Chapter Sixty-Eight: This Is My Woman
When I returned to the manor, I thought that Mr. Ji had gone to Jinyuan, thinking of putting the seal on his study table, and when he came back in the early morning, he would naturally see it, but to my surprise, he was still there, and he was already planning to rest.
He was sitting in the dining room in a nightgown, eating a cold vegetable with a fork, and there was only a shallow red wine left in his hand, he heard the door open and said to me that it was back, I changed my shoes, took off my coat and hung it on the hanger, I didn't walk over, but stared at him from five meters away, I felt that this person suddenly became extremely strange, his strategic city was so deep that I was daunted, even Huo Yanchen had not calculated him, a man who was too calculating was a sharp weapon that killed people without seeing blood.
I'm glad he didn't lose that batch of goods, and I also got what I wanted, although that medicine can't stop all my poison, but at least it can be less painful in the next drug addiction attack, I didn't hope that Huo Yanchen could be so generous, go directly to the root, I can't do things well, he can still give it to me, proving that he is still of great use in keeping me.
Since I have achieved my goal, human nature is greedy, of course I hope that Mr. Ji will not suffer, and in fact he did it, but I feel mixed blessings, he doubts me, this is what I am most afraid of.
It's a weird feeling to be suspicious of you, but not to poke it, as if nothing had happened.
Mr. Ji ate more than half of the fork and threw it on the plate, he took out two pieces of paper from the carton and wiped them on the corner of his lips, "Why don't you speak." ”
I took the seal out of the girdle around my waist, and I walked over and placed it on the table in front of him, "What you want." ”
Mr. Ji folded the paper and put it down, waiting for the nanny to come and clean it up, he picked up the seal, held it under the brightest light, and looked at it carefully, as if to distinguish the real from the fake, he looked at it for a long time, and did not show as happy as I expected, he just put down his face calmly and hummed to me.
I couldn't hold back, "Is this it?" ”
He said yes, and I asked, "Are you in a hurry?" ”
He thought for a moment, "It's useless. ”
This time, I was stunned, "It's useless for you to let me steal?" ”
He pushed away the chair and stood up, his dressing gown was not fastened, the belt was loosely wrapped around his waist, revealing a large area of his strong chest, and the jungle that stretched out to a very private part underneath, all looming in the light, I immediately moved away, I could not resist the temptation of his figure.
"I just want to see if you can succeed, it seems that Huo Yanchen is not defensive against you, but as far as I know him, his biggest characteristic is his heart, even if he sleeps with a woman next to him, he will be very vigilant, thinking that everyone in the world is plotting against you."
I was in a cold sweat when he said this, and he poked my forehead with a smile, "Okay, you are working hard today, rest early, and receive someone with me tomorrow." ”
He always chooses to fork when he gets to the key point, so that you are afraid to an unbearable height, you close your eyes and think that what awaits you is the hard fall, but he puts you back the way you came very gently, and you land smoothly, but cold sweat flows.
It's better to give a knife to the heart.
I squinted at the seal that had been discarded on the table, and was sure that Mr. Ji was testing me, that I had made a wrong move, and that I shouldn't have taken it back.
The next morning, Mr. Ji was not at home, he went out early in the morning, and listened to the nanny say that he changed his outfit many years ago when he was a troubled boy, I was surprised that the nanny actually knew Mr. Ji's past, she smiled and said that no one in South China knows ah, heroes don't ask where they come from, Mr. Ji is out now, and no one dares to mention those shady things in front of him.
After noon, the nanny accompanied me to the market to buy some fruits, I plan to learn to boil fruit porridge, boil the sugar, and make porridge for Mr. Ji to drink, he doesn't like to eat sweet, so he can bluff him to eat more, and when I came back, Master He was waiting for me in the living room with two bodyguards, he asked me to change into plain clothes, I asked him where to go, he asked me if Mr. Ji didn't say hello in advance.
I remembered what he said last night that he was going to receive someone today, and I handed the basket to the nanny who was carrying the heavy load, and I told him to wait.
I went up to the second floor and chose an off-white dress, with my hair simply coiled behind my head and fixed with a pearl hairpin, which looked very elegant and not too monotonous and old.
I followed Hall Master He into the car, and he told me directly without waiting for me to ask that he was going to the Lido Hotel to receive a well-known ninth uncle on the road, the founder of the Kowloon Club, the elders of Huo Yanchen and Mr. Ji, to be precise, all the elders of the current mixed rivers and lakes.
I was very stunned, "Mr. Ji is almost forty years old, how old is Uncle Nine?" ”
Master Ho said, "Seventy-three. He is the most yin, he was less than thirty years old, and he has been mixed for nearly fifty years now, and he has never been in trouble. ”
That's legendary.
The Lido Hotel is the premier seven-star hotel in South China Province, and it is also one of the few, two streets away from the Golden Garden, the Lido Hotel has only been open for less than four years, but it has become famous in the rich circle, and almost all dignitaries have stayed. The interior decoration of the Lido is somewhat modeled after the Golden Garden, so many people think that this is Mr. Ji's property, and as for whether it is or not, Mr. Ji's side has never clarified.
When we arrived, I saw Mr. Ji and Huo Yanchen standing at the front door in the car, they were an arm's length apart, no one paid attention to anyone, Feng Xiaolian stood at the back, talking to the etiquette in the hotel, and Huo Yanchen had no woman around.
Such a big battle, from a distance, looks like there are hundreds of numbers, like a group fight.
Hall Master He took me to the side and stood behind Mr. Ji, he didn't look at me, he still stood straight at the front, Hall Master He glanced at his watch, he leaned over and said in Mr. Ji's ear, "It's almost there." ”
Before he finished speaking, the bodyguards standing at the bottom of the steps suddenly said something from the walkie-talkie with a headset, and at this time, the ceremonial flowers on the heads of the stone lions on the left and right sides of the gate and the two strings of firecrackers hanging on the plaques suddenly set off together, and a hazy smoke immediately rose in front of them.
The street had been cleared, and every meter away stood a bodyguard, all standing straight, with their hair combed shiny, and I saw a number of identical cars suddenly appear at the crowded intersection due south, slowly moving towards this direction.
After the first firecracker was lit, there was a bodyguard to hang it up again, and it was ignited again, and I followed behind Master He, and my ears crackled and exploded, and next to me stood Feng Xiaolian, she was wearing a tight leather skirt, and her hair was tied in a ponytail.
She stared at the slowly approaching convoy at the street with an expressionless face, she was always so sad and unhappy, she and Bai Jasmine and Xi Qing were all well-known golden signs in the South China Flower Field, except for me, a young lady who barely mixed in with Jiang Huan, they were so unique that they were in a mess, Bai Jasmine would still lose her temper in front of Mr. Ji, this Feng Xiaolian is really an iceberg.
I sometimes wonder if she has no heart, how can her eyes be so dead.
I stretched out my hand and hooked the belt of the hall master in front of me, he immediately pressed his pants, thinking that something was about to fall off, I burst out laughing, he heard the laughter and tentatively touched my fingers, he frowned and looked back, "Miss Feng, is there something?" ”
I glanced at the front, "Why do so many people come to greet Uncle Nine?" ”
Hall Master He lowered his voice and told me, "Because Uncle Nine likes pomp and circumstance." He is the oldest in the road, even if he retires, this face junior has to be given, Mr. Ji and Huo Yanchen are young, they both grew up under Uncle Jiu, so they must be greeted in person. ”
I suddenly realized that the morality of the mixed rivers and lakes is true, but most of them are also very muddy, a little complacent in their achievements, and very few still remember what their roots are, Uncle Jiu must have a deep Taoism, and he has lowered a stubborn fox like Huo Yanchen to obedience.
The convoy slowly stopped at the foot of the steps, about a dozen cars, all lined up in a row, with no end in sight, occupying the entire road, and four bodyguards walked down each car, they were not wearing coats, only a pair of crisp gray pants, black short-sleeved shirts, and a dragon head tattooed on their exposed arms, and a very eye-catching and thick "nine".
Huo Yanchen personally walked down to the first car, the bodyguard opened the car door for him, he shouted to his father-in-law in the car, an old man in snow-white silk clothes stepped down from inside, his hair was black and hard, his lips were purple and thick, and a huge black mole grew on his lips.
He wears a pair of brown sunglasses on his face and a pear wood cane in his right hand, but he is not lame, nor is he too old to walk, it is just an ornament, a decoration.
He stood beside the car and looked up at the Lido plaque, at this dusk, the burning clouds moved south from the horizon a little bit, quickly changing shapes, the neon lights on the whole street had not yet been turned on, and the five golden characters of the Lido Hotel were illuminated by the setting sun.
Uncle Nine nodded with great satisfaction, "I haven't been to South China for nearly ten years, and it's changed." ”
Huo Yanchen said with a smile, "It hasn't changed at all, when my father-in-law arrives, I still respect you as heaven." ”
Uncle Nine laughed, Huo Yanchen held his arm, and carried him up the steps, Mr. Ji, who had always been motionless, finally moved a little, he bowed slightly, "Uncle Nine, you are in good health." "
Uncle Nine was very happy to see Mr. Ji, and he stretched out his hand to dust the non-existent dust on Mr. Ji's shoulder, in order to express intimacy and closeness, "How is Rong Ke mixed up." ”
Mr. Ji said, "Thanks to your Hongfu, it will be a shame if you don't give Kowloon." ”
Uncle Nine pointed at him, "Twenty years ago, I saw that you had a good future, and you really lived up to my expectations." ”
Mr. Ji's attitude was humble, "That is also the good teaching of Uncle Jiu, which paved the way for me." ”
Uncle Nine took off his sunglasses and handed them to the bodyguards who followed him, I also saw his eyes at this moment, my back stiffened, and I felt a chill rush from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, penetrating my whole body. It was a pair of very terrifying eagle eyes, the pupils were very cloudy because of old age, full of traces of time, but they were also so sharp that they were terrifying, as if they were a giant axe that could split the mountains.
Uncle Nine crossed over to Mr. Ji's side and glanced at it inadvertently, his gaze fixed on me and Feng Xiaolian, he squinted at her, "People from Jinyuan." ”
Feng Xiaolian said yes or not, and Uncle Nine was slightly stunned, "Do you know me?" ”
"Yes."
"I know it's still like that."
Uncle Nine seemed to have a trace of displeasure, people who were used to sitting in high places, couldn't listen to such disrespectful arrogance, and felt that the whole world should grovel, Mr. Ji was silent, only lowered his eyes and looked at the wrench in his hand, Feng Xiaolian still didn't have the slightest expression, "You are the leader of the Kowloon Society, and Mr. Ji should also respect you when he goes out, but I am an ordinary person, I am not afraid of anyone, no one is respectful, and no one is provoked." ”
Uncle Nine licked his lips, "What an arrogant little girl." ”
He smiled and asked Mr. Ji, "You woman?" ”
"Uncle Nine is joking, I don't touch the people in the field."
"I said." Uncle Nine looked at me again, I, the person who is most afraid of them, because I have suffered losses before, I have long been frightened, I don't even dare to look at him, Uncle Nine asked Mr. Ji Is this also from Jinyuan, Mr. Ji took my hand and pulled me behind him, blocking my face, "This is my woman." ”
Uncle Nine was silent for two seconds and laughed when he heard it, he still wanted to look at me again, but Mr. Ji had completely blocked his sight, so he had to give up this idea, "Yanchen has been married for three years, Rong Ke is your age, you really should hurry, no, Uncle Nine will be Zhang Luo for you, check for you." ”
Mr. Ji smiled and said, "When Uncle Nine reaches the age of retirement, I don't dare to trouble you and worry about me, I will take care of my personal affairs as soon as possible, so that your children and grandchildren will be full." ”
Uncle Jiu looked in my direction, and his tone was very serious, "I have been carefully cultivating for fifteen years, and there are so many young people under my command, so I have supported you and Yanchen, but not everyone is worthy of you." ”
Mr. Ji smiled and didn't speak, he always held my hand.
