Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 3

In the spacious and luxuriously decorated room, Qin Haoran was sitting on the bed, while Xiang Ling was holding a bowl of minced meat porridge, blowing it while feeding Qin Haoran, very gentle and careful, lest Qin Haoran get burned.

After talking, Qin Haoran found out that Xiangling's full name was Gu Xiangling, and he had been working in the Qin family since he was six or seven years old. Qin Haoran also learned about his current situation from Gu Xiangling.

It's a coincidence that the name of "Second Master Qin" is also Qin Haoran, who just turned 17 this year.

This is indeed Hong Kong in [-], and the whole of Hong Kong is in the initial stage of economic take-off.The Qin family is one of the few wealthy families in Hong Kong. The family business mainly includes the "Longsheng Bank" ranked among the top ten in Hong Kong, the "Central Plains Garment Factory" for Europe, the United States and other countries, as well as several commercial buildings and other various industries. This kind of property is well-known throughout Hong Kong for its prosperity.

The Qin family was originally the leader of Shanghai's textile industry. When the Anti-Japanese War started, most of its assets were transferred to Hong Kong. With this strong assets, it developed further and became one of the most famous wealthy families in Hong Kong. The Qin family's The owner is Qin Haoran's father, Qin Zhongyuan.

Because today's Hong Kong still retains the polygamy system of the Qing government, many rich or a little rich people like three wives and four concubines, which can not only satisfy their own desires, but also show their detached status.Qin Zhongyuan was no exception, but he was relatively restrained among rich men of the same strength, only having three wives and concubines.

Qin Zhongyuan's eldest wife is Zhao Ya, the mean and beautiful woman who came to see Qin Haoran with Qin Zhongyuan just now.

Zhao Ya's natal family is also a well-known wealthy family in Hong Kong, and Qin Zhongyuan married her for the purpose of joining forces, so Zhao Ya is the second most important person in the Qin family after Qin Zhongyuan.Zhao Ya gave birth to a son for Qin Zhongyuan, who is Qin Haoran's elder brother Qin Haoyuan.

The second wife of the Qin family is called Meng Huijia, and her father is the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, who is considered an intellectual.According to Xiang Ling, this Meng Jiahui is not a kind person, and Qin Zhongyuan's son is Qin Haoran's younger brother Qin Haohan.

"Then my mother is Qin Zhongyuan's third aunt?" Qin Haoran laughed at himself while eating porridge.

Gu Xiangling nodded, with a sad face on her face: "Madam's name is Xu Fangfei, and she grew up with the master as a childhood sweetheart. I heard from Madam that her family opened a grain and oil store in Shanghai. When the RB people came to Shanghai, Madam Both of my parents died in the explosion, so my wife came to Shanghai with the master's family."

Qin Haoran frowned and said, "Since my mother and Qin Zhongyuan were childhood sweethearts, then she should be the main wife."

Seeing Gu Xiangling sighed: "Because Madam's parents died in Shanghai, she has no relatives and no reason after coming to Hong Kong, unlike the First Madam and Second Madam who have the support of her natal family, so although Madam was the first to follow Master , but was the last to enter the door."

Seeing Gu Xiangling's dejected expression, Qin Haoran said: "My mother... is not alive."

I don't know if it was a flesh-and-blood relationship that day, although Qin Haoran has never seen this "mother", he is inevitably a little sentimental in his heart.

Sure enough, Gu Xiangling's bright and crystal eyes overflowed with the same crystal tears, and she sobbed: "When my wife gave birth to you, young master, because of dystocia, although I was rescued in the end, my body has been very weak. Two years ago, my wife because of The pneumonia worsened, and he died of illness."

The wet feeling came from the eyes, and then spread on the face, Qin Haoran stretched out his hand to touch it, and tears burst into his hand.

Qin Haoran would not shed tears for a long time after experiencing so much suffering in the "previous life", but at this moment, the tears flowed unknowingly. It should be that "Second Young Master Qin" had a very deep affection for his mother, and also grieved for her death s reason.

"Young Master, don't cry. Madam loved you the most in her life. If she knew that you were sad for her, she would not be happy in heaven. Come on, Young Master, stop crying, stop crying." Gu Xiangling put down the porridge, She touched the tears on Qin Haoran's face with pity, but forgot that her tears flowed more fiercely than Qin Haoran's.

Seeing the same wet tear stains on Gu Xiangling's face, Qin Haoran also wiped them off for her, and said, "My mother treats you very well."

Gu Xiangling nodded silently, pursing her lips, the tears in her eyes could not be stopped, and she choked up after a while, and said: "Xiangling is from Vietnam, and she fled to Hong Kong with her parents back then. But life here in Hong Kong is better than that in Vietnam. It’s not much better, my parents can’t even support themselves, so when Xiang Ling was six years old, they wanted to sell Xiang Ling to the Kowloon Walled City.”

Qin Haoran was startled, he didn't expect Gu Xiangling to have such a miserable childhood, no wonder she was so scared when Zhao Ya threatened her that he would sell her to the Kowloon Walled City just now, it should be the shadow left by her childhood.

"Madam saw that Xiangling was pitiful, so she bought Xiangling from her parents." Gu Xiangling wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "If it wasn't for Madam, Xiangling wouldn't know what's going on now, or, There is no more Xiangling. Madam is not only Xiangling's reborn parents, she also taught Xiangling to read and write, Xiangling will be grateful to Madam for the rest of her life."

From Gu Xiangling's words, from Gu Xiangling's sincere gratitude from the bottom of his heart, Qin Haoran can see that his "mother" is a very kind woman.

Thinking of this, Qin Haoran let out a long breath in his heart. In his "previous life", he had no father or mother, so he couldn't enjoy the love of his parents, and the father of this "Second Young Master Qin" was extremely indifferent to him, which is rare. His mother was a kind person, but died of illness early, Qin Haoran couldn't help lamenting that he had no relationship with his parents in his past and present lives.

"Then do you know why Qin Zhongyuan dislikes me so much?" Qin Haoran asked again.

Gu Xiangling shook his head: "I don't know about this Xiangling. In Xiangling's impression, since you were young, master, master doesn't like you very much. No matter how good your homework is, master, I have never seen master praise you. You. On the contrary, the master loves the eldest and third young masters very much. They were mischievous when they were young, and the master never punished them."

"Maybe it's because the master is partial to you and the eldest and third young masters, so you give up on yourself, young master." Gu Xiangling said: "I don't like studying anymore, and I don't like flowers and plants as much as before. Instead, I don't like those outside. The same people mixed together. Those people dragged you to the mob last night. Fortunately, you were arrested by the gang. I heard that those who dragged you died in the gang. "

What Gu Xiangling was talking about happened last night at the "Nine Dragons Grand Prix", "Second Young Master Qin" was instigated by those cronies and got mixed up with the crowd, and finally there was a fierce conflict, and those cronies all died Well, although "Second Young Master Qin" was beaten up by the police, he finally escaped by reporting the name of the Qin family at the last moment, and was arrested by the police.

Later, it was alarmed that Qin Zhongyuan sent people to police to collect people, and spent more than 1 yuan in "hush money" to bribe the British in the police bureau, not to tell the story.

After returning, "Second Young Master Qin" felt relaxed, and his injuries were not serious, so he passed out. Perhaps it was at this time that Qin Haoran "returned his body from the shell".

Qin Haoran frowned again, because if Qin Zhongyuan was so ruthless to every son, it would be fine, that would be his own problem, but what Gu Xiangling said, Qin Zhongyuan clearly just didn't like "Second Young Master Qin" "That's all.This had to make Qin Haoran suspect that "Second Young Master Qin" was not Qin Zhongyuan's biological son at all, but the illegitimate child of Xu Fangfei and someone else.

But these have nothing to do with Qin Haoran, because if the fact is true, Qin Haoran can't change it.On the other hand, he is still excited about being able to regain his life and become a human being again. This feeling can only be felt if he has truly experienced death. However, no one else can have such a mysterious and miraculous experience as Qin Haoran, so Others can't know at all.

In [-], Hong Kong was under British colonial rule. The economy was about to develop rapidly, but the society was in great chaos.Take the underworld issue as an example. The British government has a conniving attitude towards the underworld in Hong Kong, and even encourages its development, because they adhere to the policy of "governing China with China" and use the underworld to maintain the basic order of colonial society.

The consequence of this is that the society in Hong Kong has become a situation where the government and gangsters rule together, and all kinds of crooked side businesses flourish.In contrast, the Hong Kong British government at this time was very corrupt, and almost all government departments had serious corruption problems. Hospitals charged red envelopes for medical treatment, and fire brigades had to pay for firefighting (water pipes). Thieves also collect black money and so on.

Among them, the most serious problem is the corruption problem in Hong Kong. It is simply to wear the same pants as various gangsters in Hong Kong, and to make money by colluding with each other.The classic movies Qin Haoran had seen in his previous life, "The Legend of Five Billion Detective Lei Luo", "The Lame Man", "The Three Flags of a Generation of Heroes", etc., were all made according to the social conditions of this era.

Ordinary Shengdou citizens living in this social environment can only struggle to survive in the cracks, but for Qin Haoran, there is nothing like this environment that is more suitable as the stage of his life.

In the "previous life", Qin Haoran grew up from struggling to survive to become a tycoon. Whether in the underworld or in the business world, he has made remarkable achievements. Within the sphere of influence, both black and white are fearful and awe-inspiring.

At that time, both Hong Kong and China's social systems were much more perfect, and it was very inconvenient to do things. However, Hong Kong in the 60s and [-]s was different. Not only did heroes emerge in troubled times, but it was also the best breeding ground for giants like Qin Haoran.
