Chapter 199: Ivory Tower
Liu Xianxiang left the Liu family's mansion, and Lao Xia, who was driving, of course saw the gloom on this son's face, and he didn't say anything, because Liu Xianxiang hadn't shown this expression for a long time.
was speechless all the way, and finally when the Mercedes-Benz Maybach stopped in the parking lot under Liu Xianxiang's high-end apartment, Liu Xianxiang finally spoke: "Lao Xia, you said that with me now, I can support this Liu family?"
Lao Xia frowned slightly after hearing this, this was undoubtedly a big problem for him, he needed to answer quietly while being able to get Liu Xianxiang's affirmation, and on the other hand, he couldn't be too exaggerated, he pinched and said: "To tell you the truth, Liu Shao, you can now be on your own, but this Liu family is too big, I have been in the Liu family for thirty years, and I still haven't seen through these grievances and grievances." ”
Liu Xianxiang nodded slightly, he patted Lao Xia's shoulder and said, "My dad asked you to be my driver, although you don't say anything, but there will definitely be complaints in your heart, you don't need to explain anything." ”
After Lao Xia heard it, he wanted to say something, but when he heard Liu Xianxiang's last sentence, he held back the words that had reached his throat.
"But you always remember that you owe me a favor to Lao Tzu, because in a few years, I will become the first leader of the Liu family. Liu Xianxiang said suddenly, this incomparably high-flying and domineering sentence, but Lao Xia did not feel how invincible Liu Xianxiang was, but in his heart for this young man a little more awe, perhaps unconsciously, Liu Xianxiang has grown to the height that he can not reach in his life, although it is still immature, but although the body of this tiger and leopard has not become a pattern, it has already had the air of eating cattle.
Liu Xianxiang did not retract his ambitious words, but turned around and walked to the apartment building.
Lao Xia looked at Liu Xianxiang's back in the car in a daze, and forgot to follow for a while, perhaps it was an illusion, at this moment Liu Xianxiang, he felt all the things on the man he followed back then.
The man named Liu Chengjin is also the first leader of the Liu family today.

Mercedes-Benz S350 returned to the courtyard, and at this moment, the family banquet was over, Yan Jingyu stopped the car and walked directly to the tea room.
Bai Wenshan, who had rarely drunk wine today, was boiling a pot of tea, and before he could boil it, Yan Jingyu walked into the room.
Looking at Yan Jingyu, who was in a hurry, Bai Wenshan said, "Have you seen Wei Jiu?"
Yan Jingyu sat down and said, "Wei Jiu seems to have known something, and there are some hints at me in his words. ”
"Unexpectedly, there is still a flaw, we have only one way to go now, we have to tear our faces with him, there is no other way. Bai Wenshan poured Yan Jingyu a cup of tea and said.
Yan Jingyu looked at the steaming pot of tea, and didn't move, just lowered his head and slowly frowned and said, "This is a big gamble, if the bet is lost, I'm afraid the Bai family will not leave anything." ”
"But if you win the bet, the Bai family will be glorious, you don't have to persuade me, I've come to this point, if I don't do this in the end, I won't be sure." Bai Wenshan took a sip of tea and said.
Yan Jingyu seemed to hear something else from Bai Wenshan's words, and he said: "If this matter is messed up, it is not something that you can settle with your old life." ”
"I know, I know better than anyone else, but the arrow has to be sent on the string, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves are shot to death on the beach, I will never allow the Bai family to become a victim of the changes of this era, and if I boil it again, I will enter the third generation, but I can't stand it anymore, so I have to do something." Bai Wenshan said, the purple sand cup in his hand trembled.
After hearing this, Yan Jingyu felt a little bit in his heart that he couldn't live if he wasn't crazy, maybe as an outsider, he would never understand how terrible this family's ivory tower was.
----
The night passed.
In the lounge of the underground boxing arena, the two men drank all night, and at the same time they both blushed and spoke, but their eyes were like mirrors, and they looked completely like people who had not been drunk.
These two people, one is a middle-aged uncle who has been on the top for many years, although he is sloppy in clothes, but he wears a gold chain with half a finger thick around his neck, a proper look of the momentum that an upstart should have, and opposite him is Zhou Xiaohu, who still has a bald head.
"It was really good to play last night, that arrogant boy, you have been beaten psychologically. Uncle Xie Ding threw a peanut into his mouth and said.
Zhou Xiaohu just smiled humbly, then drank the beer in front of him, wiped his mouth and said, "Boss, thank you for being able to reuse a guy like me these days." ”
Uncle Xie Ding, who was flushed with a red face, shook his head and said: "I should thank you, do you know how much money you have earned me these days? Don't think I'm talking straight, you are a piece of gold, I have been in the black boxing industry for seven or eight years, like a player of your level, I have seen a hand that can be counted." ”
Zhou Xiaohu was overjoyed without this lavish praise, his face was still with that painless expression, he turned his head to look at the sunny sky outside the small window and said: "Boss, if you want to drink in the future, call me at any time, but I won't fight." ”
After hearing this, Uncle Xie Ding slowly lit a cigarette, although he was more or less reluctant to give up on Zhou Xiaohu's gold-absorbing machine, but he knew that this man had made up his mind, and he muttered: "Live well, I know what you must have experienced before, but people live, whether they live in dire straits or live in thousands of cliffs, they have survived, after all, some people can't even enjoy this dire situation." ”
After hearing this, Zhou Xiaohu seemed to have a deep understanding, he poured a glass of wine again, drank it in one gulp and said, "I know." ”
Uncle Xie Ding flicked the cigarette ash, took out an envelope from his pocket, put it on the table and said, "You take this money, it is my last bit of heart." ”
Zhou Xiaohu looked at the thick envelope with a complicated expression, but he knew too much about the stubborn character of this Uncle Xie Ding, so he nodded silently and accepted the envelope.
Uncle Xie Ding poured a full bottle of wine again, but because he was really drunk, he didn't lift the wine glass, so he fell asleep on the table.
Zhou Xiaohu got up, looked at the drunk and unconscious uncle, and said sincerely: "Boss, thank you." After saying that, he strode away from the underground boxing ring where he had lived for a month, and did not turn his head to look back at anything, not that this place was not worthy of his nostalgia, but that he longed too much for the warm sunshine on his body.
----
From the rising of the sun to the setting of the sun, Liu Xianxiang, who had not closed his eyes all night, did not fall asleep, but just lay on the bed and felt extremely anxious in his heart, tossing and turning, and his mind was full of echoes of what his father said last night.
waited until nightfall, Liu Xianxiang, who had been tortured for a day, got up, and then changed into a brand new suit, the black suit he didn't like to wear on weekdays, put on a tie and looked at himself in the mirror, he washed his face a few times, and he was a little sober.
took out his mobile phone and made a call to Lao Xia, asked Lao Xia to prepare the car, and after packing everything, he sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the thirty-ninth floor, looking down on the city, watching the lights blazing, becoming this piece of red light.
For the first time, he felt a kind of irritability in this brightly lit city, lit a cigarette and inhaled deeply, at this time the mobile phone rang, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the caller number, which showed the word Xia Zhao, he frowned, and chose to connect the phone.
"When will you fulfill what you promised me?" Xia Zhao's somewhat resentful voice came from the opposite side.
Liu Xianxiang, who was already irritable, said impatiently: "I have more important things now, you will talk about this later." ”
Xia Zhao on the other side wanted to say something more, but Liu Xianxiang had already hung up the phone directly, and then when she called again, the other side had already shown that it had been turned off.
Lying on the bed, her hair was scattered, she looked at the ceiling with a desperate face, her phone fell to the ground, and her eyes did not tremble.
"The most poisonous woman's heart. Liu Xianxiang muttered to the mobile phone, but every time he thought of the charm of that woman, Liu Xianxiang enjoyed it, but before he could savor it, this beautiful dream was shattered by the cruel reality in an instant, thinking about who he was going to face tonight, all his interest was gone.
In the end, Liu Xianxiang got up and left.
Lao Xia was waiting downstairs early, he thought that Liu Xianxiang would choose a night club such as a bar, but after Liu Xianxiang got in the car and said the address, Lao Xia's eyes widened, as if he suspected that he had heard some hallucination.
Liu Xianxiang reported again, Lao Xia came back to his senses, and didn't ask anything, so he launched this Maybach and killed directly to the courtyard that was particularly famous in Xicheng District.
On the way, Lao Xia mustered up the courage several times and wanted to ask Liu Xianxiang why he went to that place, but every time he saw Liu Xianxiang's solemn expression, he held back the words that had reached his throat.
Eventually, Maybach stopped in the seemingly unremarkable courtyard, and Liu Xianxiang said to Lao Xia: "I'll come when I go, you wait in the car." ”
Lao Xia looked at Liu Xianxiang, who seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said, "Liu Shao, be careful." ”
Liu Xianxiang nodded silently and got out of the car.
When he walked to the door of the courtyard, the incomparably old wooden door had been opened, and it was Yan Jingyu who was standing at the door, he was slightly stunned after seeing that the person who came was Liu Xianxiang, but his expression did not change much, but asked: "Second Master Bai is waiting for you in the tea room." ”
Liu Xianxiang looked around at the courtyard full of ancient flavors, stepped on this high threshold, and his heart sank for a while.
