Chapter 280: Chapter 280 She committed suicide...

"I knew there was a reason why you kindly asked me to dinner alone and inexplicably inquired about Guan Qi. You want me to help you out again, huh? Found it sweet when you got a deal on that house through me, didn’t you? Now with buying a painting, you’re planning on getting me to give you a discount?"

Lin Zhi: "...You saw right through me. You’re really something!"

"No use," Ji Feifan refused bluntly, "Guan Qi’s paintings aren’t just about having money, she chooses her buyers. She doesn’t sell to just anyone, and even if you tried to buy directly, she might not sell to you."

"What should I do? I heard her paintings are quite valuable for collecting. I remember there was one..." Lin Zhi suddenly paused, struck by a realization!

She remembered!

In her past life, when she was browsing the news, she saw in a related topic that someone mentioned a painting by Guan Qi had sold for fifty million. Unfortunately, due to her son’s issue, its value immediately dropped to ten million.

But her paintings had reached fifty million because... she had already passed away.

The painter’s death made her works more valuable.

Guan Qi had long been dead, passing away not long after giving birth to her child.

It was said she committed suicide...

Lin Zhi abruptly stood up, startling Ji Feifan beside her.

"What’s wrong?" Ji Feifan asked, perplexed.

"Do you think all artists suffer from depression?" Lin Zhi asked, looking at Ji Feifan.

Ji Feifan suddenly fell silent.

"Why are you asking this?" He inquired after a long pause, his voice low.

"Just suddenly remembered some articles I read, just asking..." Lin Zhi sensitively noticed his odd reaction.

Ji Feifan was wearing sunglasses, so Lin Zhi couldn’t see his eyes.

He spoke flatly, "Probably. Living too long in a fictional world, unable to blend into reality. Unable to accept reality, they might choose to end their lives."

Lin Zhi: "..."

Did Guan Qi also take her own life in that manner?

Lin Zhi didn’t know the true story behind her suicide; she was merely guessing based on her intuition.

"Guan Qi wouldn’t have had depression, right?" Lin Zhi asked with concern, sitting down again, "She seemed quite well to me, and I heard she did a lot of charity work. Someone so actively doing good deeds probably wouldn’t suffer from depression."

"Not sure. You seem quite concerned about her?" Ji Feifan shot back.

"I guess I feel a certain affinity for her, somehow I’m quite interested in her. Maybe because she’s so perfect, she catches people’s attention." Lin Zhi explained with a smile.

Ji Feifan nodded and said nothing more.

But soon, he lost the mood to continue fishing, and stood up saying, "I have something else to do, I’ll skip this meal, let’s head back."

"Ah? What about all these fish..."

"They’re yours."

Lin Zhi could tell, he had lost his appetite.

But why?

Had she inadvertently ruined his good mood at some point?

Without having eaten, Lin Zhi and the others headed back. Ji Feifan split off from her halfway, and she drove herself home.

When she was near the community, she unexpectedly came across Liancheng’s car.

Liancheng also recognized her car because her flaming red Ferrari was too eye-catching.

It was already evening by that time, Liancheng was probably just coming back from the company.

Rarely bumping into him, Lin Zhi honked her horn, and Liancheng’s car quickly came to a stop, as did hers.

"Is there something you need?" Liancheng, sitting in the back seat, asked her as he rolled down the window.

Lin Zhi had acted on impulse, but now that she had stopped him, it wouldn’t be right to back down.
