the United States last time? I didn't expect it to be a gift for Shen Ying."
"So they are in love, right? Otherwise, why would they give such an expensive gift?"
"Hasn't there always been a rumor that they're boyfriend and girlfriend? After all, they both have such good qualities, it only makes sense for them to be together."
"Indeed, Shen Ying is beautiful, has a good family background, and has a good personality. She and Mr. Huo are a perfect match."
Yu Wan stood silently aside, opened Shen Ying's Instagram and took a look, then deleted it as soon as she finished reading.
Soon she posted two more cute emoticons, and there were comments below mentioning the doubts in her heart.
[Miss, is this the necklace that Mr. Huo bought at the Christie's auction in the United States?]
Shen Ying replied: Shh, don’t disturb others.
The answer was ambiguous, so Yu Wan continued to look through her recent updates, and vaguely saw the person she had been thinking about day and night from a few fragmented photos.
That's right.
They were indeed together.
The busy Sheung Wan neighborhood had no time to accommodate sadness. Suddenly, a loud noise broke the silence, and Yu Wan was so scared that her heart almost stopped for a second.
She looked up and saw that a shop across the street was being relocated and cleared.
At this moment, a gallery assistant ran over breathlessly, "Manager Yu, do you know what kind of store is going to open across the street?"
"what?"
"gallery!"
The competitor was right under her nose, which made Yu Wan a little nervous. She quickly contacted Wei Size and asked him to check the situation on the other side.
Wei Size rushed over immediately after receiving the call, and motioned for the two to go to the opposite side to take a look.
They walked around the store but didn't find any useful information, but when they went out they unexpectedly met a young man.
Yu Wan was surprised, "Master Duan?"
Duan Fei wasn't surprised at all when he saw the two of them. He smiled and said, "Come and see the new store?"
Wei Size glanced at the shop behind him, "Your shop?"
Duan Fei nodded, "Well, do some small business."
Wei Size chuckled, "Gallery?"
Duan Fei looked at him, "Do you have any objections?"
"Why would I mind? I'm not monopolizing this industry." He smiled and said, "I just want to know, knowing that I'm doing well now, why do you still dare to compete with me? What's your basis?"
"I told you that already." Duan Fei said with a smile, "I can invite Lan Guifang to make a comeback."
Yu Wan was stunned for a moment.
Duan Fei looked at her, "What do you think, Manager Yu?"
"Very confident." Yu Wan smiled.
Duan Fei smiled slightly.
After returning to the gallery, Yu Wan poured Wei Size a cup of tea.
Wei Size asked her what she thought about this.
“Fellow actors are enemies.”
Wei Size looked at her and said, "You are really straightforward."
There's no need to be so polite. Duan Fei went straight in to grab the market.
Wei Size stood at the front desk holding a cup, then looked across the street at Duan Fei and said, "Looking at his attitude, maybe he can really make Lan Guifang come back."
"impossible."
Yu Wan said firmly.
Wei Size raised his eyebrows, "Don't believe it?"
Yu Wan looked at him.
"Do not believe."
The news that Duan Fei invited Lan Guifang to come to the gallery to compete with Wei Size spread widely in the circle. Everyone was watching for fun, but in fact most people did not believe that Lan Guifang would really come.
Until one day, Duan Fei held a banquet in his mansion and invited many people to appreciate paintings together.
"Serving the Plum Blossoms" slowly unfolded, and everyone was instantly excited.
Wei Size and Yu Wan looked at each other, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
"This painting of 'Serving Plum Blossoms' was actually bought by Young Master Duan?"
Duan Fei explained with a smile: "It was an unexpected gain."
There was a sudden whisper in the hall.
With this painting as evidence, many people began to believe that Duan Fei was really able to invite Lan Guifang.
There were too many people visiting the exhibition, and Yu Wan was squeezed behind the crowd and couldn't see the details of the painting.
So, she grabbed Wei Size, who understood and dropped the wine glass on the ground, attracting everyone's attention. Wei Size smiled and apologized, "Sorry, my hand slipped."
The crowd dispersed, and Yu Wan hurried forward and looked at the painting carefully.
Although she hadn't seen it for more than ten years, the painting was still well preserved. She stared at every detail, even the type of rice paper and the flow of the ink.
The more I looked at it, the more it looked like the original painting from that year, but I always felt something was wrong.
Unable to tell what was wrong, Yu Wan was pushed aside again.
Not long after, Duan Fei said that in order to protect the painting, people could not be allowed to look at it for too long, so he put it away.
After the paintings were put away, Duan Fei began to talk about the future development plans of his gallery.
After listening for a while, Yu Wan roughly understood what he meant: although he also sold paintings, his main focus was antiques and cultural relics.
This positioning is completely different from Puzhuo.
There are many complicated issues involving cultural relics and antiques, and Yu Wan didn't understand much about them, so she asked Wei Size in a low voice.
Wei Size's eyes were a little complicated. He knew nothing about art, but he had a keen sense of business.
After taking a sip of wine, he asked in a low voice: "Do you think today's situation looks like a scam?"
Yu Wan's heart was shocked, and she suddenly realized that this was indeed the meaning.
After the dinner, the two drove back.
Along the way, Yu Wan kept wondering what was wrong with the painting, and what Wei Size said went in one ear and out the other.
Seeing that she was distracted, Wei Size drove her home silently. Yu Wan was completely immersed in her own thoughts. When she got home, she went straight upstairs without even saying hello. Wei Size could only shake his head helplessly.
Just as I was about to open the door, Baogui came out from the opposite side holding a bag of things.
Yu Wan asked him in surprise what he was doing, and Baogui explained with a smile that these old clothes were going to be thrown away.
Yu Wan responded blankly, unlocked the door with her fingerprint, and suddenly looked up.
She rushed into the room and leaned against the window, shouting down: "Wei Size! Wei Size! I know everything!"
Wei Size vaguely heard someone calling his name, and immediately looked up, and found that someone upstairs had half of his body leaning out and waving at him. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that Yu Wan was going to jump off the building, and rushed upstairs without hesitation.
