Chapter 36: Brothers

Jian Bing cried and laughed, and the kicking and beating stopped after a while, and her gaze crossed Chen Zikun's shoulder to see Li Yaoting silently exiting the hall, and she couldn't help but wander away for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, and bit Chen Zikun the neck.

Chen Zikun was in pain and scolded: "You belong to a dog." ”

Jianbing did not show weakness: "Just bite Nong, how can you do it." ”

Chen Zikun looked back, the hall was already empty, so he simply picked up Jianbing horizontally with one hand and sandwiched it under his armpit and walked upstairs, the villa has a unique shape, the second floor has a living room, a piano room, a bathroom, a terrace and a bedroom.

Only one bedroom!

What is Jianbing's background, and his ability to observe words and emotions is far beyond ordinary people, Chen Zikun hesitated a little between her eyebrows, and sighed: "Your brother is really right, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have returned to my old business a long time ago." ”

Chen Zikun was stunned for a moment, waiting for her next step.

"This house was bought and given to me by Li Yaoting." Jian Bing paused and said, "After you left, a lot of things happened, the bank where I saved money closed down, and I had no money, and you had no news, I don't know if I was alive or dead, it just so happened that my former maid died in the river, and the people of the Axe Gang came to the door to blackmail, but fortunately, Li Yaoting taught them a lesson, and paid for me to buy a house, hired a servant, and respected me as a sister-in-law, if not, I will fall into the dust again, and you will have to be green at that time." ”

When he said this, Jian Bing heard a sigh in his heart.

Li Yaoting has a deep affection for her, how can she not know, if she were an ordinary woman, in the face of such an infatuated man, she would have thrown herself into her arms a long time ago, not to mention that she was still born in the dust, the is ruthless and the drama is unrighteous, the man is dead, and he is on good terms with the uncle, which is a matter of course.

However, Jianbing is a fierce woman who is out of the mud and not stained, and she recognizes that she must observe the festival for Chen Zikun, Li Yaoting did not make it difficult for a strong man, but took more care of her, bought this small villa on Xiafei Road for her to live in, and came to ask for peace every once in a while, but only sat down for a while and left.

A few months later, Li Yaoting told Jian Bing the news that Chen Zikun was still alive, and the smart Jian Bing learned from his words that in fact, he had always known that Chen Zikun was not dead.

But she didn't puncture it, let alone mention it in front of Chen Zikun.

……

In the courtyard, Li Yaoting sat quietly and smoked, and after smoking a cigarette, he stepped on the cigarette butt and slapped himself: "You are really useless." ”

"Big brother, how can you beat yourself?" A follower asked.

"Get out." Li Yaoting scolded angrily, who can understand his feelings at this moment.

He came from a humble background, his mother was a prostitute, and the etiquette, righteousness and shame should have been like a floating cloud in his heart, but playing the big drum and commenting on the books he listened to in the teahouse and book club made him pass five levels and kill six generals to Guan Erye, and Song Taizu's joke of sending Jingniang thousands of miles away is familiar, and he looks forward to one day he can become such a righteous hero.

During that time, his ideological struggle was very fierce, although Chen Zikun's letter was sent from Guangzhou, but the ghost sent the gods, he didn't show it to Jianbing, sometimes he would persuade himself, isn't it just a high-end fireworks woman, Da Kunzi can sleep I can't sleep?

But Jianbing's attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away made him sober up, how could he be an unkind and unrighteous person, on the one hand, reason prevailed, on the other hand, Chen Zikun had a letter sent from Hunan, Li Yaoting finally defeated himself, always polite and courteous, and did not cross the thunder pool for half a step.

Now that Da Kunzi is back, he is also relieved, thinking about what he has done, he is still quite worthy of his brother, thinking about this, he is relieved, he entered the small western-style building again, and said loudly: "Is there enough affection, I can go up." ”

Jian Bing appeared at the staircase with Chen Zikun's arm, his hair was a little unkempt, his face was slightly flushed, and he said angrily: "What are you yelling about, isn't this coming?" ”

Li Yaoting said: "I booked a seat in the western restaurant to pick up the wind for the eldest brother, and you are going to wear this?" ”

"Ah, I'm going to change my clothes, you wait." Jian Bing hurriedly turned back, Chen Zikun shrugged his shoulders, went downstairs to sit down in the living room, and chatted with Li Yaoting.

"It's only been a year, and you've developed, how did you do it?"

Li Yaoting said with a smile: "It's not thanks to Brother Jiang, I got some money to speculate in stocks with him, and it was distributed overnight, which is like a dream." ”

It turned out that Shanghai had set up a securities exchange, trading securities, cotton yarn, cloth, gold and silver, grain and oil, and so on, and the trading of the exchange was handled by brokers and collected commissions, while Jiang Zhiqing, Dai Jitao, and Chen Guofu set up a brokerage agency called Hengtai, which specialized in speculative trading such as "grabbing hats." Li Yaoting won the trust of the Russians, and embezzled the funds of the marble room for speculative transactions, and made a lot of money. Now Li Yaoting is already a well-known character in black and white.

Although Shanghai Tang is a paradise for adventurers, every bucket of gold carries blood and gunsmoke, which can be seen from Li Yaoting's increasingly mature speech and demeanor.

After waiting for an hour, Jian Bing put on her makeup and went downstairs, she had not dressed up for more than a year, she had a new look, bright and beautiful, and the cigar in Li Yaoting's mouth almost fell off.

Chen Zikun was also dumbfounded, his own woman dressed up, and she was really gorgeous.

Jian Bing was very satisfied with this effect, went downstairs, held Chen Zikun with one hand, and Li Yaoting with the other, and said sweetly: "Let's go." ”

Lunch was eaten at a French restaurant on Xiafei Road, and when Chen Zikun said that he was going to take a boat to Europe every few days, Jianbing's eyes immediately lit up: "Isn't that going to be a costume?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "I made a few clothes when I was in Beijing, so I don't need to, and the time is also tight. ”

Where is Jianbing willing to follow, said: "Look at this suit on your body, the sleeves are so long, the shirt can't be exposed, and the shoulder pads are soft, the tailors in Beijing are not as good as those in Ala Shanghai, no, you must make a few sets of foreign clothes to go abroad, at least a dozen shirts, as well as socks and leather shoes, you have to find someone to customize, you don't have to be sad, I will arrange it." ”

When it comes to catching up with fashion and making new clothes, that is Jianbing's strong point, and immediately dragged Chen Zikun and Li Yaoting to a familiar tailor's shop, Jianbing is a man of the year in Shanghai, although he has not appeared in the social circle for more than a year, but his fame is still there, and the shopkeeper personally came forward to receive him, so that the young man brought out countless fabrics for the guests to choose, and served tea, pictorials, and let the two male guests sit and rest for a while.

Seeing Jian Bing's busy and happy appearance, Li Yaoting felt a little lonely, and was about to go out to smoke, when he suddenly heard Jian Bing greeting: "Yaoting, you come to measure the size." ”

"Why am I still there?" Li Yaoting took out the cigarette and stuffed it back again, pretending to be surprised.

Jian Bing crossed his hands on his waist: "Sister-in-law helps you make clothes, don't you want to?" ”

"Yes, but I'm beautiful." Li Yaoting happily stepped forward and asked the tailor to take a tape measure to measure his waistline.

A total of white, light gray and navy blue suits were ordered, plus tweed coats, hunting jackets, shirts, gloves, socks, handkerchiefs, scarves and other small bits and pieces, the styles are the latest, and to be done urgently, there is Jianbing, an expert here, and the shopkeeper does not dare to ask for a price.

After paying the deposit, the three of them came out of the tailor's shop and went straight to the main road, where Jian Bing said that he would buy Chen Zikun gold watches, gold pens and other accessories in the department store

It was said that it was bought by the Jianbing Gang, but in fact, Chen Zikun paid for it, and now he is very wealthy, and the travel expenses given by friends from all walks of life in Beijing to Cheng Yi and the War Department add up to 20,000 yuan, which is enough for him to squander a little.

Said to buy a gold watch for Chen Zikun, but when he arrived at the department store, it turned out to be to buy jewelry for Jianbing, the salespeople in this kind of place are all human spirits, seeing that the two gentlemen accompanied a beautiful young lady to visit the store, and did not do their best to wait, Jianbing took a fancy to a diamond platinum brooch priced at 200 yuan, and even if he couldn't put it down.

Chen Zikun said without hesitation: "I bought it." As he spoke, he counted the 200 dollar bill.

The salesman flattered: "Sir, good eyesight, this is an Italian product, the only one on the beach." ”

As he was talking, a bewitching woman squeezed in behind, and when she saw the brooch on the velvet tray, she immediately screamed: "What a beautiful brooch, I want it." ”

Another boy in a suit and leather shoes came over and said with a grin: "If you like it, buy it and wrap it up for me." ”

Jian Bing couldn't help but look sideways, and said with a pleasant face: "Sir, we have already bought it." ”

Brother Gongzi looked Jian Bing up and down, with some surprise in his eyes, and said, "How much money did you buy, I will double it for you." ”

Jian Bing was neither humble nor arrogant: "I'm sorry, we don't give up." ”

The bewitching woman glanced at Jian Bing, probably feeling ashamed of herself, and even persuaded the son: "Forget it, let's take a look at something else." ”

But the boy didn't give up, his eyes were staring at Jian Bing, and he said with a smile: "I'm going to order this brooch today, even if you make an offer, this young master will take it all." ”

Chen Zikun was just about to step forward to speak, but Li Yaoting stopped him with his eyes and motioned for himself to solve it.

In fact, Li Yaoting couldn't bear his temperament for a long time, and the other party's eyes at Jianbing made him very unhappy, and his attitude of treating the two men as nothing was even more arrogant and a little underwhelmed, but in a public place like a department store, it was still inappropriate to fight, so he stepped forward with a dry cough and said: "Friend, it's good to help, we won't let go." ”

"What's the matter with you? Go away. Childe glared, and his voice raised an octave.

Li Yaoting's temper also came up: "Who are you, are you looking for a fight?" "After experiencing the wind and rain in Shanghai, the poor boy who used to pick up cigarette butts has faintly lost the momentum of a black boss.

"If you just move one finger of me?" Brother Gongzi didn't eat him at all, but bullied him forward, staring at Li Yaoting arrogantly.

Li Yaoting didn't laugh angrily, he has seen a lot of this kind of playboy, relying on a few stinky money in the family to spend money outside, especially like to put on music in front of women, and doing it with this kind of person is simply losing face.

"Go where it's cool." Li Yaoting scoffed and pushed him away.

Brother Gongzi said viciously: "You wait! "Turn around and go.

Li Yaoting disagreed, and asked the salesman to put the brooch into the box, handed it to Jianbing and said: "It's really not going well today, when you go out, let's watch a movie to get rid of the filth." ”

As soon as they left the door of the department store, four thugs surrounded them and blocked their way.

The boy got out of the car just now and said domineeringly: "If you don't kneel down for me today and admit your mistakes, don't think of this door." ”
