Chapter One Hundred and Five: The Woman Who Came to Me
The silence of the room corroded Helian Yao's heart, but he quickly regained his composure.
Walking into the room, he sat down slowly, and he looked at himself in the mirror.
The man in the mirror is unkempt, thin and decadent, where is there still a half-point shadow of Helian Yao's resoluteness and fortitude.
After looking at it for a while, he suddenly sneered, picked up a chair and smashed the mirror apart.
The shiny shards flew everywhere, but he didn't stop, picked up the chair and continued to smash it, and the entire dresser was torn apart.
The bottles and cans that Xue Mo didn't take away rolled down and smashed them, and suddenly the strong fragrance filled the room.
Helian Yao sat on the ground.
He picked up everything he could.
There was a familiar little black box, he saw with his own eyes that when Xue Wei left Yan Hui Garden, he didn't want anything with him, what was inside, why didn't he want it this time?
When he opened it, there was a small transparent bag containing several black pills, which gave off a very special fragrance, and he frowned, he didn't expect Xue Mo to take any medicine.
However, he quickly ignored it, as he saw that there was also a red diamond ring cut into a square shape.
This is the pink diamond he threw away that day.
I didn't expect her to keep it that day, but I didn't expect her to not want it now.
Helian Yao put the box in his pocket.
He stood up and opened her closet, which was full of clothes, but missing the ones she loved to wear every day.
Helian Yao sneered, this is a run away that doesn't even want home. How disgusted is she, Yin Xuejiao, that she doesn't even have a chance to explain?
Adjutant Zhang was listening to the ping-pong inside, anxious, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
After a while, suddenly the door opened, and the young marshal shouted at the door: "Adjutant Zhang! β
"In!"
When he looked up, Helian Yao had washed up, his beard was clean-shaven, and he was the heroic young marshal again.
"Go check, station, dock, check everywhere you can go, Xiaoxi."
Adjutant Zhang was frightened, "Young marshal, Xiaoxi doesn't know anything." β
"Say it again."
"Young marshal, Madame told me to take care of Xiaoxi when she left, can you spare her?"
Helian Yao's eyes were cold, "Adjutant Zhang, did you say that before Madame left?" β
"No, young marshal, that day Madame went to see her nurse in the torture room, and then inexplicably said that I would take care of Xiaoxi, I didn't think about it."
Helian Yao kicked over, almost kicking Adjutant Zhang down, and he didn't dare to squeak.
"Xiaoxi, and the red lady of Zuishenglou, they all brought it to me."
Looking at Helian Yao's face, Adjutant Zhang's scalp was numb.
Soon everyone brought it, in fact, Xiaoxi was in the house, and Adjutant Zhang didn't let her go in immediately, and waited for Mrs. Hong to come before letting them go together.
"Where did the people go?" Helian Yao didn't say a word of nonsense.
Xiaoxi and Aunt Hong secretly glanced at each other, "No, I don't know." β
"Don't know?" Helian Yao saw them in this room, stepping on a pile of glass shards under their feet.
"Xiaoxi, do you know how many people out there are coveting her?"
"Aunt Hong, do you know how difficult it will be for her to live outside as a woman?"
"You don't know anything, just mess around with her, what are you still taking Yunsheng this child, if she has anything outside, I will definitely light the sky lantern with you."
These words frightened Aunt Hong and Xiaoxi, and Xiaoxi didn't care about the broken glass all over the ground, and immediately knelt down, "Young marshal, is Madam really in danger?" β
Helian Yao didn't look at her, but looked at Aunt Hong, "Madam Hong, are you talking about what will happen to her, a beautiful and rich woman?" And she has a special identity, and the death of one Zhang Tiangui does not mean that there is no second or third. β
Xiaoxi trembled with fright, "Young marshal, I really don't know where Madame went, she deliberately didn't tell me, she was afraid that I wouldn't be able to stand the interrogation." β
Helian Yao snorted coldly, "I know that she is the smartest." Aunt Hong, tell me, where do you think she can go? β
Aunt Hong also knelt down, "Young marshal, Madam really didn't say it, but she took some money from me, and it is a silver ticket that can also be used on Hong Kong Island." That's where she can get acquainted with all these years, after all, she has been in school for several years. β
"Adjutant Zhang, go book a ticket, I want to go to Hong Kong Island immediately."
Adjutant Zhang was embarrassed: "Young marshal, but Mrs. Yajun is still in the hospital." β
"Then you stay and take care of it, and I'll go with Li Chengshi."
Adjutant Zhang is like a dog that has eaten a mouthful. Miserable.
Li Cheng was the officer who was slapped by Helian Yao that day, and in the first battle of Xishan, he was promoted to the deputy captain of the guards.
Aunt Hong and Xiaoxi finally escaped, Xiaoxi was clever, and immediately cleaned up the house after getting up.
Before leaving, Helian Yao ordered, "Go and order a dresser, buy the old things according to them, and the lady will be back in a few days." β
Xiaoxi was happy for a while and sad for a while, happy that she could be with her wife again, and sad that her wife still couldn't escape from the palm of the young marshal.
Helian Yao's military power is strong, but he can't control the heavens and the earth, there are storms and waves on the sea, and he is a day late when he buys a ticket, which makes him very annoyed.
He didn't believe that Xue Wei would stay on Hong Kong Island obediently, he was afraid that she would go abroad from Hong Kong Island, and he would really have no choice at that time.
The boat docked at Yangcheng before it could be transferred to Hong Kong Island.
He traveled south and north to countless places, his eyeliner was all over the north and south of the river, and he went smoothly along the way, and arrived on Hong Kong Island without wind and waves.
This small island is not big but developed and rich, many merchants regard this place as a paradise for doing business with foreigners, Helian Yao has a business here, he used to walk here to Nanyang with the name of Liancheng, but since the leak in Yuzhou, he has been more careful.
Anyone can come here, Fu Yanjin graduated from Hong Kong Island University, and it is actually easy to meet an acquaintance.
When he arrived, his subordinates immediately went to find someone, and soon got the news.
No way, the place is too small, and Xue Li's activities are concentrated in Hong Kong Island University, she has a good teacher here named Miss Zhuang, one sultry afternoon, Helian Yao came to visit.
Miss Zhuang is a woman in her forties, her identity is very powerful, she used to be the wife of the previous president, and then the president died, she taught at Hong Kong Island University, but she was treated as the mother of the country, so Helian Yao didn't dare to make a mistake, and wore a linen suit with a gift, which was very polite.
When he went, Miss Zhuang was playing the piano, and it was the farewell song that was played.
The sound of the piano was low and melodious, and Helian Yao listened very carefully.
After finishing the conversation, Miss Zhuang stood up, "Young Marshal Helian, I haven't seen you for many years, you have changed from a heroic young man to a general, but I have become an old woman." β
Helian Yao kissed the back of Miss Zhuang's hand according to Western etiquette, "Madam, your demeanor is still so beautiful and charming. β
"They say you're a piece of wood, but I think you're better than your father. Is there something wrong with coming to Hong Kong Island? β
Helian Yao looked at the woman and said in his heart that he would really pretend to be crazy and stupid with me.
Keeping a smile, he said politely: "It's something to trouble Madam, my fiancΓ©e, that is, your student, her name is Yin Xuewei, do you have any impression?" β
"Xue Wei, I have the impression that a very cute girl, also very beautiful, she is engaged to you?"
"Madame, do you think it's strange?"
Miss Zhuang nodded, "Of course." You're a soldier and she's a citizen, and I thought you were going to marry an Overseer's Miss, which is really strange and surprising. β
"Fate is destined, weren't Mrs. and Mr. also a very peculiar couple back then?"
Speaking of her deceased husband, Miss Zhuang showed a shallow smile on her face, "Yes, my husband is twenty years older than me, and the whole family was against this marriage at that time, but your father still helped to make a match." Helian Yao, you just came to me today to ask for this favor, right? β
Helian Yao smiled, "Ah Yao doesn't dare, and asks Madame to tell Xue Wei's whereabouts." There was a little misunderstanding between us. β
"A small misunderstanding? It's not a small misunderstanding that can make her abandon home and her best friend and run away in a hurry, right? Helian Yao, I have no children in my life, I treat Xue Mo as a daughter, and I don't allow you to bully her. β
Helian Yao smiled bitterly, "Where do I dare to bully her?" Madame, I can't afford to lose Sheikh, and I ask you to tell her whereabouts. β
Miss Zhuang actually lied, "Helian Yao, it stands to reason that I have to give you a face, but I don't know Xue Wei's whereabouts, I'm sorry." β
Helian Yao, who can lie and be as upright as her, can't find anyone else, but there is no way. She is an elder, and her status is there, Helian Yao had no choice but to stand up, "Then I'll come back to visit another day." β
"Helian Yao" Miss Zhuang shouted: "Don't put those dog legs of yours at the door of my house, this is not your sealing, I will call the police." β
Madame laughed. Helian Yao bowed slightly, and then pushed out.
After the person left, Miss Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, "Qing is better than blue, this kid is more kingly than his father, where is Xue Wei his opponent." β
At the door, Li Cheng, who was rubbing his hands anxiously, saw the young marshal come out and hurriedly greeted him, "Young marshal, how is it?" β
Helian Yao had a cold face, "Let's go back first." β
Li Cheng knew that there was no play, so he hurriedly followed.
In the car, Helian Yao asked, "Have you checked all the hotels?" β
Li Cheng hurriedly replied: "Yes, I checked it all, but ......"
Helian Yao waved his hand to stop, "Go check the middle school, she brought her younger brother over, and she will definitely sign her up for study." β
"Yes."
The car passed by the Repulse Bay Hotel, and a group of men and women giggled past his car, the woman was wearing a pair of Indian bloomers. The upper body was a small vest, and the skin was tanned golden brown, and when she saw Helian Yao, she flew at him, and there was gold dust flying on her heavy double eyelids, and her eyelashes coated with black ointment were like the cornices of an old house, and she could squat on an owl kiss.
Helian Yao looked away lightly, he was not interested in this kind of woman, and was just about to let the driver go quickly, when he suddenly heard a man say, "Manli, have you found out about the bottom of that mainland woman?" Was that child her son or not? β
Helian Yao frowned, he asked the driver to stop in front, got out of the car and lit a cigar, leaning on the car and smoking slowly.
That Manli thought that Helian Yao was fascinated by her, so she scratched her head more and more and more to show off her amorousness.
Helian Yao puffed a puff of smoke at her, and Manli immediately curled her thick red lips, and there was a mole at the corner of her lip, which she probably thought was playful, so she kept touching it with her hand.
Helian Yao threw his cigar and got into the car and motioned for the driver to drive.
Manli thought that she had caught Helian Yao, but she didn't expect the people to leave, and suddenly stomped her feet in a hurry.
The man next to her asked, "Manli, do you have a crush on that man?" β
"Who is he, and why haven't I seen him?"
"Lian Ershao of Lian's Bank, I heard that he is very rich, Kaizi from the mainland."
Manli's face was determined to win, "Tonight's Repulse Bay ball, I'll go, by the way, kidnap the woman you want, you have to help me get this man." β
The man's face flushed with excitement, "Great, I like her kind of woman who looks very good." β
The woman they are talking about is Xue Mo, and it is also a coincidence, she didn't dare to stay in a hotel here, so she rented a house, and her neighbor was Manli.
Although Manli relied on men's pursuit to make money, she never brought men to her residence, so Xue Mo only thought she was a modern girl and didn't think much about it. She also lived here for a short time, at most a month, and she would go to France.
That day, she took Yun Sheng to the street for the man who came to pick up Manli to see it, and she was worried about her at a glance, but Xue Wei didn't know it.
Miss Zhuang didn't tell Xue Mo about Helian Yao's arrival in Hong Kong, she didn't help Helian Yao find Xue Li, nor did she help Xue Mo escape him, as for whether they could see him, it depended on the fate of the two people.
Manli came home in the afternoon and knocked on the door of Xue Li's house.
Xue Mo was chatting with Yunsheng, and when she heard a knock on the door, she asked who she was, and when she heard the female neighbor opposite, she opened the door.
Manly brought her a lot of tropical fruits. Xue Wei refused and didn't want it, where is it easy for Manli to refuse, she stuffed the fruit into Xue Li's arms and followed in, "The house is really clean, you cleaned it up yourself?" But I don't think you're a good worker. β
Xue Wei is used to seeing the kiln sister of the drunken building, and now she smells a smell of wind and dust when she gets in with Manli, but the wind and dust are also noble wind and dust, and it is estimated that this woman is also a child of a rich family because she has fallen into the middle of the family to this point. In a place like Hong Kong Island, there are many girls like Manli, who are not Sister Yao but also do Sister Yao's business, but their demeanor and appearance are top-notch, and they are all powerful men.
Xue Mo didn't mean to discriminate, but she had to beware of the level of making friends with a child, and after accepting the fruit, she took out the hot dumplings, "Coincidentally, the nanny we hired will pack it, if Miss Manli doesn't dislike it, try it." β
Manli looked at the dumplings, her face was lonely, she said to the outside world that she was an overseas Chinese, but in fact, she was also from the mainland. She hadn't eaten the food of her hometown for several years, and now she saw a bit of a gaffe.
Thinking of the helplessness she felt when she first came to Hong Kong Island, she couldn't bear to pull Xue Xue into the water.
She took the dumplings and said, "Thank you, I just wanted to eat them." There's a dance party tonight at Repulse Bay. Do you want to come, so that you can integrate into the life of Hong Kong Island as soon as possible. β
Xue Wei shook her head, "No, I have to take care of my brother." β
"It's my brother, I don't look like you."
Xue Mo didn't like to reveal too much information about herself to strangers, so she smiled, "Maybe he's more like my father." β
"Then I'll go, you eat fruit."
After Manli left with the dumplings, Yun Sheng whispered to Xue Wei, "Sister, I don't like her." β
Xue Mo nodded, "I don't like it either, but it's not good to offend people when we first arrive." When I finish the school for you, you will live in the school and get along with your classmates. β
Yun Sheng was very reluctant, "Sister, why don't you stay with me?" I'm scared alone. β
"Yunsheng." Xue Mo touched his hair, "You are a boy, you want to become a man who stands up to the sky in the future, don't be so timid, okay?" Let's go to see the teacher Zhuang, her husband was 12 years old and went across the ocean to study, which was almost impossible in their time, and then he came back and became the president, how powerful do you say. β
Yun Sheng was very unambitious, "I don't want to do anything." As long as I can protect my sister from being bullied. β
"Yun Sheng is good."
Saying this, but Xue Mo has no bottom in her heart, and Hong Kong Island is not the safest, if Helian Yao wants to find someone, she will definitely be able to find it, but she doubts that he has the energy to find it, maybe it is unknown whether he can find himself leaving Yunzhou at this time.
Manli changed into a silver sequined evening dress and waited for the friend named Zhu Daquan to pick her up.
Zhu Daquan is a toilet merchant, with a few dollars on his body, he sleeps everywhere, originally he was obsessed with Manli, first because Manli has too many ministers under his skirt, and he is reluctant to spend money, so Manli has always been salty and indifferent to him. The last time he picked up Manli and saw Xueli, he thought it was a single mother who came to Hong Kong Island from the mainland to fish, so he wanted to spend a little money to make some cheap, which made Manli pull fiber from it.
Seeing Manli come out alone, he was not only disappointed, "What about that Miss Xue?" β
Xue Mo said that her surname was Xue here, and she didn't want to reveal her real name.
Manli shook her head, "Don't think about it, people are serious." β
Zhu Daquan looked at the lights in the house, very disappointed, no matter how good he was, he could eat Manli and order tofu, so he opened the car door.
Manli was thinking about hunting Helian Yao tonight, so she was bored with Zhu Daquan's hand on her lap, "You drive well." β
She didn't know that as soon as the people left, the people she wanted to hunt had come to the building where she lived.
Li Cheng said: "Young marshal, it's here, I checked, and a young woman surnamed Xue moved over with a child. β
Looking at the half-old house, Helian Yao frowned, "Miss Zhuang is old and confused, why don't Xue Fu come to her to find a better place to live with this kind of woman." β
Li Cheng asked, "Young marshal, do you want to go up?" β
Helian Yao was not in a hurry, "Forget it, don't scare her, go to the car and wait for dawn." β
"Young marshal, if you go back, I'll guard here."
Helian Yao waved his hand, "No, I'm only sure when I look at it myself." β
His car was parked in a place where he could see the snow room, and as soon as he looked up, he could see the bright lights, and Helian Yao smoked cigars one by one to refresh himself.
This place on Hong Kong Island is humid and stuffy, and there are a lot of mosquitoes at night, so Li Cheng found a fan to fan Helian Yao, but he bit a bag all over his face.
Xue Mo has been coming to Hong Kong Island for several days, but the problem of choosing a seat has not changed, and the weather on Hong Kong Island is humid, she tossed and turned last night for a night, and she has a headache in the morning.
When the doorbell rang outside, she thought it was a hired hourly maid to make breakfast, she opened the door, and her voice was full of sleepiness, "It's so early today, we have ...... dinner"
Before she could finish speaking, she immediately went to close the door.
What did she see? Helian Yao was knocking on Manli's door.
Her heart tugged at each other.
When I first rented the house, the landlord also said that he would give her the house where Manli lived, but when she came to see the house, she realized that she had made a mistake, and she chose the right door, but the contract wrote Manli's room.
Because she left quickly, she didn't change the contract, but she made Helian Yao find the wrong one.
Xue Wei leaned her back against the door and didn't dare to make a sound, she clutched the clothes on her chest tightly, where the pain was so clear.
From being captured by Zhang Tiangui to escaping death and leaving Yunzhou, they probably haven't seen each other for more than ten days, and every minute and every second, her nerve cells are tormented by the three words Helian Yao.
She always said to herself: "Xue Wei, you can do it, as long as you get through this moment, the next moment you will forget about that person." But the next moment, she still had to say to herself, "Wait, wait the next moment and you will forget about him." β
The more this happens, the clearer it becomes, and the three words Helian Yao seem to be sharpening every nerve with a sharp stone. The deep marks made by grinding became a pit, which could no longer be filled.
When I opened the door and saw him, I was so unprepared but turned a thousand times, in fact, she had humbly hoped countless times in her dreams that he would throw everything away, fame, responsibility, and power rushed to her, just for her.
There were two selves in her heart at once.
One said, Xue Wei, open the door, people who are so proud of him can come to you, what more do you ask for?
Another said. Xue Xuan, you can't go, if you compromise like this, then you will return to the original point in the past, the contradiction between you and him will not be resolved, and what awaits you is only sharing him with Fu Yajun.
Outside, she clearly heard a young man's voice say, "Young marshal, I'm sure it's no one, is it a mistake?" β
Followed by Helian Yao's deep voice like a cold weapon out of the body, "What about the door?" Who's at the door? β
Xue Wei covered her mouth tightly, "It's the courtesan named Manli." β
"Maybe we're mistaken."
After a while, the footsteps faded away. Xue Mo went limped and sat down on the ground.
Yun Sheng rubbed his eyes and walked out, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" How do I hear someone knocking on my door? β
Xue Wei quickly grabbed Yun Sheng's arm, "Go and clean up, let's get out of here." β
"Why, is that person here?"
"Don't ask so much, let's go."
"Oh." Yun Sheng hurriedly went to clean up, fortunately there were not many things, he rented here because he had everything and paid a high price, but now he wasted the rent.
When Xue Mo took Yun Sheng down, he happened to meet Manli who had played all night, Zhu Daquan finally opened the meat last night, and today he sent people back and saw Xue Mo again.
It's a pie-in-the-sky joy.
Manli looked at Xue Wei holding her luggage and asked, "What are you doing here?" Moving out? β
Xue Wei hurriedly smiled and said, "No, my brother is going to school, and I will send her to school." β
Zhu Daquan immediately offered his courtesy, "It just so happens that I am also leaving, Miss Xue, Brother Ling is from that school, I will give you a ride." β
Xue Mo was about to refuse, but suddenly saw someone poking his head here, looking very much like Helian Yao's guard officer, she was startled, and pulled Yun Sheng into the car. "Excuse me, Hong Kong Island University."
Li Cheng, who had been guarding over there, also found out, because he couldn't see clearly from a distance, so he strode over.
