Chapter 16: The Journey of a Youth
Ameleng looked at the man in front of him: "Uncle Maple Leaf, is my grandfather finally going to tell me about that?"
Amei, who had a complicated heart, clutched the pendant hanging around her neck.
"In a sense, it's not too much for you to call me uncle. Amei, you calm down first, what I'm going to tell you next may make you feel pressure, even fear, but you have to remember that some people in this world are born with things that ordinary people can't understand. ”
Maple Leaf looked at the immature boy in front of him, and felt a sour feeling in his heart. After Amei left the Mei family's compound that day, Maple Leaf couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, because he had never seen the old man who turned his hands into clouds and turned his hands into rain.
So, as the confidant of the old man of the Mei family, Mei Qing's playmate since childhood, the old man told him about Amei's identity. And this made him happy and sad at the same time, because he was afraid that the tragedy of seventeen years ago would happen to Amei.
Maple Leaf, who came back to his senses, looked at Amei: "Amei, I know a lot of things you want to know, but I can't tell you." Because it's not time yet, but it's up to you to make yourself strong. And this is powerful, maybe you can't understand it now, but it doesn't matter, you will know it slowly. ”
"I won't talk nonsense with you, the master asked you to go to Yangluo, there is a large auction there, and there is something very important for our Mei family at the venue, but the master said that this time he will send Miss Mei Xiuqing to represent the Mei family. And you go and investigate the origin of this thing. The old man said, go to Yangluo, everything depends on your own creation, and he will not give you any help. Do you understand?"
Ah Mei listened carefully to Maple Leaf's words, and her mind couldn't turn around, but for this only relative grandfather, Ah Mei respected it from the bottom of her heart, so she nodded and signaled that she knew.
And the maple leaf left a small briefcase and slowly disappeared into the darkness,
Amei touched her pendant and said silently in her heart: Dad, Mom, Grandpa.
The next day. Amei took her large marching backpack and got on the bus to Yangluo. Although he now has an ID card to take the train and plane, Amei is reluctant to change his habits, even more because Amei met the smiling girl on the bus.
After a day and a night of driving, Amei finally arrived in Yangluo.
"Xicheng Auction on the 13th floor of Xicheng Hotel at 9 a.m. on August 5" This is a gilded card, which should be an invitation to the auction. In her briefcase, Amei found that in addition to this card, there were two other cards, one was a check from China Construction Bank with 2000000 written on it, and the other paper had a phone number written on it, as well as a sentence: If you encounter difficulties that you can't solve, call this number.
Ah Mei smiled dumbly, needless to say, this must have been stuffed in by her seemingly serious but actually naughty Uncle Maple Leaf. But it's a good feeling to be cared for.
Ah Mei walked out of the Construction Bank, touched the 100,000 yuan in her handbag, and sighed with emotion. A month ago, he was a poor boy with only 3,000 belongings, but now he has a huge sum of 100,000 yuan in his pocket.
"Hello, help me open a room for three nights, thank you. Ah Mei spoke to the front desk of the Xicheng Hotel.
The front desk looked at Amei apologetically: "I'm sorry, sir, because our hotel has been chartered this week, so we only accept some qualified people for the time being, so I'm really sorry." ”
Amei scratched her head: "You're talking about the Xicheng auction the day after tomorrow, Nuo, this is my invitation." Amei then handed the gilded invitation to the front desk.
The front desk took the card and looked at Amei with a surprised expression. The people who can get the invitation at the Xicheng auction are also multimillionaires and billionaires, who knew that this teenager who didn't seem to have the slightest upscale temperament could actually get the invitation.
"Hello sir, there is no problem with your invitation, then now I will take you to pick a room, and those who hold this invitation are free to stay in this hotel. ”
Amei followed behind the young lady at the front desk. All the way to the eleventh floor, Amei picked a room closest to the stairs. Then the front desk handed over the room card in his hand to Amei. "Sir, you can contact me if you need anything. The front desk squirmed and left.
Looking at the phone number in her hand that was shoehorned down by the front desk, Amei was speechless for a while. Then I started to organize my belongings and put water in the shower.
On the other side, Mei Xiuqing looked at her brother Lan with a smile: "Brother Lan, I didn't expect you to come to this auction this time, and you actually arrived on the same day as me, while there is still one day tomorrow, you take people to drag racing, I heard that there is a racing track near here." ”
And the young man that Miss Mei faced, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a handsome face, especially the two curved sword eyebrows, was heroic, no wonder the girl was so infatuated. Young Master Lan responded with a smile: "Okay, Sister Xiuqing, I'll see you tomorrow." ”
Lan Shao, who returned to the room, looked at the middle-aged man in the room and slowly spoke: "What, the old man is not worried about me, and he still sent you to monitor me?"
Middle-aged man: "Second young master, you have to know why this eldest young master is still locked up in the Lan family and is not allowed to go out." ”
Lan Feng glared angrily: "Of course I know, it's because my brother's heart is towards the Mei family, and he openly contradicts his father at the family meeting, wanting to sabotage what our Lan family has been plotting for a long time." ”
"Since you know, why are you still entangled with that Miss Mei family, have you forgotten your duties as the heir of the Lan family? If this is really the case, then presumably the head of the family does not mind changing a son to be the heir. After all, our Lan family is not like the Mei family, and the people are very prosperous. ”
Lan Feng sneered: "Do you really think that I really like that woman?" Joke, looking at the younger generation of my four major families, which one didn't come into contact with the family's business early to make money for the family, and she said it well, Miss Mei's family, I can't count the stupid things I've done since I was a child, I think it's estimated that Old Man Mei broke the jar and broke it." As for why I acted so close to her, I naturally had my plans. ”
The middle-aged man looked at Lan Feng in surprise: "Second Young Master, it seems that you are indeed much stronger than the eldest young master, since this is the case, then I won't say anything." ”
Watching the middle-aged man leave, Lan Feng sneered and looked at the invitation letter of the auction house in his hand: "Mei Lan Zhuju, the Mei family is like an autumn grasshopper now, and it won't be long before it jumps, and although the Zhu family heard of a genius Zhu Xingyu, it is just a superficial ordinary person in my eyes, as for the Ju family, hum." ”
In the Xicheng Hotel, Amei slept soundly, and he didn't realize that this would be a turning point in his bumpy fate.
In a room in the far corner of the twelfth floor, a young man with slender fingers was worshipping a ring reverently, only to see a Mo character engraved on it.
In the most central position on the eleventh floor, a man surnamed Liu, who looked like a ploppy but had a rich complexion, was fiddling with the gossip mirror, the yellow peach charm, and the detainment of Nan Nan muttering to himself.
The night is like ink, but it still can't dye the city black, and it can't wash the complexity of people's hearts.
