"Thank you, Xi Muchen," Xia Wanwan said, thinking of the events at the charity auction, she couldn't help asking, "How come that LS painting ended up with you?"
"It has always been with me." Having guessed she would ask, Xi Muchen responded with a smile, "Many years ago, Mr. LS gave that painting to me."
"Gave...?" It was a gift? Xia Wanwan was somewhat surprised as she asked, "Someone gave it to you and you just put it up for auction? Isn't that a bit improper?"
"Didn't we auction it for charity?" Xi Muchen stated, "Mr. LS was always dedicated to charity work during his lifetime; if he knew that I donated this painting for charity, he wouldn't blame me. On the contrary, he would be very happy about it."
"I see..." Xia Wanwan looked at the man, "But then you had Lan Ye buy the painting back? Are you stupid...?"
