[Rat cat] Mirror City

On the same night, different people always have different reactions.For example, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, after a long period of puzzlement and thinking, decided to let go and have a peaceful dream.

For example, Ding Yuehua's family, after the auction, their family ushered in a rare time to relax, and they went to bed early to prepare for the next period of relaxation.

In addition to getting the last piece of white jade today, he also got several good antiques. Pang Yan put the box full of antiques aside with satisfaction, thinking about how to sell these antiques.

Thinking about it, Pang Yan felt a little tired. The auction tonight made his nerves tense. When everything was settled, his tired nerves were howling and wanting to take a break, but the aftertaste of tension did not dissipate.

So even if he really wanted to fall asleep, Pang Yan couldn't completely relax his nerves and go to sleep.He habitually opened his eyes secretly and glanced at Song Qianxun.

Song Qianxun usually doesn't like to talk when he gets in the car, and this time is no exception.At this moment when he was sleepy but unable to sleep, Pang Yan would naturally want to talk to Song Qianxun.

Song Qianxun just leaned against the car window to get sleepy. Tonight, he spent a few hours in the crowded auction house. It was really eye-opening, but he couldn't get rid of the tiredness, so he leaned on the car in a daze. Doze off with the car door closed.

Just vaguely, he always felt that Pang Yan was looking at him.Shouldn't Pang Yan close his eyes and fall asleep at this time, to see what he is doing?

"What's wrong?" Song Qianxun pulled himself together and looked at Pang Yan.

Peeking at someone but being caught by the other party, Pang Yan coughed awkwardly, "You're awake."

"En." Song Qianxun responded calmly, sat up straight, and now there is still some time before returning to the hotel, Song Qianxun is ready to talk to Pang Yan.

It's just that Song Qianxun is not that interested in other things except history and archeology, so he doesn't take the initiative to speak up.

However, the scope of conversation between Song Qianxun and Pang Yan didn't go beyond this range, so even if Song Qianxun pretended to listen attentively, Pang Yan didn't know how to speak, and there was indeed nothing to talk about right now.

Song Qianxun looked directly into Pang Yan's eyes, and saw that Pang Yan's eyes dodged for a while, he sighed, and decided to take the initiative to open the topic, "Is it really all right?"

"What?" Pang Yan didn't know what to say.

"I'm confident that you can find a good buyer for other antiques, but you spent too much on this piece of white jade. Will your grandfather let you do that?" According to Song Qianxun, Pang The relationship between Yan and the Pang family is not very good.

As soon as Song Qianxun mentioned the Pang family, Pang Yan's complexion turned sour, "You don't need to discuss this matter, I will make up the rest of the money myself, what do I do, they have to pay for everything before it arrives." The point of meddling."

Seeing Song Qianxun mentioning that piece of white jade, Pang Yan remembered what he cared about before, "How long will it take you to get out the things inside this piece of white jade?"

"Instead of leaving it to me, you should hand this over to a professional." Song Qianxun took out the piece of white jade, turned around to face the car window and looked at the piece of white jade carefully.

"You can't do it?" Pang Yan moved a little closer, looking at the piece of white jade on his fingertip just like Song Qianxun.After staring at the white jade for a while, Pang Yan asked strangely, "It doesn't mean that there is another small piece of jade embedded in it, why can't you see anything?"

"It's normal if you don't see it." Feeling that Pang Yan was a little close, Song Qianxun sat up straight and moved closer to the car door, "The piece of jade is very thin, and it's hard to see clearly without professional tools."

Of course, Pang Yan also noticed Song Qianxun's unnaturalness, and only then did he realize that he was a little close to him.It seemed that he was uncomfortable, so Pang Yan immediately sat back a little, and put a distance between the two of them.

Pang Yan coughed dryly, and resumed the topic, "Could it be okay to leave this piece of jade to you?"

"It's not impossible." Song Qianxun replied in embarrassment, "Jade and other things are fine work anyway. I can help you make suggestions and provide you with insights in the antique world, but after all, people perform their own duties, and there is always someone who is good at it. What I’m not good at. I really want to help you, but I don’t know much about jade, and I’m even more unfamiliar with jade cutting. If you entrust this matter to me, it will not only take a long time, but it is likely to It will damage the jade piece."

Song Qianxun thoroughly explained the inappropriateness of Pang Yan handing over the jade piece to him for cutting, "You don't have so much time to wait for me, so you wouldn't be willing to take this risk, would you?"

Seeing that Pang Yan was still in deep thought, Song Qianxun took advantage of the opportunity to put the white jade back into the wooden box, and put the wooden box back into Pang Yan's hand, "You'd better find someone you trust, I'll help you with this matter." Not yours."

Pang Yan silently put the box in his hand, seriously considering Song Qianxun's proposal, but after a while, Pang Yan handed the box to Song Qianxun, "No, the less people know about this, the better. I'm most assured of leaving it to you. I know this matter is difficult for you, but I can only trust you. "

You also know that this matter is simply embarrassing me?Song Qianxun sighed helplessly, and silently took the wooden box over. As for how to cut this piece of white jade, it will take him some time, "I can't promise you that it will take time."

"Although you do it well, I can rest assured of you." Seeing that Song Qianxun finally did not refuse, Pang Yan was also relieved.

For the rest of the time, Song Qianxun and Pang Yan had nothing to talk about, and the atmosphere in the car became awkward again.Song Qianxun closed her eyes, not wanting to continue talking.Pang Yan also turned his face away and fell asleep.

The car drove more smoothly and the speed slowed down.For a moment, Pang Yan hoped that the road would not come to an end, so he and Song Qianxun were allowed to rest in the car.

However, the car drove to the entrance of the hotel very quickly, and Pang Yan woke up the moment the car stopped.The moment Pang Yan opened his eyes, he saw Song Qianxun staring out the car window.

"What's wrong?" Pang Yan felt that Song Qianxun was a little too quiet.

Song Qianxun wiped away the fog from the car window, pointed out the car window and asked, "The car over there hasn't come before we left the hotel. The people there have been looking in our direction since just now, are they coming?" Looking for you?"

When Pang Yan saw the person Song Qianxun was referring to, his breath suddenly turned cold.Song Qianxun also felt it, and when she turned around, she saw Pang Yan staring out of the car window with a cold face, his expression became fierce unconsciously.

"You wait in the car." After warning Song Qianxun not to get out of the car, Pang Yan got out of the car alone and walked towards that person.The closer you get, the more you can see the face of the other party gradually clear under the street lights.

It was a middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s, standing there in a neat suit, exuding an aura that made it impossible to look up. Although Pang Yan knew that he was just a servant, he was just a servant of the Pang family, but Pang Yan still had to respect him, just because this man named Pang Xi had taken care of Mr. Pang for decades and was the person he trusted the most.

"Uncle Xi." No matter how reluctant Pang Yan was, he could only call him Uncle Xi respectfully.

"Well, you're back." Pang Xi looked at Pang Yan up and down, and nodded to him.Pang Xi's tone sounded so arrogant, he always appeared in front of him as an elder, and then showed his status in the Pang family with a calm and proud face.

Speaking of status, Pang Yan couldn't help but sneer. In the Pang family, Mr. Pang has the highest status. Maybe the next one is Pang Xi who is the most trusted by him, and he, the second young master... Heh, in the Pang family, even an outsider is respected. less than.

"Uncle Xi came to see me for something?" Pang Yan asked. Pang Xi was the person Mr. Pang trusted the most, and he usually followed him to help him with Pang's affairs, and almost never got the chance to go out alone. .

"It's Master's birthday in a few days, and there will be a banquet at home. Second Young Master, you have been out for a while, and it's okay if you don't go back. You still have to attend this occasion."

It wasn't until Pang Xi pointed it out that Pang Yan remembered that he had been away from home for a long time.Leaving Pang's house, I really didn't feel anything at all.

And before I knew it, it was Mr. Pang's birthday again.There was no need for him to attend that kind of banquet.But this is the order of Mr. Pang, so he has to obey it.In the Pang family, Mr. Pang is the highest law.

"Since grandpa has sent Uncle Xi to find me, I know how anxious this matter is. Of course I will go back to participate." Naturally, Pang Yan would not be so ungrateful. "

"It's good to know how serious the matter is." Pang Xi scolded coldly, "You too, and so does the young master. You will only cause these useless troubles."

Pang Yan had already learned to ignore Pang Xi's accusations and ridicule.If he had to keep every accusation and sarcasm in his heart, then Pang Yan would have been beaten to pieces during the decades he had lived in the Pang family.

Putting aside the accusations in Pang Xi's words, Pang Yan also knew another thing, that is, his elder brother Pang Yi was going back to attend Mr. Pang's birthday party.It turned out that he hadn't gone back for so long.

"Then please wait, Uncle Xi, I'll pack up my things and go back with you." Pang Yan turned sideways to enter the hotel, but was stopped by Pang Xi.Pang Yan was puzzled, "Uncle Xi, what are you?"

"Second Young Master, you don't need to go up. I've already had your luggage packed and checked out for you just now, both." Pang Xi said lightly, and opened the car door for Pang Yan.

Pang Xi's casual words were like a bolt from the blue to Pang Yan.Pang Yan put his hand against the car door and asked uncertainly, "Uncle Xi, I don't really understand what you mean."

Pang Xi sighed and was very dissatisfied with Pang Yan's question, "Second Young Master, I have already checked out the room for you and that Mr. Song, Second Young Master, please call that Mr. Song to get in the car immediately, we have to hurry back The Pang family."

Before Pang Xi got back into the car and closed the door, Pang Yan pulled the door again and asked eagerly, "No, Song Qianxun is not from the Pang family, so there is no need for him to attend grandpa's birthday party..."

"Master wants to see him." Pang Xi mercilessly interrupted Pang Yan's resistance. Seeing that Pang Yan still wanted to refute, Pang Xi warned him, "Second Young Master, Master asked me to tell you that if you want to continue your For business, bring Mr. Song home, the master wants to see him. Second young master, you don't want to resist the master's order. "

The atmosphere between the two became stiff between Pang Xi's words and words, sparks sparkled between the two people's eyes, and there was a tug-of-war, and this tug-of-war was destined to be Pang Yan's failure in the end.

Pang Yan slammed the car door angrily and walked back.Pang Xi ignored the loud sound of closing the door, but looked sideways at Pang Yan's back, and called out, "Second Young Master."

Just a soft sentence, just a soft sound, no matter how angry Pang Yan was, he could only stop because he couldn't resist him.

"I can take my own car." Pang Yan explained coldly, and walked quickly towards his car.

Pang Xi sat on the back seat, stared at Pang Yan's back for a long time, shook his head and sighed in disappointment, and said to the driver, "Let's go."

The car started, and the sound of leaving made Pang Yan stop.Just as Pang Yan turned his head, the car built by Pang Xi had already turned around the street corner and disappeared. The speed was extremely fast, and no time was wasted.

Pang Yan sneered. In Pang Xi's view, staying in this place was a waste of time.In other words, coming here to find him is simply a waste of time.

Back in his car, Pang Yan slammed the door forcefully, leaning on the backrest, trying to calm down the anger in his heart.In the quiet car, Pang Yan could clearly hear his heavy breathing, and he could also feel Song Qianxun's gaze that never left him.

How to do?

Song Qianxun had been by his side for a while, and Pang Yan naturally knew that his every move could not escape the eyes of Mr. Pang.

It's just that Mr. Pang has never said anything about his plan to start in the antique world, and Pang Yan also thinks that it is because Mr. Pang let him handle it.In the Pang family, as long as they don't bring trouble to the family, it doesn't matter what the children and grandchildren do.

Mr. Pang never cared about their actions, so why did he want to see Song Qianxun again this time?Pang Yan opened his eyes and looked at Song Qianxun.Why did grandpa suddenly want to see him.

Pang Yan's eyes were too oppressive, Song Qianxun stepped back a little, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Qianxun has always been with Pang Yan. For convenience, Pang Yan even let Song Qianxun live in his house, not Pang's house of course.Song Qianxun was basically active in her own home and Pang Yan's home, and had never had contact with other members of the Pang family.

"Qianxun, let's go back now. It will be my grandfather's birthday in a few days." Pang Yan told Song Qianxun the sad news, and sure enough, Song Qianxun's eyes widened blankly.

Song Qianxun frowned reluctantly, "Am I going too? I'm just in charge of helping you, so there's no need to meet your elders, right?" Song Qianxun wanted to get out of the car, "Why don't you go back first? , I can go back by myself." Now he just wants to rest in the room for a night.

"Impossible." Pang Yan forcefully persuaded Song Qianxun to give up, "Uncle Xi has already checked out our room and our luggage has been taken away. We can only go." The driver started the car knowingly, and there was no How long did it take to catch up with the car that I left before.

Song Qianxun frowned and leaned back in the chair, looking at the car not far from them, "Why did your grandfather suddenly ask to see me?"

"Hmph, you've helped me so much by my side during this time, it's not impossible for him to notice you." As soon as Mr. Pang was mentioned, Pang Yan's tone became a lot stiffer, "After you arrive at Pang's house, you Just follow me, stay in my room and don't come out."

Song Qianxun nodded and said nothing.

The already tense night became even more weird and unpredictable because of an invitation from Mr. Pang.Song Qianxun looked at the road ahead, it stretched all the way, infinitely, and he didn't know where it was going.
