Beside the left hand side of the desk is a wall full of rosewood shelves. The old man's collection of treasures could originally fill these shelves, but now there are many empty spaces.
Mr. Lu took the square inkstone and placed it on one of the spaces.
"Lao Zhuang, I know the temperaments of these children. If they knew, they might cause even bigger troubles. Especially that brat, as long as he is involved with Wu Yatou, he will lose all his mind. Otherwise, I would have I won't send him out of the country. Too strong feelings will hurt others and yourself, how can the Lu family be left in his hands?"
Based on his memory, Uncle Zhuang placed the painting "Zengwu" sent by Shen Qingwu in its original position.
"But Master, you still made a mistake." He muttered softly.
The old man glanced at Uncle Zhuang, "Okay, you have the same virtues as that brat, so you don't need to remind me of this all day long."
"It's not that I made a mistake, it's that brat who is so unreasonable. The girl has forgotten him a long time ago. Who would have thought that he was just a young boy back then, but he has been thinking about her for more than ten years after being separated for more than ten years. Alas, the Lu family This generation is pure of love!"
"But they will know about this sooner or later. Master Yanxing thinks you did this to deliberately break up him and the lady, but the lady will guess it sooner or later, and you can't hide it."
"If you can't hide it, you have to find a way to hide it. If what happened back then is revealed, it will destroy them."
After the old man sat back at his desk, he asked again: "What's the reply from the people sent out?"
"They tracked that Shen Yuyao often contacted a number in the United States.
"who?"
"We can't find it. The identity information of that number is just that of an ordinary old man. We tried calling from other phones, but no one answered at all. It's probably a private number."
The old man narrowed his eyes, "Shen Yuyao has never touched her private mailbox?"
"No, sir, do you think she will trick you?"
"She said one month, so it's very possible that she set the deadline in one month, and the email will be sent automatically by then. You can't gamble on this matter, Uncle Zhuang, let the news get out."
Uncle Zhuang smiled and handed a cup of ginseng tea to the old man, and responded: "Yes. I still understand Young Master Yanxing, and his trouble just gave you a chance."
…
The breakup between Lu Yanxing and the Lu family caused a big fuss, followed by news that the old man was seriously ill and hospitalized. Commander Xia called Lu Yanxing back to the Xia family for training all night, and even Liang Ziqi and Song Sian were worried about Shen Qingwu.
Fairy Embassy in Van:

Bald Girl Seven: [Is there something wrong? 】
The computer beeps and says there is a new email.
Shen Qingwu clicked on it and found the photos and videos of red panda Ollie celebrating his birthday yesterday.
The sender is Lu Suisui.
At this time there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
"Boss, there is a guest outside..." Xiao Ou looked a little ugly.
"What's wrong?"
"It's Mr. Lu."
"He wants to buy a painting?"
"No, he said he has a portrait of Teacher Jin that he wants to put on consignment in our gallery."
"Okay, you will handle the procedures."
"Yes." Xiao Ou responded, but still hesitated.
"What's wrong? Do you still have questions?"
Xiao Ou laughed awkwardly, "Boss, Mr. Lu also bought Deng Ji's glutinous rice cake for everyone to eat. Well... do you want to eat it?"
In the past, when Mr. Lu was still the boss's boyfriend and fiancé, every time he came to the gallery, he would bring some of the boss's favorite pastries and share them with everyone.
Now that they are separated, he still comes to the gallery with the cold cake that the boss loves to eat. This is not what Sima Zhao wants.
"If you don't eat, you will be the one to decide on his business in the future, whether buying or selling paintings."
Xiao Ou nodded, "I understand."
It seems that Mr. Lu has no hope of pursuing his wife.
…
Six pm.
When Shen Qingwu walked out of the gallery, he immediately saw the tall man leaning on the door of the silver-gray ONE-77, smoking.
She paused and stood there with her lips curled up.
The man flicked the cigarette from his fingertips and strode to the woman's side.
"Your grandpa finally let you go?"
"Yeah." Lu Yanxing's eyes were dim and unreadable.
"What's wrong?" Shen Qingwu tilted his head, his wet eyes scanning the man's face.
The man reached out with his long arms and hugged the woman, "Xiao Awu, I found something, but you must promise me to calm down after reading it."
…
Lu Sui's Maybach parked opposite the gallery.
He watched with his own eyes as Shen Qingwu walked out of the gallery and got into Lu Yanxing's car. From the beginning to the end, she only had to raise her eyes a little to spot him, but she didn't.
That's right, she was like this before.
No matter what he did, all she saw was Lu Yanxing.
Lowering the window, the man flicked a small piece of the burned out cigarette holder from his fingers.
The next second, the Maybach drove away from the corner at extremely fast speeds.
Xu Tian walked slowly to the place where the Maybach parked just now.
She couldn't understand why this man was still thinking about getting back Shen Qingwu.
These days, she secretly followed him.
As long as he got off work from Huanshi, he would definitely drive to the Shen family villa and look at the floor-to-ceiling window of Shen Qingwu's room across the road.
Sometimes he would stay for hours at a time, not leaving until two or three in the morning.
But that woman was dirty, and the one she was hooking up with was his cousin.
Why can't he let her go?
The mysterious woman was right.
As long as Shen Qingwu still exists in this world, Lu Suizui will never let her go.
She can never truly be her double, either.
In the past, she loved to argue whether Lu Sui Sui loved her more or Shen Qingwu more. She even stubbornly believed that one day Lu Sui Sui would discover that it was her that he really loved.
But now she has figured it out.
As long as she could stay by his side, she was willing to be that woman's substitute.
She didn't want to live such a life of fear and hardship anymore.
…
Lu Yanxing's mountaintop villa.
Shen Qingwu sat at the desk, and the man stood behind her, placing his hands lightly on her shoulders.
"Are you ready?"
"Um."
The man quickly dialed the phone and said "DO it" in English, and the computer screen lit up.
The picture showed a woman in her fifties, blindfolded, being held down in a chair by several tall and strong white men, unable to move.
Even though she couldn't see her eyes.
Shen Qingwu still recognized this woman at a glance.
She could recognize this woman even if she turned into ashes.
In the past few years, she has been looking for her——
The nanny who was responsible for taking care of Shen Qingyan at the Shen family.
