Chapter 802
Shu Xia asked again, "What did he say? Does your mother still remember?"
Jiang Tu said, "She said my dad was talking to someone, saying things like 'I am willing to entrust the happiness of my children and grandchildren to you, and I will sincerely be your believer,' and sometimes my dad would even shout a few times. But these are the only things he has said these past few days; every night he says the same things over and over. So my mom is a bit scared, but my dad truly doesn't remember any of it at all."
After hearing this, Shu Xia fell silent.
"Could there really be some big problem?" He had heard about the things that happened in the homes of Ding Lao, Chen Lao, and another elder, and just hearing about them made one's hair stand on end.
If his family were to be entangled by these messy things, would he also end up suffering and ruined?
Jiang Tu was given a huge fright.
"Don't scare yourself yet. Take a look at this calligraphy; has it always been hanging here?" Shu Xia asked, pointing at a piece of calligraphy.
Looking at it, this painting also seemed to have some age to it.
In the center was the character for "faith."
The entire piece was filled with tiny patterns of various kinds, surrounding one small "faith" character after another.
At first glance, one would think this must be the ink work of a famous master, with remarkable calligraphy.
That was the impression in the eyes of others.
"I don't have much of an impression; it seems it wasn't here before. I have some of these calligraphy-type things at home too. My dad likes to collect them, and he usually likes to practice calligraphy at home, so I thought he wrote it himself. Could it be that there is a problem with this calligraphy?" Jiang Tu asked with some suspicion and fear.
He looked at this calligraphy, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't make heads or tails of it.
Anyway, he didn't really like these things that literati used to cultivate their character; if he had the time, he would rather drink some alcohol or find a woman to flirt with.
Just as Shu Xia was about to answer, the office door was opened.
Chairman Jiang walked in.
"Dad!" Jiang Tu called out first.
Chairman Jiang didn't look very happy. "Why did you come here?"
Recently, this good-for-nothing son of his must be up to some mischief.
Jiang Tu's mouth twitched. Knowing his dad looked down on him, he said speechlessly, "I invited Shu Xia over."
"Shu Xia?" Chairman Jiang's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked toward Shu Xia; he hadn't noticed her just now and thought she was a staff member of the company.
His eyes carried a bit of admiration.
Anyone who could be praised by old Qin Lao and old Gu must be extremely good.
"Chairman Jiang, hello, I am Shu Xia." Shu Xia smiled and introduced herself to Chairman Jiang.
Chairman Jiang responded with a chuckle and said 'good' twice.
Seeing that Shu Xia had just been looking at the calligraphy and paintings he collected, Chairman Jiang immediately walked over with a beaming smile. "I bought this calligraphy abroad a month ago. The first moment I saw it, I felt that this calligraphy and I were fated. Look at every 'faith' character here; they are all different."
The more he spoke, the more satisfied he was with the calligraphy he had bought.
Jiang Tu was just about to roll his eyes to the heavens.
His dad was still feeling smug, but perhaps the problem lay in this painting.
Shu Xia kept smiling, her gaze falling on Chairman Jiang's eyes.
When Chairman Jiang looked at the calligraphy and painting, there was light in his eyes.
It was genuine, heartfelt liking.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have hung the calligraphy and painting in a place where he could see it every day.
Jiang Tu felt a wave of annoyance. "Dad, stop talking. This painting of yours might have a problem."
No matter how he looked at this kind of calligraphy and painting, he felt it was an eyesore.
Not to mention that his dad had spent tens of millions to buy it back; he was simply more of a spendthrift than him.
Chairman Jiang glared at him. "What nonsense are you spouting? This calligraphy and painting is worth tens of millions; how could there be a problem? How many people have come to take a look and wanted to buy it?"
"This painting does indeed have a problem. It is fortunate that Jiang Tu discovered it early; otherwise, in another period of time, Chairman Jiang would either have senile dementia or schizophrenia," Shu Xia said bluntly.
Then she moved a few steps closer to the calligraphy and painting.
