Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 42 Fox
"Mr. Qin is too modest. To be able to make friends with Mrs. Qin, you must be very unusual, Mr. Qin. I should be the one who feels ashamed." Ni Zhen said with a chuckle.

Although he doesn't know much about the situation of the Qin family, Ni Zhen also knows how powerful the Qin family is, and Qin Haoran is probably not an ordinary person if he can make friends with Jiang Yurou, the wife of the second master of the Qin family. .

Qin Haoran picked up the cup of Pu'er tea and took another sip, then smiled at Ni Zhen: "Mr. Ni, your 'Biluoju' is very unique. I don't think there is another one like 'Biluoju' in Hong Kong." It's a teahouse like this."

"Mr. Qin is absurd." Ni Zhen smiled and said: "I didn't want to be in business at first, so as not to taint the smell of books and tea, but this person can't live without basic necessities in this world, and there is nothing for basic necessities. No need for money to maintain. Helpless, I had no choice but to use the funds left by my late father to open this "Bi Luo Ju". I like it. Fortunately, my business in 'Biluoju' is decent, thanks to Mrs. Qin who have the same hobbies as me and patronize me."

Jiang Yurou also smiled at Qin Haoran: "Yes, here, I know a lot of friends who also like reading and drinking tea. Sometimes we also hold some small activities such as tea parties and book parties."

"According to me, with Mrs. Qin's rich knowledge, if she hadn't married so early, she might have become the second talented person like Yu Xuanji or Li Qingzhao." Ni Zhen praised Jiang Yurou with a smile, A pair of eyes were tightly locked on Jiang Yurou's timid and beautiful face.

Catching Ni Zhen's eyes on Jiang Yurou, Qin Haoran frowned slightly.

Jiang Yurou was a little embarrassed when she heard Ni Zhen's praise, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ni, you are exaggerating. I just like reading books. How can I compare with Yu Xuanji or Li Qingzhao, who have left their names through the ages? .”

"What I said is not an exaggeration. I have met many educated women here in Hong Kong, but none of them can compare with Mrs. Qin." Ni Zhen said seriously: "If it is an ordinary woman, can you be like Qin? Madame, you are proficient in Chinese, English, French, Japanese and Russian through self-study?"

Hearing this, Qin Haoran couldn't help being surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Yurou to be proficient in so many languages.

I saw Ni Zhen again and said: "But it's no wonder that Mrs. Qin's father is the vice president of the University of Hong Kong and the dean of the Chinese School Dr. Jiang Lisong. It can be said that he is a scholarly family. grew up."

Qin Haoran also remembered that Gu Xiangling said that Jiang Yurou's family was a well-known scholarly family in Hong Kong. When the Qin family first came to Hong Kong, they were eager to gain a foothold in Hong Kong, so Qin Jiangshan's father, Qin Haoran's "grandfather", let Qin Jiang Shan married Jiang Yurou, a scholarly lady, to help the Qin family gain sufficient social status.

At this time, after hearing what Ni Zhen said, Qin Haoran realized that Jiang Yurou's father was such a famous intellectual, much better than Meng Huijia's father who ran a newspaper.

At this time, a waiter came to Ni Zhen and said to him: "Boss, the tea you ordered last time has arrived, come down and have a look."

Although he didn't want to leave halfway, Ni Zhen had to go to work, so he had to apologize to Qin Haoran and Jiang Yurou, and then left with the waiter.

So there were only Qin Haoran and Jiang Yurou left in the teahouse, and there were no other guests around.

Originally, with Ni Zhen present, the three of them chatted very naturally, but now that Qin Haoran and Jiang Yurou are left alone, the atmosphere between the two has become silent.Jiang Yurou didn't seem to pay much attention to Qin Haoran, she lowered her head slightly and only cared about drinking tea.

Qin Haoran quietly looked at Jiang Yurou, at her round and beautiful face, at her slightly trembling eyelashes, at the thin fluff on her face, and at her cheeks that were gradually turning red and hot. It's not pleasant to be pleasing to the eye.

As if feeling Qin Haoran's gaze, Jiang Yurou didn't dare to raise her head at all, for fear of being burned by that gaze.

After a long time, she finally opened her mouth: "Just now you said that the little prince is not lonely, but free. Why did you say that?"

Qin Haoran took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Because he knows that these people on this earth have no imagination, everyone is imprisoned by their own utilitarianism and vanity, and they will never be able to escape that narrow world. Only the little prince, as a traveler and a bystander, has never been polluted by the people on the earth, nor has he been put in chains by them. That's why I say that the little prince is not lonely, but free."

Jiang Yurou quietly listened to Qin Haoran's words, looked at the cup of Pu'er tea on the table, and saw the ripples like blue waves, her heart also trembled: "Yes, everyone here is imprisoned by me. I can't escape forever."

Looking at the rippling Pu'er tea, Jiang Yurou said sadly: "The little prince is indeed free, and the only ones who are truly lonely and pitiful are those of us who are imprisoned by ourselves."

She felt that she was also a tightly imprisoned person, not only imprisoned by herself, but also the Qin family where she lived was also a huge cage.

Staring at this frail woman, Qin Haoran suddenly felt distressed, and couldn't help but blurt out: "I can be your fox, just like the one next to the little prince."

Jiang Yurou was stunned, and finally raised her head to look at Qin Haoran.

Then, she smiled, brushed away the slightly messy hair on her sideburns, and changed the subject inadvertently: "How are you doing recently? I heard from Jiang Shan that the original manager of 'Desheng' was Meng Hui Jia's distant cousin is not an easy person to deal with, and when you go to 'Desheng', I'm afraid you will be suppressed by him everywhere."

Qin Haoran sighed slightly in his heart, and said with a smile at the same time: "It's okay, I can handle it well."

"Although the environment is relatively difficult, the sky outside is much wider than inside the Qin family. Don't be discouraged, Ah Ran." Jiang Yurou was afraid that Qin Haoran would be discouraged because of the difference in status and treatment from Qin Haoyuan and Qin Haohan.

"I know." Qin Haoran nodded: "I will let everyone know that I am not weaker than Qin Haoyuan and Qin Haohan, nor inferior to anyone in the Qin family."

Jiang Yurou showed a graceful smile: "I believe in you, I believe that Aran can definitely do it."

"That's right, Second Aunt."

Hearing that Qin Haoran regained his "respectful title" when the two were alone, Jiang Yurou felt a little disappointed in her heart, but was more helpless, because she was indeed Qin Haoran's elder, and this was an unchangeable fact .

Qin Haoran said: "I don't think the boss of this 'Biluoju' is an ordinary person. Second Aunt, it's better not to get too involved with him, otherwise if something happens in the future, I'm afraid it will cause uncontrollable disturbances."

When Jiang Yurou heard the words, her face changed a little: "Aran, you, what do you mean by that, Mr. Ni and I are just ordinary friends, nothing much."

"I believe in you, Second Aunt." Qin Haoran comforted her with a smile: "But you treat him like an ordinary friend, but he may not think so. Especially since you are behind the Qin family, I am worried that Ni Zhen has evil intentions. In short Second Aunt, you'd better be careful, so as not to be deceived by others."

"You mean Mr. Ni will lie to me?" Jiang Yurou said in surprise, "No way, we usually just talk about books and articles, and talk about drinking tea."

Qin Haoran said: "Anyway, be careful. The so-called intention of harming others is indispensable, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. It is always good to be more vigilant. Of course I also hope that Ni Zhen is a gentleman, even if I am young It's better to judge the heart of a gentleman with a human heart than to be deceived, Second Aunt."

Seeing that Qin Haoran was caring about herself, Jiang Yurou felt better.But she still muttered to herself: "Jiangshan doesn't allow me to make friends with people outside, and you want me to beware of this and that, you men, really..."

The more Jiang Yurou spoke, the softer her voice was, Qin Haoran could only hear the front. Seeing that Jiang Yurou was a bit like a child who was dissatisfied with the discipline of adults, Qin Haoran thought she was very cute, and at the same time felt that Qin Jiangshan's love for her The "high-pressure control" implemented made her often surrounded by loneliness and eager to communicate with others.

Then, the two returned to the atmosphere of mutual silence.After all, Jiang Yurou couldn't get up naturally, so she said to Qin Haoran: "It's getting late, I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, she stood up and walked outside, but Qin Haoran's voice came again: "Sister Rou."

She paused and stopped there.

"I just said that I would like to be that fox. I was not joking."

Jiang Yurou's body trembled imperceptibly, and then she took another step and quickly left the second floor, but her swaying back seemed to be running away.

Looking down from the window, Qin Haoran could see Jiang Yurou leaving the gate of "Biluoju" and walking towards the car outside.

The driver opened the rear door for her, but she didn't go in immediately, but froze there.

She seemed to want to turn around, but she never made such a move. After a moment of hesitation, she finally got into the car, leaving behind a trail of smoke and dust.

Qin Haoran withdrew his gaze, picked up the small purple sand teacup, and quietly looked at the rippling Pu'er tea inside, feeling a little lost.

"Has Mrs. Qin left?" Ni Zhen, who came back here, saw that Jiang Yurou was gone, and Qin Haoran was the only one left here, so he asked.

Qin Haoran glanced at him indifferently, did not answer his question, but asked: "Was Mr. Ni a farmer when he was young?"

Ni Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head with a smile: "No, Mr. Qin, why would you ask such a question?"

Qin Haoran put his eyes back on the teacup, as if he was talking to himself: "Because I saw the calluses on your hands so thick, I thought you made them with a hoe."
