20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 465 Encounter on a narrow road

Hearing this, Guan Fu was overjoyed. He slapped himself twice on the spot to cheer himself up, and apologized repeatedly: "It's my fault, Miss Xue. I am a reckless person and I speak too directly. No matter how many mistakes I made, they are all my fault."

Xue Yingqing looked around for a moment, then smiled affectionately and said, "Forget it, there's no one else now. Just understand my feelings."

"Okay, okay, Miss Xue, I think we are in love with each other, so let's seize the time, be honest with each other and get down to business, okay?" Guan Fu was extremely anxious, but he really had no ill intentions.

But Xue Yingqing heard this, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his face, and he said: "How can you be like this? You want me to entrust my life to you after just a few words? What do you think of me? A prostitute?"

"No, no, no, I don't mean that, I—"

"You despise me."

"No way!"

"But you know that people in the martial arts world are all unlucky. It's true that I have feelings for you, but you can't bully me like this, right?"

"No, no." Guan Fu was so anxious that he was at a loss. He explained hurriedly, "Ms. Xue, you are just trying to accuse me. You can always find a pretext! I love you so much, how can I bully you? I can even take out my heart and show it to you."

Xuelihong's eyes turned and she said jokingly, "Really? Then go ahead and take it out for me to see."

"I--"

Guan Fu was not so stunned. When the words came to his lips, his back, which had been straightened, suddenly hunched back. Lustful thoughts came to his mind, and he chuckled:

"Ms. Xue, it's too bloody to open your heart and lungs. How about... we find a place and I'll take out some other stuff first so you can enjoy it. What do you think?"

After hearing such vulgar and rude words, "Xuelihong" felt extremely disgusted.

However, the more disgusted she felt, the more flirtatious she looked; the more angry she was, the more charming and enchanting she acted. She had a heart as vicious as a scorpion, and she was impeccable, leaving no trace of anything.

As many obscene fantasies as there are in Guan Fu's mind, as many romantic hints are revealed in the eyes and brows of "Xuelihong".

What else could it be if not a mutual affection?
Xue Yingqing smiled and said, "Master Guan, you are too impatient. If you want me to follow you, you have to show some sincerity, right?"

"Ms. Xue, what sincerity do you want? Just tell me so I can hear it." Guan Fu seemed confident and assured.

"Master Guan, don't blame me for being too snobbish, but life is not easy in this world. I have to find someone who is capable so that I can entrust myself to him, right?"

"Oh, what's the point of being snobbish? It's all about money!" Guan Fu waved his hand and said, "Only incompetent men complain about women's love of money!"

Xue Yingqing nodded, holding his chin with one hand, looking at him with a watery look, and said: "Master Guan, you can say such words, you are a real man, and I am right about you."

"Don't worry, Miss Xue. I have plenty of money. Don't underestimate the beggars in Shuangcheng. Let me tell you this, if you pick out all the rich men in Harbin one by one and take a walk around, you may or may not know who is whose father!" Guan Fu was quite proud of himself.

Xue Yingqing said, "You misunderstood me again. In fact, money is not a big deal, as long as you have enough to spend. The most important thing for a man is to be ambitious and seize opportunities. Once you have power, money will come easily, right?"

"That's true, but now that I have both money and power, I will never treat you unfairly."

However, Xue Yingqing just smiled and said nothing.

After further questioning, she said quietly, "When I went to the beggars' place in Shuangcheng Prefecture yesterday, I thought you were Zhan Ye when I first saw you. After a lot of fuss, it turned out that you were not. The Huazi Group is not yours, so where do you get the money and power?"

Guan Fu was unhappy and said hurriedly, "Miss Xue, this is what you don't understand. Master Zhan is almost semi-retired now. I have been in charge of all the big and small things of the Huazi Group since the past two years. Don't underestimate me."

"Is it?"

"Of course not! Besides, Master Zhan has already made it clear that this Huazi Group will be mine sooner or later, and no one else can do anything about it."

Xue Yingqing pondered for a moment and said, "Is that so? Then wait until you become the head of the group, then come to Fengtian to find me."

"Hiss..." Guan Fu frowned and asked, "Miss Xue, what do you mean?"

Xue Yingqing looked behind him and seemed to have discovered something, then smiled and said:

"It doesn't make any sense. Others' things are always theirs. Who can't say that? Are you planning to make me stay here with you for ten or eight years before I can live a good life? I'm not young anymore. I can't wait. Who knows what it will be like in ten or eight years? If I have to serve others every day, I might as well just be Master Zhan's mistress!"

"No!" Guan Fu got anxious when he heard it. "The old man is so old. If you follow him, wouldn't that be the same as being a widow?"

Xue Yingqing shook his head: "I think Mr. Zhan is quite tough. It's better to be a widow than to starve to death. Besides, he has children. Who knows if he will regret it in the future? He is not reliable."

As she spoke, she gently placed her hand on Guan Fu's arm and said infatuatedly, "Master Guan, I won't say more. How about this, when you become the head of the Huazi Group, if you still don't despise me, you can come to Fengtian to find me. Of course, if you only want a fleeting romance and then you despise me for being too old, I won't blame you."

Everyone in the world knows that a man will not do anything evil if he has a virtuous wife. However, it is common for bystanders to see things more clearly than those involved.

Guan Fu was so aroused that he turned over the bowl, grabbed Xuelihong's hand, and said hurriedly: "Xue, how could I dislike you? Don't worry about this matter, it's mine, no one can take it away. The head is mine, and you are mine too."

"I was just talking casually just now. You must not do anything stupid." Xue Yingqing said worriedly, "I have a good impression of Mr. Zhan. He is very capable and he is also your adoptive father. If something happens... I am afraid of you... and I am afraid of myself..."

"What if?" Guan Fu said with disdain, "What if? My dear, you two are the real couple. He is not my real father, what are you afraid of!"

"I was right. You are a real man, but..."

"No buts, don't worry about it, it has nothing to do with you, no one can blame you. If the sky falls, I will hold it up. Just go back to Fengtian honestly, pack up your dowry, and wait for my good news."

"You are truly a man who can accomplish great things. You don't need to worry about anything at all."

"It's innate, and can't be changed."

"Let go quickly, I'll be embarrassed if someone sees us."

"What kind of world is this? There's nothing to be ashamed of. Let them see it. Let them all see it. Let them be envious to death!"

While Guan Fu was cheering and shouting, he stroked the back of "Xuelihong"'s hand, pursed his sphincter-like lips, and pretended to climb up and give her a "kiss on the hand".

Unexpectedly, when he was about to kiss her, the back of his neck suddenly felt tight, as if someone had grabbed his head from behind, and the whole person was forcibly pulled back.

Guan Fu opened his mouth and tried to reach out, but he couldn't get any advantage. He couldn't help getting angry. His nose was not a nose, his face was not a face. He turned his head away, furious.

"You fucking——Hey, is that Boss Jiang?"

It was silent and no one knew when Jiang Lianheng arrived, but judging from his smirking expression, it seemed that he had been standing behind Guan Fu for some time.

Jiang Lianheng held Guan Fu's neck, shook it, and asked with a smile: "What about you, do you want to be my uncle?"

"Uncle, uncle?" Guan Fu looked confused.

Xue Yingqing took the opportunity to pull his hand back, and explained with a smile: "I am older than you, and the boss always makes fun of this and calls me old, so don't mind it."

"Oh, that's what happened." Guan Fu quickly bowed and said, "Boss Jiang, nothing else, I just came to chat with Shopkeeper Xue."

"Is it."

Jiang Lianheng pulled over a chair and sat between the two of them. He leaned his hands on the table, raised his chin and said, "Let's chat. You're free anyway, so take me with you."

“This… hehe…”

Guan Fu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He stammered and mumbled. He stole a glance at "Xuelihong" and suddenly didn't know how to open his mouth.

He understood the power of the Jiang family and had heard of the "ghost knocking on the door" tactic. Although he was a local tyrant, he did not want to, and had no need to, provoke the Jiang family.

After thinking for a long time, he finally asked, "Um...Xue Xiao, Manager Xue, where were we talking about just now?"

"You're talking so much that I'm jealous." Jiang Lianheng continued, "I think you mentioned something about dowry, Shopkeeper Xue, right?"

Xue Yingqing nodded silently without saying anything. "Then let's continue chatting!" Jiang Lianheng turned around and asked, "Master Guan, is it okay for me to be here?"

Guan Fu was even more embarrassed, but he was unwilling to lower his face and be humble in front of the beauty. He secretly brewed for a long time, and finally made up his mind and said earnestly:

"Boss Jiang, Xiao Xue and I are sincere to each other, please help us!"

Jiang Lianheng suppressed his smile, but couldn't suppress the goose bumps on his body. He quickly calmed himself down and said calmly:

"It's human nature for men and women to love each other. If Master Guan really wants to marry me, I have nothing to say. I just hope my aunt can live a good life."

"So... Boss Jiang agreed?"

"How can she not agree? Her heart has already flown to your side." Jiang Lianheng said with emotion, "Besides, you are already old girls, how can you not be anxious? I, a junior, have been worried about it. It's better to have nothing than to have something bad. There's nothing I can do. If she is willing, I will give you two a backup gift."

I won’t say any more here.

If he continued talking, his feet would be crushed by Xue Yingqing under the table.

Hearing this, Guan Fu immediately smiled and said, "Miss Xue, is our relationship... settled?"

Xue Yingqing nodded and said, "I'll wait for your good news."

Guan Fu quickly agreed. Seeing that Jiang Lianheng had no intention of leaving, he felt it inconvenient for him to stay any longer. So after nagging for a few words, he finally turned around and left reluctantly.

Seeing his figure disappear from the window, Xue Yingqing's face immediately turned cold, and he murmured angrily: "What a thing, no rules at all. If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. I guess that Mr. Zhan was also a stinky guy when he was young."

"Which man didn't have some bad habits when he was young?" Jiang Lianheng said jokingly, "He came here, but I may not know it."

Xue Yingqing still refused to give in: "No matter if he knows or not, he is still his subordinate! If the son breaks the rules, the father must be responsible to the end!"

Hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed across Jiang Lianheng's eyes.

After a moment's silence, he suddenly asked, "Do you think that guy really dares to touch me?"

Jiang Lianheng expressed doubts about this.

After all, in this world, people say all kinds of nonsense when they get excited. Everyone is good at talking, but most people will still be cowardly when they calm down.

So, the pillow talk is the most evil. If you are instigated and fanned by others all the time, even the most honest person will inevitably do rash things.

If Xue Yingqing stopped at this point and no longer deliberately teased Guan Fu, he would never see her and would not get any response, and after a while, the lustful fire in his heart would dissipate; but if Xue Yingqing refused to give up and continued to send letters to her and flirt with her again and again, the fire in Guan Fu's heart would burn forever and would not stop until he achieved his goal.

Although Xue Yingqing did it on purpose, he still couldn't help asking, "What are you going to do now?"

Jiang Lianheng looked at the street view outside the window and said in a deep voice: "If Guan Fu succeeds, I will 'avenge' Master Zhan; if Guan Fu fails, I will 'help' him get the job done."

"Want to seize their territory and business?"

"Guan Fu's disrespect to you means he is disrespecting the Jiang family. That's the first point. Secondly, I don't need their business. What I want is the eyes and ears of the Huazi Group."

"You want a movie theater and a Huazi Group, be careful not to bite off more than you can chew." Xue Yingqing advised kindly, "Harbin is a complex area, no one can dominate it all."

Jiang Lianheng nodded in response: "I know that, but because Harbin is a complex place, I have to take over a piece of it even if I have to force it. You don't have to worry about it."

Xue Yingqing didn't want to intervene at first, but asked, "Why did you come down here suddenly? Aren't you here to have some fun with that foreign girl of yours?"

"I don't understand." Jiang Lianheng answered quite frankly, "Besides, Xifeng just came back and gave me a letter."

"Is Yu Dehai clear?"

"It's cleared. 'Foreign Guanyin' has also been received. Chuanghu's errand can be completed tonight. Go upstairs to pack up and prepare to go home for the New Year."

……

……

Winter nights come particularly quickly. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky is already as dark as ink.

The square in front of Harbin Station was brightly lit, with passengers hurrying to and fro. Russian horse-drawn carriages were passing one after another, and the sounds of hooves, whips, and wheels could be heard constantly.

Some are seeing you off, and some are welcoming you.

It seemed as if a train had just pulled into the platform, and a large number of passengers suddenly poured out of the exit, most of them were men working everywhere, wrapped in bulky, thick cotton-padded jackets, with all their belongings rolled up in quilts, tied tightly on their backs with a hemp rope, and they bent over, panting as they walked out of the station.

Not far from the entrance next to the station, a Russian carriage slowly approached.

Lao Ma stopped and snorted, exhaling white air. Then the car body lightened and passengers got out one after another.

"Boss Jiang, take these, these are all good stuff, take them back and let your family taste them."

Sheng Baoku carried large and small bags and stuffed them into the arms of Jiang Lianheng and Xue Yingqing. Dong Niya stood behind him and also helped to carry a lot of things.

"Did you bring the sausage? And the black bread and the candy?" Sheng Baoku turned around to check the things in the carriage. "Boss Jiang, I brought you two packs of 'Laobado'. Shopkeeper Xue, I knew you liked to drink soda, so I brought you a can of kvass. I didn't dare take more because it was too heavy. You can keep it for the journey!"

Not far away, Chuang Hu and Lin Qi were also saying goodbye reluctantly.

"Son, this is the fruit of your father's hard work over the years: A Record of a Boudoir. Please see the title page. Please keep it."

"Grandson, your grandfather brought you a Western illustrated magazine, an art magazine. I won't say more. Take it home and enjoy it slowly."

"Qi, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself. When my employer's cinema opens, we can visit each other often."

"Huzi, take care of yourself too. There are so many foreign girls following you. Don't let them get caught in a pile of crap."

The brothers hugged each other, unable to control their affection - even though they had already agreed to meet again in the spring. After all, the Jiang family would have a place in Harbin in the future, and there would be plenty of opportunities to meet each other.

I have no choice but to send you thousands of miles away, and we must eventually say goodbye.

Chuang Hu left in tears, and behind the monkey boy were six or seven tall and strong Belarusian girls. This scene was quite spectacular!

Not far ahead, Jiang Lianheng and others had already taken the lead and rushed towards the station entrance, so he hurriedly quickened his pace and urged the White Russian girl behind him to hurry up in Russian, which really attracted a lot of envious glances.

Jiang Lianheng pulled Dong Niya and led Xue Yingqing across the square in front of the station in a hurry, and happened to meet a crowd of migrant workers who had just got off the train.

With people coming and going, it is inevitable that there will be crowds of people.

Just as they were walking into the station, the leader of a team of workers suddenly stopped on the steps.

In the dim light, the man stood with his back to the light, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

He had dark skin and looked very old, with a weathered face, as if he had suffered a great disaster, but his voice sounded full of energy and a hint of doubt flashed between his brows.

"Brother Qun, what are you looking at?" The worker next to him joked, "Are you looking at those two women just now?"

The leader shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No, I was looking at the man just now."

"That man? With that outfit, he looks like a big boss, right?"

"Yeah...I think I've seen him somewhere..."
