Chapter 200 205 [Romeo and Juliet]

at the same time--
Macau, Dome Theater.

This grand theater was originally called the "Peter V Theater". It is an ancient theater located in the front of the Gangding in Macau. It used to be the assembly hall of the Portuguese in Macau and the gathering place for the Macanese.

Today, the European-style theater building of the Dome Theater is the only one in Macau and the oldest European-style theater in the southern region.

Tonight, this ancient theater once again ushered in wonderful performances by many high-pitched Italian singers.

There are many rich and powerful people in Macau, and even Hong Kong has many top rich people and important government figures. It can be said that the whole theater is full of seats.

Due to special reasons, this performance is not open to the outside world, so many ordinary people will not be able to enjoy it. To be precise, if there is no relationship, they will not be able to enter the gate of the theater at all.

It can be said that the audience who can enjoy the Italian opera here tonight are all high-ranking people with status and status in Hong Kong and Macau, and belong to the [-]% of the social elite.

At this time, He Chaoqiong, who was dressed in a white gauze evening dress, looked both graceful and luxurious, sitting in the center of the Grand Theater with a reserved posture, and sitting next to her was a refined and refined man in his thirties.

The man was also well dressed, wearing a black suit with a gentlemanly bow tie around his neck, in stark contrast to He Chaoqiong in a white gauze evening dress.

On the big oval stage, a soprano singer from far away Italy, wearing a retro European court gown, stood in the center of the stage with heavy makeup and sang loudly into the microphone.

Listen carefully, but what this female singer is singing is a wonderful excerpt from the world-renowned opera "La Traviata".

As far as He Chaoqiong knows, the first Chinese translation of Alexandre Dumas's novel "La Traviata" was "La Traviata" translated by Lin Shu at the end of the 19th century. In the 30s, there was a translation by Mr. Liu Bannong.

He Chaoqiong has read many versions of "La Traviata". However, it is not easy to understand this Italian opera "La Traviata" seriously, because to understand it requires the listener to have a considerable amount of European knowledge. Historical and cultural knowledge and experience.

The Italian opera "La Traviata" is adapted from the famous work of the same name by Alexandre Dumas. For 150 years, it has been known as the most brilliant gem in the history of world opera.He Chaoqiong had been fascinated by this opera for a long time, so when she learned that an Italian opera troupe was coming to perform, she booked a seat here very early.

It's a pity that Xu Jinheng, who was sitting next to her to watch the performance with her, was obviously not very interested in this opera. He Chaoqiong had already noticed that he covered his mouth with his hands and yawned several times.

Xu Jinheng really doesn't like this kind of traditional Italian opera. Xu Jinheng likes modern pop music, jazz, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung in Hong Kong, but he just doesn't like the loud voice in front of him. I only feel the deafening Italian opera.

Xu Jinheng can be said to be an outlier in the rich family.The reason why he became an outlier is because he likes to be in the Hong Kong entertainment circle the most, and has close contacts with beautiful stars in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, and gets closer.

Because of this, Xu Jinheng and Liu Luanxiong, another heterogeneous rich man, have always been called the two most romantic talents in Xiangjiang.

In fact, compared to Liu's "fascinating heart", Xu Jinheng can be said to be a very "infatuated" rich man.

In particular, the life-and-death relationship between Xu Jinheng and Hong Kong actress Carina Lau has been hyped up by the Hong Kong media, and has been hailed as the last pair of "Romeo and Juliet" in Hong Kong.

It is said that this matter can be traced back to 1986. Under the introduction of Wu Junru, Liu Jialing met Xu Jinheng, the grandson of the ship king, although at that time Liu Jialing was in love with her first boyfriend, a successful man in the advertising industry.When Xu Jinheng saw Liu Jialing for the first time, he had an inexplicable affection for this Suzhou girl, but due to his status, he couldn't act immediately.

Maybe it was a godsend.One night, Liu Jialing's car tire burst while driving out. She called her friend Wu Junru for help, and Wu Junru handed over the task of rescuing the beauty to Xu Jinheng. Anyway, Xu Jinheng appeared in front of Liu Jialing at that time.Wearing a neat suit, he condescendingly changed Liu Jialing's tires, just like the clips on TV, getting himself dirty.A descendant of the Xu family with assets worth tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars was willing to do such "heavy work" for herself, and Liu Jialing was moved.After that, Xu Jinheng took the opportunity to continue dating Liu Jialing alone, and finally touched his heart and successfully won the beauty.

After dating Xu Jinheng, Liu Jialing identified him as her Prince Charming and hoped to marry into the Xu family one day.However, the Xu family is a wealthy family after all, and in their eyes, Liu Jialing is just an "actor" who is eager to fly to the branches, so the relationship between the two is under great pressure.

Even so, the two resisted the Xu family's prejudice at first, and Xu Jinheng simply moved out of the Xu family and lived with Liu Jialing in a house on Old Peak Road.And considering Liu Jialing's idea to make the cohabitation more "justifiable", Xu Jinheng also held a small engagement ceremony.

After the news spread at that time, there were many rumors in the market. Some said that Xu Jinheng was just playing around and would always kick Liu Jialing away; There was no other way, so I had no choice but to use cohabitation as a comfort.

But no matter what happened in the end, Xu Jinheng and Liu Jialing finally parted ways because of the gap in status and the hype of outside public opinion. This pair of "Juliet" and "Romeo", who had been in love for a long time, broke up completely after two years.

After breaking up, Xu Jinheng met He Chaoqiong, the eldest daughter of gambling king Ho Hongshen, on a blind date according to the family arrangement.

Therefore, these two wealthy children who were both born with golden spoons in their mouths got together logically.After the two were photographed walking together on Victoria Beach by the media, Xu Jinheng, the man, announced their relationship directly to the media after calling He Chaoqiong's permission.

For this couple, the media in Hong Kong and Macau no longer collectively bad-mouthed Xu Jinheng and Liu Jialing like they did for Xu Jinheng and Liu Jialing.

The previous relationship flashed in his mind, Xu Jinheng tried to put Liu Jialing's appearance out of his mind, propped his chin with his left hand, slapped a debt, and tried to focus on the heavily made-up Italian female singer on the stage. At this time, He Chaoqiong, who had been concentrating on enjoying the opera by his side, suddenly said to him: "You don't need to be so hard on yourself. If you feel bored, go out and have a rest."

After Xu Jinheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He felt that He Chaoqiong was usually cold, but he didn't expect that he really cared about people.

But immediately, He Chaoqiong's other words poured cold water on him.

"Yawning like this will affect my appreciation of opera; Zhong You, your image will also affect me, what will others think when they see it..."

When He Chaoqiong spoke, he didn't even turn his face or look at Xu Jinheng.

Xu Jinheng only felt his chest constricted, and said: "Then enjoy it slowly, I won't disturb you, I'll go outside to smoke a cigarette."

After speaking, Xu Jinheng got up from his seat.

At this time, everyone was concentrating on enjoying the opera, and Xu Jinheng's move would inevitably disturb other audiences.

Seeing this, He Chaoqiong's beautiful eyes twinkled, she curled her lips slightly, then sat upright, not looking at Xu Jinheng who got up to leave, and continued to enjoy the opera without taking her eyes off it.
