my old life

Chapter 2147 Yoshikawa Mansion
Once I wandered alone in the rivers and lakes, my second uncle was my reliance, and used various methods to "trick me" to make me understand the truth in society.

Now all my friends are my reliance, each other in the Jianghu world, this kind of relationship is the strongest!
Time passed slowly, and the light rain outside the window turned into a violent storm, and the raindrops hit the window heavily, making people feel inexplicably cold.

Looking at the slowly burning cigarette in my hand, I fell into the memories of the past, from a fledgling boy to today...

At this moment, someone knocked on the door, the sound was not loud and the rhythm was very calm.

"Who?"

"Jennifer."

"Please come in." I said politely, the door was not locked, I don't know if she came because of Ono's affairs.

When Jennifer came in, I saw that she was wearing a black trench coat, which gave off a very formal feeling, as if she was going out.

"What's up?"

"The game time is advanced to tonight. Mike asked me to come over and ask you, are you going?"

"Of course!" I agreed without hesitation, I am not here for leisure and vacation.

"Then you change your clothes and leave at seven o'clock."

"Okay, can I ask why the game time is brought forward?" I asked politely, wondering if it was the fault of Ono.

"There was a storm at sea. Big D and Alex canceled tomorrow's plan. Tonight is playing cards with Mr. Yoshikawa's friends."

"It turns out that the opponent can't come, I know... I will prepare right away."

"Formal dress." Jennifer reminded, then turned and left the room.

I took out a cigarette and lit it, feeling that Mike had something serious tonight!

Before that, I had inquired about the gambling game. I thought Big D and Alex were tough opponents, and the rest should be fish in water.

If it is to kill water fish tonight, then the meaning of Mike's invitation to me is very obvious...to win over the interests!

If Mike lets me play poker, it means that I get some real benefits. If he doesn't let me play cards, then he is showing me some real benefits.

There is a big difference between getting and seeing, I guess it should be more likely for me to see...

Sometimes it is more exciting to give some tangible benefits than to give some visible benefits. This is also a means of winning people's hearts.

After smoking a cigarette, I changed into a shirt and suit. The storm outside the window was getting bigger and bigger. For some reason, my heart suddenly felt cold, maybe it was because of the weather.

At seven o'clock in the evening, I came to the lobby of the villa on time. Everyone was ready to go, and everyone was wearing very formal suits.

Everyone looked like they were going to a reception. If it weren't for Jones and Nisha holding suitcases in their hands, they really didn't look like they were going to gamble.

Generally speaking, the game is settled in cash, unless someone who is very familiar with it will use a cash check or play cards first and then pay the bill. It seems that the target tonight is not familiar with it.

The essence of many things can be seen through thinking about it. Tonight's opponent is not strong, and the relationship is not so familiar... It should be because I have never gambled before.

It is very likely that the big D and Alex are familiar with each other. I don't know if this is a pumping game, but I can be sure that the club must have strength in the local area.

Mike waved his hand to let me take a car with him, I nodded and stood by and waited for Mike to get in the car first.

There are many rules in society, and a person must distinguish the sequence. If I got into the car before Mike, it would be ignorant.

Nigger Carlson opened the door with an umbrella, Mike got in quickly, and I got an umbrella myself.

The pouring rain is getting heavier and heavier. The weather tonight is very suitable for gambling. For some reason, it reminds me of the first time I saw a game of killing water fish.

At that time, it was in Brother Long's mahjong parlor. The middle-aged man wearing a gold watch went to the mahjong parlor to shelter from the rain. He was cooperating with the big fat man and others, and he fell into it within a few days...

The car left the villa area smoothly, the windshield was blowing fast, but the front view was not good, and the speed was not fast.

Generally, in such weather, everyone stays at home, or plays all night in the casino...

After about an hour, the car came to an open manor. There was no crossbar or guardrail at the door. Through the headlights, I saw the word 'Yoshikawa Houseki'.

Under the illumination of the street lamps, the general outline of the manor can be seen. Next to the road is a grassy rockery, and there is a sculpture directly in front of the inner door.

This kind of place looks like a private manor at first glance, with a few cars parked at the door, and a glance at the expensive Lexus.

It is estimated that the people who come tonight are some rich people, who can participate in such a gamble must make money, but the trap is always hidden under the pie...

There is a barrier similar to the entrance of a hotel at the door. When the car stops, security guards come up to open the door, and there is also a very old man waiting to greet him.

I glanced through the car window and felt that this old man was of Japanese descent. This feeling is very strange. Although he looks very similar, he can tell at a glance that he is not an old man in China.

Mike nodded slightly after getting off the car, and the old man greeted him warmly. Judging from the tone and attitude of his greeting, the old man was definitely not the owner of the manor.

As the saying goes, there are only three things in the world that cannot be covered up, poverty, coughing and love.

Different people have different temperaments. When a person stands silently, he can't tell the clues. Once he speaks, he will have a professional habit.

I guess this old man is probably a housekeeper. When I was looking at him, he came over to shake hands enthusiastically. The moment I held my hands, I was more sure that his status was not high.

Generally speaking, one hand is normal when shaking hands, and both hands represent humility and enthusiasm. Humility is mostly used when the younger generation meets the elders, and age in turn represents enthusiasm.

No matter what line of work he is in, a well-established boss will never shake hands with juniors, unless it is when the boss visits poor households...

Entering the magnificent hall, this private villa looks like a small hotel with bright marble floors.

Under the leadership of the old man, everyone went up to the second floor. The steps of the stairs were covered with soft cotton yellow striped carpets, which looked very homely.

Generally, places where red carpets are laid are entertainment venues. Dark carpets are resistant to dirt and do not need to be cleaned too frequently. The lighter the color of the carpet, the higher the grade, because the frequency of cleaning the carpet is very high!
The second floor is a smooth corridor, the floor is all wooden floors, there is a rectangular shoe cabinet on one side, and a few simple sofas beside it.

Everyone has to change into simple indoor shoes here. The middle of the second floor is in the shape of a circular corridor. This kind of shape is very rare, and the surrounding pillars are all made of wood.

It feels like the whole villa has a smell of wood, and there are many murals of cherry blossoms and Mount Fuji on the corridor wall, which looks very stylish.

This is the first time I have entered this style of villa, and there is a smell of cherry blossoms everywhere.

Two women passed by in the corridor, wearing kimonos and stepping on small millet steps, their faces turned into ghosts, and they hurried past with tea trays in their hands.

The doors on both sides of the corridor are sliding doors, and they don’t feel like they need to be locked. Everything you see is basically made of wood, even the walls.

The old man opened a large sliding door at the end of the corridor, with flowers printed on it, which looked very elegant.

The old man opened the door and made a ninety-degree bow in an instant, which made people worry about whether his waist could bear it. I guess he was at the right place!
"Mike!" A middle-aged man with black hair and white silk came up to him. He looked to be in his 50s, and his hair was combed meticulously.

Mr. Yoshikawa looks very capable, no matter from his eyes or demeanor, he is very calm. The clothes on his body look like the old coats worn in ancient times, and there is a belt in the middle.

However, in the past, the upper and lower parts of the long gown were integrated, but this person is wearing separates, with trousers with wide legs underneath, which should be a kind of samurai clothing.

"Mr. Yoshikawa." Mike took the initiative to say hello, I stood still, and Jennifer and others did not move.

Generally speaking, only one person with the highest status is needed to say hello. At this time, there is no need to go forward to join in the fun. I looked around and looked at the room.

This is a rectangular room with a screen on one side, a low tea table at the end on the right side, and a screen with cherry blossoms and Mt. Fuji behind it...
