Chapter 7

Jin Dali laughed at himself and said, "I can't help it. A child from a small family doesn't know where to put his hands when he sees a big man like Mr. Cheng."

Cheng Da smiled and nodded at Xiao Jin and said: "Miss Jin, Mr. Jin and I hit it off right away, as if we knew each other a long time ago, you are welcome."

Jin Dali cheerfully flattered at the side: "I feel the same! I feel the same! I agree with you!" Xiao Jin glanced at Jin Dali, with a disgusted expression on his face.

Cheng Da sat down, took the coffee that Jin Dali handed over, looked at Xiao Jin, took a sip of the coffee, but was so hot that he overturned the coffee...

Xiao Jin raised her head and took a careful look at Cheng Da. She only felt something touched deep inside her heart, and she half opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she was not sure.Xiao Jin was stunned for a while, then turned and walked outside.

Jin Dali also looked at the overturned coffee thoughtfully. Cheng Da's thoughts had been noticed by him a long time ago, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, Xiao Jin specially prepared a family banquet for Mr. Cheng today. Don't be rude, sir."

Cheng Da eyes followed Xiao Jin, and said perfunctorily, "Where, there is Miss Lao Jin."

Jin Dali stared at Cheng Da, and laughed like an old fox seeing a chicken. Seeing that Cheng Da was so attached to his daughter, he was already happy.Cheng Da glanced at Jin Dali and sneered a few times.

Jin Dali asked, "What business does Mr. Cheng do in the UK?"

Cheng Da casually said, "Land business."

"Mr. Cheng is passing through here, or is he a permanent resident?"

"Tired of staying in London, come out for a change of air, and take a look at what business can be done in Kuala Lumpur."

Jin Dali leaned over with a full face, and said shamelessly: "Mr. Cheng, if you ask others this, you will be deceived. If you ask me, you are asking the right person. You don't know, the gold mines in Nanyang There is still a lot to do, I myself once invested in a gold mine, but my luck was not good, the ghost did not take gold seriously, otherwise today, I am afraid that I will be richer than you, Mr. Cheng."

Cheng laughed and nodded, "I heard that the British lost their gold, but I didn't know it was yours. If that's the case, how dare you invest in gold mines?"

Jin Dali said dejectedly: "Everything comes first and foremost. With you, Mr. Cheng, in charge, it will be auspicious, and a nobleman will come to your door. It will not be too bad. If Mr. Cheng is willing, I can point out a few gold mines and see if we can invest together. Buy it. This is a huge deal with huge profits, if I didn't hit it off with Mr. Cheng, I wouldn't say it."

Jin Dali found that Cheng Da was absent-minded, he followed Cheng Da's gaze to look out, and saw Xiao Jin's figure outside the window.He smiled even more happily. With his daughter in hand, he would not worry about not being able to catch the golden turtle. Then he said, "Mr. Cheng, if you are willing, I will take you to those gold mines."

Cheng Yuan waved his hand distractedly, and said, "You decide these things. I only care about investment. For specific matters, go talk to a lawyer."

Jin Dali didn't say anything, but he was very happy in his heart. He didn't expect that he would snatch such a rich master in just three sentences. He pretended to be polite and said: "Mr. Cheng has to make a big decision. It's really not my wish to talk about business when we meet."

Cheng Darao stared at Jin Dali with interest, this face still made Cheng Da disgusted as always.He changed the subject and asked: "If your daughter has time, I would like to invite her to a reception. The UK director of HSBC has taken good care of me. I would like to hold a reception to thank you. I don't know—"

Jin Dali hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I have time!" He was overjoyed, the deal was finalized.

When he returned, the old man who wrote the letter from home was already waiting for him, Cheng Da smiled and said, "I kept the old man waiting for a long time."

The old man nodded hurriedly and said, "It's okay! It's okay!" He sat down in trepidation, picked up a pen and paper, and prepared to write a letter to Cheng Da.

In these years, only in this way can Cheng Da feel the existence of his parents.A letter from home represents his thousands of feelings, which has become his habit.Many times, he feels that his parents are protecting him in the dark and bless him until today.

Cheng Da sat at the large table, smoking a cigar, and said slowly: "Father and mother, please forgive my son for being unfilial. It will be a year since he left. He has traveled to many faraway places, met many people, and learned a lot. , it seems that when I first arrived in Kuala Lumpur, I was still dreaming. The last time I saw you at sea was on Golden Toad Island. Do you live there? Without you, my son’s life would have been ruined long ago..." He smiled wryly, and continued, "But it's okay to die, and I can meet you soon. I often miss you, and I often miss myself, the one who went ashore by the sea. Sometimes I feel like I'm dead. Sometimes I wish I hadn't been born, I'm full of hate now. I don't know who to hate, the people who lied to me, or myself, or the gold? I feel like I'm dead, I I feel like no one can save me."

Cheng Da said these words from his heart, and the bitterness of the past few years came to his heart one by one. He could no longer control himself, got up and walked to the window, opened the window, in the night, Kuala Lumpur was very quiet, and the sound of the tide Washed by the sea.Half of his figure was hidden in the darkness, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

The old man watched him furtively over his glasses.

Cheng Da turned his back to him and said: "Don't tell others, I will give you ten times the money, and you can come here once a week from now on?"

The old man nodded and stood up, left the written family letter, bowed and left.

Cheng Da still stood with his back at the window, motionless, lost in thought.After a long time, he called the attendant boy, took out a box of money, and ordered: "Go and send this box of money to the fourth sister-in-law and sixth sister-in-law in the shack area, and tell the fourth sister-in-law and sixth sister-in-law that they can keep this box of money. Go home if you want to go home, buy a house if you don’t want to go home, live a good life, and raise your children.”

The boy nodded and went out with the money.

Cheng Da will never forget the covenant with Xiao Ji and Lao Fei. He will never forget the sad eyes of those compatriots on the piggy boat when he was 12 years old. These years, this has been his nightmare, and he has no peace in his dreams.He couldn't forget the helpless and miserable expressions of those Chinese laborers who were scattered everywhere.Therefore, as soon as he was rich, he established the Cheng's Fund, which was specially set up to help Chinese workers all over the world.In less than a year, many Chinese workers have been rescued. He has always wanted to make this fund bigger and stronger, so that more Chinese workers can be compensated by then.

Xiao Jin and Cheng Da sat under a palm tree, with a blanket in front of them, and various foods were displayed on it. It seemed that the reception had just ended.

Cheng Da lay on the beach, pillowed on his arm, and looked at Xiao Jin with teasing eyes.Xiao Jin sat back vigilantly, only to find that the skirt was being held by Cheng Da.

Cheng laughed loudly, let go of his hand, and asked, "Your father regards you so strictly, why did he let you out?"

Xiao Jin's face darkened, and he said depressedly: "If my mother's ashes can be sold for money, so can he."

Cheng Da looked at her, and asked with a half-smile and half-seriousness: "Then do you think I can afford it?"

Xiao Jin then laughed: "You are so annoying, people say you are from London."

"I come from China."

"Liar."

"Others will lie to you, but I will not lie to you. Since the first time I saw you, I have no intention of lying to you."

Xiao Jin thought for a while and asked, "You mean the time on the street?"

Cheng Da stopped, and suddenly said: "Papaya head."

Xiao Jin looked at Cheng Da blankly, and the two looked at each other briefly. She vaguely remembered something, but she seemed to remember nothing.

"One night, you went to buy pickled papaya." Cheng Da looked at Xiao Jin and reminded him.

"And you said you didn't lie to me. How could you go to a place that sells pickled papayas?"

Cheng Da didn't say anything, just stared at Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin stared at him for a long time, the distant memory seemed to be drawn closer, and he murmured: "Your eyes...the eyes can't lie."

Cheng Da was a little moved, "Do you remember these eyes?"

Xiao Jin lowered his head and whispered, "It's just a bit similar."

Cheng Da recalled the scene when he met Xiao Jin, and said repeatedly: "One night, a boy saw a girl go to buy pickled papaya. The girl was very beautiful, and her hair was still a little wet. She said she wanted to buy it for her father to drink... "

Xiao Jin was stunned for a long time, a little surprised, "Why did you come back?"

Cheng Da looked into the distance and said sadly, "That young man is dead..." He didn't say the rest.

Xiao Jin said fearfully: "Do you really want to invest in my father, or do you have other purposes? I'm afraid." She knew more or less about those things.

Cheng Da suddenly grabbed Xiao Jin's arm viciously, and said, "Did no one propose to marry her all these years? I mean that girl."

Xiao Jin wanted to withdraw her arm, but Cheng Da held it too tightly, and she cried, "I'm in pain."

Cheng Da regained his composure and let go of his hand, feeling a little agitated.Xiao Jin rubbed his arms and said slowly, "That girl died a long time ago."

The two were silent for a while, Cheng Da raised his head and said, "Okay! Let's go." Xiao Jin followed Cheng Da cautiously.

The carriage stopped at the door of Cheng Da's bungalow, and Cheng Da said: "I want to go to London next week, we have a chance to see you before we leave, right?"

Xiao Jin bowed his head and said nothing.

"Maybe not coming back, of course, it's just a possibility."

Xiao Jin looked up at Cheng Da in surprise. She didn't know what this man was doing when he came back, but she had to admit that this man really attracted her.

Cheng Da smiled and said, "It's getting late, are you going to come in and sit down for a while, or are you afraid to make your father worry about going home early?"

Xiao Jin bit his lip and thought for a moment, jumped out of the car, walked faster than Cheng Da, and walked to Cheng Da's bungalow in one breath.

After entering the room, Cheng Da poured two glasses of wine and clinked glasses with Xiao Jin.Xiao Jin looked at Cheng Da angrily, and drank the wine in one gulp.Under the light, her face was flushed, and Cheng Da was bewildered. He asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jin said angrily, "You want to leave, don't you? Let's go."

Cheng Da looked at her strangely, "It's about my business with your father."

Xiao Jin stood up and poured himself another cup, drank it down and said, "So women shouldn't interrupt."

"Your father taught you."

Xiao Jin smiled wryly and said: "It's a pity that no one taught him. If I was deceived by you, it would be his fault."

"why?"

"Because you're all the same. I can tell lies, I can lie, and I know how to do it."

Cheng Da sighed, "It's a pity."

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that women are too smart, and men don't like them too much."

Xiao Jin sneered, "So you have to avoid it."

Cheng Da's eyes suddenly became affectionate, stared at Xiao Jin, and said in a word: "I will take you with me. Are you going?"

Xiao Jin put down the wine glass, stared at Cheng Da, seeing that Cheng Da had no intention of joking at all, then made an exaggerated movement, she dropped the wine glass, jumped on Cheng Da, wrapped her legs around Cheng Da's waist, and threw Cheng Da Big on the ground.

The two were close at hand, and Xiao Jin gritted his teeth, almost whispering: "Then take me away, and don't do business with my father."

Xiao Jin's sudden movement startled Cheng Da, but he quickly calmed down. Xiao Jin's eyes were full of fire, forcing him to have nowhere to escape.

How could it be like this?Things were beyond Cheng Da's expectation.He just wants to get back what he lost, and he only hurts those who hurt him.Cheng Da soon became confused again.Xiao Jin rode on him, gasped heavily, and looked at him provocatively. Wherever his eyes went, everything was so hot that Cheng Da dared not look directly at it.

"Aren't you going to take me away? Take me away, I've had enough of my dad." Xiao Jin whispered in Cheng Da's ear.

The two looked at each other for half a minute.Cheng Da's heart sank, he carried Xiao Jin into the house, and kicked the door behind him.

Cheng Da didn't know if this revenge was a bit cruel.He loved Xiao Jin deeply, from the very beginning, even if her father killed him, he still loved her.This kind of love is indescribable; this kind of love is intertwined with hatred, which makes Cheng Da feel overwhelmed with pain.

If there is no Xiaojin, he may live an ordinary life on the island with the gold he already has before; if there is no Xiaojin, he may not be so obstinate to dig new gold mines; Risking his life to go to Gui Lao's territory to steal gold; if there is no Xiao Jin, he may leave and never come back.

The next day, Cheng Da left Kuala Lumpur quietly.After Xiaojin heard the news, he ran to the dock like crazy, but the boat had already left the dock.Holding her skirt, Xiao Jin ran desperately along the trestle bridge. She ran to the end, and then she ran to the sea.Xiao Jin collapsed to the ground, his face full of tears.Since that night, she has been inseparable from this man, but he left and left himself here alone.

The young man who had been with Cheng Da walked forward with two boxes, and said to Xiao Jin, "Miss Jin? When my master leaves, let me give you these two boxes. He will go to the London real estate office to deal with them." Business, I will be back in June next year. When I left, the master said, if Miss Jin needs anything, just ask."

Xiao Jin was in despair, she didn't know what would happen in the future, she only knew that Cheng Da was gone, the man who had said he would marry her had gone without a sound, as if he didn't know when he would come to her.All love, all hate, just taken away by him?
Xiao Jin was depressed for a while, and Jin Dali felt heartbroken looking at it.Seeing that she hadn't eaten for a few days that day, she was very anxious and hurried to find a doctor.The doctor looked at it for a while, then went outside and whispered to Jin Dali: "Master, your daughter is pregnant."

Jin Dali was taken aback, and immediately understood what was going on, and said to the doctor irritably: "Go to the accountant to pay the bill." He frowned and was upset.After the doctor left, he aggressively pushed open the door and came in, slapping Xiao Jin twice.

Jin Dali was about to cry, and said weakly: "Damn, you and him...damn!"

Xiao Jin was beaten, and said stubbornly: "You let me go out."

Jin Dali roared: "I didn't let you and him... you!"

Xiao Jin turned his face away and didn't speak.

Jin Dali sat beside Xiao Jin's bed, feeling confused for a moment, feeling remorse and hope, and said to himself alone: ​​"He, he...he might really come back, he invested a lot of money, and he will be with me. Doing real estate business in Europe. I added all the money, not even half of his. Do you know how many shares he gave me? [-]%! Maybe he is sincere."

Xiao Jin sneered and said, "Sell me to him, and you will get [-]% of it."

Jin Dali turned his head and stared at her viciously, his face softened after a while.Like a defeated rooster, he said in frustration: "How can you say that? I am your father! What have I done to you? I taught you to read, took you to church, disciplined you, that is For your own good."

Xiao Jin didn't expect him to say that, and was a little dazed.

Jin Dali stood up and said sadly: "Yes! It is said that my daughter can't stay when she grows up, and it will be worrying if she stays! I hope he can really treat you well, and marrying you can be regarded as my relationship with your mother." An explanation. If he dares to treat you badly, I will take his skin!"

Xiao Jin didn't speak, and looked at Jin Dali while rubbing her slightly protruding belly. For the first time, she looked at her father with indescribable eyes. She didn't know whether she was helpless or sad.

Jin Dali walked to the door, turned back and said to Xiao Jin: "After all, I am your own father! After all, you are my flesh and blood, can I harm you? You don't know what kind of virtue your father was when he was a piglet, I don't I want you to go back to that time!"

Jin Dali sighed and walked out. Seeing his father like this, Xiao Jin wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.She struggled in her heart, she could see that Cheng Da came back with hatred.What would he think when his father hurt him like that?What would he do?
