1928: The Rise of Giants

Chapter 363: People of the same mind reach an agreement

"Xiaodong," Mei Lanfang looked obviously gloomy when talking about Meng Xiaodong, "I failed her. At first, Geng Guang and the others came up with a clever idea - 'name and name', because I am an only son and have a long-lasting legacy. Therefore, I could marry the first wife of the second wife. At that time, my wife Wang Minghua was in frail health and could not have children. I only had the second wife, Fu Zhifang. It was not impossible to marry Xiaodong as the third wife. Unfortunately, no one expected that it would happen. Such a tragedy happened."

Ye Luo knew that the tragedy he was talking about was the death of Feng Gengguang.

In the past, a group of Mei fans, headed by Feng Gengguang, felt that Mei and Meng, one the king of male roles and the other the emperor of Xu Sheng, were a match made in heaven. They had been trying their best to bring them together. They put a lot of effort into this matter and succeeded. Make connections for them.

But the arrival of an uninvited guest broke their originally stable life.

Meng Xiaodong's fan Li Zhigang knew that Meng Xiaodong would no longer appear on stage because he married Mei Lanfang, so he shouted with a pistol that he wanted to settle the score with Mei Lanfang.

The impulsive Li Zhigang broke into the "Golden House" and killed Feng Gengguang by mistake.

This vicious murder not only caused panic in the Mei family, but also caused Meng Xiaodong to lose the support of the Mei Party.

What's more serious is that Meng Xiaodong encountered strong opposition from his second wife Fu Zhifang when he entered Mei's house.

After this incident, the relationship between Mei and Meng became very bad. Every time Meng Xiaodong asked Mei Lanfang for his status, all he received was Mei Lanfang's comfort.

As the days passed, Meng Xiaodong became more and more disappointed with Mei Lanfang. The relationship between the two became increasingly intensified and eventually broke down completely.

Last year, Mei Lanfang invited Meng Xiaodong to Shanghai to cheer for Ye Luo's New World Playground. First, he had the intention of easing the relationship between the two, and second, he tactfully hinted and rejected Meng Xiaodong, telling her to officially join the Mei family and become his wife. The possibility was gone, and he also knew that Meng Xiaodong did not want to be a concubine, a concubine who was criticized and had no status, so he was ready to cut off this relationship.

Meng Xiaodong had previously stopped performing on stage because she married him, and performing again at Yip's New World Amusement Park indirectly heralded the end of their relationship.

But Mei Lanfang didn't expect that her unintentional move would lead to Meng Xiaodong encountering Ye Luo, and sparks would fly between the two.

Now Meng Xiaodong has written many times to express her feelings, which also makes Mei Lanfang breathe a sigh of relief.

It just always feels weird.

I guess when Meng Xiaodong and Ye Luo get along well, she will still be his wife, right?

But that doesn't matter anymore. To him, this may be the best ending between the two of them.

Ye Luo knew that if he had not intervened, Meng and Mei would still break up next year, and their relationship would become difficult to ease until they die of old age and no longer interact with each other.

In the original history.

In 1930, Mei Lanfang's aunt passed away. Meng Xiaodong came to express condolences as a member of Mei Lanfang's family, but was blocked by a domestic slave.

The pregnant Fu Zhifang threatened her child's life and refused to let Meng Xiaodong in. The helpless Mei Lanfang did not say a word for Meng Xiaodong.

Three years later, Meng Xiaodong suddenly realized that this "name and family name" was just a dream that Mei Lanfang had weaved for herself. The so-called two bedrooms and the same living space was just his own delusion. The frustrated Meng Xiaodong resolutely decided to marry her. Ta Kung Pao published a revelation to sever ties with Mei Lanfang.

Her disappointment, her determination, she wanted the whole world to know that since she could not fulfill her promise, she decided to divorce her husband and break off the relationship with Mei Lanfang. In this way, their marriage came to an end.

After the divorce, Meng Xiaodong vowed "I will never see Mei Lanfang again in this life."

Later, Mei Lanfang came to ask for reconciliation on a rainy night, but Meng Xiaodong refused. Meng Xiaodong didn't even open the door. She was so sincere and determined in love. Later, Meng Xiaodong followed Lu Yusheng until the two of them went to Xiangjiang, where they were identified.

Thinking of this, Ye Luo suddenly thought that Lu Yusheng had done it himself, and couldn't help but smile.

Meng Xiaodong had two husbands before and after, one was raped by herself, the other was killed by herself, it was really a bad relationship that could not be cleaned up but became messy.

"Xiaodong and I were at fault for this matter. Mr. Mei, don't worry. When I get back to Shanghai, I have to come to apologize in person." Ye Luo expressed his feelings directly and was not going to cover up any more, denying that he and Meng Xiaodong relationship.

He took advantage of the situation and removed Mei Lanfang from this matter, so that he could divorce with peace of mind, so that everyone would not be unhappy.

"Haha, the second young master is joking. You and Xiao Donglang are talented and beautiful, and you are in love with each other. It is good for her and me. What is there to be sad about?" Mei Lanfang is absolutely unwilling to be with him, either for his own sake or for his own interests. Ye Luo broke up, and besides, this matter was good news for him. His smile was particularly sincere, "By the way, Second Young Master, you have to think about something carefully."

"What's the matter, Mr. Mei just says it's okay." Ye Luo said seriously.

Mei Lanfang sighed: "Xiaodong has a very stubborn temper. She is never willing to be subordinate to others and be a concubine. I heard that the second young master already has his wife, Miss Bai Xiuzhu."

"I know about this. Thank you, Mr. Mei, for reminding me." Ye Luo clasped his fists in thanks.

Mei Lanfang would never have imagined that Meng Xiaodong had expressed his feelings for Ye Luo in Fengtian, and was even willing to be a slave and a maid. She didn't even need to be a concubine, and just wanted to be an outsider's lover to get his love.

This deep love for Ye Luo made Meng Xiaodong suddenly realize that true love can make people desperate.

She was very obsessed with entering the Mei family, but when facing Ye Luo, it didn't seem to matter whether she could enter the Ye family, as long as she could always be by his side.

The two chatted for a while, and Ye Luo had to deal with stock market-related matters, so he said goodbye to him and left Bainaohui.

Walking on the bustling streets of New York, you can see high-spirited people discussing stocks everywhere, as if stocks have been integrated into their lives and become a part of them.

New York is far more prosperous than Shanghai. Taxis are everywhere here. There are no backward rickshaws at all. The fashionable and modern atmosphere fills the air, like a huge gold sales cave, tempting speculators from all over the world. Earn money and consume.

A few days ago, he asked Situ Feifei to get himself a Ford car, and now he drove the car himself, driving Shi Jianqiao, Xu Wenqiang and Huo Ting'en around the streets of New York.

"If one day every city in the country can become so prosperous, I can't imagine how powerful China will be at that time." Huo Ting'en said with emotion, "Before, in Tianjin, I thought Tianjin was the most prosperous city, and then I came to Shanghai Beach, I felt like I was slapped in the face, and now I’m in New York again.”

"There will be such a day. And, as long as we live a little longer, we should be able to see it." Ye Luo was born in 1906. It is not impossible that he will be almost a hundred years old in the new century.

"Second Young Master lied again~" Shi Jianqiao hummed a few times, not quite believing what he said.

While they were chatting, the Ford slowly drove into the parking lot in front of the General Motors Building.

Seeing the familiar sign, several people curiously asked Ye Luo why he came here suddenly.

Ye Luo smiled mysteriously and said to them: "I've been a little tight lately, so I'm going to come here to ask for money."

Towards the end of May, if nothing else goes wrong, there will be a small wave of oscillations in the U.S. stock market, just enough for him to try short selling. In order to have sufficient funds, Ye Luo plans to directly sell his shares of General Motors.
