Chapter 367 [Gains and Losses] (I)
Luo Lie went back very late, he went to the blind man's house to drink, the two talked a lot of about the past, when it came to the emotional place, the blind man howled and cried, Luo Lie was also quite emotional, unconsciously they have grown up.
When he returned to his residence, he saw that the light was still on in the living room of Xiaolou, Luo Lie walked into the living room, and Ye Qinghong was already asleep sitting on the sofa holding a pillow in his hand. Luo Lie took off his clothes and came to Ye Qinghong's side, Ye Qinghong opened his eyes at this time, saw Luo Lie in front of him, and smiled: "Are you back?" Smelling the smell of tobacco and alcohol on Luo Lie's body, he frowned and said, "Drink a lot, go, take a bath." ”
Luo Lie nodded and said with concern, "You've been waiting?"
Ye Qinghong said: "I didn't, I was reading a book just now, and I fell asleep somehow, go take a bath, the smell of my body." ”
Luo Lie said: "Well, you also go to bed early." ”
Ye Qinghong said: "Hey, my daughter is asleep, don't go to see her, you don't have to wake her up." ”
"Got it!"
Luo Lie walked to the guest room downstairs, although he and Ye Qinghong lived under the same roof, the two had always lived in separate rooms.
Luo Lie came out of the shower and saw that Ye Qinghong was still sitting there, so he walked over again: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Ye Qinghong said: "I remembered something to discuss with you." ”
Luo Lie came to Ye Qinghong's side and sat down, Ye Qinghong's pair of white beautiful feet were placed on the sofa, Luo Lie's eyes involuntarily fell on her beautiful feet, Ye Qinghong realized something, put her feet down, put on her slippers, and handed Luo Lie an invitation.
Luo Lie took the invitation and took a look, but it was an invitation to the ball, the invitation was given to Ye Qinghong, and the inviter was Zhang Lingkong.
Because Luo Lie had heard Bai Yunfei mention this person at noon, he also had an understanding of Zhang Lingkong, and he said softly: "This Zhang Lingkong is Zhang Lingfeng's cousin, right?"
Ye Qinghong nodded and said, "You're well-informed,"
Luo Lie said: "This person is famous in Huangpu, it's hard to think about it." ”
Ye Qinghong smiled: "But I don't know him, so I was confused when I received this invitation, I haven't thought of anyone remembering me in Huangpu for so long, until Zhang Lingfeng called, he said that he must come over to invite me, and said that he wanted to ask me to be his dance partner, do you think I should go?"
Luo Lie heard that Ye Qinghong was deliberately testing himself, and coughed and said, "Zhang Lingfeng is your good friend." ”
Ye Qinghong said: "It's a bit of a friendship, but since he refused to testify for you last time, I don't regard him as a friend anymore." ”
Luo Lie said: "But in the end, he still testified for me, in fact, he really didn't see the situation clearly at that time, so he can't give false testimony." ”
Ye Qinghong said: "You still have good things to say for him." ”
Luo Lie said: "I'm just talking about things. ”
Ye Qinghong said: "Then do you say I should go or not?"
Luo Lie said: "I can't be the master of this, and people didn't invite me." ”
Ye Qinghong said: "Then I'll go." ”
Luo Lie said: "Cheng!"
Ye Qinghong said: "You're not jealous?"
Luo Lie said: "Aren't you friends?"
Ye Qinghong was obviously a little unhappy, got up and said, "I'm tired, I'll go to sleep." ”
Luo Lie said: "Rest early!"
Ye Qinghong walked quickly up the stairs, her nose was sour as she walked, and tears fell.
Ye Qinghong decided to attend this dance, originally she wanted to refuse, but Luo Lie's indifferent attitude stimulated her, she felt that her efforts all the time were ignored by Luo Lie, and even other men invited her to be his dance partner, Luo Lie did not show the slightest jealousy, this is indifferent, maybe Luo Lie's heart has no place for her at all.
Ye Qinghong hadn't dressed up so ceremoniously for a long time, she wanted Luo Lie to know that she was not a stupid girl that no one wanted.
On the day of the ball, Luo Lie took Little Rainbow out to play early in the morning, and couldn't see them, Ye Qinghong's heart was empty, and she even began to hesitate whether she should be angry with Luo Lie, if Luo Lie told herself that he couldn't go now, or he didn't have to say it at all, invite himself out to dinner, even if they walked together, Ye Qinghong would immediately give up the idea of attending the ball, but Luo Lie still didn't come back until four o'clock in the afternoon.
Ye Qinghong had a feeling of being abandoned, the father and daughter went out early in the morning, although they got up later than usual, but they didn't say a word to themselves, and they didn't come back for a whole day.
Ye Qinghong felt more and more like an outsider, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't really enter this home, into Luo Lie's heart, Ye Qinghong cried and put on makeup, but she quickly calmed down, washed her face, re-made her makeup and went out, today she wants to live a good day for herself.
The new world was rebuilt on the basis of the Blue Mill, the Blue Mill used to be Mu Sanye's industry, after Mu Sanye's death, these properties belonged to Bai Yunfei, Bai Yunfei was not much interested in the operation of the dance hall, plus he became a Hua Dong in the French Concession, and the idea of transferring the chicken rib industry of the Blue Mill arose, Bai Yunfei did not know who the final buyer was, when the Blue Mill became a new world, the backstage boss Zhang Lingkong gradually surfaced.
If Bai Yunfei knew that the original buyer was Zhang Lingkong, he would not sell the Blue Mill if he said anything, although the price given by the other party was very suitable, after Zhang Lingkong returned to Huangpu, his business circle was mainly in the public concession, and they have always been peaceful and peaceful, but the new world is located in the French concession, which means that Zhang Lingkong has stepped one foot into his sphere of influence, how can Bai Yunfei be happy?
According to his understanding, Zhang Lingkong is actually a representative of the interests of the North Manchurian warlord Zhang Tongwu, Zhang Tongwu's life in Manchuria is not easy, in the past two years, with the continuous strengthening of Japanese forces in Manchuria, the South Manchurian warlord Xu Beishan's power has continued to grow with the support of the Japanese side, and Zhang Tongwu, who originally had the advantage of power, began to show a decline, and had suffered defeats one after another. Most people are no longer optimistic about Zhang Tongwu and his family, believing that it is only a matter of time before they are driven out of Manchuria, and in fact the whole of Manchuria may be in the pockets of the Japanese side.
In such a situation, Zhang Tongwu and his family had to consider a way out, and the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, in today's era, it is how to maximize the wealth of their Zhang family.
Ye Qinghong came to the new world by car, and when she saw the flashing neon lights outside the gate of the new world, she couldn't help but remember that when she first arrived in Huangpu, with her appearance and talent, with the help of Mu Sanshou, she became the most popular singer in Huangpu in a short period of time, and the only purpose she had in her heart at that time was revenge.
It was in the assassination of Ren Zhongchang that she met Luo Lie, the man who made her unforgettable, revisited the old place, Ye Qinghong thought about it, she realized that she had actually liked him from the first day she knew Luo Lie, but because of the mission of revenge, the relationship between them had to be positioned to use and be used. The people who participated in the framing of my father have now been punished, and this does not mean that the grudge has disappeared since then.
When is the time for retribution, the ancient precept of the ancestors is really very reasonable, she killed Ren Zhongchang, Ren Zhongchang's son Ren Tianjun launched an unscrupulous revenge for this, it was Ren Tianjun's revenge that made her have to choose to temporarily separate from Luo Lie, she left Huangpu for Europe, and Luo Lie had to take refuge in Manchuria incognito because he was framed for murder, and this separation made them separate from now on.
A separation caused an error between them, and when the wind subsided, Ye Qinghong heard the news of Luo Lie and Lan Ximei's marriage, and she originally wanted to return to China as soon as possible, so she stayed in Europe, which was three years.
Ye Qinghong didn't ask Luo Lie for anything in return, but she only hoped that Luo Hunt could have a small part of her heart, but Luo Lie's indifference and indifference this time greatly stabbed her self-esteem and made her think that she was simply dispensable in Luo Lie's heart.
Ye Qinghong often misses the time when only the three of them lived in the wooden house in Pale Mountain, when she was closer to Luo Lie. On the way to the new world, Ye Qinghong silently thought, maybe Luo Lie has never changed, even in Pale Mountain, he is just fantasizing, because there is no outsider to disturb, so the contradiction between her and Luo Lie is hidden, and when they return to the real society, back to the prosperous Huangpu, some crises can no longer be hidden.
What should come is always coming, Ye Qinghong looked up at the light box of the new world, she almost forgot who she was? Forgot what she was like, didn't Luo Lie like this? She thought of Little Rainbow, didn't Little Rainbow miss her Hong mother anymore? Thinking of Little Rainbow's simple and clear big eyes, Ye Qinghong almost cried again, and she came up with the idea of going back, what if Little Rainbow couldn't see herself when she went home? Ye Qinghong sighed softly, she was not Xiao Caihong's mother after all, maybe Xiao Caihong just regarded herself as a substitute, if it weren't for this reason, Luo Lie would not have rejected herself a long time ago.
Ye Qinghong quietly asked herself, when did she start to become so low, and when did she start to suffer from gains and losses, she had lost herself.
"Qinghong!"
Ye Qinghong heard Zhang Lingfeng's shout of surprise, she sorted out her emotions, and a noble and reserved smile appeared on her face.
Zhang Lingfeng is still dressed in a military uniform, he has not seen him for three years, he is a little fatter than in the past, it seems that the war in Manchuria has not delayed his pampering, Zhang Lingfeng has a female companion by his side, a girl who looks like a student with short hair with ears.
Seeing Ye Qinghong, Zhang Lingfeng immediately left her and strode towards Ye Qinghong, he stretched out his hand to Ye Qinghong with a smile.
