Chapter 35
The cowardly man is guilty of slashing his love, and the infatuated woman comes to the door to seek humiliation
Coming out of the general business association, Jeju found Ah Xiang, picked up his small belongings in the Lu family from him, carried them on his shoulders, and hurriedly walked into the angel garden.
The children had just eaten and were frolicking on the grounds.
Jerk's eyes lit up.
Among the children, there was a beautiful figure standing.
It's Ge Li!
Seeing the jerk, the children ran over and surrounded him, as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Jerk down your luggage, pick up one, put it down, pick up another.
Ge Li stood in place, her two big eyes staring at him, not moving.
Jerk walked towards her, and when he was a few steps away, he stopped.
Ge Li's gaze shot at him fiercely, not deviating at all, as if it was about to shoot through him.
Jerk down the child in your arms.
Ge Li looked away, looked at the luggage cover a few steps behind him, and smiled.
"You..." muttered Jerk, "what are you laughing at?" β
"Look like this, do you want to settle down here?"
"Yes. Miss Mai is gone, and people are inseparable here! β
"Hehe," Ge Li smiled again, "I'm afraid there is no place for you to sleep!" β
"Really?" Jeju smiled, "Why did you come from?" β
"It's been days."
"Oh?" Jerk was moved, "I don't know how to thank you." I've been so busy these days that I haven't bothered to be here. β
Ge Li made a gesture, and a group of children grabbed him, lifted his luggage, and followed her to a house. Walking to the door, Ge Li made another gesture, and the children dispersed.
Jerk followed.
Ge Li left her luggage in the corner.
Jeju raised his eyes and saw a new bed in the room, cleaned up and tidy, next to Ge Li's supplies, and a foreign mirror.
Jerk was a little stunned: "You... this is..."
"Hee-hee," Ge Li said with a smile, "I moved in before you and took up your nest." There's an empty house next door that you can vacate for you to live in! β
Jerk is very moved: "You...
"Hee-hee, let's steal a treasure!"
"Baby?" Jerk was blinded, "What treasure to steal?" β
Ge Li pretended to look out mysteriously: "Shhh, you can't let them hear it!" Then he turned to Jerk, "Steal their hearts!" β
"Heart?"
"I'll tell you the truth, Ah Gong passed on a set of housekeeping skills to me, my palms are itchy, and I want to save a few destined disciples, but at my level, who can I do? After thinking about it, I thought of this garden, but I was afraid that people would see through the mechanism and give up all the previous efforts, so I made this decision, first stealing the heart, and then teaching the apprentice! Hee-hee, I didn't expect the results to be remarkable, just a few days before and after, this group of babies let me be blinded, and they revolve around my ass all day long! β
Jeju stared at her with tears in his eyes.
"Hey, I didn't come to steal your heart, why are you excited?"
Jeju stared at her, his voice trembling, "You... stole it a long time ago." β
Ge Li stared at him: "You too." Pointing to his heart, "It's long gone with me!" β
"Yes." Jeju said excitedly, "Little Lizi, I have something to ask you!" β
Ge Li thought that he was going to propose marriage on the spot, but his heart tightened, and he trembled: "You speak." β
Jeju looked at the children outside the door: "Are you really not afraid of these children?" β
Seeing this, Ge Li came over lively: "Are they tigers?" I won't tell you, I'm not afraid of a tiger! There is nothing in this world that has ever scared me! β
"I mean, you don't dislike them?"
"Disliked? Each of them is lovely in their own way, and it is too late to rejoice. Besides, among them, there may be a few masters, and they may inherit my mantle in the future! β
"If that's the case, I'll ask you for something formally."
"You speak."
"I'll leave this to you." Jeju looked at those children, "These children are also my heart!" β
"Yes. I'm not here. β
Jeju took out the check and handed it over with both hands: "This is what Miss Mai left for these children, and I will hand it over to you!" β
Looking at this bank check with four "0s" written after the "1", Ge Li was shocked.
Because there were still a lot of things in the Chamber of Commerce, Jeju said goodbye to Ge Li and left in a hurry. Ge Li settled the children, ran home with a smoke, and said to Old Man Shen excitedly: "Old Grandpa, Xiao Lizi is a big official today!" β
"Oh?" Old Man Shen, who was meditating, responded exaggeratedly, and his eyelids didn't open.
"He's... appointed me as the archangel today, with full authority over the Angel Garden!"
"Hehehe," Old Man Shen was happy, "Xiao Lizi won the first battle, congratulations!" β
"Old Grandpa," Ge Li took out the check and shook it in front of the old man's eyes, "Look at this again!" β
"Bank check."
"Guess what?"
Old Man Shen shook his head.
"No more, no less, a full 10,000 taels!"
"Wishing you prosperity. Where did it come from? β
"It was left to the Angel Garden by Miss Mak before she left, and he officially handed it over to me. The three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first. With this huge amount of money in hand, I, the archangel, will be able to do it! β
"How are you going to use it?"
"Isn't this asking the old grandfather for advice? Old grandfather, I've been thinking about it for a long time. This amount of money seems to be a lot of money at first glance, but it is dead money on closer examination. As the saying goes, sitting on a mountain and eating empty, according to the immediate expenses, it will last for three or five years at most. If I want to run for a long time, I have to find another way! β
"Yes."
"Old man, tell me about it, how to invest properly? I can only make this money, not lose it. Don't hide it from my grandfather, I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I haven't thought of a safe business! β
Old Man Shen narrowed his eyes and scrutinized her, as if she had grown up in the blink of an eye.
Ge Li made him look furious, and said coquettishly: "Old grandfather, how can you look at people like this? The eyeballs are straight and they don't bend! β
"Hehehe, you want to tell fortunes and tell fortunes, it's right to come to the old grandfather. As for the things that make money money, someone is much more powerful than the old grandfather! β
Ge Li tilted his head and thought for a while: "You mean him?" β
"Hehehe," said the old man Shen with a smile, "on this beach, think about it, which one of them has this ability?" β
"How can this be done? He just gave me the money, and I gave it back to him, isn't it..." Ge Li blinked a few times and slapped his thigh, "Yes, he gave me the money to support Angel Garden, and I gave him the money again to do business with him on behalf of Angel Garden!" β
Old man Shen was happy, and he burst out of a Sichuan dialect: "Right! β
"I'm going to look for him!" Ge Li couldn't wait to pull his legs out.
"Hehehe, you have a tight temper, how can you do business? As the saying goes, urgency of crops, stop buying and selling. β
"This..."
"To invest and manage money, we must be calm and good at waiting for opportunities."
"Right!" Ge Li smiled sweetly and raised his hand, "Old grandfather, bye-bye, Xiao Lizi is going to work!" After saying that, as when he came back, he ran away like a smoke.
Baguio settles down at Ah Xiu's house.
The aunt who served Ah Xiu is still there, and she cooks a lot of delicious food for her.
Baguio looked dumbfounded, sat down, and ate bite after bite. After eating a few bites, Baguio had tears in his eyes, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and went upstairs step by step.
Baguio sat in front of Ah Xiu's dresser, looking at her strange self in the mirror. In just a few days, she was emaciated and unhuman.
There was the sound of footsteps on the stairs, and it was Ziber who heard the voice.
Ziber knocked on the door: "Missβ"
Baguio got up, opened the door, and returned to the dressing table without a sound, and sat down.
"Miss?" Ziber shouted again.
Baguio looked over: "What's the matter?" β
Qi Bo took out an envelope from his bag: "This is written to you by your father, and your aunt handed it to me before leaving." I wanted to show you some light later, but after thinking about it, I thought it would be better for you to see it sooner. As he spoke, he took a step forward, handed over Junyi's suicide note, and returned it.
Baguio's hand holding the suicide note trembled slightly.
Baguio opened the envelope, took out Junyi's handwriting, and began to read: "Yao'er, Abba is looking for your mother, and this is leaving." In this world, Abba only loves three women, one is Abba's mother, one is your mother, and the other is you. Your aunt is a good woman, very much like your mother, and Abba sees her sooner or later, just like seeing your mother. Abba is gone, hand you over to your aunt, and you will treat her like a mother. Your aunt has always loved you and treated you like a daughter, and you don't misunderstand her. Yao'er, Abba didn't listen to Jeje's words, made a big mistake, failed to leave you property, and only left you a bunch of sadness. Abba's sorry for you, but Abba's loves you. Abba's gone, you have to live well. Abba knows that you will not be alone, because there is Qibo, your aunt, and jerk to take care of you and accompany you. Yao'er, there is one more thing, that is, Xiaodi. There are some things that Abba has to tell you. Your initial feeling was right, Fu Xiaodi is Fu Shun'an, I have investigated, and he also admitted it himself. He doesn't love you, he loves our family's possessions. The property is gone, he won't love you anymore, you have to know this. He's a snob, not a man you can rely on. What you can rely on is jerk, and Abba has entrusted you to him. You have to trust him, trust him as you trust Abba, trust him as you trust Zieber. In addition, on my behalf, I will fulfill my filial piety to Qi Bo and serve Qi Bo until I am old. Ziber is not big, but better than big. Farewell, kid. Love you forever Abba..."
Baguio's tears flowed out like beads of broken thread and landed on the letterhead.
Ziber lowered his head and let her be sad for a while.
Baguio wiped away her tears, raised her head slightly, and looked at Qi Bo firmly: "Qi Bo..."
"Miss?"
"You answer me!"
"Miss, please speak!"
"Is what my Abba said true?"
"It's true!"
"He... how can he be sure that Fu Xiaodi is Fu Shun'an?"
"Your uncle found out. Your uncle went to Jeju's house, and he also went to Fu's house to see it, and he visited everything in the matter. Your uncle told me, I told you Abba, your Abba only then understood, so he expelled Fu Shun'an from the house, but I didn't expect the young lady to be with him..."
Baguio bit her lip and tears flowed again.
Time condenses.
I don't know how long it took, Baguio raised his head again, and his tone was firm: "Qi Bo, from now on, I will call you big." Big, it doesn't matter if it's Fu Xiaodi or Fu Shun'an, what I'm happy about is him. Abba is prejudiced against him and is bent on asking me to marry Wu Jeju, which is impossible! Wu Jerk has Wu Jerk happy people, I have people I rejoice, Abba has Aba happy people, can't be confused, isn't it, big? β
"Yes."
"Speaking of a lot, I won't listen to my Abba. Marry a chicken and follow a chicken, my body and mind have been promised to Fu Xiaodi, life is his person, death is his ghost. Great, I decided, since the Ming Dynasty, I will buy a ferry ticket to Japan! β
Qi Bo was stunned: "Miss, what are you going to Japan for?" β
"Go find Fu Xiaodi. In order to fulfill Abba's wish, he gave up me and my children and went to the East! β
"Alas," said Ziber, with a long sigh, "Miss, how can you..."
Baguio cried a few times, stood up, walked up to him, and knelt on the ground: "Great..."
"Miss..." Ziber pulled her up.
Baguio hugged Qi Bo tightly, put his head on his shoulder, and cried: "Great, Yao'er, please buy me a ferry ticket!" β
Qi Bo burst into tears and stretched out his arm to hug her: "Silly child, how can you... β
"Big, it's not that Yao'er is stupid, it's that Yao'er has no way out, Yao'er has to look for him!"
"But he didn't go to the East!"
Baguio was stunned: "What? Break free and stare at Zieber, "Where is he?" β
"He's right here, Shanghai!"
Baguio was dumbfounded, and said for a while: "I don't believe it!" The day he left, I knew! β
"Child," Qi Bo changed the tone of the elder, "since you call me big, I will be you big." Think about it, you have been deceived since you were a child. Fu Shun'an didn't go to Japan at all, he was in Shanghai. Just the day before yesterday, Jeju found him and asked him to come back to see off the master, but he didn't return. Jerk was so angry that he beat him up! β
Baguio's eyes rose: "Wu Jeju deceives!" Say, "Where does he live?" β
"Still living with that guy with the last name."
Baguio thought for a while, took the bag with a pout, pulled his legs and walked outside.
Qi Bo grabbed her: "Yao'er? β
Baguio struggled a few times, but didn't break away, and cried: "Big, you... you let go of me!" β
Qi Bo didn't let go: "Yao'er, even if you look for him, you have to stay until the Ming Dynasty." In the middle of the night, how can you find someone? β
Baguio couldn't stop crying.
Qi Bo was sad when he heard this, and let go of his hand: "Yao'er, you can sleep well and rest your spirits." As soon as the Ming Dynasty dawns, I will accompany you greatly! β
Baguio let out an "um" and nodded slightly.
Qi Bo walked to the bed, laid out the quilt for her, helped her into the quilt, and then turned and went out.
After being beaten by the jerk, Shun An did not dare to continue to live in the Wang Mansion, and moved into a new house the next day.
In view of the extraordinary times, Shun An did not dare to go anywhere, locked himself in his house all day long, and hired two new servants, the male in charge of external guards, and the female in charge of food and daily life.
It was almost noon, and Zhang Hu came.
Shun An instructed her aunt to make a few dishes, brought out a jar of daughter red, and drank with Zhang Hu. After drinking a few cups, Shun An took a copy of "Declaration" and handed it over: "Brother, take a look." β
Zhang Hu glanced at it, didn't take the newspaper, took a sip of wine, and stared at Shun'an: "What's it?" β
"Announcement!" Shun An's voice was a little excited, "It just came out, in Taiqing Auction House." The Lu family's property is divided into three: the first is the Lu family's mansion, which covers an area of one acre and eight-sevenths, packed with real estate, furniture and other property; The second case is Maosheng Qianzhuang, which is the shop house; The third case is the packaging of 12 stores, of which 5 are self-owned stores, and the rest are leased! β
"Do you want to eat it all, or do you want to eat it?"
"With this little money, how can you eat it all?" Shun An's face rose slightly.
"There is nothing in the world that can't be done, as long as my brother wants to eat, Brother Zhang will try it!"
Shun An hesitated for a moment and stared at Zhang Hu: "If you can eat it all, I'm afraid that my brother will wake up laughing in his dream." β
"Brother, let's do it," Zhang Hu patted him on the shoulder, "We take it all, you invest 100,000, and the rest is counted as Brother Zhang's, is it okay?" β
"It's Xiaodi's blessing to be able to partner with Brother Zhang. Dare to ask Brother Zhang, how can you count miles? β
Zhang Hu thought for a moment: "How about Qisan?" β
"Seventy-three?" Shun'an thought that he had won three, but he was unhappy, but he still smiled on his face, "Okay, this is a big business, and the younger brother can get three, and he is satisfied." β
The brother laughed. It's the brothers who get seven, and Brother Zhang gets three! β
"Hehehe," Shun An smiled, and bowed his hand again and again, "Brother Xie Zhang's gift!" β
Zhang Hu was about to answer, but Ah Huang ran in panting: "Brother, brother, it's not good!" β
Zhang Hu looked at him.
Ah Huang gasped for a while and looked at Shun'an: "It's not Brother, it's Brother Xiaodi!" β
Shun'an's face changed and he looked at Zhang Hu.
"What's the matter, the shock?" Zhang Hu's face sank and he reprimanded.
"That one-armed old man led Miss Lu to the door, saying that he was looking for a brother!"
Shun An's face was completely bloodless.
Zhang Hu pondered: "What about people? β
"Lying at the door, you can't get away!"
"You didn't explain refreshing?"
"Explained a hundred times. I said, Fu Xiaodi is no longer here for a long time, Miss Lu just doesn't believe it, and she has to go in and search! I had no choice but to lead her in. She went straight to the place where Xiaodi's brother lived, and when she saw that there was nothing, she began to cry. The old man took her away, but she refused to die, and stayed in that room all the time, and she had to wait until Brother Xiaodi! β
Shun An looked at Zhang Hu with an anxious face: "Brother..."
"Niang Xi's fart, it must be a bad thing for that kid of the Wu family!" Zhang Hu frowned for a while, smiled bitterly, and patted Shun'an on the shoulder, "Brother, the water will cover the earth, and the soldiers will block it." Since she has seen through this matter, you can't hide from it. Besides, there is an old man surnamed Qi who comes forward, and Wu Jeju is behind the move, and hiding is not a way. β
"How can this be done?"
"If you want me to tell me, there are two paths in front of you: one is to admit planting, grit your teeth and marry that girl, fortunately, she is a young lady, she can go to the hall, and she will not lose face if she takes it out sooner or later; The second is to cut through the mess quickly and give her a ruthless blow! β
Shun An lowered his head for a long time, and looked up at him: "What kind of cruel method?" β
"Let her die!"
Shun'an took a breath, lowered his head and thought again, and resolutely raised his head: "Just Brother Yi!" β
"How can it be according to the law?"
"Let her die!"
"Go," Zhang Hu turned to Ah Huang, "take her to the Wei Ulva Garden, and tell the Xiaodi brothers to invite her to enjoy the scenery in the garden!" Look at your watch, "2:40 p.m.!" β
Covering an area of more than 80 acres, it can be called the first garden in Shanghai. Originally a private residence of a British businessman, it was bought by Zhang Shuhe, a native of Wuxi, more than 20 years ago, combining Chinese and Western, expanding vigorously, and building the tallest building in Shanghai in the garden - An Kaidi Building (A
cadia hall), built with stage, circus, cinema, boxing, western goods shopping mall, tea house, hotel and other fashionable facilities, so that it quickly became a set of tours, leisure, shopping, banquets, see the first choice of Western ancient scenes, every day is busy traffic, business is prosperous.
Zhang Hu set this place as Shun'an's place of renunciation because of Lu Biyao's embarrassing position and the value of Miss Lu who she didn't want to make a big deal about.
The weather is fine, people come and go in the garden, many men and women rush into the Ankaidi Building, stand on the top floor and look into the distance.
For Lu Baguio, she is familiar with the corners and corners here, even grass and trees.
The place chosen by Thuan An is still a teahouse.
In Wei Chun Garden, Lu Baguio's least favorite place is the tea house, but Shun An likes it. Since he ran the street with his senior brother Qing Zexue, Shun An has fallen in love with tea, and he has visited almost all the teahouses on the beach, and he has been here many times, and he is familiar with almost every private room.
Shun'an booked a private room with the best scenery in the most corner, and asked Zhang Hu to wait outside for Baguio.
Ziber and Baguio are here.
They didn't have a watch, and Baguio stood at the gate of the garden, his eyes rolling around.
Zhang Hu walked over.
"The surname is Zhang," Baguio looked at him from afar, greeted him, raised his hand and shouted, "Where is Fu Xiaodi?" β
Zhang Hu pointed down to the teahouse.
Baguio stared at him and rushed to the teahouse.
"In the box in the northernmost corner, you just told the guy to find Fu Xiaodi, and they will take you there!" Zhang Hu yelled at her, turned his head, beckoned to Qi Bo, and gave a smile, "Old man, we don't know each other!" β
Qi Bo smiled faintly and looked in the direction of the tea room.
Baguio's back has disappeared into the door of the teahouse.
"Old gentleman," Zhang Hu pointed to the tea room, "If you don't give up, Zhang Mou will also invite you to have a cup of tea, how boring it is to stand here!" β
"Thanks!" Qi Boyang lowered his arm and slowly walked to another path.
The path winds around to the teahouse, just leading to the northernmost corner of what Zhang Hu is talking about.
Zhang Hu was bored, whistled stupidly, and walked to the tea room humming a little tune.
In the box, there is a teapot and two teacups on a delicate table. Inside the tea cup is seven-point tea, golden yellow, exuding a faint tea fragrance. A few floor-to-ceiling windows offer a pleasant view.
Baguio and Shun'an have their own hearts, neither to enjoy the scenery nor to taste tea, but just sit silently opposite each other, each with their heads down. One looked embarrassed, the other sad.
I don't know how long it took, Baguio slowly raised his head, and his voice was almost desperate: "In this way, everything is fake!" β
Shun An lowered his head and muttered, "Yes." β
"You never loved me?"
"I..." Shun An gritted his teeth for a while, his eyes looking out the window, "I hate you!" β
"Hate me?" Baguio was stunned, her voice trembling, "Why do you hate me?" β
Shun An still looked out the window, almost muttering: "There are more places to hate you!" β
"You speak, one by one, I have Chenguang to listen!"
Shun An suddenly withdrew his gaze from the window and forced her to look at her: "Lu Biyao, you forced me to tell it, I said it, you blame me!" β
"Let's talk about it." Baguio shuddered, and his voice trembled even more.
Shun'an said the lines that he had already thought of in a row: "I hate that you were born in a rich man's family, I hate that you took a sedan chair back to your hometown, I hate the satin clothes you wear, I hate that you have a good Abba, I hate that your voice is sweet and shy, I hate that you have people to cheer wherever you go, I hate that you have people to eat and drink, I hate that you have maids and servants to shout and drink casually, I..."
Hearing these words, Baguio calmed down, waited for a while, and saw that he still didn't speak, so he spoke slowly, and his voice no longer trembled: "You are mistaken, this is jealousy!" β
"It's jealousy, and my hatred is behind."
Baguio bit her lip for a while: "Speak, I'll listen." β
"Remember what happened in front of your pawn shop that day, right? I was beaten for no reason, but you said I was a thief and should be beaten. I'll never forget the way you despised me, and the cruel words you scolded me! When I arrived in Shanghai, I went to your house, and your eyes were full of contempt! I... I'm not a human being in your eyes, I'm a slave! β
"You're right." Baguio slowly explained, "I despise you because I don't know the truth. I believe that not only me, but anyone will despise thieves! β
"I'm not a thief!"
"Alright, Xiaodi," Baguio sighed softly, in a sincere tone, "it's my fault. I shouldn't have wronged you, but I really don't know. I apologize to you! β
"Don't talk about this, it's all in the past."
"Okay. Then you say, if you hate me, why do you love me? β
"I didn't love you!"
Baguio burst into tears, bit her lip again, and spoke for a while: "You don't love me, why are you pestering me?" β
"I didn't pester you," Shun An argued, "You are a young lady, I am a servant of your family, I am just doing what a servant should do, and I am fulfilling the obligations of a servant." Besides, if I want to get ahead in your house, I have to please your Abba. And to please your Abba, I have to please you first. I don't have any other way! β
"You..." Baguio was angry, "since you don't love me, why did you do that to me?" β
"You sent it to the door, you love me, you want to do it!"
"Yes, I love you! I love you like crazy! β
"But it's not me you love!"
"It's not you, who's it?"
"It's Fu Xiaodi!"
"You..."
"Miss Lu," Shun'an stared at him, his voice firm, "I'll ask you a question, and you answer from the bottom of your heart!" β
"You...
Shun'an's words are like hammers: "If you knew that I was Fu Shun'an from the beginning, you would know that my Abba was a lowly drama owner, my mother was a prostitute who everyone wanted to bully, my family has been a lowly for generations, everyone on the street scolded me for being a mongrel, I was a scholar of Wu Jerk since I was a child, and I followed Wu Jerk's ass step by step, will you still love me?" β
Baguio was speechless, just twitched his shoulders and sobbed.
Shun An raised his voice: "Speak, Miss Lu!" β
Baguio's shoulders twitched even harder.
Shun An became excited, knocked the table loudly, and said in a stern voice: "Speak, Miss Lu, Miss Lu Baguio!" Fu Shun'an is waiting to hear your reply! β
Baguio couldn't answer, just wept.
Shun An stood up suddenly, circled around the tea case a few times, and sat down again, his voice was leisurely, and he said in a tone: "If you don't want to talk about it, you just talk about it." You and I have talked thoroughly. I ask you, what else do you have to gossip? β
Baguio suddenly stopped crying: "Yes! β
Shun An was stunned: "Speak! β
Baguio raised his head, raised his wrist, showed the jade bracelet, and a pair of teary eyes shot over, word by word: "Why did you give me your family's heirloom jade bracelet?" β
"I..." Shun'an closed his eyes for a while, took a long breath, and slowly exhaled, "Okay, if you ask, I'll tell you the truth, this is not my jade bracelet, let alone my family's heirloom jade bracelet!" β
Baguio was shocked: "Whose is it?" β
"It's Wu Jerk! This bracelet is an heirloom of the Lao Wu family! β
"Huh?!" Baguio was on the verge of collapse.
"The Wu family suffered a fire and took refuge in my house, and her mother gave this bracelet to my mother as a thank you gift, and my mother gave it to me!"
Baguio bit his lip for a while, and pointed to his lower abdomen: "Don't you even want this child?" β
This sentence obviously hit the nail on the head of Shun'an.
Shun An lowered his head, very low.
Baguio looked at him with teary eyes.
It was the last card she could play.
Shun'an raised his head, got up slowly, his face was distorted, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of a crooked stone crack, which was weird: "Miss Lu, since the heirloom bracelet you are wearing is the old Wu family, everything belongs to the old Wu family, and it has nothing to do with me Fu Shun'an!" β
Baguio was stunned.
Baguio's spirit completely collapsed, staring at him as if he didn't know him.
"Miss Lu," Shun'an arched his hand, "If there is nothing else, Fu Shun'an is gone!" One turned, strode to the door, and opened.
"Xiaodi," Baguio was anxious, "you... you can't go!" β
Shun'an's footsteps paused slightly, his fists tightened, and he didn't look back, and strode forward.
Baguio suddenly got up, chased after him, and let out a miserable scream in a hoarse voice: "Fu Xiaodiβ" His eyes turned black and he fell to the ground.
Shun An turned his head, squatted down beside her, stared at her for a while, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, got up suddenly, and walked away.
Shun'an walked to the hall, raised his hand to greet Zhang Hu, grabbed the door, and bumped into Qi Bo who rushed in quickly when he heard the screams at the door, and the huge momentum knocked Shun'an to the ground.
Qi Bo didn't care about him, went straight to the private room, saw Baguio lying on the ground in the corridor, hurriedly picked it up, and held her down.
It was night, in the room on the second floor, Lu Biyao's crying gradually stopped.
The lights went out, and there was a dead silence in the darkness.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound of a latching door in the room, followed by a clang.
Qi Bo, who had been lying in the hall downstairs and had not dared to fall asleep, heard it clearly, rushed up the stairs with arrows, and shouted: "Yao'er! β
She bolted the door.
Qi Bo kicked open the door and saw Lu Baguio wearing a filial piety dress, learning from her aunt, using the filial piety cloth halterneck around her head and hanging it on the hook of the beam.
Qi Bo stepped forward, hugged Baguio, and let go of the cloth cover.
Baguio breathed down and choked: "Great..."
Qi Bo hugged her tightly in his arms, and old tears flowed out: "Yao'er, my good Yao'er, you can't walk on this road, my Yao'er..."
"Great..." "Great..." you, you, you fulfill me, "My greatness..."
Qi Bo guarded Baguio, saw her cry all night, and fell asleep after crying, so he sighed and slowly went downstairs.
For Baguio, the road of Shun'an is a must. Qi Bo couldn't think of a better way to appease Baguio, so he told his aunt to protect her and walked towards Gu Xing.
Jerk is not there. Ah Xiang told him that the jerk was in the Angel Garden.
Qi Bo rushed to the Angel Garden, just in time to run into Ge Li's jerk.
"Seven Grandfathers!" Seeing that it was Qi Bo, Ge Li was very surprised, jumped forward, and put her arms around his neck.
Zieber laughed and patted her on the back with a hand.
Ge Li let go of him, took his one arm and went back to the courtyard, politely entered her room, brought a stool, sat down with him, poured hot water, and presented it with both hands.
Ziber took it, took a sip, gave her a smile, looked at the jerk, moved his mouth a few times, and closed it again.
"Ziber, do you have something?" Jerk stared at him and asked.
"Yes," Qi Bo nodded, looked at Ge Li, and got up, "Xiao Lizi, I'll go out with Jeju to do something, and we'll go." β
Ge Li accompanied them out and raised his hand to say goodbye.
Walking out of the alley, turning onto the street, seeing that there were not many pedestrians, Qi Bo's steps slowed down.
"Zieber?" Jerk down and stare at him.
Zieber walked to the side of the street and crouched down in the shade of the trees.
The jerk followed, squatting against each other, staring at Qi Bo.
"Alas..." Qi Bo sighed, and old tears flowed out.
This iron-like old man actually wept, straightened his heart, and whispered: "Qi Bo? β
Ziber looked up at the jerk.
"Qi Bo, what's the matter, you just have to talk about it!"
Qi Bo took out an envelope from his arms and handed it over: "Jerk, this letter has been warm in Qi Bo's arms for several days, and it has not been given to you, today... β
Jerk took it, glanced at it, and there was a bang in his head.
It was Junyi's suicide note to him.
Ziber bowed his head.
Jeju read the letter, and a handsome voice sounded in his ears: "Jerk, Uncle Lu knelt down and begged... Uncle Lu has no other way but to entrust Yao'er's life to you." Uncle Lu knows that you have true love, but Yao'er has no way out...
Tears flowed from the jerk, and the hand holding the letter trembled slightly.
"Uncle Lu knows what love is, Uncle Lu has no intention of beating mandarin ducks, and has no intention of breaking you and Miss Ge, but right now, only you can give Baguio a way to live, Uncle Lu begs you and Miss Ge to give Yao'er a way to live, but it really can't be done, let Yao'er make you a little one..."
Jerk wiped away tears, put away the letter, and put it in his pocket.
"Junyi is gone, Ah Xiu is gone, there is only Miss in the Lu family!" Zieber stared at the ground.
Jerk trembled: "Yes." β
"She has been thinking about the boy of the Fu family, I took her yesterday, and I met in the Wei Yuan Garden, I don't know what the surname Fu said, so that the young lady's heart is completely dead, and she is looking for death several times at night, but fortunately I am guarding. But... I can't keep guarding her! β
"Miss, she... this Chenguang is fine, right?"
"Tossed all night and went to sleep. I asked my aunt to stay by my side, it shouldn't be anything. β
"Ziber, I know everything. Grief is greater than heart death, Uncle Lu is gone, family property is gone, Baguio's only hope is tied to Shun'an, but Shun'an is... This is a bend that she can't turn around, she has to let her slowly adapt to this bend. β
"Yes."
"Qi Bo," Jeju stood up, "there is something going on in the Cha family, let me go over once, and I won't stay longer." As for Miss, you guard her first, and Xiao Lizi and I will find a way. In any case, we can't let her go down Uncle Lu's path again! β
Zieber nodded.
Jerk hurried to Cha's house, and Jinlai came out.
"What's the urgency, Uncle Cha?" The jerk gets straight to the point.
"Jerk," Zha Jinlai pleaded, "Your Uncle Lu's matter is finished, it's time to help Uncle Cha, right?" β
"Little nephew, please listen to Uncle Cha's orders!"
"Hey," Jin Lai smiled bitterly, "What do you say, Uncle Cha Qian's donkey skills are poor, and he is looking for you urgently, I want you to help save the scene!" β
"Uncle Cha, you have to tell the little nephew about the actual situation, and the little nephew will do his best."
"Jerk," Jin Lai smiled bitterly again, "You have already seen the situation, this stock market crash was initiated by your Uncle Lu, but it is Shanyiyuan and Runfengyuan who really promote the disaster." Shanyiyuan was fully invested, Uncle Cha couldn't sit still, so he discussed with the old man, and the old man also confused the confusing stock situation and agreed to participate in the shares. Although Runfengyuan's participation is late, the investment is huge. In order to compete with the source of goodness and righteousness, Uncle Cha has successively mobilized more than 6 million taels of cash from 16 branches, plus the inventory of the village, the actual investment is not less than 10 million taels, far more than your Uncle Lu's! β
Jerk shocked: "Huh? β
"Alas," Jin Lai sighed, "Just like your Uncle Lu, Uncle Cha is also a ghost." This incident made Uncle Cha finally understand a matter, ill-gotten gains, don't stretch out your hand! β
Jerk your brow tightened.
"Jerk, the bank must have enough cash in the treasury to prevent a run. To tell you the truth, at present, the treasury bank of Runfengyuan is only one million taels that have just been loaned from HSBC, and the silver shortage, not counting the total bank, is not less than three million taels for the sixteen branch banks. After the stock market crash, I have been concealing the truth, bluffing, even relatives and friends did not dare to penetrate the bottom, most depositors out of long-term trust in Runfengyuan, so far there has been no run. This million taels of silver came at the right time, and I have already explained the sub-banks in various places to deal with the run. But the paper can't contain the fire, Uncle Cha is restless! β
"Isn't there still a dozen or so branches in Runfengyuan that have not been affected?"
"Yes. All of Uncle Cha's fingers are on them. However, most of these sub-villages are in the inland provinces, and there is not much silver left. I have secretly ordered them to quickly clear the treasury and all that can be solved to the head bank. Judging from the books, the cash that can really be solved will not exceed two million taels! β
"With these two million taels, we should be able to get through the current crisis."
Jin Lai smiled bitterly again: "You don't know, in addition to the run, Uncle Cha has a more urgent matter!" β
Jerk looked at him.
"Lord Cai has a lot of money in Runfengyuan, which is public funds of the imperial court, and it will be raised at any time."
"How much?"
"A total of 3.5 million taels, of which 2 million is this year's Gengzi indemnity, and the time limit will be reached in 30 days, and it must be handed over to foreigners!"
Jerk gasped.
"Even if the treasury money is released now, it will be difficult to solve it all within a month, and Uncle Cha can't sleep all night because of this!"
Jerk's brow twisted into two large knots.
"Uncle Cha thought about it, and there was only one trick, which was to persuade Lord Cai to ask the imperial court to delay the payment of Gengzi's compensation for 20 days, but it really didn't work, so he transferred the treasury bank of the Qing Bank to temporarily relieve the urgent need, and returned it when the treasury bank from other places was transferred."
"Is Lord Cai willing?"
"That's where the hard part is." Jin Lai looked worried, "It was Lord Yuan Shuxun who put the silver in, but Lord Yuan left." Although Lord Cai and Lord Yuan did not have a holiday, the officialdom was unclear. I'm going to find your Uncle Zhu and ask Lord Cai for a favor with him! β
"So... what can the little nephew do for Uncle Cha?"
"Keep an eye on Peng Weilun!"
Jeju was stunned: "What are you doing staring at him?" β
"As the saying goes, 'You can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people.'" Runfengyuan is in danger, and I am worried that this person will gloat and stumble from it! I heard that he treats you well, and you have to be free, so go to him and sit down and find out for Uncle Cha! β
Jeju didn't respond, only closed his eyes, and sighed inside: "Alas, Uncle Cha, it's all come to this point, you are still thinking about others, how can you do this?" β
The loan from the foreigner's bank was quickly disbursed, and Shanyiyuan received 1 million taels.
The money arrived, and the Guangzhao Hall was jubilant. Mark Liu was overjoyed, hurriedly walked into the prime minister's office, and said to Peng Weilun with a smile: "Brother Peng, I didn't expect two things, one was that I didn't expect this money to come quickly, and the other was that it could give us one million taels, as much as Runfengyuan!" β
"Zhu Heyi is indeed better than that old man Cha, but..."
"Brother Peng?"
"The deficit is too big, and one million taels is just a matter of urgency!" Peng Weilun sighed, "Alas, I regret not listening to Wu Tingju." If that Chenguang gritted his teeth and threw it away, wouldn't this Chenguang die of laughter? β
"That kid is a fine man, with front and back eyes! However, "Mark Liu approached, "The sky is falling and everyone is crushed, I heard that Runfengyuan is worse than us, and the old man Cha was angry to death!" β
"Yes." Peng Weilun nodded, "I came to you to discuss this matter." Woe is the place of blessing. This stock market crash is a disaster for everyone, and it may be a blessing for us. β
"Our blessings?" Mark Liu was shocked, "Brother Peng, speak quickly!" β
"Rubber stocks were first speculated by Ningbo businessmen, and their losses were the greatest. Mao Sheng fell, Lu Junyi died, which is equivalent to God helping us get rid of a strong opponent. As for the other small villages, they either went bankrupt or were not mentioned, only the Runfengyuan of the Zha family and our Shanyiyuan are still supporting. The good and righteous source family has a great cause, and there is also Lord Yuan behind him, and he can't fall for a while. It's that his surname Cha can't hold on. If we take this opportunity to give a boost and bring down Runfengyuan, we will eat alone on this beach! β
"Great!" Mark Liu clenched his fists, "He's damn it, my little brother also wants to clean them up in his dreams." How to push this one, does Brother Peng have a plan? β
"I preliminarily estimated that in this stock market crash, Runfengyuan used all the treasury silver of more than a dozen branches in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and the deficit was no less than 8 million taels, far exceeding Maosheng." Peng Weilun lowered his voice, "I heard that two million Gengzi models were also put in!" β
"Huh?" Mark Liu was dumbfounded, "He also dares to use this?" β
"In that limelight, there is nothing that you dare not use!" Peng Weilun took out a letter, "The best thing is in this money." You send someone to present this secret letter to Mr. Mu! β
βMy Ho
o
(It's an honor!) Mark Liu snapped his fingers nicely.
After stealing Lu Baguio's softness, Qiuhong did not leave Shanghai. Besides, she really has nowhere else to go except Shanghai.
Qiuhong was an orphan who fell into the hands of traffickers at the age of five and was sold into a family. When Lu Junyi went to the hall, he saw that she was quite clever and well-behaved, so he spent ten taels of silver to redeem her and asked her to accompany Baguio. Qiuhong has been in the Lu family for ten years, although she has suffered some idleness in front of Baguio, but in general, she has enjoyed all the blessings and is used to seeing wealth.
In other words, she couldn't stand being poor.
Qiu Hong remembers her life experience, and has always regarded the Lu family as her home, serving Baguio cautiously.
However, the Lu family is about to fall, Lu Biyao is about to become a young lady, every pore on Qiu Hong's body is feeling this sudden impact, and in addition to extreme panic, there is an inexplicable excitement in her heart.
This excitement is Lu Biyao's Prince Charming-Fu Xiaodi.
Qiu Hong is extremely sure that in this world, no one knows this person named Fu Xiaodi better than her, and no one can love him more than her, including her master, Miss Lu. In Qiuhong's opinion, what Miss Lu loves is her own feelings, what she loves is Fu Xiaodi's poems, and what she loves Qiuhong is Fu Xiaodi, the handsome little guy who has killed everyone in the money village and made Master Lu willingly recruit him as a son-in-law.
One didn't do it, and the other didn't stop, Qiu Hong took advantage of the chaos to take away all the softness of the young lady, hid outside for a few days, and found out that Master Lu was dead, Maosheng was bankrupt, and the Lu family's Wanguan family property was not enough to repay the debt. Qiu Hong sighed, glad that she had made a timely move, otherwise, she would really have to walk out of the door of the Lu family with nothing.
When the funeral was sent to the master, Qiu Hong quietly mixed in with the crowd watching the excitement, and only saw Wu Jeju, but did not see Shun'an.
Qiu Hong's courage grew, because this fact was enough to show that she was right, and her Xiaodi was deliberately avoiding Miss.
Qiu Hong found a remote pawnshop, sold a piece of jewelry, rented an attic near Shun'an's residence, and bought a blue cheongsam similar to that worn by Miss Lu in the silk shop on Nanjing Road, and stayed near Shun'an's house from morning to night.
Qiuhong kept watch for a few days, but Shun'an did not come. Qiuhong asked the landlord and learned from him that he had checked out a few days ago.
It was a coincidence. In the evening, Qiuhong was on her way home, and when she crossed the fourth road, two rickshaws ran past her and stopped in front of a luxurious shop not far ahead. The two jumped out of the car and walked into the shop side by side, talking and laughing.
Qiu Hong's pupils widened, and one of them was really her Xiaodi.
Qiu Hong rushed over and was about to enter the door, but was stopped by someone. When she figured out that it was a cousin and that her Xiaodi was here to play with women, Qiu Hong was ashamed and angry, but forgave him almost instantly.
Qiu Hong waited for more than an hour, and Shun'an walked out of the hall in a leisurely manner.
There are several rickshaws guarding the door. Shun An didn't wait for anyone, raised his hand to summon one, jumped on it, and walked straight along the horse path. When the car was far away, Qiuhong raised her hand to hail the car and instructed the driver to catch up with the car in front.
The rickshaw stopped in front of a small house. Shun An got out of the car, paid for the car, and was about to step forward to open the door, and another car went straight to come and stopped in front of Shun An.
"Xiaodi!" Qiuhong's voice came from the car, and she trembled a little.
Qiu Hong's voice was familiar with Shun'an, and she couldn't help but shudder, and turned her head to see that the person who got out of the car was actually a young lady in a cheongsam, thinking it was Lu Biyao, who was stunned.
Qiuhong had calmed down, turned around, paid the car generously, told the driver to wait at the intersection in front, and walked to Shun'an.
Shun An stared at her, as if staring at a monster.
"Xiaodi!" Qiu Hong smiled at him, her smile a little stiff, her voice still trembling.
Shun An looked around nervously and didn't see Lu Biyao.
"Xiaodi, I've finally found you!" Qiu Hong tried her best to calm herself down.
"Little..." Miss "Miss..." Shun An spoke incoherently and looked around again.
"Miss didn't come. I'm not with Miss anymore! Qiu Hong's tone became natural.
Shun An sighed and stared at her clothes: "You bought it?" β
"Of course I bought it!" Qiuhong is not without pride, "Nanjing Road, Lao Jiefu!" β
"Lao Jiefu?" Shun'an's eyes were even more surprised, "Where are you going to buy a cheongsam?" β
"Why don't you believe it?" Qiu Hong turned around, "The size is measured by the master in the store, you see, does it fit?" β
Obviously, Shun An didn't turn a corner, his eyes were taken away from his clothes, and he stared at her, "Since you don't follow Miss anymore, what are you looking for me to do?" β
"Huh?" Qiu Hong pretended to be surprised, "Miss is Miss, I am me, how can you tie the two of us together?" Miss is bankrupt, she is no longer a miss, I am still Qiuhong! β
"Oh." Shun An responded, "Say, what are you looking for me to do in the middle of the night?" β
"Be your woman!" Qiuhong replied, "You promised me!" β
"I..." Shun'an's eyes rolled a few times, and he squeezed out a smile, "Qiuhong, it's late, you must be hungry too, I'll invite you to eat for the night!" β
Qiu Hong was moved and nodded again and again: "Where are you?" β
Shun'an pointed to a light not far away: "That's the store, authentic Ningbo snacks!" "Shake off the big stride and walk forward.
Qiu Hong raised her hand to support the rickshaw not far away, and followed Shun'an in the opposite direction.
There are no customers in the store, and the store is preparing to close.
"Man," Shun An is obviously a regular here, "a cage of lotus fragrant phoenix feet, a cage of crab roe buns, a plate of smoked fish, a plate of mud snails, and two bowls of rice balls!" β
The man answered, and the stove was ready.
"Say," Shun An stared at her, "where did you get rich?" β
"I..." Qiu Hong said twice, turned the conversation, and stared at Shun'an, "That house is yours?" β
When Leng Buding was asked about this, Shun An couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, lowered his head and held his head for a while, before he finally found the explanation, and said with a bitter face: "It's not a mile." My lord is bankrupt, I have nothing, how can I afford to live in a good house? β
"It's not yours, what are you doing there in the middle of the night?"
"It's a friend of mine, he's coming home these days, so I'll help him stay for a few days temporarily."
"So... where do you live?" Qiu Hong stared at him, "I heard the landlord say, you don't live in that attic anymore!" β
"I can't afford to pay for the room!"
"You don't have anything?" Qiu Hong obviously didn't believe it.
"Nothing. There was a lot of money in the past, but all of it was bought as stocks, and it was rotten in the foreigner's office. β
"Great." Qiu Hong said eagerly, "Xiaodi, I have money, I'll give you all the money, you are smart, you can do business, use my money as a capital, I believe you can become a big boss, like Master Lu, earn a lot of money!" β
"Where did you get the money?" Shun An was taken aback.
"I... I earned it!"
Shun An's eyes were fixed on her neck, which hung a gold necklace.
"Can you see your necklace?" Shun An asked.
"It's just a necklace, nothing pretty!" Autumn red disguise.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is Miss Lu's, hanging a piece of jade below!"
Qiu Hong's expression became nervous.
Shun An forced her to look at her, and said word by word: "Tell me, why is it here for you?" β
"I gave it to me, Miss!" Qiu Hong argued strongly.
"It can't be stolen, right?" Shun An held on.
Qiu Hong was embarrassed, and the guy came up with side dishes and placed them on the table one by one.
"Eat." Soon An changed to a smile almost instantly, "I'm hungry too." "Take chopsticks and pick up the vegetables and bring them to your mouth.
After eating for a while, Qiu Hong obviously figured it out and looked up: "Xiaodi, to tell you the truth, I took a little bit of something from Miss." I've been serving Miss for more than ten years, and this is what I deserve. Besides, if the Lu family is bankrupt, if I don't take it, someone else will take it. I have seen with my own eyes that their house, as well as everything in the house, has been sealed by the government. β
"I know." Shun An smiled and gulped down.
"Xiaodi," Qiu Hong stared at him without appetite, "I'm looking for you, I want to ask you a word!" β
"You say." Thuan An continued to eat.
"Do you still want to marry Miss?"
"I don't know."
"I advise you not to marry her, she has nothing, she is poorer than me!"
"If you don't marry her, who will you let me marry?" Shun An put down his chopsticks and smiled at her.
"Marry me!" Qiu Hong looked excited, "You promised me!" As long as you are willing to marry me, I will give you all the money! β
"Where do you live?"
"It's where you used to live, three doors away, counting east, and it's an attic like yours, and I rented it. Don't stay here, come with me tonight!" β
"No, I promised my friend to keep the house." Shun An shook his head.
"So... I'll stay with you, okay?"
"No, it doesn't. My friend wouldn't let anyone but me live in his house. β
"How many days are you going to keep watch?" Qiu Hong asked.
"Three days."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
It was already midnight when Qiu Hong left.
Shun An lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep for a long time. Baguio's matter has not yet been taken off, and Qiu Hong has come to the door again, which is really a big head. Baguio is quite good, after all, she is a young lady, and Qiu Hong is easy to say.
Shun An thought about it and devised N ways to get rid of it, but he vetoed it. Shun'an had a big night, and fell asleep groggily when the sky was about to dawn, and was woken up by Zhang Hu when he was sleeping beautifully.
"I'm still sleeping!" Zhang Hu lifted his quilt.
Shun An rubbed his eyes, sat up, and stretched.
"Did you lose it last night?" Zhang Hu laughed a few times and lowered his voice, "I've learned that your little lady is a powerful character, and the waves are so long, and the three men can't handle her!" β
"What?" Shun'an's face turned red and gave him a blank look.
"Huh?" Zhang Hu raised his wrist and handed the watch to him, "You see clearly, it's past twelve o'clock!" β
"I had an incident last night, and I was tormented until dawn!"
"Hey," Zhang Hu came to his senses, "Tell me quickly, this Chenguang is boring!" β
Shun An briefly said about Qiu Hong's trouble.
"Little Niang Bili," Zhang Hu smacked his tongue, "This slut is also ruthless enough!" Brother, where are you going to do it? β
"If I knew what to do, I would sleep soundly!" Shun An smiled bitterly.
"Give it to Brother Zhang, will it be?"
"This..."
"Brother can't be pity for the jade, right?" Zhang Hu stared at him.
"Okay." Shun An gritted his teeth.
Late at night, bang, bang, three rhythmic knocks on the door.
Qiuhong woke up, hugged the corner of the quilt, and looked at the door vigilantly.
Bang bang bang bang
"Who?" Qiu Hong asked.
There was silence.
Qiuhong listened carefully.
There was silence all around.
Qiuhong thought that she had misheard, and was surprised to herself, bang, bang, and there were three more sounds on the door.
Suddenly realizing that it was Shun'an, Qiu Hong's heart was pounding, and her voice trembled: "Is it Xiaodi?" β
A soft cough came in.
"Oh my God, it's really Xiaodi, it's only been two days!" Qiu Hong muttered excitedly, lit the lamp, jumped out of bed, and opened the door.
Two dark shadows flashed outside the door.
Qiu Hong didn't have time to react, and her two arms were twisted by them.
Qiu Hong screamed instinctively, but as soon as her mouth opened, a piece of linen was stuffed in.
Immediately after, a dark shadow flashed in the doorway again.
Qiu Hong's face turned pale.
Under the light, the three men were all dressed in black, masked, and their eyes showed a fierce light, and they looked like thugs on the road.
The last one to come in was obviously the boss.
The boss bolted the door with his hand, grabbed Qiuhong's face, took a closer look, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, the goods are good!" Then he turned to the two of them, "Strip naked!" β
The two thugs pushed Qiu Hong onto the bed and stripped her naked.
The boss slowly took off his pants and took her ** in Qiu Hong's desperate struggle.
Looking at the red blood between Qiu Hong's legs, the boss smacked his mouth a few times: "Xiao Saobi, it's still a place!" He bowed to the two of them again, "It's your turn!" β
Two thugs came up one after the other.
After the atrocity was over, the boss shouted: "Little Sao Niang, say, where is the treasure?" β
Qiuhong's mouth was still gagged and shrunk on the bed.
The boss snorted, and the two thugs tossed up and down, and finally found a package from under the bed, and shook it open to see that it was all the softness of Qiu Hong.
The boss took off the necklace around Qiu Hong's neck, stuck Qiu Hong's neck with one hand, and looked fierce: "Little Niangbi, if you dare to report to the official, I will prick thirty-six holes in you!" The other hand flashed its blade and shook it in front of her eyes.
Just when Qiu Hong was about to lose his breath, the boss let go of his hand, put away the knife, opened the door, and strode out.
The three thugs made an exaggerated staircase to the bottom of the stairs and down the alley.
It was dark, Jeju and Ge Li were settling the children to sleep, Ah Xiang hurried over, panting and said, "Brother, hurry, Miss Lu is gone!" β
Jerk and Ge Li glanced at each other.
"What's missing?" Jerk asked urgently.
"I don't know. Ziber is crazy and is looking for someone. β
Jerk your head in thought.
Ge Li pushed him, and the person stood up: "What are you stunned for?" Hurry up and find someone! β
The three of them ran out in a hurry.
The lights of thousands of homes are gradually extinguished, the moon rises, and the moonlight sprinkles all over the streets and alleys.
Jerk and Ge Li run all over the street.
The jerk slowed down and gradually stopped.
Ge Li hurriedly said: "Let's go, go to the riverside and have a look, maybe she will jump off the river!" β
Jeju grabbed her arm: "Quick, Siming Mansion!" β
The two of them ran to the Siming Office, pushed open the door, and rushed to the coffin where Junyi and Ah Xiu were buried.
The door is closed.
Jerk the door and close it firmly. Jerk kicked the door, kicked a few times, and the door was knocked open.
The coffin was filled with the pungent smell of decomposing corpses.
Baguio sat quietly in front of his father's coffin, his head tilted.
"Miss, missβ" jerk snapped.
Baguio did not answer.
The jerk was about to scream again, Ge Li flashed over, reached out to pick up Baguio, and rushed out of the house.
Ge Li hugged Baguio away from the coffin, and when she was walking, she felt the dampness and heat on her body, and when she looked down, blood was gurgling out of her wrists under the moonlight.
"Oh my God!" Ge Li exclaimed, put her on the ground, and pressed her wrist tightly, "Jerk, quickly, tear a piece of cloth for me!" β
Jerk tore through his clothes, tore out a strip, and handed it over.
Ge Li wrapped her arm tightly with a strip of cloth, pinched the wound hard, and glanced at Jeju: "What are you stunned?" Hug it up and go to the hospital! β
Jerk picked up Baguio, Ge Li pinched her wrist and rushed out of the office.
The two took her to the nearest Westerner Hospital, where the doctor on duty examined the wound. The injury is not serious, Baguio is ruthless in the end, the cut is not deep, plus the rescue is timely, the blood loss is not too much, and the coma is caused by too much sadness and blood attack. The doctor bandaged the wound, prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs, and in order to prevent accidents, injected penicillin and arranged for her to be admitted to the ward for observation.
Within half an hour, Baguio woke up, opened his eyes, and looked at everything around him in amazement.
Ge Li sat on the edge of her bed, looking at her eagerly.
Jerk brought water and handed it to Ge Li.
Ge Li fed her, her eyes soft.
Baguio gradually understood, looked at the wrist that had just been bandaged, turned to Jerk and Ge Li, and the two lines of tears flowed silently.
Jeju and Ge Li glanced at each other and let out a long sigh.
"Little Lizi," said Jeju in a low voice, "you stay here, I tell Qi Bo to go, he must be in a hurry!" β
Ge Li nodded.
Hearing the jerk's footsteps walking away, Baguio slowly opened a pair of blurry teary eyes, and his eyes were complaining: "You... β
"Silly girl, tell me, what is there that you can't think about?" Ge Li took her hand and asked softly.
Baguio sobbed.
"Is it for your Abba?" Ge Li controlled his tone and persuaded him step by step, "People are gone, and people can't be resurrected after death." If all the people in the world are like you, if your relatives leave, you will follow them, and there will be no one in this world for a long time. β
Baguio was still sobbing.
"Is it for your family's property?" Ge Li glanced at her, "In this world, property is a good thing, but it is not the most important thing. With or without money, life is always to be lived. Rich and rich, poor without money. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there is another village in the willows and flowers, and there are only people in the world who drive money away, and there is no money to drive people away. What's more, money is flowing water, it flows to the east today, and it flows to the west tomorrow, there is no money in this Chenguang, maybe it will come back in the Ming Dynasty, don't you say? β
Baguio continued to sob.
"Is it for the guilty thief?" Ge Li finally got to the topic, "I know what you are doing, and I know everything before and after. What kind of person Fu Xiaodi is, I know better than Ah Mei. I only tell Ah Mei one sentence, it's not worth it to seek death for a snob like Fu Xiaodi! There are many good young men in the world, Ah Mei is talented, as bright as summer flowers, she is a real young lady's body and princess heart, why hang herself on his crooked tree? I won't tell you the truth, fortunately, Ah Mei didn't die, if she really let go, wouldn't she be a ghost? β
Hearing the words "Qu Death Ghost", Baguio became more and more sad, buried his head in the quilt, and whimpered and convulsed.
"Sister, you have to think about it." Seeing the speculation, Ge Li struck while the iron was hot, "In the world, negative men are everywhere, Ah Mei can't live for this kind of person, let alone die for this kind of person!" β
Baguio cried even more sadly.
"Sister," Ge Li's eyes rolled, "To deal with this kind of person, you can only use one trick, that is, live a life and let him see, not only make him regret it, but also make him regret it so much that he wants to die!" β
"You..." Baguio's voice choked up, begging bitterly, "Don't talk about it, I don't want to hear anything, I just want to die, I don't want to live, you... and Wu Jeju, you can do well, fulfill me, fulfill a poor person!" β
"Okay sister," Ge Li's eyes rolled a few more times, "I know you don't want to live, and I want to fulfill you." But if you think about it, it's easy for you to die, your eyes are closed, your heart is horizontal, and you're gone. But what about that little life in you? People haven't seen the world yet, have they? People haven't suffered a trace of grievances, haven't they? People don't want to die, do they? Ah Mei's heart is dead, but other people's hearts are not dead! β
Ge Li's needle was pierced to the death hole, and Baguio covered her face with her hands and cried.
Ge Li put her hand on her lower abdomen, and after she cried for a while, she said unhurriedly: "Sister, you listen to my advice again." In this life, there are some things that can be lost and replaced, and some things that cannot be lost or replaced. Does Ah Mei know what things can be lost and replaced? Pulling at her clothes, "This dress is." Clothes always have to be lost and replaced, I believe that Ah Mei will not always keep an old clothes and not let go. It's the man who looks exactly like the clothes. There are men who can live, and there are no men who can live. You can live with this man, you can live without this man, don't you say? β
Baguio's cry was a little quieter, obviously pondering Ge Li's words.
Ge Li put her hand on Baguio's belly: "There are some things that cannot be lost or replaced, such as this child. If the husband is gone, you can remarry, and if the man is gone, you can change again, but the child will always be your own. Parents are also always their own. Other men can't be trusted, only Abba can be trusted, only sons can be trusted. Other women can't believe it, but everyone can trust their mother, and everyone can trust their daughter. This is the principle of ancient and modern, don't you say? β
"I... my Abba is gone, my mom is gone!"
"I know," replied Ge Li, "but you have this child." In a few months, the little one will be born. Whether it's a son or a daughter, it's all meat that has fallen from you, and it will be with you. You can't live without him, and he can't live without you! β
Baguio covered his face with his hands and cried again: "I... How can I live?" I'm doing evil..."
Ge Li shuddered in her heart, and couldn't help but shudder, and wondered: "Yes, a yellow flower girl, a rich lady who has never suffered the slightest grievance, how can she bear to give birth to a child without knowing it?" β
Leaving the hospital, jerk rushed to Baguio's new home.
The courtyard gate was wide open, and the light came out of the gate, reflecting the alley transparently.
Qi Bo stood outside the courtyard gate, looking anxious.
Seeing the jerk from afar, Qi Bo greeted him, and his voice was hoarse: "Jerk..."
"Found it, in the hospital." Jerk continued.
"What's she?" Zieber let out a sigh of relief.
Jerk briefly talked about Baguio's suicide by cutting his wrists and sending him to the hospital, and Qi Bo Lao burst into tears.
"Alas..." jerked a long sigh, "Uncle Lu, he shouldn't let go!" β
"Yes," Qi Bo wiped away his old tears, "Junyi has been shrewd all his life, but since he fried rubber stocks, he has changed people, everything is confused, and no one listens to him!" "Walk back to the courtyard door, lock it, pull up the jerk and hurry out of the alley, and run to the hospital.
Baguio fell asleep.
Ziber looked at her for a moment, then pulled it out and sat down on the bench in the waiting room.
It didn't take long for Ge Li to come out.
"Little Lizi, Qi Bo thanks you." Ziber smiled at her.
"Seventh Grandfather, you tease me!" Ge Li smiled back, sat down beside him, and looked at Jerk, "I've figured it out, Baguio's body is not a dead knot." Her heart is not dead, and there is still hope, that is, this child in her body! β
Qi Bo nodded: "Yes." β
"The matter at hand is, how can this child be born in a dignified manner. Baguio is arrogant, if she doesn't have an explanation, she would rather die! β
"Yes." Qi Bo nodded again, thought for a long time, and raised his head, "Why don't I take her back to my hometown and let her live at my grandmother's house?" β
"I mentioned it, and she'd rather die. Besides, the hometown is all acquaintances, and she also got involved with the bastard of the Fu family, if it spreads outside, how can she see people? β
"How can you do it? The young lady has not been aggrieved when she is young, and she is looking for someone to marry casually, I am afraid that it is inappropriate. Besides, in the current situation, even if the young lady is willing, who is willing to come..." β
Jerk's brow tightened.
"Qi Bo, this matter is slowly discussed. She has this hope, and she can't make a big deal out of it for a while. I haven't slept all night, I'm sleepy, you two keep her, I'll go back to sleep. Ge Li stood up and left.
Jeju also stood up: "Qi Bo, I also have some matter, come back tomorrow morning." β
Qi Bomu sent the two away, and after a long pause, he returned to the ward.
On the way back, Jeju kept his head down and kept walking forward, Ge Li accosted him a few times, but he didn't hear it.
Back in Angel Garden, Jeju did not enter his house, but followed Ge Li into her room.
"It's too late, you don't sleep, what are you doing in my room?" Ge Li stared at the jerk.
"I..." jerk hesitated, "I have something to say." β
"I know," Ge Li glanced at him, "you've been holding your way!" β
Jerk bit his lip and stared at Ge Li.
"Tell me!"
Jerk was still staring at her, his lips biting even tighter.
Ge Li closed the door: "It's okay now, right?" β
"I..."
Ge Li chuckled: "Tell me!" β
Jeju suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Ge Li, and pulled her to his chest: "Little Lizi, you look at my eyes!" β
Ge Li was taken aback: "What are you doing?" β
"Look me in the eye!"
Ge Li looked into his eyes.
Look at each other.
The jerk was one word at a time, and the words were firm: "Little Lizi, I have decided, I will carry this black cauldron!" β
Ge Li was stupid and stared at him in disbelief.
Jerk's face was solemn, obviously not a joke.
Ge Li finally reacted: "Oh my God, are you crazy? β
"I'm not crazy!" Jeju looked resolute, "Little Lizi, you listen to me." I mean, I married Miss Xialu, and Ming Media is marrying, so that she can give birth to a child in a dignified manner. But it's fake, it's for people to see. Actually, it's not! β
Ge Li was anxious: "You..."
"Little Lizi, you know, Miss Lu only loves Shun'an, Shun'an also loves her, he swore in front of the gods...
"But, what if you make a fake come true?"
Jeju knelt down and grabbed her hand: "Little Lizi, right now, right here, I propose to you!" β
Ge Li obviously didn't expect such a big change, and was stunned for a while.
"The gods of the Quartet are above," Jeju let go of Ge Li, and kowtowed to each of the Quartet, "I, Wu Jeju, to the sky and the earth, to the gods of all walks of life, solemnly swear, in this life and this life, I Wu Jeju only loves Xiao Lizi alone, and only regards Xiao Lizi as his wife. β
Ge Li's body was crisp, and he knelt down, slumped in his arms, and his voice was small and trembling: "Your little Lizi heard it!" β
"Little Lizi," jeju hugged her, "I think about it, there is no better way to save Miss Lu." Miss Lu is bent on death, but she can't die. If she dies, call me... How can I be worthy of Uncle Lu, worthy of me...
"I..." I know..."
"Little Lizi," jerk let go of her and stared into her eyes, "this matter is dark to others, but in our own hands, it is clear." Let's make it clear to Miss Lu, to Qi Bo, and to the old grandfather. When Miss Lu passes the hurdle in front of her, when she gives birth to a child, and when everything improves, I believe that Shun An will definitely change his mind, after all, the child is his. At that time, we will make the matter clear, and each lover will become a family! β
Ge Li bit her lip for a while and let out a soft "um" sound.
"It's best for you to tell Miss Lu about this matter, I can't tell you clearly."
Ge Li bit her lip again and said "um" again.
