Chapter Sixty-Nine: A Scene in the Red Dust Thank you for carrying the two jade pendants
Almost the entire hotel of the Lido has been wrapped, only the top six floors are still for guests, but they must also go through the security check of the bodyguards to take the sightseeing elevator, and they are never allowed to enter the main entrance, so as not to mix in the strips or other enemies on the road, and disrupt this reception banquet.
Mr. Ji came early in the morning to arrange the dishes and programs, all of them were personally seen in detail, as small as a plate is exquisite and invincible, when the waiter pushed the dining cart to add food and wine to each table, I found that there were many things I had not eaten, the color of the dessert was very attractive, and I couldn't help but taste it when I saw it.
Mr. Ji found my salivating eyes at the staircase, he picked up a piece of pastry decorated with canned cherries with his hand and sent it to my lips, I wanted to prevent being seen and embarrassed him, I was told that Mr. Ji brought a woman who had never seen the world of bullshit, and even the pastries had to be tasted in advance, I covered his hand and quickly opened my mouth to swallow it, this taste... Salty and sweet, soft and slightly crispy, indescribable feeling, very delicious, of course, still better-looking.
After Mr. Ji waited for me to swallow it all, he wiped the dregs off the corners of my lips with his fingers, "Is it delicious?" β
I nodded and whispered next to his ear, "It's delicious!" β
He smiled and asked, "Do you still eat it?" β
I licked my lips and thought I wanted to eat it, but I shook my head, "Just taste it." β
He laughed and scratched my nose, "Gluttonous cat." β
The feast is in the fountain hall on the second floor of the Lido Hotel with the best panoramic scenery, the overall layout is splendid, very magnificent, thirty tables are opened, it is the kind of rectangular table, except for the first row is to sit two people, and then the second to fifth rows can accommodate four people, even the deputy bodyguard brought by Uncle Nine also has seats, which shows that he attaches great importance to it, of course, Mr. Ji as the arranger, it is difficult to say whether he really attaches importance to it in his heart, but he still gives a lot of face.
Hall Master He arranged for me to sit next to Mr. Ji, while he, Feng Xiaolian, and Biao Zi sat in the second row, at the table behind us.
Opposite is Huo Yanchen, the position next to him is empty, the first birthday round table, sitting alone Uncle Jiu, when he rolled up his cuffs, I saw a big gold bracelet, a few pounds in weight, the gram can no longer be described, it is hanging on his stout left wrist, there is a white light above his head, shining brightly, dazzling.
In fact, the market has long been a large number of diamonds and gemstones, but people who love gold, or take this as the mainstream, especially rich men, in the huge gold bracelet to pick a piece of one or two centimeters, embedded in jade agate, the better the color and texture, the better, that is the best status of the status of the show, but most of them are mixed rivers and lakes or overnight nouveau riche, is the noble white road businessman, generally will still hide wealth, such gold jewelry is relatively low-key.
After the four cold, eight hot and twelve dishes were served, Uncle Nine did not move the chopsticks, but directly put the wine glass up, Mr. Ji originally did not drink liquor except for entertainment, but Uncle Nine did not drink anything else except liquor, so he asked the waiter to pour him half a glass, accompanied Uncle Nine to do it, Mr. Ji was very unable to resist the liquor, after half a meal, the root of his ears was already a little red, he unbuttoned a few buttons, and instructed the waiter to turn on the air conditioning on his side, Uncle Nine asked Huo Yanchen what kind of business he did in addition to the Carmen Banquet, Huo Yanchen said, "Shipbuilding industry, a little dabbling." β
I looked up at him, and he hid this matter very deeply, and there were no rumors on the road.
Uncle Nine was very interested, "This industry is very profitable. How is it done. β
Huo Yanchen glanced at Mr. Ji, "I want Brother Rong to guide me, but unfortunately he is too busy to take care of it." I can only touch it step by step, I dare not say how much I have earned, and I have not embarrassed my father-in-law too much. β
Uncle Nine turned his head to Mr. Ji, "According to the seniority, Yanchen is your younger brother, where you should help him, don't be too stingy, and distinguish between relatives and distances, which is what I have been talking about." β
Mr. Ji's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his tone was gloomy, "Boss Huo also runs the shipbuilding industry, how can I never know, what I don't know, how to guide." β
After he finished speaking, he smiled at Uncle Jiu, "Uncle Jiu's tiger father has no dogs, Yanchen is cautious about this, thanks to Uncle Jiu's shadow, there are few people who know that he is involved in this area, he is not close to me, Uncle Jiu, you say, I can't catch up with him, after all, Jiulong will respect the elder and the young, according to the ranking, I am his eldest brother, can I be low." β
Uncle Nine accepted it with a smile on his face, he originally thought that Mr. Ji and Huo Yanchen were doing well in South China, and they were indispensable for private alliances and mutual assistance, but he didn't expect such a detached appearance and full of gunpowder smell, he no longer insisted on forcibly getting close, but picked up the wine glass and poured himself a drink.
"Rong Ke."
Uncle Nine put down the wine glass and called out to Mr. Ji, and he promised, "You command." β
"Do you have a fiancΓ©e?"
Mr. Ji stretched out his chopsticks to a plate of green vegetables, but he didn't clip it, but paused on a piece of asparagus, "I have any good news here, how can I hide it from Uncle Jiu, you didn't hear it, naturally you just didn't." β
"Then Miss Feng sitting next to Brother Rong, is it an ornament?" Huo Yanchen meant something, "Don't ask him, brother-in-law, Brother Rong easily doesn't talk about private matters with outsiders, it's been twenty years, don't you know his temperament." β
I heard that the spearhead was about me, and immediately lowered my head to cover my face, Mr. Ji very leisurely put the asparagus into the small dish in front of him, he took a bite and chewed it with a square handkerchief, and said slowly, "Boss Huo doesn't understand what a confidante Fengyue lover is." If you don't have a wife, you have to have a woman, so you are hungry and don't eat anything? Boss Huo and his wife are in love, and they don't also have a white jasmine by their side. β
When Huo Yanchen heard the last sentence, his whole face changed, and he immediately looked at the ninth uncle who was sitting at the top, who frowned deeply, and he didn't know what angered him.
Huo Yanchen was in a hurry to argue, he got up from his chair, "Father-in-law, there is nothing to do, I still have this bit of proportion, it is impossible to live up to your entrustment." β
Uncle Jiu's face was expressionless, he lowered his eyes and played with the wine glass in his hand, "Hehuan." β
Huo Yanchen didn't speak, he didn't know how to answer, Uncle Nine didn't buy his silence, his tone was a little more aggressive, "I asked you Hehuan, didn't you tell her that I came over." β
I leaned into Mr. Ji's ear and asked him who Hehuan was, his eyes flashed, and before he could answer me, or he didn't really want to answer me, suddenly the elevator door in the corner opened, and all of us heard the ding-look over, the door didn't move for a long time, and a few seconds later a woman came out of it, she was wearing a royal blue plaid dress, stepping on a pair of white high heels, she held a bunch of delicate yellow roses in her hand, and the white gauze hat on the top of her head was very large, covering half of her face, I deliberately lowered my body to see her face, but I didn't see it yet, she opened her mouth and shouted Uncle Nine, and the familiar voice suddenly stunned me.
It's white jasmine.
Where did Bai Jasmine have the courage, even Mr. Ji waited to greet her early in the morning, why did she dare to be late, and looking at Uncle Jiu's expression, she was not angry, but smiled deeply.
Bai Jasmine walked up directly and sat down next to Uncle Jiu, she put the yellow rose on the table, hooked his arm around his neck, and gave him a kiss, "Uncle Jiu saw that I didn't come to greet him, is he angry?" β
She poked her fingers at his heart, the rose-red nail polish was particularly beautiful, "Look at your gloomy appearance just now, I don't even dare to get out of the elevator." β
Uncle Nine took out a yellow rose from the bouquet, he put it under his nose and sniffed, "Why don't you dare, aren't you quite bold, just go, let the good second wife go, go to the inkstone field to be a courtesan, you will lose my old face." β
Bai Jasmine sneered, her expression was cold and indifferent, "What second wife, Uncle Nine will really put gold on my face, isn't it the second wife." β
"Not happy?" Uncle Nine pinched her face, Bai Jasmine directly turned her head away, with an arrogant look of throwing her face, Uncle Nine not only was not angry, but laughed out loud, "Rong Lian's health is not good, at this age, it is my duty to keep her at home for the rest of my life, after a lifetime of ups and downs, I will spoil you again, this point of affection cannot but be said." β
"Then wronged me."
Bai Jasmine got up directly from him, she walked to Huo Yanchen's side, sat next to him, Uncle Nine was dumped in public, although he didn't say anything, but the expression on his face was a little ugly, Huo Yanchen was very knowledgeable and took the initiative to relieve him, and raised the wine glass to toast, when they drank, I was also stunned After watching this scene, Mr. Ji was still eating asparagus, he liked this light dish very much, most of the plate was missing, I was surprised that he could still swallow it, and he ate it very deliciously, I felt that the truth of the matter was beyond the bottom line of my acceptance and understanding, and I asked him with wide eyes, "Isn't White Jasmine your former woman?" β
He didn't shy away from it, "Yes." β
"But why is this happening?"
I secretly pointed at Uncle Nine, "Did you see that just now?" β
He said he saw it, "Now she is Uncle Nine's woman." β
I grabbed my hair so hard that I was so funny that I squirted, "Share." Is Kowloon an organization like this? β
Mr. Ji peeled a shrimp with a tong, he put the pink and white shrimp meat in front of me and dipped it, and handed it to my mouth, I stared at the juicy shrimp meat, but I really couldn't eat it, I noticed that the white jasmine was staring at this side, I vaguely understood Mr. Ji's approach, I opened my mouth and ate it, although he has always been very good to me, but at this time I will not take anything about him seriously.
"Uncle Nine took advantage of my absence to deliver the goods, took the white jasmine, and occupied it to this day."
Occupy, plunder.
But I looked at Bai Jasmine just now, I saw her a few times, even in front of Mr. Ji, her gaffe and madness, her initiative and enthusiasm, her collapse and pleading, were not so joyful, coquettish and gentle.
Women probably have a mental journey, and few people can strengthen a belief, and they will become weaker and weaker with time, and they don't want to struggle, they just want to accept their fate.
What's more, the former Mr. Ji was just a hall master, condescending to others, even if Bai Jasmine was very unwilling to be occupied by Uncle Jiu, but when she was used to being a woman above 10,000 people, she would feel that there was nothing wrong with it, people were full of greed, and it was difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
Mr. Ji is not what it used to be, he is no longer the little old boy, he set off a rain of blood in South China, cast his own empire, he is younger and more handsome than Uncle Jiu, more manly than him, and Bai Jasmine's spring heart is rippling again.
She regretted her disloyalty to the relationship.
I finally understood why Mr. Ji was so resolute, and he lost the brightness in his eyes when he even mentioned her again.
There was only a trace of fluctuation left, and the clouds were light and breezy as if telling someone else's story.
I suddenly felt very distressed, what he experienced many years ago.
Women can cry in despair, but men can.
When he looked at his beloved woman lying on Uncle Jiu's bed, the feeling of his heart like a knife, did he still remember.
I held his hand under the table, and his fingertips moved, and I said, "I'll be with you, and I'm not going to do anything sorry for you again." β
When he heard me say this, he turned to look at me, "I've done that before." β
I smiled and grinned, "The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, look at your seriousness, it's boring." β
He laughed sullenly, Bai Jasmine sat opposite and drank quietly, she had already drunk many cups, Huo Yanchen couldn't stand it and wanted to snatch the cup from her hand, but she directly pushed his body away to avoid it, her eyes were flushed with crimson, "Uncle Jiu, I'll go back with you this time." β
Uncle Nine was slightly stunned, he put down his chopsticks and asked her, "Have you had enough?" β
White Jasmine snorted, "That's enough." β
Uncle Nine was very happy, "Are you willing to be the second wife honestly, without fighting, fighting, noisy or noisy?" β
Bai Jasmine sighed, she propped her elbows on the table and supported her forehead, "I didn't want to, Uncle Nine didn't know how to lift me up." β
"Acacia."
Uncle Nine shouted like this, and my whole brain suddenly exploded, as if something had been ignited, Hehuan.
Acacia... Acacia!
The courtyard is deep, and the withered acacia tree.
