Second update please be pink!
☆★☆★☆★
Lin Zhaoyan went directly to the study room. Sure enough, as soon as he pushed the door, he saw Lin Chen lying around in the bookcase, with a bunch of paintings scattered on the ground, and many books were thrown everywhere.
"Father, what are you looking for?" Lin Zhaoyan stood at the door for a while, and finally picked up an open space and stepped in.
Although Lin Chen can throw these calligraphy and paintings into a mess, if she dares to step on her, she will have good results.
"A picture of the three friends of the cold in the year drawn by Mr. Cheng Xi." Lin Chen replied, turning back to greet Lin Zhaoyan and sat down casually, and continued to work hard.
Mr. Cheng Xi was a famous master of calligraphy and painting in the previous dynasty, and his calligraphy treasures were hard to find. This "Three Friends in the Year and the Cold" was obtained by Lin Chen spent a lot of energy and financial resources. He had always been carefully stored, so why did it disappear?
Lin Zhaoyan quickly put the scroll on the desk, then squatted and picked up the calligraphy and paintings carefully, then stepped forward and said, "I'll help you find it! Two people find it faster."
Lin Chen nodded and pointed to the bookcase on the east side, "You go there to find it, my father has almost searched it."
"Have you found all the painting tube?" Lin Zhaoyan asked.
Lin Chen's calligraphy and paintings were placed in very rules. There were paintings in the bookcase and books in the painting tube. Basically, he could turn whatever he thought of and then throw them away. If no one came to clean up for him, he would not clean up himself.
And there is really no second person in the entire mansion who dares to move his calligraphy and painting at will except Lin Zhaoyan.
Lin Chen was busy unfolding the dozen or so of the paintings he had just collected. Hearing this, he responded casually: "I don't know, just do whatever you want. If you look for them, your father will clean up all these paintings."
Lin Zhaoyan was speechless. He was like this, and I am afraid that there would be many servants and maids serving him who would laugh.
Who doesn’t know that every time Mr. Lin cleans up his study, he will throw away a large number of things and sell them, which is more than their annual silver.
"Don't, just look for it slowly." Lin Zhaoyan said: "Some things you seem to be worthless now. You bought them at a high price. If you throw them away like this, your mother will be angry with you again."
Lin Chen's inhumane fireworks and Liu's real smartness are very different. This is also the reason why the couple did not have much conflict but their relationship could never improve.
"Then I will give it to you and Ruo'er." Lin Chen replied indifferently.
All right……
Lin Zhaoyan silently lowered his head. He casually flipped through several scrolls placed in the bookcase and asked, "It is not a solution to find it aimlessly. Do you still remember the last time you saw that painting?"
Lin Chen also collected hundreds of paintings in his study. He would take them out to appreciate them if he had nothing to do.
Lin Chen frowned and thought for a while, "I remember it was placed in the bookcase here, but I just couldn't find it. If I hadn't thought about evaluating paintings with Brother Yan today, I wouldn't have thought of finding that painting for reference."
"Maybe it's because you sometimes copy that painting and accidentally get confused with the painting you painted." Lin Zhaoyan said, looking around the several painting tubes placed next to the desk, and his eyes suddenly fell on the celadon painting tube that was never easily touched.
She remembered that the last time Lin Chen put a picture he drew in.
This should be a painting tube that specifically places your proud works.
"Father, maybe I read the full text of Fantasy Westward Journey in the Inter-Server Battlefield inside." Lin Zhaoyan said, walked over a few steps, picked a picture inside and unfolded...
"Don't move those paintings!" Lin Chen shouted, rushed forward quickly and snatched the paintings in Lin Zhaoyan's hand.
Lin Zhaoyan was frightened by his sudden roar and movements. He hurriedly took a few steps back and almost fell down.
"Father..." She stared at Lin Chen blankly and couldn't react.
That painting. That painting turned out to be...
A woman!
Although she hadn't had time to see clearly, she was indeed a woman from her hair and clothing, and she had no impression of this woman at all.
It’s not Liu, not Aunt Wan, nor Old Lady Lin…
How could Lin Chen draw a strange woman? Didn’t he always abide by etiquette and never mess with things outside?
She always thought that Lin Chen was a rare good man in the old society. Even if he didn't like his wife, he was respectful enough and treated his concubine properly and could not find any mistakes.
But it was such a man she thought was almost perfect, but secretly drew portraits of other women in private, and the feelings seemed to be very deep.
Lin Zhaoyan felt indescribable. Although she didn't have much mother-daughter relationship with Liu, she didn't want another woman to live in her father's heart...
This concept is completely different from pampering Aunt Wan.
Once a woman possesses a man's heart, she can easily induce men to do something unreasonable. She is afraid that one day Lin Chen will "popularize his concubine and destroy his wife."
"Zhao'er, yes, I'm sorry." Lin Chen's hand holding the scroll trembled slightly. He looked at Lin Zhaoyan's shocked eyes, knowing that she had misunderstood, but he didn't know how to explain.
"I'm fine." Lin Zhaoyan had calmed down. She reached out and pushed away the bangs on her forehead, breathed in and said, "Does my mother know?"
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "She knows."
Lin Zhaoyan widened his eyes in surprise. Liu knew it? She was worried for nothing. But what happened? Since she knew, why is the mansion still so calm? She had never even heard any wind.
Or is this happening before she was born?
But it’s too much to think about a woman for more than ten years. I’m afraid this woman will get married long ago!
Lin Zhaoyan wanted to ask, but she was an unmarried girl's house and it was not appropriate to ask about such things. She also felt that since Liu knew, she must know what to do. It was not her turn, a daughter, to worry about it here, so she nodded and said, "Continue to look for paintings. I just moved my father's things, I'm sorry."
Lin Chen saw Lin Zhaoyan suddenly calm down and was quite at a loss, "Zhaoer, are you angry with your father?"
"No." Lin Zhaoyan shook his head and pursed his lips, "My father is not a child, he has his own sense of doing things. Besides, you said that the mother also knows this woman. I believe you have coordinated it long ago, and Zhaoer will not make any judgments."
Lin Chen suddenly felt extremely sad and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
He really wanted to tell Zhaoer that "this woman" is your biological mother, the mother who suffered all the hardships in order to endure all the hardships. But now, because of a series of mistakes, it seems that she has become the "this woman" in Zhaoer's mouth, and her tone is even hostile.
Yes! No matter what, no matter how Liu doesn't spoil her, in Zhaoer's mind, she is also a mother with her blood relationship. How could she be kind to a woman who might steal her father?
Zhao'er is kind, but not without principles.
