Chapter 1865: Uncle is released from prison, and revisiting the old place brings back nostalgic memo
Chapter 1865: Uncle is released from prison and returns to his hometown, reminded of his past!
"Sir, which one would you like to visit first?"
"The English Suite!"
"Sir, please come in~" The waitress opened the door with a smile and stood by with graceful manners.
As Wu Mingfan stepped in, what caught his eye was the British-style decoration. From the notebook beside the entrance to the chandelier on the ceiling, every element had a strong British flavor.
The suite has a clear layout and Wu Mingfan took a rough tour of each room. The living room is fully equipped with sofas and carpets. There is also a desk and chair for office work in the living room next to it. Next to it stands an exquisite brick fireplace. Various exquisite small ornaments are placed in the room.
The bathroom is spacious and equipped with a classic old-style marble bathtub and a silver faucet flowing purified water. As for the toilet, needless to say, it is basically standard at the Peace Hotel.
The lines on the soft chairs and fireplace mantle in the restaurant, the silk cushions and decorative details all feel delicate and soft, and the spacious dining table can accommodate eight people to enjoy dinner at the same time.
The suite's walls, floors and furniture all feature rich, warm wooden lines, while warm-toned ceilings, carpets and sofa cushions break the dullness.
This is one of the top suites in the Peace Hotel besides the Sassoon Suite. This "British Suite" covers an area of 178 square meters, with a luxurious and retro design, and you can see the scenery of the Huangpu River through the window.
What is the "British Suite"? This is the earliest scene room. There are nine of them in the entire Peace Hotel. The nine-country suites are decorated with themes of China, Britain, the United States, India and other countries, with a strong exotic atmosphere.
After a brief tour, they came to the American suite next door to put down their things. Wu Mingfan was going to live there next door. The room next door was naturally prepared for his uncle, and he should repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude.
Yang Jingmao followed in, and at this time he said apologetically: "Mr. Wu, I originally wanted to book the Sassoon Suite on the 10th floor for you, but it was booked in advance by a Japanese businessman!"
"Well, it's a good thing I didn't book it, otherwise I would have been really taken advantage of!" Wu Mingfan joked.
Although the Nine Countries Suite is famous, it is not the most expensive suite in the Peace Hotel. The best suite in the Peace Hotel is the large apartment reserved by Sir Sassoon, located on the top floor of the Sassoon Building with an area of nearly 300 square meters.
Located in the tower, high above the river, the suite is similar to the Tudor style. The walls are beautifully decorated with wood panelling and large lattice windows bring in plenty of light. It is equipped with two bedrooms, a dressing room, a private entrance hall, a servant's room, a bar, a kitchen, a pantry, a private dining room and a spacious living room.
A night's stay costs 2000 US dollars, which is basically more than ten times the cost of a suite at the Jiuguo Hotel. Even if you are rich, you can't spend money this way.
The waitress didn't forget to remind me before leaving.
"Sir, the two suites are basically the same. If you have any needs, you can make slight adjustments. The telephone in the suite can be connected to an external line for long-distance calls!"
As a foreign-related hotel, the Peace Hotel has many "long-term rooms" at this time, just like Abao and Uncle in the middle. Most of them are doing foreign trade business, and they rent both suites and ordinary rooms.
Those who are not short of money will naturally rent a suite, especially since the Jiuguo Suite was the most popular at that time, so Wu Mingfan felt that Yang Jingmao was capable.
However, there are some people who are short of money and have to stay here for a long time. Usually they book two connected rooms, one for office use and the other for accommodation.
This is the only solution, as there are no regular office buildings across the country and installing a telephone is a hassle. Only foreign-related hotels can make long-distance calls, which is also for the convenience of trade.
After all, doing business nowadays requires style, gimmicks, and signs. It's like showing up in tattered clothes to discuss business. Who would pay attention to you?
The four bodyguards arranged several standard rooms next door. Wu Mingfan didn't have to worry about these things. After taking a shower, he changed into a bathrobe, sat on the sofa, picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Who are you?" A very gentle voice came from the receiver.
"Auntie, I'm Wu Mingfan~"
"Afannon has returned to the Magic City?"
"Well, my uncle will go home tomorrow, so I will definitely come back!"
Wu Mingfan never forgets the people who dug the well. When he went to Hong Kong two years ago, he did not forget to give some money. After he became rich, he would occasionally come back to visit. These two ladies were not living a happy life.
I have been living with the breath in my heart. After all, my uncle has been in prison for nearly 20 years. He has been in prison from the prime of his life at the age of or to his age of nearly when his appearance has gradually faded. However, he still has not changed his original intention.
Later, Wu Mingfan would fly back every few months, and it's not that he didn't provide a better living environment, but the two aunts always disagreed and insisted on waiting for their uncle to come back in that house.
We chatted for about half an hour. "Auntie, I'll pick you up at Room 72 of the Peace Hotel tomorrow, and then we'll go to Tilanqiao together!"
In the past they would have definitely refused, but when they heard this familiar place, they looked at each other in silence.
In the end, it was the eldest lady, who was the elder sister, who nodded.
"it is good!"
……
The next day
Wu Mingfan deliberately took off his comfortable jeans, put on a well-fitting suit, polished his leather shoes until they were shiny, and waited at the door of British Suite No. 72 with a large group of people.
The two ladies have been picked up and are now changing clothes in the room.
"Creaky!" The door of the suite was slowly opened.
The two ladies look similar, but if you look closely you can still find some differences. For example, the older lady is gentler, while the younger lady is relatively cold.
Even though she is over 60 and has wrinkles on her face, and some gray hair after years of aging, she is still elegant. She does not put on any makeup but simply puts on light make-up. Facing aging calmly has created an outstanding temperament.
One of them is wearing a light green slim-fitting cheongsam, and the other is in sea blue, making people feel as if they have returned to Shanghai decades ago. They are still as mellow as ever, and their elegance reveals the wisdom of life.
The hard times over the years didn't seem to have knocked them down, and their smiles were still full of sunshine and warmth.
"Afan, let's go!"
"Hey~"
He opened the car door and asked the two ladies to sit in the back seat, while Wu Mingfan got on the passenger seat.
Yang Jingmao was a little scheming and sent the driver away and drove the car himself. Although he couldn't figure out who he was picking up, judging from the scene, it was certain that the person was not an ordinary person.
There are many family members outside the gate of Tilanqiao. In this era when owning a bicycle is worth showing off, ten cars are definitely eye-catching. Santana is priced at 18 yuan nowadays, not to mention the more expensive Crown.
The car stopped and two ladies got out calmly.
After waiting for about half an hour, the tightly closed door was opened and Wu Mingfan finally saw the familiar figure. He seemed to be thinner than two years ago, but his eyes were still bright and energetic.
The moment he saw his two wives, there was no room for anything else in the uncle's eyes. Looking at the familiar clothes on his body, it was as if he had returned to 20 years ago.
After the three of them hugged each other and talked their hearts out, the uncle finally noticed Wu Mingfan after his emotions calmed down. Instead of being happy, he glared at him.
"You know I'm disgusted by these sour formalities. Why would an old man make such a big fuss?"
"Sorry for offending uncle~" Wu Mingfan apologized with a smile.
"Threshold fine ~"
After returning to the Peace Hotel and opening the door of British Suite No. 72, the uncle stepped in and looked at the familiar scene. For a moment, his cloudy eyes became moist and his expression was a little dazed as he fell into memories.
The two ladies actually had a tacit understanding, each holding a hand and looking at each other in silence...
To be continued.
