What Wen Liang didn't remember had actually been bothering He Tianran for several days.
Above the classroom, the boy was thoughtful.
While he was hospitalized, He Panshan told him that his mother would return to Hong Kong City in the middle to late this month. However, throughout October, He Tianran stayed in the hospital for half a month, and it has been almost eleven or two days since he was discharged. Seeing that November was approaching in a few days, he still had no news of his mother's return to Hong Kong.
In fact, this is not the first time. Since her parents divorced, mother and son have spent less time together and more separation. In addition, in the past few years, her mother has repeatedly promised to take time to return to China to visit her, but her expectations are always disappointed. The delay caused He Tianran to be extremely resentful, and in the end, He Panshan even had to come to reconcile it.
Now think about it, this kind of delay style is really the so-called not being part of the same family, not being part of the same family.
He Tianran paid great attention to his mother's return this time. The reason was not only because of Wen Liang's desire to gain the approval of both parents. The man also vaguely realized that his relationship with his mother seemed to affect his future disappearance. That part of the memory.
Regarding this, the explanation of the old monk Quan Ling is that if the long-cherished wish is fulfilled, it will naturally be forgotten.
This is actually very interesting. In this reincarnation, Wen Liang died because of his own death, Ai Qing died due to the influence of his own public opinion, but he became the one who survived.
The old monk Sophora flavescens in front of the Buddha wanted to rebuild the relationship between cause and effect, but this matter was deeply involved. It not only involved the love and hatred of three people, but if you want to trace the root cause, in the end you have to start with the story that shaped He Tianran's original character. Cultivation starts from the original family.
Although on the surface, all he needs to do is help Wen Liang and Ai Qing realize their long-cherished wish, which will end their entangled fate, but for him personally, does this count as a complete meritorious deed?
No, this is just an explanation for the two girls. In this reincarnation, He Tianran is the initiator, but he is also a participant. He also has his own long-cherished wish.
He wants a harmonious family, or in other words, he wants a reconciliation with his family.
Although He Tianran has forgotten how he achieved this point in the future, resulting in the disappearance of his memory, the various clues left behind make He Tianran have to prepare for the reunion with his mother.
There are three reasons:
First, in the future, Cao Aiqing invited the young man to meet him on Nanzhi Island. This was because he was entrusted by the young man. His purpose was to let the young man meet his mother.
This mentality is like a child who has done something wrong, and then tries to show his good side to his parents in exchange for forgiveness, but at that time, his mother is no longer willing to see him.
Second, since the memory fusion, He Tianran has no longer been looking forward to meeting his mother. This is a subtle change in emotion, which can be clearly felt. Logically speaking, even if He Tianran has resentment, he will never The reason why we should be so estranged is because before this, the mother still had great weight in the young man's heart.
Third, the death of Xie Yanyan.
In this way, when these three reasons are arranged, it is really not good no matter how you look at it...
…
…
Time came to noon before I knew it.
HKU, School of Architecture.
Today is Thursday, the only day in Cao Aiqing’s intense week of classes that she has no classes in the afternoon. It’s autumn and the sun is shining brightly. She has lunch, leaves the campus, takes Metro Line 9, and transfers during the process. After two visits and more than an hour, we finally arrived at the Modern Art Center located on the bank of the Tumo River.
When looking at exhibitions, almost architecture students will definitely do the same thing once or twice in their private daily lives.
Cao Aiqing did not come alone today. At the entrance of Area A of the art museum, she met her friend Bai Tingting, who had been waiting here for a long time.
Since Bai Tingting's normal university is not in a university town, it is rare for the two friends to see each other several times on weekdays. Come to think of it, the last time they met was in the hospital.
Cao Aiqing walked up to Bai Tingting, looked around, and asked, "Where is Xue Yong?"
Bai Tingting sneered, "Oh, there are classes, and even if he doesn't have classes, I don't want him to follow. It's annoying me to death every day."
"I'm bothering you? I didn't expect our little brother Yong to be quite clingy in private."
Cao Aiqing joked, Bai Tingting took her best friend's arm and said:
"What's so clingy? Last time, after I met his parents in the hospital, his mother called me directly for his monthly living expenses and told me to take care of his son. No, now Xue Yong spends his money every day He asked for money from me in a roundabout way, and I was convinced. I don't know where he learned a bunch of earthy love words from, and he could make up any weird excuses for me."
Cao Aiqing smiled, thinking that this couple was really interesting. Although Bai Tingting complained on her lips, her expression actually proved that the relationship between the two was very sweet.
"By the way, Ai Qing, why do you have an invitation letter for such a closed exhibition?"
When Bai Tingting asked this, she had to mention the exhibition they were going to see today.
In fact, this is not a professional architecture exhibition, nor is it an art exhibition that makes people confused, but an auction industry giant, Sotheby's auction house, on the eve of the upcoming autumn auction. Lot preview.
The exhibition is divided into two stages. The first is a closed exhibition, which lasts for two days. It mainly invites some media or collectors, VIP customers and potential customers to participate by issuing invitation letters and is not open to the public.
The second stage is a touring exhibition, during which some of the lots will be taken out and exhibited in various cities. Since it is for the public, the lots seen will naturally not be as rich as those seen in the first stage.
There are more than 3,000 items in Sotheby's autumn auction this time, including calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, gold and silver jewelry, everything from ancient to modern times, Chinese and foreign. Even though the exhibition is closed today, the invited collectors at the entrance of Area A have already lined up. There was a long dragon.
However, the invitation letter Cao Aiqing received was a media ticket. He could go directly to the media channel and bring three people with him.
This invitation letter was officially sent to Cao Aiqing from the University of Hong Kong by the Sotheby's auction house a few days ago.
She was a little confused when she first got it, but then she understood what it was about.
"It's not because of He Tianran, let's go in first."
Cao Aiqing said lightly. Bai Tingting knew that the relationship between the two was sensitive now. She said "oh" and stopped asking any more questions. The two girls walked into the art museum hand in hand.
In the huge exhibition hall, Bai Tingting was constantly amazed by the dazzling array of auction items. When passing by the jewelry area, she was even more amazed by a D-color oval white diamond weighing 55.5 carats. In the market, a 5-carat diamond ring can be jokingly called "Pigeon Egg", and the bare stone in front of you is eleven times as heavy as the "Pigeon Egg"!
It is true that although this level of things is considered the leader in this category, it alone cannot support the volume of an autumn auction. However, girls are not naturally resistant to such shining things. strength, so the two of them lingered here for a while.
"Ai Qing...how much does this cost..."
Bai Tingting asked curiously.
“If everything has a definite price, why have an auction?”
The quiet girl blurted out subconsciously, and her friend turned her head, "Just a guess. If you can't afford it, why don't you let me guess? I guess... I guess maybe... 10 to 20 million is about right?"
Cao Aiqing looked at the dazzling diamonds in the display cabinet and remembered a number in his past memory for no reason, and couldn't help but say:
"Probably... around thirty-three million."
And at this moment, a dignified and quiet, yet somewhat capable female voice sounded from behind the two of them:
"Girl, didn't you just say that if everything has a clear price, then what's the point of having an auction? So, some things can't be valued randomly."
This voice was very familiar to Cao Aiqing, but this was the first time she heard it in this world.
The two girls turned their heads and saw a mature woman standing behind them.
She had her arms folded and her hair tied up. She looked about thirty-five or sixteen years old. She was wearing a white shirt, a work badge hanging on her collar, sunglasses, and a pair of well-tailored straight pants. She was dressed simply. It also highlights his calm and capable elite temperament.
And this kind of attire and state are almost similar to the appearance that Cao Aiqing will show in the future.
There was a bit of astonishment on Cao Aiqing's beautiful face. At the same time, she was both surprised and a little scared...
The mature woman smiled when she saw this, thinking that the little girl thought she had said something wrong. She said:
"Don't mind, Mr. Cao. In fact, the price you quoted just now is almost what I expected. Do you know anything about jewelry?"
It was a casual question, but it was filled with a sense of oppression. Cao Aiqing didn't know how to answer it for a moment. At this time, Bai Tingting suddenly asked in a low voice:
"This teacher... you... do you know Ai Qing?"
The mature woman looked at Bai Tingting. She did not answer in a hurry. Instead, she looked around again, as if she was looking for someone. Her actions, set off by her own strong aura, did not even make the two little girls feel anything. Feeling the slightest offense, she looked away after a few seconds.
"I am……"
"I know you, Aunt Bai, you are He Tianran's mother,"
The mature woman was about to speak, but the little girl in front of her took a step ahead. This surprised her. What was even more surprising was that this delicate and frail little girl actually looked directly at her, showed a smile, and put her hand Stretched between the two of them!
After a moment, she smiled back and stretched out her hand.
"It seems that Tian Tian has told you about me. Hello, classmate Cao, I am the planner of this Sotheby's autumn auction and one of the auctioneers of this auction, Bai Wenyu."
The hands of the girl and the woman were holding each other in mid-air.
